Good to be with you on a Friday. Nobody wants to be governor. There's no real candidate in the race and no movement on the horizon. This is fascinating. You have really for politics, for a Democrat politician, the best place to be if you want to be in national politics, and that is governor of the largest state and a blue state. Like governor of Massachusetts, pretty good. Governor of Illinois, kind of a problem because Chicago's a mess. California, well, when it comes to national politics, most people. think about California in a way that they see it on TV. Like most Americans will never visit California. And the few Americans that do go to events. They're here for a reason. So they go directly to the airport, take a ride to the hotel for the conference or go to the convention center, or they're here for a ball game, football game, baseball game, right? I mean, think about it.
For most Americans, the California, the Los Angeles they see is the overhead view of Dodger Stadium during the World Series. And it looks fantastic. Dodger Stadium looks spectacular on TV. Where I live, Petco Park looks spectacular on TV. Levi Stadium in San Francisco looks amazing on TV. So for most Americans, they don't think of California as having the kinds of problems that you and I who live here, no. So California is a great place to springboard to national politics, which is why Gavin Newsom is so eager to do it. So why wouldn't anybody else want that diving board, which is the governor? And why did Democrats so poorly plan? to have the obvious next Democrat up-and-coming person be the candidate for governor. They did it with Gavin. I mean, Gavin Newsom was Lieutenant Governor. He and Jerry Brown didn't like each other. And Lieutenant Governor doesn't do anything, especially when you have such a high-profile governor as Jerry Brown. So, but, you know, he toiled in the lieutenant governor's office for eight years and did party building and team building and built his own little kitchen cabinet and his own network of fundraising. And when it was his time, there was no question that Gavin Newsom was going to be governor. And he is. And no one else is doing that and there's nothing else like that. The first person to open up an account, a campaign account. for governor was the lieutenant governor. And I understand she was very good friends, like personal friends, with vice president, Kamala Harris. The two of them hung out together all the time. And so I even think there was some chatter that should Kamala Harris decide to run for governor that... Eleni Cougaroculus or whatever her name is. She has an unpronounceable name. That's part of the political problem she has. That and she's had a strikingly unremarkable run as Lieutenant Governor. But nevertheless, she opened the campaign account and then just dropped out. Like nothing happened. Same thing with Tony Atkins. Tony Atkins had all the box checked. She was a woman. She was, well, she is a woman. She is a lesbian. She was the first lesbian woman Speaker of the State Assembly. Democrats love that stuff. They love being the first this, the first that. Then she went on to become a state senator. I don't know if she was the first gay state senator. No, she certainly wouldn't be. But she was the first Senate leader. She was a speaker. She was this pro tem leader of the Senate. So she was the head of the Senate. And she was still gay and still a woman. So she had that lane. Because to Democrats, like being a woman in and of itself is an accomplishment. Being gay in and of itself is an accomplishment.
So she had it all going on. She just collapsed. She opened up an account. She was Tony for governor, and it went nowhere. And it just fell apart. Then Kamala Harris was going to make a decision. And she made a decision, and she decided that she didn't want to be the governor. And then I predicted it. I was wrong. My prediction was wrong. I was sure that the absolute open field. meant that Senator Alex Padilla would make the decision to vacate his, well, not vacate the Senate seat, run as a senator because it really is beat being in the minority in the Senate. And. California Democrats are not used to being in the minority. I don't think Alex Medea ever was in the minority in his life, in any political capacity. So they absolutely have no understanding about what it's like being in the minority and how to be an effective member of the minority party. Because you don't get to do anything. You have to fundraise and strategize and come up with alternative better policies. And Democrats are good at fundraising, but terrible at policy. It's beat being back there in the Senate. And he is, frankly, an unremarkable senator from California. He's got no rasmataz, no flash, no nothing. He's always crying about something. So I thought, that's what's going to happen. I see this now. He is going to run for governor. And then when he becomes governor, he will then relinquish his Senate seat. And the remaining term of the Senate seat... The governor has two choices in California. He can hold a special election in 45 days or a point, and he will appoint Gavin Newsom. And Gavin Newsom will take that appointment and pledge to only be there for the remainder of Alex Padilla's seat, and that will give him two years away from California on a national stage, arms length, plausible deniability of any bad things that happened in California. And that was a perfect plan. But I was wrong. Alex Padilla announced Tuesday that he doesn't want to be governor either. So now nobody is the frontrunner to be governor of California. Isn't that amazing? So here's the latest poll. Leading the pack, and when I say leading, 13% Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco. He's in first place. Katie Porter at 11, that ship has sailed. At 8% Xavier Becerra, he's tied with Steve Hilton. Then you have former mayor Antonio Villarigosa. I think that ship has sailed. People don't like retreads in politics, and Villarigosa at this point would be a political retread. And then you get to Nowhere's Land, Betty E and Rick Caruso and Tony Thurman and Stephen Klubeck. Forget it. That's not happening. But 45% of those polled had no choice. 45%. So the race is wide open. And there's only 359 days until the election, which is a short amount of time to raise the kind of money you need to compete in California unless you come in with a high profile name.
