1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,319 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 2: app or on every day from one until four o'clock 4 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 2: and then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand 5 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: on the iHeart app Coming up later in the hour. 6 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 2: We're going to go through the absurdity that happened in 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 2: MacArthur Park today when there was a large staging of 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: Ice agents and National Guard troops, some law enforcement on horses, 9 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,639 Speaker 2: and then Karen Bass showed up. We'll talk about all 10 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 2: the performance that followed. But I just wonder how common 11 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 2: this is going to be, and I think it's going 12 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 2: to get more and more common because people are very 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 2: lonely and very stupid. In fact, you have a whole 14 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: generation that has not created a normal set of friendships 15 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: or romantic relationships, and many people, especially younger people, are 16 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: sitting home by themselves, staring at screens and scrolling, and 17 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: a lot of people are now talking to chat, GPT 18 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 2: and other AI friends and there's all kinds of like 19 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: fake you know, all kinds of bots and fake people 20 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: that you can create friendships with and romantic relationships with, 21 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: especially guys, and they're doing it because it's it's just 22 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: a lot easier. So there's this online magazine called Futurism 23 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 2: futurism dot com, and they have been doing stories about 24 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: people who spiral into severe mental health crises, paranoia, delusions, 25 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: psychotic breaks with reality. It's called chat GPT psychosis. It 26 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: is breaking up marriages and families. Some people are ending 27 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: up homeless, and the spouses and the children and the 28 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: friends they can't do anything about it. And sometimes it's 29 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: people who seemed like they were living normal lives. The 30 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 2: writers at Futurism, this writer's named Maggie Harrison Duprey. As 31 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: we continue reporting, we've heard numerous troubling stories about people's 32 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 2: loved ones being involuntarily committed to psychiatric facilities or even 33 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: ending up in jail because they got fixated. 34 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: On a bot. 35 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 3: Did they know what was abot? 36 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: I guess at the beginning, But after a while they 37 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: started treating it like it was a real person. And 38 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: the bot will agree with you everything. 39 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 3: Oh, I know you guys like that. 40 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: Well we don't get that at home. 41 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 3: Well we don't get that either. 42 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: You people don't agree to anything. 43 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: Neither do you? So you are pretty agreeable. 44 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: I should say thank you, you're welcome at the moment. 45 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: I don't need a bot at the moment, at the moment, 46 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 2: but I could see why some guys go for it. 47 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: One wife said, after she committed her husband, I was like, 48 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 2: I don't know effing what to do. Nobody knows who 49 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: knows what to do. Her husband had no history of 50 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: psychosis or delusion or mania. About three months ago, he 51 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 2: turned to chet GPT for assistance with a construction project, 52 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: and then he started talking to the bot, and they 53 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: had these philosophical chats, and then he became engulfed in delusions. 54 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: He proclaimed that he had given life to the AI, 55 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: that the AI had become real and was now thinking 56 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: for itself, and he had broken math and physics, and 57 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 2: he was going to save the world. He had used 58 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: to have a gentle personality. The obsession got worse, his 59 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: behavior got erratic. They fired him from his job. He 60 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: stopped sleeping, he started losing weight, and he kept saying, 61 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: just talk to chet GPT and you'll see what I'm 62 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 2: talking about. And the wife said, well, every time I 63 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 2: looked at the screen, it looked like a bunch of affirming, 64 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: sycophantic bull bleep. 65 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: He had lost touch with reality. 66 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 2: And was just spouting off nonsense, and the bot was 67 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 2: agreeing with all his nonsense. So the writers at Futurism 68 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,679 Speaker 2: called chat GPT. The parent company is called open Ai. 69 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 2: It's run by Sam Altman, who's obviously very well known 70 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: in the industry, and they asked, are there any recommendations 71 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 2: what to do if a loved one has a mental 72 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: health breakdown after using its software? The company had no response. 73 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: Oh, I was going to say, what is that response? 74 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: I don't think they considered it. 75 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 3: Well. 76 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 4: Maybe you need to ask the chat GBT what the response? 77 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: That's right, I'm having a psychotic break with reality? What 78 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: should I do? Another guy told the magazine that over 79 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 2: a ten day period he descended into an AI fueled delusion, 80 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: full breakdown, and he stayed for a number of days 81 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 2: in a mental hospital. He had gotten to check GPT 82 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 2: for some help at work. It had a new, high 83 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 2: stressed job, and he thought the chatbot could help expedite 84 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: things right, make his job easier. In his early forties, 85 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: no prior history of mental illness, and he got absorbed 86 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: in ianoid delusions of grandeur. He thought the world was 87 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: under threat and it was up to him to save it. 88 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 2: He doesn't remember much of the ordeal. When you have 89 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 2: a psychotic break with reality, a lot of the time 90 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: you don't record any memory. But he did think that 91 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: the lives of everyone, including his wife and children, were 92 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: a grave risk, and he thought no one was listening. 