1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app on the radio from 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: mo un till four after four o'clock John Cobelt on demand. 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: That's the podcast on the iHeart app as well. We 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: are going to be giving away one thousand dollars every hour. 6 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: In fact, that's going to come up in fifteen minutes. 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: And we've got two rounds of the moistline, do we not. 8 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: We've got two rounds of the Moistline in the three 9 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: o'clock hour, among a lot of things. What's the status 10 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: Why the four or five North is now open on 11 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: the out side. 12 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's open. It was closed as you know four 13 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 2: hours a person was shot in his car on the 14 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: four h five. That person was taking the hospital. No 15 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 2: arrests have been made, so the. 16 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: Guy's not dead. No, And this happened at five in 17 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: the morning, correct, all right? See, I'm really confused because 18 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: usually they'll close a freeway for seven or eight hours 19 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: when there's a dead body and there's going to be 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: a criminal case, and then they've got to do all 21 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: these measurements and find the bullets and the cartridges and 22 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: this and that. But if it's if it's if there's 23 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: nobody dead, what the hell. Just tow the car off 24 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: the road. They shut it down from five in the 25 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: morning and I was trying to get through it about 26 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: noon and I had to pull off the road and 27 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: go zigzagging through the hills of Sherman. 28 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: Oaks together just missed the opening. 29 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: Of course I did. That's my perfect timing in life. 30 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: So they don't know what this was about. 31 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 2: Nope, not yet. 32 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: They just found a guy in the car. Yes, he'd 33 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: hit the divider. 34 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: Yes, and there's bullet holes. The car is wriddled with 35 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 2: bullet holes. 36 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: That's life in Los Angeles. Huh. I just don't get. 37 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: I don't get closing the freeway gain because I saw 38 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: a photo and the car was way over next to 39 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: the divider, so there was plenty of room to get 40 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: around the car. I don't see why they had to close. 41 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: It's like four or five lanes on that stretch. It's 42 00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: near Burbank Boulevard. 43 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: You should get a police officer on and explain why 44 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: they had to close the lanes or the freeway for 45 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: so long. That's a really good question, you know what. 46 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: We ought to do that because especially in this particular case, 47 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: it just it just baffles me why you would do that, 48 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: because it caused a big traffic backup, and basically you 49 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: couldn't use the four or five going north all morning, right, 50 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: And so I when I got off, I got off 51 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: score Ball Center and there's just dozens of cars backed 52 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: up at traffic lights. And then I made a left 53 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: turn and went down the hill into Sherman Oaks and 54 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: there are cars roaming aimlessly through all the neighborhoods. Everybody's 55 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: trying to follow the ways app. My ways app is 56 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: beeping at me every time I make a turn, trying 57 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: to get the other all alternates, because the alternates were 58 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: all blacked. 59 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,839 Speaker 2: Why of course everybody's going the same way. 60 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 3: It was. 61 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: Kept looking and it kept telling me to go in 62 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: a different direction. 63 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: And traffic is so bad in LA that we don't 64 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: need we don't need things like this to be closed 65 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: any longer than necessary. 66 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: If I had the time and the money, I would 67 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: get a referendum on the ballot that says whenever there's 68 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: some kind of incident on the freeway, the police have 69 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: thirty minutes to clear it out. I don't care how 70 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: many dead bodies you have, you know, just get just 71 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: get a bulldozer and just sweep everybody off to the 72 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: side and sort it out over there. That sounds a 73 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: it would be mandatory, be there'd be a penalties. 74 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: So half an hour is what do you think how 75 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: long did. 76 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: It take to toe a car, even if the bodies 77 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: are in the car, toe the car with the bodies 78 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: in it and then sort things out in the side 79 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: of the road. 80 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 2: I would say maybe an hour an hour because they 81 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: do have to do an investigation, right. You do have 82 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: to question people, you have to mark things off, you've 83 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: got to collect evidence. I think it does take a 84 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: little longer, but not hours and hours and hours. I mean, look, 85 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: Caltrans closes lanes on during my morning commute to do 86 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: god knows what. And I sit there and I passed it, 87 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: and I've sat on the freeway front an hour and 88 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: I look and I don't even know what they're doing. 