1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,239 Speaker 1: Caf I Am six forty. 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,439 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 2: app Moran from one until four and after four o'clock 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 2: John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app, and 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 2: you could listen to what you missed, and you may 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 2: have missed our three o'clock hour yesterday, and I direct 7 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: you to yesterday's podcast, the Third Hour, because it's the 8 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: beginning of what I think is going to be a 9 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 2: long running and very successful movement. I am feeling more 10 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: optimistic today than I have in many years that we're 11 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 2: going to come We're coming to an end to the 12 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 2: great progressive experiment on crime here in California, because it's 13 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 2: been so destructive and such an utter failure, and some 14 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 2: of the leading politicians in the state who have been 15 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: pushing us into the ABYSS, they're now jumping ship. Let's 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: go back to yesterday at three o'clock and again you 17 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 2: can hear this original interview in detail, but I'm going 18 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 2: to give you a summary. Now. This is really important. 19 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: This is going to be a turning point. Greg Totten 20 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: is who we spoke with. He is the campaign chair 21 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: for an organization called Californians to reduce homelessness, drug addiction, 22 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 2: and theft. 23 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: And they have. 24 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: A referendum proposed for the ballot that would massively rewrite Prop. 25 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 2: Forty seven. This is a really big deal. And they 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: have already gotten three hundred and sixty signatures in a 27 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: very short time, just barely over a month. They have 28 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 2: to get five hundred and forty six thousand valid signatures, 29 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 2: so they're shooting for eight hundred thousand total signatures to 30 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: weed out people who aren't eligible to vote and mistakes 31 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 2: and whatnot. So they've got three hundred and sixty. They 32 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: did it in I guess five weeks, and they've got 33 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: till April twenty sixth and here is what's in the bill. 34 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: This bill will rewrite Prop forty seven. They will start 35 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 2: prosecuting thieves, shoplifters, people who are stealing stuff. By the 36 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: third time, you're going to go to jail. And that 37 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 2: was that. This is huge because the way the law 38 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 2: is written right now, as you know, you could go 39 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: and steal nine hundred and fifty dollars worth of stuff 40 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: every single day. It's always a misdemeanor. Misdemeanors are not 41 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: prosecuted much anymore, and if they are, you get no 42 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 2: jail time. So this would start prosecuting on the third 43 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 2: time you're caught, which is what they do in other states. 44 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: That's number one. 45 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: Number two, it would go back to the old way 46 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: of when you pick up somebody who has drug possession, 47 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: they're going to have a choice. They are either going 48 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 2: to prison or they're going to go to treatment. Their choice. 49 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: Prop forty seven got rid of that choice, and nobody 50 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 2: went to prison and nobody got treatment. But you see 51 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 2: them all over the place right They're laying underneath the 52 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: highway overpasses and in parks and in sidewalks, and they 53 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: keep shooting up and snorting up, and you know, it's 54 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: just ruined. It's ruined a lot of neighborhoods and a 55 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 2: lot of cities in California. The experiments coming to an end. 56 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 2: We've got to get this on the ballot. It's going 57 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: to pass, and then people start getting arrested for theft, 58 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: they'll start getting arrested for drugs, or they're going to 59 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: go into treatment programs. The third thing is going to 60 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: go after fetanyl dealers. If you remember the awful people 61 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: in the Assembly and cented Public Safety committees have been 62 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: blocking any legislation that would put fetanyl dealers in prison 63 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: for killing their customers, and this would would rewrite those 64 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: fentanyl laws. It's going to make a big difference in life. 65 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: We're going to go back to the way life was 66 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: ten years ago. This is going to go down as 67 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: a bad experiment, a dark decade when progressive fanaticism took 68 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: over the state and ruined the state and made it 69 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: unlivable for a lot of people. And we've always had 70 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 2: the power to fix it, and it's always we were. 71 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: Well. 72 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: The public screwed up by voting for Pop forty seven 73 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: and fifty seven. Your fault for blaming that lying idiot 74 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: Jerry Brown, that lying idiot Kamala Harris, who was the 75 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 2: Attorney general at the time. You shouldn't believe people like that. 76 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: They're bad people and they lie, and they have a 77 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: weird philosophy about not putting bad people in prison. You 78 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 2: have to there's no other way to live. And I 79 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: don't care about any of their arguments. 