You know, 32 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 3: there's like a relay system. You turn on one of 33 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 3: the cable channels, and I was listening to the radio 34 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 3: version and it's reporters sending in reports to producers who 35 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 3: are passing it to the anchors who were passing it 36 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 3: to the analysts.

I mean, the 112 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 6: court did say that she owes the attorney fees, you know, 113 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 6: but Trump obviously they even had her.

Last thing I saw is they 120 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 3: run a short break. 121 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, they'll they'll take those breaks. You know, the jury 122 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 6: gets a little tired and got to kind of refresh 123 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 6: themselves and and and it's so they're you know, they're 124 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 6: taking a little time, but they'll come back and we'll 125 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 6: see how much longer we'll go today.

From what I understand, she gets she 131 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 3: got very emotional on the stand and upset, and that 132 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 3: Trump in the morning was very angry as she was 133 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 3: telling the story of them having sex, and and he 134 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 3: was completely. 135 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 2: For him. 136 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 3: The worst position is he has no control over the 137 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 3: situation and if he says one more thing to judge 138 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 3: might throw him in jail. So he's got to shut up, 139 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 3: and he's got to take it. And of course, his 140 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: whole stick all this time was it never happened. And 141 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 3: then she's explosed in just excruciating detail exactly what they 142 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 3: did to each other's bodies, so it's clear that, yeah, 143 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 3: this did happen. This is a real thing. But from 144 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 3: what I understand, in the afternoon session, when she started 145 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 3: melting down to some extent under cross examination. Then he 146 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 3: was leaning back and he was more relaxed and kind 147 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: of enjoying the show to see her put on the 148 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 3: hot seat. Of course, she didn't even have to testify. 149 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 3: What they did to each other in the bedroom is 150 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 3: not the point of the case. The point of the 151 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 3: case is Trump falsifying his business records. When they decided 152 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: to pay off Stormy Daniels, Michael Cohen, the attorney, actually 153 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 3: took out a loan I think, took out something on 154 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 3: his home equity line of credit and gave it to Daniels, 155 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 3: and then Trump paid Cohen back and wrote it down 156 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: as legal fees, which it kind of was so I 157 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 3: you know, I've always been been I like a lot 158 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 3: of people, I don't really know exactly what the crime 159 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 3: is here, or if there's a crime, it's more like 160 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 3: a misdemeanor, paperwork crime, rather than the thirty four felonies 161 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 3: that Alvin Bragg is brought against Trump. I mean, there's 162 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 3: a lot of stuff that just doesn't add up here 163 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 3: except it's a political trial. So that's the bottom line. 164 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 3: It's a political trial, and it's also to embarrass Trump 165 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: by having Stormy Daniels, the porn star, get explicit about 166 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 3: their their their romp in the bed together. 167 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 2: How much you want to think of that? There's more 168 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 2: coming up. 169 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A 170 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 7: M six forty. 171 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 3: Just going through the testimony. The New York Times, among 172 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 3: other places, is doing kind of like a blow by 173 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 3: blow from minute to minute. And at one point, Trump's 174 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 3: defense team, because Stormy Daniels is on the state and today, 175 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 3: if you didn't hear Trump's defense team called for a mistrial, 176 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:09,599 Speaker 3: you want to know why, because there was there was 177 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 3: a there was a there was a question about whether 178 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 3: Trump wore a condom or not, and the defense team 179 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: thought that line of questioning was so prejudicial that the whole, 180 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 3: the whole trial should be thrown out. H The judge 181 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 3: in the case, Judge Murchan, says he agrees it would 182 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 3: have been better if Stormy Daniels hadn't gone in certain 183 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 3: directions and said that Daniels is a little bit difficult 184 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 3: to control. Having said that, I do think there were 185 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 3: guardrails in place, and I don't think we're at the 186 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 3: point where a mistrial is warranted. Mrchon says, I was 187 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 3: surprised there were not more objections. The defense has to 188 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 3: to take some responsibility for that, and he's the judges 189 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: saying I did all I could. I objected on my own. 190 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 3: Susan Neshly's Trump's lawyer said the defense team had tried 191 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 3: to strike so much of this beforehand, and Murchon. 192 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 2: Still let it in. The judge got upset with that statement. 