Speaker 2: o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand the podcast you can

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: listen to what you miss. For example, last hour, we

8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 2: had Tom McClintock on talking about a bill that he

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: got passed in the House to block any Hamas terrorists

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: from entering the country. All of them would be blocked

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: even if they claim asylum, and they would never get

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: any money from US should they happen to steak in.

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: He got two dissenters on that. The vote was four

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: twenty two to two, two of the Squad members, Corey

15
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: Bush and Rashida Talib. We talked with Tom about that

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: and just about the insane immigration policy from the Biden

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: White House, and also how Iron has been getting away

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: literally with murder up until till today and we're finally

19
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: finally fighting back and bombing their militia installations in Iraq

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: and Syria. And they attacked US one hundred and sixty

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: six times, but they killed three soldiers last Sunday. So

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: finally now we're striking back. You know, our soldiers had

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: to die before they took action. First one hundred and

24
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: sixty five attacks around got for free anyway, listening to

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: McClintock because he's really I can count on one hand

26
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: the number of public figures who talk since he's one

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: of them. There's almost nobody else these days. All right,

28
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 2: we're going to talk now with Alex Stone ABC News.

29
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you've seen this schlubby teenage guy,

30
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: Alan Fillion. He has spent a lot of time in

31
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: the last few years running a swatting service.

32
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

33
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: Online, you could pay and he'd send a swat team

34
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: to whatever target you choose. In America. It's hard to

35
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: believe this went on so long. Let's get to alexand

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: to explain it, Eda, John, Yeah, the swatting problem has

37
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: grown incredibly over the last couple of years across the country,

38
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: really around the world, where it is all day, every

39
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: day for some police departments. In our newsroom, we have

40
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: a service that looks at algorithms of social media things

41
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: that are happening and police scanners nationwide and lets us

42
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: know early when there's something in all day long, we

43
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: get active shooter, active shooter, active shooter, and most of

44
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: them are I mean pretty much all of them are

45
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: swatting calls.

46
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: And it's just everywhere, whether it be.

47
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania, Washington, California, all over the place, and the law

48
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 2: enforcement is trying to battle this problem. These are calls

49
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: being made by Sometimes a caller just wants to see

50
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: the massive police response. That that's what excites them is

51
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: seeing police racing in with the lights going and the

52
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 2: sirens and cops running in with their rifles out. Sometimes

53
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 2: it's to get back at an enemy, to have them

54
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 2: come to the enemy's house. Sometimes it's to create havoc,

55
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: or to get out of a test in class, you know,

56
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: like a bomb hoax would have been years ago, because

57
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: you're not ready for that test that you call something

58
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: like this, and all kinds of reasons.

59
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: But it is.

60
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: A major issue now of how they're going to deal

61
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: with this. I got to spend time with the FBI

62
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: out of Boston. They've got a federal agent who he

63
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: now specializes and has become the foremost world's expert on

64
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: swatting calls and dealing with ways to try to overcome

65
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: this problem, Brian LeBlanc, and he explained to us the

66
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: background on these things, and here's what he told us.

67
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: Some cases, it's revenge. And that's really where swatting came from,

68
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: was from the gaming community where individuals were playing each

69
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: other in the first person shooter games and they wanted

70
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: to take out their opponents, so they would call in

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 4: a swating to their house so that the police would

72
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 4: come and then they could lose their game.

73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: So last year there was a swatting incident in Orlando.

74
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: The caller claimed that he was about to carry out

75
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: a man shooting at a mosque, and police gave us

76
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: that call. He called in and said this.

77
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, hello, this is Sanford Police Department on a recorded line.

78
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 6: My name is Michelle.

79
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 7: Can I help you?

80
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: And at the end there was gunfire. He said he

81
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: was doing it.

82
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 2: They were sound effects, but police didn't know that necessarily

83
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: at the time. But now these swatters will add in

84
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: gunfire and screaming. And was that Alan phillion on that

85
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: that was him right there? If you're a mass shooting

86
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: in the name of Satan, yeah, well, and then he

87
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: started yelling out, you know God is great and all

88
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: this stuff. I mean, this was the end of the call,

89
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: and so you know, then they sent a response not

90
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: knowing if it was real or not, and turned out

91
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: to not be real. But in that case in Florida

92
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: went back they were able to trace it to this

93
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: seventeen year old sitting in his bedroom in Lancaster out

94
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: in the desert, Alan Fillion, who they claim has been.

