1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on every day from 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: one until four o'clock.

You know, if if you asked me, 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: if there's one thing that I could get regardless of cost, 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: what would be the one thing I'd love to have 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: for the rest of my life? Possession? I'd love to 9 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: have access to a private plane. I am so disgusted 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: flying and traveling. I'm never going to get access to 11 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: a private plane. I'm never going to have one. I 12 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: was on one once about ten years ago, and it 13 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: was wonderful. But I had to fly a lot the 14 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: last month because of a vacation, and we you know, 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: we went to Iceland and met Cafie listeners there, and 16 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: then we had a family wedding and boy, people are gross. 17 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,639 Speaker 1: You're in a confined metal tubety five thousand feet into 18 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: the air, and people dress badly, they smell bad, They've 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 1: got all their excess weight flop it over into your seat. 20 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I oh, and I'm lucky. I was on 21 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: a civilized plane. I see the videos all the time. 22 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: It seems to be spirit in Frontier. There's constant fistfights, 23 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: crazy people shouting. I'd be well. Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary, 24 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: wants to bring back the Golden Age of travel, where 25 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: people are courteous and clean and they treat all the 26 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: workers properly. And they have videos out now showing what 27 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: life used to be like on airplanes and then cut 28 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: to oh and the dress and it's just the hygiene. 29 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: Let's get Alex Stone, ABC News. Alex, are you telling 30 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: me the KFI jet is not taking you around? No? No, 31 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: I didn't know we have one. I don't think we 32 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: have a Cafi wagon. It's not idoling over there. And no, 33 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: no nobody gives me anything. So yeah, the campaign that 34 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: they are kicking off today, they did it with a 35 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: video where the Department of Transportation is and this is 36 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: asking to be mocked by SNL. I mean, the whole 37 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: thing looks like a big SNL joke, but it's an 38 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: interesting campaign that the Secretary Duffy is going for. It's 39 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: called the Golden Age of Travel starts with you, And 40 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: in the video they begin with images and sounds of 41 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: the fifties and sixties when air travel was luxurious and 42 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: people got a fancy to get on airplanes and they 43 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: had lobster and they were cutting off prime rib and 44 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: you had leg room for a mile in front of you. 45 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: And they show all the great images of times gone by. 46 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm fly with me, let's fly, and oh my goodness, 47 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: it looks amazing. And then the video devolves into fights 48 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: on board airplanes today and what we're dealing with now. 49 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: So they are calling on all of us to restore 50 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: courtesy and class to air travel, to they say, ensure 51 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: the safety of passengers, gate workers, and flight attendants, pilots 52 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: as well. The DOT says that this is because of 53 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: a four hundred percent increase in in flight outbursts and 54 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: unruly passengers since twenty nineteen. Now, they didn't break that 55 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: down by the year. I would guess that a lot 56 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: of that was during COVID. If you remember that all 57 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: the mask fights every day that and it was like 58 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: three or four a day that we were covering in 59 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: the federal charges and everything, and people were going nuts 60 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: over the masks and over a vaccine rules and all that. 61 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: But Duffy in this video, which has this old classic 62 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: filter over it says he wants you to ask yourself 63 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: some questions the next time you fly. This is where 64 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: I feel like SNL has got to be gearing up 65 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: to do this right here that John Duffy put out today. 66 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: Are you helping a pregnant woman put her bag in 67 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: the overhead bin? Are you dressing with respect? Are you 68 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: keeping control of your children? 69 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 2: Are you saying thank you to your fight attendants and 70 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: your pilots? 71 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: Are you saying please and thank you? In general? The 72 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: golden age of travel begins with you. So the department 73 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: says it's committed to ushering in the golden age of 74 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: travel again, and they want the excitement and manners and 75 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: relaxation to come back. I think you're gonna have a 76 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: lot of people who say good luck to that. The 77 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: society that we live in now that that went away 78 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: a long time ago. The genies out of the bottle 79 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: on getting people to dress up when they go and fly. 80 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: At least they dress a little bit nicer and demand 81 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: the people be nice at the airport. But I would 82 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: also argue in all of this that the airlines have 83 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: a role to play that as they are stuffing in 84 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: more seats and making them as thin as they possibly 85 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: can that they don't break when you sit in them. 86 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: But to put in more seats, charging you for an 87 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: aisle or a window and