80 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: We tried. 81 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: It didn't work, So here's how you correct it. And 82 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: we're going to part of the signature gathering process. In fact, 83 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: we're hoping tomorrow, we're gonna have a big announcement and 84 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 2: we are going to be on the road at a 85 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: location within two weeks and you'll be able to walk up, 86 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 2: drive up and sign these petitions. Again, it's the Homelessness, 87 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act. They've got three hundred 88 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: and sixty thousand. They'd like to get another half million, 89 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: and it can be done. They're getting, according to Greg Totten, 90 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: twice as many signatures. The rate is twice as fast 91 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: as they as they expected. And again Greg is is 92 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 2: chief executive officer of the California District Attorneys Association. It's 93 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: the District Attorney's Association that has put this ballot initiative together. 94 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: These are the prosecutors, not County George Gascon, but many 95 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: of the rest of them. And he's also been the 96 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 2: Ventura County District Attorney. And there's what he's talking about. 97 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: This is structured and written properly. And here is the 98 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 2: biggest news of the day. And this is what makes 99 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: me think we are turning the corner and sunshine is coming. 100 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 2: Today the mayor of San Francisco, London Breed, announced she's 101 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: endorsing this act to rewrite Prop forty seven. Also the 102 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 2: mayor of San Jose, Matt Mayhon. He's also endorsing the Homelessness, 103 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: Drug Addiction and Theft Production Act. These are two of 104 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: the biggest cities in California. Obviously, San Francisco in particular 105 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 2: has been destroyed running to the ground. London Breed is 106 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 2: running for reelection, so's she switched sides. Both of these 107 00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 2: are have been progressive zealots and now they realize, end 108 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: of the line, they're not going to survive. In fact, 109 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 2: we're going to talk after one point thirty. There is 110 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: a serious recall campaign against the district attorney up in 111 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 2: Alameda County, that's Oakland, and she's very likely going to 112 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: get recalled too, because even in Oakland, everybody's had it 113 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 2: because all the victims of crime in these big cities, 114 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: they're not progressives. They don't want to live like this. 115 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 2: Nobody wants to live like this. No, Democrats don't, Republicans don't. 116 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: Just this weird cult that took over government over the 117 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: last ten years, and those people have to be dropped 118 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: out in the ocean. Let me just read you a 119 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: quote from London Breed in San Francisco. We're making progress 120 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 2: on property crimes, but the challenges we are facing related 121 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 2: to fentanil and organized retail theft require real. 122 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: Change to our state laws. 123 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: Fentanyl is deadlier and more addictive than any drug we've 124 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 2: had recine and a tearis communities and families apart. The Homelessness, 125 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act will make targeted but 126 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 2: impactful changes to our laws around fentandel and help us 127 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: tackle the chronic retail theft that hurts our retailers, workers 128 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: and cities. I fully support this measure, and San Jose 129 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: Mayor Matt Mahon said similar things, but he also focused 130 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 2: on judges mandating treatment for those struggling with severe addiction 131 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 2: and hold repeat offenders accountable. And again there's three keys here. 132 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 2: You start prosecuting and jailing repeat thieves. You start prosecuting 133 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 2: and either jailing drug offenders or forcing them into treatment. 134 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: You give them two paths, jail or treatment. Thirdly, as 135 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 2: you go off to the fentanyl dialers, put them in prison. 136 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 2: And that's what this particular act will accomplish. This gets 137 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: on the ballot and the polling, according to Greg Totten, 138 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: threw the roof on this for different sections of the bill. 139 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 2: The support goes from eighty to ninety five percent, so 140 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 2: this will pass. People are signing it like crazy. We're 141 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: going to help get this done in two weeks, probably 142 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 2: tomorrow hopefully, we're going to announce the location and at time, 143 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: and you can come and meet us and sign the petition. 