1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: Can't I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 2: We are on every day from one until four o'clock. 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 2: After four o'clock, John Cobelt's show on demand on the 5 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 2: iHeart app. It's the podcast and that's where you get 6 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 2: to listen to what you missed. This seems to me 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: like chapter three of a trilogy. Chapter one several years ago, 8 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: Kevin Newsom puts us all of Lockdown with harsh rules, 9 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 2: and then he goes to the French Laundry and crowds 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 2: into a small dining room with twelve other people, including 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 2: a lot of lobbyists who bribe him for a living, 12 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: and he drinks a lot of wine and eats a 13 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: lot of expensive food, and somebody snapped a photo of it, 14 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 2: and that became a scandal so big there was a 15 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: recall election over it. That's what really ignited the recall, 16 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: And the recall was going on, but they weren't getting 17 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: enough signatures until somebody took a photo of him at 18 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 2: the French Laundry. There were no masks at the table, none. 19 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: And then we had Karen Bass drinking in Ghana at 20 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: a party when the Pacific Palisades started to burn. Remember 21 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: the fire started I think at about ten thirty in 22 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 2: the morning on January the seventh, and she was in Ghana, 23 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: in Africa, at a cocktail party celebrating the inauguration of 24 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 2: the new president of Ghana. Same time, while the Palisades 25 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 2: was beginning to burn, she was in Africa partying. So 26 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: while you were locked up in your house, Newsom was 27 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: partying at the French laundry. When the Palisades thousands were fleeing, 28 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: running for their lives, losing their homes. Forever Bass was 29 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: partying in Ghana. And now Chapter three. The riots begin 30 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles Friday afternoon, June the sixth. We were 31 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: on the air, I member seeing the television monitors and 32 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: you could see the mayhem starting to starting to begin 33 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: in downtown LA. So everybody knew about it. By the 34 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: afternoon of Saturday, June seventh, right the riots were twenty 35 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: four hours old. Did Gavin Newsom immediately fly to Los Angeles, 36 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: immediately contact the National Guard, contact LAPD, the Sheriff's Department, 37 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: to see what he could do, what kind of state 38 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: resources to quell the rioters. No, he did not. He 39 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: did not offer the National Guard. He did not contact anybody. 40 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: He went over to the Odette State Winery. That's his winery. 41 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 2: He co founded it. In twenty eleven, there was an event. 42 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: The name of the event was Vineyard Vibes. I'm not 43 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: making this up, Vineyard Vibes. It was a fundraiser for 44 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: the plump Jack Foundation. Pumpjack is the name of this 45 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: wine company. It's his wine label. His sister created the 46 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 2: plump Jack Foundation and featured contemporary yet sophisticated wines, live 47 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 2: jazz music, locally made pizza and smash burgers. The perfect 48 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: kickoff to summer fun. Read the promotion, This will take 49 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: place on the winery crush pad, where we'll gather for music, food, conversation, 50 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: and delicious wine. And he did while Los Angeles rioted 51 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: Waycaren Bass was drinking at the cocktail party in Ghana, 52 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: Ghana while Los Angeles burned. A source who photographed Newsom 53 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: at the event. I love that there's always a picture 54 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: of this expressed shock that the government was an attendance 55 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: because the riots had broken out the day before. 56 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. 57 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: The source said, he was just walking around like this 58 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: was an everyday occurrence. He was at the party for 59 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: ninety minutes. When he left, he appeared to retreat to 60 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 2: the inner rooms of his winery, maybe to get loaded, 61 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 2: we don't know. So as he was drinking wine in 62 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 2: Napa Valley, the writers had already begun vandalizing public buildings, 63 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 2: barricading streets, setting vehicles on fire, throwing rocks, bottles, and 64 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 2: cinder blocks at law enforcement officers that evening, shortly after 65 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 2: the wine party finished. Newsom had done nothing to help 66 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: stop the disturbance. That's when Trump stepped in and authorized 67 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 2: the deployment of two thousand National Guard troops, saying they 68 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: were needed to address the lawlessness. Newsom, of course has 69 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 2: been protesting it ever since, filing lawsuits, filing appeals. 70 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: But the true it was. 71 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: He was hosting a wine party in Napa Valley while 72 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 2: La was burning, while Trump was ordering the National Guard 73 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: to put out the rioting. 74 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: That's what Newsom was doing. 