89 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: It's just there's there's cones, and it's there's no accident. 90 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: And I sit there and I say, wait, there's what. 91 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: There's coffee cups. I see lots of coffee cups. 92 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: Don't mess with our commute in LA It's bad enough. 93 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: I see guys at Parker is standing around in the 94 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: semi circle. Yeah, I'm sure they're having a grand strategy beating. 95 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 2: They don't care about it. 96 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: No, they don't. Sometimes I honk a them, Oh you do. Yeah, 97 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: See that's where I get aggressive. I don't actually get 98 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,559 Speaker 1: aggressive if somebody cuts me off on the freeway, because 99 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: I figure they have a gun and they'll shoot me 100 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: right right. I know these these workers in their bright 101 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: orange vest, they don't. 102 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: Have a gun, So you just shoot, I mean shoot you. 103 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: If they close three lanes and I see if they're working, 104 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: and I could tell that that something important that they're doing, right, 105 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: they're digging up roadway, I'll give them a pass. But 106 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: if they're just standing around drinking coffee. 107 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: Just I glare at them. I don't honk at that. 108 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: I give them the big honk and I swaved my 109 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: arm like get the work, let's get going here. You're 110 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: on the clock. Yeah all right, So well eventually, oh 111 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: maybe not. You know a lot of times these days 112 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: now with the news departments, nobody ends up explaining anything. 113 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: So I'll dig into that.

It's like, 133 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: oh my god, he's going to scare children. So I 134 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: figured I got a nice little safe radio thing.

That's nice. 142 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: I didn't say that you look bad. I just said 143 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: because you're being videotaped all the time and you're on camera, 144 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: you know, you may want to keep that in mind. 145 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get a makeup artist and a 146 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: hair stylist and a fashion consult right.

Coming 148 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: up at two o'clock, we're going to talk with Susan Shelley. 149 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: I just found out about this earlier this morning. There's 150 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: they're trying Howard Jarvis tax paper. People are behind this 151 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: and they've got a referendum. They wanted a ballot called 152 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: repeal the Death Tax Act. And this has a dirty history. 153 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty six, they passed a law because people 154 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: were upset to discover that state law at the time 155 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: treated death and inheritance as a change of ownership under 156 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: Prop thirteen. In other words, you know how Prop thirteen works, 157 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: especially if you own a home, you move into a house. 158 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: Let's say you moved into it in nineteen ninety five. 159 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: Now Here in twenty twenty four, you're still paying the 160 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: tax rate or the tax base from nineteen ninety five, 161 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: you know, and they add a little bit more every year, 162 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: but that is the base of it. You sell your 163 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: house here in twenty twenty four, the next guy who 164 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: buys it, he's paying it a twenty twenty four valuation. 165 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: You're paying at the nineteen ninety five valuation plus the 166 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: incremental increases. So that was passed in nineteen seventy eight, 167 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: and people realized that when they died and their kids 168 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: inherited the house, the kids were going to pay at 169 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: the current market value of the house, that their tax 170 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: would be based on the current value. It wouldn't be 171 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: they would not inherent that they would not inherit the 172 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: property tax break. And so in eighty six they closed 173 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: that loophole and it stayed that way, and then in 174 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. In twenty twenty is going to go down 175 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: in history is one of the worst years for a 176 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: lot of reasons. But the bastards got Prop nineteen on 177 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: the ballot. And I don't know if you remember this, 178 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: but it was heavily advertised. Why because it was sold 179 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: as a way to provide wildfire victims and seniors who 180 00:08:53,200 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: wanted a do home a special break. This is money 181 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: that was going to be wildfire victims and seniors. They 182 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: were going to get a special property tax break, but 183 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: they put in the fine print a provision that went 184 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: back to the old