1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Despite Gavin Newsom constantly saying, well, 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: you know, we're the fourth largest economy in the world. 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: I told you yesterday that a good deal of the 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: state is barely surviving. We've got about a third of 6 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: the state on medicare. We have about thirty five percent 7 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: of the state says every month they got to choose 8 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: between either food or paying the rent. And it's even 9 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: it's middle class, it's it's Laura, middle class, working class. However, 10 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: you define yourself poor people, you get you're getting screwed 11 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: by the government, and then you keep voting in the 12 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 1: people who are screwing you, which is it's really curious. 13 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: You know, we know about the four fifty five dollars 14 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: gas which is going to get worse, and the extreme taxes. 15 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: But one of the reasons, now yesterday I had spent some 16 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: I'm telling you how unemployment is at five point four percent. 17 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: We are tied for number one in the country. We 18 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: have one of the worst employment pictures here. You think 19 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: that might be tied into the fact that California is 20 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: rated number fifty in terms of business climate. Yes, if 21 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: you talk to business owners and they're polled regularly every year, 22 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: California has the worst climate to start or run a 23 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: business in the entire country. Number fifty, number fifty, huh, 24 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: and we're number one in unemployment. There you go, and 25 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: there's a story that's tracked the number of companies that 26 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: have left the state. Dure of Labor Statistics has found 27 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: that California has been losing more companies than it's been 28 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: gaining since twenty fourteen. This is ten years of companies 29 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: fleeing the state. In fact, in twenty twenty two, we 30 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: lost net seven hundred and forty one companies. And he 31 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: added all the companies that left the state and then 32 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: looked at all the companies that came in. Seven hundred 33 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: and forty one more companies left, so we were at 34 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: minus seven forty one. That's a lot of businesses, and 35 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: that's a lot of employees. How many tens of thousands 36 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: of employees out of work? That's just twenty twenty two. 37 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three, the net out migration was five 38 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three, So in a two year period 39 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: we lost almost thirteen hundred more companies than moved in here. 40 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: California is ranked among the top three states with the 41 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: highest rates of out migration since twenty fifteen. Corporate executives 42 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: say too many taxes. The state taxes its highest earners 43 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: at thirteen percent of their regular income, again an attack 44 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: on people who are smart and talented and do well. 45 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: That's on top of the thirty seven percent federal tax. 46 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: So if you do well in the state of California 47 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: and you hit a certain point in income, you lose 48 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: over fifty percent. Over fifty percent. That doesn't include sales tax, 49 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: property taxes, gas taxes, and all the thousand and one 50 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: other taxes out there. They also apply the thirteen point 51 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: three percent rate to profits from the sale of investments 52 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: under the sale of business asset. It is a constant theft, 53 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: constantly stealing money from successful people. They talk with John Lonsdale. 54 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: He has a venture capital firm, and he moved out 55 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: to Texas in twenty twenty, and he says, I could 56 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,559 Speaker 1: either put that money towards things that are fixing the world, 57 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: in other words, other venture capital investments, or give it 58 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: to the California state government. And that's the thing. Even 59 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: even if you give them the money, you don't get 60 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: anything for it. It gets sucked into the government. Right. 61 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: I was talking with somebody the other day. We're both 62 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: from the East Coast, and we knew that grown up 63 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: New Jersey and New York were wildly corrupt. But the 64 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: difference was and this is why the mafia operated wherever 65 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: they controlled things in New York and New Jersey. Yeah, 66 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: they're going to take their cut. They're going to take 67 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: ten percent off the top, but you'll get your road, right, 68 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: build you the road here. They take most of the 69 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: money and there's no road. That's the simplest way to 70 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: put it. Old style corruption they skimmed off the top 71 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: and they gave you the road. New style corruption they 72 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: take almost everything and there's no road. Here's some other examples. 73 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: Kevin Cloden from the Milkin Institute said, when businesses complained 74 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: about dealing with regulations in California, they're not kidding. There's 75 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: lots of overlapping authorities and lots of businesses find it 76 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: really hard to operate, so they just get out of here. 77 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: And that means no jobs. We're losing tens of thousands 78 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: of jobs. Right. A few years back, Carls Junior said 79 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: it was relocating to Tennessee. Now in and out, it's 80 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 1: partially relocating there. And at the time the CEO, Andrew Puzzder, says, 81 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: it takes five times as long to open up a 82 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: Carl's Junior in California than it would in Texas or 83 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: other state. Five times as much, Cluden said, lower tax 84 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: rates in Florida and Texas, fewer regulations, other incentives. Why 85 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: can we have it here? More jobs, more tax revenue, 86 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: a fair tax burden, the uh. But they will keep 87 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: selling you on the Silicon Valley companies doing well. You know, 88 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: the ones who like you go to work at Facebook. 