1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. John Cobelt Show said 3 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: two in a row.

You got you 6 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: got the second segment of the first hour, right and 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: nothing else? Okay, all right, two for five. I get 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: a multimillion dollar contract hitting two for five. You really 9 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: would live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Going to be 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: on the radio from one to four every day. Then 11 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: after four o'clock John Cobelt on demand. You can get 12 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 1: that on the iHeart app as well. We are now 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: going to turn to Alex Stone from BBC News. This 14 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: is a hood of a story. You know what a 15 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: huge pain in the neck it is to go flying. Well, 16 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: some Russian guy he flew from Copenhagen to Los Angeles, 17 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: no passport, no visa, no plane ticket, no assigned seat, 18 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 1: and nobody's saying how he pulled this off. But Alex, 19 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: maybe Alex knows you know everything. They're trying to figure 20 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: it out right now, and investigators indicate to us that 21 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of the answers right now, 22 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: they don't know if this guy was just whacked out 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: or if there was something more organized in what he did. 24 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: But it was November fourth. We now have the core 25 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,639 Speaker 1: documents on this Scandinavian Airlines Copenhagen to Lax. Everything seemed 26 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: normal on board. There was kind of an odd guy, 27 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: but the crew thought, well, he's got to have a 28 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: ticket to be on this plane and on this flight. 29 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: We now know that guy Sergey Ochigava. And during the 30 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: flight he moved around a lot, didn't seat and sit 31 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: in one seat, He kept changing seats at meal time. 32 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: He asked for two meals every time that the meals 33 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: came around. They thought, oh, that's a little bit weird. 34 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: He was chatty with other passengers, trying to talk to 35 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: them when they look like they wanted nothing to do 36 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: with them. You know, every now and then you get 37 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: that guy on a plane. The biggest tell tale sign 38 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: should have been he went, we believe, into the galley, 39 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: but went and ate the chocolates that belonged to the crew. 40 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: When those went missing, that should have been the clue 41 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: right there that something wasn't right. Well, anyway, they land 42 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: the end, it was odd, but the crew got off 43 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: they didn't think about it. Going through customs at Lax, 44 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: the customs officer says, can I have your passport? He says, oh, 45 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm an American citizen, but I left it on the plane. Well, 46 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: they sent somebody to go look for it. It wasn't there. 47 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: They go into the computer system with all of those 48 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: who were on board the plane. He's not listed there, 49 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: and they begin to realize something is not right, and 50 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: they determined that he is a Russian citizen. He was 51 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: a stow away on that plane, not in the sense 52 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: of being in the wheel well or in the baggage compartment, 53 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: but he somehow got on that plane and acted like 54 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: a passenger that was paying to be on there. The 55 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 1: FBI has interviewed him. He said he hadn't slept in day, 56 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: does not remember getting on the plane in Copenhagen, does 57 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: not remember how he got through security, does not remember 58 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: how he got on that plane. And he's being held 59 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: in jail here in la right now. Bin indicted. He 60 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: set to go on trial the day after Christmas. That'll 61 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: probably get delayed, but he's sitting in jail and still 62 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: claims he doesn't remember how it all went down. Well, 63 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: he sounds like he could be a spy. And now, 64 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: but if you were that, would you present yourself to 65 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: customs and say I'm here. Sorry, I don't have a passport, 66 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: but I'm here. It seems like you'd find some other 67 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: way to get in. I guess in Copenhagen they don't 68 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: have the same strict boarding policies. Yeah, it's a good question. 69 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: I mean, clearly Denmark messed up here and the US 70 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: got stuck with what the mistakes that they made over there, 71 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: and then when he landed here, now they got to 72 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: deal with it. If he's convicted, he could look at 73 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: some prison time and then probably be deported back to Russia. 