system where I die, my kids 185 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: inherited the house. Suddenly they have to pay the current 186 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: property tax rate, not the one from the year when 187 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: I bought the house. It was hardly ever publicized. The 188 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: television commercials were completely misleading. People thought they were helping 189 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: out wildfire victims and seniors. Actually they were screwing every 190 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: homeowner whose kids were going to inherit the house. That's 191 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: what really happened, and it was infuriating. We told you 192 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: about it at the time, but nobody pays attention. So anyway, 193 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: we're going to talk with Susan Shelley about this because 194 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: they're close to getting this on the ballot, and this 195 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: is something this is one that you should vote for 196 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: because we want to reveal the tax, because that's what 197 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: this is, is the death tax. All right, when we come back, Oh, 198 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: I have a lot of airline news to scare devor with. 199 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: None of it's good. Some of this has fallout from 200 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: the Alaska Airlines. 201 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,599 Speaker 2: You know what, you're going to make me decide that 202 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: I'm never going to go on a plane again. 203 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: Huh, I'm getting close. Well, that's that's the plane. 204 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A 205 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 3: M six forty. 206 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: So there's there's a lot of that. That blow out 207 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: of the door plug in the Alaska Airlines flight in 208 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: the past week has really shook up the airline industry 209 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: because it it's one of those strange things that nobody 210 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: saw coming, hadn't happened before. It was a brand new plane, 211 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: just certified in November, just came out of the factory. 212 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: And if you remember, the details of this are really 213 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: import It wasn't a door, it's where a door can go. 214 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 1: And Alaska decided to have a certain configuration of passenger 215 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: seats where they didn't need a door in that spot 216 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: wrote twenty six and it wasn't required. So in that case, 217 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: Boeing the manufacturer, puts in a door plug, and the 218 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: door plug blew out and there was a huge pressurization problem. 219 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: And you've probably heard a lot about this, but we 220 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: finally have a guy who was seated behind the hole 221 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: of the flight, which was going to Ontario, and KTLA 222 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: five reporter Chris Wolfe talked to the guy seated behind 223 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: the hole. 224 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 4: Terror at sixteen thousand feet caught on cell phone video. 225 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 4: KTLA five News has obtained the footage captured by a 226 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 4: man seated in the middle seat directly behind the part 227 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 4: of the Alaska Airlines Boeing seven thirty seven Max nine 228 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 4: aircraft that failed non route from Portland, Oregon to Ontario, California, 229 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 4: on Friday, January fifth. A section of the fuselage near 230 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 4: the back of the plane, described as a door plug 231 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 4: in rogue twenty six, broke away, leading to an explosive decompression, 232 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 4: in other words, a gaping hole and suction of freezing air. 233 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: Miraculously, no one. 234 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 4: Was in the two seats closest to that window. We 235 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 4: Tran as the passenger recording the minutes that felt like hours. 236 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 5: I opened my eyes to a giant hole in the plane, 237 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 5: and I could see the city lights and same thing. 238 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 5: The very first few seconds was just pure of shock 239 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 5: and confusion. Is this really happening? 240 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 4: The man sitting next to him in the window seat, 241 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 4: as his friend Quong Tran, the blowout immediately pulled his 242 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 4: cell phone, socks, and shoes into the dark night time. 243 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 4: Sky lifted his body above his seat and began to 244 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 4: suck out his legs. 245 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 3: I was like, what the heck is going on? 246 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 5: My mind was just like, oh, the place the kid 247 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 5: I saw happy with his body was getting suck out 248 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 5: the airplane too, and his clothing and everything else. And 249 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 5: then I was like, oh my. 250 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: God, everyone survived. 251 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 4: Following an emergency landing back in Portland, Quong explains he 252 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 4: suffered bruises, contusions, and a sprained ankle. 253 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 5: And we couldn't even talk to each other, Like me 254 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 5: and Cohen were face to face to each other, and 255 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 5: we couldn't hear each other at all because it was 256 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 5: so loud. 257 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 4: Their friend Tramvo was seated in rogue twelve with her family. 258 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 4: They heard a blast, felt the rush of cold air 259 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 4: through the cabin, but had no idea what was happening. 