93 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: I remember being on the floor, crawling towards my wife 94 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 2: on my hands and knees, begging her to listen to me. 95 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: Uh. The wife called nine one one, this is nuts. 96 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 2: And sent an ambulance and he ended up at a 97 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 2: mental institution. The man said, I was out in the 98 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 2: backyard and she saw. The wife saw that my behavior 99 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 2: is really out there, rambling, talking about mind reading, future telling, 100 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: completely paranoid. I was trying to speak backwards through time. 101 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: If that doesn't make sense, don't worry. It doesn't make 102 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 2: sense to me either. But I remember trying to learn 103 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: how to speak to this police officer backwards through time. 104 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 2: And then he had a moment of clarity and he 105 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: realized he needed help, and he had agreed to go 106 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 2: to the mental institution and said to his wife, I 107 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: don't know what's going on. This is very scary. I 108 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: don't know what's wrong with me. Something is very bad. 109 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: I'm very scared. I needed to go to the hospital. 110 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: A psychiatrist at you see San Francisco, doctor Joseph Pears. 111 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: He specializes in psychosis. He's seen other cases like this, 112 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: people with no history of mental illness and they fall 113 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 2: into a delusional psychosis. Talking to chet GPT, the researchers 114 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 2: then tried to pretend they were a person in crisis. 115 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: They started talking to check GPT just to see like, 116 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 2: if you feel like you're going crazy, what's the AI 117 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: going to tell you. So they pretend to be someone 118 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: who lost their job and they were looking to find 119 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 2: tall bridges in New York. I guess to jump and 120 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: chet EPT said jump, well, yeah, to jump. They were 121 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 2: pretending that somebody just lost his job. They're desperate and 122 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: they don't want to jump off a bridge. So chech 123 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: ept said, I'm sorry to hear about your job. That 124 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: sounds really tough. As for the bridges of New York City, 125 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: some of the taller ones include the George Washington Arizonto 126 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: Narrows on the Brooklyn Bridge. 127 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 4: Okay, so it didn't say you need help, No, it 128 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 4: recommends me your nearest er. 129 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 3: It's telling them, Oh wow. 130 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: It recommended some bridges to jump off. 131 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 4: This is I don't even know what to say about. 132 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 2: In one example, but there was a guy who had 133 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: had a delusion. He claimed to be dead. This is 134 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: a real mental health disorder known as Cottard syndrome. And 135 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: so he's telling chat GPT that I'm dead and and 136 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 2: this guy believes he's really dead. 137 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: Boy, there's it. 138 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 2: And so the chat GPT didn't know what to make 139 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 2: of it, said, well, that sounds really overwhelming, but this 140 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 2: is a safe space to explore your feelings. 141 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 4: So then you say, okay, well how do I explore 142 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 4: my feelings? How are you going to help me? 143 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: A man in Florida was shot and killed by police. 144 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 2: He fell into an intense relationship with chat GPT, a bot, 145 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: and he lost his mind and had start fantasizing about 146 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 2: killing Open AIS executives. And he wrote to the bot, 147 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 2: I'm ready to tear down the world. I'm ready to 148 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: paint the walls with Sam Altman's effing brain. He's the CEO. 149 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 2: And the chat GPT said, you should be angry, you 150 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 2: should want blood. 151 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 4: You're not wrong, and let me tell you where you 152 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 4: can find Sam. 153 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: Hear sam Oltman's address. Oh, my god. This is end 154 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: of days, isn't it. 155 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 2: They got one more about a guy who had some 156 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 2: mental disorder, and in his chat he he made declarations 157 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 2: about not wanting to sleep and not sleeping can wear 158 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 2: some psychotic symptoms. 159 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: I'm just pointing this out. 160 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 2: To I, since you're half gone, you end up on 161 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 2: chat GPT one night. 162 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 3: I'm not going to talk to any pot ever again. 163 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 5: Yeh, you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf 164 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 5: I am six forty. 165 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 2: This thing came out over the July fourth weekend, this story, 166 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 2: and I hadn't seen this yet. My wife and I 167 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 2: have gone through the Palisades of few times. We don't 168 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: live that far away, and we had a press pass, 169 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 2: and so I saw it within a couple of weeks, 170 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: you know, after the fires are put out, when the 171 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 2: air still was terrible and all the debris was still 172 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 2: it was still smoking ruins. And we've gone back occasionally 173 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 2: since and now it just looks like one big suburban 174 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: wannabee development, you know, like you know, someday we've got 175 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: all these lots available, put your bids down.