89 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: The average Facebook engineer gets four hundred thousand dollars. I mean, 90 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: what's the median income for regular people here in California 91 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: seventy eighty. But because everything's so lopsided in Silicon Valley 92 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: O the fourth largest economy of the world, We're a 93 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: thriving innovative Oh shut up, that's such a big lie. 94 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: More coming up. You're listening to co Belt on demand 95 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: from KFI AM six forty rough every day from one 96 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: to four o'clock and moistline is eight seven seven moist 97 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: eighty six eight seven seven mois Steady six are usually 98 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. We have a we 99 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: have a number of odd ball stories I want to 100 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: go through. First of all, there is there's video out 101 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: there and we have the audio. An alligator, smallest alligator 102 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: ended up in somebody's pool in Florida, and this really 103 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: happens because we have a place in Florida and. 104 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: Have you done that? 105 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: No? No, no, but there there are. We have seen 106 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: enough video that people in our neighborhood, in our section 107 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: of town have sent because like after hurricanes or a 108 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: couple of years ago that it wasn't a hurricane, but 109 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: well it was a hurricane. It had a couple of 110 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: hurricanes blow through, and then there was also just a 111 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: massive regular storm that dumped like ten inches. And once 112 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: you get outside the city's off the coast, you go 113 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: inland a little and it's all swampland and there's alligators. 114 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: I think there's over a million alligators in Florida, and 115 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: they get washed up into residential areas and they start 116 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: walking around the sidewalks and they walk up the walkways 117 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: right up to your front door. And you got to 118 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: watch it because there's one guy and I saw the 119 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: video of this. I mean, not the moment where the 120 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: bad thing happens, but he heard like a banging outside 121 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: his front door, and he goes looking, here's something in 122 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: the bush and he stuck his hand in the bush, 123 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: and well, I was it for the hand. Alligator did 124 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: the big jump, big jump and had a snack. And 125 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: I think I told you once that when we were 126 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: looking at to buy a house there there was a 127 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: new development and we could build the house anyway we want, right, 128 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: And I'm saying, well, this is pretty good, and she goes. 129 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: My wife says, no, look over there and there's a 130 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: retainer pond with fencing around it. And she goes, there'll 131 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: be alligators in there right across the street. Oh, it 132 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: has a fence. I'm then thrown into the retaining pod. No, 133 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna climb over the fence. No, how could they 134 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: do that. So this is in Florida and somebody's backyard. 135 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: They call Florida deputies. Two of them show up, and 136 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: this is what it sounds like. They try to remove 137 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 1: the alligator from the pool and the alligator gets mad. 138 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: I'm here in your part. You go, wow, obviously you 139 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: up here. They have to take the mouth. 140 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: Show and I'll take them to a pomis. 141 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: Very much. I know you're mad. That's the alligator. Now 142 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: they're carrying it out of the down the driveway and 143 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: they throw it in the backseat of the patrol car 144 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: like a drunken suspect. He buffled him in with the seatbelt. 145 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: That was the best part. 146 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 3: Now this guy is doing the right thing. He is 147 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: taking her. He took the alligator into a pond. 148 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: He didn't kill it, right, he didn't murder it. No, no, 149 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: but he did really use his bare hands to pull 150 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 1: it out of the of the water. And the alligator 151 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: is clearly pissed off. Oh yeah, yeah, he's really angry. 152 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: But they managed to suppress his jaw and tape it. Yeah. 153 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: They just look like masking tape or something. 154 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 2: I love the way he was talking to the. 155 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: I know you're mad. So it gets tossed in the 156 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: back seat and they drive off. Now completely different creature cockroaches. 157 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: This is Air India. They were flying from San Francisco 158 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: to Mumbai and they had to make a stop in 159 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: another Indian city, Kolkata. And when they stopped in Kolkata, 160 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: the passengers said cockroaches cockroaches. Now, Aridi has tried to 161 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: downplay this, saying, well, the passengers were unfortunately bothered by 162 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: the presence of a few small cockroaches, which I thought 163 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: was kind of a condescending statement. Well, they were unfortunately bothered. 