All right, now, 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 1: this is highly entertaining. Our narcissistic sociopath of a governor, 9 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. It's fascinating to watch him squirm and scramble 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: because he has spent almost seven years as governor in 11 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: California screwing up everything you could get his hands on. 12 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: He screwed the oil and gas industry up so bad 13 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: that we're paying four point fifty a gallon, and there 14 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: are let me look at the the prices again in 15 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: this country. So we're paying four point fifty a gallon 16 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: for gas, and in Oklahoma they're paying two sixty seven 17 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: a gallon, two sixty seven. In Mississippi it's two sixty eight. Texas. 18 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: He's always bagging on Texas to seventy five a gallon. 19 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: Not only do we have extremely high gas prices. Our 20 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: electricity prices are double the national average double And if 21 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: you count it up, there's twenty two states, excuse me, 22 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: twenty two states that pay less than three dollars a gallon, 23 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: and there's about forty four states that pay three fifty 24 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: or less. So most of the country, well half the 25 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: country is paying under three dollars and over eighty percent 26 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: of the country's paying under three fifty. And we're at 27 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: four fifty and it's gonna go much higher because Newsom's 28 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: policies has led to two more refineries, saying look close, 29 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: and then we're going to be down to six major 30 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: refineries in the state. We used to have over forty 31 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: twenty five years ago, we had over twenty. But his 32 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: assault with taxes and regulations has been so relentless. He's 33 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: destroyed the oil industry. And now he's running for president 34 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: and he's he's going to have five or six dollars 35 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: gas hanging around his neck. Imagine what his Democratic opponents 36 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: are going to do to him. You're gonna have have 37 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: socialists running against him who are going to say, Gavin, 38 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: gas prices aren't nearly as high in my socialist state 39 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: as yours, and so he's panicking because us. He's predicting 40 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: maybe eight dollars a gallon Michael Miche the professor there. 41 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: So now he's desperately trying to find a buyer for 42 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: one of the refineries that's going to close, and he's 43 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: trying to get a bill passed that would open up 44 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: Current County Bakersfield to significantly more oil drilling downe a 45 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: total one eighty. He used to say just awful, disgusting 46 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: things about the oil industry. And you gotta think it's like, 47 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: what kind of a bozo? What kind of a bozo 48 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: tries to destroy the energy supply of the largest state 49 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: in the Union without having a replacement, never built an 50 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: electrical grid, there's no charging stations for the electric cars. 51 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: There are very few cars that anybody likes. He closed 52 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: down nuclear facilities, he closed down natural gas facilities. He 53 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: left us with wind and solar, and the price has 54 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: god sky high. We paid nut double now for electricity, Like, 55 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: who would do this? Why would you want him as president? 56 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: You know how bad it's gotten. We are now drilling 57 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: more oil in the Amazon Rainforest than we are here 58 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: in California. The Amazon Rainforest environmentalists have demanded that Newsom 59 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: cut shutdown oil production here, and so now we're importing 60 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: oil from Brazil. And according to Hector Barajas, who writes 61 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: in californiaglobe dot com, California now imports more oil from 62 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: the Amazon rainforest than it produces at home. The oil 63 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: that California imports comes from countries where environmental protections are 64 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: weak or non existent, where drilling destroys ecosystems and displaces communities, 65 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: and where spills are rarely cleaned up. And you have 66 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: all the idiot environmentalists for years been congratulating themselves as 67 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: we're making an impact on the climate crisis. We're making 68 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: an impact on cleaning up the environment. No, and the 69 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: oil as bras rights that we import from these nations. 