144 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 2: You can drive up and do it. So this is 145 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 2: a big deal. Last twenty four hours has made me think, okay, 146 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 2: where this era is coming to an end. When we 147 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 2: come back, there is a lot of Joe Biden news 148 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: and Trump news, a lot of court cases. Supreme Court 149 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 2: heard the case about Trump and his being thrown off 150 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 2: the Colorado ballot. That issue came before the Supreme Court. 151 00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 2: Justice is Biden today got a report on his document issue. 152 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 2: Remember he had all those classified documents that he never returned. Well, 153 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 2: they had a judgment on that, and they also had 154 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 2: a judgment on the state of Biden's mind, which I'll 155 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 2: tell you about immediately after we have debor do the news, 156 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 2: and then we're gonna give away one thousand dollars. John 157 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 2: Cobelt Shug. 158 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am 159 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 3: six forty. 160 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: We're going to be covering the recall, the attempted recall. Now, of. 161 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 2: Let me get this straight here, the Alameda County District Attorney, 162 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 2: Pamela Price, she's a Gascone clone. She is responsible for 163 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: a lot of mayhem going on in Oakland, with which 164 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 2: we've talked a lot about Pamela Price. She's on the block, 165 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 2: and we're going to talk with one of the organizers 166 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 2: of the recall. Her name is Brenda Grisham. And it 167 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 2: is so bad in Oakland that Gavin Newsom has sent 168 00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: California state attorneys to try to help process cute criminals. 169 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 2: There are so many criminals, there aren't enough prosecutors to 170 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: make the case, and Pamela Price doesn't prosecute a lot 171 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 2: of people to begin with, so it is a real mess. 172 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: And Newsom is sending an emergency crew of prosecutors in 173 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 2: and one hundred and twenty CHP officers. So we'll talk 174 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 2: about all that after one point thirty. Okay, this story 175 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 2: is just breaking. I heard it as I was driving in. 176 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 2: Now I have totally lost interest in classified document scandals. 177 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 2: You know about Trump's trial that's going to come up 178 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: maybe later this year, and Biden also was being investigated 179 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 2: by a special counsel named Robert Hurr, because he had 180 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 2: over the years, collected a lot of classified documents. He 181 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 2: had classified documents from his days as a senator, going 182 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 2: back to the nineteen seventies, his days as a vice president. 183 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 2: They found these documents in in various places, including his 184 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 2: home in Delaware. But ultimately Robert Hurr issued a report 185 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 2: today and decided not to prosecute Biden. And one of 186 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 2: the big reasons, and I'm going to read this verbatim, 187 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: and maybe some journalists would like to pay attention the 188 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 2: ones who don't believe Biden has dementia. All right, So 189 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: this is from the special Council from his own Department 190 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: of Justice. One of the reasons that they're not going 191 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 2: to charge Biden is Biden's poor memory would make him 192 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 2: hard to convict. Here's an exact quote in his interview 193 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 2: with our office. Mister Biden's memory was worse. He did 194 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: not remember when he was vice president. Forgetting on the 195 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 2: first day of the interview when his term ended, if 196 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 2: it was twenty thirteen. 197 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: When did I stop being vice president? 198 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 2: That's a quote, and then forgetting on the second day 199 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: of the interview when his term began in two thousand 200 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 2: and nine, am I still vice president. He did not remember, 201 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 2: even within several years of when his son bo died, 202 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 2: and his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate 203 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,359 Speaker 2: that was once so important. Among other things, he mistakenly 204 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: said he had a real difference of opinion with General 205 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: Carl Eichenberry, when in fact Iichenberry was an ally whom 206 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 2: Biden cited approvingly in a memo to Obama. In a 207 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 2: case where the government must prove that Biden knew he 208 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: had possession of the classified Afghanistan documents after the vice presidency, 209 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: and that he chose to keep those documents knowing he 210 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 2: was violating the law, we expect that at trial his 211 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 2: attorneys would emphasize these limitations in his recall. He doesn't 212 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 2: remember exactly when he was vice president, he doesn't remember 213 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 2: when his son died, he doesn't remember pieces of the 214 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 2: Afghanistan debate, he doesn't remember who his allies were. And 215 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 2: in the legal opinion of the Special Counsel, no point 216 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 2: taking him to trial. Nobody's going to convict him. Too old, 217 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 2: too feeble. But hey vote for Biden to November right, 218 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: because five more years as president five more years as president. 