Guaranteed Human. KFI AM 640. You're listening to the John Cobalt podcast on the I-Hart Radio app. John Cobalt show, we are on every day from one until 4 o'clock. And then after 4 o'clock, John Cobalt show on Demand on the I-Hart app. That's the podcast, same same as the radio show and that's where you listen

0:21.5

to what you missed i don't want to waste any time going through all the spectacular stuff today

0:26.6

that we have on uh this is like christmas morning but we have to first get to some breaking news

0:34.5

that is occurring now in washington dc we're going to going to talk to the Washington correspondent at News Nation, Joe Khalil,
