1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040

Speaker 2: listen to what you missed. Coming up in a few minutes.

10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: The Senate Democrats State Senate voted for that sixty five

11
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: cent gas price increase. Yeah, why yeah, why why would

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: they do that? That low carbon fuel standard. They just said, yes,

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: we agree. The Assembly voted for it yesterday. Talk about

14
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: that in the next segment. Yes, your Democrats that want

15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: to spend another twenty billion dollars on high speed rail.

16
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: This may have been overlooked a bit last hour. We'll

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: getting into it later again. They because Trump is pulling

18
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: four billion dollars in federal funding for high speed rail.

19
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: So the Senate is offering twenty billion dollars, but over

20
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: the next twenty years a billion a year. And Eric

21
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: Sclark just reminded me. That means they know that the

22
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: Baker's Field to a Merceaid segment will not be finished

23
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: for twenty years. This is really really bad. So they

24
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: are going to spend twenty billion more dollars and that's

25
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: only a fraction of what they need on Baker'sfield and Merced.

26
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: In the meantime, they voted for a sixty five cent

27
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: gas tax increase. Okay, onto Alex Stone. Mohammed Solomon. That's

28
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: the name of the guy who fire bombed a group

29
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: of older Jewish people in Boulder, Colorado, and he tried

30
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: to buy a handgun. He was going to make this

31
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: a shooting massacre, but was denied because he's an illegal alien.

32
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: Alex Stone. ABC News has all the details. Alex.

33
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: Hey, there, Johnny, a little bit of breaking news as well.

34
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: In the last couple of minutes, a federal judge has

35
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: said that his family cannot be deported, that they are

36
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: in the country illegally. As well, the Department of Homeland

37
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: Security began moving towards sending them back to Egypt. His

38
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: wife and five children who were in Colorado Springs illegally.

39
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: That the federal judge in a short order saying that they.

40
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: Cannot be deported right now.

41
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 2: So but they're all here on an expired visa, so

42
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: they are. And Christy Nome had been saying, well, here,

43
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: here's what you're saying.

44
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 4: Mohammed's despicable actions will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

45
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: Of the law.

46
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 4: But we're also investigating to what extent his family knew

47
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 4: about the horrific attack, if they had any knowledge of it,

48
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: or if they provided support to it.

49
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: And the White House was saying that they might have

50
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: been deported even last night, that they thought they were

51
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: going to be out of the country. The family filed

52
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: a lawsuit to stop their deportation, and now the federal

53
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: judge in the Tenth Circuit is saying, yep, the government

54
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 2: cannot deport them right now and while they deal with

55
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: the lawsuits, so they will not be deported now. To

56
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: the point you were making a moment ago, So Mohammed

57
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: Solomon has said from the beginning of this, as he's

58
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: been talking to police, that he wanted it to be

59
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: an active shooter scenario, and he tried over and over

60
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: again to get a gun, but he could not buy

61
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: any guns because he is in the country illegally, born

62
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: in Egypt, lived in Kuoit for seventeen years. Came to

63
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: Colorado Springs three years ago with his family. They overstayed

64
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: their visas, and now we know November twenty second of

65
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: last year, he tried to buy a handgun. It was

66
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: at a Colorado Springs sporting goods store. He was denied

67
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: because of an instant background check that was done that

68
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: came up that he was in the country illegally. Now

69
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: that is supposed to then note Ice, because they've got

70
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: a name, they've got an a dress.

71
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: We don't know what happened there. Ice apparently didn't know

72
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: about it.

73
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: Then on December thirtieth, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, they

74
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: turned him down for concealed weapons permit and at that

75
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 2: point he has told police that he pivoted, unable to

76
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: get firearms and made it a fire bombing attack. And

77
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: the US attorney saying this, mister Solomon stated that he

78
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: had been planning this attack for a year and he

79
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 2: acted because he hated what he called the Zionist group,

80
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: and he went to Google to figure out where is

81
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: there a group, a pro Israeli group that he could

82
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: go after. A Zionist group, as he called it and

83
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 2: found Boulder, made the two hour drive. After doing a

84
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 2: lot of research over a year, I went on YouTube

85
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: figure out how to make Molotov cocktails, how to make

86
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 2: the flamethrower that he used, and narrowed in on this

87
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: group in Boulder that marched on Sundays and decided to

88
00:04:58,920 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 2: carry it out.