219 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: Wow. 220 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 2: I had heard that in the White House they were 221 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 2: very nervous about this report, that it would be embarrassing, 222 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 2: but there was no detail as to what they thought 223 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 2: would be embarrassing. But I imagine that Biden staffers and 224 00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 2: attorneys accompanied him when he was giving these depositions, and they, 225 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 2: of course they know every day because they live with him. 226 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 2: This is not just being mean and hyperbolic to say 227 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: his mind is shot. His mind is shot. And any 228 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: journalist that downplays, ignores, or denies that he's got advanced 229 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 2: let's say, advanced cognitive decline, is that the polite, politically 230 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 2: correct term, then you're just a liar, you're just a joke, 231 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 2: you're just a fool as a journalist. And they're all 232 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 2: over the place. You see them on television all the time. 233 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 2: There's some code of silence. Well, and you know why, 234 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: because they're all a bunch of wacky progressives and they 235 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 2: hate Trump, so they're not going to acknowledge what's obvious 236 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 2: with your eyes, my eyes, that Biden mind is shot. 237 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 2: He's got no business in being president right now. He 238 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 2: really doesn't. 239 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: Okay, and yeah, sorry, yeah, oh. 240 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: Oh, And by the way he communicated apparently with another 241 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: dead European leader. That's the second one this week. We've got, 242 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 2: We've got, and we've got a whole report actually because 243 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 2: Fox News went through a long list of dead people 244 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: that Biden has communicated with. Man even Stephen Colbert was 245 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 2: making jokes, but Biden talking to the dead. So everybody's 246 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: turning on him and he shouldn't be president and he 247 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 2: shouldn't be running for president. And you know they'll take 248 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 2: him away today. And that's the truth. And so how's 249 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 2: this going to play out this year? This is going 250 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 2: to be exciting when we come back. There is a 251 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 2: movement to remove another prosecutor. Brenda Grisham is going to 252 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 2: be with us. Brenda Grisham is behind a recall of 253 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 2: the Alameda County District Attorney, Pamela Price. She's the one 254 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 2: who's helped destroy Oakland and surrounding cities because she doesn't 255 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 2: prosecute anybody. She's like Gascone with an even worse outcome. 256 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A 257 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 3: six forty. 258 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 2: We're on the radio from one until four and then 259 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 2: after four o'clock.

We've got more and I'll 262 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 2: get into this a little later in the hour, but 263 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 2: we've got more now on Joe Biden is not going 264 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 2: to be charged with any crimes for hiding all those 265 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: classified documents for so many years. And one of the 266 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 2: big reasons is according to the Special Council Robert Hurr 267 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 2: he Sema and I read you two paragraphs from the 268 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 2: official report, and more paragraphs are now being made public. 269 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 2: And we'll go through this further coming up in just 270 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 2: a few minutes. But first, yes, revolution is in the air. 271 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 2: Governor Newsom is sending in a team of prosecutors state 272 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 2: prosecutors to assist the Alameda County DA Pamela Price. They 273 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 2: have so many crimes in the Oakland area, and on 274 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 2: top of that, doesn't she doesn't prosecute many people, which 275 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 2: is why you have an overwhelming number of crimes, because 276 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 2: the criminals then keep stealing more stuff and assaulting more people. 277 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: He's also sending one hundred and twenty California Highway Patrol 278 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 2: officers into the Oakland area as well. It's chaos. It's 279 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: like a war zone up there, and there is a 280 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 2: strong movement to remove the DA Pamela price.

