1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four o'clock. After 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 2: four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app, 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 2: and you get to listen to what you whatever you missed, 6 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 2: all right, you can catch up there after four o'clock 7 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 2: we're gonna start off. And I have not heard this yet. 8 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 2: I read about this, but I haven't heard it. And 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 2: from what I understand, I'm going to take a few 10 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: notes while I'm listening to it. It's only a minute long. 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 2: It's Governor Newsom on a podcast. Remember we went on 12 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 2: that bizarre podcast tour. One of them was with Sean Ryan, 13 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 2: who I think is a figure in conservative circles. Military guy. 14 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 2: If I remember right, I remember we played something from this. 15 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: It was in last July, and yeah, we had a 16 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: couple of clips at the time, but the podcast went 17 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: on for four hours. Now, I'm curious you think there's 18 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: anyone on the planet who listened to four hours of 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom on anything. I mean, I have four consecutive hours, 20 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: not consecutive, but for the show. I've probably got it's cumulative. Yes, yeah, 21 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: I was thinking like in one sitting. Oh yeah, no, no, 22 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 2: no no. So I wonder about the point of four 23 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: hour podcast. 24 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: But that's just me. 25 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 3: Uh. 26 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 2: Newsom appeared on it in July and we played we 27 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: played some clips. He was claiming at the time that 28 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 2: they had pre deployed fire engines for the Palisades fire. 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: That turned out to be a lie. 30 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 2: Well, it looks like somebody's dug up another piece of 31 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: this Sean Ryan podcast, Uh, with Newsom making other claims 32 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 2: that require scrutiny. 33 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: So we're gonna play this here. 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to play it all the way through 35 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 2: and then maybe we'll we'll go piece by piece through this. 36 00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: Go ahead. 37 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 3: Do we have the larger firefighting fleet, area firefighting feet 38 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: in the world my state. I've invested on pressing hundred dollars, 39 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 3: not just in vegetation force management. I'm doubled my state 40 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 3: CalFire budget. I mean, there's no bigger advice. I told 41 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 3: you I put one hundred and ten engines and pre 42 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 3: deployed them. I was on the fire in LA within 43 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 3: hours as governor of a county fire and initiated on 44 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 3: federal property multiple fires that were occurrying at the same time, 45 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 3: most of them on federal property where they initiated, and 46 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 3: we had one hundred mile hour wings attached to fire 47 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 3: or a fire attached on hundred mile hour winds. I 48 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 3: was up there in the hills with these guys and 49 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 3: we all turned around when my hair literally burst on 50 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: there's a video of it. And they threw me in 51 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 3: the car. The guy hits my hair and throws me 52 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 3: in the cars got out of here, and these guys, 53 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 3: there's no hoes in the world attached to a thing 54 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 3: that mattered at that point. It was a life safety 55 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: mission and that was just a few hours in. Those 56 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 3: were sixty seventy mile our gusts before it hit a 57 00:02:59,440 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 3: peak on h. 58 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: Did he actually say that his hair burst on fire? Yes, 59 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: I heard that right, Yes, this hair, his hair burst 60 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: on fire. And and this made no news. He claims 61 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: there's video. 62 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: Of it that somebody had to pat it out. 63 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: Now I can believe that his hair would spontaneously catch fire. 64 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: God knows what combustible chemicals are in it. When he 65 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: slicks it back and sprays it and adds who knows 66 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 2: what kind of elements to it it could create a 67 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: fiery chemical reaction, because that's that's not normal untouched hair, 68 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: uh that you know most of us walk around with. 69 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: Now, I flyt out, don't believe that. I don't believe 70 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: his hair burst on fire. 71 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 2: Did he E didn't say anything at the time that 72 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: because the fire was in January. Obviously this this podcast 73 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: is in July. It's just surface now on social media. 74 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: His hair burst on fire and somebody had to put 75 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: it out, and there's video of it. I don't believe it. 76 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: You don't think he'd lie about something like that. It's 77 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: like it's like politicians who who tell fake war stories? 78 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: How many? 79 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 2: How many people have we uh heard in office and 80 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 2: they claim they you know, they were shot at, They 81 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: were in a helicopter and they were shot at during 82 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: the war. They were making some kind of going on 83 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 2: some kind of political or diplomatic mission and they were 84 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: under fire. Didn't Hillary Clinton say that? If I remember correctly, 85 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: he among all right, So that that's a pending lie. 86 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 2: I can't prove or disprove that right now, but somebody's 87 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 2: gonna find out. I mean, the guy who put out 88 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: the fire on his head, he should be he should 89 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: be going public, right what a hero he is. I mean, 90 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 2: maybe saved Newsman's life, certainly saved his hair, which I think, 91 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 2: which could have been the bigger tragedy. 