164 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: I mean, like, really, are you so sensitive? Yeah? And 165 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: then and they were small cockroaches. Like that makes a difference, 166 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,719 Speaker 1: they say, they said during the scheduled fuel stop, our 167 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: ground staff immediately went for a deep cleaning process to 168 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: eliminate the problem. The incident was unfortunate. Despite our regular 169 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: fumigation efforts, insects can sometimes enter an aircraft during ground operations. 170 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: We're going to be doing a comprehensive investigation to determine 171 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: the source. Why are you going to determine the source? 172 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 3: John, Have you ever told your cockroach story on the 173 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 3: air that you told me off the air? 174 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, back at the beginning of the 175 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: radio career, when I made no money, like one hundred 176 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: and forty a week, one hundred and sixty a week, 177 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: I lived in some disgusting dumps with my roommates, and 178 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: we had a kitchen that nobody went into. We just didn't. 179 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: In fact, after we moved out. It blew up. But 180 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: while we were there one day there were cockroaches and 181 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: there was one, and we devised a plan and I 182 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: had a can of WD forty. My friend had a lighter, 183 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: and I took the WD forty and I sprayed it 184 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: through the flame. We got the cockroach right in the 185 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: rear end. Cockroach went on fire, all right, fully engulfed, terrible, 186 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 1: fully engulfed. Me. Yes, cruel, and we're and you know what, 187 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: we wanted to watch him burn, oh, you know, because 188 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: it's disgusting to have them, and you know, the landlord 189 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna do anything. But so we watched the flame 190 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: and it's burning, and it's burning and burning, and then 191 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: the flame flickers out and the cockroach keeps walking. 192 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: I love that. That is so funny. They are indestructible. 193 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 3: So I'd like to know how they're going to get 194 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 3: rid of those cockroaches on that plane. 195 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: They're not. They're just trying to ward off a lossuit. 196 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: It's say, we did all the right things, you're just 197 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: because you're a little bothered by it. No that that 198 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: I was in awe, you know, I was like, wow, 199 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: all right, you're tough, you win and we're not going 200 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: back in the kitchen ever again. No, in fact, we're 201 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: moving out. No. I would have if I could afford it, 202 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: but you know, you make one sixty a week. That 203 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: doesn't go very far even back then. God, the living conditions, 204 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: that's right, I don't That's why I don't put up 205 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: with anybody's complaints. 206 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 2: You've been through it all. 207 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: I had been through it all. 208 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: I get it. 209 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: But you know, I just got up every day and 210 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: went to work. I don't know what else you're supposed 211 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: to do. Never took a dime of welfare. We applied 212 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: for it once. It's Curl I worked with at one station. 213 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: We thought maybe we could, maybe we could get welfare 214 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: because the pay was so low, and it didn't. 215 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 2: You didn't get it, and we. 216 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: Were just slightly over the threshold. Oh yeah, I think 217 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: that place. I was making one fifty. But we thought 218 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: we were onto something. The system doesn't work for for 219 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: regular people. Okay, more animal news. This is not a 220 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: good story. You're not gonna laugh at this. And uh, 221 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: well this is in Germany, so take that for what 222 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: it's worth. They have something called the Nuremberg Zoo. Eric, 223 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: your eyeser bugging out? I wish I could have taken 224 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: a picture of my face. I saw it in the camera, 225 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: but I wish I could have taken a screenshot of it. 226 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: The Nuremberg Zoo they shot twelve baboons dead to alleviate 227 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: overcrowded You can make up your own jokes. They should 228 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: have sent them to Denmark. 229 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 2: They're too big. 230 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: That's right. In Denmark they were begging for a while 231 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: now except a horse. So twelve baboons and so the 232 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: German zookeepers cut off their heads and cut off their 233 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: legs and started serving it to all the big cats 234 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: right in front of the public. 235 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 2: Oh my god. 236 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: So all the good German mothers and fathers who brought 237 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: their kids in the middle of summer to go to 238 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: the go to the zoo. 239 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: Can you imagine bringing your kids and watching that. 240 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: According to one mother, they were presented on a butcher's bench. 241 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: It was really awful. The zoo says, well, the feeding 242 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: times were posted on signs and you could have avoided them. 243 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: The heads had been removed so the brains could be 244 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: examined for research purposes. Oh nothing changes in Germany, does it? No? No, 245 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: same people. More than three hundred complaints have been lodged. 