which means somebody from the world of celebrity, whether it's business or pop culture, sports, I don't know. But it is absolutely wide open. Lou Penrose for John Cobalt on the John Cobalt show on KFI AM 640 Live Everywhere on the IHeart Radio app. You're listening to John Cobalt on Demand from KFI AM 640. Lou Penrose, Inva John Cobelt on the John Cobalt show, and you've been hearing about it all day. Flight delays and very, very hassled flyers, 40 major airports, 4% of all flights. That is starting today at 4% on its way up to 10% by next weekend. American Airlines is reporting 220 flights canceled. Delta Airlines, 170. United Airlines, 200 flights. Oh. My goodness. All right, News Nation's national correspondent, Jessica. Jessica, Condavia, is with us. Hey, Jessica, thanks for spending time with us. I hope you're not on a plane or on your way to an airport. No, thank you. I'm not, fortunately. We're at Newark Airport, where, you know, we just heard from the Associated Press that the total number of flights canceled today has topped 1,000. And again, as you said, this is just 4%. Then we're going to 10%. And today, Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy said... If this shutdown continues, we can see this go all the way up to 20% of flight being canceled. And it's not just the larger airports that are affected like LAX or here in New York at Newark or JFK. It's small airports, even Teeterboro, which is just outside of Manhattan, where we see a lot of private flights. They're affected as well. Sean Duffy is saying that, you know, they have to assess what controllers are coming in and what it's going to take, you know, for the airlines to bring these flights back. considering that the shutdown is continuing. 40 airports affected. They are starting with that 4% cut, as I said, but we're talking about 1,800 flights that will be impacted a day when this goes up to, you know, 10%. So is it, yeah, what a headache. Is it just air traffic controllers or are TSA agents also calling in? Are. Are others, I mean, are we seeing sympathy strikes, or is this just the air traffic controllers? No, so we're seeing both, but it's really the air traffic controllers that is the issue here. Because what's happening is we've heard Secretary Duffy saying that, you know, so many of them had to go get the second job, like driving Uber or Lyft, for example. And then, you know, they can't come to a job where they're not getting paid. So we've heard of... the stories of air traffic controllers would say, look, I can't pay for child care, then skip a Lyft or an Uber job where I'm still getting a paycheck to come to my job where I'm not getting paid at all. And that's the challenge. You know, we have seen TSA calling out, but that doesn't seem to be issue, especially not here in New York. That's not what we're seeing in some of the bigger airports. The nice thing where the silver lining to all of this is that people are...
