1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: If you missed any part of the show today, I

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 2: don't know what to tell you. You do the app

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: absolutely this afternoon and tonight iHeartRadio app John Cobelt's show

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: on demand and catch up on what you missed, such

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 2: as the entertaining interview we did with Stephen Klubek, the

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: Democratic businessman running for governor. Just had him on a

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: few minutes ago. And this hour we're going to have

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: Royal Oaks on for ABC News to explain this appeals

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: court decision in New York which threw out the five

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: hundred million dollar penalty against Donald Trump the civil fraud trial.

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: Remember the claim he was found liable for.

14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: Fraud because when he was getting bank loans, he inflated

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: the worth of his properties. And there were no complaints

16
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: about how he made his case to the banks, how

17
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: he filled out the forums.

18
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: The banks didn't object.

19
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: They in fact, they nobody in court ever testified, ever

20
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: complained about what went on. The banks were entirely paid

21
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: back all their loan money. It was claimed that he

22
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: just jacked up the alleged value of the building Yons.

23
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: I never understood this case because, first of all, a bank,

24
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: I believe, sends an appraiser. I know that happened every

25
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: time we refinanced our mortgage. We got an appraiser at

26
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: the house to determine what the uh, what the value

27
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: of the house really was. I never ever thought they

28
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: were going to take our word for it, and it

29
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: never did. I can't believe a bank would take Donald

30
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: Trump's word for it, or maybe they didn't care, but

31
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: they did business with him for decades.

32
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: Anyway, paid back the loans.

33
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: This was all ginned up by that corrupt Letitia James,

34
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: the New York State Attorney General. And at the moment,

35
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: the fraud charge stands, but there's no penalty. The appeals

36
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: court throughout the entire penalty. It was originally about three

37
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty million dollars, and with interest and other things,

38
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: it was five hundred million, half a billion dollars.

39
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: So at the moment, the way the case stands, it's like, well,

40
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: you did.

41
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: Something wrong, but there's absolutely no consequence. It was a

42
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: civil case.

43
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 1: No fine. Is this nuts?

44
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: Barrel Oaks is going to explain more coming up after

45
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: three point thirty end. We have one leftover from last

46
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 2: week and that's Thursday. But our Moistline round two got

47
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: preempted last Friday because Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin were

48
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: having their summit and they suddenly came out to address

49
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: the world.

50
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: They said nothing.

51
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: They wasted everybody's time, and I thought, well, the moistline

52
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: should live on. All those people went through the trouble

53
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: of leaving their message and will air them coming up

54
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: in the final segment.

55
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: I went through the trouble to edit them.

56
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: I should have added that, yes, and you went through

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: the trouble of editing them. We can't let anything go

58
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: to waste here. No, all right, here's the big news.

59
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 2: And this just came across minutes ago. The California State

60
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 2: Assembly has passed Newsom's redistricting plan. It's a set of

61
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: three bills and they've passed all three. The state Senate

62
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: is still in the process. They've passed one of the three.

63
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: It turned out Newsom had lied. He said he was

64
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: only going to do it if Texas did it. Well,

65
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: they announced this morning they were doing it anyway, no

66
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: matter what Texas does. And Texas is passing those bills.

67
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: Now we now have a governor who has decided to

68
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: take away Republican resident representation in five districts from voters

69
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: who are Republican or independent and want to vote that way.

70
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: They want to vote for a Republican congressperson. And now

71
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: they have stacked these five districts with so many Democratic

72
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: voters it's impossible. So the number of Democratic Congressmen representing

73
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: California could go up to forty eight out of fifty

74
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: two states. Even though forty percent of voters vote for

75
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: Republican congressman, there's going to be less than ten percent

76
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: actually in Congress.

77
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: Now, remember how this works.

78
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: We have a constitutional amendment passed in twenty ten, sixty

79
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: one to thirty nine that says only an independent outside

80
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: panel does this. So Newsom is trying to rig this.

81
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: This new referendum will go on the ballot.

82
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: It's opposed by almost two to one, but he's putting

83
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: it on the ballot.

84
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: And if it passed, there'd be no independent panel for

85
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: the next three election cycles. It would be basically Gavin

86
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: Newsom and the legislature for twenty twenty six, and then

87
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: whoever else becomes governor in twenty twenty eight. I this

88
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: really is appalling. And I don't give a crap if

89
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: the Republicans in Texas did it, that they should not

90
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: do it. And that's the Texas voters problem. Our problem

91
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: here is we're already extremely overrepresented, but not just Democrats,

92
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: but left wing progressive whap jobs that have destroyed the state.

