Speaker 1: Are we throwing Deborah into sayings like a fire tomorrow

24
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: faces for yawning during the show.

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to bring it up on some charges here,

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: all right, measure hla, My god, this is an LA

28
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: City thing, But I'm telling you it's coming to other cities.

29
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: You know what I just read. I was just bringing

30
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: an article.

31
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: It's just about about the election and the way things

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: shake out among people's beliefs. Do you know how many

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: people consider themselves progressives in this country? Six percent according

34
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: to the Pew Pole And then there's another poll which

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: had it at eight percent, So let's call it seven

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: seven percent progressive. And they're the ones behind all this nonsense,

37
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: whether it's homeless people living openly in the streets, open

38
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: air drug markets, defai, the police not prosecuting criminals, obsessed

39
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: with climate change, and forcing us to drive electric cars

40
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: that don't work with a charging system that barely exists.

41
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's about stripping traffic lanes out of

42
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: all our major roads in La county and replacing them

43
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: with bike lanes or bus lanes or curbing. This is

44
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: a road diet. This is what we fought seven years ago.

45
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: This all goes back to twenty fifteen, when the empty

46
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: headed buffoon Eric Arcetti came up with some plan called

47
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Mobility twenty fifteen, and it was about road diets, and

48
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: he was pushed by these far left wing, destructive, stupid progressives.

49
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: Every progressive idea I have seen in my life has

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: been stupid, and it must be stupid because only only

51
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: seven percent of the country supports this nonsense seven percent.

52
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how they got in charge of government

53
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: and the media, especially here in California. Most people don't

54
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: feel this way. They really don't. Most Democrats don't feel

55
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: this way. Most independent Republicans, obviously, they don't feel this way.

56
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: Most black people don't feel this way, Hispanics, whites. But

57
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 2: somehow all the.

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: Lunatics got in charge, and they have the megaphones and

59
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: they make the noise.

60
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: Let me tell you, having seen the road diet and.

61
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: Plia delray that we fought off a few years ago

62
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: and actually operated for a few weeks, it's a disaster.

63
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: You don't want this measure HLA. If I could vote,

64
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: you know what, I made ballot harvest myself and vote

65
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: against this ten times, I would commit voter fraud to

66
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: stop this measure HLA. That's how I feel. I will not,

67
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: of course that would be wrong, but that's the impulse

68
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: I have here. So you've got to vote knowing measure HLA.

69
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna take your calls on this in the next segment,

70
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: so you could call us at one eight hundred and

71
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: five to two oh one KFI four or against. I'll

72
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: listen to you. I won't yell, all right. If I

73
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: start yelling, you just tell me to stop.

74
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: Right.

75
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Want to be friendly to people who call it one

76
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: eight hundred and five to oh one KFI if you

77
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: want this massive road diet.

78
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: Now.

79
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: They claim here's their cover story, and then there's the

80
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: real story, and it's simple. The cover story is too

81
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: many people are getting run over. The real story is

82
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: they are climate fanatics and they think by squeezing us

83
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: out of traffic lanes on the boulevards, we'll finally give

84
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: up our cars and take buses and bike and then

85
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: the planet will be saved. Because they're religious sellings, they're fanatics.

86
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: You can't reason with them, right, it's nuts. Normal people

87
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: know it's nuts. But again, this seven percent seems to

88
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: control the world, especially in California. Well, I found another

89
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: story totally separate, and it's worth getting into on its

90
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: own merits, maybe tomorrow in detail, but it's this is

91
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: in cow matters. It's more it's significantly more deadly to

92
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: be homeless. Why are so many people dying?

93
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: See?

94
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: Why do you think the homeless people are dying? Do

95
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: we need a study on this? Apparently the death rate

96
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: has more than tripled in the last ten years. Well,

97
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: researchers are looking into this, and they have found guess what,

98
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: drug overdoses?

99
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 2: Who knew? Right? Can you believe it? Drug overdose? You

100
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: know what?

101
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: Something else that's killing is they're getting run over in traffic.