no meal service. And a 88 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: lot of times on a flight if you're flying like 89 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: up to the Bay Area and they say, I'm sorry, 90 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: it's too short of a flight for drink service, and 91 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: you know it's not. It didn't used to be too 92 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: short of a flight for that. And just you know 93 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: the overall the boarding style and the quick turnaround of 94 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: the planes and whatnot that it's this is a two 95 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: way street on this thing. But at least from the 96 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: passenger side, the campaign is going to be be nice, 97 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: dress a little bit nicer, say please and thank you, 98 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: and they just want a little civility buy back an 99 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: air travel. I agree with you. The airlines treat people 100 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: like crap. And they wouldn't even hand out cookies. Where 101 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: the ice cream cart? Unless you're in Polaris, you're not 102 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: where's the ice cream cart? Come on through? Not even 103 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: a glass of water. Nothing. They get rid of the 104 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: water and they got rid of the cookies. Yeah, when 105 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: they come on they say this is a short flight, 106 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna be water and apple chears, so like, who 107 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: chose apple jack apples? There's a weird second drink to 108 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: offer to people. That's gross. But the people really got it. 109 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: They not only have to dress better, they have to 110 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: shower before they go on board. I mean, you know, 111 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: and some people you gotta get an no zepic prescription. 112 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of pajamas on board these yet 113 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: pajamas they've been sleeping in for five days. Yeah. I 114 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: was on a flight a couple of months ago with 115 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: my family, and as I went to get up, one 116 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: of my pet peeves is how people get off of 117 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: an airplane where if you are behind me, you wait 118 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: for me to go. You don't sneak around or go 119 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: running up the eye or anything that are pushed your 120 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: way up there. Right as I got up, he put 121 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: his hand on my shoulder and pushed me back down 122 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,119 Speaker 1: from behind, and then walked by and went up the aisle. 123 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: I looked at my wife and she said, just let 124 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: it go, let it go. I know, I understand why 125 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: you want to end up. I end up feeling like 126 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: I on a bunch of few people out because just 127 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: because we're crammed into each other and people are They're 128 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: so unpleasant, their demeanors are unpleasant. They're dress, they're they're 129 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: they're hygiene. Apparently on the video there was clips of 130 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: people without socks and they've got their feet resting on 131 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: the back of putting their feet up on the bullhead. 132 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: It's like, no, get your feet off. The other thing 133 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: is when you land and people start having phone conversations. 134 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: Wait five minutes. I don't want to hear your phone conversation, 135 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: especially if you put on speaker phone. But nobody's quiet 136 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: when they're talking on a phone, so you know they're talking. 137 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: Then yeah, we just landed. Oh it was an okay flight. Oh, 138 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: what time is Jenny getting home tonight? You know what? 139 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: Five minutes? Do that in the terminal stop and they're 140 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: people using their feet to select their entertainment options on 141 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: the screen. I haven't seen that. That's really disgusting. Yeah, 142 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: it's not a flight about a week ago where there 143 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: was a guy just going to town picking his nose 144 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: in the middle seat in front of me, and then 145 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: his wife or girlfriend was just coughing and sneezing, and 146 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: I thought, I don't know how I'm gonna and I 147 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: didn't get sick, but and then I'll always blow the 148 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: air out of the vent, like right on me, thinking 149 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: if she's coughing, it's got to blow that out of 150 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: the way, right. But you're just looking going, dude, stop 151 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: picking your nose. We we were changing planes. We were 152 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: on the East Coast, so we and we're I forget 153 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: this is Washington. We were in or New York. We're 154 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: changing planes, and the plane was three hours late lifting off. 155 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: We were stuck on the plane for three hours. Everybody 156 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: was in a great mood. I'm sure, yeah, and then 157 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,679 Speaker 1: there was another six hours to go. In the flight 158 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: nine hours. I was next to this guy. He had tuberculosius. Oh, 159 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: I swear he was coughing up his lungs and mucus 160 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: and fluid violently for nine hours. I was trapped next 161 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: to the guy nine hours. And you know, in about 162 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: five days you're gonna be really Oh god, that was 163 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: one of the most horrible experiences. I'd rather deal with turbulence. 164 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: I'd rather have the plane drop like five thousand feet 165 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: without warning that have to deal with a guy with 166 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: some horrible lung infection. And at what point can you 167 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: hit the flight attendant call button and be like I 168 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: don't want them on the plane here. It's because they're 169 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: really sick. There's nowhere to go.