getting the message. They're not coming to the airport. You know, we're not seeing people sitting on the floor of the airport because our flight was canceled or delayed. They're listening to the reports. They are downloading the airlines app. They are getting real-time information and not coming to the airport if their flight was canceled. Also, fortunately, we are not seeing a huge holiday rush just yet. If this government shutdown continues, though, that's going to be a major hassle. And could, you really erode consumer confidence in these airlines? So when these kinds of things happen for specific airlines, I remember, I don't even remember which airline it was, but it had software issue and it messed things up for a couple of days. It took a couple of days after that for the airline to get. back in order, right, to get their schedules back, to get all the planes where they're supposed to be. That was one airline. So now you're talking about the entire airline industry, they're all going to be behind. Even if I see the Senate is still in session, there's talk of perhaps some kind of compromise. Even if this is resolved by this weekend, you're still saying that it's going to be many days thereafter until all the planes are where they're supposed to be and all the people are where they're supposed to be. Yeah, absolutely. We're going to see the residual effects of this for quite some time. So every day, you know, when we don't see flights going and it impacts, you know, even a percentage, we're talking about millions of dollars in the economy that, you know, that's being impacted. And then you have to think, too, if people start canceling their plans, that's hotels. Those are taxis, ubers. It's, you know, people spending money in the community. You know, the trickle-down effect is just... The range of this is so wide. You know, even today, which is unprecedented, Frontier Airlines as CEO posts on social media that, you know, might be a good idea to buy a plane ticket with another carrier just in case that your flight is. Wow. Okay, this is a CEO of a major airline encouraging someone to buy a backup plate on another carrier. So, you know, at this point, it is. Desperate Times call for desperate measures, right? We spoke with a girl here who was trying to get up to Boston from New York for the weekend. You can hear all the noise behind me here at the airport. And she was saying, look, her flight was canceled last night. She got to the airport today. It was delayed, delayed, delayed. She looked into getting a train ticket on Amtrak up to Boston, but that was more expensive than her flight. So she was just going to try to wait it out and hopefully get there. You know, a lot of people have plans. If you have a wedding you have to get to or some reason that you need to travel and you can't wait it out, unfortunately, that's what you get to do.
And then when you, as you said, I mean, the other industries and hotels that are impacted, think about all the cars that are not being returned, the rent of cars that are not being returned because people have to be at their destination for an extra day. So now you are able to get to your city, but there are no cars because they're all still out. I mean, this is really, it impacts people's just quality of life, right? I mean, this is just making a miserable experience. And I think for many, many travelers. the idea that this is the result of the shutdown this might be what it takes to get senators in dc to say all right we got to get out of this somehow Yeah, it's interesting that you bring that up because they're saying, you know, it's when the lawmakers are not going to be able to get their flights home on the weekends from D.C. that, okay, maybe they'll be, you know, that's the incentive that they'll need to really get this going. But, you know, today when Duffy said, okay, well, it's obviously not having that much of an impact. We may have to see this up to 20%. You know, is that a direct result of, you know, what we're seeing here in Newark that people are getting the warning and they're just slowing down the traffic. You know, or are we going to have to kind of ramp this up and put a little more pressure on? So it's interesting. I spoke with a girlfriend. I'm originally from San Diego who said she's stuck in Puerto Rico trying to get back to San Diego. And you're like, well, you know, it could be worse. You're stuck in Puerto Rico. But, you know, she said, yeah, I have, you know, someone watching my children and I have work and I have this. So there's such an impact. And like you said, just the ripple effect is very concerning. Jessica, thanks so much. Be well there in Newark. We'll check in with you again. Oh, my goodness. I can't imagine what it's like at these airports right now. And imagine just sitting at the airport bar watching the news and seeing that there's just yet another impasse vote in the United States Senate.

You know, my favorite part of the morning is that first cup of coffee? A small, quiet ritual that sets the rhythm for my day. That's why I appreciate DeLongi.

Just a damn fine cup of coffee in your own kitchen. Right now, you can save 10% off your purchase at DeLongi.com with code Kyle at checkout. After all, if it's not Italian, is it even espresso? You're listening to John Cobalt on demand from KFI AM 640. Lou Penrose, in for John Cobalt on the John Cobalt show, just getting word in a thousand, 1,000 flights have been canceled since this morning, since this went into effect. 40 major airports affected. 4% of all flights. And that's the beginning part. According to the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, we started 4% limitation of flights, and that impacts other flights. But then it moves up on Tuesday, another 2%. And then on Thursday, another 2%. And then by Saturday of next week, it will be 10% of all flights. And now the number 20 is being dangled out there. So that is a deal. And I'm sure that people at every one of these major airports, including LAX, but it's not just LAX, Ontario, San Diego, my goodness. I'm looking at some video here of the terminals, and yeah, they're packed. Nobody's moving.