102
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: I saw this as like, yeah, bingo, that's why there's

103
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: more pedestrian deaths in the last ten years, because the

104
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: homelessness exploded in the last ten years. And most of

105
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: the people who most of the extra deaths we're having

106
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: are homeless people because they wander into the street, they

107
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: jump in the street, they're mentally ill, they're whacked out

108
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: on drugs and booze, and they get run over by cars,

109
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: especially in the dark, especially when the sun starts setting,

110
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: especially in in poor neighborhoods.

111
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: And that's the beginning and end of it.

112
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: If you don't have people, I guarantee you, If you

113
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: ban people from living in the street and parks and

114
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: in public places, I guarantee you, the pedestrian death rate

115
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: is going to go down. We do not need a

116
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: city wide road diet. What you need is go back

117
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: to making it illegal that you can't sleep in public

118
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: because it's those people that are getting run over.

119
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: Do you see how the domino effect here? You see

120
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: how this works.

121
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: You have one problem you don't take care of, and

122
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: what happens You end up with another problem, and another

123
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: problem and another problem, and next thing you know, they're

124
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: stripping away the lanes on Wilshire Boulevard, on Santa Monica Boulevard,

125
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: they're stripping away the lanes. While we want online, we

126
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: want to save lives.

127
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: No, you don't.

128
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: These are all climate fanatics. These these are these are

129
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: grown men in yellow spaces who ride bicycles, who get

130
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: funded by all these weirdo tech millionaires, and they're all

131
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: they're all climate fanatics. That's what it is. So we're

132
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: normal people. We need our cars. We bike on the

133
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: weekends on the beach or in the park. Nobody I know, nobody,

134
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: I know. You know anybody who bikes on Wilshire Boulevard

135
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of a Wednesday. No, yeah, nobody does.

136
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: We don't need a bike laying on Wilshire Boulevard. It's

137
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: not what people do. But that's that's their cover story. Oh, yes,

138
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: we got to make it safe for bicyclists. You know

139
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: how you're safe. You don't bike on the on the boulevards.

140
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: That's how you stay safe. That's what my mother told me.

141
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: Oh that was good advice.

142
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: She don't she goes, don't go, don't take your bike

143
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: on busy roads, stay in the neighborhood.

144
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: Right, makes sense. Your mother tell you that.

145
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 3: I think I just knew that. Or she say co playing, Yeah,

146
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 3: go plane traffic, don't come up.

147
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: You can make too much noise.

148
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 5: What happened to.

149
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: Debbi? Can you go run in traffic?

150
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 3: I told you that somebody's dad I was a little

151
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: girl and neighbor's dad said, Debbie, shut up.

152
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: I did talk a lot.

153
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 6: As a kid.

154
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: That doesn't shock me. One. Well, look at the career.

155
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: I'd show if you'd pick one person who's told his

156
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: little kid to shut up. All right, so we're going

157
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: to take your calls next on this. You want to

158
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: rub diet all the boulevards of Los Angeles eventually would

159
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: be it would be squeezed three lanes to two lanes,

160
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: two lanes to one lane both directions, less lanes for cars,

161
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: more room for bicycles, and then protective curbs or protective ballards.

162
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: Protective We got to protect the one the less than

163
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: one percent that bike in the middle of the day

164
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: and the other ninety nine percent of us we're going

165
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: to get squeezed. Traffic is going to back up for miles.

166
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: This is I mean, there's a lot of stupid progressive ideas.

167
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: This one is in the Hall of Fame. One eight

Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am

174
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 6: six forty.

175
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: We talked with John Tommy recommending him endorsing him for

176
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: La County District Attorney. We picked two candidates, he's one

177
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: of them, and listened to the interview on the iHeart

178
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: app John Cobelt Show on demand two o'clock hour. Okay,

179
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: let's go to the phones here. We are taking your

180
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: opinions on Measure h LA, which would put the whole

181
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: city on a road diet strip away planes in both

182
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: directions on all the major boulevards. Yeah, great idea, right,

183
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: like the traffic's not backed up enough. Let's start with Kurt. Uh,

184
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: you're on day five. Welcome, Go ahead.

185
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 7: All right, Well, thanks, I can tell you I live

186
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 7: in Long beachs They've done this there. It's a it's

187
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 7: a terrible, terrible idea. On Broadway, for example, leading from

188
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 7: Belmont Short to downtown. This dieted road now is very

189
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 7: dangerous when you drive on it.

