1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Can't I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app on from one till 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: four and then after four o'clock John Covelt's show on 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: demand also on the iHeart app. The UH drug that 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: is sweeping the country. This is a craze of zempic. 6 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: This is the supposed to be a diabetes drug, but 7 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: it turns out a side effect is that you lose weight, 8 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: a good amount of weight, and as long as you 9 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 1: take the drug, it stays off. From what I understand, 10 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: similar drugs have been created by other drug makers. I 11 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: guess everybody's got a similar formula. There's also Wegovy and 12 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: mount Jarro and they they're all supposed to be for diabetes. 13 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: This is known as that off label prescription if sometimes 14 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: they create medicines and they don't know what other what 15 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: other conditions that the drug successfully treats, and doctors can 16 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: can prescribe the drug even if it's not supposed to 17 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: be the primary reason for the prescription. 18 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 2: Oh In John Oprah has confirmed that she is using 19 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: a weight loss drug, but won't confirm which one she's taken. 20 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: Well, everybody's thinking so zempic because unless it's one of 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: these sister drugs, right, like, we'll go via Mountjaro. Novo 22 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: Nordisk is the company that makes ozempic and mcgovi and 23 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: Eli Lilly makes mount Jarro, and they're being hit with 24 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: dozens of lawsuits, mostly over something called gastro paresis. That's 25 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: the medical name for paralysis of the stomach. It causes 26 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,279 Speaker 1: a build up of food in the gut and doesn't 27 00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: sound pleasant. You just keep piling up food and uh. 28 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: Symptoms include nausea, vomiting and severe pain. So I guess yeah, 29 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: if it backs up far enough, it starts to spill out. 30 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: The Daily Mail looked at more than a dozen lawsuits 31 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: in November by patients who were diagnosed with gastroparesis. Some 32 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: of them suffered life threatening bowel injuries. You don't ever 33 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: want to see that phrase. One woman suffered a life 34 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: threatening bowel industry. She used ozempic and underwent surgery which 35 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 1: lasted nearly nine hours. Doctor said, disaccording to a lawsuit. 36 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: You don't know what's true. Doctor said. She would be 37 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: in pain for the rest of her life and we'll 38 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: never have a solid bowel movement again. 39 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 3: Oh my god, just from this weight loss drug. 40 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: That's what she claims. I don't want any lawsuits here. Okay, 41 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: this is what's in the legal papers from the from 42 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: these people who took it. Another case brought by a 43 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: woman who used with GO said she was diagnosed with 44 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: severe gastroparesis and she went a week without a bowel movement. Wow, 45 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: that's gonna hurt. There's a law firm called Levin Pepentonio Rafferty. 46 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: Cameron Stevenson is one of the attorneys. Says he has 47 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: around a hundred clients diagnosed with gastroparesis paralysis the stomach 48 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: after using one of these drugs, and they're investigating a 49 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: thousand more claims. Stephens said, there's no doubt in my 50 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: mind there's going to be thousands of cases that will 51 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: be filed over time, and he said that it's possible 52 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: that it'll be tens of thousands of people. The lawsuit 53 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: involves patients who are medically diagnosed with obstruction or stomach 54 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: paralysis or needed emergency treatment or hospital intervention. And he said, 55 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: if these drugs carry potential permanent side effects or an 56 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: extreme side effect, you have to put that on the 57 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: warning label. See that's The basis for the lawsuit is 58 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: that none of this was claimed. You ever notice on 59 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: those drug commercials that you said, I try to ignore commercials, 60 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: but the side effects always get me to look up. 61 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: But by then I've missed what the drug does. And 62 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: it's forty five seconds worth of really horrific symptoms, you know, paralysis, death, disembowelment. 63 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: And they always show people dancing in the sunshine in 64 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: a field, like a couple twirling around together. So I'm 65 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: watching the couple twirling around and I'm hearing all these 66 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: hideous side effects being listed, and I never get what 67 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: the original disease is. Sometimes I catch the disease and 68 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: it's like, I've never heard of this? What is it? 69 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: Am I supposed to be afraid of this? So they 70 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: they they this this Stevenson lawyer thinks that these drug 71 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: companies have been lying to people saying they knew that 72 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: the primary purpose of the drug was going to be 73 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: weight loss, but they thought it would be better if 74 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: they sold it as a diabetes treatment, and then they 75 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: would promote it as a weight loss after the fact. 76 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: Now nor Vote Novo Nordisk says the lawsuits are without merit. 