00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: I've been calling him. I've been calling her Soony for

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: you know, I did too.

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 3: But you know what if you if you google and

Speaker 2: Sonny Sunny Williams. Butch Wilmore. They went on Fox this

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: morning to talk about their.

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 5: God Him.

17
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: It's nine months, two hundred and eighty six days, and

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like they're holding grudges, and it seems

19
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: like they were happy to be up there, which does

20
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: say something about their family life.

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: Doesn't it.

22
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 4: No, I mean the astronauts, that's that's what they want

23
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 4: to do. They were probably thrilled to be there longer

24
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 4: than a week.

25
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: But if you're in the guy's wife.

26
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: It's like, you know this was don't come back, all right,

27
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: Let's get Alex Stone ABC News.

28
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: He's got the whole story and you guys aren't alone.

29
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: A lot of people are calling her soon a bit,

30
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: she says, no, I'm sunny, but yeah, they spoke to

31
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: reporters in a large room, I mean a bigger room

32
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: than I think NASA has seen in a very long

33
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: time of reporters in person and remotely, everybody wanting to

34
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: ask questions, and you're right, just their mental outlook on

35
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: it was kind of that they were given the chance

36
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: to do this, they were lucky to do it, that

37
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: they were super happy to do it, or they know

38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: politically what the best thing to say here is. But

39
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: they were all smiles today and they say they're feeling good.

40
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 2: Do they have thanks for everybody who helped get them home?

41
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: And Sonny today saying.

42
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 6: Feeling good since we've been back almost two weeks now,

43
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 6: actually went out and ran three miles yesterday, So I

44
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 6: will give myself a little pat on the back. Our

45
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 6: trainers are rocking it and getting us ready to get

46
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 6: back to help out with the new astronauts as they're

47
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 6: getting ready for their mission. So the biggest thing I

48
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 6: want to say was.

49
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: Thank you three miles better than we're doing it.

50
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: You know.

51
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: She had to come back and get back into shape.

52
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 2: But her first homemade meal, says She says it was

53
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: a grilled cheese sandwich in honor of her dad, who

54
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: was a vegetarian, and that she enjoys a good grilled

55
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: cheese sandwich. She says she had big hugs for her

56
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: husband and dogs when she got home, in that order

57
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: in case her husband heard it. She said it was husband,

58
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: then dogs, and then Butch said it was all about

59
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: being with his family and that was a big part again.

60
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 7: In home, embracing the family again. But also the opportunity

61
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 7: I've already said it a couple of times, is just

62
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 7: to say thank you to a nation that got involved

63
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 7: in all of this. It makes it special, not just

64
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 7: for us, but for all I think our nation.

65
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 5: As a whole.

66
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: So thank you, and so John.

67
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: They were asked who was it fault for the starliner

68
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: launching with problems and not being able to get them home, and.

69
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: Butch said, everybody, everybody involved.

70
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: And you know, in a way that a leader or

71
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: a good boss, he says, it starts with him, and

72
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: that it was He doesn't want to use fould or blame,

73
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: but it was everybody's responsibility that it went up and

74
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: it could not bring them home.

75
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 7: I'll start and point the finger and I'll blame me.

76
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 7: I could ask some questions and the answers to those

77
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 7: questions could have turned the tide. So blame, that's a term.

78
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 5: I don't like that term.

79
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 7: But certainly there's responsibility throughout all the programs, and certainly

80
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 7: you can you can start with me, Responsibility with Boeing, Yes,

81
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 7: responsibility with NASA.

82
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: Yes, they're saying everybody involved. And then he was asked

83
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: a little while ago, would you fly on it again?

84
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: And he and Sonny immediately said yes, of course, because

85
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: the problems are going to be fixed. That they like

86
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: the spacecraft. It just didn't function the way it should

87
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: have and took a long time to get them up there,

88
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: but they feel like that when Boeing goes back in

89
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: and fixes the issues that they had there, that's gonna

90
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: be a great spacecraft.

91
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: Yes, because we're.

92
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 7: Going to rectify all the issues that we that we encountered. Yeah,

93
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 7: we're going to fix We're going to make it work.

94
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 7: Boeing's completely committed. NASA is completely committed, and with that

95
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 7: I get on a heartbeat.

96
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would agree. The spacecraft is really capable.