75 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 3: This. 76 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: This is just poetic and its beauty, isn't it. 77 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: French laundry during the COVID lockdown, cocktail party in Ghana 78 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 2: during the Palisades fire, and now we have a Napa 79 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 2: Valley wine event that Newsom was hosting while the riots 80 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 2: broke out in LA spokeshole for the governor said that 81 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 2: Newsom proudly attended the event because it was raising funds 82 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 2: for the uc SF Cancer Center in honor of his mother, 83 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: who died of breast cancer. He actually hid behind his mother, 84 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: his deceased mother. This is how he justifies abandoning Los 85 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 2: Angeles during a riot to drink. He was raising money 86 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: for his mother. He did this a few days ago, 87 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 2: didn't he, when there was this whole hubbub whether he 88 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 2: was interfering with immigration. Well, my daughter is worried, daddy, 89 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 2: are you going to get arrested? He is so sad 90 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: and pathetic. He hides behind his daughter and deceased mother. 91 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 4: Well, it's all about his family. 92 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 2: It's they do a run through of the French laundry story. 93 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: And remember he had told all of us not to 94 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 2: get together with our families for the approaching Thanksgiving holiday. 95 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 2: This was in November of twenty twenty. 96 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 5: Well, you could remember, when you're eating. In between the 97 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 5: eating and taking SIPs, you put your mask up. Just 98 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 5: take your mask down when you sip, and you put 99 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 5: it right back up. But you also, you cannot you 100 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 5: have to be outside, and. 101 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 2: Then after a while you couldn't be outside, remember exactly right. 102 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: He later would apologize, saying, I made a bad mistake. 103 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 2: I need to preach and practice, not just not just preaching, 104 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 2: not practice. 105 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: So here we go. 106 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: Chapter three, Chapter three in the trilogy, Gavin Newsom found 107 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: drinking wine twenty four hours after the la riots started. 108 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 2: He did not call the National Guard. Trump had to 109 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: and going back to last hour, LAPD commanders are saying, 110 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: and other LAPD officers are saying, we needed the National Guard. 111 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: In fact, we needed more than came. Than what came. 112 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: So LAPD was begging for the National Guard. Newsom didn't 113 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: even consider it because he was guzzling the wine. This 114 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: is what you have running the city and the state. 115 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: It is no wonder. It's wal to ole chaos. The 116 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: two of them, Bass and Newsom are more interested in 117 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: going to elite cocktail parties. 118 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 4: Well, they need to relax. I mean, wine helps people relax. 119 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: It's very stressful. 120 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 4: It's stressful running a city in a state. 121 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 2: Especially a city that's burning and rioting. Right, it's you know, 122 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 2: you need to take a break and knock back a 123 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: couple of lines. 124 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: All right, more coming up. 125 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 126 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 6: six forty. 127 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 2: We are on every day from one until four o'clock 128 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: and then after four o'clock. Whatever you miss you get 129 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 2: on the podcast John Cobelt Show on demand on the 130 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 2: iHeart app. All right, this is a really peculiar rabbit 131 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: hole that I went down regarding Gavin Newsom. One of 132 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: the stories we brought to you was that a City 133 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 2: journal one of their writers christ for RUFO, and this 134 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: is also with Charles Layman. They had written a piece 135 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: that on the riots broke out on Friday, June the sixth. 136 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 2: In the afternoon Saturday June seventh, the writing intensified, and 137 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 2: by that evening Trump announced he's bringing in the National Guard. 138 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 2: Part of the justification was Newsom and Karen Bass weren't 139 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 2: doing anything about the riots. And the question it has 140 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 2: been is like, why does Newsom and Bass let these 141 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: things get out of hand? And then RUFO and Layman 142 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: discovered that the Saturday after the riots broke out, just 143 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: a few hours before Trump set in the National Guard, 144 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: Newsom was hosting a wine tasting party in Napa Valley. 145 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: It was a fundraiser for the Pump Jack Foundation, And 146 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: there's a picture of him talking to a blonde holding 147 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 2: on to a goblet of wine, a red wine, wearing 148 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 2: a T shirt and a baseball cap, and it looks 149 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 2: like the completion of the trilogy. First we had him 150 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: drinking at the French laundry while he had locked down 151 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: the rest of the state, ruined all those businesses, locked 152 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: children out of their schools, ruining their childhoods. And he 153 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 2: was busy, busy drinking and eating at one of the 154 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: most expensive restaurants in California. Part two of the trilogy 155 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 2: was carried Bass told by the National Weather Service many 156 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 2: many times, Hey, major firestorm risk. She goes off to 157 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 2: Ghana in Africa, new President's being inaugurated, and