1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio apps, 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 2: and then after six if you miss stuff, it's John 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 2: Cobelt's show on demand. That's the podcast and it's the 5 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,120 Speaker 2: same as the radio show. And that's how you keep up. 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: Oh well, never a dull day. Huh. 7 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 2: Today's excitement is the news, according to ABC News, that 8 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 2: the FBI warned police departments all over the state that 9 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 2: Iran could be launching drones to attack the West Coast 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: as part of their response to our bombing in Iran. 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: And we are now going to talk with Rich Frankel's 12 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: former special Agent in charge of the FBI, and he's 13 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: going to discuss the details of the intelligence that the 14 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 2: FBI collected, details of the warning, and whether they still 15 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: believe this is something that's real. 16 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: Rich, How are you. 17 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 3: Very good? Yeah, it's I don't know if it's active, 18 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 3: but if the FBI is putting this out, they at 19 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 3: least think it's real enough that they wanted to warn 20 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 3: local law enforcement. 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: So but they first yeah, right, they first taught told 22 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: law enforcement like a couple of weeks ago. 23 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 3: Well, no, it actually came out where they were getting 24 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 3: their own intel. It looks like a couple of weeks 25 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 3: ago and the FBI was working, you know, probably with 26 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 3: our other intel partners to determine if there was a threat. 27 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 3: But for whatever reason, you know, whether it's because they 28 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 3: did a threat evaluation and determined that, you know, they 29 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: needed to put this out today because the threat has 30 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 3: either gotten more more real or that they just have 31 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 3: not been able to put it to bed, and they 32 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 3: had to let law enforcement know because you never want 33 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 3: law enforcement surprised by anything of this type that they 34 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: put it out in this type of uh okay, uh 35 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 3: uh you know, uh data. The one thing I will 36 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 3: say is that you know, they've probably been working this 37 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 3: through the JTTF for the last couple of weeks on 38 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 3: the secret side or you know, uh covertly, and a 39 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,279 Speaker 3: lot of those agencies do work with them through the JTTF, 40 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 3: So it is uh something for them to actually put 41 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 3: it out like this. 42 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: And the JTTF is the Joint Terrorism Task Force. 43 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 3: Yes, sorry about that, Yes, it is. 44 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: Okay, all right. 45 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 2: So they got the intelligence early February, they tell police 46 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 2: departments just a few days ago, and it finally the 47 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: news leaks out today. Did they make an official announcement 48 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 2: today or was this an ABC News exclusive? You you 49 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: guys figured this out and went. 50 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 3: With it, So it appears that, Yeah, it appears that 51 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 3: it was ABC put it out, Uh, based upon you know, 52 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 3: them talking to their sources and getting it you know, 53 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 3: through their through their methods, and then from what I understand, 54 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 3: La Times has also now confirmed it and also put 55 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 3: it out, so it appears to be more Now. 56 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, the La Times has a curious story, and I 57 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: just called it up to see if they're sticking with it. 58 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: They acknowledge, you know, this is true what you've been saying, 59 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 2: but sources told The Times that there's no credible intelligence 60 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: to support it. It was based on intelligence received by 61 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 2: the Coastguard and it's it's cautionary, but it's not deemed 62 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 2: credible at this time, which doesn't mean it isn't true. 63 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: It just means, I guess they can't find enough proof, 64 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: enough corroboration. 65 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 3: Correct. Yeah, if they didn't believe it to be accurate, 66 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,839 Speaker 3: they may have still put it out, but would say 67 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 3: that you know, they've you know, they've done everything and 68 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: it does not appear to be credible. In other words, 69 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 3: it appears to be you know, false information, but they're 70 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 3: putting it out just to make sure that everyone's aware 71 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 3: of the reporting. This seems to be more in the 72 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: in the little area where uh the source, whether it's 73 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: a coast guard or another agency. UH did get information 74 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: that that Iran wanted to commit these acts, these acts 75 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 3: of terror, that they wanted uh to uh launch drones, 76 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 3: whether it's from you know, from the sea or from 77 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 3: the south of our border. But none of none of 78 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 3: you reporting our scene says that they are going to 79 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 3: do it. In other words, that there's an imminent threat 80 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 3: of this. It seems more of a possibility than a probability. 