190
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 5: Uh.

191
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 7: They added the bike lanes. There's no bicyclists. Nobody is

192
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 7: using the bike lanes. Yes. The poor businesses, oh my god,

193
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 7: they used to have. You could see the store and

194
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 7: you stop, you pull in your park, you go to

195
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 7: the store.

196
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: Nobody's going to the stores.

197
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 7: Stores are closing like crazy, up and down Broadway. This

198
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 7: was all our crazy former mayor, uh you know Garcia

199
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 7: did this. Now he's our former he's our current crazy congressman,

200
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 7: which he is even worse, but please don't let him

201
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 7: do it to La. They've ruined a lot of communities

202
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 7: are They did signed a bunch of empty bike ranes.

203
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: They did this on Venice Boulevard and it closed businesses

204
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,599
Speaker 1: because you can't park anywhere near these stores and restaurants.

205
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: It's stupid.

206
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 7: I mean the people that park. Now your car door

207
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 7: swings into the bike lane, you could knock out a bicyclist.

208
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: Were cardor if if there were ready.

209
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're right, it's all right, Thanks John.

210
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: All right, Kurt, thanks a lot. Brian, you're on CAFI.

211
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 8: Go ahead, h John. Obviously it's a big no. I've

212
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 8: worked in the city for twenty three years in law enforcement,

213
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 8: and here's basically what is going to do. Obviously, drivers

214
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 8: need to get from pointing to point b. Taking one

215
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 8: lane away from them basically pushes that normal driving traffic

216
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 8: on a major thoroughfare into a residential area. Now everybody

217
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 8: is going to use their ways to bypass these road diets,

218
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 8: and it's basically going to cause the residential areas to

219
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 8: be backed up. We've seen this in the Supulvita Pass

220
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 8: and the four or Fire Freeway. Whenever there's an accident

221
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 8: or somehow that's backed up, everybody uses Havenhurst or those

222
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 8: little side streets to bypass that major thoroughfare to get

223
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 8: past whatever accident or the four or five is just

224
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 8: backed up because that's normal traffic. It's going to push

225
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 8: these cars and they're going to be ticked off. And

226
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 8: do you think they're really going to drive twenty five

227
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 8: miles an hour in a residential area, No, to get

228
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 8: to get through traffic. No. So it's going to cause

229
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 8: more of a hazard to the kids, to the people

230
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 8: walking their dogs, biking, their biking on their streets in

231
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 8: the residential area. It's going to put them more in

232
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 8: a position of being in jeopardy of being hit by

233
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 8: a car. When these cars should be on the major

234
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 8: thoroughfares to get to work, to get from point A

235
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 8: to point B.

236
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: That's what it's there for, all right, Brian, thanks very

237
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: much your apps right, And there's so many reasons to

238
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: stop this road diet madness. They've been tried. They don't work.

239
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: I told you I saw the one ply del Ray.

240
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: You just heard Kurt call in about the one uh

241
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: and ones in Long Beach. They're terrible. They they actually

242
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: close businesses down. It destroys parking, and there's no there's

243
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: no bicyclists because nobody normal rides a bike in the

244
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: middle of the day, just weirdos. Not during the week,

245
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: not you're in business hours, school hours, nobody rides a bike.

246
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm just beside myself that that this is going it's

247
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: bizarre fanatics and it's and they sell it for pedestrian safety. No,

248
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: it's not a pedestrian safety issue. It's homeless people getting

249
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: run over in the dark at night because they're all

250
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: drugged out. I mean, well, I gotta take it. We're

256
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,680

Speaker 1: we gotta get guests going out. Another thing we're voting

267
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: on in La City is uh Measure h LA, which

268
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: is an atrocity. It would it would be a city

269
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: wide road diet. They would be they would be stripping

270
00:14:54,640 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: lanes out of every major boulevard, every major avenue in

271
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: the city and no kidding, and it's going to replace

272
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: it with more bike lanes or bus lanes, and they're

273
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of the parking along the curb. It's

274
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: a disaster where it's been tried. We thought this off

275
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: seven years ago. The stupid woke progressives at the La

276
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: Times wrote an alleged news story that says Measure l

277
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: HLA pits safety advocates against firefighters, right, because firefighters they're not.