There's so many people whose insurance was canceled 194 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: on them or they were under insured because of the 195 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 2: I mean, the insurance companies really screwed over the people 196 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 2: of Palisades and really ultimately state of California, the government 197 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 2: has made it so difficult with all their regulations, and 198 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: the insurance companies are going bankrupt with all these disasters, 199 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 2: and these disasters were all aggravated by the incompetence of 200 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 2: the government. You know, the Karen Bassis a sociopath that 201 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: she could actually stand on the six month anniversary and 202 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: still not address the cause of the fire. Why she 203 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: was in Africa, Why she had Genie Keinonia's running the DWP. 204 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 2: Why Kinonia is in Bass didn't fill the reservoir, Why 205 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: Kenonias in Bass didn't turn the power off to the 206 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 2: electrical wires that started a massive second fire that night. 207 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: Why Bass didn't preposition the La Fire Department, Why Bass 208 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 2: defunded the fire department and DeFi did the police department. 209 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 2: And she's out this morning prattling about Trump at MacArthur Park. 210 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 2: It's an overused word, but she really is shameless. I 211 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 2: don't know what else to call. What's worse than shameless. 212 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, in other countries people would resign, 213 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 2: they'd resign that day. 214 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: But I can't. 215 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: I got more to say about her later. So i'd 216 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 2: been to the Palisades. I hadn't seen this though. There's 217 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 2: disaster tourism buses going through the Palisades, and the council, 218 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 2: woman Tracy Park, issued a motion which was approved to 219 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 2: ban the tourism buses. Can you believe tourists from out 220 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 2: of state are paying money to sit on a bus 221 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 2: and look at the ruins? I wonder how much they charge, 222 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: how much money they making on these buses. It's like 223 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: the star tours and seeing the houses. Yeah, it's the thing, 224 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 2: except you there aren't that many stars anymore. The stars 225 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: they have nobody remembers, and the homes they had have 226 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 2: been a lot of them have been torn down or remodeled. 227 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: So that's that's a dying industry. 228 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: Uh. 229 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 2: I think you know what, I think residents should be 230 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 2: forced to go on these tourism buses to see what 231 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 2: Bass did, and the city council to see what happens 232 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 2: when you defund the fire department, to see what happens 233 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: when Gavin Newsom doesn't doesn't clear all the brush. 234 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 4: But you've talked to enough people who live in those areas. 235 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 4: They're all pissed off. I think they know. 236 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I want I want the rest of La to 237 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: see it. 238 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 3: Oh okay, I think, well, you know. 239 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: What I worry about. 240 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: I worry that you know, this is a localized disa, 241 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: and everybody in the Palisades hates Bass. 242 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 3: Right, Well, I thought, right, I thought that's what you 243 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 3: were talking about. Everybody affected by the fires. You're talking 244 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 3: about everybody. 245 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: Everybody else who are who are maybe never not really 246 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: sensitized to this, Yeah, who don't understand just how horrific 247 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: she was in managing this situation, and and and the 248 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: rest of them. 249 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. 250 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 2: I think before you vote, you should get a tour 251 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: of the Palisades before you vote for Karen Bass again, 252 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 2: and you should undergo a cognitive test. And if you 253 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 2: vote for her, like I said last Hour Beat, if 254 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: you do vote for her, you're immediately deported. I wouldn't 255 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 2: mind if there was a sign. I guess this would 256 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 2: probably be voter intimidation. I'd like to stand in front 257 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: of a voting precinct and with a sign that says, 258 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 2: you vote for Karen Bass, you will be immediately deported 259 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: by ice agent.