Yeah, it's just it's 175 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: just an uncivilized, savage society, it really is, and that 176 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: there are people who should never go out in public, 177 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: let alone go on a plane and subject the rest 178 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: of us to your presence. Are more coming up. 179 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 180 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 2: six forty. 181 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: This is one of the great tongue baths in political 182 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: journalism history, Jonathan Martin writes for Politico. And I don't 183 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: think Jonathan's tongue missed a single square inch of Gavin 184 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: Newsom's body, and he must have one exhausted tongue. Oh 185 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: I imagine, you know, if you if you make out 186 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: too long, you know, your your tongue get really really tired. 187 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,359 Speaker 3: Huh, you can imagine. 188 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: I could imagine this. Yeah, you're not going to set 189 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: up a trap for me. I know you, Bob, you start, 190 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: I'll start. But Jonathan Martin's tongue is probably an intensive 191 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: care right now. It's so exhausted. It starts out with 192 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: one of the with the most obnoxious headline I've seen 193 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: in a while. Admit it. Gavin Newsom is the twenty 194 00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: twenty eight front runner. Wow, admit it. Now. First of all, 195 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: Newsom is the only one who's obviously running, so you can't. 196 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: You can't look at name recognition, polling. That's always a loser. Otherwise, 197 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: full stop, Jef Bush, would you president? All right? But 198 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: here's how he starts. Jonathan Martin is Politico's senior political 199 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: columnist and politics bureau chief, so he's the top guy 200 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: at Politico. He writes, this is the opening paragraph. No 201 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: Democrat has had a better two years than Gavin Newsom. 202 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 3: But wait a second, does he understand what is going 203 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 3: on in California? 204 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: I guess not. It doesn't factor in. I'll repeat that 205 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: no Democrat has had a better two years than Gavin Newsom, 206 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: and because of it, the California governor, a national figure 207 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: since he was at thirty six year old, boy Mayor 208 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: has claimed a new title. Boy mayor. 209 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, thirty six, Yeah, okay, sorry to interrupt. Fact. 210 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I I it's refreshing to hear 211 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: your skepticism. A better two years. Ask me, pick pick 212 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: any issue. Ask me if uh pick pick three issues, 213 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: list them and I'll tell you if any of those 214 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: issues were in the story. 215 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 3: Gas prices, No, homelessness in California. 216 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: No, the fires, oh okay, only glancingly, and only with 217 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: Newsom saying that Trump weaponized the fires against him. No, 218 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: none of that was discussed. It was uh, I'll read 219 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: on here. By the old rules of democratic nominations, Newsom 220 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: fits it neatly in the tradition of Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, 221 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: and Barack Obama, younger outsider candidates who could credibly run 222 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: fresh campaigns against the Washington status quo while retaining enough 223 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: insider credentials to reassure party leaders who care about such things. 224 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: The San Franciscan has never lived a day outside of California. 225 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: He presents younger than fifty eight because of his hair 226 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: and jeans jeans the jeans with a J or jeans 227 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: with a G Sidney Sweeney's jeans, and has endeared himself 228 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: to endeared himself to the party rank and file. That 229 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: would that would be ordinary voters. Tivity too, tivity too 230 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: because he went after Trump. Newsom is also the best 231 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: position Democrat according to the new rules of politics, namely 232 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: whether or not you can become famous by breaking through 233 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: on social media. Notice, so far, not only nothing about 234 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: the high taxes, highest income tax, I have salesman Cod's 235 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: gas tax. Oh yeah, that he has destroyed French laundry. 