89
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: Where do they did?

90
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: They say where he made the Molotov cocktail and the flamethrower?

91
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: Did he make all this in his house? He made

92
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: it in his house, but a little bit in his

93
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 2: car as well, because driving up he went to Target

94
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: and bought the containers. Then driving the Boulder it's two

95
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: hour drive Colorado Springs to Boulder, he stopped and bought

96
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: the gasoline for it and then did it in his car.

97
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: But I mean, they're not difficult to make a Molotov cocktail.

98
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: But that his family should have known well, he claims. Yeah,

99
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: He claims his family didn't know a thing, that this

100
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: was all internal, that he became more and more angry,

101
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: and that.

102
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: He didn't let anybody else.

103
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: How if you want, you you've got a wife and kids, right, Yeah,

104
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: If you were gonna build a flamethrower in Molotov cocktails,

105
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: where what room of the house would you do it right?

106
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: So then he probably tested it out at some point,

107
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: you know, in the backyard or did something. I'm guessing

108
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: this stuff takes a long time to put together, and

109
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: you have to do tests right, and then you risk

110
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: blowing up your family.

111
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: Along the way.

112
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, he caught himself on fire when he

113
00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: did it. That's why he took it.

114
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 5: You know.

115
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: He went he dressed up like a gardener so that

116
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 2: nobody would see him as suspicious as he was waiting

117
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: for the group to march toward him, even bought flowers

118
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: attack like he was planting there outside the old County.

119
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 2: And then when he lit the thing on fire, the

120
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: orange vest and the shirt he was wearing. He caught

121
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 2: on fire. We've got video of it. And then he

122
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,119
Speaker 2: his shirt off. That's why he did had no shirt.

123
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: No, I didn't know that. I thought he showed up

124
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: without his shirt.

125
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 2: No, no, he had I didn't know he was vest

126
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: on and then caught himself in the fire. I just

127
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: thought he was so nuts, you know, because a lot

128
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: of crazy people wander around LA and they're not wearing shirts. Yeah. No,

129
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 2: he he wanted to look like a gardener. But when

130
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: he caught that vest On fire, it came off. His

131
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: family must have known, though. There's no way you could

132
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: build a series of Molotov cocktails and a flamethrower and

133
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 2: not have the family get wind of it. Yeah, I mean,

134
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: we don't know that. We haven't heard from them. He

135
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: claims that none of them knew. He waited until his

136
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: eighteen year old daughter graduated from high school. He thought

137
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: he was going to die in this. He has told

138
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 2: police that he was waiting for that so we wouldn't

139
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: die before she got.

140
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: Out of high school.

141
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: So, I mean, he put a lot of thinking into

142
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: a lot of thought into it and deciding when he

143
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: was going to do it, who it was going to be,

144
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: how he was going to do it, but he could

145
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: not get those guns. He's really going to enjoy the

146
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: reception he gets in federal prison now, Yeah, I got

147
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: to understand why he wanted to die, all right, Alex,

148
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: very good, thank you for coming on.

149
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,560

151
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 5: Now we know that he wasn't, you know, strutting his

152
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 5: stuff on purpose.

153
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: I mean, sure there was a reason.

154
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: He's not one of those weirdos he was just a

155
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: mass murderer. No, he's definitely a weirdo, only forty five too.

156
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: He just looked like this chunky old guy, all that

157
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: gray hair, no shirt. What a looney tune when we

158
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: come back. You know, it's impossible to believe. But there

159
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: was a vote to repeal the sixty five cent gas

160
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: tax hike that's coming very soon, and most Democrats voted no, No, repeal,

161
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: let's go through with it. Some of them abstaining. That's

162
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: the new trick for some of these Democrats. They run

163
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: and hide. I guess in the men's room or in

164
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: the in the ladies room are they voting? I can't

165
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,679
Speaker 2: hear Hi, it's come on next.