74 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: But I mean that one is the question of did 75 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: he have ill intent and they don't think so, but 76 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: they don't know right now. Or was he one of 77 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: these run through guys. Let's see if you can get 78 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: aboard the plane, let's see what are the weak spots 79 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: in Copenhagen's security system. But he landed at lax didn't 80 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: try to do it on the LA side, Knowing that 81 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: you present yourself to an armed law enforcement officer that 82 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: you're going to be likely arrested, in that moment. But 83 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: the other questions would have to do a security of 84 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: planes that are coming from Europe and at their origin 85 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: or are they being is a security tied enough that 86 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,559 Speaker 1: this guy is able to somehow get on a plane 87 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: and make the entire flight without the crew noticing it. 88 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: They say they did a head count, but only for 89 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: weight and balance, that they didn't do it to actually 90 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: match it to the manifest to know how many were 91 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: on board and if the numbers were right with how 92 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: many were supposed to have been there. So even though 93 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: this was over a month ago, still investigators apparently don't 94 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: have a ton of answers about the y and the how, 95 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: but they say they're working on it. All right, Very good, Alex, 96 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: thank you. There you go, Leve John Alex still ABC 97 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: News for K five on this guy who you know, 98 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: I it's inconceivable this this would happen here because they're 99 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: so anal about security. But you know, in Copenhagen, maybe 100 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: they're not. 101 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: You know, when I was in Cabo, I got flagged 102 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: and I had to right before I was going to 103 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: get on the plane. 104 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 3: They called my name. They said they needed to check. 105 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 2: My baggage again, they needed to check my passport. It was, 106 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: you know, just one of those things that that just 107 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: happens to. 108 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 3: Me all the time. 109 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: What'd you have too much hairspray? 110 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 3: Nothing? No, you get flagged. 111 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: It's just your behavior. No, I think it's just what's 112 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: triggering about you. 113 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm baffled. 114 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: We see hundreds of pictures of terrorists. None of them 115 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: looked anything close to you. 116 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 2: Right exactly, So they just they just pick us, you know, 117 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 2: a name out of a hat. 118 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 3: And they do this all the time. 119 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: But this, you get this a lot. 120 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: Yes, every every couple of time travel a pair of I. 121 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: Am, did you have an incident on a plane?

His district is the Tenderloin District, which 154 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: is the most notorious open air drug market in America. 155 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: It's that one.

This 214 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: is the most disgusting district in America. Thousands and thousands 215 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: of drug addicts out in the open, uh, injecting heroin, 216 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: taking fentanyl, UH, snorting meth, pot cocaine, all of it, drinking, 217 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: stumbling around, some of them falling to the ground, rotting, 218 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: dyeing by the thousands and uh, Dean Preston, because I 219 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: always wondered, you know, we have a few city council 220 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: people here in LA who who try to keep the 221 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: mayhem to a minimum. For example, on the West Side, 222 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: once Mike Bonden fled, we got Tracy Park and she's 223 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: been doing an unusually good jo and trying to clean 224 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: up the homelessness and the camps and the rds. Right, So, 225 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: you know, there's some some sane, normal people left in 226 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: the world. Dean Preston is not one of them. He says, 227 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: the homeless problems are absolutely the result of capitalism. In fact, 228 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: why don't you listen to him, talk yourself. They cut 229 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: two people for doing drugs, So you. 230 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 5: I mean, I think that arresting people progressive. 231 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 6: Maya wants to be able to arrest people. Do you 232 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 6: think she's not progressive enough and she shouldn't. 233 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: Be able to arrest people for doing drugs. 234 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 5: I think is completely counterproductive to be arresting people for 235 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 5: doing drugs. 236 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: Yes, I think that does not like what's the objective? 237 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 6: So you can't arrest people for openly doing drugs. You 238 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 6: can't move or tear away camps. I can't see how 239 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 6: it's going to change. Surely it will just get less 240 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 6: and less well. 241 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 5: And the thing is it has gotten worse, right because 242 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 5: the approach that we've taken is this very inconsistent as 243 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 5: a city ramping up enforcement activities, whether it's against sweeps 244 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 5: of homeless people or drug use, doing a series of arrests, 245 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 5: usually timed with some news cycle. Then you know, a 246 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 5: few days later, a few weeks later, a few months later, 247 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 5: the same thing happens. I think what you're seeing in 248 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 