1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on every day

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: from one until four o'clock and after four o'clock, you

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: know the Drill, John Cobel's show on demand, the podcast

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: on the iHeart app, And I definitely would if you

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: missed a part of the show. You got to listen

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: today to everything. I mean you can on the podcast.

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: You can blow through it and what about an hour

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: and a half, right because we get out all the

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: the news and the traffic and some of the commercials.

11
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: So definitely keep track of what's going on. Because we

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: have Gavin Newsom's chief of staff getting federally indicted twenty

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: three counts against her. That's a whole sordid story. We

14
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: had a Senate hearing in the Pacific Palisades at the

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: American Legion where two Republican Senators Rick Scott and Ron

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: Johnson came and started hearing testimony from people in the

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: Palisades over what they went through, the complete abandonment by

18
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: the city, county, and state government for these poor people.

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: We'll have more on that as well, and we've got

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: the Justice Department suing Gavin Newsom and the Secretary of

21
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: State Shirley Weber over Proposition fifty, saying this is racial jerrymandering,

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: it violates the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment,

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: and they're going to court to get this proposition thrown out.

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: Let's go to Bill as Sale. He is the US

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: attorney for the Central District of California. Bill, how are

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: you good, John?

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: How are you?

28
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm all right? Explain what racial gerrymandering is to people.

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: Explain the violation that is being charged here, and explain

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: the equal protection clause.

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: Sure, well, let's start with the basics here. Under the Constitution,

32
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: it is illegal, unlawful for the government to make decisions

33
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: based on race. We call that racist or racism, and

34
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: that is what we're alleging California did when it designed

35
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: drew the Prop fifty maps from the legislature drew that

36
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: and let's be honest, the legislature didn't really draw it.

37
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: This guy, Paul Mitchell, drew it, who was hired by

38
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: the Democrat Party, and the legislature basically adopted his maps.

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: The problem is for these for the California is both

40
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: Paul Mitchell and Assembly members and senators said on the

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: record that these maps will create a new Latino district

42
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: and they're going to empower and provide more power to

43
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: Latinos in California. He said his primary concern was to

44
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: add a new Latino majority district here in LA. You're

45
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: not allowed to do that. That is unconstitutional to draw

46
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: a district for a particular racial group. Now there is

47
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 2: a caveat you are allowed to do that in some

48
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 2: states where there is a history of racism towards one

49
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: particular group, you can remedy that and you can draw

50
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 2: a district and have that be a consideration. But that

51
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: requires a history and a record of racism towards a

52
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: particular group. You can't just do that because you want to.

53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: There is no such history or track record of that

54
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 2: in California. And there was nothing wrong with the maps

55
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: that were drawn by the Independent Commission to say that

56
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: they needed to be remedied or somehow those maps were

57
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: racists in themselves, and therefore we had to remedy that

58
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: racism with this racism. So that's the problem California has, and.

59
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: The Equal Protection Clause makes it clear that this cannot happen.

60
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: You have to treat citizens equally, and so if Latinos

61
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: are being favored and provided more power by giving them

62
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: a district and a representative, that it violates the equal

63
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: protection rights of the other people in that district who

64
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: are not Latino. So that is where the equal protection

65
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: comes in. The government is supposed to treat us all equally.

66
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: And it's interesting that they publicly admitted this is what

67
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: they were doing. This is not a fishing expedition to

68
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: try to find a technical violation. They made it clear,

69
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: it's like, this is what we wanted to accomplish.

70
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're very brazen about it. And what they said

71
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: is Texas was trying to erase Latino districts or erase

72
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: Latino power. So they basically sold this as our answer

73
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: to Texas, We're going to make up for what Texas did,

74
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: and we're going to draw Latino district here to make

75
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: up for what we think is happening in Texas.

76
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 1: You can't do that, and Texas did not do anything illegal.

77
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: Well I've not personally looked at those maps, but if

78
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,799
Speaker 2: they did do any illegal, they would be challenged in court.