193 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 3: She says that they were under the impression the prosecutors 194 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: were doing what Murchon allowed during questioning. So the judges 195 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 3: telling Trump's defense team, hey, you should be objecting more 196 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 3: if you don't want this line of questioning to continue, 197 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 3: and they said, well, we thought you had already previously 198 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 3: allowed it, and that's why the prosecution was doing it. 199 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 3: One of the prosecutors said, we were extremely mindful of 200 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 3: not let me see my my thing is jumping around here, 201 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,599 Speaker 3: myapenly mindful of not eliciting too much testimony about the 202 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 3: actual act. And Merchan had a strong response to that. 203 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 3: He said, well, the Todd Blanche Trump's lawyer says, the 204 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 3: testimony is deeply prejudicial, and what asked what the jury 205 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 3: is supposed to do with much of the information they 206 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 3: received from Daniel's testimony. See because again, the crime, if 207 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 3: there is a crime, is about Trump falsifying the records 208 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 3: to pay Stormy Daniels off to shut her up. Now, 209 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 3: the actual sex act that they had consummated with each 210 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 3: other is really irrelevant. It's about the payoff to bury 211 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 3: the story. Blanche said that the prosecution was asking questions 212 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 3: to inflame the jury. It's the pure embarrassment factor. There's 213 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 3: no way the court can instruct the jury to unring this. Bell, 214 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 3: reporter for the New York Times, said, won't be a 215 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 3: wouldn't have been a surprise if ber Chahan agreed to 216 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 3: a mistrial. So apparently it got graphic enough that this 217 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 3: is usually way out of bounds for a trial. And no, sorry, 218 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 3: she's saying it would be a surprise if he agreed 219 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 3: to a trial. He wasn't happy with the morning's testimony, 220 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 3: and various aspects of the story are not established fact. 221 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 3: There's established fact about the payment of the hush money. 222 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 3: But remember Trump denies that they had sex, so you're 223 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 3: you're in this. It seems like the trial went off 224 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 3: the rails where it became a discussion of the sex 225 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 3: act instead of what was the mechanism used to pay 226 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 3: Stormy Daniels And was Trump aware that the money was 227 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 3: going to Daniels. Obviously he was. But you have to 228 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 3: establish in court how you get from A to B 229 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 3: to C. That Cohen took out a home equity loan, 230 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 3: paid off Daniels, and then Trump wrote a check on 231 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 3: the Trump organizational account to compensate co It, and then 232 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 3: he puts legal work or legal fees on the accounting statement. 233 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 3: That's the crime that's supposed to be analyzed here. So 234 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 3: the sex stuff got out of hand. But then you 235 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 3: know you're dealing with the porn star. What she doesn't 236 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:37,599 Speaker 3: have any problem talking about an intimate sex act in 237 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 3: front of the jury in the rest of the courtroom, 238 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 3: because what does she do for a living. She's paid 239 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: to have sex with strangers and then have potentially thousands 240 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 3: or millions of people watched the sex act played. 241 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: Over and over again. I'm sure she's all over the 242 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: internet and her movies are big hits. 243 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 3: So her going into the detail seemed to have taken 244 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 3: everybody else by surprise because they don't live her life. 245 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 3: I don't know what the jurors would think of this. 246 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 3: We come back we've got more about other things in 247 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 3: the world. 248 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A 249 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 7: six forty. 250 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 2: We're on from one until four, then after four o'clock. 251 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 3: If you missed any part of the show, it's John 252 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 3: Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app. If anything 253 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 3: more comes to the starby Daniels cross examination testimony, we'll 254 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 3: tell you about it later in the show. Yesterday, about 255 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 3: this time, we were offering up a prayer for the 256 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 3: astronauts who were supposed to blast off into space last 257 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 3: night seven thirty four Pacific time from m Cape Canaveral 258 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 3: in Florida to head to the International Space Station. Now, 259 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 3: there have been a lot of flights to the Space 260 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 3: Station in recent years, but all of them have been 261 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 3: on Elon Musk's SpaceX rockets. This crew, they lost the 262 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 3: lottery and they ended up on the Boeing rocket, and 263 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 3: of course the mission got canceled last night because of 264 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 3: because of equipment issues. Now this is almost fine. I 265 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 3: don't know about you, but I wouldn't even buy a 266 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 3: Boeing toaster. I've been reading this story here from CBS 267 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 3: about what's gone wrong. There's two parts to this. You know, 268 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 3: you have what they call the Atlas five rocket, and 269 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 3: that is the rocket that takes the capsule on a 270 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 3: ride and then boosts the capsule into orbit so get 271 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 3: head towards the space station. The rocket is called an 272 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 3: Applus five Atlas five. The space capsule is called the Starliner. 