5: the tenor lanes absolutely the result of capitalism and what 249 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 5: happens in capitalism to the people at the bottom runs. 250 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: This was for a documentary by a UK television channel 251 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: called Unheard, which is why you heard a British accent 252 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: music in the background. He goes on to say the 253 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: biggest driver of why folks are on the street is 254 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: because they lost their jobs, income, or were evicted from 255 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: their homes, usually for not being able to pay their rent. Well, 256 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: if you lose your job, then you don't pay your rent, 257 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: then you get evicted. Why are they losing their jobs 258 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: and not getting new ones, especially in the economy that 259 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: we have, which has been doing well. It's because they 260 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: do the drugs and they become unemployable. I don't know 261 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: anybody who is so whacked out on job on drugs 262 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: that they were thrown out of their home and thrown 263 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: out of their employment. Anybody know anybody who actually went 264 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: through this, I don't. Most people never encounter this. As 265 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: many homeless people as there are in the streets, it's 266 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: a tiny, tiny percentage of people. They're wildly dysfunctional with 267 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: extreme addictions, very bad behavior, and they're not fit to 268 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: be out in public. They're not fit to be out 269 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: in a civilized city. And that's why you have to 270 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: arrest them and take them away, force them into treatment. 271 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: Or put them in jail, or just get them out 272 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: of the city, out of the county. This isn't the 273 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: way we live here. Sorry, I didn't inject you with drugs. 274 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: You did. You got yourself fired, you got yourself thrown out. 275 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: You're the one who didn't pay the rent. This guy says, 276 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: it's the capitalist system. Most people thrive under the capitalist system. 277 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: Most people are doing great. We've got three one hundred 278 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: and thirty million people in the world. Not just because 279 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: there's a few hundred thousand in the streets and they're 280 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: concentrated here in La and in California, doesn't mean the 281 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: system doesn't work. It means these people are so messed 282 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: up they're among the very few who cannot at least 283 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: make ends meet, be survived, just survive here. It's not 284 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: that hard to survive. It's not that hard because we're 285 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: all capable of being employed, at least at minimal jobs, 286 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: and we have a generous safety net, the most generous 287 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: in the country here in California. There's just no excuse 288 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: for this and for him to out of a line. 289 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: But you know what this people who are immersed in 290 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: this kind of ideology, it is like talking to a 291 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: religious zealot. You might as well go to Gaza and 292 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: try to convince them that the Jews really are good people. 293 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: It's it's never ever ever going to work. He's insane, 294 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: but the people in the Tenderloin district are insane for 295 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: electing him. I ten the Tenderloine district just made up 296 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: a drug addicts, and just the drug addicts vote for 297 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: him because he know they know he'll keep the supply 298 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: of drugs flowing in that district. He also claimed that 299 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: we have a very very bloated police budget, all kinds 300 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: of waste in the police department. I could cut one 301 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars out of the department. Well, they they're 302 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: there are hundreds of cops short in San Francisco, which 303 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: is why crime is so rampant. They're they're they're out 304 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: of police officers. I he proposed a law last year 305 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: that would ban security guards from drawing their weapons for 306 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: property crime. He has seen so many businesses leave, so 307 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: many people move out, so many people refuse to come 308 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: to work anymore. He says, I'm a democratic socialist. Well 309 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: that's great, but it's a completely failed philosophy. It's an 310 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: absolute failure but this is where politics, and you know, 311 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: this story is as old as time, Politics becomes religion 312 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: for a lot of people. Normally, extremists like this don't 313 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: get into office. Normally there's a majority of normal people 314 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: who make sure people like these never serve, or if 315 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: they sneak in, they don't serve for long. But something's 316 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: gone haywire with the way people vote here in California, 317 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: especially in that Tenderloin district. He actually thinks it's really cool. 318 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: More coming up on the John Cobelt Show. 319 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am 320 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 4: six forty. 321 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: John cobelts Show, Just me, only me, Sure, thank you, 322 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: John Cobelt Show.