79
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 2: And I don't I have not seen that the Texas

80
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: legislature used race as a factor to draw their maps.

81
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: I'm not aware of those facts.

82
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: How long does a case like this get have to

83
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: go through the system here? I mean, is this a

84
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: quick decision or a quick analysis of the maps by

85
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: the by the federal judge, or is this going to

86
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: be a lengthy, twisted thing.

87
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: So it's interesting because of this impacts of voting right Sack,

88
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: There's some unique statutes at play. We're going to be

89
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: moving at the speed of light here. Basically, it starts

90
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: in the district court. We will be asking if we're

91
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: entitled to have a three judge panel evaluate the case.

92
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: It's going to be two district court judges and an

93
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 2: appellate judge who will make the initial decision on the case.

94
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 2: Our immediate ask is that these maps be put on

95
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: hold so that the litigation can continue. People have to

96
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: start pulling papers and running for office in the next

97
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: couple of months here, and so we will not be

98
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: able to fully litigate the merits in this case that quickly.

99
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: So in the meantime we will be asking that the

100
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: maps be placed on hold and not to go into

101
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: effect in twenty twenty six. After this three judge panel

102
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: makes the decision. We're entitled to an immediate review by

103
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court, so it could get to the Supreme

104
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: Court very quickly.

105
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: All right, now, on the case up in Sacramento. And

106
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: I know you're not personally involved in this, but I

107
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: just wanted to run one thing by you. And if

108
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: you can't comment, that's all right. But you know they're

109
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: charging Newsom's former chief of staff with twenty three camp

110
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: of corruption, Dana Williamson. And on the front page of

111
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: the La Times right now, they had a line about

112
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: how they asked Williamson to wear a wire against Newsome

113
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: and they wanted any information she had about a possible

114
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: separate case against him. Do you know what all that

115
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: would mean? Because it wasn't detailed in the story and

116
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: I can't find any other references.

117
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: Anywhere, John, even if I wanted to, I could not

118
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 2: comment on that case, all right.

119
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: I thought I'd try your job.

120
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: You gotta try.

121
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: We do fishing expeditions too here.

122
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: So I definitely would not want to do anything to

123
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: jeopardize that case.

124
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: I understand. That's how very curious the Times of all

125
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: places put that in their front page teas that they

126
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: wanted her to wear a wire. All right, Bill A. Sale,

127
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: thank you very much for coming on.

128
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: Thank you, John, anytime.

129
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: Bill Sale. He is the US Attorney for the Central

130
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: District of California, the first assistant US attorney. Specifically, We've

131
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: got more coming up. There's more. It's hard to believe

132
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: here more. Well, I want to get more into this,

133
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: this this corruption case up in Sacramento, because we just

134
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: scratched the surface of this.

135
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: Here you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf

136
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: I am six forty.

137
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: So I got to say this. We have been covering

138
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: two big scandals today, primarily and then the third one

139
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: with Newsom getting sued by the federal government over that

140
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: Proposition fifty because it violates the Constitution racial jerrymandering. But

141
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: Newsom's Newsom's chief of staff, and you know, in the

142
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: next segment, I'm going to explain to you more deeply

143
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: who she is. But Newsom's chief of staff, Dana Williamson

144
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: Uh is a real nasty, mean bully, and she looks

145
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: like a nasty, mean bully and she acts like it.

146
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: And her name is popped up in the news before.

147
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: You may not remember I've talked about her before, but

148
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: she single handedly tried to knock Prop thirty six off

149
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: the ballot behind the scenes because they don't want Prop

150
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: thirty six justice. They don't they want shoplifting to be legal,

151
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: they want drug use to be legal, they want fenton

152
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: used to be legal. Those are the things Prop thirty

153
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: six attacked. And Newsom and Dana Williamson, the indicted Daily

154
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,559
Speaker 1: and Williamson, they've fought tooth and nail behind the scenes,

155
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: dirty stuff. They lost, but they got their revenge because

156
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: now Newsom refuses to fund Prop thirty six. So there

157
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: isn't rehabilitation for the drug users. There isn't treatment, i

158
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: should say, for the drug users, and so counties are

159
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: shouldering the burden alone and they don't have the money.