171
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure this Friday about high speed rail, Trump cut

172
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: off future federal funding. About four billion dollars has been yanked.

173
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: We'll have a lot more on that later in the show.

174
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: We covered it to the whole first hour. So that's

175
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: something you definitely should listen to on the iHeartRadio app.

176
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: John Cobelt's show on demand, the podcast.

177
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: Onto the sixty five cent gas tax increase, which funds

178
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: high speed rail. Ashley's Valla from kcra A Channel three

179
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: up in Sacramento, the only reporter who covers the legislature.

180
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: She sent out a message today that California's gas tax

181
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 2: is going up another two cents a gallon starting July first.

182
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: That is right, every July, every July fourth weekend, the

183
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: gas tax goes up July first, two cents. It's going

184
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 2: to be now just the gas tax. I mean, there's

185
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: probably a dollar fifty dollars sixty worth of taxes. There's

186
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 2: a whole family of taxes, but the main gas tax

187
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: now is sixty one cents a gallon. And she writes

188
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: that the updated low carbon fuel standard may also go

189
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: into effect that month, So a month from now, you'll

190
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: be paying sixty seven cents. These are all estimates. Could

191
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: be worse. Maybe there'll be a couple of pennies better,

192
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: but they could be worse. The uh, the Senate Democrats

193
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: voted for higher gas prices. What I love about it

194
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: seems like with the rise of Karl Demio on the Assembly,

195
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: he has convinced some of the other Republicans now to

196
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: go on offense and through the use of legislative rules,

197
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: force the Democrats to vote on these matters, go public

198
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: with their votes, not hide in the shadows. They do

199
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: benefit because we have such a lazy, lazy, lazy media,

200
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: especially here in Los Angeles. Hardly anybody covers Sacramento. So

201
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: the California Air Resources Board comes up with a sixty

202
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: five cent gas tax and boom, you don't even hear

203
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: about it. No, they don't want to interrupt their I

204
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 2: don't know if you watched the local news lately.

205
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: I have, and what do they even? What do they

206
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: even show anymore? I go to bed early, so I

207
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: watch it every morning. Yeah, what are they doing? Weather recipes?

208
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: No, I mean weather.

209
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: In the morning. I see recipes.

210
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 5: Oh you do, yeah, I see a lot of weather

211
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 5: for traffic, but not too much hard news.

212
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 3: I mean no, that's actually not true.

213
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: Something other than shootings. Let me take your time.

214
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 5: I mean local stuff, but not No, we're not talking

215
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,599
Speaker 5: about the gas I mean now they do talk about No,

216
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 5: do they really talk about the homeless?

217
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 3: Situation.

218
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Not really.

219
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 5: I mean and they also say, you know, they use

220
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 5: the words unhoused unhoused.

221
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Well let me tell you this.

222
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: If they're using words like unhoused, then you have a

223
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: progressive news organization that is not interested in embarrassing the

224
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: democratic regime here in Los Angeles or in Sacramento.

225
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a tip off.

226
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: You don't have to waste your time watching a week's

227
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 2: worth of their broadcasts.

228
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: As soon as you hear unhoused ding ding, Oh, why.

229
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: Is it so bad to stay homeless?

230
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: I had no idea.

231
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 3: I mean, we've always said homeless.

232
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 2: Uh, well, it became stigmatized, so now it's unhoused and

233
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: that's less stigmatized, Which is that's a funny thing. If

234
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 2: you're gonna be laying in the street whacked out on

235
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: drugs or acting like a lunatic, uh, whatever you call

236
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: these people is going to end up getting stigmatized because

237
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: nobody wants to deal with this behavior. It's too scary

238
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: and disgusting.

239
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 3: Are we allowed to say drug addicts.

240
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 5: I'm not saying everybody that's homeless as a drug acct.

241
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that. But is that stigmatized as well.

242
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: A person's experiencing drug addiction. Yes, you have to use

243
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: four or five words. I noticed, and they're always experiencing something.