You know, our goal we 305 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 4: were required to get seventy three thousand, one hundred and 306 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 4: ninety five, so my goal was one hundred and ten 307 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 4: thousand for that specific reason. 308 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 2: What what is it like in Oakland? In Alameda County? 309 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 2: We hear, we read the headlines, and so that's all 310 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 2: we got to go by. What's the reality like, Well, 311 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: the reality is what you're reading in the headlines. 312 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 4: You know, Alameda County as a whole is you know, 313 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 4: lawless crime here, but it's a lot central in Oakland 314 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 4: because Oakland is just a high crime city. The other 315 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 4: cities have less crime, you know, but the demographics are 316 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 4: the same. The carjackings, the breaking into businesses, it is 317 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 4: more frequent here than in any other city. But we 318 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 4: all are stuffering the same. 319 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: And what is Pamela Price's role in all this? 320 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously not doing her job badly, you want 321 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 2: to recall her, but specifically, what is she doing or 322 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 2: not doing? 323 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 4: She's not really doing anything. I mean, criminals have to 324 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 4: be held accountable for their crimes. We've never ever enough 325 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 4: to speak for me. I've never said anything about putting 326 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 4: somebody away for the rest of their life, because I've 327 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 4: been doing this work for my son has been dead 328 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 4: for thirteen years. I've been doing this work for twelve years. 329 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 4: I also work in avenues that help the young people 330 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 4: stay out of prison. I go in and I talk 331 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 4: to them and try to help them get services. So 332 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 4: I work on both ends. I work with the families, 333 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 4: I work with the fell ins. I just work, you know, 334 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 4: and it's a give and take. They can't go in 335 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 4: a path that they don't want to go. We can't 336 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 4: make them, you know, change their life. But we have 337 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 4: to hold them accountable for the things that they're doing. 338 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 4: So we're not just talking about bippers. We're talking about 339 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 4: murderers that are being let on the street with you know, 340 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 4: no consequences. You have to sit down for just a 341 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 4: minute to figure out you've done something wrong and that's 342 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 4: not what's happening here. 343 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 2: So talk about the kind of work you've been doing, 344 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 2: Like what is your organization? You mentioned your son. Just 345 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 2: give us some backgrounds so people know where you're coming from. 346 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 4: My son, Christopher was murdered December thirty first, twenty ten, 347 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 4: and a year after his murder, I start working as 348 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 4: an advocate for families. I'm on the board of a 349 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 4: few different organizations. I do have a human trafficking organization 350 00:21:54,960 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 4: as well. I have a lobbying group called Their Life Matter, 351 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 4: who travels to Washington and we lobby for gun laws. 352 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 4: You know, I'm dibbling in everything. I'm the chair of 353 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 4: the Gun Violet Subcommittee for the Violence Prevention Coalition. I'm 354 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 4: also on the executive staff of the Violence Prevention Coalition 355 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 4: and a founding member of the Family Support Advocates here 356 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 4: in the City of Oakland. 357 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 2: And what is a panel of Price's philosophy here that 358 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: nobody should be charged with anything serious? I mean, what 359 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 2: is your point here? 360 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 4: What she wants to right the wrong? She wants to 361 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 4: right the wrongs that have been done to black and 362 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 4: brown young men over the years. That's been fine, but 363 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 4: you need to go back to the ones that has 364 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 4: actually been harmed by the system. The people that's in 365 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 4: jail for three strikes. We don't have three strikes. Let 366 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 4: them go home to their families. Throw the ounce of 367 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 4: weed on the corner. I think weed is legal. Send 368 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 4: them home to their family. They've been in their twenty years. 369 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 4: That's the wrong right there. Somebody killing somebody's child and 370 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 4: city in jail for two years or getting five years. 