Mayoral Candidates' Word Salad Buffet (09/10)

0:00This is an I Heart podcast guaranteed human. Can't find am 640 you're listening to the John Cobalt podcast on the I Heart radio. Can't find 640 more stimulating talk radio the John Cobalt show Ron every day from three until six and then after six o'clock. It's the John Cobalt show on demand. That's the podcast. And you can hear what you missed last hour. I had Bill Salion talking about cracking a voter fraud case where people down on skid row were button-holing vagrants giving them the names of real people and having the vagrants fraudulently signed initiatives. Voter initiatives might have used your name. They might have got paid for using your name and James O'Keefe the independent journalist. He got video of it and a sale is followed up and he's prosecuted.

1:02And now these people hopefully will go to prison for committing those crimes. But yeah, there's tons of voter fraud. Obviously, a lot of it's centered around skid row. You could hear that interview on the podcast tonight. And we're live on YouTube and live on X. So head there and you can watch this on video. Now, Nifty or ramen. And we got the car in bad stuff too. I mean, I'm just going to enjoy every day here. These are two of the worst candidates I've ever seen run for any any office and the idea that they're the only two left and they're running against each other. And ramen's running because of all the voter fraud in the primary. All the fake votes from those skid row fans that she had probably have those people are dead. And the other half are so strong out. They don't know who they are. But this is what you get when you allow fake votes from half dead, strong out homeless people, you get a Nifty or ramen. And she held a press conference yesterday to talk about major union endorsements.

2:07The unions are the cancer on our society here in Los Angeles. They are because they're the ones that push these idiots like ramen and bass because ramen and bass will give them anything they ask for and then negotiations. It's out. It's out now. Brewery bribery works. And so and I'll say you're dealing with a pool of what government workers. And that is what the bottom 10% of our civilization government. Workers, terms of intelligence and work ethic. I mean, just look around. So of course the unions want candidates like ramen and bass who don't care. They just want to get the money. They want to get the campaign contributions. And the unions pour tons of money into the likes of ramen and bass. And that's how these people survive. In some alternate universe where where government unions don't exist. And they can't give money to political candidates.

3:09I wonder what life is like. Now, so she has this press conference. And you know, the press conference draws mostly sick of fans, progressives in the media who wouldn't dare question a fellow progressive. No matter how absurd they are, which is another reason you get candidates like ramen and bass. But the California post was there. California post has had an incredible effect on the political climate now in California. And they ran through a series of questions with Nithya ramen that she didn't want to answer. So instead she served up a word salad. We'll give you an example here. This clip is based on a question from the post. If asking if she supports the far left ideology of the democratic socialists of America. Councilwoman, you held press conferences when you were endorsed by the unions, but not the DSA.

4:10Are you worried about being linked to the DSA? And do you really believe their extreme left wing ideology will help the city? You know, I am running for mayor and I've made my positions very clear. And at points, I have broken with any organization that has supported me in the past when I have felt that policies need to be reconsidered or considered differently in order to deliver results for Angelina's. My focus has always been what are the best results for Angelina's. My question is, do you believe their extreme left wing ideology will help the city? Well, I'm running for mayor. So I believe my policies and my agenda will help the city. Thank you. Took two shots at that one. She whiffed on both and does that sound like a scripted consultant or perhaps lawyer written answer? Oh, California Post is here. They're going to ask about the DSA. The DSA has endorsed Nithya Rahman.

5:12It's an out and out communist organization. And when you get their endorsement, you have to pledge that they will co-govern with you. Co-govern. So I assume that means Rahman is an equal partner with the DSA in running Los Angeles. Should she win? And yes, it is extreme left wing ideology. And so she just keeps repeating this oatmeal of, well, I'm running for mayor. My positions are clear. And just look at my position. Her positions are far left wing positions, such as no encampments get removed from the streets, not even if they're in front of your kids school. Imagine what kind of a twisted sickle whack job you have to be to not just allow or enable, but insist that the encampments take root in front of your kids school.