95
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: This swatter for a hire so online.

96
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 2: He's had this price list forty bucks to swat a

97
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: medic fire ghastly commergency, fifty bucks for major police response,

98
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: seventy five for a bomb threat or a mass shooting case.

99
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: He had the.

100
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: Technology to add in the sound effects screaming, gunfire, all

101
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: that block any tracing of the call. Not well enough,

102
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: because now they've got him. California's extra guided them too. Florida,

103
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: he is in has been in court this week in Florida.

104
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: He has heard the charges against him, standing there in

105
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: his yellow jumpsuit. He heard this, wore counts, including Florida's

106
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: going with a terrorism count against him. I mean, this

107
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: is serious stuff. But they now believe, as they've been

108
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: putting this all together, he is responsible for dozens, if

109
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 2: not hundreds of these all over the US that this

110
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: is the guy who has been doing it all out

111
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: of his bedroom seventeen years old in Lancaster, I mean

112
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: everywhere from They've got him in Ohio, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Maryland, California.

113
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 2: He's been using a claim an encrypted messenger to set

114
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: these up with people where they would then pay him.

115
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: He called himself Tor Swats on line and the FBI

116
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: tracked him down by piecing together the a trail of

117
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: Lord of the Rings related user names that they figured

118
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: out it was the same guy. Then it all went

119
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: back to this kid sitting in it at home and

120
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 2: now he could be facing a bunch more charges.

121
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: He's got the Florida charges, but a bunch more could

122
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: be coming. But this is nuts.

123
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: Hundreds of calls, yeah, potentially that he was doing this

124
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 2: and making money, that he had made a business out

125
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 2: of it, and this can be deadly. There's a documentary

126
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 2: on Netflix Netflix about a twenty seventeen case in Wichita

127
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: where it was a kid playing a video game in

128
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: la who wanted to get He was angry at this

129
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: kid he was playing against in Wichita called in a

130
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: fake shooting call but gave the wrong address. Police went

131
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night to the wrong address.

132
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: Not their fault, but you know that's the address they

133
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: were given and the homeowner came out not knowing what

134
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: was going on in the middle of the night with

135
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: spotlights and loud speakers, and he was shot and killed

136
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: and by police that they go in with. You know,

137
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,559
Speaker 2: the adrenaline is running high, thinking there's an active shooter

138
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: in there. They've got their rifles out, and people end

139
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: up dying. And Agent LeBlanc, he was explaining as well

140
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: that they are now telling law enforcement, the FBI is

141
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: advising them take a beat, slow down too. Many of

142
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: these are not real. When you get an active shooter call,

143
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: try to figure it out. They can now there are

144
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: signs in some of these calls.

145
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: You told us this, These.

146
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 4: Calls actually have characteristics that can be used to identify

147
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 4: them as hoaxes pretty early on in the process, and

148
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: based on that you can have a measured response. We're

149
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 4: not saying don't have any response. We're saying, have a

150
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 4: measured response.

151
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: But you know, with some of this, these callers now

152
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: John that they are figuring out how to make multiple

153
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: calls come in because typically if it were a real

154
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: active shooter you'd be getting more than one, you know.

155
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: Now they can make the board light up with victims

156
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: quote unquote victims calling in and getting multiple ones, and

157
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: they can be a hoax even then that now with AI,

158
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: there's all kinds of skies of it. But with artificial intelligence,

159
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: you could make them sound more credible. Yeah, and have

160
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: you know two hundred people if they wanted to. So

161
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: they they're battling an uphill battle. But this kid seems

162
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: to have been the most prolific swatting guy in the

163
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: in the country, doing a lot of these, hopefully knocking

164
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: him out of the mix. That these will go way down.

165
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: But there are others who were out there, but this

166
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: seems to have been kind of the ring leader and

167
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: they were able to trace him back again it was

168
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: get a Lord of the Rings that took him down.