97
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: And they say they didn't really know of all the

98
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: politics of the Biden White House and Trump White House

99
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: getting them home while they were up there. That they

100
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: integrated into the International Space Station crew and just kind

101
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: of did what they had to do while they were

102
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: up there. But they said they're happy to be back

103
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 2: on Earth, that now they can help the next astronauts

104
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: get ready for their trips to head up. But they

105
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: said they like star Liner and maneuvers really well. It

106
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: does things that SpaceX Is capsules can't do and that

107
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: other spacecraft can't do, so they do like it.

108
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: It's just got to be fixed. But they're willing to

109
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: go back up.

110
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: You just got to be able to fly back. Well,

111
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: there is that part get them home. Other than that,

112
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: all right, Alex, thanks very much. You got it there, John.

113
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: That's Alex Stone for ABC News. I was looking at

114
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: some other quote from quotes from Butch Wilmore and he said,

115
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: did I think about not being there for my daughter's

116
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: high school year? Of course, but we've trained them to

117
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: be resilient, my daughters and my family.

118
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 4: I think you have to if you're an astronaut.

119
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know I'm just being an idiot, But but

120
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: what I have liked to have be in with my family?

121
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know I was having a good time

122
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: up here.

123
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 4: I could never do it. I mean, for lots of reasons.

124
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 2: I would not want to be in a spacecraft for

125
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: nine months with you not wanting to be there.

126
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 4: You are very yes, you're right, And I would not

127
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 4: want to got a candy. I couldn't even imagine being

128
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 4: up there with you with all.

129
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 3: The complaining and the yelling and the shouting and the

130
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: exit bag top.

131
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: Does NASA even have vegan meals?

132
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 4: I'm sure I don't think so.

133
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: Maybe vegan powder.

134
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 4: I would disintegrate.

135
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: You'd be on that that little intercom screaming back at

136
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: Michigan Control. You'd be yelling about the food the whole time.

137
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: That's what That's what would be going on. Everything would

138
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: be about the food.

139
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 4: There's my hair, my hair?

140
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: Oh do you see what happened to their hair? Almost

141
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: I was going to say.

142
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 4: My hair looks like that. Sometimes a lot of times.

143
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: You put a lot of electrical static in your head,

144
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: I know, yeah, which is a sign of something.

145
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what.

146
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 4: I don't either.

147
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: When when we come back, I want to play for

148
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 2: you. You know, some some people used to wish that KFI

149
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 2: was NPR.

150
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 4: We're so different. I don't even understand that.

151
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that that was.

152
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: That was a feeling, you know, if only we could

153
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: remake Kfi's NPR.

154
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 4: I did fill in anchoring on an NPR station.

155
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: Very different, was it?

156
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 8: How was it?

157
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 4: It was lovely? But it's very very different.

158
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: It's very different than than this.

159
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: Well, you know, the Republicans in Congress have been going

160
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: after NPR since forever, and my to my ear, it

161
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: used to be a fairly straightforward news operation, if they're so,

162
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: but their subject matter leaned towards liberal, That's what I

163
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: would say. The subject matter leans lean toward liberal. But

164
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: they were more or less straight shooters. Then they went

165
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: ultra woke like everybody else did all the way to

166
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: Disney right and now because Musk and Trump want to

167
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: cut funding to everything in sight. The Republicans had the

168
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: NPR CEO named her name's Catherine Marr, and they had

169
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: some pointed questions about things she had said and tweeted

170
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: in the past and this I found this very entertaining.

171
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: We'll play this next.

172
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

173
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 8: six forty.

174
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: Kf I AM six forty. We're stimulating talk radio. Moist

175
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: line is every Friday in the three o'clock hour twice.

176
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven moist eighty six is the number.

177
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: You can call it any time and leave a voicemail

178
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: and rant and rave and just to spew all your

179
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: all your noxious thoughts and feelings about whatever you're upset with.

180
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven moyst eighty six, or use the talkback

181
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: feature on the iHeartRadio app. Coming up after two thirty.

182
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: There are still a lot of homeless encampments on Cowtrain's

183
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: lands and lots of fires. And you're so Cal Edison, right, Deborah,

184
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: And she's always very upset about how high her bill is. Well,

185
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: it turns out if you're with so Cal Edison, you're

186
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: always paying every month a big surcharge to stop wildfires,

187
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: to stop Edison from creating wildfires. Except no matter how

188
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 2: much money they charge, the number of fires they start

189
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: keeps going up and up. We'll talk about all that now,

190
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: you know, we really have obviously almost nothing in common

191
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: with NPR, and we have separate audiences as well. NPR

192
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: people are happy with that station, and KFI people are

193
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: happy here. There's almost no crossover, but you know, it

194
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: doesn't stop people from wanting to make KFI warlike NPR.