160
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: These are very very bad, devious people. They're in it

161
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: for themselves. And Williamson was just an out and out crook,

162
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: and she had other crooks in Democratic circles, like Xavier

163
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: Besserra's chief of staff. He was the attorney general here.

164
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: Can you imagine this, The chief of staff for the

165
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: guy who was our attorney general. They stole from his

166
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: political account. They're stealing from their bosses because it was

167
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: political donations. It wasn't tax money. But you got to

168
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: believe that a lot of tax money has been stolen

169
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: by this crowd too. It's got to and I wonder

170
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: if everything's starting finally to crumble, combined with this other

171
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: scandal in the Palisades where you had two US Senators

172
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: holding a hearing and people in town are testifying as

173
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: to everything that happened. The lack of preparation, the lack

174
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: of water in the reservoir, the lack of fire hydrants,

175
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: the lack of fire engines, the lack of fire presence,

176
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: the lack of insurance now that we're finding out, the

177
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: lack of permits to rebuild. Did they want to do this?

178
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: If they wanted to do this, what would they have

179
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: done differently? They would have done exactly what happened. And

180
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: now the Gavin Newsom donors who are in the real

181
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: estate development business, the construction business, they're gonna have a

182
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: field day in the Palisades putting up low income housing,

183
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: affordable housing, all the euphemisms they have. They're gonna make

184
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: a lot of money building that. And they stripped away

185
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: the insurance from these Palisades residents because of a backfiring

186
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: plan that Newsom and Ricardo Lara wrote, Newsom and Riccardo

187
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: Lara wrote a new set of insurance rules that led

188
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: the insurance companies to pull out by the tens of

189
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: thousands in the Palisades and other areas. How much of

190
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: people going to put up with now that we know

191
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: there's corruption right up to news office door. I gotta

192
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: believe that Williamson was right outside the door, right down

193
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: the hallway there, and she was doing some of this

194
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: corruption while she was Newsom's chief of staff. She took

195
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: a million dollars in a phony COVID loan. Wait do

196
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: you hear more details? That's coming up meantime, I've talked

197
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: about Newsoen Newsom prancing and in front of the pompfoons

198
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: in Brazil at this UN Climate conference, and the political

199
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: dot com. Oh the woman who was twitching over Newsom yesterday,

200
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: Camille von Kine. She got another one headline. Newsom is

201
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: a rock star, a rock star with one glaring weakness.

202
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: Uh oh, he's impotent in some way. See, he doesn't

203
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: have a seat at on any of these committees. He

204
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: doesn't have a vote. He's just preening and prancing. And

205
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: Newsome has unveiled all these voluntary agreements, joint statements, non

206
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: binding memorandums of understanding. It's all bs, it's all gas.

207
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: They signed agreements with governments including Nigeria, one of the

208
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: German states, one of the Brazilian states. These are fake agreements.

209
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: He's got no power of power what to do what.

210
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: He can't sign a climate agreements with other countries or

211
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: states within those countries. They're memorandoms of understandings. And he's

212
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: very proud of these because he likes to hold fake

213
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: media events, fake press conferences and wave paper at the

214
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: reporters and then they write story saying Newsom is a

215
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: man of action. He's negotiating all these agreements. They're all

216
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: nonsense agreements. They're not binding, they're not particularly about anything.

217
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: They're about goals, they're about resolutions, they're about intentions things

218
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: to his quote that they're to encourage each other to

219
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: be more ambitious, a symbolic marker. Absolute nonsense. But he

220
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: still gets the headline Nussom is a rock star because

221
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: most people aren't going to read the story. I think

222
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: the love affair between him and Camille von Kino is

223
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: over looks like she's she's starting to sour hair. Nice

224
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: hair can only go so far. Yeah, I know, after

225
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: a while, you got to you gotta talk to the guy,

226
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, and there's nothing there. All right, we come back.

