1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,880 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 2: I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt 3 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 2: podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Can you close my door? 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 2: I don't know who was in here. Close the door. 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 2: We're out every day from one until four o'clock. After 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: four o'clock John Cobel' show on demand on the iHeart app. 7 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 2: So in case you miss stuff, that's where you can 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 2: do your remedial. Your remedial listening and coming up in 9 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,279 Speaker 2: two thirty, well after Debora's two thirty news, you may 10 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 2: have heard about the about the lunatic Egyptian national who 11 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: had Molotov cocktails and was setting older Jewish people on fire. 12 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: They were publicly they had this public event. I don't 13 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 2: know if it's exactly a protest, but they were trying 14 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: to remind the world that Hamas still holds Israeli hostages. 15 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: And so once a week they go out in public 16 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 2: and remind everybody. And so this illegal alien from Egypt 17 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: showed up and started yelling about free Palestine and Molotov cocktails. 18 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: He had a torch basically, and he burned eight people's 19 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: It was like a makeshift flamethrower. I mean again, an 20 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: illegal alien. He overstayed his visa. Biden crowd not interested 21 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 2: in tracking him down. Clearly a terrorist. They don't know 22 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: if he has part of an organized terror group or 23 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 2: this was his own insanity. Anyway, we're going to talk 24 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: with Don Mahollick about that coming up. The LA Times 25 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: had a curious story over the weekend. We often talked 26 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 2: about the Palastades fire because Deborah, we don't know what 27 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: started it yet, right, No, we don't know. 28 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 3: We don't mean, we still think there's a possibility it 29 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 3: was fireworks from New Year's Days. 30 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: Right, But after five full months they hadn't followed up 31 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 2: on that. 32 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of just went away. 33 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean almost as if it wasn't a big story. 34 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: Right Los Angeles, there are We were in the Palisades 35 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: over the weekend, and there there are signs of life. 36 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: It doesn't look quite as bad because they did. Army 37 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 2: Corps of Engineers, by the way, deserves a lot of 38 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 2: credit the federal government. You see Bass running around saying 39 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: a record amount of time that that's the federal government, 40 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: that's the Army, it's not her. They've cleared a lot 41 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: of the debris and rubble, so rather than looking like 42 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 2: a bombed out city in World War Two. It looks 43 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: more like land that had been cleared for new development, 44 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: and there's a lot of empty lots. But everything is 45 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 2: all the All the debris has been hauled away some 46 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: areas not some owners. Homeowners decided not to get the 47 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: debris cleared by the Army Corps engineers. I don't know 48 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: what their story is because their ruins are still there, 49 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: and there's a lot of businesses that haven't cleaned up 50 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: their ruins yet, and probably there's insurance problems, financial problems involved. 51 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: But the La Times early on had targeted among the 52 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 2: reasons the fire department didn't respond properly and the city 53 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,839 Speaker 2: didn't respond properly, is that the fire officials didn't have 54 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: enough fire trucks. And Kristin Crowley, who got fired by Bass, 55 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: was blaming broken fire engines and a lack of mechanics 56 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: to fix them, and that's why there weren't more firefighters 57 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: because she set a thousand firefighters home and they asked 58 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: her why, she goes, I didn't have fire trucks to 59 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: put them on. Time's new investigation is taking issue with 60 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: what she says. First of all, the Times reviewed engine 61 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: work orders many of the broken engines had been out 62 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: of service for many months or even years. I can't 63 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: tell you how little money the City of Los Angeles 64 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: Karen Bass, the city Council, Eric Garcetti, maybe back to 65 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: Via Ragosa, how little money the council and the mayor 66 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 2: has spent on the fire department. It is shocking, it's overwhelming. 67 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: I've told you repeatedly the money they did spend only 68 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: covers half a fire department. That's true, and it's actually 69 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: sickening to be because I thought, what's the first thing 70 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 2: you fund is the police. What's the second thing? It's 71 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: fire and you get that fully funded, and then you 72 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: can let everybody else fight over the crumbs. But this 73 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: is so. There were forty engines that had to be repaired, 74 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 2: and they were not available when the fire hit, and 75 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: Crowley said, that's a a big reason why things got 76 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: out of control. They sent firefighters home because they didn't 77 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: have fire trucks to sit on. She said the department 78 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: should have three times as many mechanics, but says the 79 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: times many of the broken engines had been out of 80 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 2: service for many months or years, and not necessarily for 81 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: lack of mechanics. Meantime, they had dozens of other engines 82 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: available that