260 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 2: I was so scared to look around, and at the 261 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 2: time we could still hear the wind coming from the 262 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: back of the plane. 263 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: I didn't even know what was happening until I, just 264 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: like my mom, showed me a picture of what happened. 265 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 4: Another stunner with this story, Quoone trans cell phone, seemingly 266 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 4: sucked into oblivion, also survived, recovered on the ground in Oregon, 267 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 4: returned to Alaska Airlines, and eventually its rightful owner. 268 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: It still works. 269 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 5: Pretty much, no damage at all, besides something that wasn't it? 270 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 5: It was pretty crazy, certainly was. 271 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 6: Today the Federal Aviation Administration launched an investigation into Boeing's 272 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 6: seven thirty seven Max nine aircraft. All such planes with 273 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 6: door plugs have been grounded indefinitely. 274 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: I dropped my phone two feet and the whole glass 275 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: shatters and nothing works anymore. I'm getting all kinds of 276 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: blurry rainbow images. Yeah, how does he drop his sixteen 277 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: thousand feet out of a plane? 278 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 2: It makes no sense to me. 279 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: So now you hear that though his socks and shoes, 280 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: we're sucked off. I heard his body is levitating above 281 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: his seat and his legs are being sucked out towards 282 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: the hull. You would have been gone, I would have 283 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: been You would have slid under the seat belt one hundred. 284 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: You'd have no chance. I know. 285 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 2: That is so scary. 286 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: People look up and say, hello, who's that lady? 287 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 2: Oh, look at she's out. She's blown out. In the 288 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 2: atmosphere well, this is not going to be. 289 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: This is not going to make you feel good. The 290 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: FAA is announced a major crackdown on Boeing because it 291 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: believes there are other manufacturing problems, and they are going 292 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: to do an audit of Boeing's production line and the 293 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: production line of its suppliers. Now, what are these other 294 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: manufacturing problems? They want to see? If Boeing failed to 295 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: ensure that the completed products conformed to the to the 296 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: approved design and we're in a condition for safe operation, 297 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: and they're gonna do an audit and then decide if 298 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: they need more audits. So what else do they think 299 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: is wrong? There might there must be some other suspicions here, 300 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: and are people just supposed to take all these Boeing is, 301 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: you know, a huge chunk of the market. There's only 302 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: two companies left that make commercial planes Boeing an Airbus, 303 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: and these Max eight and Max nine jets, which have 304 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: had all the trouble the last few years, are the 305 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: latest iteration of their seven thirty seven line. But I 306 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: thought that was the announcement was ominous and at the 307 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: same time it was vague because they're not you know, 308 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: it's like they don't want to they're panicking everybody by 309 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: doing a massive audit at the same time, they want 310 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: to specifically panic you, right. 311 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 2: Well, because they don't want people to stop flying. I 312 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 2: mean that would cripple I mean, can you imagine. I mean, 313 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 2: look what happened during the pandemic. 314 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: I look at the language here. They want to see 315 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: if the manufacturer failed to ensure its planes were airworthy. 316 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really reassuring. 317 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: Well what if the answer is no? But they just 318 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: haven't approved it yet, right, so we're just supposed to 319 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: wait because what was the plane coming out of Sarasota? 320 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: Was United Jet and I don't know what type of 321 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: jet it wasn't either, but the door open light was flashing, 322 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: but at. 323 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 2: Least the door didn't he said, the door didn't fly open. 324 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: Like the pressurization light was flashing on this Alaska air Jet. 325 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: And it turned out it probably was. The door plug 326 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: was opening a crack, right, it was jiggling a crack 327 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: because the bolts were gone. 328 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 2: I can only imagine how many problems are going to 329 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 2: be found and we are not going to want to 330 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 2: fly ever again, You're right on the edge. I Well, 331 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 2: first of all, as I've told you, before. I hate flying. 332 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 2: I'm a terrified f liar. I hate it, but I 333 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 2: love to travel so much. Travel is such a big 334 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 2: passion of mine, so I grin and bear it. 335 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: Well. The thing with the door plug is you couldn't 336 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: tell the room the door plug from the inside. They 337 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: had they had walled it over. You could see it 338 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: from the outside, but you couldn't see it from the inside. 