70 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: These are nations that execute gay people, They deny women 71 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: basic rights. We pay twenty five billion dollars a year 72 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: to foreign countries now instead of keeping that twenty five 73 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: billion here and paying our own workers. Because the jobs 74 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: in the oil industry are really good, and that's what 75 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: he wrote this column. In the oil industry, even if 76 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: you only have a high school diploma, even if you've 77 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: gone to jail, you'll earn one hundred and twenty three 78 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year with benefits one hundred and twenty 79 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: three thousand a year. And he wrote about how all 80 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: these stupid lying environmentalists, climate fanatics, Gavin Newsom, they said, well, 81 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: you know there's going to be a we're going to 82 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: transition to other jobs. And he asked the question that 83 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: nobody in the media ever asks, what jobs? Where are they? 84 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: And he writes, show us the postings, show us the 85 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: career ladders, show us the benefits and the retirement plans. 86 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: If any exists, they're few and far between. And that's 87 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: just it. It was just all cheap, lying rhetoric. There's 88 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: no jobs to transition you to something else. You're a 89 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: guy with a high school diploma. You can make one 90 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three thousand dollars a year to feed 91 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: your family, but working really hard out in the oil fields, 92 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: and they want to take your job away and give 93 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: it to people in Brazil who are ruining the rainforest. 94 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: Good lord, is Newsome destructive? Newsom's policies are actually they're 95 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: actually ruining the Amazon rainforest. I didn't know this, So 96 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: now he's scrambling around he's got. Some of his fellow 97 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: Democrats is a guy named Henry Stern. This guy's a 98 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: joke from Calabasas. Five years ago he was trying to 99 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: keep all our oil in the ground. As stupid as that. 100 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: You know, we used the second most oil of any 101 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: state in the Union, and our oil use is the 102 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: same as it was ten years ago. There's some said 103 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,559 Speaker 1: zero impact at reducing the amount of oil and gas used. 104 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: It's now imported, so it's much more expensive from from 105 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: a country that is destroying the rainforest and from other 106 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: countries that throw gay people off their roofs and kill them. 107 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: But Henry Stern, this genius by people in Calabasses vote 108 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: for him. Well, we all need to kind of kind 109 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: of evolve, kind of evolve. Maybe that's just a lesson 110 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: on climate. There's not really a purity test on this. 111 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: It's not like civil rights. 112 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: Now. 113 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: It's only the modern ecotomy. Henry, what were we going 114 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: to use since you closed the natural gas plants, the 115 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: nuclear plants, the gas refineries, you stop drilling for oil, 116 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: what were we going to do? Run on coc and sprite? 117 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's incredibly colossally, preposterously stupid and That's that's 118 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: what you get from a narcissistic sociopath who only now 119 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: is changing the pot. See what he was trying to do. 120 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: He started these policies when he was getting recalled and 121 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: he wanted to suck up to those more on progressive 122 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 1: voters that populate this state. And now that he wants 123 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: to run for national office, the presidency, well you know 124 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: we could do this transition and also continue to use 125 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: oil and gas to service the Oh my god, he 126 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: is such a loser.

She also 186 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: sounds stone like her stepmother. I think she's a vegan. 187 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: Of course she is. Maybe she may be lacking some 188 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: protein or energy. Yeah, don't tell Debrah said that. Yeah, 189 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: she needs she needs some vitamins, she needs something out. 190 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: The pace is so slow. It's you know, I'm worried 191 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: about people's healthcare. It's twenty six years old. Where's the vibrancy, 192 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: where's the life? I mean, there's people in nursing homes 193 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: that have more energy than this. Wow, I'm guessing. I 194 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, no way to know this, but 195 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: I think people after you get stoned, don't put out 196 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: TikTok videos, especially if you're well known. Wow, you know 197 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: Nanny was worth it. Of course, she sentenced to spend 198 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: the rest of the rest of her life having to 199 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: talk to Kamal as the stepmother. Even Conna isn't that 200 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: much of a downer this girl. That's really ridiculous, all 201 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: right when we come back. This really this really puzzles me. 202 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: You know, I've noticed this all my life. I remember 203 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: as a kid seeing how badly Vietnam veterans retreated after 204 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: they had come home from the war. Uh and and 205 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: I didn't understand how we are such a raw, raw 206 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: nation for military service. And at the same time when 207 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: when guys come back, well, it's you know, the current 208 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: generation is that's some of the homeless. You know, they're 209 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: left to die in the streets with the with their addictions. 