244
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 2: People experiencing mental illness or a mental illness episode. I

245
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know who comes up with this stuff,

246
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 2: but every single journalist and producer and editor, if they

247
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 2: fall right in line.

248
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: Well, here's the story.

249
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: At a Sacramento Senate Democrats did vote for higher gas prices.

250
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: Brian Jones is the Senate Minority leader, and he forced

251
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: a vote to repeal the sixty five cent gas price hike.

252
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: This comes from the California Air Resources Board, which none

253
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 2: of us elected. In fact, the head of the California

254
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: Air Resources Board, Leanne Randolph, she admitted that when she

255
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: when they impose their policies, they never even investigate what

256
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: it's going to do to the price.

257
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: Here's the exact quote.

258
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: Last week, California Resources Board, the chairwoman, Leanne Randolph admitted,

259
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: the board does not consider how its regulations affect prices

260
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: at the pump. Now, they are almost entirely appointed by

261
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom. So this is Gavin Newsom's sixty five cent

262
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: gas tax increase. And all these people, according to Brian

263
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: Jones are wealthy, all of them handpicked by the governor

264
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: and directed by the governor. And there is no curiosity

265
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: as to how high this will drive the price of gas.

266
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: And this is why USC professor Michael MChE said gas

267
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: prices could be nearly eight to fifty a gallon by

268
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six because you got two refinery shutdowns, you

269
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: have all these extra taxes. Now you're getting hit. You're

270
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: getting hit with two taxes on July. The first, the

271
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: two cent gas excise tax, the sixty five cent California

272
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: Air Resources Board tax. So it's a double tax. It

273
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 2: totals at least sixty seven cents. And it went up

274
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: for a vote and the vote was a yes would

275
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: mean you want to repeal the tax. A no says

276
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: keep the tax. The nose one twenty three to ten

277
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: to keep the tax. Seven senators abstained, afraid, cowards, they

278
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: refuse to vote. And and you know, tomorrow, I think

279
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: we'll spend some time. I see one note vote that

280
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: jumps out at me, the reprehensible Tom Umberg. I thought

281
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: we drove him out of office thirty years ago, and

282
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: he keeps popping back up. The turd that floats to

283
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: the top of the bowl. Tom Umberg out of Orange County,

284
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: I don't know what these people in Orange County. He

285
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: was the first guy we went after when we started

286
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: on the air. Here had to do with the three

287
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: strikes bills that he was undercutting back then, and look

288
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: at this, all these years later, he is now supporting

289
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: a sixty five cent gas tax hike. Tom Umberg in

290
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: Orange County, I don't know what you people are doing there. Well,

291
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: we got a lot of people who voted no. We

292
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: got a lot of people who voted to abstain, and

293
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: we will further publicize them tomorrow, all right, so you

294
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: could put that on your calendar now when we come back.

295
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 2: Speaking of cowardly, Karen Bass was supposed to testify in

296
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: this civil trial. The LA Alliance for Human Rights is

297
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 2: LA citizens and businesses trying to get the city and

298
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: the county and LASA to get the homeless off the

299
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 2: streets an account for the billions of dollars spent. Karen

300
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 2: Bass is afraid of that, and she hired eleven lawyers

301
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 2: to keep her from testifying. Did they succeed, We'll tell you.

302
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: Coming up.

303
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am

304
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:39,639

307
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app

308
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: and first hour we did a thorough presentation on the

309
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: federal government. Trump administration. They pulled the fund for high

310
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: speed rail, the federal funding four billion dollars, take it away.

311
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: We had Tom McClintock on about that, the Congressman. We

312
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 2: also had State Senator Tony Strickland from Huntington Beach on,

313
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: so you can hear that. Our number one on the

314
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: iHeart Radio app. And we've been talking about the cowards,

315
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: the Democratic cowards who we will name tomorrow in the

316
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: in the state Senate, who maybe don't feel too good

317
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: about that sixty five cent gas tax increase that's coming.