77 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: The company will vigorously defend itself. Eli Lilly. The magic 78 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: phrase they use patience. Safety is Lily's top priority, even 79 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: if your your stomach is paralyzed and your vomiting. Oh, 80 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: I forgot to mention one of the women who was 81 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: vomiting a lot. She used ozempic and mount jar, both 82 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: of them, and she started vomiting so much that some 83 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: of her teeth fell out. That's that's a lot of 84 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: force if your your teeth come flying out. 85 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 2: I get people, it's hard to lose weight. It is, definitely. 86 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: And when when you hear about these weight loss drugs 87 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 2: and you see these celebrities who look amazing and you 88 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: find out that they're doing that, I get why why 89 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 2: it's so intriguing to people. 90 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 3: But these side effects, it's just it's not worth it. 91 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: There are a lot of unnaturally thin celebrities on the 92 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: Awards show last night. 93 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: I'm I'm looking at some red carpet stuff because the 94 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: the Emmy's aer tonight, and I'm seeing some people I'm 95 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 2: not going to say who, but some celebrities who uh, 96 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 2: look a lot thinner than I have seen them. 97 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: Look In the West Side, Grapevine tells me that a 98 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: zempic is like an epidemic. Everybody's on it. It's it's 99 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: replaced taking. 100 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 3: I mean, I get it. I get it. 101 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: If there are no side effects and there's this magic 102 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 2: pill to help you lose weight, of course, but there's 103 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,239 Speaker 2: always a problem, right. 104 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: There's one woman who said, the worst thing it did 105 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: for me it caused me almost to lose my job. 106 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: I was so sick with it, I couldn't go to work. 107 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: There were days I'd go to work and I couldn't 108 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: because I would I would soil my clothes and I 109 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: would be sick. I had to pack a bag with 110 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: a change of clothes, so if I got sick at 111 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: work and I soiled them, I could change. One woman 112 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: said she suffered severe and permanent personal injuries, pain, suffering 113 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: emotional distress, and that Nordisks should have known that ozempic 114 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: was unreasonably dangerous. I did not have adequate warnings. I 115 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know what I wondered. It's the 116 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: same thing I wonder a little bit about all the 117 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: covid vaccines, since the covid vaccines weren't tested, right, you know, 118 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: I wasn't surprised that there were a lot of side 119 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: effects and maybe I try. I'm wary about taking any 120 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: more boosters because I don't know if you add like 121 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: four or five or six boosters, if that's not going 122 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: to cause a problem eventually, because you know, they never 123 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: tested this stuff for long term. And I took I 124 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: took five of the shots. But you know I've done 125 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: appause on vaccines. 126 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: And you've never had you as far as you know, 127 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 3: you never got COVID. 128 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: No, no, I never had a test. I don't think. 129 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 3: I just came to work and spread it without telling us. 130 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: You got it when you were in Mexico. 131 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 3: I did, Yes, I did. 132 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: One of my sons got it when he was in Mexico. 133 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: Not going there. Uh, when we come back, you could 134 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: all take a quiz. There is now, well there has 135 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: been for a while, a test if you're seventy years 136 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: or older to renew your driver's license, and a lot 137 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: of people are upset and they're failing the test, not 138 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: because they're senile, but the questions are so obsord you're 139 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: in ridiculous. And Steve Lopez, who actually wrote a good 140 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: column for the El Segundo Times, went to the DMV 141 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: director to see if he would change some of the questions, 142 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: and the guy agreed, So we're going to give you 143 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: some of the questions and see if you could if 144 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: you could answer them properly. On the John Cobalt Show 145 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 146 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Coebelt on demand from KFI AM 147 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 4: six forty. 148 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: We're on from one until four and then after four 149 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand. The DMV is filled 150 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: with humanity's rejects and failures. That's most of the employee 151 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just an awful, awful agency, just dreadful. 152 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: And I remember when my sons were getting their driver's 153 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: licenses having to go in there and look at these 154 00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: people sitting sitting in their cubicles or sitting behind the windows, 155 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: and the lines would be so long and the pace 156 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: so slow, and so many of the workstations would be empty, 157 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: the service windows would be empty. It seemed that only 158 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: a fraction of the staff bothered to show up. And 159 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: this was before COVID, And I've always wondered, like, who 160 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: are these people who grows up to work at a 161 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: DMV cubicle and then does a lazy job and then 162 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: does a bad job, like, who is that kid? I guess, 163 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: thinking back, you could probably pick out in retrospect the 164 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: DMV kid in your class. Well, it's has stayed that 165 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 1: way forever. Recently they got a new