246 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: They called it a culling, a culling of the baboons 247 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: because they're overcrowded and they can't find a place to 248 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: put them. 249 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 2: I guess how hard do they try. 250 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: I guess there's no adoption market for baboons. They were 251 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: anesthetized and then shot and uh, you know in recent 252 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: weeks protesters had chained themselves to the primate enclosure to 253 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: the baboon cages. 254 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 2: Oh, they'll just be shot at two. 255 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: Actually, don't you don't do that in Germany. Come on, 256 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: you're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI. A 257 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: six coming up in just a few minutes, as we 258 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: get it together. Trump apparently spoke publicly there is some 259 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: kind of federal force that's going to help us out 260 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: with the Olympics, and he announced that today and apparently 261 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: he had some comments about Karen Bass too along the way. 262 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: But it looks like the National Guards coming back to 263 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: town help keep the peace during the Olympics. I just 264 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: enjoy that because it kisses her off so much. That's 265 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: the only time she got animated. I was talking before 266 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: how how angry and animated Newsome is because of the 267 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: redistricting in Texas, and he doesn't get angry and animated 268 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: over anything that's affecting our lives. Same thing with her. 269 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: She only cares about the illegal aliens being deported and ice. 270 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: He doesn't care about our daily hell of a life. 271 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,479 Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that coming up as soon as 272 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: we can get it together. 273 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 2: Ah. 274 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 3: So you know what, John, I wish that Trump said 275 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 3: to Maribas and Governor Newsom, you guys better clean up 276 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 3: Los Angeles or were this. 277 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 2: You're just not gonna have the Olympics. 278 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: I would love if he went on a campaign and 279 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: brought it up every week. 280 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 2: The homeless situation and the crime situation need to be 281 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 2: dealt with. 282 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, just get get rid of all this. Get get 283 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: the criminals off the street, Get the vagrants off the street, 284 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: get them into mental health and drug addiction centers. Now, 285 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: build them, staff them, transport them, deport them, whatever it takes. 286 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: And that's what he that's what he should do. If 287 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 1: if Bass will govern this place and Newsom won't govern 288 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: this place, and they're both distracted by larger issues, then 289 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: maybe Trump ought to step in. I really don't care 290 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: if he declares martial law here. I mean somebody's got 291 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: to do something because this is ridiculous. Here's another example 292 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: in La County over ten million people. This is the 293 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 1: most populated county in the United States. Do you know 294 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: there are many individual states that don't have ten million 295 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: people in population. So this is its own state. It 296 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: has see worth. The budget is for emergency services. I mean, 297 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe this. It's it's fifteen million dollars. 298 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 2: That's it. 299 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: That's it. Fifteen million for emergency services. Gee, what do 300 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: we have here? We have massive firestorms, two of them 301 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: in Outadena in the Palisades. We have major earthquakes when 302 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: they happen, yeah. 303 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 2: Which they will happen probably soon. 304 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. We've got lots of flooding, right every few years, mudslide, 305 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: mud slides, rock slides. Almost had a tsunami the other day, right, 306 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: and of course the earthquakes, which are inevitable, inevitable another 307 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: day closer. 308 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: Yes, could happen now, could happen now? Please? 309 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: Don't? It has to happen. 310 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 2: Though I know, I wish there was a way that 311 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 2: we could solve that. I really do. I wish. 312 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: That's a tall rader. 313 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 2: I mean, I get want we want. 314 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: To stop the Earth's tectonic plates from moving. 315 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 2: No, can't we figure that out? 316 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 3: The scientists creates something so they don't move. 317 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: It's a great idea, but you could work on this. 318 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 2: I don't have a scientific mind. Surprise, surprise. 319 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: That's pretty shocking. Well, the Office of Emergency Management, which 320 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: does exist here in La County. You may not have 321 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: noticed it during the fires, fifteen million, thirty six people, 322 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: and nine of the fifteen million goes to salaries and benefits, 323 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: and they get a few million from federal grants. According 324 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: to one official says, and he's on the inside. LA 325 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: County has no real emergency management budget. And by the way, 326 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: the story is in the Washington Post, not in La paper. 