93
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: And now our entire congressional delegation is going to be

94
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: over ninety percent left wing progressive whack jobs. And we

95
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: voted so this can't happen. We voted this way in

96
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: twenty ten. He ignores it. We'reight railroads right through it.

97
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: You know what else, the way he railroaded through the

98
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 2: death penalty. You remember, we passed three propositions affirming the

99
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: death penalty.

100
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: He canceled it anyway.

101
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: And then the jackass stumbles around muttering about Trump being

102
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: a dictator.

103
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: It's pretty rich, But.

104
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: He's a he's you know, he's a narcissistic psychopath, and

105
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 2: he's a compulsive liar. Says nothing he can do about it.

106
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: That's why his brain is wired. It can't help himself.

107
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: It's a pathological issue in the wiring of his brain.

108
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: He was born this way, and narcissistic psychopaths can do

109
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 2: very well in politics and business because they have no conscience,

110
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: they have no remorse, they have no regret. And he

111
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: just is greasy, oily and shape shifts his way, and

112
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: he wants to be president and he wants to look

113
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: like a fighter. So he has no interest in what

114
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: in who people want to represent them in Congress.

115
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: None. It's who he says should represent you.

116
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: So the narcissistic psychopath is going to get this thing

117
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: on the ballot. Oh and he's going to spend two

118
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars of your tax money, two hundred million

119
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: dollars of your tax money as you rumble along and

120
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: on that busted highway you're driving on right now. And

121
00:07:51,560 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: then there's this, And this is why Newsom doesn't want

122
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: publican or independent congress people being elected. Because the House

123
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: Committee on Oversight, run by Republicans, is now officially investigating

124
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: the high Speed rail project. A bipartisan congressional committee is

125
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: investigating whether the High Speed Rail Authority knowingly misrepresented ridership projections,

126
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: knowingly misrepresented financial outlooks to secure federal funding. And the

127
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: letter sent to the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy the House

128
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: Committee on Oversight the chairman, James Comer from Kentucky, requested

129
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: as staff briefing and all communications and records about federal

130
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: funding for the high speed rail project and any analysis

131
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: over the train's viability.

132
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: James Comber wrote.

133
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 2: The authority's apparent repeated use of misleading writership projections despite

134
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: long standing warnings from experts, raises serious questions about whether

135
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 2: funds were allocated under false pretenses.

136
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: Oh, we've been.

137
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: Screaming about that for fifteen years in the private sector.

138
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: This would be fraud and people would go to jail.

139
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: This would be criminal fraud. And who's been running the

140
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: system for the last seven years, narcissistic psychopath Gavin Newsom.

141
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: Comer sent the letter also to the Representative Robert Garcia,

142
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 2: the top Democrat of the committee, who is also skeptical

143
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: about the project and is not commenting. A High Speed

144
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: Reial Authority spokesperson said the investigation is another baseless attempt

145
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: to manufacture controversy. No, you guys are a bunch of

146
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: criminals who stole seventeen billion dollars. As you know, Trump

147
00:09:52,440 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 2: pulled four billion dollars in federal funding and one of

148
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: the final lines in the story, the bullet train was

149
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 2: proposed decades ago as a way to connect Los Angeles

150
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 2: and San Francisco in less than three hours by twenty

151
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 2: twenty for thirty three billion dollars total. That was the

152
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 2: promise that was on the referendum that people voted for.

153
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: It was all a big stinking lie. It's a fraudulent operation.

154
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 2: Billions have been looted, lots of people are getting rich,

155
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: and this House committee is going to investigate it, and

156
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: Newsom knows what's going on and doesn't care. All right,

157
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: when we come back. I mentioned this briefly yesterday, but

158
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: this is really scandalous. Bed Beeth and Beyond is re reforming.

159
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: It's a great housewares chain and they're going to be

160
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: opening up three hundred stores, three hundred stores across the country.

161
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: Zero will be opened in California. And the CEO explained

162
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: publicly yesterday why and got the most asinine, most stupid,

163
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: snarky response from the junior psychopaths who work in Governor

164
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: Newsom's press office. And we'll go through that Royal Oakson

165
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: after three point thirty about Trump having his five hundred

166
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: million dollars civil fraud penalty thrown out. And we're also

167
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: going to have the final round of the moistline from

168
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: last week that was preempted by Trump and putin all

169
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 2: that ahead.

170
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: It's exciting, isn't it.