could have been staffed and deployed in advance 83 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 2: of the fire. Now we'll get to the ditty gritty here, 84 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: because I know there's a lot of issues coming together, 85 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: but let's focus on the main thing. Where were the 86 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: fire engines deployed for the fire? And where were the 87 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: fire engines did to be deployed in advance of the fire? 88 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 2: And Kristin Crowley tried to say, well, we didn't have 89 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: any they were all broken, and yeah, a lot of 90 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: them were broken, but there were others. It looks as 91 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 2: if they have a large reserve of fire engines that 92 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: are taken out of daily service, but they hang on 93 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 2: to them and they use them a lot. They're not 94 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: I've been up to eighty percent of these reserve fire 95 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 2: trucks get used trucks, engines and ambulances, So even though 96 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 2: they're out of service, technically they're not really out of service. 97 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: Because we have so few new engines and so few 98 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 2: of them are repaired promptly. It all points to the 99 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 2: same thing. There's no funding here, but the Times story 100 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 2: is saying, well, there were fire engines available, Crowley just 101 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 2: didn't use them. According to an LA Fire Department report, 102 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: sixty percent are operating. Sixty percent of fire engines are 103 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: out beyond their recommended life spans one hundred and twenty 104 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: seven at A two hundred and ten, these trucks should 105 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,239 Speaker 2: have been retired. Twenty nine out of sixty. Ladder trucks 106 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: also operating beyond their recommended life spans. So they use 107 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: a lot of reserve engines. And as the Assistant Chief 108 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 2: Peter Sou said, as our fleet gets older, the repairs 109 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 2: become more difficult. We're now doing things like rebuilding suspensions, 110 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 2: rebuilding pump transmissions, rebuilding transmissions, engine overhauls. And he says, 111 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 2: the problem is money. They never fund the fire department. 112 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: Why did that little weasel Garcetti never fund the fire department? 113 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 2: What was wrong with him? He left so much destruction 114 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 2: behind and then he goes running off to India. Last 115 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: scene dancing in a local costume looking like an utter fool. 116 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 2: Well you did that at the Pastathon, I did that 117 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: for the children. I did that to help hungry children. Yes, 118 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: you did so it's different. 119 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 4: I know. 120 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 3: I just wanted to point out that something in common 121 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 3: with him, because you both did that silly dance. 122 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 2: I have nothing in common with them. The bass now 123 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: claims last year they they're buying. Last year they bought 124 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 2: ten engines, five trucks, twenty ambulances, and this new budget 125 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 2: includes ten more engines, four trucks and ten ambulances. So 126 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 2: they're trying to rebuild back there. But do you know 127 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 2: what is what is they say, is really causing a 128 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: lot of wear and tear. Is there so many nine 129 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: to one one calls because the vagrants start fourteen thousand 130 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 2: fires a year. So one of the reason since the 131 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 2: fire engines have so much are falling apart, is they're 132 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 2: used a lot because there's thousands and thousands of bumfires. 133 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 2: Thousands of those mental patients and drug addicts set so 134 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 2: many fires that it's aging the entire fleet much more quickly. 135 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 2: They're always on the road, they're always being used, racking 136 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 2: up miles. All the equipment is constantly being stressed out. 137 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 2: It's amazing, Like it's amazing that the Garcetti era, how 138 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 2: much damage he did, which reverberates to this day, and 139 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 2: how much damage allowing tens of thousands of vagrants to 140 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 2: get on the streets. You know how many people they 141 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 2: kill how many people, well, how many of them die? 142 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: How much business has been lost because stores had to 143 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 2: close because normal people wouldn't venture into these neighborhoods anymore, 144 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: or wouldn't venture at night anymore. The reverberations, the financial 145 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 2: and physical consequences of allowing thousands of drug addicts and 146 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: crazy people to roam the streets is just tremendous. And 147 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 2: it all stemmed from Garcetti and the city council now 148 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 2: over the last ten years. It's just it's just so horrific, 149 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: and this is stuff most people don't know, don't even 150 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 2: think about. I mean, I mean, the vagrance has ruined 151 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 2: so much. They've ruined so much. And I could take 152 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 2: you to one hundred cities tomorrow where this isn't going on, 153 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: just here, this sick obsession, and I could get all 154 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 2: self righteous about it, and then I always remember, oh, yeah, 155 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 2: there's billions of dollars missing. That's why, that's why they 156 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 2: allow it, because there's billions of dollars that all that 157 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 2: the mobster's made in government on the homeless industry. 158 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 159 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 5: six forty. 160 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 2: Follow us at John Cobelt Radio at John Cobelt Radio 161 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: on social media and we're closing in on thirty thousand 162 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: followers on Instagram.