195
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: I don't think they have any conversations at NPR about

196
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: making it more like KFI, even.

197
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 4: The delivery is different.

198
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: If the delivery is different.

199
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: Yes, they're all very soft spoken and earnest and serious,

200
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 2: and like I said before, I always thought they were

201
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: fairly straightforward. The issues they picked were left wing issues,

202
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: but in general their reporting was down the line. And

203
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 2: then suddenly, along with much of the rest of the world,

204
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 2: everybody went off the progressive cliff together. Well, now that

205
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 2: NPR's funding is on the line, PBS's funding is on

206
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: the line, there's congressional hearings because if all the American

207
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: public are going to pay taxes to fund NPR, and

208
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: they don't, you know, most of their money is actually

209
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: fundraising same thing PBS. But you know, there's there's a

210
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: certain percentage of government money that goes in and if

211
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: you're gonna take government money, I don't know it shouldn't

212
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: be down the middle entirely, or at least represent everybody

213
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: in some way. Well, they got a winner of a

214
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: CEO named Catherine Marr, who is an extraordinarily good looking woman.

215
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: By the way, what why does that off?

216
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 2: Because that shouldn't Because I hear her talk and I,

217
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: without looking at her, I'd say, boy, I'd really dislike

218
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: this person just because of her.

219
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: Oh, but now you now you like her because.

220
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: She's you give a look at her. It's like maybe

221
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't look at it. It's like Newsome. It's like,

222
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: that's right, it's like Newsom. John doesn't like Newsome, but

223
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: women do. Women do? Yeah, But I understand why they

224
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: find him attracted.

225
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 4: I say, he's, yes, he's attractive.

226
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: But if you don't like how attractive?

227
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 5: Is he?

228
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: Like one to ten scale? What would you give him?

229
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 4: I would give him a nine, a nine. I think

230
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 4: he's he's a good looking good is he?

231
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: Is he better looking now with the gray hair or

232
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: is he better now?

233
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 5: Oh?

234
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: So he might have been a ten two years ago.

235
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 4: Oh he'd still be about a nine and maybe eight

236
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 4: or nine. I mean, he's a good looking guy, but

237
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 4: that doesn't that's not going to sway how I feel about.

238
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: His politics right by this woman.

239
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 4: But she obviously yeah, I.

240
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: Mean she's in her forties. She's definitely a nine. Well,

241
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: I haven't seen I'd give her a nine. Yeah, what

242
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: does she look like? I'm hot, blonde, hot blonde, Yeah,

243
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: of course she looks like of course. However, she was

244
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: getting grilled. You'll hear Congressman Brandon Gill. They dug up

245
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: old quotes, old tweets from the past few years when

246
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: she was in her woke progressive glory. Let's play this cut.

247
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 9: Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy?

248
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 10: I believe that I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier,

249
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 10: I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the

250
00:11:59,120 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 10: last half decade.

251
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 5: It has evolved. Why did you tweet that?

252
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 10: I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't

253
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 10: be able to say, Okay.

254
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 9: Do you believe that America believes in black plunder and

255
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 9: white democracy?

256
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 10: I don't believe that, sir.

257
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 9: You don't read it, sad It's reference to a book

258
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 9: you were reading at the time, apparently, the Case for Reparations.

259
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 10: I don't think I've ever read that.

260
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 5: Book, Sir, you tweeted about it.

261
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 9: You said you took a day off to fully read

262
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 9: the Case for Reparations. You put that on Twitter in

263
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 9: January twenty twenty.

264
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 10: I apologies, I don't recall that I did. Okay, no

265
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 10: doubt that your tweet there is correct, but I don't recall.

266
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: Okay, you know she's very much.

267
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 4: Like Newsome, but she's hot, so it's okay.

268
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 2: They both are nines and they like hell even when

269
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: they're quite red handed.

270
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: That.

271
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: I love that last part about reading the book. Oh

272
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 2: could you play that again? That is classic.

273
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 9: You said you took a day off to fully read

274
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 9: the Case for Reparations.

275
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 5: You put that on Twitter in January twenty twenty.