6:17You know, the ones with the drug addicts and the mental patients and the child molesters. You know how many convicted child molesters are in those tents? How many of them came out of jail, out of prison and went right to the tent and are shooting up now. And they're on Megan's list, Megan's law list. So you can ask that question 20 times. In fact, according to the story, ramen repeatedly sidestep questions about whether DSA's ideology would help LA. And then this is the killer question. She's got all these reform ideas. Well, why didn't they already happen when she was the chair of the city council homeless committee? Well, she didn't answer that. She just pointed to her record in her council district. Her record stinks. Look at her votes. Look at who she directed money to.

7:18Look how she worked with bass to send money to all kinds of criminals for the last four years. And when she's finally confronted, she's a robot. And then blame's bass. Bass in term blames her. And we wouldn't have this choice if Ryan hadn't benefited from all the fake voting from the homeless unskilled row that benefited her. Gee, I wonder who financed all that getting getting those homeless people registered to vote and getting them to fill out their balance. Why do finance that? Debra Mark lot. Well, Debra Mark didn't do that. I did not. You're listening to John Cobalt on demand from KFI AM640. KFI AM640 more stimulating talk radio. John Cobalt show we're on from three till six.

8:23And let's see a moist line tomorrow is the moist line day. We have Rome 877 moist 86 877 moist 86 are usually talk back feature on the I heart radio app or live on YouTube or live on X. And we had to have another Karen Bass moment here. Karen Bass, another one who speaks in gibberish and riddles and nonsense. And she's got a new pattern that we're picking up. She takes no responsibility for anything. Everything is years in the making decades in the making goes back to the last mayor is the county's fault is the states fault is Trump's fault. Absolutely no responsibility as the city literally physically crumbles into little pieces. She went on the cruise show on real 92.3 here in this building and bass was asked about something simple. Potholes listen to this. There's also so many things that are happening in our community as well in districts obviously

9:27that need desperate attention right. Pot holes to start. That's right. And by the way we have a crumbling infrastructure in the city that has been crumbling for about three decades. And so believe it or not those pot holes did not come and those sidewalks did not break because I'm mayor. You mean it's not your fault? No I didn't break I promise. I didn't break the sidewalk. Some probably I mean somewhere are they're not all equal right. I mean some of them are the size of like four doors of dance exactly but I'm going to tell you the pot holes are my responsibility to fill them up. And we have been filling up. I don't know I mean the last time it rained I think we filled over 20,000 pot holes but when you fundamentally have a structure infrastructure that is crumbling so give you believe this. This city didn't even have a plan to repair its infrastructure. The only major city in the country that didn't have a plan. How so?

10:28Because I don't know I mean we just never did. So about two and a half years ago I had my staff prepare a plan to deal with the city's infrastructure but this city is so complicated voters are going to have to approve part of my plan in order for us to even start repairing. She cut the budget for city services. She cut the budget. What's she talking about? Do you know since last June? No, since June a year ago. Do you know there's only paved nine miles roads in the city of Los Angeles. Road paving has ground down to zero. Pot hole filling. That always allows for the biggest whoppers to be told. I'd mentioned this before because this was another one of those moments that opened my eyes about just how bad these politicians are and they're lying weasel staff members.

11:29We had a guy come in here from Vierregosa staff years ago. His Vierregosa was claiming he promised vowed to fill a million pot holes. And finally one of his lackeys showed up and had a big thick pile, big pile of printouts. Like like look like five reams of paper stacked up on each other. Droped it on the counter here and said, well, this is the million pot holes. And I said, really? And I walked over from my side of the desk here to the other side where he was sitting. I go, let me see show me the pot hole. I must see a million pot holes filled. And turned out they had 58,000 pot holes filled, which was 942,000 short of what Vierregosa claimed and what this lying lackey weasel was claiming. And this is what they do.