head, a new 166 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: director named Steve Gordon. Steve Gordon was a Silicon Valley 167 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: tech executive. Now he didn't need this job, but after 168 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: standing in line for hours at a DMV office in 169 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: San Jose, his wife said, why don't you be a 170 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: f rather than a complainer? And of course wives are 171 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: always right, and I guess he wanted something to do 172 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: at the same time. Newsom, even Gavin Newsom, Gavin Newsom 173 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: has these weird moments where he tries to channel what 174 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: the common man is complaining about to give the impression 175 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: that he connects. But as we know, many of the 176 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: agencies that he'll temporarily complain about never get fixed. Well, 177 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: he hired Gordon to be the to be the director 178 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: of DMV, and Gordon visited every one of the states 179 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty offices, oh Man to see what 180 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: it's like. And he's been reading all the complaints from 181 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: us and he's been lately he's been working on the 182 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: renewal test for drivers aged seventy and older. Now, the 183 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: population in California is rapidly turning older and older, right, 184 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: and there's gonna be all more senior citizens on the road. 185 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: And it turns out the the and everybody thinks, well, 186 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: you know, the vision test, that is the key. But 187 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: they don't just give you a vision test. They give 188 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: you a regular rules of the road test. And they 189 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: profiled David Warburton from Santa Clarita. He wanted to renew 190 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: his license, and of course the first thing is he 191 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: had pre registered online. There was no record of his preregistration. 192 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: He went along to the vision test, past that, then 193 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: he went to the knowledge test. Listen to the questions 194 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: because he was sitting next to a woman who had 195 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: failed the test three times in a row. And then 196 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: he failed. Steve Warburton failed even though he'd studied the handbook, 197 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: and he said some of the questions were so were 198 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: so obscure. He thought they were trick questions and they 199 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with determining whether you're a safe driver. 200 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: Here's a question, see if you can answer this. As 201 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: you approach a blind curve on a winding Mountain Road. 202 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: How far away should you begin honking your horn to 203 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: war an oncoming traffic? Two hundred feet? 204 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 2: What do you say one hundred feet? 205 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 1: You are wrong? Eric is right? How'd you know that? 206 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: I have no idea? That was a shot in the dark. 207 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: You got the exact number, correct, war Burton, it said 208 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: one hundred feet, Like Deborah, that was a complete shot 209 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: in the dark. All right, let's let's see another question. 210 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: Question asked what should a driver do when seeing a 211 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: road sign that says never use only or never root 212 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: any V? 213 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 3: I have no idea. 214 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: Now you're over two? What are you? Never root? Never 215 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: root any the never root or it says never use only. 216 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: I got nothing. See, you're supposed to know that NEV 217 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: means neighborhood electric vehicle such as a golf cart. That's 218 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: the question they're failing you on. Now, how often do 219 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: you come across a golf cart lane? What is another 220 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: name for hand to hand? What is another name for 221 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: the hand to hand steering method? Ten and two? I 222 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: don't they Steve Lopez didn't put an answer to this, 223 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: But that was just another question. 224 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 3: I have never heard of these things before. 225 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: Here's here's another one. What's the minimum manslaughter sentence for 226 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: killing someone while evading police fifteen years. He doesn't have 227 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: the answer to that. Come on, Steve, what are we 228 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: doing here? Why do you have to know that your Yeah, 229 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: it's not a bar exams. 230 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, how is this going to help you be a 231 00:14:59,440 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 3: better drug? 232 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: Well, by the end of the column, he was making 233 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: the point that there were a bunch of questions that 234 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: nobody needs to know. Right. One more that doesn't have 235 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: an answer. What's the punishment if you evade a law 236 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: enforcement officer but no bodily injury occurs? Well, there is 237 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: no there there is no penalty, there's no punishment. You 238 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: see these car chases all the time. Nothing happens to 239 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: those people. They certainly don't go to prison. So Gordon, 240 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: they've already removed twenty questions from the rotation. The questions 241 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: were so bad, and Gordon admitted that he looked at 242 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: the test again after Lopez called him, and he's got 243 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: five more he wants to get rid of. So now 244 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know. You don't have to 245 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: take the written test when you're elderly and you want 246 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: to get the renewal, You could take a video training 247 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: course with review questions after each segment, and if you 248 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: get one wrong, you could try again and again until 249 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: you get it right. So some people were standing in 250 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: long lines and failing the tasks repeatedly, and others just 251 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: did it online from their home. They didn't know it though. 