227
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: We will give you a complete rundown of this newest

228
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: criminal that's been dug out of the NUSOM administration. His

229
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: chief of staff and her name is Daniel Williamson, and

230
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: her bed behind the scene actions have really affected your

231
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: life because she fought very hard to block Prop thirty

232
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: six and she was told last year that she was

233
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: headed for an indictment. Newsom knew she left as chief

234
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: of staff, and he never told the state that he

235
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: had such a corrupt public thief in his midst.

236
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am

00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: All right, you got to listen today to the podcast

241
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: if you missed anything, because we covered the press conference,

242
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: not the press conference, the Senate hearing in Pacific Palisades

243
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: regarding the fire. We got two US senators doing a

244
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: complete investigation from beginning to end. We're also got Newsom.

245
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: We had Bill Saley on the US Attorney here in

246
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Newsom is getting sued by the federal government

247
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: that Prop fifty is racist, basically Rachel jerry mandering and

248
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: violates the fourteenth Amendment. And we have his chief of staff,

249
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: Dana Williamson and others twenty three counts of federal corruption.

250
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: She was chief of staff for two years from twenty

251
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: twenty two to twenty twenty four. So all of that

252
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: is on the podcast those three things. Who Show has

253
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: been about those three things that's coming up. All right,

254
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: let's get into Daniel Williamson. If you're just joining us here,

255
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: here's the quick overview. Dana Williamson. She's fifty three years

256
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: old and she's built like a tank. Let me tell

257
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: you she's charged by a federal grand jury twenty three counts.

258
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: She's mean looking and when I read you some of

259
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: the transcripts here, you'll see how nasty she is. Twenty

260
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: three counts conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, bank fraud,

261
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: and conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruct justice.

262
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: She illegally wrote off a million dollars in vacations luxury

263
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: purses and private jet travel as business expenses after getting

264
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: an illegal one million dollar COVID loan. She is a

265
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: Democratic political consultant chief of staff for Newsom. She also

266
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: worked for Gray Davis, Gray Davis and Jerry Brown. She

267
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: pleaded not guilty, had to put up a five hundred

268
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: thousand dollars bond. She had that money. And for those

269
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: of you were saying, now, this is just a Trump

270
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: revenge prosecution, No, this started under Biden three years ago.

271
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: An ongoing political corruption investigation began more than three years ago.

272
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: According to the US Attorney for the Eastern District, Eric Grant,

273
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: Here's what Dana Williamson did. She and another man, actually

274
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: two other men, helped two hundred and twenty five thousand

275
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: dollars from an inactive political account belonging to Xavier Bessera,

276
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: who used to be the Attorney general, then went to

277
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: the Biden administration and is now running for governor. He

278
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: had two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars in campaign

279
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: money left in his account, and Williamson and Bessarah's former

280
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: chief of staff, Sean McCluskey, went after it, and they

281
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 1: got a lobbyist named Greg Campbell to direct the two

282
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: hundred twenty five thousand dollars from Bessara's account to McCluskey.

283
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: Then the money was passed to McCluskey's wife for a

284
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: no show job. And here's why he did it, Because

285
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,479
Speaker 1: he's pled guilty. He's explained. McCluskey says he he had

286
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: to take a pay cut when he went to Washington

287
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: to work for Bessarah as the secretary at the Department

288
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: of Health and Human Services. His salary was not covering

289
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: his expenses and he was prohibited by government rules from

290
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: receiving outside income. Now, get this, he was prohibited from

291
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: violating ethics laws by getting an outside job, but he

292
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: wasn't worried about violating criminal law by stealing the money

293
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: from Bessara's political account. And Dana Williamson was in on

294
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: it and got some of the money. In twenty twenty two,

295
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: McCluskey met with Williamson, who was working in private practice,

296
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: and they agreed to a plan. They would charge Bessara's

297
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: campaign account seventy five hundred dollars a month as a

298
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: fake fee for managing the money. Managing the money they

299
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 1: were stealing the money, and then took the money they

300
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: were stealing and said, well, it's a fee for managing

301
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: the money that we're stealing. I'm not making this up.