All right. 179 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: So I mentioned before that you know that Jake tapperbook 180 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 2: Original Sin about Joe Biden wasting away his brain, wasting 181 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 2: away while he was president. And there was an excerpt 182 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: excerpt I read just last night about how they all 183 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 2: thought Kamala Harris was a big dud. Don't vote for 184 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 2: her for governor please, She's really a dud. Whole Biden 185 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 2: crowd and even Harris's God, I wonder what she's like 186 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: behind closed doors. Because Harris's own staff did not trust 187 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 2: her to go to a dinner party, they had to 188 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 2: rehearse the party with her. 189 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 3: They are you neighbors, John, why don't you invite her 190 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 3: over to your house and then you'll you'll be able 191 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: to figure it out firsthand. 192 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 2: I don't know. She might steal all the wine. They 193 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: including doing a run through on having her have a 194 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 2: glass or two of wine during the party. Then they 195 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 2: decided against the wine run through, and that that's a 196 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 2: curious thing there where they was she not able to 197 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 2: hold a glass of wine and she had to practice 198 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 2: because that's what they said she was gonna be practicing 199 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 2: with wine or is she a compulsive wine drinker? And 200 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 2: she can't stop? And then she next thing, you know, 201 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 2: she's taking off her clothes and she's dancing on the 202 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 2: dinner table. I don't know. That's how she got her 203 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 2: start with Willie Brown, So anything is possible. All right, 204 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 2: here's this little piece is not from the book, but 205 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 2: it's along those lines. According to Josh Hawley, and he's 206 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 2: a senator from Missouri. He went on Fox News this weekend. 207 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 2: He's a republic and he says a Secret Service agent 208 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 2: told him that Biden used to get lost in his 209 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 2: own closet. Hally said on TV that the Secret Service 210 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 2: member told me that Biden used to get lost in 211 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: his closet in the mornings at the White House. 212 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 4: That's a big closet. I want one of those. 213 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 2: Never get lost in your closet, No, he says, I 214 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 2: mean the guy was literally stumbling around the White House residents, 215 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 2: couldn't find his way out of the closet. The president 216 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: of the United States. This is outrageous. We were lied to. 217 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: But there's no there's no further detail, but it said 218 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 2: the source was a Secret Service agent assigned to Biden 219 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: while he was president. I guess he was assigned to the. 220 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 4: Closet picking out the ties and the suits. 221 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, I guess. You know they would find him 222 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 2: maybe standing and staring at the wall in the back 223 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 2: of the closet, fighting behind the suits. He would go 224 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 2: in and wouldn't come out for hours. 225 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 4: And what about his wife? Has anybody talked to her? 226 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 2: Nobody in his inner circle is talking. The last couple 227 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 2: of weeks, you know, they dropped the story about prostate cancer, 228 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 2: which every doctor agrees had to have been around for 229 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 2: years and they'd have to know about it. Like, nobody 230 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 2: is buying this idea that it just popped up because 231 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 2: it was so I mean, his stage four in his bones, 232 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 2: that's the end of the trail. That's not the beginning 233 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 2: of the trail. 234 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 4: But he's fighting it. 235 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 2: I don't know what that means when they say he's 236 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: fighting it. I mean it's in the bones. Yeah, you 237 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 2: can drink, you can take all the chemotherapy or radiation 238 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: or whatever, but I you know, that's that's pretty far gone. 239 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 2: You know, even if it if it doesn't kill him immediately, 240 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 2: he's got to be really an a wasted state because 241 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 2: cancer treatments for stage four are really harsh. You're filling 242 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: your body with poison trying to get kill the can. 243 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 3: But let me ask you this, if he has had 244 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 3: prostate cancer for such a long time. It doesn't seem 245 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 3: right that his wife would have wanted him to run again, 246 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 3: do you do you see what I'm saying. She was 247 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 3: such a supporter and said, yay, yay, didn't he do 248 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 3: such a great job after that horrible debate that everybody 249 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 3: knew was terrible, and she was saying that it wasn't. 250 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 3: And so if he if he's fighting for his life, 251 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 3: you would think that she would have convinced him not 252 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 3: to run. 253 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 2: I don't know how you go for anything dropout.