171
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

172
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: six forty.

173
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 2: We are on every day from one until four o'clock,

174
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: and if you want to follow us on social media,

175
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 2: it's at John Coblt Radio at John Coblt Radio. Trying

176
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: to get to thirty five thousand dollars, thirty five thousand followers.

177
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: That's the next I'll take thirty five thousand dollars.

178
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: Eric will get a prize of thirty five thousand dollars

179
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 2: if we get there.

180
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: Oh, there we go. I don't know who's going to

181
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: pay it.

182
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: But I pitched this briefly yesterday and this has really

183
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: turned into quite a battle. Marcus Lamonis he is executive

184
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 2: chairman of Beyond Incorporated. They owned bed, Bath and Beyond,

185
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: which I mentioned this yesterday was just the premiere houseware

186
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: store where you could buy just about everything you need

187
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: for a home. My wife absolutely adored it. She's been

188
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: in Mourning for years because the whole chain closed down,

189
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: everything went bankrupt. Used to be in all the shopping

190
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: centers and all the strip more strip malls. It's home goods.

191
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: They used to have eighty stores in California. Eighty went

192
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: out of business, became an online sub subcompany of overstock

193
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 2: dot Com. Well now it's coming back. And the executive chairman,

194
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 2: Marcus Lamonas announced yesterday that they're going to open three

195
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: hundred stores around the country.

196
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: How many in California. Zero?

197
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: Three hundred stores across America. We've got twelve percent of

198
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: the population. Zero used to have eighty. Why would this

199
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: be well, Lamonas said yesterday, California has created one of

200
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 2: the most overregulated, expensive and risky environments for businesses. It's

201
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 2: a system that makes it harder to employ people, harder

202
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: to keep doors open, harder to deliver value to customers.

203
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: And as you know, the owner of In and Out,

204
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: Lindsay Snyder NAXT, announced that she's leaving California, but the

205
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 2: corporate headquarters is going to remain here. But Chevron, Tesla,

206
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: SpaceX and Charles Schwab moved their headquarters. In fact, I

207
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 2: have a chart in front of me which the Los

208
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 2: Angeles Times published. For the last ten years, more businesses

209
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: have left California than moved in every year. In twenty

210
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: twenty three, over five hundred companies.

211
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: Left the state.

212
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: Five hundred more companies left the state then moved in.

213
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty two, almost seven hundred and fifty more

214
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: companies left the state than moving in. In twenty twenty one,

215
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: it was almost five hundred companies more. And it's been

216
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: a loss of companies every year going back to twenty fifteen.

217
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: And of course the junior socio no way, what is it,

218
00:14:54,600 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: the junior narcissistic No, I upgraded it the narcissistics psychopaths

219
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: who work in Gavenusen's press office.

220
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: And I'm sure with his approval. So they wrote, after their.

221
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: Bankruptcy enclosure of every store, like most Americans, we thought

222
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: bed Beth and Beyond no longer existed. We wish them

223
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: well and their efforts to become relevant again. We wish

224
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: them well as they try to open their second store. Well,

225
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: they're going to open three hundred of them, three hundred

226
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: of them, none.

227
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: Of them here.

228
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: And Marcus Lamonis, the CEO, went on television and said,

229
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: we want to be in markets where we can actually

230
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: make a profit.

231
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: We don't want to wake up every morning wondering.

232
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: If we're going to be sued by some class action

233
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: lawsuit or overregulated by a local government. I'd love to

234
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: see Gavin Newsom out of office. He says, the state

235
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: has policies and he's responsible for policies that make it

236
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 2: unlivable for companies and residents. Now, why wouldn't Governor news

237
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: Them meet with Marcus Lamonas and say what can we do.

238
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: To get you back in California?

239
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: What can because it'll be millions of dollars in sales,

240
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: there be a lot of tax money there, There's be

241
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: a lot of property tax revenue for the local towns

242
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 2: and counties.

243
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: There'll be jobs. If we had twelve.

244
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: Percent of those three hundred stores, that's about thirty five stores.

245
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: That's thousands of jobs. And they pay income tax too.

246
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: So if there's a major company it's come out of

247
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: bankruptcy and is going to open three hundred outlets, you're

248
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 2: in the largest state in the Union with allegedly the

249
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 2: fourth largest economy in the world.

250
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: Would you be coming over.

251
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: The guy's house and saying, well, how can we make

252
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 2: it easier for you? Instead, we thought they no longer existed.