273 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 2: And they were going to have. 274 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 3: Two astronauts, the commander Barry Wilmore and the co pilot 275 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 3: Junita Williams. And they were strapping in when suddenly they 276 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 3: scrubbed the launch and it's going to be delayed to 277 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 3: at least Friday or perhaps they have to send the 278 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 3: rocket back to the factory for repairs. 279 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 2: You're not gonna believe this. 280 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 3: They they've got they've got a pressure regulation valve on 281 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 3: the liquid oxygen tank and that sounds that sounds scary, right, 282 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 3: liquid oxygen. That sounds like something that could explode and burn. 283 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 3: I am not a rocket scientist, but you know I 284 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 3: can figure that out. And if the valve valve has 285 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 3: to be replaced, the rocket would have to be hauled 286 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 3: back to the Vertical Integration Facility for repairs. This is 287 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 3: like taking your your your Chevy to the shop and 288 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 3: they don't know how long it would take. Apparently this 289 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 3: pressure relief valve was trying to stabilize itself, and it 290 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 3: kept opening and closing and opening and closing, and it 291 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 3: started making a humming sound that the engineers could hear 292 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 3: at the launch pad, like a big rattle in a 293 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 3: junk car. 294 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 2: You have to have an old junk car and. 295 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 3: Something goes off in the engine and you could feel 296 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 3: the vibrations in your car. I mean the old cars 297 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 3: that I used to drive around when when I got 298 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 3: out of high school or like that. If something was 299 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 3: going wrong, the entire car would shake. So they're trying 300 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 3: to figure out how many how serious this pressure valve 301 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 3: situation is because they don't have any sensors to directly 302 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 3: measure the cycles. So if the valve can still work, 303 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 3: they might do a launch Friday, but if it has 304 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 3: to be replaced, they're going to have to haul it 305 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 3: back to the processing hangar and then it could be 306 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 3: next week. This star liner is running years behind schedule, 307 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 3: and it's more than a billion dollars over budget. In fact, 308 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 3: Boeing has had to put a billion dollars of its 309 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 3: own money and SpaceX and Elon Musk is running rings 310 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 3: around him. Over and over again. They've carried fifty astronauts 311 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 3: and civilians into orbit thirteen flights, and they both got 312 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 3: the contract at the same time. In twenty fourteen, both 313 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 3: Boeing and SpaceX both got multi billion dollar contracts. SpaceX 314 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 3: turned it into thirteen flights and fifty astronauts. Boeing is 315 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 3: at a zero right across the board. It was going 316 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 3: to be their first flight taking people into space last night, 317 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 3: but the engineers couldn't get comfortable and then they called 318 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 3: the launch off. 319 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, NASA gave. 320 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 3: NASA gave SpaceX a two and a half billion dollar 321 00:18:54,240 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 3: contract and gave Boeing a four billion dollar contract. And 322 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 3: on the two and a half billion dollars, SpaceX got 323 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 3: thirteen flights. On the four billion dollars, Boeing got nothing. 324 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean SpaceX has been sending people to 325 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 3: the space station since May of twenty twenty. May of 326 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 3: twenty twenty, they had the first test flight to the 327 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 3: space station. But they they they've had they've had software 328 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 3: issues on the Boeing flights going back to twenty nineteen. 329 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 3: They've had a variety of issues. Boy, this sounds exactly 330 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 3: like the plane's coming off the assembly line. 331 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: They had. 332 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 3: They had a test flight in May twenty twenty two, 333 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 3: but after the flight they found trouble with the parachute 334 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 3: harness connector. So I guess, I guess if the astronauts 335 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 3: had to parachute out at some point, the hornet didn't 336 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 3: connect right, So you go, you go flying to the 337 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 3: you go flying to the surface. And then they had 338 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 3: concern about oh yeah, we mentioned this yesterday, protective tape 339 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 3: around the wiring a miles worth that could catch fire 340 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 3: if there was a short circuit. You know what I 341 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,239 Speaker 3: noticed in this and in the stories on the UH, 342 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 3: on the on the airplane production problems, it's it's like 343 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: one hundred little things that nobody's nobody's paying attention to. 344 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 3: I guess this is definitely quality control stuff while the 345 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 3: space rocket or while the plane is being manufactured. 