318
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 2: Perhaps on July the first. You realize there's two gas

319
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 2: taxes that are coming within what is tay J's June

320
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: the fourth, so we've got twenty six days, twenty seven

321
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: days away from a double tax. If that sixty five

322
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: cent thing kicks in, then we're looking at all about

323
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: five point fifty five sixty a gallon.

324
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how long can this go on? How

325
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: long are you gonna pay this?

326
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: It's all self inflicted by the legislature and Governor Newsom.

327
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: Another coward is Karen Bass. Karen Bass recently blocked an

328
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: audit into her inside Safe scam. That's her claim that

329
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: she's got this program that takes homeless people off the

330
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: street and puts them in old motels and hotels, but

331
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: she's not open to any any inspection of that particular program.

332
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 2: She actually blocked an audit, which means the thing is

333
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 2: failing and they're they're covering it up. The other day,

334
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: one well, one guy who's involved in the local politics said,

335
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: if you do the math, you will see that the

336
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 2: number of homeless that they claim they took off the

337
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 2: streets matches the number of homeless who are dead. So

338
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: that was the credit Karen Bass maybe taking.

339
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: Is that?

340
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, she got she got a couple of thousand off

341
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 2: the street because they died. All right, good going, Karen.

342
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 2: We'll give you full credit for that, for killing those

343
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: two thousand people.

344
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: Excellent.

345
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 2: Matthew Umhoffer is an attorney for the LA Alliance for

346
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: Human Rights. They filed the civil lawsuit in federal court

347
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: saying that billions of dollars have disappeared by the City

348
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: of La, the County of La, and their joint project LASA,

349
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: the LA Housing Authority, and he wants to know where

350
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: the money went. And Bass is so scared. I've actually

351
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: never seen this. She hired eleven lawyers to defend her

352
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: and I'm not making this up. Eleven freaking lawyers just

353
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: to keep her from testifying. Umhoffer had issued a subpoena

354
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: and Bass doesn't want to testify because you're under oath

355
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: in a federal court you.

356
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: Have to tell the truth.

357
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 2: So she's blocking an audit of inside Safe and she

358
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: doesn't want to be questioned by the judge. It was

359
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: Judge David Carter, And if they followed through pushing the subpoena,

360
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: it was going to delay the trial two to three months,

361
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: which is which is why they put up the roadblock.

362
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 2: Bass knew that nobody wanted to wait two or three months.

363
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 2: So finally Umhaffer, LA Alliance for Human Rights agreed to

364
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 2: withdraw the subpoena.

365
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: Isn't it Isn't it terrible?

366
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: And by the way, those eleven attorneys, they're all paid

367
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: with city tax money. That's you if you live in

368
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: the city of Los Angeles. You're paying for the eleven

369
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 2: attorneys who have surrounded Karen Bass to keep her from

370
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: having to testify under oath about her Inside Safe scam.

371
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 2: And she's using her power to block an audit of

372
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: her inside Safe scam. But please go ahead keep voting

373
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 2: for her. Umhaffer, the attorney, says, I think it's cowardly

374
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: for the mayor not to testify. She's coming to court

375
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: on multiple asians and shared talking points, but has never

376
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: undergone across examination. That's the beauty about being a democratic

377
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 2: politician in this state. You never have to answer a

378
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: hostile question because nobody in the lazy ass media goes

379
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 2: after Bass or goes after Newsom. So they live in

380
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: this perpetual bubble where they have sycophants and weirdos that

381
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 2: surround them and agree with them. The En Evangelists is

382
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: an attorney for the city, and she said that Umhaffer's

383
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: allegation of cowardice because Umhoffer said this in front of

384
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:55,719
Speaker 2: the judge's uncalled for look virus Karen Bass and I

385
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 2: thought great things had happened with Inside Safe. I'd be

386
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: sfering hostile questions all day and night, because I would

387
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 2: be able to prove, hey, two and a half years,

388
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 2: billions of dollars of tax money. It's all working out

389
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 2: really well. Really, here are some people we took off

390
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 2: the street who didn't die. Just produce a few of those.

