1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: We're on from one until four and then after four o'clock.

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: If you missed anything, John Cobelt's show on demand on

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 2: the iHeart app. That's the podcast version, and you can

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 2: hear that tonight tomorrow all weekend. In fact, you could

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 2: hear any of our shows on the iHeart app all

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: week and long. You might want to listen to yesterday's

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: big deal down at the Honda Center in Anaheim. We

10
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: were collecting signatures to do a major rewrite of Prop

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: forty seven, thirteen hundred signatures. Collecting yesterday, thirteen hundred CAFI

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: listeners showed up and did that in three hours, which

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 2: is it's a big number. And that also saved the

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: organizers fifteen thousand dollars because that's that's how much it

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: would cost to gather thirteen hundred signatures, so they'll believe

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: able to use that money to get other signatures and

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: people who didn't show up yesterday. But thank you for

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: coming yesterday, and thank you to Todd Spitzer and the

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: people at the Honda Center for letting us use their

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: parking lot and We've got another signature gathering show to

21
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: do on March twenty eighth, Thursday. It's going to be

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: in La County. Details to come as we ramp up

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: towards election Day, which is March fifth, Tuesday. Actually, I

24
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: think today was the first day of walking voting in

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: La County. Mail in voting has gone on for a

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: number of weeks, although I have read that the mail

27
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: in turnout has been pretty low. I think statewide only

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: about four percent of the voters have sent in their ballots.

29
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 2: This is an odd election because on the president. Normally

30
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: a presidential year race you get a big turnout, but

31
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: both parties are decided. It's going to be Trump and

32
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: Biden at least through the primary season, unless something happens

33
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: to them, you know, like they drop dead. Since they're

34
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: probably not going to drop dead, there's there's no drama.

35
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: So what really becomes more important here and really is

36
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: always more important than a presidential race, is these local

37
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: ballot measures and local races. For example, district attorney to

38
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: eliminate George Gascon from the DA's office. That is the

39
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: most important vote. This is also an important vote measure.

40
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: H l A boy, this snuck up on the world.

41
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: Some millionaire in New York City put this on the ballot,

42
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: and there's a bunch of these annoying, irritating bicycle groups

43
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 2: in town that the bicycle stuff is a cover though

44
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: what it really is is climate change fanatics and who

45
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: and who want to we want to force us out

46
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: of our car because they don't agree that we should

47
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: be driving, and so they're willing to go to extreme

48
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 2: measures like eliminate road lanes. Yes, a road diet like

49
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 2: the ones we beat back in pliot l Ray a

50
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: few years ago. Well, the concept is back and they

51
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: want to replace car lanes on the major boulevards in

52
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: Los Angeles with bike lanes bus lanes curbing that you'll

53
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: have a bike lane and then you'll have a curb

54
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: between the car lanes and the bike lane. And this

55
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: is disastrous for traffic. Believe me, I saw this in

56
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: person when they tried the experiment in pliadel reg It

57
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: does nothing but create traffic. And that's why the firefighters

58
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles are against this stupid idea because how

59
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: are the fire trucks going to get around? How are

60
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: the ambulances going to get around? And we're now going

61
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: to talk with United Firefighters of the City of Los

62
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: Angeles President Freddie Escobard to tell us the firefighters heugh, Freddie,

63
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: how are you.

64
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: Good, John?

65
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 4: And thank you.

66
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 5: Socided to start off with not only congratulations on the signatures.

67
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 5: We need all the residents of Los Angeles, all the

68
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 5: county residents to come out. First of all, I want

69
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 5: to add we got to get rid of gasco. We

70
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 5: need people to enforce the laws, and then we need

71
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 5: the residents of Los Angeles to go to the ballot

72
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 5: and vote no on HLA. It is going to be

73
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 5: disastrous for the City of Los Angeles, especially the members

74
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 5: that I represent, when they dial nine one.

75
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: One, when they dial nine one one.

76
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: If all the major boulevards are shrunk down by a

77
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: lane in each direction, what's going to happen when somebody

78
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: calls for an ambulance or a firetruck.