169
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: It's always these nerdy geek lead social misfits. These gamer

170
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: guys are really some of them can be bad news.

Speaker 1: Take a look at this guy.

174
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: He's a loser, he's a slub, he's overweight, long hair,

175
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: you could tell he's got no friends. Lives his whole

176
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: life staring at his screen. Parents must be a piece

Speaker 2: bombs around an FBI facility and they going to explode

183
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: in thirty minutes. And then there were FBI offices in

184
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City and San Antonio and it's all the same guy.

185
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: Now.

186
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: His final one that led him to getting caught was

187
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,520

Speaker 2: five dollars. He had a whole menu. Boy, how socially

193
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: these guys gamers. Yeah, they spent all their lives in

194
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: the basement, pale and capable of having any kind of relationship,

Speaker 2: from you to BAP time.

208
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 7: What's the point with the train that's gonna go to Vegas.

209
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 7: I'm an Irvine right, so if I'm going to take

210
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 7: this train, I have to get on the train depot

211
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 7: in Irvine, go to downtown La Then I have to

212
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 7: Rancho Kuka Manga, switch trains to the buzz train. It

213
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 7: actually faster to drive from Irvine to Las Vegas then

214
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 7: take this train.

215
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 9: John, shame on you for making fun of the President

216
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 9: Biden after that brewery.

217
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 10: What kind of system is this where you can get

218
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 10: fooed for doing something, and you get convicted or you

219
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 10: get found guilty or whatever, but you maintain your innocence

220
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 10: and then you get sued for defination because you're maintaining

221
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 10: your innocence, so you get sued against.

222
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 6: So if you just continually say you're innocent.

223
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 11: It's just an insane world we live in now, where

224
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 11: illegal immigrants have rights. Almost people have rights, squatters have rights,

225
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 11: criminals have rights.

226
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: My local school district, the virtual classes just canceled something

227
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 3: from the covid era and they got an f from

228
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 3: the government. The reality is the real school district, the

229
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 3: brick and mortar one. They should get a D as well,

230
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 3: but nobody's selling the stories. Basically America is getting a D.

231
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 2: I would describe California as red lights and leaf blowers.

232
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: It's all red lights and leap blowers.

233
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 12: The reason they stole the dog is because they need

234
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 12: drug money. They're going to sell the dog to get

235
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 12: drug money. In fact, that's why all this crime is happening.

236
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 12: Don't you see the connection vent and al China drug money.

237
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,119
Speaker 13: We are being led by a group of people actively

238
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 13: trying to change this country from what it was founded.

239
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 13: As Barack Obama said it, we are going to change

240
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 13: this country. Well, when you look at it like that,

241
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 13: everything they do makes sense, doesn't it. Why do you

242
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 13: think President Biden and Kamala Harris will not go to

243
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 13: the border. Thousands of people a day. Calling out over

244
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 13: the border is a violation of federal law, and they

245
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 13: would be witnessed to it, making them culpable. Boom, there's

246
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 13: your impeachment.

247
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 14: Don't you understand why government workers are so lousy? Number one,

248
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 14: they can't get a job anyplace else they're so incompetent.

249
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 14: Then they also take government jobs because they know they

250
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 14: can't be fired when they screw up. They can screw

251
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 14: up multiple times and they keep their jobs. That's why

252
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 14: you are so right.

253
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 5: About Zuckerberg Facebook.

254
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 15: Hey, I think it's time to bring it their bus

255
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 15: to the United States. And Debra, I use a pairing

256
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 15: knife while I'm driving to cut avocados in half and

257
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 15: eat them in the car. I've got high knees them

258
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 15: so i can steer.

259
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: Vote out Scorge Gascon. Gascone is the Scorge of Los Angeles.

260
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 2: Vote out Scorge Gascon.

261
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 6: Ladies and gentlemen. If met Batics knew how much copper

262
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 6: is in every one of these chargers, we would never

263
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 6: have to worry about seeing another stupid tesla again.

264
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 10: Little Debbie, I don't think you want John Covel eating

265
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 10: kimchi and then being confined to the small space.

