You're listening to the John Cobel 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Yes, it is a great day. 3 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: We had been spared caf I am six forty more 4 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: stimulating talk radio, the John Cobelt Show. Yes, way Away 5 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: with the Buvezellas. It's a historic day. It's a celebratory day. 6 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: We are being spared. Kamala Harris's governor. She's not running. 7 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: I repeat, Kamala Harris is not running for governor. Only 8 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: in California would she be considered a serious contender. And 9 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: she actually was at the top of the polls. There 10 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: are so many stoops living in California, just stoops. 11 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 2: She wants the big job. 12 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: Well, good because she'll get crushed doing that. 13 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 2: Why don't you want to see her in Gavin square off? 14 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: Well, can you imagine a Gavin Kamala debate? 15 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 2: It would be riveting. 16 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: Riveting, that's one word for it. She's uh, she's really 17 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: like one of the dumbest people I've ever seen in 18 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: public life. I have been, in a way, like bizarrely 19 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: mesmerized by her existence. I just I can't believe she exists. 20 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes she seems permanently stoned. Much of the time talks 21 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: in these loopy New age woo woo circles, and I 22 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: can't you know, I'm not saying anything that you haven't 23 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: all noticed. I do not understand why in Democratic polls 24 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: though she'd get a majority of the votes to run 25 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: for governor. I do not understand that at all. But 26 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: then again, she got forty eight percent running nationally. I 27 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: I have never I can't remember seeing probably not since 28 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: you remember Dan Quail. He was an empty headed dope, 29 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: the vice president for George Bush, the first Bush. He 30 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: was a blockhead. But Kamala Harris not only a blockhead, 31 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: but she really seemed like she was under the influence 32 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: much of the time. Well, we've got another candidate for governor, 33 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: the Riverside County sheriff, Chad Bianco. He's running as a 34 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: Republican and he's here now, Chad, how are you? 35 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 3: I'm doing great? How are you doing? 36 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm doing really well. I'm doing a little better. I 37 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: did not want to slog through. I don't know how 38 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: many years of Kamala Harris running in the state. I 39 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: mean that that that's depressing to me. I will admit 40 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: that takes away a lot of great material for for us, 41 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: But uh, I don't need material that badly. Good Lord, 42 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: what tell me what you think? 43 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 3: You know? I think I think it was a actually 44 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 3: a great political decision for her to make, because I 45 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 3: think that her deciding not to run for governor of 46 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: California is probably the first right decision that she has 47 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 3: made in a career full of wrong decisions, especially for 48 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 3: this next race. Californians are absolutely tired of living in 49 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: an unsafe state that they cannot afford anymore, and I 50 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 3: think that she really understands, especially with political aspirations, she 51 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 3: understands that the status quo here in California is going 52 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 3: to be impossible to defend. 53 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: I don't know how anybody saying would even try to 54 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: defend it, but I imagine that most of the Democrats 55 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: left running against you are going to be defending it, 56 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: are going to be trying to at least tell us 57 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: it's not so bad and I can make it better. 58 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 3: You know, they have to. They've we've already been on 59 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: the same stage with them, and they attack me for 60 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 3: my beliefs and everything else. And it's actually bizarre. It 61 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: was like being in a version of a different version 62 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 3: of reality that they truly live in but they are 63 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 3: going to have to. They're going to have to attack 64 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: each other and put blame for everything that we have 65 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 3: in California on each other. They can't point to me. 66 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 3: I will not allow them to point at Trump. We're 67 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 3: just going to sit back and we're going to watch 68 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: them all try and defend the decisions that they have 69 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 3: all made in the last twenty years that have put 70 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 3: us in this position. And quite frankly, I think it's 71 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 3: going to be a different version of material for you. 72 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 3: It would have been more entertaining with Kamala in, but 73 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 3: I think there's going to be more material that is 74 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 3: very relevant in California that they truly they can't defend 75 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 3: what they've done for the last twenty years. And I 76 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 3: really do believe that. Quite frankly, this just propelled me 77 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 3: to a victory next November. 78 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the names of seven candidates, and most 79 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: of them seemed to be washed up, no names. The 80 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: only recognizable name in the group that most people would 81 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: identify is Antonio Viragosa. But the rest of them, I 82 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: don't think most people have ever heard of the lieutenant 83 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: governor of. 84 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, so the reality of every single one of them 85 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 3: is they are the same names and the same politicians 86 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 3: that put us here in this position. They've been doing it. 87 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 3: You said it. They are washed up politicians that could 88 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 3: have fixed California, but they made it worse, and now 89 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 3: they want to be the governor. And I mean even 90 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 3: I mean even Via or Via Ragosa is trying to 91 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: run as the moderate of all of them, saying that 92 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: he's for public safety and everything else. We can't forget 93 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 3: that he was ran out of Los Angeles. It wasn't 94 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: like he just gave up on this big success. He 95 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 3: was ran out of Los Angeles because of the failures. 