And he opened the session two weeks ago 333 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: by saying that his name is Sultan al Jabert, And 334 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: he opened by saying that there's no scientific evidence that 335 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: cutting off fossil fuels around the world is going to 336 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: reduce climate temperatures. And everybody went berserk. And and everybody, 337 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: everybody has been still berserk for two weeks now. They 338 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: they have not been that. I think they're they're they're 339 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: in overtime. The conference was supposed to be over by now, 340 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: but they continued talking because there is not a majority 341 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: willing to say it is time to force everyone to 342 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: cut wealth. Have everyone agreed to cut their fossil fuel emissions. 343 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: It turns out when they got right to the edge, 344 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: hardly anybody wants to do it. It's like, well you 345 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: go first, No you go, No, you go, because it 346 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: would destroy the world economy. And after prattling about this 347 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 1: for twenty seven years, this first conference was in nineteen 348 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: ninety seven, twenty seven years, they finally got to the 349 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: moment that I knew, we always knew was going to 350 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: hit when they had to pull a trigger and say, okay, 351 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: time to destroy the world's economy. They weren't going to 352 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: do it. They're going to end up backing off saying, well, 353 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 1: we need further study. You know, after twenty seven years, 354 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: they've done all the study that they're going to ever do. 355 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: And al Gore, I've got a five I was looking 356 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: for this morning for an al Gore clip. I heard 357 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: it on one of the cable channels yesterday and he 358 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: was He had a complete screaming fit, meltdown, total, he 359 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: went total mental patient. He was like naked guy on 360 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: the street corner, whacked out on meth. He was screaming, 361 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: and he says Cop twenty eight is now on the 362 00:19:54,840 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: verge of complete failure. How about that? Because there is 363 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: no replacement for oil and natural gas. There isn't and 364 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: you know the signs around the world. Germany has pulled 365 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: out of most of its green energy policies. They pulled 366 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: back on that. Great Britain is increasing its oil and 367 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: gas exploration in the North Sea. Ford today said they're 368 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: cutting their estimate for f one fifty electric sales by 369 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: fifty percent. They're going to produce fifty percent fewer electric 370 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: f one to fifty pickup trucks because there's no market. 371 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: There's another smaller company that cut its production by a third, 372 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: and one of the major executives just resigned and their 373 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: stock went down ten percent. There are now cars and trucks, 374 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: electric cars and trucks sitting on the dealership lots for 375 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: twelve to eighteen months. And the only reason that the 376 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: car companies built them is because the government was giving 377 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: them fifty thousand dollars a car, like a fifty thousand 378 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: dollars bride here, If we give you fifty thousand dollars, 379 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: will you build these cars and trucks? Okay, So they 380 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: built them, they put them on the lot, and nobody 381 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: wants them. And now you have these all these these 382 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: major nations saying well we're I mean, Germany had a 383 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: huge electricity crisis. They were supposed to have wind power 384 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,719 Speaker 1: bring electricity from Great Britain to Germany all over Europe. 385 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: It didn't work. So they're burning coal in Germany now, 386 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: lots of coal. I heard Microsoft this morning. I just 387 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: heard that Microscoft SWOFT is going to power their operations 388 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: with nuclear power. I don't know if they're building their 389 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: own nuclear plant. I don't know how that works. It's 390 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: going to take a long time because there's so much 391 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: government regulation now. That is the avenue everybody should be 392 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: going down. Nuclear power is absolutely clean. When it comes 393 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: to greenhouse gases, there aren't any. There's no pollution of 394 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: the atmosphere with greenhouse gases from nuclear It is clean, 395 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: the cleanest energy imaginable. So but you know what I 396 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: was just reading in the New York Times. They've got 397 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: a story and I couldn't believe this, This top twenty eight, 398 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: and it's you know how many people arrived in the 399 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: United Arab Emirates. Seventy thousand of them, seventy thousand of 400 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: these boobs and buffoons, politicians, business leaders, lobbyists, diplomats, and 401 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: most of these industry executives, they're on the take. They're 402 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: getting bribes from governments to create products nobody wants. One 403 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: of