92 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: Now, he said the fire started on federal property. No 93 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: they did not. 94 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 2: That's been proven. It started on state land. I have 95 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 2: to tell you where my mindset is right now, and 96 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: I've got to, like, I'm trying to discipline my mind 97 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 2: here because I watched two documentaries over the weekend, short 98 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 2: ones on the Palisades fire, one of them done by 99 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 2: a guest we had on Friday specifically about Pacific Palisades, 100 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: and then another one done by someone who's centered on Malibu. 101 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: And I have a few minutes left of that, and 102 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: I want to finish watching that, and then I want 103 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 2: to talk about both at lengths at another time. But 104 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: let me tell you it is clear I did watch 105 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 2: the whole Palisades fire documentary. It is clear that the 106 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: city Los Angeles City and the officials who run the 107 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: fire department chose not to fight the fire and they 108 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 2: let the Palisades burn. That is clear to me. I'll 109 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: get into more of that maybe next segment. But I 110 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: think we've proven beyond a reasonable doubt with the lawsuit 111 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 2: and various investigations that the fire did not start on 112 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 2: federal property. It started on state property. It started on 113 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 2: state property where the brush had not been cleared. One 114 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 2: of these documentaries show the brush and it looks like 115 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: it's ten feet high. That's Newsom's responsibility, but it was 116 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 2: state proper. And I also remember that there were no 117 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 2: state fire trucks, none that went to the paddle states. 118 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: He said pre deployment strategy. What a hes saying one 119 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: hundred and ten fire trucks. That's what he said, right, 120 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: So there weren't one hundred and ten fire trucks. There 121 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: is zero fire trucks pre deployed. It didn't start on 122 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: federal property, It started on state property. And I don't 123 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 2: believe his hair burst on fire. Well, there would have 124 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 2: been an explosion, right, other people would have been hurt. 125 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: The guy who tried to put it out, I mean 126 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: once that thing got going. Yeah, really with he say 127 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 2: it was like, you know, fifty sixty mile an hour 128 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: winds blowing through his hair on fire. I mean, how 129 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: much hairspray do you think is in that you know, 130 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 2: on that halfacan. In addition to all the other gou 131 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 2: that he puts on and then it hardens and it's 132 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: stiff stiff, So if an ember flew on his head, 133 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 2: I could see his head exploding, but then his head 134 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: would have exploded. 135 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: Anyway. 136 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: It's the Sean Ryan Show podcast. Now when we come back. 137 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: Newsom went to Washington last week. He was there Friday, 138 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 2: specifically on Capitol Hill, and he was pounding his fist 139 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 2: for thirty four billion dollars in federal aid for LA 140 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 2: Fire recovery. And nobody would meet him from the administration. Gee, 141 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: why would that be. He met with some congress people, 142 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: but nobody from the Trump administration, FEMA, nothing, Nobody would 143 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 2: talk to him. And he is pissing and moaning all 144 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 2: over the place. He's personally insulted. He feels that the 145 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 2: good people of California have been disrespet acted. And it's 146 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: just fascinating because you know about all the weird, childish 147 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: posts that he and his middle school the middle school 148 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 2: kids who run his communications office, they've been posting, like 149 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 2: all kinds of nonsense and insults at Trump, mocking everything. 150 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 2: It's like, all right, and now you're surprised that nobody 151 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 2: wants to meet with you. Nobody wants to answer your 152 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: phone calls. You're acting like a toddler. The last thing 153 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 2: you do with a toddler is give him attention while 154 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: he's having his little hissy fit. I had three toddlers. 155 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: You know what to do. Let them kick and scream 156 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 2: and cry and make their ruckus, and then when they 157 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 2: exhaust themselves, sit down and try to talk with them reasonably. 158 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: That is standard practice now. 159 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 2: A lot of parents don't do it, which is why 160 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 2: you have so many dysfunctional adults who can't seem to behave. 161 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 2: But you know, if you just waited at out and 162 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 2: let them thrash around and they turn red or purple 163 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: or blue, whatever, it'll Newsom and his staff of middle 164 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 2: schoolers on on X have been going on for months now, 165 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 2: and they're very proud of themselves. 166 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 1: They're very smug. 167 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: And very THEI preeing about their weird posts, which are 168 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: not funny.