96 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: And that's what they have all had. And they're all 97 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 3: going to have to defend themselves and accuse the other 98 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 3: ones of being responsible when the reality is every single 99 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 3: one of them are responsible. 100 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: I'm looking at this list. Congress former Congresswoman Katie Porter. 101 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: I don't think she could even get to what she 102 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: could even get like thirty percent in a Democratic primary 103 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: for senator, Right am I remembering that? 104 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 3: Right? Yeah? She was. She didn't succeed in her in 105 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 3: the run for senator. She was I can't remember if 106 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 3: she was number three or number four. 107 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: She was behind, Yeah, she was behind Steve Garvey. That's right. Yeah, 108 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: that's how Garvey ended up in the runoff against Adam Schiff. 109 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll be really honest with you here, what 110 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: California needs is an actual leader. They need they need 111 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 3: someone with leadership ability, with character and all of these things, 112 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: and those are something that you look for other people 113 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 3: to tell you who that is and what we have 114 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 3: now with all of these every single one of them, 115 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 3: they're all running for a personal reason. They're running to 116 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 3: be the first of this, the first Hispanic, the first female, 117 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 3: the first. Everybody wants to be the first. Look at me, 118 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 3: Look at me, look at me. Nobody is saying, with 119 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 3: the exception of me, that I will just provide you 120 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: the leadership ability to work for all of Californians. I'm 121 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 3: doing it for Californians, not for me, not for a 122 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 3: political party. And this is going to be an election 123 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: cycle that we haven't seen in a maybe ever, maybe 124 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: we've never seen something like this, but it's definitely something 125 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: we want, something we need, and I truly I'm looking 126 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 3: forward to this. 127 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: All right, Chad Bianco, we'll be talking with you again soon. 128 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: But major change in the dynamics of this race with 129 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: Kamal Harris dropping out, you will not run for governor 130 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: of California.

There you go. Biden 139 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: didn't even know his name. That's how that's how useless 140 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: he was. Then a former California Senator Tony Atkins. She's 141 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: to be President of the Senate. Katie Porter, former Congressman. 142 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: A lot of formers here, the Democratic Party vice chair 143 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: Betty Yee, and I never heard of her.

And then Viragosa, who is 149 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: an abomination as mayor. 150 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 3: I believe in me. 151 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: That is a bad, bad group there.

Yes, no, Kamala Harris to kick around 173 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: for the next year and a half. Listen to this 174 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: pompous news release. Uh. In recent months, I have given 175 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: serious thought to asking asking the people of California for 176 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: the privilege to serve as their governor. Nobody talks like that, 177 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: like she's laying back in meetings in between bog hits 178 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: or brownies or gummies or whatever she's ingesting. Yes, now, 179 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: you're my closest advisors. Should I ask the people of 180 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: California for the privilege to service their governor? What do 181 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: you think? Let's go around the table. I love this state. 182 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: It's people and it's promised. What a load of cliche nonsense. 183 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: It's people, it's it's it's promise. It is my home. 184 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: But after deep reflection, oh yeah, there's a lot of 185 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: depth there, I've decided I will not run for governor 186 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: in this election. And she was leading the polls, although 187 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: that her support number was shrinking because I think reality 188 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: was starting to set in with some people. You have 189 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: this idea of, oh, well, she's got name recognition. You know, 190 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who name recognition. All right, 191 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: Charles Manson had named recognition. Nobody wanted to have him 192 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: as governor or president. No people, no, No Democratic Progressives 193 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: like somebody like they like Kadala Harris. They I don't 194 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: know why. Maybe they're stoned too, Maybe everybody in the 195 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: state is stoned. That's the only explanation for the people. 196 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: They picked. Gavin Newsom, another high IQ person. Huh do 197 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: you think if you put Kendala Harrison Gavin Newsom together 198 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: you'd get you'd get to one sixty combined on the 199 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: IQ meter. Whoever's running for governor. If you're going to 200 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: vote for somebody for governor, consider this. Not that any 201 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: of this is covered in the media. We've got the 202 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: highest unemployment rate in the nation, the highest. We've got 203 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: the highest taxes. We have a bloated, busted budget to 204 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: go along with the highest taxes. We got the most 205 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: homeless people in the state. We have the most poor 206 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: people on Medicaid. We had the most people living in poverty. 207 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: We blew twenty four billion dollars in tax money statewide 208 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: on homelessness, got nothing for it. We got that high 209 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: speed rail train that has cost us about I think 210 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: seventeen million dollars billion dollars, excuse me, seventeen billion. These 211 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: are disasters that go back through the Newsom administrations, six 212 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: years of all the way to all the way to 213 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: Jerry Brown, even into Schwarzenegger. We've had bad governing going 214 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: on for almost twenty years here. And Kamala Harris was 215 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: going to do what exactly she cannot get from A 216 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: to B in a simple thought. I don't think she 217 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: could get through reading a grocery list in public. And 218 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: I just wanted to like start grabbing people by the 219 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: back of their heads and start knocking their heads into 220 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: the walls, like what are you people doing? We have 221 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: the we have the highest rate of people leaving California. 