391
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 2: So inside Safe is a bust. And they're going through

392
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 2: all kinds of legal manipulations in order to avoid answering

393
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 2: really any of the charges that this La Alliance for

394
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 2: Human Rights is making. They're claiming that the milestones that

395
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: are supposed to be met and accounted for are not mandatory.

396
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: And besides that we have a state of emergency, so

397
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 2: we don't have to really do anything about the homeless

398
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: situation anything in this agreement. See, they had an original

399
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 2: agreement between the Alliance and the city that a judge

400
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: Brokern way back in twenty twenty two, and they were

401
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: supposed to live up to that agreement to get the

402
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: homeless off the street and account for the money, with

403
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 2: the exception being if there was some kind of city emergency. Well,

404
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 2: Bass declared an emergency after the Palisades fire, and that meant, hey,

405
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: we don't have to provide any evidence that our homeless

406
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 2: policies are working, or that the billions of dollars is

407
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 2: doing any good. Now, of course, the fire in the

408
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: Palisades has nothing to do with the mental patients and

409
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 2: drug addicts who are splayed all over the street. One

410
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: emergency has nothing to do with the other. But when

411
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 2: you hire eleven attorneys, that's what they do is they

412
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,239
Speaker 2: make a connection a state of emergency. We don't have

413
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: to give you any reports, we don't have to meet milestones,

414
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: we don't have to answer questions, and Karen Bass doesn't

415
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: have to have to testify. So f you, there happened

416
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: six days of testimony in this case, and the Alliance's

417
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 2: lawyers have been quoting a consulting firm that found that

418
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 2: these fake homeless programs lack adequate data systems and financial controls,

419
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 2: leaving them vulnerable to fraud. So Bass's homeless programs have

420
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 2: already been looted.

421
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,719
Speaker 1: They're vulnerable to fraud.

422
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 2: Oh, that means people can make up fake nonprofits and

423
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 2: steal your tax money, and you still have homeless people

424
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: dying in the streets. So here's a quote from Monica Rodriguez.

425
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: She's a councilwoman Apparently she and Tracy Park were going

426
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 2: to testify, but the city blocked those subpoenas as well. Rodriguez,

427
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 2: she's up in the San Fernando Valley as a councilwoman.

428
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: Frequently you this is the phrase Merry go round from

429
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: Hell to describe LA struggle to get accurate data from LASA.

430
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 2: Merry go round from hell. That's what criminals do.

431
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: Now. I mentioned this yesterday.

432
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: I grew up in the New York, New Jersey area,

433
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: and the place is rife with mobsters. It was Soprano

434
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: Land every day of the year on the news. I

435
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 2: have never seen eleven attorneys defend anybody for anything. I

436
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: don't think I don't think did Charles Manson have eleven attorneys?

437
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

438
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: No, Ted Bundy, you have eleven attorneys. No, John Gotti,

439
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 2: Karen Bass has eleven attorneys, all paid for by you.

440
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: If you live in Los Angeles.

441
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

442
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 6: six forty.

443
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: John Cobelt Show.

444
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 2: Follow us on social media at John Cobelt Radio at

445
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: John Cobelt that's on social media. We're headed for thirty

446
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 2: thousand followers. Have you ever gone on a double decker airplane.

447
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 3: Yes, I have.

448
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: They're cool, aren't they very cool?

449
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 3: So big?

450
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

451
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: Well, the one time we were on a double decker airplane, though,

452
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: our flight got delayed for three hours because somebody left

453
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: the water running at a coffee station on the top

454
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: deck and the water started leaking into the bottom floor

455
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: where we are and we were flying. It was the

456
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,239
Speaker 2: family trip to go on a safari in Africa, and

457
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: we had to fly to Amsterdam and change planes there,

458
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: and some idiot left the water running, so water came

459
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: cascading and it took them three hours to figure out

460
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 2: to turn off the spigot upstairs. We ended up missing

461
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: our connection, which is all another thing. I'm sure that

462
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: was my only experience I realized having a double decker

463
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: doubles the chances of things going wrong. There's a double

464
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: decker flight British Airways.