while the 158 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 2: fire was raised in the Palisades, she was drinking at 159 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 2: the cocktail party honoring the President of Ghana. So, when 160 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 2: we were all locked down and people were diving of 161 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 2: dying of COVID, Newsom was drinking and attending a private party, 162 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 2: violating all the COVID rules. The Palisades were burning and 163 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 2: people were dying, Bass was drinking at a private party 164 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 2: in Africa. And now Flora, now Los Angeles is rioting, 165 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 2: cars are burning police are getting stoned, their cars are 166 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 2: getting hit with concrete blocks, fires are breaking out. Way 167 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 2: Moo's ablaze. There he is again enjoying the good life. 168 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 2: And it's it's how they live because they don't care. 169 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: You may want, You may have this childish fantasy that 170 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: they care. You may be emotionally invested in them. You really, 171 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 2: I would tell you to seek help, but I don't. 172 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: I don't think there is any help for that. You know, 173 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 2: if you're a grown adult and you have an emotional 174 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 2: investment and you think a politician cares about you, Okay, 175 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: that's what you want to believe. That's a nice little 176 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 2: fairy tale. Well Newsom's Newsom's press office went per Zerk, 177 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 2: writing to Christopher Rufo, the journalist who broke this, you 178 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 2: have no shame disgusting this live fielled report about an 179 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 2: annual cancer research fundraiser hosted in honor of the governor's 180 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 2: dead mother, who died of breast cancer. 181 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: Well, I went back to the original story and it said. 182 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: Spokesperson for the governor said Newsom had proudly attended the event, 183 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 2: which was intended to raise funds for the UCS SEF 184 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 2: Cancer Center in honor of his mother, who died of 185 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 2: breast cancer, so it was mentioned that they quoted the 186 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 2: governor's spokesperson. The point was whether it was a cancer 187 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: fundraiser or not. Newsom was nowhere near Los Angeles when 188 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: the riots happened and did not gather the National Guard 189 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 2: to try to stop them, to help out LAPD, which 190 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: was getting attacked. LAPD said they were overwhelmed. And again 191 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 2: he's caught drinking expensive wine. So I start went on 192 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: the internet. This is how I fell into this rabbit 193 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 2: hole learn some things. Either I didn't know or I'm 194 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: getting Biden dimension. I don't remember. I started, you know, 195 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: just typing in Gavin Newsom, his mother, breast cancer, wine, 196 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 2: all the stuff. 197 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 1: And it turns out. 198 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: On October twenty ninth of twenty eighteen in the New Yorker, 199 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 2: Newsom was just days away from getting elected governor for 200 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: the first time, and they did a peace on him, 201 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: which was somewhat unflattering. And this came out just days 202 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 2: before the election. Of course, the election was pretty much 203 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: a done deal. I don't know if there's got a 204 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 2: lot of publicity. I just simply don't remember this, and 205 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 2: I doubt local media picked up on this, but the 206 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 2: story was that Newsom helped out his mother to what's 207 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 2: the phrase, if we. 208 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 5: Can't die, die by suicide, to die by suicide. 209 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 2: And I'm seeing this headline because the National Review that 210 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: week had picked up on the New Yorker story and 211 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 2: it wrote that Gavin Newsom helped mother's assisted suicide, and 212 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: they excerpted this piece. Newsom's sister Hillary said that when 213 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 2: their mother had breast cancer in her fifties, he Newsom 214 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 2: was difficult to reach. This is Newsom's sister I quote, 215 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 2: Kevin had trouble explaining to me how hard for him 216 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: it was to be with her when she was dying, 217 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: And I had trouble explaining to him how much I 218 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 2: needed him back then. He's back then he seemed like 219 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 2: the kind of guy who had never change a diaper. 220 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: You know what. 221 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 2: That's code for incredibly selfish and narcissistic. In May twenty 222 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 2: two and May of two thousand and two, his mother 223 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 2: decided to end her life through assisted suicide. Newsom recalled 224 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 2: she left me a message because I was too busy. 225 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 2: This is the voicemail message, hope you're well. Next Wednesday 226 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: will be the last day for me. Hope you can 227 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 2: make it. This is how isolated he was from his mother. 228 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: I saved the cassette with the message on it. That's 229 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 2: how sick I am, said Newsom. He crossed his arms 230 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: and jammed his hands into his armpits. This is out 231 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 2: of the New Yorker. I have PTSD and this is 232 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: bringing it all back. The night before we gave her 233 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 2: the drugs, I cooked her dinner hard boiled eggs, and 234 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 2: she told me get out of politics. She was worried 235 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: about the stress on me. And in California at the time, 236 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 2: assisted suicide was a felony in two thousand and two, 237 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 2: and Newsom was a member of the San Francisco Board 238 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 2: of Supervisors, and as Wesley Smith writes in The National Review, 239 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,119 Speaker 2: he was sworn. 