222 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: Go look at the articles about U haul. We have 223 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: a number one state for moveouts. We are the number 224 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: fifty state for move ins. There aren't many people renting 225 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: a U haul to move to California. There's a tremendous 226 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: number of people renting U haul to leave California. We 227 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: have the worst business climate in the nation, fiftieth that's 228 00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: ranked by business people worst business climate, worst business taxes, 229 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: worst gas taxes, worst income taxes, worst sales taxes. And 230 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: what do we got for it? We got the worst 231 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: homeless situation. We have an incredible amount of crime, crime 232 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: that's no longer reported or counted anymore. There's nothing but 233 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: cook statistics. They they they turned a lot of crime 234 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: into non crime and then told this crime was down. 235 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: I mean they let they let, they let boys, grown 236 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: men compete against girls in sports and take away their medals. 237 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: I mean, there's just there's just no end to this stuff. 238 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: The rest of the country is enjoying boom times where 239 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: sanctuary state, sanctuary city. So we have thousands and thousands 240 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: of criminal, illegal aliens that Newsome and Bass protect. I 241 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: can't think of a category where we're not completely screwed, 242 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: completely screwed, and nobody's you know, two thirds of the 243 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: state will never admit it. But aren't you happy Trump 244 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: got rid of that electric car maan date. Since we 245 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: didn't have electric chargers and we don't have an electricity 246 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: grid to sustain all those electric cars, that we'd be 247 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: forced to buy. That's a great thing that Trump ditched 248 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: that electric vehicle mandate. You know what he's going to 249 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: do next. He's going to cut off homeless funding unless 250 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: you put the mental patients into a mental health facility, 251 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: the drug addicts into a drug addiction facility, and everybody, 252 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: we're regardless of your problem, is ordered off the streets. 253 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: There's going to be no more federal money for cities 254 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: and counties that includes LA and I don't think there's 255 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,239 Speaker 1: anything the cities or counties can do about it. And 256 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: no more money for those fake, stupid nonprofits. This place 257 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: needs a wrecking ball badly. Kamala Harris her campaign was 258 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: a joke. You know, according to things I've read and heard, 259 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: the donors didn't want her to run. They didn't want 260 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: to finance another disaster. They already gave her two billions, 261 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: They gave her over a billion dollars, and she blew 262 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: it her only chance to become governor. Is California progressive 263 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: voters really are stupid. They're stupid people. There's a whole 264 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: story today I'll get to later on the number of 265 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: people who moved out of California because they couldn't take politics. 266 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: That couldn't take the results of the politics. Just an 267 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: unlivable situation here? Oh what else? Yes, we have the 268 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: highest housing costs, the highest rental costs. What's the green 269 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: up arrow in California? Pick a category? What's going well here? 270 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 1: You could use your eyes. You could just describe your 271 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: daily life. I mean, I described my last ten days, 272 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: two weeks that my wife and I have experienced murder 273 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: at our local grocery store. The murderer picked up at 274 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: a restaurant a few doors down from the grocery store. 275 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: Day after that, woman taking a large bowel movement in 276 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: front of the grocery store. Wife getting her nails done. 277 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: Crazy homeless people barge in, wife getting her hair done. 278 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: Crazy homeless people barge in second grocery store that I 279 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: go to. Guy gets stabbed in his own car by 280 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: a crazy person. That's just the last ten days or 281 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: so in my little square mile of town. There's crazy people. 282 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: There's dozens of dogs dying, are deathly ill and venice. 283 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: So it's got to be poisoning of the dogs, intentional 284 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: or unintentional. I don't understand. And so Kama Harris is 285 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: considered well, I've given serious thought. You have no thought, 286 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: serious or otherwise. You're a test pattern, a blank slate. 287 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: There's nothing going on there. You're a brain stem, a vegetable, 288 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: go a go ay. You're some kind of fluke. You're 289 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: some kind of hy historical fluke. Because of gender and 290 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,719 Speaker 1: race and the general hysteria of the last five years. 291 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: There's no way, in a normal time, in a normal 292 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: state like Kabla Harris would even exist as a public figure. 293 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: There's nothing going on there, nothing, but that is a 294 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: lot of good material going down the dray Well. 295 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 2: I mean, I still think she's going to run for president. 296 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's gonna be so many people running for president. 297 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: But last time she had to run against a bunch. 298 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: Of people, she was the first one to drop out. 299 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: First want to drop out. And I think in twenty 300 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: twenty eight there's going to be a better crop than 301 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: they had in twenty twenty So. 302 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 2: Why do you think the real reason is that she 303 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 2: decided not to run. I mean, she still was the 304 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 2: front runner, right even though you said support was slipping. 305 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 3: She still was. 306 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: Well she was she was.