They found some evidentiary items to 335 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: indicate that he had been plotting and planning this type 336 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: of an attack for a while and he was able 337 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: to pull it off using rudimentary tools which he probably 338 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: learned about on the Internet and from some dark corner 339 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: of the of the Internet, from some dark web location, 340 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: and he probably got some radicalization from the same location, 341 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: which is part of the problem we have these days 342 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: is with the interconnectivity of everybody with the Internet, Terrorists 343 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: these days can pull off attacks in a way that 344 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: they couldn't have imagined even as recent as September twelfth, 345 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: two thousand and one. 346 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 2: Run for Their Lives is the group that was rallying. 347 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 2: It wasn't exactly a prote They show up every week 348 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 2: and they have running and walk events and they're asking 349 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 2: for the release of the Israeli hostages from the Hamas 350 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 2: attack on October seventh to twenty twenty three. And they're 351 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 2: a peaceful group. And the guy's name is Mohammed Saburi Solomon, 352 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 2: forty five years old. You might have seen him, gray haired, 353 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 2: not not a young crazy nineteen year old as we 354 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 2: often run into. But this guy was into his more 355 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 2: mature years, and that seems to be kind of rare. 356 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: It is rare. You know, your typical your typical attackers 357 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: as you were, as you were alluding to, is you know, 358 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: eighteen to mid to late twenties, maybe early thirties, somebody 359 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: in their forties. Not necessarily, but you know, the Hamas 360 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: Israeli war has brought out I think the worst in 361 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: many people in many corners. It's I think it's helped 362 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: sess their radicalization and many people that maybe we're on 363 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: the edge and were pushed because they had a grievance, 364 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: and you know, there's a lot of misinformation out there, 365 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: and you know these these groups like Run for Your Lives, 366 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: which is sounds like a rather benign group. They apparently 367 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: went to the authorities ahead of time and talked to 368 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: them and said, look, we're worried about the threats we've 369 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: been getting threats I guess or whatever, and which leaves 370 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: open a question about soft targets and events like this. 371 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: I think we're my opinion, we're well beyond the days 372 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 1: where you can hold a simple run like this or 373 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: a picnic or an event and not work with your 374 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: local authorities to make sure there was some element of 375 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: security incorporated into your event because of the threats that 376 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: we're seeing these days, especially against Jewish and Israeli groups. 377 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you if you publicize a Jewish oriented event 378 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 2: and you're outdoors and the event is explicitly connected to 379 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 2: the I Must error attacks, you know, the risk is 380 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,719 Speaker 2: something bad happening is actually quite high in these people. 381 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 2: The victims ranged in age from fifty two to eighty eight, 382 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 2: so it was an older crowd, and that he was 383 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 2: trying to set fire on an eighty eight year old 384 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 2: it's astonishing. 385 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: John. A couple of months after the Hamas attack, there 386 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: was a play in my local high school, the Diary 387 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: of Van Frank. There was police there, there were security 388 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: there because of the focus, because of the topical, the 389 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: topical nature of the play. You have people who clearly 390 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: have an increased grievance now against anything Israel or anything Jewish, 391 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: and they're gonna, you know, thanks to the Internet, they're 392 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: going to focus on it, get it. It's going to 393 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: fester in them and they're going to act on these grievances. 394 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: And I think the Jewish people are much more accepting 395 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: and tolerant of security than we are here in America. 396 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: I think even though we are you know, we had 397 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: September eleventh and were far removed from the September eleventh attacks, 398 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: I think there's an inherent resistance in America to security, 399 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: law enforcement being involved in these kinds of events, where 400 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: if you're in Israel, it's part parcel of living in Israel, 401 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: it just happens here. I think there's still this resistance, 402 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: there's still this bit of denial, which is, you know, 403 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 1: it's not going to happen. It's not going to happen here, 404 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: But in reality, it's happening everywhere. So better ticking some 405 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: time to do some planning and some preparation than seeing 406 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: what happened in Boulder happen. 407 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Don for coming on again. We'll 408 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 2: talk soon. 409 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: Thanks.