371 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 4: That's not righting or wrong, that's just wrong period. They 372 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 4: have to be able to be held accountable for what 373 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 4: they've done. You took a life, so you don't get 374 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 4: a free pass. I'm not saying send them away forever, 375 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 4: but you don't get a free pass because that's family 376 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 4: over there. Their son or daughter didn't get a chance 377 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 4: to plead for their life. You just took their life. 378 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 2: When when she sees all the mayhem going on in 379 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 2: Oakland and other cities up in Alameda County, she has 380 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 2: not adjusted her philosophy at all. 381 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 4: No, she says it has nothing to do with her. 382 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: Really, yeah, she. 383 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 4: Said it quite often. Her office has nothing to do 384 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 4: with the crime in Oakland, And I honestly feel that 385 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 4: she believes that. You know, I don't really know her personally. 386 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 4: I have dealt with her personally, so I have dealt 387 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 4: with her, so you know, she is what it is. 388 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 2: She truly believes not prosecuting or giving the very light 389 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 2: sentences to all these bad criminals has no effect on 390 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 2: the quality of life outside our office. 391 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 4: Absolutely, absolutely, wow. 392 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 2: I mean I believe it because you know, Gascone here 393 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 2: has has the same philosophy and. 394 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 4: Uh, I don't know how they think that. 395 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 2: So the whole justice system has no impact on what 396 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 2: life is like in a big city. 397 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if you don't put the bad actors 398 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 4: in jail for some type of you know, some type 399 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 4: of accountability, how do you figure that that's not, you know, 400 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 4: having any kind of impact on crime. Not saying it's 401 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 4: all of the impact, but it is a portion of 402 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 4: why crime is like it is in Alameda County. There's 403 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 4: no getting around there. It ain't no question to answer, period, 404 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 4: That's just a plain fact. 405 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 406 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 2: I mean it's significantly worse in recent years. I mean 407 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 2: there's no question, yeah, because you know, all we can 408 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 2: go by is the stories we get and we read about, 409 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 2: you know, the first of all, the violent crimes themselves, 410 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 2: and then how businesses are reacting and the warnings being 411 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 2: given by employers like Kaiser employees aren't supposed to go 412 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 2: to lunch you've got at the airport. The rental car 413 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 2: companies are saying, don't gass up on the way to 414 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 2: the airport. In and out is moving out. And you 415 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 2: just look at all these stories in the aggregate and 416 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 2: there must be something terrible going on. 417 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: This is not Oh yeah. 418 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 4: We had a birthday party for my granddaughter this weekend 419 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 4: in in Review, and I went back to help my 420 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 4: daughter straighten up the room. You know, this week is 421 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 4: my little grand baby. She's full And I pulled up 422 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 4: and twenty cars was bipped, including my daughter's. 423 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: Car, twenty twenty during the party. 424 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 4: No, they went out at like three o'clock in the 425 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 4: morning and they just went down the aisle bipped all 426 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 4: the cars. 427 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: Oh my god. 428 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:58,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, so it was horrible. Yeah, no, no, 429 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 2: it just sounds like insanity from all the news reports 430 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 2: and the video I've seen and all that. And it's 431 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 2: great that you've taken action like this and organized this 432 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 2: recall effort because that's the only way to make things 433 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 2: better is all these district attorneys and politicians they have 434 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: to be replaced. I mean, it's beyond arguing with them 435 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 2: or trying to convince them, because you're talking to a 436 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 2: stone wall. You've got you've just got to remove them 437 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 2: from office. 438 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: There is no other been. 439 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 4: Going on for over a year.

The bush is on fire. 442 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 4: So oh, you know, what I mean, and you got 443 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 4: to kind of turn around and you know, do something different. 444 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 4: But that's not that's not happening. 445 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 2: All right, Brenda Grisham, thank you for coming on.