240 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: To uphold the law. 241 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 2: But she died in San Francisco, and he assisted with 242 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: the suicide at a time when that was a felony, 243 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 2: and she had to shame him to come back and. 244 00:16:53,920 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: Be there. And I only. 245 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 2: Found this because his press office got so snarky about 246 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 2: being called out on attending the party and then getting 247 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 2: angry with reporters who started publicizing it. 248 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 6: It's a weird story, isn't it you're listening to John 249 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 6: Cobels on demand from KFI A six forty. 250 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: We are here every day from one until four o'clock. 251 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 2: After four o'clock John Cobot Show on demand on the 252 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 2: iHeart app, and you could hear what you missed. Susan 253 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 2: Shelley writes terrific columns a southern California news group like 254 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 2: the La Daily News, Orange County Register, and all the 255 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 2: suburban papers in the area. And also it's published in 256 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: many other places, such as this week The New York Post, 257 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 2: where she explained to a lot of East Coast readers 258 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 2: that hell is going on in Los Angeles and about 259 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 2: the Ice Rice riots, showing decades of California's political decay. 260 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 2: Let's get Susan Shelley on here. 261 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 3: How are you, Susan, I'm good, John, Thank you for 262 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 3: having me. 263 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: A really good column. 264 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 3: Buss, thank you. 265 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 2: One of my favorite parts of it early on is 266 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 2: when you note that in the lawsuit that Trump lawyers 267 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 2: filed in San Francisco in the first round of this 268 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 2: debate over who controls the National Guard, they detailed what 269 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 2: the protesters did. They threw rocks, bottles, chunks of concrete, 270 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 2: exploding mortar style fireworks at the police, setting cars on fire, 271 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 2: molotov cocktails, shutting down the one to one freeway, ramming 272 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 2: dumpsters into walls of buildings. And you note that most 273 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: members of the city council issued a joint statement we 274 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: condemned this and no uncertain terms. But they weren't condemning 275 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 2: the rioters and all those actions they were condemning one four. 276 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 3: Yes, this is their view that law enforcement causes violence 277 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 3: and lawlessness. And how are they twisting themselves into pretzels 278 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 3: like this? As you pointed out, they always try to 279 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 3: blur the line between legal immigration and legal immigration. They're 280 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 3: always trying to erase crime, as if it's not happening. 281 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 3: Everyone's just going to the stores and ransacking the shelves, 282 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 3: and now there's plexiglass and locks everywhere. But it's not 283 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 3: a problem. And the elected officials have this view that 284 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 3: nothing is a crime unless some business puts up a 285 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 3: sign or fails to put up the right labor poster, 286 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 3: then they come after them with handcuffs. But in general, 287 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 3: this lawlessness, closing the state prisons, their whole attitude is 288 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 3: it's not a problem, and now they're trying to stop 289 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 3: federal law enforcement. And they're trying to say, as a 290 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 3: Melda Padilla on the city said to the police chief, 291 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 3: can't you just warn us when the federal officials are 292 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 3: on the way and let us warn our community. The 293 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 3: police chief I said, yeah, we can't do that. What 294 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 3: stunned by that? 295 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 2: Asking the police chiefs to warn everyone that federal law 296 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 2: enforcement was coming. 297 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 3: In right, And their position is that the federal government, 298 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 3: the president has no right to enforce federal law in 299 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 3: Los Angeles. And Meldepedia even said, out of your loyalty 300 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 3: to Los Angeles, won't you do this as if Los 301 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 3: Angeles is a separate country from the United States. Well, 302 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 3: it's not, and there are plenty of voters who don't 303 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 3: think it is or should be, And so this is 304 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 3: a really interesting political thing. I think what's going on 305 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 3: is this is all about the congressional races in twenty 306 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 3: twenty six, because I looked it up and there are 307 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 3: nine races that were decided well won by less than 308 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 3: fifty four percent of the vote, and there were six 309 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 3: of those nine that were so close that they were 310 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 3: one with fifty two percent or less. So George Whiteside's 311 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 3: in La County and Ken Calvert, who's a Republican in 312 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 3: County three Democrats Derek Tran, Dave min and Mike Levin 313 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 3: in Orange County and San Diego County, and these are 314 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 3: very close. So how big a deal is it if 315 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 3: the Latino vote moves a little bit toward the Democrats 316 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 3: when we just saw the President Trump move the Latino 317 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 3: vote quite a bit toward the Republicans. I think that's 318 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 3: mostly what this is about. 