79
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 5: Well, it's not what is going to happen, it's what's

80
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 5: happening now. I'm an active thirty I'm coming up by

81
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 5: my thirty fifth year service in the LAFD. Prior to that,

82
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 5: I served in the Marine Corps. Southern Government issue my

83
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 5: entire life, and we have consequences when we don't tell

84
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 5: the truth. HLA is full of misleading lies. And I

85
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 5: also want to preface is that we do believe that

86
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 5: we want safe pedestrian access. But this HLA measure was

87
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 5: not consulted with the fire department. It was not consulted

88
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 5: with our leadership. It snuck up on us. And they

89
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 5: did it purposely because if they would have reached out

90
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 5: to our fire chief and I don't want to speak

91
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 5: for her, but I know the facts that she would

92
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 5: have said absolutely, no, this is not safe, and no,

93
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 5: she's not going to sign off on this.

94
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 2: That's why they didn't talk to you. They know what

95
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: the answer would be because that's the reality. How could

96
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: it be safe? How could I mean, everyone knows this

97
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: driving every day. What happens when a car breaks down

98
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: in the right lane of a freeway or the right

99
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: lane of a major boulevard because there's a big traffic backup,

100
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: right because everybody's got to going to merge and squeeze

101
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: around it. Imagine how you've closed the entire lane for

102
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: the whole length of the boulevard.

103
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and wanted to finish the last question. So it's

104
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 5: happening today. We have the lanes that have been modified.

105
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 5: As I mentioned, I'm a thirty five year veteran of

106
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 5: the LAFD. I'm still active in the field at one

107
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 5: of the stations that I work at often, the fire

108
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,119
Speaker 5: station eleven between Bonnie Barry and Burlington on Seventh Street.

109
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 5: If you go east on Seventh Street between Figaroa all

110
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 5: the way to skid Row. They've done that disastrous decision

111
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 5: and when we work there, we have to modify our

112
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 5: routes going to the addresses and it is a delay

113
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 5: of response. Everybody knows about the big fire that they

114
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 5: had at the ten Freeway. I was working that night.

115
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 5: The call came on and our driver, who knows the district, knew, Hey,

116
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 5: we can't go down Seventh Streets because of the traffic.

117
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 5: We're going this way. So imagine if you're dialing nine

118
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 5: to one one and you need the first responders there,

119
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 5: because every second counts when you're dialing nine one one

120
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 5: to have a successful outcome.

121
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: So the night of that huge fire that could have

122
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 2: melted the ten Freeway, the fire trucks had to be

123
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: rerooted because of the road diets.

124
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 5: The drivers are well aware of the routes. They know

125
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 5: the traffic pattern, and yes, we took a different route

126
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 5: than going directly there.

127
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: That's that just shouldn't be allowed.

128
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, they impose a lot of laws

129
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: and they correct a lot of situations based on safety

130
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: that that should have been overwritten, overruled, just based on

131
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: what you're telling me here.

132
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we know it got on the ballot

133
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 5: by signatures, right. Yeah, when we were made aware of it.

134
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 5: The UFLAT United Firefighters of Los Angeles City represent me

135
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 5: and I get to and I'm humbled and honored to

136
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 5: represent over thirty four hundred sisters and brothers of the

137
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 5: LA FD. We made a decision and to do the

138
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 5: right thing and fight this because we know how disastrous

139
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 5: is going to be for the residents of Los Angeles

140
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 5: and also for the safety of the members that I

141
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 5: and the executive Board represents, because they're going to have

142
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 5: to deal with all these pearls that are occurring now

143
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 5: with the existing road diets. It's disastrous. Go to Council

144
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 5: District eleven where then council Member Bonding put those in.

145
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 5: They're disastrous. That's why he was removed out of office.

146
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the first recall effort.

147
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they've been tried. San Francisco tried them, it failed.

148
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 5: New York has tried them, it failed. Boston has tried them.

149
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 5: It failed.

150
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: Also, also, it's not fair that you make a lane

151
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: you give them one third or one half of the

152
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 2: roadway when they're a tiny, insignificant percentage of the traffic.