339 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: They had put up a wall and they put seats 340 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 1: next to it, and it looked entirely normal. So you 341 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: don't unless you inspect the outside of the plane. You 342 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 1: won't know that you're sitting next to one of these. 343 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 2: Unless you you go onto the plane and you say 344 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: to the pilot, Hey, pilot, do we have a door 345 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 2: plug on this? 346 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: Yeah? 347 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 2: All right, thanks, and then you turn around and walk off. 348 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: I'm still suspicious why the two seats next to the opening, 349 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: twenty six A and B were empty. 350 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's something weird about that. 351 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: Who knew that? Because there were only six empty seats 352 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: out of one hundred and seventy one, you know, the 353 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: mathematical odds were pretty low that those would be the 354 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: two that were empty. And I wonder if those two 355 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: had been full, and did people move to other seats 356 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: or did they did they not show up in time 357 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: for their flight or whatever? 358 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 2: Something's fishy. And because there's a window seat, I mean, 359 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 2: I think you mentioned earlier in the week somebody in 360 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 2: a middle seat would of course want to go and 361 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 2: trade the seat that's open, that's by a window. 362 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: Did I know? I gotta take a break, all right, 363 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: we come back. I got to tell you. Did I 364 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,959 Speaker 1: tell you this? Did I tell you about the musical 365 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: chairs game? In the last flight I took? Now, Oh geez, 366 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: several girls, twenty somethings. They seemed like they were influencers. 367 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: That's the vibe. Iy God, they started a chain reaction 368 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: by taking other people's seats and begging, begging people to 369 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: let them stay in the seats. I'll tell you about 370 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: it when we come back, because this behavior's got to stop, 371 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: all right, this this has got to come to an end. 372 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: More coming up on the John Cobelt Show. 373 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM sixty. 374 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: Up after two o'clock.

I got on board on standby right 394 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: because I was going to get on the eleven o'clock 395 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: flight and there was one leaving it. No, I was 396 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: gonna get on the nine thirty flight. There was one 397 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: leaving at eight and I got on the eight o'clock 398 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: flight something like that. 399 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 2: And. 400 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: So I got a seat at the last minute somebody 401 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: had canceled. And then behind me were two girls. And 402 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: these two girls apparently had stolen somebody else's seat. They 403 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: wanted to be seated, They wanted to be seated together. 404 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: They got on board early. They poached these two stea seats. 405 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: And then there was a third girl who apparently poached 406 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: the seat next to me, and they all knew each other, 407 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: and then there was a fourth girl across the aisle, 408 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: and they had been scheming how they could all sit together. Well, 409 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: the people who were entitled to the seats on their 410 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: ticket would show up and they would do one of 411 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: these like, oh, I'm sorry, but we just want to 412 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: sit together. Now. These weren't mothers and children right right. 413 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: These were dope be twenty year olds, and they just 414 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: had that look like they spend their entire lives on 415 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: TikTok and you know that they made all their fashion 416 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: choices based on TikTok. Right, There was just that whole vibe. 417 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: I don't know if they were influencers or not, but 418 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, I do you get that 419 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: feeling well. So here's what happened is increasingly more people 420 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: boarded the flight and they found out their seats were taken, 421 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: and then this crowd started going and again it was 422 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: from four different directions around me. I really had a 423 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: lucky seat. I mean I thought, oh I got an 424 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: aisle seat. It was row fourteen. I really lucked out, 425 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: considering I was the last one to get on the 426 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: to get approved being stand by. Well, could you let 427 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: us sit together? We'd really like to sit together. And 428 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: people are standing there holding their heavy bags, and what 429 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: are you gonna do, right, You're gonna get in a 430 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: fight with a bunch of twenty year olds. But you'd 431 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: have to then turn around and just randomly pick another. 