278
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: Into safety, right.

279
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: They only saved people from burning buildings and they rescue

280
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: people having heart attacks.

281
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: But they're not into safety.

282
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: It's just they want to be able to drive their

283
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: fire trucks and their ambulances around and impeded by all

284
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: these blocked off lanes. This is really really crazy. It's

285
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: not about safety. The people who are getting a run

286
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: over the increase that those are homeless people. You get

287
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: the homeless people off the street, the carnage that drops

288
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: by half. You'll see why don't you get the homeless

289
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: people off the street first? See who's right? But you know,

290
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: really these are climate fanatics and believe me, stripping. Stripping

291
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: lanes is going to create more traffic. We are going

292
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: to have our cars idling in the traffic even longer.

293
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: So it's not helping the climate. It's not helping the

294
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: pollution in the city. Let's go to the phones one

295
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: eight hundred and five to oh one KFI and take

296
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: calls on this on how you feel about this measure?

297
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: H LA, It's very important. This also really affects the

298
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: quality of life. Susie, you're on KF, I go ahead,

299
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: thank you.

300
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: Two reasons I saw this happen on Motor and Cheviot Hills.

301
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 4: They thought they would stop all the traffic coming from

302
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: Fox Studios going down motor Well, it didn't. It's just

303
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 4: made it worse and worse and worse and made life

304
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 4: to Chevid Hills impossible. I had a friend that lived there.

305
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 4: My other reason is very selfish. I'm totally blanding. They

306
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 4: take paratransit, and if they block off all the streets,

307
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 4: the van won't build a pull over. I won't build

308
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 4: to go anywhere because I can't get to where I'm going.

309
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 4: If I have dropped off, it's some parking lot two

310
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 4: blocks away or something. But it also, you know, the pollution,

311
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 4: the traffic. I think it's ridiculous. I'm pro business, and

312
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 4: I just think it's horrible.

313
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just don't want us to live our lives.

314
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: Everything we do offends them. Susie, thank you for calling.

315
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks for listening too.

316
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 2: Abo. I get that right, Abo, you're on, can't I

317
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 2: go ahead?

318
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 9: Thank you? So I travel up to four or five

319
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 9: through the valley and uh, one day like if it's

320
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 9: really bad, I'll get off and take Supulvida. And I

321
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 9: hadn't done it in a while, so one day it

322
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 9: was like really bad, I exit Ventura and to my surprise,

323
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 9: the three lanes on Sepulvida were down to two because

324
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 9: they put in one of those bike lanes.

325
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: Oh no, not on sul on Supulvit. Oh no.

326
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 9: I mean, do you want to talk about traffic at

327
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 9: all the major streets. The traffic was backed up so

328
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 9: bad people were going into the bike lane to use

329
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 9: the lane to move forward.

330
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I do. Yeah, a lot of people

331
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: drive on bike lanes. And what section suppulvid is this again?

332
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: What part of the city.

333
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 9: Well, this was from Ventura all the way up to

334
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 9: the one eighteen.

335
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: Oh good lord. If you take those everybody knows.

336
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 1: If you're on the freeway and one lane gets closed

337
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: because of an accident or construction, that's it.

338
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 2: Traffic gets backed up for miles. And here they're just

339
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: taking taking.

340
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: Away the lanes and nobody is biking in these lanes.

341
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: Nobody.

342
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's the other thing. Guess how many people are

343
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 9: in the bike lane? Zero?

344
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: Zero?

345
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 9: I have one person in the bike.

346
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, zero.

347
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: Because it's about and they know this, Okay, the bike

348
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: groups know this. They're punishing us. They want to force

349
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: us out of our cars to punish us because of

350
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: their climate philosophy.

351
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 2: You know.

352
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 9: Another quick story. So yeah, on Foothill, they have, you know,

353
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 9: just those small bike lanes, you know, the normal ones,

354
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 9: not where they take up a whole lane. So I'm

355
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 9: going down foothill and there's this biker. Instead of being

356
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 9: in the bike lane, he was in the car lane.

357
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 9: And as I go around him, they're like, hey, they

358
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 9: put the bike lane in for you. Aren't you using it?