210 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: And and the VA is always a disaster. It's never fixed. 211 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: Even Trump hasn't fixed it. And firefighters too after the fire, 212 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: and people were praising the firemen themselves, even though fire 213 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: management and Karen Bass it's so horribly tragically screwed up. 214 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: Firefighters are out there trying to do what they can. 215 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: But do you know, we send out those firefighters and 216 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: this happened in the Palisades. We send them out and 217 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: they're not wearing masks, they're not allowed to wear masks. 218 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: And now seven months later they have all kinds of horrible, 219 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: horrible ailments, life threatening. It's pretty shocking. They're already developing cancers, 220 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: and they're already developing advanced lung issues because they inhaled 221 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: so much toxic smoke, and the Fire Service won't let 222 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: them wear a mask. Tell you when we come back. 223 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am 224 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 3: six forty. 225 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and 226 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on 227 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: the iHeart app. I cannot believe the story I found yesterday. 228 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: It was in the New York Times, their Sunday edition, 229 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: very very long story, and I was just you would 230 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: think this particular problem would have been dealt with decades ago. 231 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: But among the victims of Karen Bass's gross negligence and 232 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: not preparing the Palisades and Alta Dina for the incoming 233 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: fire winds, the firestorm, there's a lot of victims of 234 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: her in competent. It's some of them are the firefighters. 235 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 4: Uh. 236 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 1: I'm going to read you an opening paragraph here in 237 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: the New York Times, Hannah Dryer, the smoke from the 238 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: wildfires that burned through Los Angeles smelled like plastic and 239 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: was so thick and hid the ocean. We're talking about 240 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: the palisadesphere. Firefighters who responded developed instant migraines, coughed up 241 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: black goo and dropped to their knees vomiting in dizzy. 242 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: This is uh, this is the first wave of firefighters 243 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: because there's so many toxic materials that burn inside a 244 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: house or business. And I guess everybody in the West 245 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: Side was bringing this to some extent during that time. 246 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: But the firefighters were poffing up black goo. I don't 247 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: know what that is. This is why it is so 248 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: horrific and horrendous that Karen Bass didn't follow the fire 249 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: warnings from the National Weather Service to try to mitigate 250 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: what was about to happen. Here's a guy US Fire 251 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: Service crew member. He's thirty three, Fernando Allendi. He was 252 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: one of the first to show up and one of 253 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: the first to hit the ground coughing up the black go. 254 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: But in June, while fighting another fire, he couldn't breathe 255 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: talking him to the hospital. He's got blood clots in 256 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: his lungs and he's got some kind of growths, a 257 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: growth pressing on his heart, and he was diagnosed with 258 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: an aggressive cancer, non Hodgkin lymphoma, which normally affects older people. 259 00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: And here's some other victims of the Bass fire. Some 260 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: struggle to walk up a flight of stairs after many 261 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: seasons spent in smoke. Others have become permanently disabled after 262 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: breathing in concentrated plumes of ash, fungus or poison oak. Oh, 263 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: my god, burning fungus. You breathe that in. They're getting 264 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: cancer in their twenties, heart disease in their thirties, and 265 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: they need lung transplants in their forties. Because Forest Service 266 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: firefighters don't wear masks. They're not allowed to. You believe this, 267 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: So now if you go online, workers are begging for 268 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: money for their chemotherapy and radiation. And these are young guys. 269 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: And then later on the messages are updated with death announcements. 270 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: In funeral details is a thirty two year old with 271 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: terminal brain cancer, thirty seven year old small cell carcinoma, 272 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: twenty seven year old lung tumors, and he died from 273 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: the cancer and his family wish he'd been steered into 274 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: other work. Service's own researchers have warned for years about 275 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: the effects of the smoke, but they don't use The 276 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: Far Service will not send crews with masks. In fact, 277 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 1: it's prohibited. They have fought against giving firefighters masks. They 278 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: don't even mention the long term damage from smoke exposure. 