253
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 2: We wish them well in their efforts to become relevant. Again,

254
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 2: that is obnoxious, stupid. You're supposed to be creating a

255
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: climate so people can work, so businesses can thrive, so

256
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: people can make money, and so residents can buy the

257
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: things that they want. You drive them out of business,

258
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: and then you brag about it.

259
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: Off.

260
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 2: They reopened their first door in Nashville earlier this month.

261
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 2: Did the governor of Tennessee say something like that, I

262
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: don't think so. He's busy work, gone redistricting so that

263
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 2: in over ninety percent of the districts people can only

264
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: have a Democratic congressman representing them.

265
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: That's what he's doing.

266
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: People in California will have to go online to buy

267
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 2: a bed beeth and beyond. We might be the only

268
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: one out of the fifty states we come back. Worrel

269
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 2: Oaks on Donald Trump getting his five hundred million dollars

270
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: civil suit penalty thrown out.

271
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM

272
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 3: six forty.

273
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: We are on from one until four after four o'clock.

274
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 2: Whatever you missed and if you're just joining us, you

275
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: missed a lot today. You should go the iHeartRadio app.

276
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: John Cobelt Show on to maned the podcast and listen

277
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 2: to everything.

278
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: It was a jam packed day.

279
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: And next up we're going to talk with well Oaks,

280
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 2: ABC News legal analyst. Because Donald Trump got his five

281
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 2: hundred million dollar civil fraud judgment thrown out of court today.

282
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: This was the case.

283
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: Over whether he had inflated the value of his buildings

284
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: and his net worth in order to get to more

285
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: favorable loans, and a judge in New York had said

286
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 2: he did, and the damages totally up to five hundred

287
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 2: million dollars with interest, and now this appeals court says, well,

288
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 2: you don't have to pay anything.

289
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: Let's talk with Royle. How are you.

290
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 4: I'm doing great, John.

291
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

292
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 4: It was good news for Donald Trump in the sense

293
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 4: that a huge chunk of the award was tossed out.

294
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 4: And you'll recall this was the deal a year or

295
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 4: two ago where the New York Attorney General said, hey,

296
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 4: Donald Trump lied, You lied to the tax folks. They said,

297
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 4: how much are you robbery's worth? Oh, they're not worth much.

298
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 4: Then he goes to get a loan from the bank.

299
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 4: How much are they worth? Oh, there worth worth much more.

300
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 4: So it was a fraud determination, but the appeals court

301
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 4: to them. By the way, all the judges in the

302
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 4: pell At court, they were appointed by Democrat governors. But

303
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 4: they said, you know, the vast majority of this gets

304
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 4: tossed out. And as a result, he still has this

305
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 4: fraud civil fraud on his record, and there are restrictions

306
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 4: about his ability and his son's ability to do business

307
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 4: in New York. But they're going to appeal that, just

308
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 4: like Letitia James, the ag and attorney in New York

309
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 4: will appeal it. So no final decision, but definitely good

310
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 4: news for Donald Trump.

311
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: We talked about this at the time.

312
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: I thought this was such a strange case because they

313
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: say he inflated the worth of his buildings.

314
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: I always thought when.

315
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 2: A bank is issuing you a loan or a mortgage

316
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 2: and you're putting up the buildings right as collateral.

317
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: They're going to do an appraisal.

318
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 4: Right.

319
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 2: Every time I got a mortgage refinanced, guy came to

320
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 2: the house and.

321
00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: Did an appraisal.

322
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: And the bank never claimed that they were victims of

323
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: any kind of fraud. And nobody ever testified to being

324
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: a victim of a fraud, no person, no corporate entity.

325
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 2: And I mean, you talk about a victimless crime. I

326
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 2: know this was a civil case, but I just really

327
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: this whole thing seem invented.

328
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: You're writing, you're talking exactly the way the appellate panel

329
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 4: in New York was speaking. They zeroed in on the

330
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 4: fact that this gigantic, multi hundred million dollar penalty was

331
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 4: really unjustified, because even if you conclude that he did

332
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 4: commit fraud, and they agreed he did do a wrong thing,

333
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 4: they said, this is just way out of line. But

334
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 4: as I say, you know, it's going to be appealed

335
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 4: on both sides. And you know, even if it's upheld

336
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 4: that Donald Trump and his sons can't run businesses directly,

337
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 4: I mean, let's face that. The reality is they could

338
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 4: have their friends and their surrogates be on the board

339
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 4: of directors and the president chairman and so on, and

340
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 4: they would probably be doing the bidding of the Trump family.