346 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: But a huge embarrassment. 347 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 3: I mean, they were hoping that the site of a 348 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 3: Boeing rocket going into the air and bringing astronauts to 349 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 3: the space station would wipe away the memory of the 350 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 3: last the last four months, and now it's just it's 351 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 3: just added to the embarrassment. Now, we spent a lot 352 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 3: of time on the minimum wage built here in California. 353 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 3: And yesterday I told you that about nine thousand jobs 354 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 3: had been lost in California since the minimum wage bill 355 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 3: for fast food restaurants was implemented for everybody but Panera. 356 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 3: In fact, yeah, ninety five hundred jobs. In fact, two 357 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 3: pizza chains fired about twelve hundred workers right off the 358 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 3: bat delivery workers. And now the National Review has another 359 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 3: story here. The unions pushed so hard to get these 360 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 3: minimum wages up to almost twenty dollars an hour, and 361 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 3: what has happened is numerous businesses have slashed hours, cut 362 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 3: staff levels, or closed their doors. Now did the union 363 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 3: tell the workers that this was going to happen, that 364 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 3: we'll get you twenty bucks an hour, but you are 365 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 3: going to lose hours or be fired entirely, or the 366 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 3: restaurant will shut down. They talked to Carmen Bolos, a 367 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 3: small business owner in West Hollywood who laid off forty 368 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 3: percent of her staff last ditch effort to keep her 369 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 3: business alive after the minimum wage hike. She laid off 370 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 3: forty percent. New York Times is a story about another 371 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 3: restaurant owner, Josiah Citron. He was forced to cut his 372 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 3: staff by thirty percent. Did the union explain that in advance, 373 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, we'll get you twenty bucks, but it'll 374 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 3: be uh, you'll be home. Actually you'll be getting nothing. 375 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 3: You're not going to go from seventeen to twenty, you'll 376 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 3: go to zero. Marco Capani, another restaurant owner, said, for 377 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 3: a small business like ours, it's costing us a few 378 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 3: thousand dollars to meet this new minimum wage. It's the 379 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 3: highest in the country. It's really tough. 380 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: You know. 381 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 3: Just last year alone, eighty five business is shut down 382 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 3: in West Hollywood and now only now is West Hollywood 383 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 3: commissioning a study to assess the impact of the minimum 384 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 3: wage law on local businesses. 385 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: See. 386 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 3: West Hollywood was raising the cost of minimum wage going 387 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 3: back to twenty twenty one. They got it up to 388 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 3: seventeen dollars and sixty four cents, went from thirteen an 389 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 3: hour to seventeen sixty four, and then nineteen dollars an 390 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 3: hour last July, and then the state moved it to twenty. 391 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 3: So we're talking in a three year time, it went 392 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 3: from thirteen to twenty dollars, and so eighty five businesses 393 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 3: closed in West Hollywood. 394 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 2: This is a disaster. 395 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 3: Twenty two percent of hourly workers in West Hollywood lost 396 00:23:53,440 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 3: their jobs, seventeen percent experienced reduced hours. Forty two percent 397 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 3: of businesses had to lay off workers again West Hollywood. 398 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 3: One third of businesses that reduced employee hours turned to technology. 399 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 3: West Hollywood was supposed to have another minimum wage increase 400 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 3: this July. Fifty restaurants petitioned to suspend it, and the 401 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 3: council agreed at least temporarily forcing minimum wage increases on 402 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 3: employers for jobs whose value is low. The value of 403 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 3: making fast food does not increase. There's no way to 404 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 3: make that job worth more than it is. 405 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 2: And it was. It was stupid. 406 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 3: But this is all based on bribery, the union's bribe politicians. 407 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 3: The politicians generally have never run a business. They're dumb 408 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 3: as rocks. So they jack up the rates from thirteen 409 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 3: to twenty dollars in West Hollywood. And look at all 410 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 3: the restaurants that close. Look at all the businesses they close, 411 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 3: Look at all the people who lose their jobs, they 412 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 3: get fired. It doesn't work mathematically, you run a business. 413 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 3: The math has to work. It's incredibly stupid, incredibly damaging. 414 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 3: The unions are screwing over their own members royally here 415 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 3: got more coming up. 416 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 417 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 7: six forty. 418 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 3: Coming up after two o'clock, we're going to tell you 419 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 3: about just you think la is nuts, Chicago is even nuttier. 420 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 2: You're not going to believe the stories.