279 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: You cannot wear masks on the front line, even if 280 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: you want to. Now they wear them in Canada, Greece 281 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: and Australia. They block ninety nine percent of the toxic particles. 282 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: But the fire service that said the risk is too 283 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: great that the firefighters would overheat. Well, overheating is not 284 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: nearly as bad as coughing up black goo out of 285 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: your cancerous lungs. And then they don't want to pay 286 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: for it. They're already underfunded and understaffed, and they'd have 287 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: to have more breaks or having sleeping hotels, and whoa. 288 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: They don't want to admit how bad the smoke is 289 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: because then they're going to have to treat these people simply. 290 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: I don't understand. We spend trillions of dollars a year. 291 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: These fires go on for months. I didn't know this. 292 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: Here's a guy who developed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Zebela Herbert. 293 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: He developed it in his late thirties. It coughs for 294 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: weeks at a time. He wakes up in the middle 295 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: of of gasp gasping for air. He's now, you know, 296 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: driving an uber. Wow, we have forty thousand people in 297 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: this country, mostly guys who take on this work. But 298 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: you're never told about the risks. And sometimes they start 299 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: right out of high school at fifteen dollars an hour, 300 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: five days of training. Here's a firefighter from Wyoming, Darren Clifford, 301 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 1: kept coughing up blood and landing in the hospital with 302 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:48,239 Speaker 1: pneumonia pulmonary embolisms. Those are lung blood clots. And they 303 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: told him you got to give up firefighting, but he said, 304 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: I need the money. Then the doctor said, well, too 305 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: much of your lung tissue died. You needed lung transplant. 306 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: Here's a guy who's thirty years old when a patch 307 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: of poison oak started burning and it scardus lung so 308 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: badly that he had to retire. It's just and it 309 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: just goes on and on with these things. And if 310 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: they wore the masks and gave them breaks and treated 311 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: him humanely, and maybe if the politicians cleared all the 312 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: brush and listened to the fire warnings and prepositioned the firefighters, 313 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have these things. Wow, that's I was really stunned, 314 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: because you know, everybody, I remember after the fire, the 315 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: firefighters showed up at all these award shows because award 316 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: season was in full swing right after the fire, and 317 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: everybody's applauding them. And I wonder how many of these 318 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: guys an now are suffering from cancers and disease lungs 319 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: and they're having heart problems and nobody knows, and they're 320 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: begging for money online. I mean, I thought this, that 321 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: is just so so wraw and the fire service will 322 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: let them have respiratory masks. It's impossible that they don't 323 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: have money. What what do you mean you don't have money? 324 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: Last I saw that government spends almost seven trillion a year. 325 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: Un believable, unbelievable, just horrible and tragic. And maybe you know, 326 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: Karen Bass ought to think about that next time she 327 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: runs off to Africa and ignores fire warnings that a 328 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: few months later there's going to be firefighters dying of 329 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: some bloody cancer. And maybe instead of drinking in Ghana, 330 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: you could pay attention and do your job so these 331 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: guys aren't sacrificed in such a brutal way. 332 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI Am 333 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 3: six forty. 