81 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 2: So this would be launched presumably from a ship or 82 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 2: could it be they have sleeper cells and these will 83 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: be launched from inside inside here in Los Angeles. 84 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 3: Perhaps it could be. And that's where I think, Uh again, 85 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 3: you know, we don't have a lot of specificity, So 86 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 3: could be launched from a ship or a boat that 87 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 3: was pre positioned prior to the war. Uh. You know 88 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 3: that they brought these over. You know, the war was 89 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 3: not a surprise. So did Iran send a a ship 90 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 3: or boat that's either in our harbor or off the 91 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 3: coast of California and can want your drone from there. 92 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: Do they have a cell in the you know in 93 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 3: California somewhere that could want to sell I'm sorry, I 94 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 3: want your drone? Or do they have something south of 95 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 3: our border? Because I Ran and his power have been 96 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 3: operational south of our border for years and have been 97 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: a threat from down there, and we've been aware of that, 98 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 3: so you know, it really could come from any of 99 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 3: those three. The other issue is what type of drone. 100 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 3: Would it be the type of type of drone that 101 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 3: you've seen, you know in Iran, you know, attacking Israel 102 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 3: and the you know, the other states over there, or 103 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 3: is it more something that we have here in the 104 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 3: United States, you know, where whether it's your neighbor, a business, 105 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 3: or a you know, local government uses drones for business activities. 106 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 3: Is it more of a drone like that which would 107 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: not carry as large a payload, but it could actually 108 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 3: carry an ied and still be a danger if always 109 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 3: ever launched. 110 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: Right, Or it could be those big drones with the 111 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: red and green lights that you see in the sky. 112 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 3: Exactly the ones that uh, you know, uh, the Intel 113 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 3: agencies have used or other government agencies use for for 114 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 3: various uh you know type of work that they do. Uh. 115 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 3: And again you could put some type of I D 116 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 3: on there, and I think the the issue is almost 117 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 3: not that uh people would be injured. It would be 118 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: the actual act of a drone coming into the United 119 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 3: States and actually exploding some type of device that that 120 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 3: I think would be in of itself, you know, uh 121 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: you know, uh, something that we've never had. 122 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 2: And it's very difficult to track uh these these drones 123 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 2: or where they're being launched from, or their locations or 124 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: even a ship that's parked in harbor. I mean, is 125 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: is it nearly impossible to know for sure where these 126 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: might be and this could just happen in the blink 127 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: of an eye. 128 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, the the there is so law enforcement, and I 129 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 3: think this is maybe one of the reasons why I 130 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 3: did go out to law enforcement, the JTTF, DHS. I'm 131 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 3: sure they're now working their sources, working their technical resources 132 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 3: to identify any uh boats, ships in the harbor that 133 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 3: might be suspicious, and using their resources to see if 134 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 3: there is any threat there. And I know that the 135 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 3: US government, through an inter an interagency, has a very 136 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 3: active anti drone program right now. Uh, they've used it 137 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 3: at sporting events and other types of events throughout the 138 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: United States. Uh and and they are getting better, but 139 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 3: but it's not perfect and there is still a lot 140 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 3: of work to be done on that side of the house. 141 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: I imagine there's a lot of anti terrorism security that's 142 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: going to be here in Los Angeles because of the oscars. 143 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, during during the oscars. It's it's in fact, 144 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: I lead. It might even be classified as a national event, 145 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 3: you know, such as the you know, the Olympics, you know, 146 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 3: the super Bowl. You know, the super Bowl is exactly 147 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 3: it's gonna be one of those type of events. So 148 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 3: you will have uh DHS taking the lead, possibly through 149 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 3: the Secret Service, where they will uh man a you know, 150 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 3: not only the command post, but they'll have all different 151 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 3: resources out there to identify, uh, you know, any type 152 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 3: of threat where radiological, biological, ied, road wolves. You know, 153 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 3: they'll they'll have all the resources out there to do 154 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 3: what they can to protect uh, not only the oscars, 155 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 3: but anything associated or around the oscars. Because you know, 156 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 3: you can always target an event, but a lot of 157 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 3: the time you may want to even target the secondary 158 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 3: events surrounding it. But usually when when they classify this 159 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 3: as a national event.