276
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 10: Apologies, I don't recall that I did. I'm ok no

277
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 10: doubt that your tweet there is correct, but I don't

278
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 10: recall that.

279
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 5: Okay.

280
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 2: She writes on Twitter that she took a day off

281
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 2: and then claims she never read the book and doesn't

282
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: remember writing that.

283
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.

284
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: The Case for Reparations was the name of the book,

285
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: and obviously lawyers told her to say that. That is

286
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: the outclause. Whenever you have to give testimony, you're under

287
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 2: oath you're testified before Congress, you have a subpoena, you're

288
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: in front of a judge.

289
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't really remember.

290
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 4: But is it not lying?

291
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 6: Though?

292
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 3: If you say you don't remember, of course you remember something,

293
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: so then that's lying.

294
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 4: She's I just think she's lying. I'm just saying, yeah, I'm.

295
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: Saying that I think she's lying. Yeah, No, I think

296
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 2: she's lying. But that's what the lawyers tell you to

297
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 2: do because it's an unimprovable lie. You can't prove it

298
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: true what your memory is.

299
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 4: But you're taking an oath you shouldn't lie.

300
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's no risk of being charged with perjury.

301
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: See that's what that's what they're worried about.

302
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: They don't care.

303
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: She has no problem lying. It's like Losman has no

304
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: problem li but's it going to get me into some

305
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: kind of legal problem?

306
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 4: Got it?

307
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm not going to end up in jail.

308
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: It's like when Roger Clemens lied to Congress and said

309
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: he misremembered and made that word up out of complete

310
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: thin air.

311
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: That's true.

312
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: I'd never heard that word before, and then everybody started

313
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: using it. It was about about taking steroids.

314
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 8: Yep.

315
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: I misremembered that first question Brandon Gill asked about she

316
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: thought America was addicted to white supremacy. Now, how big

317
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: of a whack job do you have to be to

318
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: actually say that out loud or put it in a

319
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: tweet and believe it that America as a nation, like

320
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: much of the nation, is addicted to white supremacy. How

321
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: do you even think of that concept? And then she's

322
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: running in pr and she doesn't understand why everyone's accusing

323
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: NBR of being like a progressive looney bin. And that's

324
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: what's great about this is she had to answer for

325
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: it because she's taking all of our tax money. She's

326
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: not just taking left wing tax money. She takes everyway.

327
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: You know, if you're driving a truck right now, you know,

328
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: up up the ninety nine freeway and you're going you're

329
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: going back to your conservative little hamlet after putting it

330
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: in twelve hours of sweat and hard work. She's got

331
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: a little bit of your money there. And that's that's

332
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: what's wrong. You take, you take public money, and then

333
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: you provide programming for a narrow a narrow niche a

334
00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: narrow slice, and that programming disrespects and in sults all

335
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: these other people who are also paying your bills and

336
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: paying your salary. I'm sure she's making hundreds of thousands

337
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: of dollars. That's what you can have. All the opinions

338
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: you want, doesn't matter to me, But you're taking my

339
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: tax money and then insulting me, and then you run

340
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: all this biased programming. Yikes, now they should they should

341
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: cut off funding. You know what do like we do? Yeah,

342
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: you're on a commercial station. You have to draw an

343
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: audience and then the advertisers want to sell their products

344
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: and services to that audience.

345
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: This is not easy. This is hard work. Okay.

346
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: It is really easy to sit in your office and

347
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: just have the government send you a chat.

348
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: But you go go out on the real mark.

349
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: You go and try to engage an audience that an

350
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: advertised that advertisers want, and that the audience wants to

351
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: buy their products and their services. All Right, it's a

352
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: it's a difficult business, and it's gotten more and more

353
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: difficult as the years go by. But she's had it easy. Yeah,

354
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: they hold they hold the little fundraisers, you know, they

355
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 2: did do the begathons, and then the money comes in

356
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: and they they get their government grants their government subsidies.

357
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: That's what pisses me off.

358
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: You know, if if you're competing in the marketplace and

359
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 2: your programming wins and your opinions win, well, then they

360
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: win and you make profits.

361
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: That's good.

362
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: But wow, to get to get a big safety net

363
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: from the government and then soak the hell out of

364
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: all the taxpayers that are paying for this. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

365
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: we're all addicted to white supremacy. But however, she is

366
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: very good looking. Uh, when we come back, Well, you

367
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 2: get news some of nine again, you get new some

368
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: on nine.