334 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: We aren't every day from one till four o'clock and 335 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand. You know, 336 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: you'd think this isn't real, that this is a parody 337 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: news story in the LA Times, but they have a 338 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: big headline about how in LA City officials want to 339 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: fund immigration defense. That's right, lawyers for illegal aliens so 340 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: they can continue breaking the law. The budget crisis makes 341 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: it hard, which means the city has blown so much 342 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: money that LA is bankrupt, and still you have politicians 343 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: who want to spend this non existent money on illegal 344 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: alien attorneys. It says he're a city councilwoman, Isabelle Horado. Well, 345 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: last time I saw her, she'd fallen asleep at one 346 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: of the meetings, and she's been looking for money for 347 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: the illegal aliens. Yeah. Really, I pay taxes here in 348 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and she's looking for to pay lawyers so 349 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: that illegal aliens can continue breaking the law. She went 350 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: to a city administrative officer and he Matt Zebo, she 351 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: wants a million dollars a million dollars, and Zabo's office said, 352 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: can't find it. We've already given you a million. It's true, 353 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: they're already spending a million on illegal alien lawyers. And 354 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: this crackpot lady wants another million. Have you seen the 355 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: condition of the streets and sidewalks in Los Angeles? And 356 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: she wants a million dollars for lawyers for these lawbreakers. 357 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: Take a million from the three million. That guy who 358 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: was on his phone that tripped on the sidewalk, which 359 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: is why the city's bankrupt, got trips on a sidewalk, 360 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: And yeah, he got three million dollars. They're spending two 361 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five million dollars a year to settle lawsuits. 362 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: A lot of it comes from the shoddy condition the 363 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: city's in. And it says here council members are frustrated 364 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: that the city can't spend more money on illegal alien lawyers. 365 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: They're watching helplessly as the Ice agents take these intruders away. 366 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: They've been working on this from us. This is all 367 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: they do. Listen to this crack botty. Oh, this guy's 368 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,719 Speaker 1: a full blown communist, Hugo Soda Martinez. Why is it 369 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: that we can't find the money for this? You don't 370 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: have any more? What's wrong with you? Why is it 371 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: we can't find the money? They had to cut a 372 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: billion dollars. They were short a billion dollars in the budget. 373 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: Oh come on, it appears that level of urgency is 374 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: not being transmitted through this report. Parrado says, this is 375 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: an immigration legal crisis. These are people who do not 376 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: respect American law in any way. Even when you have 377 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: a crowd who knowingly violates US law, Parrado and this 378 00:29:52,440 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: Soda Martinez character want to fund their defense. She's Herrado 379 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: is really like unhinged, said she felt disappointment, frustration, and 380 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: frankly anger with the outcome here that we can't find 381 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: a single dollar to support immigrant communities and this legal 382 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: defense bond. Why don't they just go home. If you 383 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: go home, you don't have to pay a lawyer. In fact, 384 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: Christy Noman'll give you a thousand dollars on your way 385 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: out the door. Represent LA as the name of the group, 386 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: and they've seen a surgeon demand. According to a spokesperson 387 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: for CHURLA Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, CHURLA is the 388 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: one who got thirty four million dollars from the state 389 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: government and used it to facilitate the rioting. That's right. 390 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: We spend millions of dollars to help engage in rioting 391 00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: and it's still this is just hard to believe the 392 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: city has spent two million dollars a year and uh 393 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: two million dollars a year and then last year a 394 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: million dollars LA County. LA County gives this group over 395 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: five million a year. So the city gives a million 396 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: to two million, LA County five million and it all 397 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: goes to illegal alien attorneys. That is disgusting. That is 398 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: a horrendous abuse. Oh, these these these people ought to 399 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: be put in jail for this. How dare you they've 400 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: they've represented ten thousand people. They're not they're not citizens. 401 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: They didn't have the courtesy to obey the process and 402 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: try to get their green cart legally or some kind 403 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: of uh lee visa. Here's turl's executive director, Angelica Salas again, 404 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: they got thirty four million in your state tax money. 405 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: Getting the initial million was quite a battle. It's been 406 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: zeroed out. We weren't able to get the money to 407 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: commute the program. I mean, I feel like my eyeballs 408 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: are going to explode looking at this. It's a crumb 409 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: when you compare it to the rest of the city budget. Yeah, 410 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: but that's our crumb. Yeah, A billion dollars is a 411 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: crumb to these people who don't earn a living, They 412 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: just give away what you earn.