153
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: Ninety nine percent of people travel around in cars, and

154
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 2: there's these tiny fractions that take a bus or a

155
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 2: bicycle or they walk. But predominantly the way to get

156
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: around southern California, and it's been that way for since

157
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: the nineteen forties, is you have to drive a car.

158
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: That's just the way it is.

159
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 6: Yeah.

160
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 5: And also what's wrong is that this measure was purposely

161
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 5: put in without any consulting with the fire Service, with

162
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 5: the police department, by these members that want this at

163
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 5: and they're sacrificing the residents of Los Angeles. I just

164
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 5: don't understand why we don't have everyone in the council

165
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 5: standing with us so saying no on HLA.

166
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 2: I wonder when they were pitching this to get signatures,

167
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: what they were saying or what like the top line

168
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: description was, because I know people go, oh, isn't that wonderful?

169
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: To have a bike lane. I mean, that's just but no,

170
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: nobody actually drove bike in the streets.

171
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: Nobody does that.

172
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely. I don't know what they were saying, but

173
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 5: one thing I could tell you they weren't talking about facts.

174
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 5: It's misleading. And this is that our number one issue

175
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 5: is the safety of the public that we serve, and

176
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 5: then the other issues that we as first responders deal with,

177
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 5: this stuff behavior of health wise. We all have families,

178
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 5: we all have loved ones, We have loved ones that

179
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 5: live in the city of Los Angeles. God forbid that

180
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 5: we're delayed because of a road diet that is going

181
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 5: to live with us every single day of our lives

182
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 5: after that incident, as it does today, when we don't

183
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 5: have successful outcomes, we critique ourselves or haunor ourselves because

184
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 5: we want every incident to come out successful, and the

185
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 5: reality is it doesn't.

186
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: Nobody should be making your job more difficult, or the

187
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: job of all the firefighters you represent more difficult. We

188
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: need you guys to show up as quickly as possible.

189
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: Speed is one of the most important components to have

190
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: in firefighting, obviously, right speed speed, whether it's to put

191
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 2: out the fire or it's to save somebody's life who

192
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: had a heart attack. We need everybody getting there as

193
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: fast as possible. This will slow you down to a

194
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: dead stop.

195
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 5: Absolutely. I mean I'm biased. I believe that the City

196
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 5: of Los Angeles is the best fire department in the nation,

197
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 5: in the world, with the brothers and sisters that want

198
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 5: the best outcome out of it. Out of this this

199
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 5: will be disastrous not only for our going from point

200
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 5: A to point B, but also it's an unfunded liability

201
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 5: to the residence of Los Angeles. We need the residence

202
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 5: of LA to vote know on HLA. Come out, go out,

203
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 5: walk to your ballot place. We need the votes. We

204
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 5: need LA to wake up and participate and vote no

205
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 5: on HLA.

206
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: Well, the good thing is that firefighters have I think

207
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: the highest approval rating of any government department out there,

208
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: and I hope they listen to you and the rest

209
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: of the spokespeople with the LA Fire Department as you

210
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: continue to campaign over the next two weeks to stop

211
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: measure HLA. Freddie Eskimar, thank you for coming on.

212
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 5: Thank you, brother John, thank you for the candid conversation.

213
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 5: And Los Angeles, not only the city LA. Vote no

214
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 5: on Gascon and vote no on HLA if you live

215
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 5: in the city of Los Angeles.

216
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: Thanks Freddy. We've got moistline coming up next.

217
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM

218
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 7: six forty.

219
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: We have another balloon floating across the United States. They're

220
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: claiming no threat to national security, but the military is

221
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: tracking The balloon went across the Western States and NORA

222
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: said it detected the object and it was floating between

223
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: forty three thousand and forty five thousand feet and its

224
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: presence prompted enough concern that NORAD sent up aircraft to investigate,

225
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: and it was intercepted over Utah and they determined the

226
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 2: balloon was not maneuverable. I guess it can't be maneuvered

227
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: from an outside power. It's just floating on its own.

228
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 2: It's going to be over Georgia by Friday night. Made

229
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: of my lar. What is this a birthday balloon? It

230
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 2: had a small cube shaped box two feet long on

231
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 2: each side. And they can't they don't have any other information.