319 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 2: Well, he's getting a majority of mail Latino votes now 320 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 2: and even overall he's up to forty five percent in 321 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 2: the last election. So I don't know how supporting chaos 322 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 2: and riots, I mean, they act like Hispanic families are 323 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 2: different than white or black families. Nobody wants the chaos 324 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 2: and the riots has nothing to do with Colera ethnicity. 325 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 2: So I don't know how trying to pander to pander 326 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 2: them to violent illegal aliens. 327 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: I don't know how that helps the cause. 328 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 3: But if you listen to what they're saying. Maxine Waters 329 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 3: went and stood in front of a federal building and 330 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 3: said that the National Guard was there with guns. She 331 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 3: was sure they had orders to shoot to kill. And 332 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 3: then she said, I don't know but why else would 333 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 3: they have guns. Well, they might have guns to protect 334 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 3: themselves against crazed rioters ramming dumpsters at them. That might 335 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 3: be one thing. But it's such a fearmongering, racially tinged 336 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 3: kind of call to arms that these Democrats are making 337 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 3: on the streets that I really think they're trying to 338 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 3: They're trying to racially divide the vote, and I think 339 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 3: you're right, it won't work because nobody wants chaos, and 340 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 3: there's a big distinction between criminals and immigrants. This is 341 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 3: a crazy This is a crazy thing that they're trying 342 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 3: to do. But I don't think they have anything else 343 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 3: to run on in twenty twenty six, and I think 344 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 3: this is their this is their game. 345 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 2: No, but it's really gotten insane. It's it's inexplicable. Where 346 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 2: do these views come from? I mean, they go ahead. 347 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 3: They may come from the Union ties. For example, if 348 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 3: we do immigration enforcement in California, guess what happens to 349 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 3: school attendance. According to the Migration Policy Institute, about fifteen 350 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 3: percent of the five point eight million students in California 351 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 3: public schools grades K through twelve or TK through twelve, 352 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 3: about fifteen percent are either undocumented themselves or have at 353 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 3: least one undocumented parent. So if they drop out of 354 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 3: school out of fear or if they're deported out of policy, 355 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 3: then what happens to school funding, which is based on attendance? 356 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 3: And then what happens to the teachers' union jobs? So 357 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 3: that might be one factor. And another factor we have 358 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 3: one point four million undocumented immigrant adults on medical because 359 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 3: they've expanded medical to all undocumented residents who are low income, 360 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 3: so they are if they're leaving the state, then what 361 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 3: happens to all the new healthcare jobs the SEIU represents. 362 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 3: Maybe it's that, maybe it's the unions and the congressional 363 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 3: races that are behind this craziness that they're twisting themselves 364 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 3: into pretels to oppose lawnch enforcement craziness. 365 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 2: I saw yesterday that fifty eight percent of Californians are 366 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 2: against giving any illegal alien health. 367 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 3: Care tax money shuld vote for office? 368 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 2: Yeah well yeah, what I'm saying is that is there 369 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 2: at any point a backlash when it comes to voting? 370 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: At any point do people flip? 371 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 3: Well, now you read another question, what's going on with 372 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 3: our elections and why are our elected officials so solicitous 373 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 3: of the illegal immigrants? Is it because there's voting involved? 374 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 3: Now there's no evidence, but then you're not allowed to 375 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 3: collect an the evidence, so there's never going to be 376 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 3: any evidence. 377 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 6: I know. 378 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 2: The Times just ran a story today about you know, 379 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 2: false claims, you know that Trump makes about illegal aliens 380 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 2: voting and nobody has any evidence. I just cannot believe. 381 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 2: I cannot believe, especially with ballot harvesting and mail in 382 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 2: balloting and the way the vote goes in California against all, 383 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 2: against all reason, that there isn't something funky going on. 384 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 2: I just can't believe it because why would people keep 385 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 2: voting for this? 386 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 3: Well, you raise the exact point. We have ballot harvesting. 