the most lucrative fields you could be in right 404 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: now is green energy because the governments are handed out 405 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: many billions of dollars. And it doesn't matter if you 406 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: can't sell any products, it doesn't matter if nobody wants 407 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: to buy any of this from you. The government is 408 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: it's your tax money, or it's all that fake printed money, 409 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: or it's I don't know, it's cryptocurrency, whatever, fake money 410 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: they're using to make the world go around. Now it 411 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: has financed all these green energy companies and the rackets, 412 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: they're scams. They were supposed to be. They were just 413 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: supposed to start hitting their fossil fuel emission goals by now, 414 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: and they're not hitting any of them. Nobody's even tried 415 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: to hit any of them, and they're not going to 416 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 1: because they don't have a replacement. Solar and wind doesn't 417 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: cut it. And the only state that continues pushing this 418 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,479 Speaker 1: nonsense is California. And that's why we pay seventy percent 419 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: higher electricity prices. That's why our gas is right now 420 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 1: now four fifty to five dollars a gallon, where you 421 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: can get it for three bucks in a lot of 422 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: other states. So we're the stupidest state in the Union. 423 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: If we were a nation, we'd be one of the 424 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: stupidest countries on the planet. We are doing stuff that 425 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: everybody else is giving up on because it doesn't work. 426 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: How about this, And you may think it's completely wrong, crazy, 427 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: out of line. I don't care. Write this down. Check 428 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: with me in ten years. This whole clean energy revolution, 429 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: green energy revolution, I should say is a complete bust. 430 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: It's never going anywhere, and they are going to have 431 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: to pull back, backtrack, modify, whatever word you want to use. 432 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: It's a bust. They're going to have to pull back 433 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: on their mandate that everybody has to buy electric cars 434 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: in California. No way it works. You got two hundred countries, 435 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: seventy thousand people. They can't come to the basic tenet 436 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: of this entire this entire conference, there was one final goal. 437 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: Everybody agree to cut back on fossil fields. No, they can't. 438 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: They can't get many people to sign on, especially the 439 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: wealthy countries, especially the most productive countries. Nobody's willing to 440 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: shoot themselves in the head first and destroy their economy first. 441 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: And why would anybody. I mean, this will go on 442 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: because it's a big industry. It's one of these scam industries. 443 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: It's like high speed rails and offshoot of it there 444 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: are or you know, another scam industry is homeless nonprofits 445 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. When you have unending river of tax money, 446 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: you have rackets, scam industries, grifters. That's what you've got now. 447 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: And there's seventy thousand of them. And believe me, they're 448 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: eating well, they're drinking well, they're enjoying a lot of women. 449 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: They're having a good time. It was a nice couple 450 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: of weeks in Dubaye.

Uh, all right, we've got 483 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: we've got some Biden news. First, we'll start with with 484 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: Biden speaking out loud. It's always an adventure. He's talking 485 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: about he's taunting Donald Trump in this clip over infrastructure spending. 486 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: Listen to Biden try to make his way through this 487 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: particular numeral. 488 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 7: Four years of infrastructure week. But it failed. He failed 489 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 7: on my watch. Instead of infrastructure week, America's having infrastructure decades, decade, 490 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 7: over a billion, three hundred million, trillion, three a million dollars. 491 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 7: Trump just talks to talk. We walk the Walkah, he 492 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 7: likes to say America is a fairly nation. Frankly, he 493 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 7: doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. 494 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's review what was that number that 495 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: he you have that isolated, that particular number. 496 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 7: Brillion, three hundred trillion, thread a million dollars. 497 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: A billion, three hundred million, trillion, three hundred million dollars. 498 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: How would you write that a lot of zeros? A billion, 499 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: three hundred million, trillion, three hundred million dollars, it's. 500 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 7: Three hundred million, trillion, three a million dollars. 501 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: Well, he took a small piece of that billion, three 502 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: hundred million, trillion, three hundred million dollars and he is 503 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: sending it to California here for the high speed debacle, 504 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: the high speed rail project. We are getting three billion dollars. 