Gavin Newsom, 201 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 2: a clipp with him on a podcast from last summer, 202 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 2: has turned up and is making the rounds on social 203 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: media because he claimed that his hair burst on fire 204 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 2: during the Palisades blaze and somebody had to throw them 205 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 2: in a car and pad it out. 206 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: When my hair literally burst on there's a video of it, 207 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 3: and they threw me in the car. 208 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: The guy hits my hair. 209 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 3: And throws me in the cars got out of here. 210 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: Probably broke his hand whacking his hair. He also claimed 211 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 2: that the fire star and federal property. That's a lie. 212 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 2: Also is claiming the pre deployment of one hundred and 213 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: ten fire engines. That is a complete lie. There's zero 214 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 2: In fact. I believe it was the the the documentary 215 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: done by that filmmaker. He grew up in the Palisades. 216 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 2: He went to the East coast and the fire wiped 217 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 2: out his mother's home. And this is the one I 218 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 2: watched in its entirety over the weekend. I think it's 219 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: called Paradise abandoned or Palisades abandoned is the name of it. 220 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 2: And he had a little graphic, well, he was playing 221 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 2: video of the fire officials and politicians beating their chests 222 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 2: about what a wonderful response that they had they were 223 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 2: in the midst of in fighting the fire, and then 224 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 2: he showed a graphic where there were no fire engines 225 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 2: up where the fire was. There was a cluster of 226 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 2: fire engines at will Rogers State Beach where they were 227 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 2: having the press conference. That's where there was a cluster 228 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 2: of fire engines. There was a second cluster of fire 229 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 2: engines in the southwest corner of the city, well away 230 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 2: from the fire action at that time. 231 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: So I've that. 232 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 2: Documentary clearly showed that they were lying in real time 233 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 2: about this fantastic response that they had. And then there 234 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 2: were interviews both in that documentary and the other one 235 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 2: one is called Big Rock Burning and the other ones 236 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: I think Palisade's abandoned. In both documentaries, one of the 237 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 2: themes is residents saying there was nobody here, there was 238 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 2: nobody here, There was nobody here because there was nobody there, 239 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: and I'll tell you my conclusion. And of course I 240 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 2: can't prove all this in a court of law right 241 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 2: at the moment, but I think one day somebody will. 242 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 2: I think they did let it burn. I think they 243 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 2: let it burn. And then all levels of government have 244 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 2: been shoveling lies and propaganda and nonsense at the public 245 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 2: ever since. 246 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: Why they let it burn? I don't know. 247 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 2: A lot of people have theories, some of them dark theories, 248 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 2: and this is what happens when there is a huge 249 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 2: vacuum of information, but very little of what anybody has 250 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: said is true. We've gone through three fire chiefs now 251 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. None of them have told the truth yet, 252 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 2: not the mayor, not the governor. Sporadically in the media, 253 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 2: some truth comes out. The Alley Times has done the 254 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 2: best job. And when the Allay Times is doing the 255 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: best job, you know we're in trouble. So let's get 256 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: to Gavin Newsom. So he goes to Washington to beg 257 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: for thirty four billion dollars and gets he gets everybody 258 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 2: saying no, we don't have any time for this, and 259 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 2: now he's whining and crying like a little. 