252 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: Some people didn't know you could stay home and do 253 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: it online because the DMV never told them. De you're 254 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: not allowed to drive anymore. 255 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a big san. 256 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: I just got to notice you're being taken off the road. 257 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty. 258 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: We're on the radio from month till four and after 259 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: four o'clock. Whatever you missed John Cobelt's show on demand 260 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: on the iHeart app as well Conway coming up after 261 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: four o'clock. The there's a story about the Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker. 262 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: He is now begging the Texas Governor Greg Abbott to 263 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: stop sending illegal aliens. And I'll get to that in 264 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: just a moment. But in passing in this story, it 265 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: mentioned that Los Angeles has been hit with a lot 266 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: of migrants and that the mayor of Los Angeles has 267 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: been demanding more federal aid, which Biden will give Now, 268 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: it hasn't been as big as story here as it 269 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: has been in New York and Chicago because the New 270 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: York and Chicago mayors have been complaining about it, and 271 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: the LA mayor has not been Karen Bass has not 272 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: been that vocal. So how many migrants, how many illegal 273 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: aliens have been shipped here? And where are they going? 274 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: Because obviously we don't have enough room for the homeless. 275 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: All the vagrants are still outside by the tens of thousands, 276 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: So where are the migrants being shipped to LA going? 277 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: Because we're a sanctuary state as well sanctuary city and state. 278 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: It's because there's been no squawking from her, so she's 279 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,719 Speaker 1: just casually accepting all the illegal aliens. So are they 280 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: just being added to the homeless population in the street. 281 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: Of course, none of this is covered in the news. 282 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: Why would anybody cover it in the news. See in 283 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: New York and Chicago, it's new to them, so it's 284 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: a big deal. Now. The Illinois governor is JB. Pritzker. 285 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: The Pritzkers are an extremely wealthy family that's highatt money. 286 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: In fact, JB. Pritzker is thinking and running for president. 287 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: He's like newsoir and he's got the same problems Newsom has. 288 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: Illinois is a disaster area. Chicago is a disaster city. 289 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: They have extremely high taxes, people are moving out by 290 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: the thousands. And JB. Pritzker has a cousin named Thomas Pritzker, 291 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 1: who is named in the Jeffrey Epstein document dump. But 292 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: that doesn't stop JB. Pritzker from going to the media 293 00:18:54,119 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: and actually begging Greg Abbott, the Texas governor, to stop 294 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: sending the illegal aliens. In fact, he wrote a letter 295 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: to Abbott Chicago Sun Times sought listen to this while 296 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: action is pending at the federal level. I plead with 297 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: you for mercy for the tens of thousands of people 298 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: were powerless to speak for themselves. No Pritzker is Pritzker 299 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: is pleading for mercy for himself because he's got no 300 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: place to put these people. If Chicago's a sanctuary city, again, 301 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: what's the squawking about. And by the way, none of 302 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: these mayors have rescinded that public status. In fact, I 303 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: believe all the local city councils and legislatures have passed 304 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: resolutions affirming that they are sanctuary cities or sanctuary states. 305 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: So none of that has been taken back in writing, 306 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: and certainly none of it has been taken back rhetorically. 307 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: See the windshills in Chicago. Kago hit minus seventeen over 308 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: the weekend and the total number of migrants illegal aliens 309 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: to Chicago is now thirty four thousand, five hundred plus, 310 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: claiming that Abbot has displayed callousness. I hate to sound 311 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: like a broken record on this, but is Texas supposed 312 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: to absorb three million people? 313 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 5: This? 314 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: I realized, this is political nonsense, it's misdirection, it's too 315 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: I guess convince the stupid that Greg Abbott's the bad 316 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: guy and this is wrong. To ship the illegals out 317 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: of Texas. You never hear the public conversation going deeper 318 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: than that. You never hear it going to Okay, you 319 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: don't want the illegals in your state or your city. 320 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: That's understandable. But is Texas supposed to take all three 321 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: million of them? Like? What is Brownsville supposed to do? 322 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: What is al Paso supposed to do? Just take hundreds 323 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: of thousands of illegal aliens? I mean Chicago has only 324 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: got thirty four thousand, which was which isn't much compared 325 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: to the millions of residents they have now. Brandon Johnson, 326 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: the mayor, I told you this the other day. He 327 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: put two hundred to sit in buses. They turned on 328 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: the bus engines, pranked up the heat and that's where 329 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: two hundred illegals are living now. It says here they've 330 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: got migrant food lines. In Chicago, they were standing in 331 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: a long line during during a big snowstorm on January twelfth, 332 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: and they just you know, it's the same story everywhere. 