266
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: Of the studio.

267
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 16: I would highly recommend against it.

268
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 9: Just heard your DMV segment paid mine with a check

269
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 9: good day after I got the notice in the mail,

270
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 9: So that's what about three months ahead of time before

271
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 9: it expires. GAT the registration, got the newstickers.

272
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 17: Two months later.

273
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 9: The DMV finally casts a check. So I'm not sure

274
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 9: who's running the circus up there, but they need a

275
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 9: new lion tim or a gist.

276
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 16: Democrats are generally stupid. They're not smart people. Everything they

277
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 16: based their decisions on is emotions and feelings, not logic

278
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 16: in thoughts. Not much you can do about that, but.

279
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 3: Listen to these people.

280
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 16: They are rulers, dictators, authoritarians. They are not servants. They

281
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 16: do not see themselves like that. They are dangerous, nasty,

282
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 16: nasty people. And you know what far as feelings and

283
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 16: all that goes, everybody can just their feelings.

00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: Priority one here is gascone out, So you start voting

315
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: against Gascone beginning Tuesday or Wednesday. As soon as you

316
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: get this thing in the mail. Let's go those your orders.

317
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 8: Listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am six forty.

318
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 2: We'll give you the latest on US bombing the Iranian

319
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: militias in Syria and a rock after three of our

320
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: soldiers got killed last Sunday. Now today's retaliation day. But

321
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: the news is coming in very slowly there. I think

322
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: one of the moistline callers said something about everything goes

323
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 2: back to the drugs. Well, got a handle here on

324
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: what happened to those three football fans in Kansas City.

325
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs fans, A group of them got together

326
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: at a buddy's house, Jordan Willis, it was his house,

327
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: and David Harrington, Clayton mcgreeney, and Ricky Johnson watched the

328
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: Chiefs win on January ninth, I think that was the

329
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 2: first round of the playoffs. And then they leave, they

330
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 2: say they're goodbyes, and they only get as far as

331
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 2: the backyard and two days later, they're all found frozen

332
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 2: to death in the backyard, and Jordan Willis never left

333
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 2: the house for those two days, and he claims he

334
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 2: slept the whole time. So you have three guys who

335
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: passed out and froze to death and one guy claiming

336
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: to be.

337
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: Not operable for two days. What happened?

338
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: It seemed obvious it was drugs, and now we're finding out.

339
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: According to News Nation, the reporter we had on about

340
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 2: this story earlier this week, Alex Capriello, he posted that

341
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: the toxicology reports are in. Family members have seen the

342
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: report and one family member told Alex that cocaine, fentanyl,

343
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 2: and THHC showed up in the preliminary results. Well, that's

344
00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 2: a hell of a cocktail cocaine and fentanil. And the

345
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 2: family source said level ten fentanyl is enough to kill.

346
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 2: These three guys were at level thirty. They had triple

347
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: the fentanyl that would kill a normal person. So that's

348
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: why they were found frozen to death. And Jordan Willis

349
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: himself probably had a good dose that he was so

350
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 2: passed out he checked himself into rehab. Turns out, and

351
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: this part I couldn't believe when Alex told us he's

352
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: he's an HIV scientist. He works on vaccines. His nickname

353
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: in the group was the Chemist. So it is drugs.

354
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: Of course, Willis's attorney is claiming that his client did

355
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 2: nothing wrong. No, I think if you feed your friends

356
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: ten times to be on a fentyl that's necessary to kill,

357
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 2: you've done some nothing wrong here, Not to mention the

358
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: cocaine and the THHC. Good lord, what happened to having

359
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,479
Speaker 2: a six pack of beer? Is getting a beer buzz?

360
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: So bad?

361
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 2: Heyes, because when you're on fentanyl, even if you just

362
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 2: take a non lethal dose, you become a zombie. It's

363
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: not like you're exhilarated and high and bouncing off walls.