No, they overreacted today. Yes, this morning 339 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: not enough. That was the Now you have to confess. Yes, 340 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: when you heard there was a tsunami warning for Los Angeles, 341 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: what did you do? What did I do? Because that's 342 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: one of your great fears, that's up. 343 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 2: There with earthquakes, it is. But I do not live 344 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 2: close to the coast at all.

I didn't. 346 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 2: I didn't panic, but I did worry for people that 347 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 2: live the beach. 348 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: Down below, the peasants down below.

Well you heard me, I mean you. 361 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 2: John and I were talking off the air and I 362 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 2: was bothering him about not getting a certain test and 363 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 2: I could not I could not remember the name of 364 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 2: the test or a type of cancer that I was trying. 365 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: To tell him, which which I don't have. 366 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 2: I know, I know, but I'm just telling you because 367 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 2: of the lack of sleep and all my stress, it's 368 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 2: killing off the few brain cells that I have. 369 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: That's what stress does. Yeah, I know. Stress causes dementia. 370 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 2: And you you saw that. 371 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: Oh my s was a while we were just talking 372 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: about medical text. She goes, well, you should get that, 373 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: and then she was off in biden Land and I thought, 374 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:11,959 Speaker 1: oh wow, this is funny. How long is it going 375 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: to take? 376 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 3: Why? 377 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 2: Then I realized what it was, But then I couldn't 378 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 2: remember the name of the procedure. I had to google it. 379 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: Okay, missus Biden. Alex Michaelson posted this because the big 380 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: news is Kamala Harris is not running for governor and 381 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: Alex the anchor at Fox eleven, says a source familiar 382 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: with Harris's thinking. Now, that could be Kamala herself, because 383 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: I like the phrase. Familiar with her thinking. She was 384 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: tempted to run for governor, but ultimately didn't want to 385 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: do the job because if you want to do some good, 386 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: it's a lot of work. We went through the whole 387 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 1: list of things that have gone really really wrong here 388 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: in California. You have to want to put in sixteen 389 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: hours a day, seven days a week. 390 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 2: But being president isn't a lot of work. 391 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: Well, she's I think she got a taste of being 392 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: a national celebrity when you're California governor. It's just the 393 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 1: light doesn't shine that brightly and there's a lot of 394 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: heavy problems here and people are really fed up. More 395 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: of her thinking. She's been an elective office for decades 396 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: and wants to take time to experience life as a 397 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: private citizen and see how she can be more helpful. 398 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: Stay home. I wonder if I'll see her in my 399 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: grocery store again. Oh yeah, remember that she's writing a 400 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: book setting up a nonprofit. Oh well, that's how she's 401 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: got her money, right, Yeah, I'm hat almost nonprofit that 402 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: could be uh, you know, several hundred. In fact, she'll 403 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: make more running almost nonprofit than she did as vice president, 404 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: and she will travel the country to campaign for Democrats. Yeah, 405 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be a lot of invitations. She genuinely 406 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: hasn't decided whether to run for president in twenty twenty eight, 407 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: but her heart wasn't into running for governor in twenty 408 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: twenty six. See, vice president was a perfect job for 409 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: her because she didn't have to do anything because because 410 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: for the stuff I've read about her is that she 411 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,479 Speaker 1: doesn't have a whole lot of confidence and she's not 412 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: really knowledgeable on a lot of things, like you could 413 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: program her to some extent, and even then, you know, 414 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: she couldn't. She couldn't read speeches, she can't talk off 415 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: the top of her head. I can't believe she ran 416 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: for president for several months and there wasn't one new, 417 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: decisinctive idea out of Kaimila Harris's brain, Like, not one 418 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: issue where she said, we got to fix this, and 419 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 1: here's how I want to fix it, and here's why 420 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: it'll work. Not one. And when you add up all 421 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: the stuff that needs to be fixed here in California, 422 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,959 Speaker 1: the massive homelessness and the billions of dollars that have disappeared, 423 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: the massive amounts of crime going on, the incredible excessive taxes, 424 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: the horrific business climate, all the people leaving the state, 425 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: the high speed real thing. Do you think she would 426 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 1: have any energy, any innovative ideas, any intellectual curiosity, any 427 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: any ability to get the progressives to stand down and 428 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: stop their insanity. She's not that person. She's like, hey, wow, 429 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: can I have another hit? That's her level of energy. 