236 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: French yes, the massive homelessness, the billions of dollars blown 237 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: on high speed rail, the billions of dollars lost in 238 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,359 Speaker 1: unemployment money during COVID. 239 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 3: California's gas has never I mean what, It's been years 240 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 3: since it's gone to some normal level. 241 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: He was asked are you a progressive? And Newsom said, 242 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: I'm a hard headed pragmatist. So he's not a progressive. 243 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: Now get this, and this may may you know. I'm 244 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: in the middle leading lunch here and I shouldn't have 245 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: done this. I must never eat lunch during the show, 246 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: so my lunch may come up. He's the son of 247 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: a mother who worked multiple jobs and whose straits made 248 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: Newsom acquainted with wonder bread. This guy, Jonathan Martin actually 249 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: bought the wonderbread story that Newsom told on that podcast 250 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 1: with the NBA players. Jonathan Martin is the only living 251 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: human who believed that story, and may I remind you 252 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: he is the senior political columnist and politics bureau chief 253 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: for Politico. He's also the son of a prominent of 254 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: a prominent judge whose friends, the Getty family, groomed him 255 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: for his greatness. Don't mention that the Getty family worth 256 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: billions of dollars, and his father managed the trust of 257 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: one of the Getty sons, so it's billions of dollars. 258 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: So he got a cut, right, He got a fee 259 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: for doing all that money managing. And the Getty family 260 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: financed ten of Gavin Newsom's first eleven businesses. But that's 261 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: not in this article. Instead, he's the He's the son 262 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: of a mother who fed Newsom wonderbread. He's the proud 263 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: bearer of a three digit SAT score. He'll tell you 264 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: the exact number, which was nine sixty, which we calculated 265 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: equals at ninety three IQ, which is at the low 266 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: average end of the scale. If you closed your eyes 267 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: and change the accent from California cool to Arkansas rasp, 268 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: you could also hear the Bill Clinton in him. 269 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 3: I mean, I could see that. That's the one thing 270 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 3: I could see. 271 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: Newsom would be thrilled at the comparison. He makes no 272 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: secret of his admiration for the former president and the Californians. 273 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: Newsom's oratory and mannerisms consciously or not echo Clinton. 274 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 3: No that I don't remember Clinton saying some of those 275 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 3: weird things. 276 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember. Clinton is the call of this moment. 277 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: But even Clinton, our way towards where the puck is going. 278 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: There's just so many I know, I know, Well, it's 279 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: gonna be a long campaign. But even Clinton didn't have 280 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: that hair. 281 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 3: That's true, but he did have nice hair, but not 282 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 3: Gavin hair. 283 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: No, No, And they start. They talked to Willie Brown, 284 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: and Willy Brown is over ninety years old, former boyfriend 285 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: of Kamala Harris Kamala god Her start in Willie Brown's bed, 286 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: and Willie appointed Newsom to the San Francisco's Parking and 287 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: Traffic Commission, and Willie said that Willie said that Newsom 288 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: has the ability to be elected president big time. Why 289 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: is he so formidable? Jonathan Martin asked, he's the movie star? 290 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: Brown explained simple as that, and is it clear what 291 00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: Newsom actually believes. I don't know, said Brown. I've never 292 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: asked him why for fear he doesn't know. I'm going 293 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: to stress my relationship to my truth. 294 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 3: Ignorance is bliss. 295 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: Yeah. 296 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 3: So is this guy?