387 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 3: We have seven days to deliver ballots that must be 388 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 3: processed seven days after the election. They do not need 389 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 3: a postmark. They're supposed to be marked by the end 390 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 3: of election day. But all that has to happen is 391 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 3: the voter has to write the date on the envelope 392 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 3: and then they have to accept it. So it's just 393 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 3: wide open for fraud. 394 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 2: Right, These laws must have been created for fraud. Why 395 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 2: wouldn't you commit fraud if you were the political party 396 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 2: and you have a supermajority, Why wouldn't you commit fraud? 397 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 2: Because if they don't have to put a postmark, if 398 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 2: it can be coming in seven days after the election, 399 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 2: and then you got all this wacky ballot harvesting going on. 400 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't understand are people not paying attention 401 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,719 Speaker 2: to this extent? I mean they see Los Angeles blowing up, 402 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 2: they saw the fires. What what do you need to 403 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 2: see before you say, hey, I'm voting for somebody else. 404 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 3: We really have to clean up the elections. That's the 405 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 3: first thing that has to happen. Honestly, if Mayor Richard J. 406 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 3: Dally in Chicago had had this system, he would still 407 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 3: be mayor and he's been dead since the nineteen eighty. 408 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 2: All right, Susan Shelley, thank you for coming on with us. 409 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 3: Thank you all right, And. 410 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,479 Speaker 2: You can see her a piece in the New York 411 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 2: Post to why LA's ice riots revealed decades of California's 412 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 2: political decay. 413 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 414 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 6: six forty. 415 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 2: John Cobelt's show Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I 416 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 2: just have a short time. I saw this story and 417 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 2: it got to me. It's one thing that really irritates me, 418 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 2: almost as much as the zombies walking around staring at 419 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 2: their phones, walking along the sidewalks, walking in the street, 420 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 2: utterly oblivious to what's going on. 421 00:26:58,680 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: Air pods. 422 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 2: People have their AirPods stuck in their ears all the time.

Yeah I 430 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: did too. 431 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 4: I wouldn't ever, but I wanted to. I want to 432 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 4: scream out my window. 433 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: Look up. 434 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 2: I've made left turns, and suddenly somebody out of nowhere 435 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 2: ends up walking in front of me as a pedestrian. 436 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: And it's because they have earphones or you know, they're 437 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 2: on their phones scrolling, reading text or something. And I 438 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 2: give them the biggest honk imaginable and I make them shake, 439 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 2: I make them like throw their. 440 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: Arms up in the air and freeze. 441 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 2: And then I now yell at him sometimes get off 442 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: your phone, just. 443 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 1: Really really shag it. 444 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 2: Makes me crazy because I can't stand zombies, addicted zombies, 445 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: whether whether it's you know, the drug addicts that litter 446 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 2: the place or these these iPhone airpad zombies. Apparently people 447 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 2: are showing up, well, they have them at work all day, right, 448 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 2: and they're showing up at a doctor's appointments. There's a 449 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 2: doctor Dan Weazel. This is in Saint Louis Wall Street 450 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: Journal story. He's noticed more patients keep their earbuds in 451 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 2: even after he walks into the exam room. And his 452 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 2: initial reaction is that's rude. They don't even want to 453 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 2: give him attention. He's trying to diagnose their disease. 454 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 4: And I walk right out. 455 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 5: I say, okay, you don't want to know what's going on, Okay. 456 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: Just die from it, right, And he says he tries 457 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 2: to be I love this try. Maybe there's a good 458 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 2: reason for it, you know, Maybe it's a hearing aid that's 459 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 2: not a hearing aid. Maybe they are autistic and the 460 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: earbuds control sensory overload. No, no, no, your first impulse was correct. 461 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 2: They're not autistic and they don't have a hearing problem. 462 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 2: They're they're they're they're idiots, and they're either listening to 463 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 2: music or listening to a podcast.

But according to one 486 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 2: human resource person, they give it up trying to enforce 487 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 2: rules like that. There's a growing number of people who 488 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 2: treat their air pods as permanent facial features. It's like 489 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 2: another sensory organ. They got their ears, their nose, their mouth, 490 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 2: and the AirPod. 491 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 5: When I first saw those, I thought it was some 492 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 5: kind of weird I don't even know what until I 493 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 5: realized what they were. 494 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm still startled by people who have a 495 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 2: talk on ear pods on a phone call because I'm 496 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 2: so attuned to crazy homeless people.