327 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: The Washington Post from three thousand miles away figured out 328 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: that we do not have an emergency management system that's 329 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: worth anything. So there's ten million people. Do you know 330 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: how big the county is in square mileage four thousand 331 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: square miles four thousand. The office's budget is shockingly low 332 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: according to experts like New York City. All right, well, 333 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: actually Manhattan, just take the borough of Manhattan. They have 334 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: eighty eight million, and Manhattan is just twenty four miles 335 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: long and three four miles wide, depending on where you 336 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: are on the island. Cook County, which is where Chicago is, 337 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 1: has one hundred and thirty million. We have fifty and 338 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 1: most of it we blow on salaries. There have been 339 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: seventy four disasters over the last twenty years. According to 340 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: La County. They've declared a disaster area seventy four times. 341 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: The emergency management budget is so low. The truth is 342 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: they cannot prepare for or respond to anything. And now 343 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: they got the Olympics coming, oh right, so what are 344 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: they going to do? And the World Cup. Well, this 345 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: is what I'm saying, is like we need federal intervention. 346 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: I think somehow they should nationalize this city in this county, 347 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: just have the you know, you know, like the federal 348 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: government took it controls Washington, DC. That's what we need 349 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 1: here because the whole city in the county had been abdicated, 350 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: I knew them by Bass by the county supervisors, four 351 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: or five of the county supervisors are complete vegetables, you know, 352 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: just barely functional. They're still trying to investigate what happened 353 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 1: in the fires because if you remember, nobody warned Altadena 354 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: West Althadena that the fires were coming and that's where 355 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: nineteen people died, and they didn't get a warning until 356 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: nine hours later. And some of them never got the warning. 357 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: It never happened, and they haven't explained it. And if 358 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: I remember in the city emergency Emergency Management Department, do 359 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: you remember, they were sending out all kinds of bogus warning. 360 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I got one, Yeah, I got one. 361 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: I remember Eric got one. And none of us were 362 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: in the Palisades and none of us were in Altadena. 363 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: I'd get them driving home from work, buzzer would go off, 364 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: telling me to evacuate. And it was it with some 365 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: kid who because they eventually interviewed this young guy and 366 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: he was he was like crying, what happened to him? 367 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure he still doesn't what happened to him? 368 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: Yeah? What happened to him? You send out not just one, 369 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: but several false alarms, scaring the hell out of people. 370 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: Who knows how many people evacuated. 371 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 3: No one ever talks about Luis Cans anymore. I mean 372 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 3: she still has her job, right or Deanie? 373 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, what did I say, Louise? That's her sister. 374 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: She's not too smart either, Denise. Yeah, how does she 375 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: have a job seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year, 376 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: didn't fill up the reservoir. That's that's not discussed. I 377 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: am shocked. There was just nobody had to pay for this. 378 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: And I think there's a general agreement now that the 379 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: city's response was disastrous and their preparation was more than disastrous. 380 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: And between the two, well you see, you see what's 381 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: going on here. Listen to this. They had in the county, 382 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: they had a notification system called Code red and they 383 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: switched it to one called Genesis. I remember looking up 384 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: on a Genesis website earlier this year when the fires 385 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,959 Speaker 1: were happening, and they switched from one platform to another, 386 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: and both systems should run concurrently for about a year 387 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: so people could get trained and practiced on it. Right 388 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: at the time of the fire. Get this, there were 389 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: only two employees trained to work the new system, which 390 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: is the wireless emergency alerts that appeared on your phone. 391 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: Two people. We have ten million people in the county. 392 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: Two were trained to work a system to warn literally millions. 393 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 1: How crazy is that. So of course those two people, 394 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: because it was you know, overnight, they probably went to bed, 395 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: and so nobody warned the people in west South Dedana 396 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: there was a horrible fire coming and that's why you 397 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: had nineteen people died. Management emergency management system has only 398 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: one trained public information officer. That's the representative that the 399 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: public sees on television and radio and they give out 400 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: all the basic information. Right that's the go to for reporters, 401 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: public information officer. After twenty eighteen, the Woolsey fire, they 402 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: had one of these after action reports and the conclusion 403 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: was the county had to get more power, more coordination, 404 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: and more money to this office of Emergency Management. Well, 405 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: apparently none of that happens. Or coming up, you're listening 406 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six forty 407 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: John Cobelt's show.