432 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: So that's what people did. Well, then there was another 433 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: wave of passengers, So now you had two sets of 434 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: people who had displaced two sets of other people. It 435 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: was like a game of dominoes and nobody. 436 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 2: In charge there. The flight attendants were trying to control 437 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 2: traffic here for. 438 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: A while, no, for a while, there was nobody in charge. 439 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: And then finally one of them said, well we can't 440 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: do this. We got musical chairs going on here everybody, 441 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 1: and she's now suddenly she was a schoolmarm. She was 442 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: like in kindergarten, and she was lecturing everybody, we can't 443 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: have this. You have to go by the seat that's 444 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: on your ticket. Do we have to? And she goes, no, 445 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: you have to and okay, and then some people start 446 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: scrambling around trying to, you know, get their ticket out 447 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 1: and look for their regular seats. This went on and 448 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: on for the entire boarding process. The more people came in, 449 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: the more they found that they were displaced. And it 450 00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: started with these these two bubble heads. I wanted to 451 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: sit together. How far back on the planehere they supposed 452 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: to sit? They went in all different directions. I don't 453 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: know how far back they went. I guarantee they waited 454 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: till the last minute, trying to save a couple bucks, 455 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: bought the last row of the plane. Yeah, and then 456 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: they all just were trying to sit together, because I 457 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: definitely know people that have done that. 458 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 459 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: And then they PLoP in row fourteen. And I'd see 460 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: not in one of the news sites this week that 461 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: there was a rucissant a plane because this woman had 462 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: bought a ticket, had wanted a specific seat, right, it 463 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: wanted an aisle seat. And then this family comes on 464 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: board and they had booked too late, so they couldn't 465 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: get four seats together, and so the mom and the 466 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: debtor saying, can you move so we could sit with 467 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: our kids? And she said, no, I booked early. I 468 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: wanted this seat. And then she went online and said, 469 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 1: am I in a hall? And apparently the majority said no, 470 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: you're not. I guess everybody's sick of this whole scam. 471 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: It's like, you book your seat early, and if you 472 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: book late, then except whatever you get, and. 473 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: If somebody is gracious enough to trade seats with you, 474 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 2: then be thankful. And if not, because you know what, 475 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 2: if I have a window seat because I always like 476 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 2: the window seat, if I'm paying for a window seat, 477 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 2: I'm not giving that up. Why would I? Why am 478 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 2: I going to go sit in the middle to appease 479 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 2: somebody else. I did my due diligence. 480 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: I try to get aisle seats because I don't want 481 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: to climb over people to go to the bathkeroot. 482 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my husband's the same way. 483 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: I don't mind standing up for others if they have 484 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: to go, but if I have to go, I always 485 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: get the person who's asleep, and then you're sitting there, 486 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: and should I nudge them? You know, should I? Should 487 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: I just stomp on their foot and try to climb out. 488 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: I mean, because they have now used to be able 489 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: to kind of get by someone and not wake them up. 490 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: But now we're so compressed in the seats obviously that 491 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: you do have to shake them awake. And I'd rather 492 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: be on the because then the only sitting next to 493 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: one person, or not too because you were sitting next 494 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: to two people in the middle seat. Double the odds. 495 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: That's somebody didn't take a bath. 496 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 2: I hate the middle seat, I really do. 497 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: Now listen to this story on another flight story. Yes, 498 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: I told you had a lot of them here, all right. 499 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: So this is another woman who flew in California. Oh, 500 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: another TikTok girl. Her name is Sophie Shaw, and she 501 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: posted a video that's already got three and a half 502 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: million views, so you know it's good. And Sophie got 503 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: stuck under a under a leak for the entire trip. 504 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: There was there was something dripping out of a bag 505 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: in the overhead compartment and it was an unidentified liquid. 506 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: She said it was the worst experience I ever had 507 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: on a plane. It was like Chinese water torture. She 508 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: was flying from San Jose to Santa Anna to see 509 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: people here in La and she says she fell asleep 510 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: and then woke up and her leg and seat were completely. 