12:30They are used to all the news reporters like from the alley times from the TV stations not following up. They just go and do the report saying, well, Vierregosa said he's filled a million pot holes or he's going to fill a million pot holes. And then after a few years, I was like, what about those million pot holes? Oh, yeah, yeah, we filled the million pot holes. Oh, really? Why don't you come in and show us? I come in with the big thick pile of papers. I'm supposed to be intimidated. So, all right, well, show me. Let's, I was willing to count a million line items with the addresses, the locations, all million pot holes. Didn't expect that. He didn't expect that. Look at it. Never forget this. 58,000. And when I said, well, where's the other 942,000? Yeah, okay. Notice what she does in that interview. She's asked about the pot holes and she goes, well, they're not my responsibility. I can assure you I didn't create the pot holes. I didn't break the sidewalks. The sidewalk repair is backed up for years and years.

13:32It's not only way underfunded, but she cut the funding. She cut the funding for all these departments. You know what she increased funding for? Union salaries. Union's got raises. Homeless, almost got raises, almost not profits. So she steals money from pot hole repair, sidewalk repair. She cuts the funding and then says, well, I didn't break the sidewalks. In time, like her friend who ran loss of Alicia Adams, Kellum, somehow she got millions of dollars, funneled it to her husband's nonprofit. You see how the game works? And then you laugh and you come up with a, what you think is a clever line. I didn't break the sidewalks. No, your job is to fix them and you don't. You cut the funding. So like she cut the fire department funding. Like she cut the police department funding. She cut the funding for all of this.

14:33The increases went to the criminals who run the homeless nonprofits and they went to the unions. That's truth. You can go look that up. You're listening to John Cobalt on demand from KFI AM640. More stimulating talk radio, John Cobalt show. And we're on three to six after six John Cobalt show on demand the podcast live stream. We're on X run YouTube. So you can watch me in my padded room here yelling into the wind. Uh, eventually I want to get a camera Deborah and her padded room. She says she has her strengths on. I don't want to be on camera and then attended comes in and gives her medication every 20 minutes. All right. I want to play this clip again because I found exactly to the dollar what I was telling you about.

15:33This is Karen Bass on 92, three FM. The cruise show about pod holes. Listen to her explaining. Well, she's not to blame for the pod holes, but listen to her talk about how she fills them. And filling up, I don't know. I mean, the last time it rained, I think we filled over 20,000 pod holes. But when you fundamentally have a structure, infrastructure that is crumbling. So you believe this. This city didn't even have a plan to repair its infrastructure. The only major city in the country that didn't have a plan. Also, because I don't know. I mean, we just never did. So about two and a half years ago, I had my staff prepare a plan to deal with the city's infrastructure. But this city is so complicated. Voters are going to have to approve part of my plan in order for us to even start repairing. All right. So it's our fault, right? That was so much gibberish. Like the more I thought about, I realized, oh my God, that is just pure, calmer, than

16:37she was shoveling. She has a street services department. She has a department that fixes sidewalks and fills pod holes. She has a department that lays down asphalt. What is this plan she's talking about? You don't need a plan when the road is filled with pod holes or it's all cracked and falling apart. You put a new layer of asphalt down. You fill the pod hole. When the sidewalks are busted up, you pour new cement and create a new sidewalk. What is this plan thing? Well, you know, we need a plan. The city is so complicated. They constantly say this. Oh, homelessness is complicated. Yeah, broken sidewalks are complicated. And nobody ever had a plan. So years went by, decades went by. Oh, yeah, I put together a plan. Well, where is it? Oh, it's complicated. The voters have to approve a proof of what? We don't have to approve to fill pod holes. We don't have to approve to lay down new cement for sidewalks. We don't have to approve to fix street lights.