465
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: I think that's what.

466
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 2: We took San Francisco to London and in the middle

467
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 2: of the flight they found somebody in the bathroom. They

468
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 2: have a I guess, pretty large bathroom club world cabin bathroom.

469
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 2: I guess that's probably the elite section of the plane. Yeah,

470
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: maybe an extra large bathroom area and they found somebody

471
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 2: who is dancing naked inside the restroom.

472
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 3: Inside. Well how did they find him though?

473
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean he naked and dancing. See, now you thought

474
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: it was a guy right away.

475
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 3: I did.

476
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 1: Wasn't a passenger or was that part of the package

477
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: on the plane.

478
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: In business class they provide you with naked dancers. Yeah, no,

479
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: you're right, it is a guy.

480
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: That's funny. I just assumed it was going to be

481
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: a woman.

482
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: No, I assumed it was a guy.

483
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 2: It was a flight attendant. He was born British Airways

484
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: flight attendant.

485
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 5: Okay, so it's an overnight flight, so he wanted to change, right,

486
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 5: so he took his clothes off and.

487
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: Then and the drugs kicked it.

488
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: Right, the alcohol, and he just started doing a little.

489
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: He had turned the club World bathroom into a one

490
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: man disco.

491
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 3: But did Okay, but.

492
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 5: Don't you lock the door when you're in these restrooms?

493
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 5: I mean, who saw this with their camera?

494
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 2: Somebody walked in on him. I guess maybe he didn't.

495
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 2: He didn't lock the door, he was He was standing

496
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 2: there naked. So they got him out of the bathroom

497
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 2: and they threw some pajamas on him because you know,

498
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 2: in first class. You did free pajamas, so they got

499
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 2: a pair of that, and then they put on restraints

500
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: and they stuck him in a first class seat for

501
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: the rest of the flight. Huge flight, four hundred and

502
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: seventy passengers and crew on board. And when they landed

503
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: in London they took him into custody.

504
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 3: Was he having a meltdown?

505
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: No, No, he was just dancing. I was just you know,

506
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: he's a mile high up in the air, and.

507
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 3: Well, why do they have to put him in restraints? Then,

508
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 3: I mean, well, it.

509
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: Might have been upset that they interrupted his dance, his moment. Yeah, yeah,

510
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 2: that's it. He wasn't finished.

511
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 5: Well, I mean there's always a beginning, a middle, yes, right,

512
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 5: oh yeah, right, okay, okay, someone mixed the sleepy pills

513
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 5: with the happy pills.

514
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

515
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 4: Uh.

516
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: Anyway, coming up now after Deborah's news, Uh, we told

517
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: you about this yesterday. There's a real deadline on this.

518
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: I think June sixth, Yes, June sixth, Friday. The Southern

519
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: California I'm sorry I misspoke there, the South Coast Air

520
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: Quality Management District, you know about the California Air Resources Board.

521
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: We have a local version of these religious fanatics, the

522
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: South Coast Air Quality Management District. They are going to

523
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: be passing a regulation that's going to phase out gas

524
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 2: water heaters and gas space heaters. This would affect millions

525
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 2: of people across southern California. They took a run at

526
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 2: this a while back, and the public screamed at them

527
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 2: and they dropped the idea. Now they have another version

528
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: of the idea that gets you to the same place.

529
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 2: It's going to cost you a lot of money, and

530
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: eventually you will not be able to have a gas

531
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: or a gas space or water heater. All right, So

532
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: we'll talk with Laurie Davies, an assembly woman. She is

533
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: leading a coalition that is opposing this gas appliance ban. Yes,

534
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: these nuts suddenly turned on gas powered not just your car,

535
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: but your appliances. You know, they tried this in Washington

536
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: with Biden, but Trump has busted up that scheme, and

537
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: now we need somebody to bust up the scheme here

538
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: South Coast Air Quality Management District. You've probably never even

539
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: heard of them. Well, they get to rule their life,

540
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 2: rule your life. Debra Mark Live in the KFI twenty