People that are finding out that their flights have been canceled are staying home, but some people are finding out their connections are not now on time. The four-hour wait thing sounds reasonable. It isn't. I mean, certainly it is reasonable because you can usually get to whatever city you're connecting to. But it's a hassle, man. Four hours is a long time at the airport. And I know at the Delta terminal. wine is now $18 a poor. Now, it's nine ounce glasses, but that's still, I mean, that's a, you could spend a fortune waiting four hours in the airport with nothing to do. And if you don't have your own phone charger, some kind of power bank, you're in trouble because there's, they'll kill you over that charging station. There's only so many things you could do at the airport. So this is going to be, um, This is going to be an interesting weekend to see how this factors out politically. What I don't get about this air traffic controller issue is why don't these airports, which are run by the cities... And these airlines put together a fund where they lend money to these air traffic controllers so that they can continue to come into work. Because honestly, if they don't come into work, then no airlines make any money and no airports make any money. So it seems pretty obvious that they should be helping out with this. Yeah, that sounds reasonable, but it really isn't. Like, what's happening is not reasonable. I mean, you could say that about anything. Why it doesn't... the interested parties of any industry set aside funds for a 38-day government shutdown? I mean, this is a long period of time. Again, I... want to win this battle politically, but a government shutdown is a stunt at the end of the day. And I'm not a big fan of political stunts. We don't have to have to have stunts. If your ideas are better and you've won the argument, you don't have to have a political stunt. Republicans always wind up caving in the end. So that's really where the pressure comes to not cave and hold your ground for once to actually win one. But Democrats had a really good night on Tuesday, and they are now emboldened to fight back. But 38 days is a goodly amount of time. Like the point has been made. So there has to be a way out of this. And I think this extension of the Obama error. ACA subsidies is probably the right way out because even though I did not support the Affordable Care Act I didn't support Obamacare he was the president it was passed it was made into law people signed up for it I am amazed that people thought it was ever going to work
But they did. They were hoping that their health insurance concerns and their health care concerns and their affordability concerns were solved by Obamacare. That was the promise to the Americans that bought into it. And it was working with government subsidies that were... you know, projected out over 10 years. That was the only way that Obamacare could work is if the government, you and me, if the taxpayers subsidized the person that was on Obamacare, the person that had the policy. And it was even extended. It didn't pencil out even in the term that it was originally designed. So under the Biden administration, it was extended by President Biden. And now here we are, December 31st, and there isn't enough money to make this dream come true for you to pay a premium that you can afford and still get all the health care you want. So the problem was never solved without government subsidizing it. So there's still a problem, right? We still have people that can afford private market insurance. There are still government regulations that make private insurance just too expensive, and it's a non-competitive industry. There's like a lot going on there that still needs to be worked out. There is a post-Oabomacare job, and that is still making health care costs and health insurance affordable to Americans. So given that... The people that are on Obamacare that are watching their potential premiums double on December 31st, it isn't really fair to them. They didn't do anything wrong. They did everything right. Democrats are using that as leverage, which isn't right. They should just open up the government and start debating the issue in the United States Senate. So President Trump is right about that. But now you have air traffic controllers calling in sick because they're stressed out, and people are stuck having to pay $18 for white wine at LAX. So the only way out is to compromise on specifically on the ACA deal, on those subsidies. I don't think giving a year is that much money. and reopen the government, and let's get back to work. It's the only way forward. And I think President Trump knows that, and I think that's why he signaled today that he's willing to talk with the Democrats on it. And I notice that the Senate is working on a Friday, which is unusual. So this thing could end rather quickly, or... It could get a whole lot worse, at least at the airports. We will wait and see. Lou Penrose, Inva John Cobalt on the John Cobalt show on KFI AM 640 live everywhere on the IHeart Radio app. You're listening to John Cobalt on demand from KFI AM 640.