17:39Because you don't put criminals away and they keep stealing the street light copper. I was driving home late last night. I did CNN last night. Alex Michaelson. I don't know why I said I had driving home at 10.30 at night. A 405 is completely dark. I'm going over some pole that I passed. Completely dark. Like we're driving through Montana or something. Through some rural area, 50 miles from the nearest town. There's no lights. A plan. See, that's where they just shovel BS. Well, here's the statistics. We have a plan. We have departments. We have employees. You know what she did? She cut $61 million between 2024 and 2026. I have a graph here put out by someone on the internet. Film the police LA.

18:40Street services was cut 26% 61 million dollars. There's your plan. She cut a quarter of the street services budget. General services was cut 20%. Street lighting was cut 7.5 million dollars. That's 13%. The public works board was cut 8 million dollars. That's 23%. Sanitation was cut $11 million. That's 3%. General services cut 54 million dollars. That's 20%. Let's add this up. Street services, she cut over a two year period, 26%. General services, 20%. Info technology agency. Down 16%. Sanitation down 3%. Public works board minus 23%.

19:41Street lighting minus 13%. Her department of aging down 35%. I don't know if that's needed. Transportation department was 1%. Engineering down 2%. I'm going through this here. It's most old. Her mayor's office was cut was increased by 4%. Maybe she hired somebody to answer the phone when the fire chief is calling. More departments were cut than got increases. Oh, more money for cannabis regulation. Yeah, that's important, right? Why fill potholes? Put out more. What is cannabis regulation? Said more inspectors over to get bribed from cannabis shop operators.

20:46This is garbage. The ethics commission is up 29%. What kind of racket is the ethics commission? I ever saw this chart before. What a joke. What a complete absolute joke. OK, so the correct answer when she's asked about potholes. Well, actually, the correct question should be, why did you cut street services 26%? Why did you cut sanitation by 11 million dollars? Why did you cut street lighting by 7 and a half million? Why did you cut public works by 23%? Why did you cut general services by 20% 54 million? Those are the questions. I think I'm going to have to do everything by myself. I have to do everything by myself. I have to do everything by myself. Let's do this story. This is gross. This is disgusting. UCLA School of Law.

21:48They're holding an event. Boy, can't, can't you do anything and do it right and do it straight? The event is called 25 years after 9 11. Reimagining freedom, justice and security. When you see the word reimagining, that's that's woke talk. That's woke code for something gross, disgusting and destructive. This is how they're celebrating the anniversary of the 9 11 attacks. Do I have to tell you that it killed 3,000 people? I heard today that a third of the people in this country, we're not alive or have no memory of 9 11. So yeah, those planes that flew into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the other flight that crashed in Pennsylvania as 3,000 people. So UCLA School of Law, what a bunch of vegetables. They're going to have a conversation. It's going to be led by speakers, including Melanie T. Parto.

22:54You know what she did? She was the defense attorney for the architect of the 9 11 attack. Colleague, Shake, Mohammed. She was the defense attorney. Yes, I'd love to hear from her. Tell me, tell me how your client didn't really kill thousands of people. Why is she still in the country? And then this Yale professor? Oz Lee, who, Bali? I looked her up. It's supposed to be a woman. She wants described counterterrorism. You know how the US fights the terrorists so they don't kill us. She referred to counterterrorism as a racist gravy train. Another featured speaker. That's UCLA Law School. They don't have any survivors of the attack speaking.

23:59Melanie Parto is a civil rights and international human rights litigator. That sounds like a headache. She's at UC Irvine School of Law. Good. Love to have her class. Oh, she issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. So she's one of the Jew haters. He has, she has represented Mohammed since 2020. Colleague, Shake, Mohammed. He designed the architect. He designed the 9 11 attacks. Cool. That's a guy. I want to defend. Um. Another speaker is the University of Minnesota Law School Professor Amna Akbar. Is that Allah, who's a brother? Amna Akbar once called the murder of the United Health Care CEO Brian Thompson.