260 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 5: And that. 261 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: Was him walking out of the FEMA office when nobody 262 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 2: wanted to speak to him. 263 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: I really sad. 264 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: His face was all red and his hair actually look 265 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 2: all messed up. And the thing is, he has not 266 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: spoken much about anything since Danny Williamson, his former chief 267 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 2: of staff, was arrested on federal corruption charges. The LA 268 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 2: Time says he's kept the low profile. Yeah, because he 269 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 2: doesn't want to talk about anything. He must know that 270 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: Trump is gunning for him. I think a big bomb 271 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 2: is going to drop on Newsom's head, and it's going 272 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: to be timed maybe next year, if he's clearly the 273 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 2: leader for the Democratic nomination. Maybe it's after his term 274 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: is up while he's actively campaigning. Because if you see 275 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: a ton of bricks that dropped on Tim Waltz for 276 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: all that Minnesota corruption, that's a billion dollars. Newsom's lost 277 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 2: seventy seventy two billion that he can't account for. 278 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 1: You're telling me there aren't. 279 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 2: Gonna be investigative bombshells on Newsom and the corruption in 280 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 2: his government. This chief of staff has already got nailed. 281 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 2: Rob Bonta had to spend a half million dollars because 282 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: of a connection to another corruption scandal. 283 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: Going on. 284 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 2: So Newsom went to Washington and said he had productive 285 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 2: meetings with leaders on both sides of the aisle. Trump 286 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 2: promised to take care of survivors. Clearly a lie. He 287 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 2: isn't here for the people of Los Angele. It's just 288 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: like he isn't here for everyday Americans. That's not just disrespectful, 289 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 2: it's a disgrace, a disgrace. Newsom said the request to 290 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 2: meet with the f well with the female administrator, Karen Evans. 291 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:58,479 Speaker 2: It was routine, and Department of Homeland Security told Newsom 292 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 2: well Evans was not able to accommodate a meeting, and 293 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 2: the Newsom's team asked for well, you got another date another. 294 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: Time, we'll come back, and there were no. 295 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 2: Alternatives given, not with Karen Evans or with anyone else 296 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 2: in the Trump administration. I'm sorry, we're just not available 297 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 2: to talk to you. Do you need a ride to. 298 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: The airport, I think, is what they said. Well, I don't. 299 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 2: I can't explain this, but, like I said, the imbeciles 300 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 2: on his communications staff have put out so much childish 301 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 2: garbage about Trump. 302 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: It's like, look at that, nobody's. 303 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: Taking your call now, huh hi, Yeah, that's a good 304 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 2: job you've done. Also the compulsive lying. I think what 305 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 2: Trump is eventually going to come back with. It's like, 306 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 2: you got over thirty billion dollars in federal money for 307 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 2: the COVID unemployment and it all disappeared fraudulently. There's twenty 308 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: four billion dollars in homeless money that you admit disappeared. 309 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: You got seventeen billion dollars in high speed rail money, 310 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 2: some of it federal, well, that disappeared too, And you're 311 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 2: spending thirty five billion dollars on illegal aliens. You claim 312 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 2: that you need thirty four billion to help out the 313 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 2: fire victims when you blew thirty five billion dollars on 314 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 2: illegal aliens. As that square, you've blown thirteen billion dollars 315 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 2: on just illegal alien healthcare. So you don't spend the 316 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: money on the American citizens in your state. You spend 317 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 2: it on illegals, and now you want American citizens around 318 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 2: the country to bail out the fire victims. 319 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 1: It's interesting.