232
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: But I thought these balloons are up there all the time.

233
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: If they're up there all the time, why would this

234
00:13:54,840 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 2: one cause a news alert. I don't know anything all right,

235
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: time for it's Friday. It's the moistline one eight seven

236
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: seven moist eighty six one eight seven seven moist eighty six.

237
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: If you want to be on next week, let's have

238
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: at it. Hey, it's Sean. Thanks for calling the moistline.

239
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to hear from you. To baptime.

240
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 8: Why does no one saying no on composition one?

241
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 9: Those ding Democrats want more money for.

242
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 8: A homeless when they let him live all over the place.

243
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 10: Anyway, the car is a symbol of our freedom, the

244
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 10: freedom to change direction at will, not to be herded

245
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 10: around in buses and trains.

246
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 11: If you want to stop this madness and craziness across

247
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 11: the entire country, especially here in California, never ever book

248
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 11: for a democratic ever again.

249
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 10: Copper wiring.

250
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 5: Why are we si nothing with copper?

251
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 10: They should be doing it with the fiber optics.

252
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 6: Geez, I got a thing about the copper and brass recycling.

253
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 6: I pick up scraps after work and everything. Put anything

254
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 6: over twenty five dollars. They want my ID and they're

255
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 6: going to send me check in two days. So someone's

256
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 6: got to be working with these guys that are taking

257
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 6: it into. So it's not just that easy that you

258
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 6: can take eleven thousand dollars a copper and go take

259
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 6: it in and get eleven thousand dollars worth. There's something

260
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 6: else to it.

261
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: The Chinese economy is crashing.

262
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: That's why they're all coming here, because they're coming to

263
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: the greatest country under the greatest president of all time.

264
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 8: Maybe the US.

265
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 12: It's come to the point where we're now a thirdo

266
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 12: country and we have to resort to heavy, tough measures

267
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 12: against these criminals. Why don't they put electrified wiring on

268
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 12: these things and make it rigged so anybody that tries

269
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 12: to steal them immediately gets sucked. That would stop these

270
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 12: scumbag mothers s.

271
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 13: Garantee you that restriction on traffic is what the elites

272
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 13: on the left want. They want to keep you in

273
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 13: control so you can't go anywhere. That's why you have

274
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 13: electric cars come up, because if you have an electric

275
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 13: car grid or no grid, that takes you in ordinate

276
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 13: time to go long distances, so you won't go.

277
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 14: What they're doing with these bike lanes is they're prepping

278
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 14: the city for low income housing, and every city is

279
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 14: required to have a certain number of houses that are

280
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 14: low income. So what they do is they wreck all

281
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 14: the roads, put in bike lanes, start criming in low

282
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 14: income stuff, so the homeless and the people that don't

283
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 14: make any money have somewhere to ride their bicyclests.

284
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 15: We finally figure out a way to get around the

285
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 15: political correctness BS.

286
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: Let artificial intelligence give us the bad news that men

287
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: and women were different.

288
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 16: Who knew if I enjoyed bicycling I would get some

289
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 16: sort of deprogramming. It is not bad enough that adults

290
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 16: like to do this, but the fact that they dress

291
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 16: up and announce.

292
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: It is the same.

293
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 16: The shorts and the glasses, the stupid the tire, Yeah,

294
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 16: I don't like them.

295
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 17: There.

296
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 4: People crossing the border illegals should be deported to Mexico

297
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: if that's where they came across the border, act not

298
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 4: back to their home country, just the right back to Mexico,

299
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 4: and then maybe make still take seriously the problems they're

300
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 4: causing here.

301
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 9: That graffiti tower that was designed for condos and retail.

302
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 9: LA can build rehab for the homeless, vocational rehabs, some

303
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 9: of the abuse, rehab, low cost, low cost medical, so

304
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 9: much more. They don't even have to stuck it all

305
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 9: the way to the room, just a few floors to

306
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 9: get started.

307
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 13: So, John, speaking about your initiatives that last radio station.

308
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 11: If I had been the guy.

309
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 13: Who wallowed my fat self in and then you.