333 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: They're scrambling to house hundreds of that was scrambling. They 334 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: don't have the housing, they don't have the space. I 335 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: don't know. I keep hearing about all the empty, empty 336 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: office buildings across the country in the cities. They had 337 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: to just open up the empty office buildings and let 338 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: them in. We're all out sleeping bags. I saw a 339 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: story on sixty Minutes last night that New York City 340 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: has something like ninety five million square feet of empty 341 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: office space, and they were saying that this is this 342 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: is permanent, that that office workers are never coming back. 343 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: A lot of companies have moved out, a lot of 344 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: people are working from home, and it's never going back 345 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: to the old way, and there are no buyers. There 346 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: are no new tenants wanting this office space. They showed 347 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: two guys who had offered eighty million dollars for an 348 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,479 Speaker 1: office building before the pandemic. Now they're buying it for 349 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: forty million, fifty percent discount. They had a developer on 350 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: who walked away from his mortgage he had, he had 351 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: this huge multimillion dollar mortgage, just said, ye know, I'm 352 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: walking on. You win some, you lose them. So the 353 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: banks now have all this debt that's never going to 354 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: be paid back. They own the building, but they don't 355 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: have anybody who wants to buy the building or rent 356 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: the building. And the speculation is, well, after enough of 357 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: this happens and then the banks have to write down 358 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: these massive losses, is there going to be some kind 359 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: of collapse like there was with the two thousand and 360 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: eight mortgage belt down. I mean, how many empty buildings 361 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: and how many busted leases and busted mortgages can the 362 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: banks absorb? But it just seems like that's where you 363 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: put the illegal aliens because all the northern cities have 364 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: this problem. It's just now he's trying to say that 365 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: it's prits going back to JB. Pritzker, winter is threatening 366 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: vulnerable people's lives. Do not send any more people to 367 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: our state. Don't just find him somewhere warm. You didn't 368 00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: say you were a summer sanctuary city, you were a 369 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: general sanctuary city. You didn't specify the seasons. I'm all 370 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: Biden has to do is shut down the border. Trump 371 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: did it. They know what to do. Biden suspended all 372 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: of Trump's laws. And it's simple, and they know this, 373 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: but he boxed himself into a corner. Or whoever's running 374 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: the government is right, because Biden is napping whoever's running 375 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: the government. They said, anything Trump did, we're doing the opposite, Like, 376 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: all right, how about it? Go ahead? So they undid 377 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: all the immigration laws that were work. These are all 378 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: immigration policies, the laws. You don't have to add any 379 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: more laws. You don't have to change anything. The laws 380 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: work as is. You have to enforce the laws. You 381 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: have to have the proper policies to enable the laws 382 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: to work as they're written. And all those policies were suspended. 383 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: The laws were ignored. So go back to the old way. 384 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 1: They won't do it because the Biden administration has a 385 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: lot of these open border fanatics who think America is illegitimate, 386 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: not entitled to its own borders, not entitled to its 387 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: own language and its own culture. Everything we have has 388 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: to be in some way destroyed. And the people inside 389 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: the government really believe that, and they have to be 390 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: flushed out for this to stop. Because even with the 391 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: thousands of people freezing in minus seventeen degree weather in Chicago, 392 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: they're not shutting the border down. They blame Abbott for 393 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: putting them on a bus. This classic misdirection. Look over here, 394 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: Pritzker's the problem. Pritzker and the rest of these Democratic jackasses, 395 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: they should be picketing of Biden's White House, and they 396 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: got the public behind him. I think the approval rating 397 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: for Biden on immigration is about thirty percent. You know, 398 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: you're not going to lose too many votes. You'll just 399 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: upset the fanatic and they're upset all the time. Anyway, 400 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: more coming up. 401 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM 402 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 4: six forty. 403 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: When we were talking about how the latest Democratic governor, JB. 404 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: Pritzker in Illinois is begging greg about not to send 405 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: any more illegal aliens, and Abbott says no, when Joe 406 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: Biden closes the border, then I'll stop sending you illegal aliens. 