Did you have a special teacher in school? 423 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 3: I had, you know what, My broadcast journalism teacher in 424 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 3: college was the one that stood out for me. 425 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,360 Speaker 1: Oh, you're lucky. I had nobody and that was it. 426 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 3: I had nobody in elementary, junior high, not really in 427 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 3: high school. 428 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 2: That's it. 429 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: College, kindergarten through college, I had zero zero. No, I'm sorry, 430 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: nobody inspired me. Well. 431 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 3: My professor in college, he he sadly passed away at 432 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 3: a young age, but he was he was very he 433 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 3: was great, he was very helpful, and he believed in me. 434 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: And it was awesome. Wow, that's wonderful. I'm I'm envious. 435 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: Nobody I spent most of my school years looking out 436 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: the window. After a while, I wanted to. 437 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 2: Jump through the winds. 438 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: That was it was close, that was rough. I was 439 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: in a one I was in a one floor school. 440 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: So he was going to do any good when we 441 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: we come back. After three o'clock, Trump signed an executive 442 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: order a task force to oversee the twenty twenty eight 443 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: Summer Olympics. The members of the task force are mostly 444 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: his cabinet members, so he is going to take the 445 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: administration is going to take direct control over preparing Los 446 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: Angeles to execute the Olympic Games. So this ought to 447 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: be highly entertaining. They've already they've already announced well. Trump 448 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: has said that they're going to take over Washington, d C. 449 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: If that government doesn't get its act together. And he's 450 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: sick of the gang members and the teenage kids. He 451 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: says they're randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting. It isn't 452 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: citizens and knowing that they'll almost immediately be released after 453 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: getting arrested, and so he's told city officials they better 454 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: start charging miners as adults, and if they don't, Trump 455 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: will take over Washington, d C. Which he has the 456 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: power to do because it's not a state, and if 457 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: there's some way that he can take over Los Angeles, 458 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: he'll find it and use the Olympics as an excuse. 459 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: So I am all for this task force. We will 460 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: give you details about the task force coming up after 461 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: Dever's three o'clock news, and we'll also talk more about 462 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: Newsom's new obsession. He's obsessed with Texas redrawing their congressional 463 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: districts and you're thinking, why, how does that affect us? Well, 464 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't. But all the time he should be spent 465 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: on finding all the money that he's wasted, or getting 466 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: the drug addicts and mental patients off the streets, or 467 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: the criminals. He's spending on the Texas redistricting controversy. That's 468 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: what that's the governor you elected. Good choice there, huh 469 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: he is, so all right? I found this entertaining. NASA 470 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: says they are going to build a nuclear reactor on 471 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: the Moon. The Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is announcing expedited plans. 472 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: He's running NASA now as an interim administrator, and they're 473 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: going to put a nuclear reactor in the lunar surface, 474 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: and they're going to have a definite timeline and they 475 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: want to beat the Russians and the Chinese. There, how 476 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: about that. We're going to end up blowing up the 477 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: moon or making the moon radioactive. It'll probably turn green. 478 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: Remember that kid's story, The moon is made of green cheese. 479 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it's going to be. It's going to 480 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: be made green. It's going to be glowing with nuclear energy. Great, 481 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: And of course China and Russia will land their nuclear 482 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: reactors and that will have nuclear war on the moon. 483 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: On the moon, yeah, and then they'll all shoot lasers 484 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: at us. And they they they had a previous plan 485 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: and they want to launch this by twenty thirty, a 486 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: one hundred kilowatt nuclear reactor, and then we own the moon, right, 487 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: first one to get a nuclear reactor wins and bring 488 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: a few nuclear missiles up there while you're at it. 489 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: And then if anybody comes by you just you nuke 490 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: them on the way to the moon. That'll show our dominance. 491 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 2: And when will it percolate down here? 492 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: The radiation? Yeah, I don't know how that works. 493 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 2: I don't either. 494 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: I would I would think it would bounce off the 495 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: app because there's always radiation, you know. 496 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 2: Right, But I mean never, then that would be harmful. 497 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 2: If there's a nuclear war on that, you. 498 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: Know, something would have to go really wrong. 499 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 2: I'm sure it would, but that's it's part of the 500 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 2: thing to worry about. 501 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, well, there you go.