And see this is this 451 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 2: is what you have to do. You need people like her. 452 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 2: She's with Safe Save Alameda for everyone you heard she 453 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 2: suffered the loss of her son, was murdered some years ago, 454 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 2: and now she says, yeah, it's as bad as you 455 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 2: see in the headlines in the Oakland area in Alameda County, 456 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 2: and much of it has to do with the DA 457 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 2: Pamela Price, another Gascone type. That's what we got to 458 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 2: do down here. I mean, we're just with the ballots 459 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 2: are out. We're going to be talking more about the 460 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 2: election because election day is March fifth, but the ballots 461 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 2: are already out and you could vote from home and. 462 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: Mail it in. 463 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 2: That's what most people are going to do now. So 464 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 2: you have to vote against Gascone and have them removed. 465 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 2: And I very very much. Want to see the top 466 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 2: two finishers be two of the challengers to Gascon. Do not, please, 467 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 2: do not vote for Gascone and encourage everybody you know 468 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 2: not to so he gets squeezed out of the top 469 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 2: two positions and then we can have a real debate 470 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 2: between two qualified people. All Right, we're going to talk 471 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 2: more coming out. Oh yeah, the latest on Biden. Biden 472 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 2: too senile to be charged. That is the message basically 473 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 2: from the Special Council Robert Hurr in the classified documents 474 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 2: case against Biden. 475 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: Unbelievable. 476 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM 477 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 3: six forty. 478 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 2: So much stuff coming up. After two o'clock. We're going 479 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,199 Speaker 2: to have the mayor of Elkhoonan that's much closer to 480 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: the border than most of us are, and he has 481 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 2: seen in the last seven days five thousand migrant encounters. 482 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 2: He says it's a shift in migration away from Texas 483 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 2: and Arizona now to California. It's over eighty five thousand 484 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 2: illegal aliens have been dropped in San Diego County in 485 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 2: the past four months. 486 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: As Texas puts up more razor wire. 487 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 2: The drug cartels are finding an easier time coming into 488 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 2: California where they're not challenged. And so now there's mayhem 489 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 2: in San Diego from all the illegal aliens, nothing like 490 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 2: young men without any work and money. Yeah, that's a 491 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 2: good idea. Anyway, Bill Wells coming on and looks like 492 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 2: he's running for Congress too, so we'll talk to him 493 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 2: in just a few minutes. All right, more news is 494 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 2: coming out. This really is a big deal, and I 495 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 2: am wondering are they doing the happy dance at in 496 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom's office in Sacramento right now, because it looks 497 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 2: like it's wide open to get a new Democratic nominee 498 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 2: based on this news. If you haven't heard. Robert Herr 499 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 2: is the special counsel who is assigned by Biden's Attorney General, 500 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 2: Merrick Garland, and roberts HER's job was to find out 501 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 2: about the classified documents case. Remember it turned out that 502 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 2: Biden had lots of classified documents from his vice presidential days, 503 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 2: from his days in the Senate, going back to the 504 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 2: nineteen seventies. They were scattered in various homes and locations 505 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 2: and offices. They have decided that yes, all this happened, 506 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 2: but they're not going to press any charges. One of 507 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 2: the reasons is and I'll reiterate some of what I 508 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 2: read last half hour, and then I've got new stuff 509 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 2: in an interview with our office. This is her writing. 510 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 2: Mister Biden's memory was worse. He did not remember when 511 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 2: he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of 512 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 2: the interview, when his term ended, forgetting on the second 513 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 2: day of his interview, when his term began. He did 514 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 2: not remember even within several years when his son bo died. 515 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 2: His memory was hazy. Describing the Afghanistan debate, he seemed 516 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 2: not to remember who is his allies and who were 517 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 2: opposed his views in his administration. And here's some more again, 518 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 2: this is from Robert HRR. We have also can considered 519 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 2: that at trial, mister Biden would likely present himself to 520 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 2: a jury, as he did during our interview of him, 521 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 2: as a sympathetic, well meaning elderly man with a poor memory. 