310
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: Came in and yelled at me about having this sat

311
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 3: there for five hours, I would have shot right back then.

312
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 13: Why didn't you wait five hours to talk to anyone?

313
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: Thank you for leaving your message, Please hang up, goodbye.

314
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: Coming up.

315
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: We got another round of Moistline in about a half

316
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 2: an hour, and after Debra's news, we're going to tell

317
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 2: you the story. And now I'm convinced there's something up

318
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: with there's some relationship between the US government the Mexican

319
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: president and why the border is wide open and the

320
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: cartels have full act says to bring all their fentanyl

321
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: meth here and that they can kill one hundred thousand

322
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 2: of US and nothing is done by the federal government.

323
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: The US did an investigation into the cartels and the

324
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: cartel's connection to the Mexican president, Andre's Menuel Lopez Obrador,

325
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: and they found out something pretty significant and then dropped

326
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: the investigation. Why did they drop the investigation that part,

327
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I'll tell you what they did

328
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 2: find that led them to consider taking action, and then

329
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 2: they backed off. I'll tell you about it coming up

330
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 2: Moistline by the way for next week's eight seven seven

331
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: Moist eighty six, eight seven seven Moist eighty six. And yes,

332
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 2: you heard a lot of bike response there no unmeasured HLA,

333
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 2: No unmeasured HLA. A lot of you are stuck in

334
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 2: traffic right now. If you want to make it horrendously

335
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 2: worse in the city of Los Angeles, no one measure HLA.

336
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 2: They're going to take away a road lane on every

337
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: single boulevard every mile of the city and turn it

338
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: into a bike lane for the weirdo spandex crowd.

339
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI Am sixty.

340
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: We're until four conway up after four o'clock and also

341
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: we'll post the podcast version of the show.

342
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: It's the same as the radio show.

343
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: John cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app as well.

344
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 2: And the Rebecca Grossman jury is gonna announce the verdict soon.

345
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: Four o'clock, four o'clock. And they got the case yesterday,

346
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: so it's pretty quick.

347
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they got it later yesterday. Yeah, so

348
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: they didn't spend a lot of time. Well neither did

349
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: the OJ jury. Remember OJ jury took what about four minutes.

350
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 2: So we'll we'll see. I mean, obviously she hit the

351
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 2: kids and killed them. Obviously, they they've got leeway with

352
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: the deciding what the guilty verdict can be.

353
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: It can be murder or it can be some version

354
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: of manslaughter.

355
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: So that'll be coming up in the four o'clock hour,

356
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 2: moist fine final round of it in a little while too.

357
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 2: The United States did an investigation. There is a story

358
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: that's not been fleshed out in detail. I think we

359
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: can all suspect this, but you see that seven million

360
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 2: illegal aliens have been allowed to come over the border

361
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 2: from Mexico into the United States, and you could see

362
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: that enormous, incalculable amounts of fentinyl and meth in cocaine

363
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: are coming over the border, and the fentinyl alone has

364
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: killed one hundred thousand people. I mean, it's just so

365
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: overwhelming and so shocking. One hundred thousand people. I mean,

366
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: that's twice as many that got killed in the Vietnam War,

367
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 2: for goodness sakes, and what we'd lose about three thousand

368
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: people on nine to eleven, So it's thirty three times

369
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: nine to eleven. And it's only been the last few years,

370
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 2: so obviously there's corruption going on. There's so much money,

371
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 2: billions and billions of dollars that the drug cartels make.

372
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 2: The Mexican president allows this, and the US president doesn't

373
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 2: do anything to put pressure or to criticize even the

374
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: Mexican president. So what's the deal, Who's getting a cut?

375
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 2: What are the payoffs? New York Times says this story

376
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: that the federal government spent years looking into allegations that

377
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 2: the Mexican president Andre's Manuel Lopez Obrador, known as Amlow,

378
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: that Oberdor had allies, and those allies would meet with

379
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: the drug card tells after Oberdor took office, end the

380
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 2: allies got millions of dollars from the drug cartels. The

381
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: New York Times says this is according to US records

382
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: and three people familiar with the matter. I wonder if

383
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: it's three frustrated investigators for the US. There is links.