Lou Penrose, in for John Cobalt on the John Cobalt show. John out, and I hope he caught his flight. Now a thousand flights have been canceled just today. Flights at 40 major airports across the country, including New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago are being cut by 4% with more on the way by next weekend to ease pressure on unpaid air traffic controllers. That's a lot. That's a lot of flight. No matter what happens, this is going to be a couple of days of... It's more than inconvenience because as the caller said earlier, if you have to get home because you have children, like you can't. What if the babysitter can't watch the kids on Monday? And I mean, this is really a big deal for a lot of people when you consider the amount of flights that have been cut and the ripple effect that has. The only way we're going to prevent government shutdowns is to make sure that nobody in the House or Senate receives a paycheck during one. A lot of members of the House are not taking their paycheck. That has been tried. It doesn't work as well as you think. There are some pretty wealthy members of Congress, and then they would be able to decide what the solution is. So, look, the only way out of this is to have five Democrats vote to open the government or for Republicans to agree with all 47. Democrats. So that's it. I mean, one side has to blink. And we'll see who's going to blink first. Hey, before we go, Tom Brady's dog is in the news. Tom Brady's adorable pup, Junie, is a social media star. But if she looks familiar, it's definitely not a coincidence. The dog is actually a clone of Brady's previous Pipple Mix Lua, who died in 2023. So they cloned the dog. They're able to do this now. They're able to take a cell from the dog and grow it into a new dog. I was watching this, and the scientist was explaining that it's basically in vitro fertilization. It's not a whole lot different than what happens. But instead of bringing the two parts together from the mother and the father, you take an already... It's not really a fertilized egg. You just take the dog is already there. The DNA of the dog has already been established. Everything. Everything about every dog is in every cell of every dog. The hair color, the eye color, the attitude, the height and weight, everything about the dog is in every single cell of the dog. So you just take one of those cells and turn it into...
the other dog, but it's a new dog. The NFL legend revealing his new dog's background this week, writing, in a few short months, Colossil gave my family a second chance with a clone of our beloved dog. And people are talking about this, and I don't understand what the problem is. Is that a bad thing? Why is that bad? If you really liked your dog and you really liked... the fit of that breed or that mix in your family and the size was right and the dog was right then you can try your best to go find another pet from that breed i mean if you can find the exact you know family that would be good but if you could you have to either go and find the exact you know type of dog or you can just clone the dog i'm not sure why that's so upsetting to people it does sound kind of you know, science fictiony, but it isn't. It's done. They figured it out. And guess what? Tom Brady owns the company. Brady, an investor in the biotech company, colossal biosciences. The company CEO compares the process of cloning to IVF without sperm. Yeah, so it's kind of like IVF, but it's done. He has the dog. He's not the only one. Paris Hilton has one of those dogs too. And I don't think it's a terrible idea. Now, think about it. Even though it will be the same dog, it'll be a different snapshot in the time of the owners of that dog. So the dog's behavior should be somewhat different. Like if you had a dog 10 years ago and now the... DNA clone of that dog appeared in your life. You're 10 years older. You have a different life. Maybe you are in a different house. Maybe your kids are older. Maybe you have more free time with the dog. Maybe you have less free time, right? So a dog is also a reflection of its environment. So the nude clone dog won't be and behave exactly the same as the old clone dog or the old original dog. but it will be close. And in many respects, I think that's kind of cool. I'm not as afraid of the whole clone thing as many are. I hear the slippery slope all the time. Lou, this is a slippery slope, though. Why is it a slippery slope? I've never understood the slippery slope argument. I don't subscribe to the slippery slope argument. The slippery slope suggests that it's slippery, and you're going to slip and fall. Like there's nothing slippery here. You're in complete control. We can and have cloned a dog for people that want to go that route. That doesn't mean that automatically we're going to start cloning humans. Right? We can govern ourselves. We can stop ourselves. We can say, okay, we want to do this for pets. I really want the dog that I had. So rather than try and fall in love with a whole other creature, I'm going to clone the dog. But, you know, we don't do that for humans. You can make those distinctions. It's absolutely doable. So I'm not all that worried about the slippery slope. I wonder if they will do it for other animals, though. I can imagine the horse racing industry would be interested in this. I'm sure that cats will do it. Tom Brady is the only one. I know that Paris Hilton has a clone dog.