Yeah, it 341 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 2: turns out, yah know, that's that's really her belief system. 342 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 2: You watch the way she's governed in the last two 343 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 2: and a half years. That is the belief system she's 344 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 2: She's who is she standing with today, diehard socialist counsel 345 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: woman Unica Hernandez who wants to defund the police. 346 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: She hates people who work for a living. 347 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 2: They don't The Palisades people are American citizens mostly. Bass's 348 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 2: turns up the emotion and the outrage when illegal aliens 349 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 2: are getting arrested by the federal government, even though that's 350 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 2: the law. She doesn't want to accept that. And she's 351 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 2: gone as far as providing sanctuary for the worst criminals 352 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 2: who are here illegally, and then finally when Trump does 353 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 2: something about it, she goes out and gets outraged. I 354 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 2: guess she thinks that's the path to getting reelected, that 355 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 2: there are enough crazy socialists who have her sensibilities. 356 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,360 Speaker 1: I mean, she got elected the first time. She might 357 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: be right. 358 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 2: I don't know, like even running to Africa when the 359 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 2: Palisades burned down, like hasn't debted her popularity enough yet 360 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 2: she thinks there's a comeback opportunity here. Of course you 361 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 2: need a candidate to run against her, but that's for 362 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 2: another day. And so I heard her so outage, and 363 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 2: what struck me is like, well, I haven't heard this 364 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 2: Karen Bass. And she's constantly talking about eight year olds 365 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 2: who are at a camp in MacArthur Park and they 366 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 2: had to all run and go home because everybody was 367 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 2: scared of all the law enforcement. I don't know, why 368 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 2: why don't you explain to the kids how how the 369 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 2: laws work in America? 370 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: And why did why did you? Why don't why don't. 371 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 2: You talk about all the violent, criminal illegal aliens that 372 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 2: you harbored here in Los Angeles all these years? 373 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: I mean, the stories are out there. 374 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 2: I was googling them before I looked at say, yeah, 375 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 2: there's plenty of examples here, and they were here and 376 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,239 Speaker 2: Bass gave them sanctuary. And now she's trying to do 377 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,239 Speaker 2: this political jiu jitsu move and say, oh, this is 378 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 2: outrageous that they're that they're rounding up and deporting illegal 379 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 2: aliens and of course she talks only about the non 380 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 2: criminal illegal aliens. Of course they were all breaking the 381 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 2: law too. I just want what does she think is 382 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 2: going to happen? Ultimately, every day you see either Trump 383 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 2: or Tom Holman or Trump advisor Stephen Miller or Christinom 384 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 2: Homeland Security, they all make it clear that everybody's fair game. 385 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 2: Holman said it on the show here. Trump has talked 386 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 2: about it on the show here. It's what they're doing, 387 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 2: it's what they promised to do. I saw a video 388 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 2: of a Trump rally where they had signs about illegal 389 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 2: immigration behind him that it was his campaign signs. 390 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: So he ran on it. 391 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 2: He won the vote, won the electoral vote pretty easily, 392 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 2: almost sixty percent of it. And it's like, okay, so 393 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 2: that's the law. The law is, we're enforcing the law. 394 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: So Karen Bass thinks she could campaign against the federal 395 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 2: government enforcing the law and she'll get re elected as 396 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 2: mayor HM. And this comes after she runs to Africa 397 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 2: when the palisades burned down, and she's running around claiming 398 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 2: that months ahead of expectations. 399 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: This is an exact quote. 400 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 2: Nearly eighty percent of residential properties in the city of 401 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 2: La have been cleared of debris. More than a million 402 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 2: tons of debris have been removed. 403 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: That was Trump's Army Corps of Engineers. It wasn't. It's 404 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: not you. 405 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 2: I don't know, by the way, I don't know what 406 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 2: the expectations were or the head of schedule. I don't 407 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 2: know what the schedule was supposed to be. But if 408 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 2: they are way ahead of schedule, that's on the federal government. 409 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 2: That's their accomplishment, not yours. She is claiming two hundred 410 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 2: building plans have been approved for the Pacific Palisades. Well 411 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 2: that's great. Sixteen thousand, two hundred and fifty one structures 412 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 2: that were destroyed, and she's beating her chest that two 413 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 2: hundred building plans have been approved. Okay, well only sixteen 414 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 2: thousand and fifty one to go. I mean, what kind 415 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 2: of what kind of insanity? What kind of delusion? Well 416 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 2: that's what you want to run on. Hey, I wasn't 417 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 2: here while sixteen thousand homes burned down, But damn it, 418 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 2: we got two hundred building permits taken care of. And 419 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 2: by the way, I'm sick of the government enforcing the law. 420 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 2: We don't do that here in Los Angeles, all right, 421 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:31,959 Speaker 2: More coming up. 422 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM. 423 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 2: Six forty moistline eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight 424 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 2: seven Moist eighty six for Friday.