359
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 9: You had the nerve to flip me off. Yeah, those

360
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 9: bike people, I think there's a screws or something.

361
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, now that most of them are really obnoxious. The

362
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: few that are out there, thank you very much for calling.

363
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 9: Thanks for taking my call.

364
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Kurt. You're on CAF. I

365
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: go ahead.

366
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 10: Hey John, Hey, hey, so you hit the nail on

367
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 10: the head when you say it about the fire trucks

368
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 10: not being able to, you know, get to where they

369
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 10: need to quickly. I've this is I'm in Resida and

370
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 10: I've lived there for twenty five years, and on Receiva

371
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 10: Boulevard between Nordoff and Victory Boulevard, they've done this road

372
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 10: ninth You're gonna road diet nonsense, And I've literally witnessed

373
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 10: fire trucks stuck in the middle of the road not

374
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 10: being able to go because of the traffic is so

375
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 10: backed up.

376
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: It's physics, right, you can't. You can't fit ten pounds

377
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: into a five pound bag. If you strip away one

378
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: of three lanes, that's a third less room for the cars.

379
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 10: It is so stupid. They have cars parking in the

380
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 10: middle of the street, and then you have this gap

381
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 10: between the curb and where the cars are carved for bicycles.

382
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 10: And I haven't seen one bicycle past there.

383
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 8: No, you have one.

384
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: You could grow old waiting for a bike to pass

385
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: you on a major boulevard. Just nobody does that. Kurt,

386
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: thanks very very much for the call. Let me squeeze

387
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: one more in here. Mona, mona, you're on CAF, I go.

388
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: Ahead, thank you.

389
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 5: Yes. I'm in Garden Grove in Orange County and they've

390
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 5: recently the last couple of months put in the bike lanes.

391
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 5: It's taken up so much space. It's on Gilbert, it's

392
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 5: right across the street from the fire station, Walmart and

393
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 5: into a residential area. I have witnessed two accidents. People

394
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 5: use the merging lane for racing, trying to get in

395
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 5: front of everyone else as some of them, even though

396
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 5: the arrow shows it goes to the street. Some people

397
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 5: have to go in that lane to go into the

398
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 5: tract of homes and it's creating a lot of traffic hazards.

399
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 5: It's congesting. It's a very busy street, Gilbert, and now

400
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 5: there's just always cars there. It's terrible.

401
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: Now I don't know anybody who likes them, and I

402
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: don't know how they get through with that.

403
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 2: Communities.

404
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: Well, it happened once when we help Plia del Rey

405
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: that that area stop the road diet. But this is,

406
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: this is what, this is what all the normal people

407
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: have to do to stop this nonsense.

408
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 5: And I hardly see any bicycles. May I say something

409
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 5: else as well?

410
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead.

411
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 5: I don't know if I need to call to call

412
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 5: back or what. But I had a couple of comments

413
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 5: about the homeless situation.

414
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: Well I'm a veteran, you know what, another time because

415
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: I got to take a break. And you'll always have

416
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: the Moistlaine. You know you can go to the moistline

417
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 1: eight seven seven moist eighty six. Thank you Mona for

418
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: calling in. There's we got more come it up. In fact,

419
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 1: since you brought up the homeless, I'll get to that

420
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: other story. Regarding the homeless and them, well the different

421
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: ways that they expire in the streets, and one of

422
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: them is being run over by cars. Because when you

423
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: live in the street, you'll die in the street.

424
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: That's next.

425
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six.

426
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: Forty moistline one, eight seven moist eighty six. Last call

427
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: because tomorrow is today and we had some vacancies eight

428
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: seven seven moist eighty six.

429
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: So let it rip.

430
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: You're gonna let it rip about the the road diets

431
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: that could come to LA. Remember, vote no on Measure HLA.

432
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 1: No on Measure HLA in the city of Los Angeles.