369
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 4: I said eight nine. Well I back traced or backtracked

370
00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 4: a little bit.

371
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: Like eight point six maybe, But.

372
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 3: Again I could say somebody is attractive. That doesn't mean

373
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 3: I'm gonna excuse them for things.

374
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm not excusing her.

375
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 4: Okay.

376
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 2: Oh, when we come back, Gavin Newsom had ordered Caltrans

377
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: to get the homeless encampments off state land. Well, then

378
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 2: in San Diego they haven't done that, and the crazy

379
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 2: vagrants and mental patients keep setting fires, lots and lots

380
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: of fires. Not as many fires as so cal Edison

381
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: starts every year, but and so col Edison charges its

382
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: customers a lot of money every month.

383
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. You're so cal Edison, right you're not?

384
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 5: Yes?

385
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 4: I am yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

386
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: Yes, stay with me here. You're dreaming.

387
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 4: I'm DWP, right you are.

388
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: I thought you were so cowed.

389
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 4: No, I'm DWP. That's why you caught me off guard.

390
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we'll sort all this out in a few minutes.

391
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 4: Uh de Marcus, I am DWP for sure, all right.

392
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: Okay, I believe you as you're in LA.

393
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 4: Well, and I complain all the time about my DWP bills.

394
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: I know. I just got confused.

395
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm glad you're confused.

396
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 3: I'm not, but you tried confusing me and then we

397
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 3: were both confused again.

398
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A

399
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:17,640

Speaker 2: for the series she did on suicide. If you remember

410
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: when we played that, it was very powerful and moving.

411
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 2: And she also won for Best Newscast on Our sh show,

412

414
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: as I've ever gotten.

415
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 4: Oh and I don't want to disappoint.

416
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 3: And in case you have never looked on social media,

417
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 3: I'm not a nine as that woman that John is

418
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 3: talking about.

419
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 4: But you know you can still you can still look.

420
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: Have some self confidence.

421
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, I don't know, hot blood, I'm going

422
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 4: to give you that.

423
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, then I think people should go online and

424
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 2: give a rate.

425
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: Do you want that?

426
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 10: Can you imagine?

427
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: Let's let's see what it averages out to.

428
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 4: Some of these.

429
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 3: Listeners are pretty mean, some of them, most of them.

430
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: Most of them are very nice, but there are some

431
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 3: that are pretty harsh, and I would God, I would

432
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 3: love for those people to put themselves out.

433
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: Sure we could rate the listeners too.

434
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 2: I love.

435
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 4: So much.

436
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 2: Let them rate you and you can rate them asthon idea. Yeah,

437
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: all right, to go to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, whatever, you

438
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: and you'll see the photos.

439
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: All right, Newsom, this is classic. This is what I'm

440
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: talking about.

441
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 2: If anybody, if there were any journalists who really wanted

442
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: to dig their teeth into Newsom's record, what he is

443
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 2: great at is he'll hold a press conference and make

444
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 2: a proclamation, an executive order, and he'll form a commission

445
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 2: or a blue ribbon panel or some kind of investigation

446
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: he calls for, and then nothing ever happens. Last summer,

447
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom issued an executive order demanding that state agencies

448
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 2: quickly clear all the homeless encampments that are on state land,

449
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 2: for example Caltrans land that surrounds freeways and freeway ramps.

450
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 2: It's time to move with urgency, he said in a video.

451
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: There are no longer any excuses. Well, according to Blake Nelson,

452
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 2: he writes for the San Diego Union Tribune, in the

453
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 2: San Diego area, there now seems to be more tense

454
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: than ever near San Diego's highway on and off ramps,

455
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 2: which are in general managed by Coltrans. And this happened

456
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: after local governments banned camping on city sidewalks. The Supreme

457
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 2: Court said, you, mister vagrant, mister drug addict, mental patient,

458
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 2: you have no right to sleep on public land. So

459
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: the cities in many cases enforced this law, not Karen Bass,

460
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 2: and they.

461
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: Kicked them off. So they went to state land.