384
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 2: And by the way, none of this is a surprise, right.

385
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 2: Everyone knows that the Mexican drug cartels and the government

386
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: are one and the same, one is embedded in the other. Well,

387
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: this I guess was a powerful evidence that the cartel

388
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 2: leaders and Mexican advisors and officials close to Oberdor had

389
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 2: some business.

390
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: Going on while he was governing the country.

391
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: They said they never opened a formal investigation to Obrador.

392
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: The government.

393
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: Apparently our government doesn't want to because Mexico is such

394
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 2: an important ally. Now Obdor is the allegations completely false,

395
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: and the cartels have dominated Mexican government from the lowest

396
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 2: levels in the little towns all the way to Obrador's administration.

397
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 2: The US officials claim they could not find any direct

398
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: connections between the president himself and the criminal organizations. But

399
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 2: there's a lot of money slashing around, and you would

400
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: think that some of it, some of it would end

401
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: up in some mysterious accounts that maybe someday Obrador would

402
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 2: have access to.

403
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: That would kind of make sense.

404
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: What are the allies all collecting the drug cartel money

405
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: for themselves and not the guy who has all the power,

406
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: who actually allows all the drugs to come to America,

407
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: allows all the human smuggling to occur. I mean, Obrador

408
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: ultimately is responsible. He's got the power to stop it.

409
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: He doesn't even try. We know why he doesn't try,

410
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: But where to believe that he's never seen a dime

411
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 2: of this or he won't see a dime of it someday.

412
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 2: Is that what they're trying to sell, And obviously it's

413
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: a difficult investigation. One of the sources told US officials

414
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 2: that a founder of the Zetas cartel paid four million

415
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: dollars to two of Obrador's allies so that he could

416
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 2: be released from prison. Also, one of Obrador's closest confidants

417
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 2: met with Ismael Zambada Garcia, a top leader of the

418
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: Cineloa drug cartel, before Obrador won his election in twenty eighteen.

419
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 2: The drug cartels have possession of videos of the president's

420
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 2: sons picking up drug money.

421
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: Hmm.

422
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 2: But of course none of the money reached Obrador, right,

423
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: so the sons picked up the drug money his allies

424
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: are meeting with the leaders of drug cartels. Law enforcement

425
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: in the US also independently tracked payments from people they

426
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: believe our cartel operatives to intermediarreas for Obrador. One of

427
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: those payments was made around the same time that Obrador

428
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: went to the state of Sinaloa and met with the

429
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 2: mother of Joaquin Guzman Laurira el Chapo he went in

430
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 2: and met with mother Choppo. Now El Chapo is in

431
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 2: a US prison now for the rest of his life,

432
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 2: but at some point the Mexican president was meeting with

433
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: mom more than ten years ago. Another investigation led by

434
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 2: the Drug Enforcement Administration found that traffickers had donated millions

435
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 2: of dollars to Obrador's unsuccessful presidential campaign in two thousand

436
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: and six. That was also closed without charges. It's tough

437
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 2: to bring legal charges against a foreign president because you

438
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 2: don't want to or they don't want to shred relationships

439
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: with Mexico. So instead Obrador and the drug car tells they,

440
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 2: I guess have a tacit agreement, and you end up

441
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: with one hundred thousand dead Americans from taking the fentanyl.

442
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 2: And by the way, a huge percentage of the homeless

443
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 2: people laying in the streets. They're laying in the streets

444
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 2: because of the myth and the fentanyl. And there's lots

445
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 2: of millions and millions of dollars slashing just around Obrador

446
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 2: all his friends. It pays to be a good friend

447
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: of Obrador, you get rich. But I'm sure he hasn't

448
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 2: seen it, seen a dime, So you wonder why Joe

449
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 2: Biden doesn't do anything about it. Does any of this

450
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: money swirling around me get back here to American politicians,

451
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 2: to American government officials, or as the Mexican president and

452
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 2: his allies, the only ones who are enjoying the runoff,

453
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 2: anything anything kicked back this way, any runoff. The time

454
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 2: says they bide administration handles Obradoor with great care, avoiding

455
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 2: public criticism, but send officials to meet with him and

456
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 2: press for migration enforcement. Well, he hasn't done anything.