They really screwed up 336 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 2: the country. They really screwed up some of the big 337 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 2: cities in this and they really caused a fair number 338 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 2: of people to die and suffer because they let in 339 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 2: millions and millions of the legal aliens. Christer Christopher Flavelle 340 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 2: is the name of the writer. This is very long, 341 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 2: but I highly recommend you read it all the way 342 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 2: if you could get access to the New York Times, 343 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: because this was a front page story. 344 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: I love how they do this well. After the reality happened. 345 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 2: I mean, I saw Fox News covering this story every 346 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 2: single day, because I would drive in to work and 347 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: I'd listen to the audio coverage of the Fox News 348 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 2: channel Build Malusian specifically, and he narrated every day what 349 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 2: was going on at the border, thousands of people storming 350 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 2: over the border from all directions, especially in Texas. And 351 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 2: everybody in the administration line Joe Biden, that weird little troll, 352 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 2: Alejandro Majorcis who is the Department of Homeland Security, Kamala Harris, 353 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 2: that worthless empty can they all lied saying the borders closed, 354 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 2: the border's closed, everything under control? 355 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: No, obviously not so. 356 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 2: Christopher Flavelle interviewed more than thirty Biden administration officials who 357 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 2: worked on immigration and border policy, as well as member 358 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 2: of Congress, members of Congress, state and local officials, lawyers, 359 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 2: and migrants. So they interviewed everybody connected to this. And 360 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 2: when Biden was running for office, he had promised that 361 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 2: he was going to handle the issue differently than Trump, 362 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 2: and his advisors warned him after he got elected that 363 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 2: your approach could be disastrous. That's what they told him. 364 00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 2: Of course, Biden was already half senile and his positions, 365 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 2: according to his own staff, threatened to drastically increase border crossings. 366 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 2: That's what the experts advising his transition team warned warned 367 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 2: them in a zoom meeting. So the experts told his 368 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 2: team in a zoom meeting final weeks of twenty twenty 369 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 2: before he got sworn in, that this is going to 370 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 2: be bad. You could end up with a political crisis. 371 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 2: Chaos is how they described it. They sent a memo. 372 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 2: They all not only did this on a zoom video, 373 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 2: they sent a memo saying, whatever Biden was campaigning on, 374 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 2: whatever you claim you're going to do, don't do it. 375 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 2: This is twenty twenty, so it's five years to the day, 376 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 2: and this group of experts made a list of things. 377 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 2: Here's what you do to deter migrants. Biden said no, 378 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 2: His top aides said no. And as the Times rights, 379 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 2: the warnings came true. 380 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: And then some. 381 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 2: After Biden got sworn in, almost immediately, encounters at the 382 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 2: border doubled and kept going up. You remember, all the 383 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 2: border stations got overwhelmed, then the border towns like al Paso, 384 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 2: and eventually when the Texas governor started busting them out, 385 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 2: they ended up in New York and Denver. So the 386 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 2: Times did an examination of Biden's record and found that 387 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 2: he and his closest advisors repeatedly rejected recommendations that could 388 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 2: have fixed things. His team is the chief of staff, 389 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 2: Ron Klain. In case you wonder, you want to everyonet 390 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 2: names on the boneheads who were advising Biden. 391 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: These are the idiots. 392 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: Mike Donellan, Jennifer O'Malley, Dylan Anita Dunn. These four they 393 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 2: were the most inner circle. Two things they did wrong, 394 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 2: according to the All New York Times, First, they way 395 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 2: underestimated just how many migrants were going to start in 396 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: the border. Secondly, they didn't think a border surge was 397 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 2: going to be important to most voters. Wow, it only 398 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:44,239 Speaker 2: decided the twenty twenty four election. And they thought that 399 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 2: Latinos were going to be on their side to let 400 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 2: in more illegal migrants. Except anybody with a brain would 401 00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 2: immediately know that Hispanic family, the Hispanic workers don't want 402 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 2: their jobs taken away by people who are going to 403 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 2: do it cheaper. They don't want their wages undercut, and 404 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 2: they don't think it's fair that if they migrated legally, 405 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 2: that illegal people should get these privileges why wouldn't they 406 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: ask the more time that immigrants spend in America. Eventually 407 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 2: they adopt what most rational Americans would think. I don't 408 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 2: want to lose my job. I don't want to have 409 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,719 Speaker 2: my wages suppressed because of too much cheap competition. And 410 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 2: I don't think it's fair. That's not a Hispanic point 411 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 2: of view or a white point of view. That's a 412 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 2: normal person point of view. Did they not think the 413 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 2: Hispanic legal migrants were normal? Who wants to lose money? 