The government 178 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,599 Speaker 2: got the information a few weeks ago in early February, 179 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 2: and then they decided to share it. Depending on what 180 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 2: story you read, there's conflicting terminology used whether the information 181 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 2: is credible or not. But there is information that the 182 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 2: intelligence source is picked up. Whether they it's real or not, 183 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 2: they don't know for sure. I mean, there's no specific 184 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 2: intelligence that says, hey, it's gonna happen at three o'clock, 185 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 2: you know on Friday on Pikle Boulevard. There's no such thing. 186 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: We do have the oscars obviously coming up this weekend. 187 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: I was in Hollywood last night and I saw a 188 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 2: lot of the fencing up and the road closures and 189 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of security and police walking around, 190 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 2: and you can't help but think it's like, yeah, the war. 191 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 2: In the back of your mind, it's like wow, Yeah, 192 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 2: that looked real to me, that this place could be 193 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: a target. 194 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it is. 195 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 2: I'm just saying that's the little thut bubble in my 196 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: head as I was walking around in Hollywood last night 197 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 2: for a short time. And we are an idiot of 198 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 2: a governor. You Havevin Newsom, He's going through in every 199 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: interview blaming Trump. Kevin Newsom has no idea what the 200 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 2: iron threat is. I'm going to go with they were 201 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 2: developing a nuclear weapon and they wanted to use it. 202 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 2: That's why Trump did what he could to wipe out 203 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: that facility last summer, and they have been trying to 204 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: get the Iranians to back off all their nuclear possibilities, 205 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 2: to stop all production of nuclear weapons and uranium, the 206 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 2: whole bit, and they won't. And the reason they won't 207 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 2: is because they do want to have nuclear weapons and 208 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: they want to use them. That's good enough for me 209 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 2: if it seems like the number one reason we're there 210 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: and we should be there, is to destroy that government 211 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 2: since they can't take a hint and shut down their 212 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: nuclear program, and for all they don't get one. They're 213 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 2: too crazy. It's not fair, Fine, not fair. 214 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: You're the one. 215 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 2: They've been screaming death to America for forty seven years. 216 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 2: And I see this little toddler Newsom blaming Trump for 217 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: the war. God God help us if Newsom was in 218 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: charge of our fallen foreign policy. This is what you 219 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 2: do when you have a When you have a regime 220 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: that yells death to America for almost fifty years and 221 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 2: is financed all the horrible terrorism they financed around the world. 222 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: They are the number one purveyor of terrorism in the 223 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: world for almost a half a century. Good enough reason 224 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 2: to just bomb the crap out of them until they 225 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 2: surrender unconditional surrender. Yes, that's exactly enough of these people. 226 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 2: It should have been done ten years ago, this should 227 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 2: have been done fifty years ago. Never should have put 228 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: up with this stuff. And of course they're going to 229 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 2: try some kind of retaliation, but they want to go 230 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: get a nuclear weapon. So whatever we have to do, 231 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: we have to do. And I think that's what an 232 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 2: adult would understand. Upson's not an adult. And oh and 233 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 2: by the way, the reason we could have this drone 234 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: danger is because god knows how many Iranian terrorists are 235 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 2: in California. I mean, we let ten million people over 236 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 2: the border during the Biden years, right, ten million people. 237 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: I think there's a few terrorists in there. 238 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 2: I think there's a chance some of them came to 239 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 2: California because the terrorists would get free healthcare here in California. 240 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: Remember they get free medical in addition to many other benefits. 241 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 2: But why not if you're a terrorist, once you've gone 242 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 2: through the wide open border, make your way to Los Angeles, 243 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 2: blend in and you know, in case you maybe in 244 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: case you're making an ied and it goes off and 245 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: blows your arm, blows. 246 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: Your arm away, well at least you'll get. 247 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: The California attack payers to pay for your medical bills 248 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 2: through the free medical I mean, this guy is issuing criticism. 249 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: This guy issued an invitation to all the illegal aliens, 250 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 2: and this guy is willing to pay the medical bills 251 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: for these illegal alien terrorists, these Iranian terrorists. Let's play 252 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 2: cut six. Here's his response to his San Francisco Chronicle 253 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 2: reporter Sophia balalayk this. 254 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 5: Relates to the broaduct concern as it relates to drone strikes. 255 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 5: We're you know, we've been aware of that information.