457
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: Has he.

458
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 2: They've done nothing. Seven million people came over the border.

459
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: That's how the real world works.

460
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: We come back.

461
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 2: We've got Moistline Part two. Conway's coming up at four

462
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: sometime after four o'clock. We're going to get a verdict

463
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: in the Rebecca Grossman case. She's the wealthy woman who

464
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 2: ran over and killed those two little boys in Westlake

465
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 2: two years ago.

466
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

467
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 7: six forty.

468
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 2: So let's do around two of the Moistline. One eight

469

Speaker 2: seven seven moist eighty six.

470
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: Sean, thanks for calling the Moistline. I'm so excited to

471
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: hear from you about time.

472
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 3: So I just read online someone was saying that retail

473
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 3: seft is a victimless crime. And now I have to

474
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 3: stand behind a buzzer at Walmart to get my tide pods,

475
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 3: and some woman comes and she has to open the

476
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: glass casey for me to get my tide pods. Now,

477
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 3: who's the victim here? I'm the victim where all the

478
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 3: victims exist.

479
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 11: This is nonsense, Hey, Joe, not blaming the Republicans for

480
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 11: all the problems that have occurred at the border. You

481
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 11: know now you're talking that you may sign an executive

482
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 11: order right before the State of the Union address that

483
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 11: you can possibly fix everything.

484
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 9: You know, you could have done it all along.

485
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: Protected bike lanes should be called loser lanes.

486
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 17: Because the only ones.

487
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 10: Who use them are losers who can't afford a car.

488
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 8: Hopefull, You losers are enjoying the atmospheric river. It's really

489
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 8: important to remember this year that you eat your festivals,

490
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 8: not going toward them.

491
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 5: The state of California has a budget shortfall of anywhere

492
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 5: between fifty and seventy.

493
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 9: Five billion dollars.

494
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 5: How is Gavin Newsom going to blame the Republicans for

495
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 5: this one?

496
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 8: Oh, you can't hear Gavin Newsom who has been denying

497
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 8: he has any interest in being the president. When he

498
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 8: is finally asked by Joe Biden, he's like, you don't

499
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 8: say no to the president. If he asked you to

500
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 8: run for president, you don't say no to the call. Yeah,

501
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 8: he is so well brand.

502
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: Paul's absolutely right.

503
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 5: But the only thing that we didn't do that the

504
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 5: Chinese government do was well dous in our homes.

505
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 15: That's communism in regards to flushing the system of the politicians.

506
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 15: It needs to stay up on on both the state

507
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 15: level and the federal level. Everybody should vote for anybody

508
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 15: but the person who's currently in office. And that's regardless

509
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 15: of the party. Just vote for anybody else. Doesn't matter

510
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 15: if you stay in the same party. Just don't vote

511
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 15: for the same person.

512
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 11: Kevin Delione was four million dollars to secure that building

513
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 11: in downtown. Get a couple of guys, pay them thirty

514
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 11: dollars an hour, dagger them around the building. It doesn't

515
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 11: add up to.

516
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: Four million dollars in payroll.

517
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, out of down Kevin Delone. Anything that Governor Gippey

518
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 5: do is for is bad.

519
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 17: There's something also about the road diets that's going to

520
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 17: be a problem, since cars will be going a lot

521
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 17: slower and they'll be idling a lot in traffic. See

522
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 17: air pollution in Los Angeles area will go up.

523
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 3: I believe President's Day was established to honor George Washington

524
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 3: and Lincoln.

525
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 8: At the same time, breath and government in this country

526
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 8: would have Archie Bunker rolling over in his grave.

527
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: How about George going for president? Now, that would be

528
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: a great take for presidents.

529
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 18: I think he's a great da I am turning into

530
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 18: an angry old nan watching the Santa Ana River flood.

531
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 19: Into the ocean because these people will not build reservoirs

532
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 19: because they love having control over the one resources that

533
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 19: we need more than anything else. These are six disgusting people.