302
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: They ran it through Williamson's private consulting business and Greg

303
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: Campbell's public affairs firm, and they funneled it through these

304
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: companies and it ended up with Sean McCluskey's wife. Supposedly

305
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: McCluskey's wife had a job, except it didn't exist. You

306
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: follow in all this, Then Williamson had a separate scam

307
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,479
Speaker 1: going on again. Dana Williamson is Newsom's former chief of staff,

308
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: false tax returns a million dollars in business deductions that

309
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: she got with COVID money. She had it like a

310
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: fake COVID loan. Bought Chanell handbags and earrings for fifteen

Speaker 1: and earrings and a set of earrings and one Chanell bag. Yes,

313
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: but a Fendy handbag as well. Yeah, Fendy is up

314
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: there too. Is Fendy higher lower than Chanelle? I think

315
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: lower lower? I see new heating and air conditioning system,

316
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: A luxury hotel stay for Dana Williamson's birthday tenth another

317

Speaker 1: cash gift to a relative ten thousand dollars spent on

318
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: an amusement park here in California when she was at

319
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: When she was at the hearing, she briefly turned around

320
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: to reporters and she raised her cuffed hand to wipe

321
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: a tear from her eye. She faces up to twenty

322
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: years in prison a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars

323
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: fine for each count of the various frauds. I'm going

324
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: to give you a little quickie read from a transcript

325
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: that's part of this, and I have to edit it out.

326
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: You'll get the idea. This is a conversation in the indictment.

327
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: This is Williamson talking with a co conspirator because somebody,

328
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: and it doesn't say who, submitted a California Public Records

329
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: Act about some of this that was going on. So

330
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: somebody was looking for evidence and Dana Williamson got very upset,

331
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: so fing this request for any communications with all these people,

332
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: and it would capture all the meetings. And I was like, well,

333
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: I'm f if I have to produce all that because

334
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: I talked to these a holes all the time. And

335
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: the conspirator said, right, also like Effer, and Williamson said, yeah,

336
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: I know, Effer, double effort. I mean this office should

337
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: play the same efing game they play and make them

338
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: wait three years so you could see. Usually usually people

339
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: have chanel and sindibags have a little more class, not necessarily.

340
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: Just because you're rich doesn't mean you have class. So

341
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: they can be this crass and rude and profane. I see,

342
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: here's another clip from the Conspirator. Yeah, uh f her.

343
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: They don't know who they're messing with, Williamson, Yeah, they

344
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: really don't. They're talking like mobsters. They don't know who

345
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: they're messing with. Gavin Newsom's chief of staff, and some

346
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: of this was done while she's in office with Newsom.

347
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: She gets notified of the investigation at the end of

348
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and tells Newsom so she has to leave.

349
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: But Newsom doesn't tell the public that he had a

350
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: woman running things who's on the verge of a major

351
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: federal indictment and a long prison term. Now here's the thing.

352
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: And I found this in the New York Times story.

353
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: Now this is I mean, I hope I can find

354
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: this quickly. They that New York Times story also has

355
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: a piece the attorney. Her attorney said she was contacted

356
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: by federal agents while she worked for Newsom and they

357
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: asked if she would cooperate in an investigation of the governor,

358
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: and she said that she didn't have any she did

359
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: not see any misconduct by him. So there's another possible

360
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: investigation into Newsom. Separately, and another story in the La

361
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: Times said they asked her to wear a wire. I

362
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: think this is why Newsom was in Brazil this week.

363
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 1: Now it's all coming together. Yeah, I don't think he

364
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: wanted to be in Brazil in order to negotiate a

365
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: climate agreement with Nigeria, a non binding fake climate agreement.

366
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: He wanted to He knew this was coming. So there's

367
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of filth in corruption that swirls around

368
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom's world, and there's going to be more bombshells

369
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: coming out, and he's not going to be president. He

370
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: might as well give up.