And 260 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 5: we're aware of that which has been reported I think 261 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 5: by ABC seven. We're aware of that information and we 262 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 5: transfer that information. 263 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: All right, You've got nothing. 264 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: Yes, you're going to transfer information right because because the 265 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 2: new iatola is going to call Gavin Newsom and let 266 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: him know if his terrorists are in town ready to 267 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 2: blow up the oscars.

There's a 293 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 2: business entrepreneur, Adam Miller from the West Side, He's at 294 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 2: four percent, and then another communist, Ray Huang, a woman 295 00:16:54,640 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 2: at three percent, and Spencer Pratt is looks like is 296 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 2: going to be the only way out of this.

I gotta get that story for later. 329 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 2: In downtown, all the criminals and lunatics piled into a 330 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 2: high end apartment building not far from the Crypto Arena 331 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 2: that was supposed to be a really nice neighborhood where 332 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 2: people with a little bit of money could enjoy these 333 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 2: luxury apartments. 334 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: And here comes what. 335 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 2: Like all the sewage of the city starts spilling in, 336 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 2: and they're riding inside the apartment apartment building. Enough of this, 337 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 2: enough the chaos. She has no idea what she's doing. 338 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about her politics or it 339 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. She's incompetent, she's overwhelmed. She's a ridiculous figure. 340 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 2: She's an absolutely ridiculous figure. So Spencer Pratt, I'm there, 341 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 2: let's go, because we aren't going to go with the 342 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 2: communist Ny Ramen or the other communist Ray Hung. And 343 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: you know, i'd listen to Adam Miller, But does he 344 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 2: have any money to run? Is anybody ever going to 345 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 2: know who he is? 346 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:09,479 Speaker 1: I don't know. 347 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 2: I've never heard him speak. We got we got two 348 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 2: and a half months. Everything I've heard just about everything. 349 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 2: I've heard Spencer Pratt say he's been right, And actually 350 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 2: I don't carry I don't even care if he doesn't 351 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 2: have experience. Look at what experience has got us. Experience 352 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 2: got us a lot of carry bass and a lot 353 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 2: of avenues. 354 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: It's whether you have a brain or not. 355 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 2: It's whether you can it's whether when you know what, 356 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 2: you can identify what obviously needs to be done to 357 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 2: have a civilized society. And you need a funded fire 358 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 2: department and a funded police department, and you need, when 359 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 2: you have these high wind and high fire warnings, to 360 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: be on that case with a meeting every hour. And 361 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 2: after the first fire, she should have said, Hey, we're 362 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: gonna have some fire crews up there. 363 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: It's getting it's good. They're gonna be up there. 364 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 2: They're gonna be up there for the whole week or 365 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 2: ten days, however long these winds blow. That's what she 366 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 2: should have done instead of drinking in Gotta. For God's sakes, 367 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 2: she's knocking back cocktails in Gotta while the whole palisades 368 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 2: burn and it's got the nerve to run for reelection. 369 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 2: Good lord, this is insanity. So Spencer Pratt is right 370 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 2: on with all the stuff. He says, not see anybody else. 371 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: But you can't. 372 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 2: You can't bring caring bass back. I'm the Olympics coming here. 373 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 2: I mean, I was at the airport the other day twice. 374 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 2: That's that's a disaster. That that the stupid people mover 375 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 2: is stock. It's built, it's on a track, and it 376 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 2: sits there. I saw it just since doesn't move. 377 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 3: Howk up? 378 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: All the other people movers at all the other airports 379 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 2: I've been to, they move, They go up and down 380 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 2: and up and down every ten minutes, taking people from 381 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 2: parking garages and the rental car centers and the hotels 382 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: and back. 383 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 3: I I. 384 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: You know this has got to end. This got end. 385 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 2: No more Newsome, no more Bass New Era. All right, 386 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 2: we gotta take a break.