430 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: Her level of energy is like a stoned hippie. I've 431 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: never and you know, any excitement she had on the 432 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: campaign trail was scripted excitement, fake excitement. She's not a 433 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: spontaneous personality. And I've never heard her say anything interesting. 434 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: It was all gender and race. That's what propelled her 435 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: and joy Remember you talk about manufactured joy Man still 436 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: got forty eight percent of the vote coming up after 437 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: two o'clock. Oh wow, at least here, I mean maybe 438 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: in Hawaii there was more action. Very disappointed in this tsunami. 439 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 2: You were disappointed? 440 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I wanted to look down like, actually, you know, 441 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: I'm probably a bigger risk. I'm much closer to sea. 442 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 2: Level Yeah, you were not thrilled with the wildfires and diluting, 443 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 2: you're gonna be happy with the tsunami going over your house. 444 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: No, I think tsunamis are cool. It look, it's just 445 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: I like the Earth's the natural disasters the Earth can produce. 446 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't get it. 447 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: Hurricanes, stuff that happens, weather stuff, hurricanes, tornado, tsunami is. 448 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 2: The kind of thing I can live without. 449 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: All of those. 450 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM. 451 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: Six coming up after two o'clock. The bust that was 452 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: the tsunami, all this unneeded hysteria. Now, the natural disaster 453 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: that really happened, of course, was the big fire in 454 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: Palisades in Altadena. Let's look at the damages just in 455 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: the city of Los Angeles, because Karen Bass was in Africa, 456 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: because she didn't have an all hands on deck meeting 457 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: the night before with the fire chief and Genie Conyonez, 458 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: the DWP leader. The fire ravage the Palisades and the 459 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: total damage according to the real estate brokerage company Redfinn, 460 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: fifty one point seven billion dollars fifty one point seven billion. 461 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: How about that. 462 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 2: That's a lot of money. 463 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: Oh my god, and she's running to get reelected. Her incompetence, 464 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: her mouth seas its. It's a great word. Her idiocy 465 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: cost fifty one point seven billion dollars worth of damage, 466 00:30:53,760 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 1: and she wants another chance at it. This is half 467 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: leaving the reservoir empty. This is after not sending firefighters 468 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: up to the Palisades as a preventative measure. This is 469 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: after not having anybody overseeing the old fire that had 470 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: petered out a week before. This is after not getting 471 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: the fire trucks fixed, the fire hydrants were not repaired, 472 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: firefighters being sent home. They should have had a command 473 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: center the night before, with all department heads constantly making 474 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: decisions and sending the troops in. Instead, she was drinking 475 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: in Ghana. Might have been dancing too, Might have been 476 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: dancing with the handsome president of Ghana. I don't know. Wow, 477 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: twenty three thousand acres fifty one billion dollars. That doesn't 478 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: count Malibu and Altadena, by the way. Among the properties 479 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: analyzed by redfin, a hundred of the properties had a 480 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: pre fire value of more than twenty million dollars each. 481 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: Almost one hundred properties worth twenty million each. Third most 482 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: destructive in state history, and much of the damage could 483 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,959 Speaker 1: have been mitigated if she'd only stayed home, shown up 484 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: for work. She had warnings for several days, and now 485 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: she's trying to bluster her way by screaming about ice 486 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: and Trump. You know what if you fall for that, 487 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: If you fall for somebody screaming about ice and Trump 488 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: and you re elect her, Hey, when the next fire comes, 489 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: don't come complaining. Here we have a test case in 490 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: case you wondered, gee, what would it be like to 491 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: have a socialist, progressive, a follower of Fidel Castro? What 492 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: would be like to have someone like that as mayor 493 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles? Go west down Sunset Boulevard, you'll see 494 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: it was a great idea. Of course, that's going to 495 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: happen because in communism, property ownership is not a thing. 496 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,479 Speaker 1: So letting everybody's property burn down it kind of seems 497 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: like the logical next step.