511 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 2: So that's disgusting. 512 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: See if you wake up on a metro trade and 513 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: you're so gods are somebody peed all over you? Right? 514 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: She thought a lady next to her had spilled water, 515 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: And then she looked up and saw a big drip 516 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: coming out of the ceiling and there was a little 517 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: gap in the overhead baggage and so the seat was 518 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: getting splattered with water. It was like you're under a 519 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: leaky roof. And then the flight attendants came and tried 520 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: to put some paper tobbles in the baggage area, and 521 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: they tried to fix something, but they couldn't do it. 522 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: And the thing is, she says, the flight attendant was 523 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: not sympathetic whatsoever. I pressed the button and told the 524 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: flight attendant, but she looked at me as if I 525 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: was a big nuisance. I think it should have been 526 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: her job to make a bigger deal out of it. 527 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: But she said the flight was too full. She couldn't 528 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: move the luggage, so she had to sit under the 529 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: drip for the entire one and a half our flight. 530 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 2: So wait, first of all, it's obviously a liquid you're 531 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 2: not supposed to do. You're not allowed to bring any 532 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 2: liquids in any bags that aren't checked, So that's one thing, 533 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 2: And I'm sorry. I would have gotten up, and I 534 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 2: would have opened up that the door plug, yes, and 535 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 2: I would have thrown out that piece of luggage and 536 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 2: called it a day. 537 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 1: Whose bag is this you? And the bag that's the 538 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: door plug? She said. I tried to shove myself to 539 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: just half the seat to avoid the dripping, but my 540 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: pants were completely soaked and I was basically sitting in 541 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: a puddle. Yeah that much water. 542 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's uh. 543 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: And then there's a lot of turbulence, so the water 544 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: started shifting around. Even her shoes got soggy, and she 545 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: didn't know if it was hazardous. Do you know? Last month, 546 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: air travel experts ranked the overhead bit it's one of 547 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: the dirtiest spots on the plane because they rarely clean 548 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: it and it's touched by a lot of people. She said, 549 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: it was really disgusting to sit through. I felt grossed out. 550 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: The entire time, so I just closed my eyes and 551 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: listened to music, try to block it out. Yeah, I 552 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: have a feeling you wouldn't have You wouldn't have taken it. 553 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 2: I'm paying for a ticket. I'm not going to be 554 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 2: dealing with that, right? And uh, did we ever find 555 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 2: out what that liquid was? 556 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm looking, I'm looking. 557 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 2: No, so a TSA screener missed that. 558 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, now that's happened. I've accidentally left the water bottles 559 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: in the bag and I'd find them later. 560 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 2: Oh they always find okay. 561 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: They always find yours. 562 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 2: Oh ways, nothing gets by. I'm telling you absolutely nothing. 563 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 2: When I'm in that line. 564 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: Southwest offered her one hundred and fifty dollars this compensation, 565 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: but the flight cost one sixty, so they wouldn't even 566 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: spend the last ten dollars to compensate. 567 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 2: Oh, come on, you gotta do better than that. No 568 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 2: way would I. Okay, you know my personality. That would 569 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 2: not sit well with me. 570 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: More coming up Johnny Kent Show. 571 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 572 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 3: six forty. 573 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: Coming up after Devers two o'clock news, We're gonna have 574 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: Susan Sell Susan Shelley on from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. 575 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm on crack this afternoon. I don't 576 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: know why. Yeah, I know, I feel just really hyper 577 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: and uh it's Friday, Susan. Yeah, I figure if I 578 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: talk faster, I'll get to the end of the week quicker. 579 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: You know, this is the first five day week we've 580 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: worked in a month, or at least that I've worked 581 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: in a month. So that's it, then, lucky you. Yeah, 582 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: well between the vacations and you know all that went 583 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,959 Speaker 1: on in the last month. All right, So Susan Shelley's 584 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: going to be on. She's coming on because there's a 585 00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: referendum that the Foundation is hoping to get on the ballot, 586 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: and I'd like for it to be on the ballot, 587 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: and I think you would too. It's called Repeal the 588 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: Death Tax Act. And I'm going to explain this for 589 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: a few minutes, so when Susan comes on, we could 590 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: get the conversation up and running right away because it 591 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: takes a minute to explain. But if you own a 592 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: home or you want to own a home someday, this 593 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: is really important because one day you may have children. 