Now, 413 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 2: I saw that there was a got killed in downtown 414 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 2: LA with a machete.

I was just past that ruler era. But we 439 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 2: would have. I was in the angry nun era definitely, 440 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 2: because we had one fist pounding nun And I mean 441 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 2: she not on me, but she was pounded on the blackboard. 442 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 2: And she'd like to humiliate kids at the blackboard if 443 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 2: they couldn't do simple math problems. She was, you know, 444 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 2: she was a big woman, big woman. She had a beard. 445 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 2: I'm not kidding. She had a beard. You went up 446 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 2: close to her, you could see the whiskers. She had 447 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 2: a deep, booming voice and a real bad temper. And 448 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 2: I only had her one class a day, and it 449 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 2: was a math class. And I remember a moment she 450 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 2: was banging her fist on the blackboard, humiliating a girl, 451 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 2: Joanne was her name, And Joanne was standing there and 452 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 2: totally befuddled and clueless like this, yeah right, And she's 453 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 2: pounding and pounding and pounding gets he the chalk dust 454 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 2: shaking off the board and the poor girl standing there 455 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 2: looking like she was gonna cry. And this woman is 456 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 2: bellowing away in her nun habit. One of the reasons 457 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: I couldn't. 458 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 3: Really just you know what seems so strange to me 459 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 3: about people that are religious leaders. That just seems so wrong. 460 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 3: I know, right, it's so hypocritical. 461 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 2: Then, so I never really bought into the religion. I 462 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: was forced into it. You know. My family sent me 463 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: to this Catholic elementary school. But I always thought it 464 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 2: was a lot of hooey because I watched the way 465 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 2: the nuns acted. Yeah, the nuns with the worst of 466 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 2: all what they call the lay teachers, which I thought 467 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 2: was a strange word. They they were fairly civilized, but 468 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 2: the nuns, Holy Moly, was that a bag of insanity. 469 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 2: All right, we got to do news live in the 470 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 2: KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 471 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A 472 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 5: six forty. 473 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 2: Coming up after three o'clock, we're gonna play you another 474 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 2: TV report from who else, Ashley Savalla KCRA Channel three, 475 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 2: and that's the NBC affiliate up in Sacramento. And she's 476 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,479 Speaker 2: the only reporter in the state of California that actually 477 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 2: covers the legislature. And the legislature is where all the 478 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 2: bad things happen. You know, Newsom gets a lot of 479 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 2: blame because he is the governor, but in the end, 480 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 2: he can only sign or veto the what the Assembly 481 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 2: and the State Senate serve him, and they serve him 482 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 2: a lot of garbage. Now he embraces it, but it 483 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 2: does come from them. And a lot of the reason life, 484 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 2: a lot of the reasons that life is so miserable 485 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 2: and so expensive here comes out of the Assembly and 486 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 2: State Senate, which are races people don't pay any attention 487 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 2: to and they just reflexively vote based on whatever political 488 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 2: party that they have some misplaced affection for. And the 489 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 2: legislature over the last twenty five years or so has 490 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 2: absolutely destroyed the state. I mean, all the bad crime 491 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 2: laws came out of the legislature. They put bad propositions 492 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 2: on the ballot like Prop. Forty seven and Prop fifty seven. 493 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 2: They're the ones who've made it difficult to put people 494 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 2: away for any length of time and to keep them 495 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 2: into prison. That's why you have murderers being paroled down. Oh, 496 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 2: that reminds me. That happened over the weekend. Another mensin 497 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 2: girl got parole. That's the second one this year. What 498 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 2: was her name?