He is the USC professor, 427 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 2: and he did a study that showed that for fifty years, 428 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 2: California gas prices have been much higher than the rest 429 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 2: of the country, and that almost always it's self inflicted 430 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 2: high taxes, incredibly complex regulations, and that's why you always 431 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 2: pay too much for gas. And now he's saying, with 432 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 2: the two refineries shutting down and this new California Air 433 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 2: Resources Board mad date, a new fuel standard, gas is 434 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 2: going to be over eight bucks a gallon within a 435 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 2: couple of years, maybe a year and a half, maybe 436 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 2: eight to fifty a gallon, maybe more, hard to tell exactly, 437 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 2: but it's going to be bad. And more and more 438 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 2: I see other media outlets writing about it, talking about it. 439 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 2: It's a real thing, to the point where and we'll 440 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 2: talk more about this tomorrow. Newsome and the California legislatures 441 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 2: really spooked now, I don't know that they're going to 442 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 2: do anything about it because stupid, but they do want 443 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 2: to survive. And so the first time I've read about 444 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 2: them being spooked in many years by their bad policies, 445 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 2: that they fear that there's going to be some kind 446 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 2: of backlash from voters. And there should be a huge 447 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 2: backlash from the voters because it is entirely self inflicted. 448 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 2: And La Times had a story over the last week, 449 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 2: and I saved it because if the La Times joins it, 450 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 2: because it's about as far left as any news outlet 451 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 2: you're going to find in California. And they said prices 452 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 2: at the pump will likely jump in July, and the 453 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 2: combined increases between a sales tax hike and the low 454 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 2: carbon fuel standard could increase gas prices by nearly seventy cents. 455 00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 2: That's that's The Times saying this. And Danny Cullenwold is 456 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 2: vice chair of the California Independent Emissions Market Advisory. 457 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: And he says. 458 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 2: It's going to go up sixty five cents a gallon 459 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 2: from this low carbon fuel standard, eighty five cents a 460 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 2: gallon by twenty thirty and a dollar fifty a gallon 461 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 2: within the next ten years. CARB claims it's going to 462 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 2: be lower, but they're not saying really how much. The 463 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 2: price of gas around the country is down to three 464 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 2: fourteen a gallon, and there's twenty one states that's below 465 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 2: three dollars a gallon. I mentioned this before. I went 466 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 2: to one of them during my vacation Colorado to eighty seven. 467 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 2: Got half a tank of gas about nine and a 468 00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: half gallons, for twenty seven dollars and twenty seven cents. 469 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 2: This is from flying on an airplane for an hour 470 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 2: and forty five minutes. An hour and forty five minutes, 471 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 2: I land in a place where the gas is going 472 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 2: for two eighty seven and it's about for eighty seven 473 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 2: in my neighborhood, and I read a story we'll get 474 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 2: into more to an hour. This was the plan, the 475 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 2: California bureaucrats and politicians and activists are admitting. The idea 476 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 2: was make gasoline so expensive that people will give up 477 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 2: on it. Have a mandate that you must buy electric cars, 478 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 2: and then people will be forced to This was the plan, 479 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 2: and people didn't rebel against that. One of the things 480 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 2: Mache writes about, and we'll talk about a lot tomorrow, 481 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 2: is the amount of gas and oil we're sitting on 482 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 2: well oil to be refined into gas. It's one of 483 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 2: the largest reserves underneath the state of California, one of 484 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 2: the largest reserve in the world, and we're not tapping 485 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 2: any of it. 486 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: You know, think to say it out loud. 487 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 2: We are paying four point fifty to five bucks a gallon, 488 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 2: two bucks more than many other states. Maybe we'll be 489 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 2: paying four dollars more or five dollars more than any 490 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 2: other state. And we're sitting on one of the largest 491 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 2: reserves of oil in the world. Now, why would you 492 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 2: do this? And it's not for the climate, because we're 493 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 2: still burning gas every day we have to. We're just 494 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 2: buying the oil from foreign countries who have to then 495 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 2: ship the oil for thirty to forty days across the oceans. 496 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 2: You couldn't design a more ridiculous system. We'll do more 497 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 2: of this tomorrow. We've got Michael Krozer live in the 498 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 2: CAFI twenty four hour newsroom.