433
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: Boy oh boy, that better not pass. That's going to

434
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: really change the world. Also, John Hattammi, we're endorsing him

435
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: for LA District Attorney against gas Cone. And we have

436
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: a half hour interview that we did today. So that's

437
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: an hour two of the podcast. All right, this is

438
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: the thing I mentioned before. Cal Matters headline says, it's

439
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: significantly more deadly to be homeless. Why are so many

440
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: people dying? They needed to study for this. That was

441
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: like to study a couple of weeks ago that they

442
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: found that women's brains are different than men's brains. Yeah,

443
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: we study that for one hundreds of years, and they

444
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: just figured it out the other day. Well, they studied

445
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: deaths on the streets for the last ten years. We

446
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: actually from twenty eleven to twenty twenty, the death rate

447
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: tripled among homeless people. Why is this, why do you think?

448
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: Say the answer at home to yourself. It's yes, it's

449
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: because drug overdoses have skyrocketed. Right the number, the death

450
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: rate has increased by two hundred and thirty eight percent.

451
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: And Matthew Fowley is the co author of the study

452
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: from the University of Pennsylvania, and he says, it's unlike

453
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: any other mortality trend that we have seen. It's comparable

454
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: to a natural disaster or a war. The rate of increase,

455
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: So there's a lot more homeless and the rate of

456
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: death is higher. So there's a lot more dead homeless

457
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: people around. And overdoses was a major role, but other

458
00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: things were. Oh, traffic injuries, Yes, that's what caused this,

459
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: is the pedestrian death increase in La City. Rud diets

460
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: aren't going to fix that because they're still going to

461
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: be drunk, drugged up, mentally ill, and they're going to

462
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: be stumbling around in the dark in the street and

463
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: they'll get run over.

464
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: That's what's causing this.

465
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: Take the homeless out and you'll see the death rate

466
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: is going to go down from traffic hits.

467
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 2: Also, shockingly, things might.

468
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: Be avoided if they had a home, would be heat

469
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: and cold exposure.

470
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 2: Well, there's a shock. Huh.

471
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: Really, they get overheated and they die in the summer,

472
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: and they're too cold and they die in the winter. Right,

473
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: this is why you go to work. This is why

474
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: you start working while you're in school, and you continue

475
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: working for the rest of your life for the next

476
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: fifty to sixty years. You go to work, then you

477
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: will have a roof and four walls. Doesn't have to

478
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: be fancy, but you'll have it. And that little hovel

479
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: you have is going to have heat and air conditioning.

480
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: All you have to do is go to work. Do

481
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: not inject yourself with fentanyl or heroin. Do not snort meth.

482
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: If you don't snort meth and inject fentanyl, you will

483
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: be able to go to work. And then you'll have

484
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: a house or an apartment, and then you'll have heat

485
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: and you'll have air conditioning. How about that, and then

486
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: if you get sick, you'll be able to pay for

487
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: your doctor or pay for your health insurance. This all

488
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: goes back to deciding to go to work instead of

489
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: injecting something like heroin into your system. It's not that

490
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: hard conways here.

491
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 2: Hey, now, what is fentanyl?

492
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 11: Is Is that an associated with fentanyl or fentanyl or

493
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 11: is that the same thing.

494
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: It's like a much more intense form of morphine rowin.

495
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: I got to look into that. Hey, we have a

496
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 2: Dean Sharp. You should try some.

497

Speaker 11: Sharp's coming out list at six twenty. He's at one

499
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,000

00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 11: cool stuff this year, a lot of really cool stuff.

501
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 11: Also sho, Hey Otani got married. Did you see that story?

502
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 2: I did.

503
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 11: Guy doesn't doesn't tell anybody he's the biggest He's the

504
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 11: biggest sports star in the world right now, and nobody

505
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 11: knew he got married.

506
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: I like that he's a private life.

507
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 11: I have a theory on why that happened, though. I

508
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 11: think there's a Taylor Swift connection to it. I think

509
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 11: Taylor Swift is going to break up with this. Uh,

510
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 11: you know, Jar head and she wanted to get in

511
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 11: on the baseball publicity because she saw how great the

512
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 11: football publicity.

513
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 2: Do you think he married Taylor Swift?

514
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 11: I think he wanted she wanted to marry him, and

515
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 11: he finally, you know, put his foot down.

516
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 2: So I can't deal with that. I can't do it.

517
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 2: Who are your sources for this?

518
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 11: I can't reveal. Maybe you're on Fittael already. It sounds

519
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 11: like Lenn Champeau. But anyway, so we got that going on.