371
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,359

378
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: This is important. I want to squeeze this in because

379
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: is another terrible scandal that resulted in death. Because of

380
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom's policies. They gave out seventeen thousand commercial drivers

381
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: licenses to immigrants illegal aliens. Scott, can you imagine this?

382
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: Seventeen thousand and then one of these guys was involved

383
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: in a terrible accident on the ten Freeway that killed

384
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: three people, and the Trump administration. Sean Duffy, who's in

385
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: charge of the Transportation Department, called out Newsom. And we

386
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: have a story here from ABC seven Madison Wheel.

387
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: California is revoking seventeen thousand commercial driver's licenses issued to immigrants. Yeah,

388
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 2: the decision is directly related to the legal status of

389
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 2: the immigrant drivers. Eyewitness A new supporters live in our

390
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: newsroom with these details.

391
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 4: Madison, Yeah, John, Rachel Tony, that's right. The state says

392
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 4: the licenses are being revoked because they're set to expire

393
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 4: after the date the drivers are allowed to be in

394
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 4: the US.

395
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: The move follows.

396
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 4: Pressure from the Trump administration, although California says these licenses

397
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 4: violate an existing standard that was already in place. A

398
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 4: nationwide audit was recently launched after a man from India

399
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 4: with a commercial driver's license issued by California allegedly killed

400
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 4: three people in Florida while making an illegal U turn back.

401
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: Into August incident.

402
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 4: And a national review, the Department of Transportation threatened to

403
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 4: pull one hundred and sixty million in federal funding from California,

404
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 4: claiming the issue the state is issuing commercial drivers' licenses

405
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 4: to undocumented immigrants. Still, Governor Newsom says that every driver

406
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 4: whose licenses being revoked had valid work authorizations from the

407
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 4: federal government. Another horrific crash that is up to this

408
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 4: issue and the spotlight is one that happened in Ontario

409
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 4: last month. It involved an undocumented man from India who

410
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 4: is now facing the hicular, manslaughter and reckless driving charges

411
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 4: after three people died in that fiery wreck. In September,

412
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 4: the US Department of Transportation implemented new rules for commercial drivers'

413
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 4: licenses to make it harder for immigrants to obtain these licenses.

414
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: Don't you love how the guy in Florida the illegal

415
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: alien in Florida was described as allegedly killing. Like those

416
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: people are allegedly dead. Are these TV people? Do they

417
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: listen to themselves? They're allegedly killed. No, actually did kill

418
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: because they're really dead. Same thing with the three people

419
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: here in California that was six deaths because of and

420
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: Channel seven didn't know how to describe them. At first

421
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: they were immigrants, Uh huh illegal immigrants. Oh, then they

422
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: were undocumented workers or whatever. The trendy nonsense phrase is

423
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: now illegal aliens. And Newsom gave out seventeen thousand of

424
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: these licenses, and what do you know, people died because

425
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: these people don't know American traffic laws, they don't speak English,

426
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: they're not trained to drive these trucks. Just more chaos,

427
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: absolute chaos. And I think the quote from Sean Duffy,

428
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: the Transportation Secretary, Yeah, listen to this. After weeks of

429
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: claiming they did nothing wrong, Gavin Newsom in California have

430
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: been caught red handed now that we've exposed their laws.

431
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: Seventeen thousand illegally issued trucking licenses have been revoked. That

432
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: is just the tip of the iceberg. My team will

433
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: continue to force California to approve they have removed every

434
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: illegal immigrant from from behind the wheel of semi trucks

435
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: and school buses. Yes, you had untrained illegal aliens driving

436
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: school buses in California because Gavin Newsom gave them a license.

437
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: Keep voting the way you're voting. It's all working out

438
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: really well. Too bad about those six allegedly dead people.

439
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: All right, we'll be back tomorrow. I don't think we

440
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: can top today. We got Michael Krozer next, and Conway's