522 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 2: Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, 523 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 2: he is someone for whom many jurors will want to 524 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 2: identify reasonable doubt it would be difficult to convince a 525 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 2: jury that they should convict him. By then, a former 526 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 2: president who's well into his eighties of a serious felony 527 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 2: that requires a mental state of wilfulness. Mister Biden's memory 528 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 2: was significantly limited both during his recorded interviews with the 529 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 2: ghostwriter in twenty seventeen and his interview with our office 530 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, and its cooperation with our investigation, 531 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 2: including by reporting to the government that the Afghanistan documents 532 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 2: are in his Delaware garage, will likely convince some jurors 533 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 2: that he made an innocent mistake rather than acting wilfully. 534 00:31:55,080 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 2: So he has got a serious cognitive decline, probably some 535 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 2: form of dementia or Alzheimer's, and he can't remember even 536 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 2: what years he was vice president. He can't even remember 537 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 2: the year's sun died. And in any normal world he 538 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 2: would no longer be president. He certainly wouldn't be running 539 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 2: for president. You wouldn't have the Democratic Party nominating him 540 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 2: for president. 541 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,479 Speaker 1: So what's going to happen next? Is he really going 542 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: to go forward? 543 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 2: And how does he run if his mind is in 544 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 2: this permanent state of decay. This is not going to 545 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 2: be a campaign. I mean, I know they're going to 546 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 2: hide him, but really, now we know for sure that 547 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 2: the reason he's being hidden that he only works from 548 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 2: ten to four. The reason he doesn't do interviews and 549 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 2: press conferences is that his mind is shot. And we've 550 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: heard it repeatedly several times just this week alone. And 551 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 2: the only thing that's been missing is everybody in Washington 552 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 2: and everybody in the media saying out loud what they 553 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 2: see with their own eyes, what they hear with their 554 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 2: own ears, that they know to be true. All the 555 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 2: people who work with him, all the people who cover him. 556 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 2: There has been a conspiracy of silence. And it's what 557 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 2: Joe Scarborough said from MSNBC. He's got a morning talk 558 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 2: show and he said off the air, every single Democrat 559 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 2: he has on off the air says basically, Biden shot. 560 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 2: None of them will say it on the air, and 561 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 2: so it sort of doesn't exist, really, but this is bad. 562 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 2: And this is the embarrassing part that the White House 563 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 2: officials were fearing. They had talked this week, they had 564 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 2: let it be known, trying to get ahead of the 565 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 2: story that there could be some embarrassing revelations. 566 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: And I was wondering what Because. 567 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 2: It's classified documents, right, they were all stuffed in boxes, 568 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 2: and people forgot what's what. It's not that captivating a story. 569 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 2: Trump shouldn't be indicted either for it. I mean, if 570 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 2: they didn't indict Hillary, then not for Trump for Biden. Right, 571 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 2: there's got to be one uniform official protocol here. But 572 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 2: here was one of the reasons why, big reason why 573 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 2: they in so many words. 574 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: They think he's senile. 575 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 2: Okay, if he's so senile that he couldn't sit through 576 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 2: a jury trial, maybe he's too senile to be president 577 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 2: of the United States. 578 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: And by the way, this you know, they did. 579 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 2: His deposition with him twenty twenty three last year, and 580 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 2: according to this report, he was having trouble remembering things 581 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen. 582 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: When he was talking to a writer. So it's over. 583 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: It's over for his brain. 584 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,280 Speaker 2: If he continues running, if he continues serving as president, 585 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 2: it's because everyone is willfully ignoring it. For what reason, 586 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 2: I understand, not wanting to have Kambla. Harris become president. 587 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 2: Maybe that's a powerful enough reason. When we come back, 588 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 2: Bill Wells, the mayor of l Cahone in San Diego County, 589 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 2: down close to the border. He says that the cartels 590 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 2: have rerooted the illegal aliens away from Texas to some extent, 591 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 2: and now they're coming to California, where there's less resistance, 592 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 2: and he says they witnessed five thousand illegal alien encounters 593 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 2: in just the last week.