414 00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 2: Who wants their job taken away? And according to one 415 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 2: administration official named Scott Schutkart, the Biden White House had 416 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 2: no strategy because they had no goal. All they had 417 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 2: was wishing the problem would go away. Wow, I'm stupid. 418 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 2: It is the only word I can think of. Every day, 419 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 2: every day that was covered on Fox News Now. A 420 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 2: lot of the networks ignored it, a lot of the 421 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 2: big newspapers ignored it. But the people figured it out. 422 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 2: And when Greg Abbott sent the buses the Biden administration, 423 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 2: one official said, we knew we lost. It was over, 424 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 2: and the people never cared what was happening. Border towns 425 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 2: in Texas and Arizona and here in California. But when 426 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 2: when the border came to them, they care a lot. 427 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 2: They figured it out fast. That was the best thing 428 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 2: Greg Abbott did. Got more coming up. 429 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 4: You're listening to John co Belts on demand from KFI 430 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 4: Am sixty. 431 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 2: You want to subscribe to our YouTube channel, go to 432 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: YouTube dot com slash at John Cobelt Show YouTube dot 433 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 2: com slash at John co Belt Show.

Okay, uh, now, let me 448 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 2: tell you about this story freaks me out. This is 449 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 2: a true story out of New York Times. There was 450 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 2: a man in Idaho, lives out in a rural area 451 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 2: and he's on his property when a skunk approaches him. 452 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 2: The skunk scratched him on his shin. Now I guess 453 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 2: runs away. Five weeks later, this guy starts hallucinating. Then 454 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 2: he's got trouble walking. Then he's got trouble swallowing. He 455 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 2: had a stiff neck. Two days after the symptoms started, 456 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 2: he collapsed. They thought it was a heart attack, and 457 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 2: he died in the hospital. They donated his organs, including 458 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 2: his left kidney cut, to the state of Michigan, where 459 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 2: a man received the donated kidney. 460 00:29:58,320 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: Five weeks after. 461 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 2: The transplant, he started to experience tremor's weakness, confusion, and 462 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 2: other unpleasant issues. He was hospitalized a week later fever, 463 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 2: couldn't swallow, and had a fear of water. Do you 464 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 2: know what a fear of water indicates? 465 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: I didn't know this. It's a sign of rabies. 466 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 2: It turns out the skunk had rabies, gave the rabies 467 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 2: to the man in Idaho who died, and they donated 468 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 2: his kidney to the man in Michigan. 469 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: He got rabies and he died a week later. They 470 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: don't test for rabies because this almost never happens. 471 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 2: It's only the fourth time in fifty years where an 472 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 2: organ donor passed the rabies virus to a recipient. One doctor, 473 00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 2: Doctor Lara denziger Isakov the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, 474 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 2: said this is an exceptionally rare event. Overall, the risk 475 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 2: is exceptionally small. They reviewed records about the kidney donor. 476 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 2: So the Idaho man's family had told doctors about the 477 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 2: skunk scratch when his organs were donated, and maybe you know, 478 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 2: the world people knew. I think of a skunk walks 479 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 2: up to you, there's something wrong, and where rabbit animals 480 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 2: act weird. But maybe the doctors didn't make that connection here. Well, 481 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 2: they went back and looked at the biopsies of the kidneys, 482 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 2: and they found that the kidneys did test positive for rabies. 483 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 2: This has happened only four other times since nineteen seventy eight. 484 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 2: Four people died of rabies and donated their organs to 485 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 2: thirteen recipients, some of them kidneys, some of them corneous. 486 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 2: Six died seven others did not.