364
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: Of course, they were taking cocaine and they were taking

365
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: taking fananel, so that sends you up and down. And

366
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: another drug story. Oregon may have the stupidest voters of

367
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: the country. You think it's California, it means you haven't

368
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: been to Oregon. Do you know they basically legalized hard

369
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 2: drugs in Oregon three years ago. I mean, they call

370
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: it the criminalization, but here's the penalty. This is a

371
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: story out of Yahoo dot com. They talk about a

372
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: police officer named Eli Arnold stops a homeless guy who's

373
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 2: smoking meth on the street in Portland, which is common,

374
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 2: and you know what the penalty was, rune him a ticket,

375
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars fine. Why do you have thousands of

376
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 2: people dying on the streets in Portland? There you go

377
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: and the cop says, call this number, gives them a

378
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 2: card with a telephone number. Call this number and they'll

379
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 2: ask you if you want treatment. If you call the number,

380
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: the ticket goes away. Because in February twenty twenty one,

381
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: possession and use of all drugs everything, cocaine, heroin, fentdyl, ecstasy,

382
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 2: all of it's decriminalized. All of it is one hundred

383
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: dollars ticket that you get out of if you call

384
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 2: a phone number.

385
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: You don't even have to follow up beyond it. You

386
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: just call the phone number. What did it bother? And

387
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: now they're upset because.

388
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 2: There were almost one thousand fatal overdoses in twenty twenty two,

389
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: triple the number triple.

390
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: And then they didn't even know all.

391
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 2: The numbers in yet for twenty twenty three, but they

392
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 2: had six hundred in six months, so you're looking at

393
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 2: at least twelve hundred. So it's gone from three hundred

394
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: to almost one thousand to twelve hundred in two years.

395
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 2: And now the voters in Oregon are going, maybe we

396
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 2: were wrong, maybe this didn't work out. They profile one

397
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 2: guy here, an attic, James Lows's name. A number of

398
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: his friends have died from fentanyl overdoses. He has saved

399
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: fifty people who owe deed by giving him the lock zone.

400
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 2: So he's walking the streets trying to revive all these

401
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: half dead fentanyl at it. He had a good college

402
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 2: basketball career going, but he got injured and he ended

403
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: up on oxy codone and ended in with fetenil, and

404
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: he told a reporter, I need to get my act

405
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: together and change. This is a time to reflect a

406
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 2: few weeks later, he got arrested for shoplifting. I'm sorry

407
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 2: he's going to end up dead. So the residents think

408
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 2: that the criminalization had been a failure, that the whole

409
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 2: city of Portland is an open air drug market, which

410
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 2: by the way, happened in San Francisco too. If you

411
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: see anybody pushing for this, just look this up online.

412
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 2: Now it's an entirely this base. Surprise you. The entire

413
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: state is controlled by Democrats, legislature, the governor of the

414
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: whole thing, and they're thinking now of maybe amending the

415
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: legislation and find these people a thousand plus dollars thirty

416
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 2: days in jail if you're caught with hard drugs. They

417
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 2: did not. They were supporters of this stupid proposition. Say well,

418
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: the state was supposed to provide treatment. They were supposed

419
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 2: to treat drugs as a medical issue, but we never

420
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: They never do spend the money to do treatment.

421
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: They never have. They don't do mental health treatment.

422
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 2: They've been promising that in California for fifty years, since

423
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 2: they close the mental institutions. They never do it. They

424
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 2: steal the money. Nobody gets help. There's no drug treatment,

425
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 2: there's no mental health treatment. Drug addicts are not forced

426
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 2: to get the treatment anyway. That's the problem with Prop

427
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: forty seven. Here, all you end up with is dead

428
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: bodies in the street. You just want to smack yourself

429
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: in the head. It's like, what's the point of having

430
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: hundreds or thousands of dead bodies in the street. What's

431
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: the upside of this idiotic? Stupid progressive policies are stupid, period,

432
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: They're stupid progressive policies do not work. Upid you end

433
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 2: up with dead people.

434
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: That's it.

435
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: Case closed, nothing else to say. When we come back,

436
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,239
Speaker 2: Deborah Mark is, well, she's gonna do the news down

437
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 2: and then we're going to have another round of the

438
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 2: moist Line. Maybe we have more avocado consumption tips. What

439
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: did that guy in the last thing?