505 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: They're calling it a lifeline because you know, this stupid 506 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: high speed rail project is always on the edge of collapsing, 507 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: and every time it's about to collapse, somebody bails it 508 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: out with tax money, even though it's a colossal failure. 509 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: It is now sixty we're in our sixteenth year. We're 510 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,959 Speaker 1: in our sixteenth year of building this stupid thing. We 511 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: still don't have one mile of track. You said, we're 512 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,959 Speaker 1: getting three million, billion, three billion, three point one billion, 513 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: So what is that ten percent of a billion, three 514 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: hundred million, trillion, three hundred million dollars. Yeah right, it's 515 00:29:54,400 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: about ten percent of it. We got a big piece Newsome, 516 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: after accepting this three billion dollars, said, California is delivering 517 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: on the first two hundred and twenty mile per hour 518 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: electric high speed rail project in the nation. It is 519 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: never going to go two hundred and twenty miles an hour. 520 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: They've already admitted it's never going to do this. It's 521 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: impossible and it's never going to be connected between San 522 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: Francisco and La I've gone through this one hundred times, 523 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: but we have to keep reminding ourselves. Here was the 524 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: original plan that they promised in two thousand and eight 525 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: we were there. The train was going to go from 526 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: Sacramento to San Francisco to Los Angeles, to Anaheim to 527 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: San Diego. It was going to be built the whole 528 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: thing Sacramento to San Diego for thirty three billion dollars. 529 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: Thirty three billion dollars, and it was going to be 530 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: finished in twenty twenty three. That would be Now it 531 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: was fifteen years, thirty three billion complete run Sacramento, San Francisco, 532 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Anaheim, San Diego. Now they're struggling to get 533 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: tracks that are gonna laid down from Bakersfield to Merced. 534 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: Maybe they can do shafter to Madera. So what you 535 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: could end up with is Shafter to Madera. If they 536 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: actually tried to do the Sacramento to San Diego run, 537 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: it would now cost at least one hundred and eighty 538 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: billion dollars, which means it's most likely over two hundred billion, 539 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: from thirty three billion to two hundred billion. But the 540 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: point is is they're still blowing another three billion dollars 541 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: on this of imaginary money, of money that was invented 542 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: by the federal government or borrowed or I don't know 543 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: how they do that anymore. Everybody uses the term printed money. 544 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: It's not really printed. It just appears on somebody's computer screen. 545 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: It's like, look, hey, there's three billion, and I'll send 546 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: you the three billion. Biden says, I'll send you the 547 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: three billion from my computer to your computer. See it 548 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: says three billion on my screen, or it says, what 549 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: did you say? It was a billion, three hundred million, trillion, 550 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars. This is what the voter's approved of. 551 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: We do all this stuff to ourselves. The voters past 552 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: Prop forty seven, which created criminal mayhem. The voters prep 553 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: past this stupid high speed rail project. No other states 554 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: do this, Nobody else does this, just California. We are 555 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: collectively the dumbest society on the planet, the dumbest, and 556 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: we walk around as if we're the greatest. Um. So 557 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: that's three more billion, it's it. And they still don't 558 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: know where the rest of money is going to come from. See, 559 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,239 Speaker 1: there's so many tens of billions of dollars short they get. 560 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: They get a couple of billion here and a couple 561 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: of billion there. But every few years they do another estimate, 562 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: and the estimate has gone up by several. 563 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 7: Billion, billion, trillion threaven million dollar. 564 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: It's like a little kid, right, Yeah, if you ask 565 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: a little kid, Oh, how many stars do you think 566 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: they're in the sky? 567 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 7: And brillion threaven a million dollar. 568 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, Johnny, that's a bajillion, a bajillion, 569 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: a gazillion. Yeah, but he's president, all right. Uh, Whittier 570 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: Mayor Joe Vinettierius coming on. Because the other atrocity today 571 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: was the uh all all these towns, well it was 572 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: twenty nine cities in La County. They sued to try 573 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: to end this idiotic zero bail policy imposed by La 574 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: County judges. They went to an Orange County judge to 575 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: try to get this thing rolled back, and they failed. 576 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: And Joe Vinettieri will tell us what happened and what's next. 577 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 1: That's all ahead on The John Cobalt Show.