People have more money than they know 340 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: what to do with. In certain communities, they pay a 341 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: lot in taxes. In fact, the top one percent pays 342 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: almost half the income tax in this state. So when 343 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: you hear about this nonsense about the rich have to 344 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: pay their fair share, believe me, they're paying the fair share. 345 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: Not only that the middle class is and this is 346 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: rarely talked about. The middle class is taxed at a 347 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: higher rate than most other states in the country. So 348 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: not only the wealthy getting bent over, but the middle 349 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: class in California gets bent over. And we have the 350 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: highest sales tax and we have the highest gas tax. 351 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: It all adds up to the most money ever and 352 00:20:54,680 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: still California government is in a deficit. This is the 353 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: game they play. They gave away. They give away thirty 354 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: five billion dollars a year to illegal illegal aliens. About 355 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: twelve billion dollars a year go to illegal alien healthcare. Everybody. 356 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: It started off with little kids, the elderly. Now it's 357 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: everyone lifetime illegal alien healthcare free from the state of 358 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: California's taxpayers. And I had to emphasize that because I 359 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: often hear in the news California pays healthcare benefits to 360 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: illegal alien. No. California taxpayers, including many who can't afford 361 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:44,239 Speaker 1: their own healthcare, are forced to finance the healthcare of 362 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: millions of illegal aliens. We've got three four five million 363 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: illegal aliens. Nobody knows the exact number, had a million 364 00:21:54,920 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 1: in LA County. Fortunately, some have been caught, Others have 365 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: been deported. And whenever anybody says, oh, you know, we 366 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: really should only be deporting the credinal, no, people came 367 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: here to live off me and you. They're getting free healthcare. 368 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: They're not entitled to it. Their children are getting free education. 369 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: They're not entitled to it. They can go to their 370 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: home country and they can get the health care and 371 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: the education. I don't want to provide it. I want 372 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to be forced to provide it. You 373 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: shouldn't be forced to provide it. We all have our 374 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: own obligations we need to take care of and I 375 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: really resent Newsom given away thirty five billion dollars every 376 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: year and then complaining that we've got a big deficit here. Yeah, 377 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: well stop, just give the money to Americans. Let's start 378 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: with that notion. The AI boom has created a lot 379 00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: of multimillionaires and billionaires, but the stock market is at 380 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: a record high. A lot of the stock price depends 381 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: on people believing that this AI boom is really going 382 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: to transform society and it's going to last forever, and 383 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: that these companies are going to be able to pull 384 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: off the potential and make money at it. There's obviously 385 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: a lot of uncertainty. While it is a tremendous innovation 386 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 1: that will change a lot of things in our lives, 387 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: nobody knows whether these companies will actually make the profits 388 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: that their stock prices seem to promise. You could have 389 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: a massive downtour or a crash in AI stocks any day, 390 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: any minute. You don't know what's going to set it off, 391 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: which means the budget for California could end up with 392 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: a huge hole blown right through the middle of it. 393 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: And it's already bad. They're already bleeding money because of 394 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: massive overspending on nonsense, stupid stuff such as the billion 395 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: and a half dollars for that Capitol building annex, which 396 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: is a monument to the egos of those in the 397 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: legislature and the governor. They don't have many tricks left. 398 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: They were massively in debt this past year, and they 399 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: came up with all kinds of one time solutions, money 400 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: moving around, delaying payments, borrowing money from the future. They 401 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 1: can't do that that much this year. And of course, 402 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: what do you think we have a moron? The Speaker 403 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: of the Assembly, Robert Reeves. You know what his analysis is, 404 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: It's Trump's fault. Honest to god, it's Trump's fault. Trump's 405 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: got nothing to do with California state spending. What he 406 00:24:54,960 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: is cutting, though, is some of the some of the 407 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: Medicaid spending, which has to be cut because Newsom gives 408 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: it away to illegal aliens. And there's no reason that 409 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: taxpayers around the country should have to pay for the 410 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: healthcare of illegal aliens in California. Nobody else does that, 411 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: And so Newsom deserves a huge budget hole because he's 412 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: doing stupid, irresponsible things. But Newsom is responsible for this 413 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: massive budget deficit, and it's going to get worse and 414 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: worse and worse. They're looking at it running through you know, 415 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: as far as they can see. You know, they've got 416 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: it laid out through twenty the rest of twenty twenty 417 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: six into twenty twenty seven. Because because what Because progressive 418 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: politicians spend enormous amounts of money tax people to death. 419 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 1: You wonder why the economy sucks in California highest unemployment rate, 420 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: highest inflation rate, highest taxes, worst business climate out of 421 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: fifty states, and it's starting to catch up. 422 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 2: You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI Am 423 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 2: six forty. 424 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: Follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social media, and 425 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: you can subscribe to our YouTube video channel, which is 426 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: new YouTube dot com slash at John Cobelt Show.