407 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: And it's really time that for the I mean both 408 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: the big majorities in both parties. I think Biden is 409 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 1: screwing up the border. This is not a debatable issue anymore. 410 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: His approval rating is thirty percent or less on that issue. 411 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: In fact, ABC News has a poll that they just 412 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: conducted between January fourth and eighth, and his overall approval 413 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: rating is thirty three percent. Thirty three percent. I don't 414 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: think there's been a approval rating that lowsins Richard Nixon. 415 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: I mean that is, his disapproval is fifty eight percent. 416 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: Nobody gets elected with a thirty three percent approval rating. 417 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: I don't care who you're running against. I mean if 418 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: he uh. And the thing is he can't do anything 419 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: about it. Only twenty eight percent twenty eight percent of 420 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: those polls said he has adequate mental sharpness. Only twenty 421 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: eight percent sayson good enough physical health. You imagine this, 422 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: More than seventy percent of the public thinks he doesn't 423 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: have the mental or physical health to be president. That'sh 424 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: The approval on the economy is thirty one percent, and uh, 425 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: you know the immigration, it's all bad numbers everything, and 426 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: they keep, they keep, they keep trying to run on 427 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: the economy, but they can't get around the cumulative inflation. 428 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: And that's almost never discussed in public by all these 429 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 1: analysts and politicians. It doesn't matter what the inflation is 430 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: this month. It matters about the cumulative number over the 431 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: last three years, which can be twenty, twenty five, thirty 432 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: percent and more depending on the price category. But wow, 433 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: that that's a hole that he can't fix because he's 434 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 1: not getting younger, He's not going to get mentally sharper, 435 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: he's not going to get physically stronger. None of that's 436 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: going to happen. I mean, why would you vote for 437 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: somebody if you don't think that they're mentally competent anymore? 438 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: How do you vote yes on that? Still can't believe 439 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: he's going to be the nominate. That just still doesn't 440 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: seem like it's it's possible. You could have a guy 441 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: that over seventy percent of the public think is not 442 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: mentally competent, mentally sharp to be president and he's still 443 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: to get elected. Listen to this. Have you heard about 444 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: this guy? I remember this story. Joseph Fretzi is that 445 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: name sounds familiar. He got a life sentence in Austria 446 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: back in two thousand and nine. It turned out he 447 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: had his daughter imprisoned in his basement for decades twenty 448 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: four years. She was locked in the basement as a 449 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: sex slave, and he was constantly sexually assaulting her, raping her. 450 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: And she had seven children that she gave birth to 451 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: and one of them died. He got a life sentence 452 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine for all this, and he 453 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: is now up for for parole. He might soon be released. 454 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: He's been in prison for sixteen years incest, rape, coercion, 455 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: false imprisonment and enslavement. This is his first year of 456 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: parole eligibility. This is Austria. A psychiatric report determined that 457 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: he's no longer dangerous right now, he appears to be confused. 458 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: He talks to his television. He thinks he's a pop 459 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: star and discusses family visits that never happened. He keeps 460 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: falling and needs a walker. He fathered seven children with 461 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: his daughter. You should see his picture too. I mean 462 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: he looks like a monster. It just is disgusting here 463 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: and they're letting him out. They should kill him. They 464 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: should torture him. You think an Austria, you can't get 465 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: a life sentence in Austria. Man, they've gone soft there, kinway. 466 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 5: Hey, now, hey, have you ever been driving down the 467 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 5: street with the Lovely One with Deborah Colebelt and you 468 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 5: saw something weird and you go, that's kind of odd? 469 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 5: You know, you point out odd things in life? Yes, 470 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 5: I did that all day. Yes, Now, if you fathered 471 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 5: seven kids with your daughter, I don't think you can 472 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 5: say that anymore. 473 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: But that's what you got out of the story. 474 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 5: Yes, I don't think you'd say that's odd anymore without 475 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 5: looking in a mirror and saying, well, you're a bit 476 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 5: odd too, right, you know, come on, Yes, the wife 477 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 5: should have a good comeback for that's right, that's right.

The cadence 482 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 5: is there. Some of the material is okay, but it's not. 483 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 5: It's no, it's it's it's a I George Carlin It's 484 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 5: like if he was alive today, what he would maybe 485 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 5: be doing. 486 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: Boy, he was one of my all time things. He 487 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: was he was everybody's favorite. 488 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 5: He was. 489 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: He was a fan of KFI. Is that right? He 490 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: came on our show a couple of times and he 491 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: used to call our producer just to talk.