462
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 2: But wait, Gavin Newsom says, move with urgency, no excuses,

463
00:22:54,760 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 2: all tent encampments gone. But Gavin Newsom doesn't enforce his proclamations,

464
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 2: and it's an executive order with no follow through. A

465
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: spokesperson for the San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria is named

466
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: Rachel Ling, and she said since the start of last year,

467
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: more than sixty local fires had begun by encampments next

468
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 2: to roadways, but the total went up dramatically if you

469
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: looked at all the fires within one hundred streets, within

470
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 2: one hundred feet of streets that caltrans monitors. San Diego

471
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: is negotiating with the state about giving city crews authority

472
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 2: more authority to clear the encampments on state property. But

473
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 2: a sticking point maybe who pays for what because collecting

474
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: debris could be expensive. Now, if Newsome didn't blow twelve

475
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 2: billion dollars on illegal alien healthcare, and seventeen billion dollars

476
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: on high speed rail, and thirty billion dollars giving away

477
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: a legal alien, giving away unemployment money to fraudsters, and

478
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: then twenty four billion dollars lost on homelessness unaccounted for.

479
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 2: Maybe he'd have a few bucks to give to the

480
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 2: city of San Diego to clean up the homeless on

481
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 2: state land, but he's blown so much money that he's

482
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: they're now nitpicking, penny pinching on who's going to clean

483
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: up the tents and the broken bicycles and all the

484
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: filthy garbage. The state has given the region millions of

485
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: dollars for the vagrants, and the agency removed nine hundred

486
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 2: and forty three encampments, but homelessness continues to grow. Wait

487
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: a second, They removed nine hundred and forty three encampments

488
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 2: in San Diego just last year, hundred and forty three.

489
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 2: But homelessness is growing. There are nowhere near enough beds

490
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: for everybody. Well, maybe you then put them in jail

491
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 2: or force them into rehab. How about that. That's what

492
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 2: gonna That's what they're gonna do. In San Jose, we

493
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: had the mayor on Matt Mayhem. That's what that's what

494
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 2: they they want to do. And uh, there's lots and

495
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 2: lots of fires all over the place. They talk about

496
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 2: one woman, she's forty seven years old, and she wakes

497
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: up at a tent and she starts slapping at her

498
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: head and she scrambles from the tent. Her hair was

499
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 2: on fire. You've heard that saying my hair was on fire.

500
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: Her hair actually was on fire, and uh, she and

501
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: her dog made it out. Her name is La. She

502
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 2: goes by her middle day.

503
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 4: What's the middle name.

504
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: Middle name is Law.

505
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 4: Oh, the middle name is law.

506
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 1: First name is Tralla.

507
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: So the side of priment record show that her tent

508
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 2: went on fire on March twenty first, before sunrise. Well,

509
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 2: what was going on in her tent that her tent

510
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 2: and her hair went on fire. What was she smoking

511
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: in there? Two days later, a tree ignited near another

512
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 2: camp site. They're on Coltrans land, and the fires highlight

513
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 2: the difficulties of keeping Caltrans property free of encampments. When

514
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 2: there are a few places for homeless people to go,

515
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: it's like no, no, no, They're not allowed on the

516
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 2: city streets or city parks or sidewalks or cowtransland. You

517
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: just keep shoving them along. No, no, not here, not here,

518
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: not here. Go get a job. Hello, go get a job.

519
00:26:59,320 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to work.

520
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 2: No more mainlining heroin and fentonyl no more snorting Math's

521
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 2: that's over. If you're with so Cal Edison, twenty six

522
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: dollars every month goes for fire prevention, wildfire related spending.

523
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 2: It's supposed to reduce the number of wildfires. It's about

524
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: three hundred dollars a year. They're supposed to spend it

525
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 2: on insulated wires, tree trimming, weather stations, inspections.

526
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: We come back.

527
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 2: I'll tell you how much fires started by Edison have increased.

528
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 2: You see a theme here. Newsom, when he's lying, insists

529
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 2: that all these fires are from climate change and global warming.

530
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: Looks like they're from homeless and the electric utility companies.

531
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: Because the number of fires that the vagrant start is

532
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 2: in the seventeen thousand range here in LA, and the

533
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 2: number of fires that Edison starts, just as one example

534
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 2: increased has increased dramatically. So I don't think it's climate change.

535
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 2: I think it's vagrant and the utilities because there's no

536
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 2: consequences for either group. We'll give you more.

537
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: We come back.

538
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,959
Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

539
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 8: six forty.

540
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: John Cobelt after three o'clock Karl Demayo the Republican Assemblement

541
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: from San Diego. Boy, he seems like every week he's

542
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 2: hitting the news, shaking things up, pissing people off. We're

543
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: going to play you right before Carl comes on. Carl

544
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: was speaking during the Assembly hearing about Caesar Chavez because

545
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: it was it today or yesterday? Was Caesar Chavez Dad,

546
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: Today's Caesar Chavez Day. He was the Mexican Union leader.