440
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 18: While he's driving, he pairs an avocado and he says

441
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 18: he has long legs or long knee knee something. Yeah, right,

442
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 18: so he's able to put the avocado in between his knees.

443
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 2: And pairs it, you know, and then and then maneuver's

444
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: the steering wheel with his knees while he's cutting the avocado.

445
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 18: That's not safe. I thought it was very funny, but

446
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 18: not not safe.

447
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: That's not safe. Nothing gets by you.

448
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 3: I'm a smart one.

449
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

450
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI Am

451
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 8: six forty, a.

452
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: Final round of the Moistline for today eight seven seven

453
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: moist eighty six. If you want in next week eight

454
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 2: seven seven eighty six, let's go.

455
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 3: Hey, it's John.

456
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling them Oistline. I'm so excited to hear

457
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: from you. To BAP time.

458
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 17: John, you're acting surprised that the DMV workers are apathetic

459
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 17: about when they take other people's money. This is always

460
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 17: the way it's going to be. You never care about

461
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 17: other people's money going to other people. You only care

462
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 17: about your money and what you get for it. So

463
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 17: this is basic to human nature, and the leftist and

464
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 17: comedies just keep trying to convince otherwise their utopian ideals

465
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 17: that are never going to happen.

466
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 9: Ever.

467
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 19: Yeah, John, we're being set up, man, all this battery

468

Speaker 6: Well, I'll tell you what.

471
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 19: We're being set up pretty good because on top of that,

472
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 19: China's lining up the pockets.

473
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:56,719
Speaker 9: John, you nailed it.

474
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 20: I've been claiming for years that we all got screwed

475
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 20: by Elkswagen when they set up that faux charging network

476
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 20: at a much reduced rate from what the fine would

477
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 20: have been for having broken the EPA loss.

478
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 8: I work with a telephone company.

479
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:13,200

Speaker 16: Problem and always steal the copper wire.

481
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 21: What a lot of people don't realize though you're talking

482
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 21: about them prosecuting.

483
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 9: You make a good point, but a lot of people

484
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 9: don't realize.

485
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 16: That willful destruction of a public utility is a felony.

486
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 21: Whether that's a.

487
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 9: Copper wire for the lights, or copper wire for the phones,

488
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 9: or copper pipes for plumbing.

489
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 16: You know, if it's a public utility, it's a felony.

490
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 22: I got the best way to stop street takeovers. You

Speaker 21: I want to talk to people.

510
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 23: First it was the homeless, then it was people experiencing homelessness.

511
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 23: Now it's unsheltered. A rose is a rose is a

518
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,239
Speaker 21: who put them in these places of authority. We are

519
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 21: the ones that need to wake up, open our eyes,

520
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 21: get informed so that we know that we're putting people

00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 21: in there that'll get the job done.

522
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 11: All these people who work in the factory, they're just

525
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 11: No one wants to be known as a tattletail.

526
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 16: But that's why they didn't tattletail on each other, because

527
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 16: they go, oh, that guy's.

528
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 11: A fish, that guy is nisch, and so that's what

529
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 11: it is. It's just beautiful to being scared to being

00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 24: copper wire, but it's going to cost six million dollars

547
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 24: to reinstall it.

548
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:09,360

554
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 24: install twenty thousand dollars worth of cable? Krozier could do

555
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 24: it for three million. We're bombing other countries.

556
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:22,040

560
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 24: to cover this and find out what's going on in

561
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 24: the Middle East.

562
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: All right, very good?

563
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 24: I mean that's about it, right, I mean a little

564
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 24: lighter things. But it's important when you know our country's

565
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 24: bombing another country that we know why. Essentially, sure, but

566
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 24: you know, look like there was I didn't know this

567
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 24: until recently. I don't know how many people listening did.

568
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 24: Maybe you did because you read a lot. But we

569
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 24: have a lot of bases in Syria. Why why, I

570
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 24: mean Siria. I don't think has any bases here in California. No,

571
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 24: we would have bombed them, right, we would have not

572
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 24: allowed that, that's right, right.

573
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: But we go into other countries and just set up shop.

574
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 2: I know we've got We've got just dozens and dozens