There is a fashion designer named Michael Schmidt. 432 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: He designs costumes for share Shakira Sabrina Carpenter and he 433 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: is family were farmers, and he found out one day 434 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: that there are gay sheep one out of every twelve 435 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: rams are gay, not the Los Angeles ram. Yeah, oh okay, okay, 436 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: So the male male sheep or rams, the females are 437 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: use e w s they you say it is. So 438 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: when the gay sheep see the female sheep, they go ew. 439 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: They want nothing to do with it, thank you. And 440 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: he found out that the one purpose for these male 441 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: sheep is to reproduce. And on a normal farm, one 442 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: ram should service fifty us and they have topprocreate. They 443 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: got to reproduce. So if you're a gay male ram, 444 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 1: you're of no use and you get sent to the slaughterhouse. 445 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 3: Oh that's discrimination. 446 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: Well, and Michael Schmidt, he's gay, and thought, well, no, 447 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: this isn't right. It's not for the gay sheep to 448 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: be sent to the slaughterhouse because they can't reproduce with 449 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: the female sheep. That's not their thing. So the sheep 450 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: are being killed for being gay, he realized. And so 451 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: what he's done is he's created a company called Rainbow 452 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: Wool because the gay sheep are discarded and it turns 453 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: out that they keep growing wool and their wool can 454 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: be valuable, and so he put together this company with 455 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: some other helpers to redirect the gay animals from the 456 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: slaughterhouse to be wool growing contributors. 457 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 3: I love this. 458 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,719 Speaker 1: Isn't this great? It is? They wanted to come up 459 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: with here's the thing. When female sheep get pregnant, they 460 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: stop growing wool, but the male sheep never stop. So 461 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: I thought this could be a business opportunity. And they 462 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: began with three sheep, and now they have put together 463 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: a business and New York Times has photos of them 464 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: like fluffing the wool and creating product out of the wool, 465 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: and they sell patches and caps. Proceeds go to gay 466 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: charities as well as sponsorships, and now they're saving the 467 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: lives of all these gay sheep. 468 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 3: I love the story. You know, had I known what 469 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 3: this story entailed, I would have chosen that. 470 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: The other day. I'm glad you said that because that's 471 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: what I was thinking. Yes, I was thinking if only 472 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: she knew, only I knew. Instead you were taking the 473 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: weird penis I was, and you were missing out. Yes, 474 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: that's something I thought would hearten you. 475 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 3: Well, you know what I needed that today? 476 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: Thank you. How many gay sheep have been saved. And 477 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: they have a store now, an online store, and there's 478 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: photos in the New York Times of the kind of 479 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: products that they made. But I never knew that. I 480 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: didn't know there were, first of all, that many gay sheeps. 481 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: I didn't know there was any one out of twelve. 482 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: That means there's millions, and that they were all sent yeah, 483 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: sent to sent to the old meat grinder. Well, they're 484 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: not useful in the in the in the world of sheep. 485 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: If you're running a farm. 486 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 3: People eat sheep. 487 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: Uh either lamb, Yeah, lamb is the baby sheep. In fact, 488 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: Iceland they got lamb. 489 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 3: I forgot that it's lamb. I really didn't put those 490 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 3: two together, but now I remember. 491 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: And then there's mutton. Is the is the sheep meat? 492 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 3: Okay, never mind? 493 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: What was the real value? I think so? But the 494 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: real value on a farm is you got to keep producing. 495 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: I mean, here's fifty women have at it, which means 496 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: if you're a straight sheep, life is good. Yeah, okay, 497 00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: here's fifty girls do it. 498 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 3: Right, You're not if you're when they get tired. 499 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, but you don't. No, I haven't 500 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: been in that situation, so I don't I can't relate. 501 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: All right, we come back.