25:00A spectacular act of protest. Wow, this is an all-star gathering at UCLA. It's, it's so disgusting. It just makes you want to vomit. People at UCLA are just. They're evil. That's just pure evil. You're listening to John Cobalt on demand from KFI AM640. KFI AM640 more stimulating talk radio. John Cobalt show and we are on every day from three until six. Moistline 877, Moist 86, 877, Moist 86. Last call. You better. You better call this number and leave all your anger and vitriol using the talkback feature on the iHeart radio app. Um. You know, I don't know. Well, you don't, you don't smoke pot.

26:03No, I do not. And I don't take gummies anymore. You don't take gummies anymore. I said, I was going to ask you about this. You know, they have really juiced up marijuana. It's much more toxic now. That's what it is. Oh, it is. Yeah, it's. Have you tried? No, no, actually what I'm reading scares me. Oh. People who are regular marijuana users, there's an increasing percentage of people who have like, uh, pots psychosis, I think they're calling it. Eric, is that true? I've never heard of this. Oh, well, outside coasters. Yeah, so yeah, the following that because of the extreme toxicity to marijuana in terms of how much THC God does what else is put into it. Yeah. So you haven't any psychotic episodes? No. Very sad. Uh, so people who use marijuana chronically are suffering from uncontrollable scream vomiting. It's called scromiting.

27:04Can't have been a aid hypermessis syndrome. This was in the journal of American medicine. And the only cure is sustained abs abstinence. Wait, what? What, how does that? I don't understand the, well, the correlation. It's this THC. It's a psychoactive drug. Yeah. And like I said, it's, it's a really high percentage now. Much, much higher than it was decades ago. And when you were smoking it in college, and well, I guess you were probably. No, I didn't. Sorry. I shouldn't. I don't know why I do that. You know why? Because you're so squeaky clean. It kind of bothers me. And I keep thinking there's got to be something. There's stuff. They're, oh, yeah. Like what? No, I'm not going to air my dirty laundry. I'm not perfect. Oh, one, one dirty. I mean, nothing, no, I really nothing. I'm just saying I'm not, I'm not perfect. I just, I don't smoke. I don't take drugs. I don't even drink. Well, what else is there?

28:06There's other things. And then I'm off a sugar too. So life is a little more. What's left on the list? My, my keen. Keywise, not a vice. Unless you're smoking it. I don't have any vices. You have no vices. No, you don't have any urges. Shopping is 100% of vice. I'm not a shopaholic either. I don't go shopping that often. I don't know. I'll find something. I know there's something in there. No, but you know, but he's this much of a girl scout. I didn't say it was a girl scout. Okay, then what is it that violates the girl scout code? I swear. After all this time, you could use curse words a lot. Oh, wow. I have to use all my self in my song. I'm watering. Oh, no, say it isn't so. It's so. Yeah, you know, if you are addicted, you can't get addicted to marijuana now. They used to not think so. He ended up with withdrawal symptoms, anxiety, insomnia, nausea, abdominal pain, sweating.

29:07And they're getting emergency visits now. It's jumped from four per 100,000 patients to 22 in 100,000 patients. And they it's scrummeting. I guess you end up screaming while you vomit. Oh, I don't know how you scream while you vomit. I guess if the vomiting is particularly violent, I feel like I'm going to barf right now. I was just thinking about it. Uncontrollable scream vomiting. When you said abstinence for some reason, my brain went to sex. That's why I didn't understand the quote. Oh, is that your vice? No, it's not. Actually, I know. No, I'm just saying. I thought when you get admit to a little variance, nothing. I'm a normal person. I just don't. Normal people don't have anything. I said I curse. But there's no sex. There's no. I didn't say there's no. I know I did not say no sex.

30:09I didn't say I was a sexo-holic. Okay. If you don't want to quantify that any further. There's nothing to quantify. Oh, so there's nothing. No, you know what? Look what time it is. We got to do the news. That's true. We do got to do the news. Debra Mark is live in the KFI 24 hour newsroom. You've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast.