547
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: And I guess he organized so well they named a

548
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 2: holiday after him, so government workers don't have to work.

549
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 2: Don't really get it, but that's what they do. Uh

550
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: So Caesar Shaves Day. And Carlo Mayo said publicly that, hey,

551
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: you know, Caesar Shav has opposed to legal immigration, and

552
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 2: uh well that caused that caused some other assemblymen to

553
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: lunge at him.

554
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: There's some kind of physical activity there.

555
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 4: We got violence.

556
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: Well I don't know. It says he loved the guy

557
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: lunged because he was so angry.

558
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 2: He said Chavez to stood for secure borders and against

559
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 2: the legal immigration. And some other Democrat went nut. So

560
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: we'll play with some audio from it, and then we're

561
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 2: gonna have carl On and he's also got another issue

562
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: to talk about it as well. All right, So the

563
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: last segment we talked about how there's so many fires

564
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 2: starting in San Diego on State coltrans land near the highways,

565
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: even though Newsom had an executive order last summer saying

566
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: this has got to stop. Well, it hasn't stopped because

567
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: Newsom hasn't hired the cruise, isn't paying the cruise to

568
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 2: clean out the homeless encampments. So there's more homeless than

569
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: ever before and more fires than ever before. Now, another

570
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 2: big cause of these fires is electrical lines, whether it's

571
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 2: PG and E, DWP, so Cal Edison in this case.

572
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: The Time says a story that so Cal Edison charges

573
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: customers on average twenty six dollars a month three hundred

574
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: dollars a year, and it goes to prevent wildfires, insulating wires,

575
00:30:55,160 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: trimming trees, building weather stations, more inspections of their failing equipment.

576
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 2: So on average you're spending three hundred dollars extra a year.

577
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: And what's happened, Well, the number of fires sparked by

578
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: Edison equipment hit one hundred and seventy eight last year,

579
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy eight ten years ago, it's only

580
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 2: one hundred and seven. They have spent billions of dollars

581
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: over the last ten years on fire prevention. They spent

582
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: almost two billion last year, and the number of fires

583
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: are up by about two thirds. They're spending accounts for

584
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 2: fifteen percent of the average electrical bill two years ago

585
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: it was nine percent. So they keep jacking up the fee,

586
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 2: jacking up the fee. They're taking billions and billions of dollars.

587
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 2: They're allegedly spending it on these fire prevention projects, and

588
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 2: it's not working.

589
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: They're getting more and more fires.

590
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 2: And then you have the idiot governor saying it's the

591
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: climate change. No, it's the climate change. But it's not

592
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: the climate change. It's the electric companies. It's the vagrants,

593
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 2: the drug addicts, and the mental patients. Do you know

594
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: that Edison equipment has sparked eight hundred and forty one

595
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: vegetation fires in the last ten years. Eight hundred and

596
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: forty one. The lines, the electrical lines fall, they ignite

597
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 2: the dried out vegetation. If they buried the lines, which

598
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 2: they should have done decades ago, then you wouldn't have

599
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 2: You'd have eight hundred and forty one fewer fires. If

600
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 2: all the vagrants were kicked off the streets of Los

601
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: Angeles and told to go to UH drug treatment or jail,

602
00:32:54,600 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 2: you'd have seventeen thousand fewer fires. So climate change isn't

603
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 2: causing the fires. Drill that into some of these idiots heads.

604
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 2: It's the mental patient vagrants, and it's the electric companies.

605
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: They're causing the fires by the thousands. But that's all right.

606
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 2: Government officials, utility officials are going to keep lying. The

607
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 2: UH people who run those criminal nonprofits are going to

608
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 2: keep lying, and the media will keep amplifying the lies

609
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: until everybody leaves the propaganda, because that's the way it works.

610
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 2: All right, We come back. So Carl Demyo, the Republican assemblyman,

611
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: was trying to point out since today Caesar Chavez Day,

612
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 2: that Caesar Chavez stood for secure borders and against illegal immigration,

613
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: and that pissed off at least one Democrat so much

614
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: that he physically lunged at the Mayo while at an

615
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 2: assembly hearing. I guess I find out all the details,

616
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 2: Carl will be in minutes Debora Mark is live in

617
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,640