We're on every day from three 395 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 2: until six and then after six o'clock. You missed it anything, well, 396 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 2: that's what the podcast is for. John cobelt Show on demand, 397 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 2: same as the radio show. We have the most expensive 398 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 2: gasoline again in California, like we always do, and the 399 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 2: price went up again today. It's much higher than the 400 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 2: rest of the country and we're going to talk with 401 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: Alex Stone from ABC News to see exactly how much 402 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 2: right now? 403 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: How are you, Alex well doing well? 404 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 6: Minus Well, we're all paying for gas, those of us 405 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 6: who are putting gas in our tanks, and you look 406 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 6: at what the rest of the country is paying and 407 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 6: when we're paying, and it just doesn't seem fair. And 408 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 6: it never has seen that way, but you look at 409 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 6: times like this and it's a big difference. The average 410 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 6: price right now nationwide, is it three fifty nine a gallon? 411 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 6: Can you imagine if we were paying three fifty nine 412 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 6: a gallon, it would be amazing. That would be a 413 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 6: good day. And it's it's not that even when times 414 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 6: are good and prices are low, but prices have been 415 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 6: going up in some cases by the hour since the 416 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 6: fighting in era, and of course in California we've got 417 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 6: all the other aspects on it of taxes and road 418 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 6: improvement things and all of that. But oil did retreat 419 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 6: a bit, John the eighty six dollars right around eighty 420 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 6: six dollars a barrel, So at least for now, it 421 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 6: seems like that we maybe had a bit of a 422 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 6: plateau for a while. They'll probably end up a little 423 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 6: bit more catching up to where oil is stabilizing, but 424 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 6: it was off over. 425 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: One hundred and ten a few days ago. 426 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 6: That's right, and now prices aren't likely going to go 427 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 6: down anytime soon. They'll hopefully be evening out. I'm just 428 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 6: looking at what gas Buddy is saying right now the 429 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 6: average prices, So San Francisco, the average price is five 430 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 6: dollars sixty cents a gallon LA five thirty six as 431 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 6: of today San Diego five thirty four. And yeah, of 432 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 6: course you've always got the bonkers ones like the one 433 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 6: downtown and the one in Beverly Hills that are like 434 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 6: eight or nine dollars a gallon. But today the emergency 435 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 6: oil reserves are now being released to try to ease 436 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 6: this a bit. The last time that the International Energy 437 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 6: Agency released the emergency stockpile was in twenty twenty two 438 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 6: after Russia went into Ukraine and so thirty two countries. 439 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 6: They're going to release the largest amount of oil out 440 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 6: of the reserves ever in history. And the President said 441 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 6: that he thinks prices are going to begin going down, 442 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 6: but the head of the International Energy Agency said that 443 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 6: they're hoping that this is going to have that effect. 444 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 6: But still we're up over fifty cents a gallon in 445 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 6: just the past week, and they've been going up every day. 446 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I heard that. Well, it's a lot 447 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 2: of oil. It's a big number that they're releasing in 448 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 2: terms of barrels, it's about four days worth of oil 449 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 2: that the world consumes. 450 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, that's typically how it goes. It always makes 451 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 6: big headlines whenever the oil reserves are released, and then 452 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,239 Speaker 6: you say, well, it's really not that much oil. It 453 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 6: may have a slight impact, and it sounds like, at 454 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 6: least politically. 455 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: It'll get us to Sunday. That's about it. 456 00:25:59,680 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 457 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, it doesn't do a lot of good past that point. 458 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 6: The other thing is we did see oil prices plummet 459 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 6: yesterday when the Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, he went on 460 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 6: social media and or at least now they're blaming a 461 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 6: staffer for it, but on social media on his account 462 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 6: that saying that the US Navy had successfully escorted a 463 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 6: tanker through the Straight of hor Moves but that didn't happen. 464 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 6: The White House had to come out and say that 465 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 6: that was wrong. They blamed a staffer for putting that up. 466 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 6: They deleted the post and then the oil prices came 467 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 6: back up a bit, So it just shows you a 468 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 6: volatile everything is. All it takes is one message on 469 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 6: X and all of a sudden, prices plummet. 470 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 2: One idiot in the office posts a false story and 471 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 2: the world oil prices go up. 472 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 6: Absolutely we're down in this case because the thinking was 473 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 6: that a vessel had gotten through the Straight of hor 474 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 6: Moves and that we were getting oil flowing again, where 475 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 6: twenty percent of the world's oil comes through there, and 476 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 6: then all of a sudden, the oil prices globally taken 477 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 6: O's dive and since then they've gone back up. And 478 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 6: that's look at the straight over moves that we have 479 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 6: not been able to get anybody through there, that the 480 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 6: Navy has not done that. The President has said that 481 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 6: that the ships need to go through on their own 482 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 6: and be tough and get through there. But there were 483 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 6: two ships today that they reported being attacked trying to 484 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 6: go through. There are the reports that Iron is laying 485 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 6: minds through there.