594 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: You're going to get old and die and your children 595 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: will inherit the house, And up until twenty twenty, the 596 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: loss said that if you died and your children inherited 597 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: the house, the house could transfer from you to the 598 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: kids and they would pay the same base tax rate. 599 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: As you know, under Prop. Thirteen, the base tax rate 600 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: is set the year that you buy the house. Whatever 601 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: your house was worth in nineteen ninety five or two 602 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: thousand and six, or in nineteen seventy two, whatever year 603 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: you bought the house, that's the base tax rate. And 604 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: while the property tax does go up incrementally, it goes 605 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: up very slowly. However, you know that if you sell 606 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: your house after buying it nineteen ninety five, the next 607 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: family that buys your house would be paying at twenty 608 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: twenty four valuations. This is assuming all our homes continue 609 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: to rise in value, and obviously they generally do. So 610 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: you know, you buy your house in nineteen ninety five, 611 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: you're paying a that valuation for the rest of your life, 612 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: plus the incremental increases. But the guy who buys a 613 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: house in twenty twenty four, he doesn't get that nineteen 614 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: ninety five deal. Now he's got it, but he's locked 615 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: in at twenty twenty four, so he can keep that 616 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: house for twenty or thirty years and he's at that valuation. 617 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: But the thing is, it used to be you die, 618 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: your kids get the house. They have the same valuation. 619 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: Otherwise they not be able to afford the house. They 620 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: may be forced to sell it because the property tax 621 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: suddenly skyrockets. And for decades we didn't want that to happen. 622 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: We didn't want our kids to have to pay a 623 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: skyrocketing property tax, keep the house in the family. And 624 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: this is what they did. In twenty twenty, these evil bastards. 625 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: They passed a law. It was a ballot measure that 626 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: you all voted for, and it was a complete lie, 627 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: completely misleading. It was going to provide benefits to wildlife 628 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: victims and senior citizens who wanted to move to a 629 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: new home. It would give them a break, all right, 630 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: and if you remember the commercials, it focused on the 631 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: wildfires people forced to move, senior citizens. Right, But there 632 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: was fine print. There was an extra provision which we 633 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: talked about at the time, nobody paid attention, which said 634 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: that they were getting rid of the parent to child 635 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:10,919 Speaker 1: transfer protection. It was gone. So now if you die, 636 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: your child has got to pay for the current valuation. 637 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,479 Speaker 1: So if you've had your house for twenty thirty, forty 638 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 1: fifty years, that's a huge tax increase for your kids. 639 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 1: Nobody wanted that because when the parent child Transfer protection 640 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: was originally passed back in nineteen eighty six, it was 641 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: a unanimous vote in both the Assembly and the Senate, 642 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: and it was approved by seventy five percent of the 643 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: voters statewide. So in nineteen eighty six, every single politician 644 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 1: that voted in Sacramento said, yes, we want the parent 645 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: child transfer to be protected, no massive tax increase on 646 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: the property, and the public certainly supported that in a referendum, 647 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: and then Prop nineteen took it away because of these 648 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: the deceiving bastards who had written it. And that was 649 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: the purpose of the measure. The purpose of the measure 650 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: was to get rid of that protection from parent to 651 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: child when you sell your house. It wasn't about helping 652 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: wildfire victims. They knew people would be manipulated by the 653 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: commercials because we'd had a few years of really bad 654 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: wildfires and everything else that was happening in twenty twenty, 655 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: you know, the lockdowns and the rioting and all that nonsense. 656 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: So obviously this death tax ought to be repealed, and 657 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: there's a repeal the Death Tax Act that could be 658 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: on the ballot. The deadline to return petitions to the 659 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is January sixteenth.