That's why things were actually delineated very well. 509 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 3: Everybody thinks fifty years ago was the cave times for 510 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 3: American society, but that fit men's capabilities really well, and 511 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 3: we sold those men out and set their jobs overseas. 512 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 3: One of the reasons why Trump became so popular is 513 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 3: he was very loud about that, and it became a 514 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 3: different world where people just waste time at their desks, 515 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 3: and that's that's really good work for. 516 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 2: For a lot of women. You guys are good at 517 00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 2: making people fill out forms. 518 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 4: That's all we're good. 519 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 2: That's all we're good. 520 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of jobs that women fill that 521 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 3: are like that. It's bureaucracy jobs. 522 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 4: Okay, but look at the job I have. 523 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 2: Well, you have a professional job, correct, in a real industry. 524 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 4: I mean, some people may disagree, but. 525 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 2: My contention is a lot of these white collar paperwork, 526 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 2: computer terminal, work from home jobs go on zoom meeting jobs. 527 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 2: They're not really jobs. You need a college degree to 528 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 2: get them for some reason. 529 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 5: But it's just but John, so many of those jobs. 530 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 5: Don't you think we're created because of the pandemic? I mean, 531 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 5: who I never even heard of zoom before the pandemic? 532 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 2: Not do neither right, And people really weren't working. 533 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 4: From home before the pandemic. 534 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 2: But now they are and things have been changed forever. 535 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 4: Yes, it's a whole new world because of that pandemic. 536 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 3: It used to be they had nonsense jobs, you know, 537 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 3: at the workplace. Now they took their nonsense job home 538 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 3: and we don't even know what they're doing all day. 539 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 4: Although some people say that they work harder and longer 540 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 4: when they're at home. 541 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 2: That is clearly a lie. I don't think that's possible. 542 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 3: I do not think it's possible to work harder at 543 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 3: home where nobody's watching. Yeah, well, I think that's self evident, 544 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 3: and so when guys don't. I was making jokes about 545 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 3: women working. But I'll tell you, guys are really simple creatures. 546 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 3: They have to have a purpose. They need to have 547 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 3: an order to their day, a predictable order to the day, 548 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 3: and they need a purpose, some kind of work. And 549 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 3: then they need to know that work is supporting something larger, 550 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 3: like a family. And if anything in that chain gets broken, 551 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 3: guys become useless. They start drinking, they do drugs, they 552 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 3: play games, and it's open. 553 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 5: So many people would disagree with you and say that 554 00:32:58,760 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 5: that's old fashioned. 555 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 2: No, it worked. 556 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 3: See when I hear somebody and I don't mean you, 557 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 3: but when somebody says, well, this is the new way, 558 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 3: and I always say, well is it a better way? 559 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 3: People love to embrace new just for the sake of new, 560 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 3: and very often they look they don't consider, well, did 561 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 3: this make life better? I don't think having you know, 562 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 3: a fourteen percent of men of working age drinking, shooting up, 563 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 3: and playing video games. I don't think they made the 564 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 3: world better. Taking away all their manufacturing jobs and sending 565 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 3: them to Vietnam and China didn't make the world better. 566 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: You know what? Do you know? 567 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 6: What do I know? 568 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 3: Nobody consults me on this stuff. You know, I don't 569 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 3: work in human resources. 570 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 6: You do not? 571 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 4: You have a professional job. 572 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? Can you make No? Yeah, that'd be fun. 573 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 4: No, that would be so scary. 574 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 2: I would be writing memos all day. I wonder how 575 00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 2: many write ups you'd give out a day. 576 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 3: Not for the crimes that they give right ups for now, 577 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 3: I'd have a whole new set of crimes. All right, 578 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 3: we come back. We're gonna talk about a place that's 579 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,320 Speaker 3: more nuts than Los Angeles. It's the city of Chicago. 580 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 3: Progressive politicians have ruined a great city, one of my 581 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 3: favorite cities. I lived there for a year once, And 582 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 3: I'll tell you all about the insanity.