341
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 4: So it probably wouldn't be a big deal if they

342
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 4: couldn't technically be running these New York businesses. But again,

343
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 4: you know that could get turned around when you go

344
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 4: to the highest appellate court in New York, and that

345
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 4: hasn't happened yet.

346
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: Right, So.

347
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: Obviously the penalty could be reinstated. But that you don't

348
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 2: think that seems likely from the way you're talking.

349
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 4: No, I think it's I think it's unlikely. And as

350
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 4: I say, you know the fact that the judges who

351
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 4: voted for drunk Pier were appointed by Democrat governors in

352
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 4: New York by and large, it suggests that he's going

353
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 4: to be fined at the next repellate level as well.

354
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 4: You know, it's kind of sad, John that whether it's

355
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 4: a Democrat or a Republican situation, you can almost always

356
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 4: predict how judges or justices are going to rule in big,

357
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 4: high profile cases with political implications. I mean, we've all

358
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 4: played this game where something was in front of the

359
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 4: Supreme Court and the first thing you do is you

360
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 4: start counting heads. Let's say three liberals, a point of

361
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 4: a Democrats, three conservatives, a point of our republicans three

362
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 4: also a point of our Republicans, but yeah, they kind

363
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 4: of vote with the liberals. Like, yeah, you can total

364
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 4: it up and you have a pretty good batting average

365
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 4: guessing how they're going to rule. Which you said, because

366
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 4: you know lives are in the balance justice, you know, life, death, bankruptcy.

367
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 4: He shouldn't be based on trying to please the politician

368
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 4: that appointed you. Maybe we could change the system, but

369
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 4: that's the way it is at the federal level. You

370
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 4: think you got, the Senate has to approve Hi when

371
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 4: the President gets to appoint him.

372
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,479
Speaker 2: You've been in the legal business far more than I'm

373
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 2: being paid attention to these kind of nuances. It didn't

374
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 2: used to be like this, did it, And judges were

375
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 2: considered more neutral, more moderate, actually reading the law, the

376
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: facts of the case, and that it wasn't politicized to

377
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 2: this extent.

378
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 4: You're absolutely right, And I think the turning point was

379
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 4: in the eighties. You remember Robert Bork was a very

380
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 4: conservative guy, a professorial guy with a funny looking beard,

381
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 4: very conservative, and he was nominated and Ted Kennedy and

382
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 4: Joe Biden and some other senators just blasted him, and

383
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 4: they basically won. They prevented him from going on the court,

384
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 4: and it sort of triggered a very political means spirited

385
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 4: by amen. Of course, in the nineties, Clarence Thomas comes along,

386
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 4: very conservative guy, and up comes Anita Hill and she

387
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 4: claims he was victim guilty of sexual harassment, and it's

388
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 4: sort of turbo charged the politicization of the judiciary, as

389
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 4: you suggest, it's really sad, but I mean that's the

390
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 4: way it's been ever since. It's you know, as you've seen,

391
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 4: we've have a lot of close votes and it basically

392
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 4: boils down to the Democrats vote for the justice appointed

393
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 4: by the Democrats president and the same thing for the Republicans.

394
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: And people have lost a lot of trust and respect

395
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 2: over the years from all sides because it's just an

396
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 2: extension of all the irritating political games that we have

397
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 2: to live with.

398
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if you read the public Opinion Service, whether

399
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 4: it's Galliper, Harris or whatever. A few decades ago, people

400
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 4: who loved the judiciary, they may not like their politicians,

401
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 4: but they trust the folks in the black robes. Now

402
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 4: the numbers are way down, and you know, it's just

403
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 4: a result of the fact that people have picked up

404
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 4: on the idea there's just too much mixture of law

405
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 4: and politics. You know. I think there should be like

406
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 4: a Blue Ribbon commission consisting of exactly you know, the

407
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 4: same number on the left and the right, and you

408
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 4: send these guys or gals into a room and they

409
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 4: come up with really qualified people that both those on

410
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 4: the left and right life and send those names to

411
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 4: the president and the president they picked from them. That

412
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 4: would kind of cut down on it. But good luck.

413
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 4: You know, that's not in the constitution. The Constitution says

414
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 4: those are the points Senate confirms. So I don't think

415
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 4: they're going to reform it like that. But it's a

416
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 4: real shame because they really should be above politics.

417
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 2: You know, the original judge in the case, Arthur anger On,

418
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: he presided over the trial.

419
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: There was no jury.

420
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 2: This was Angron's decision to find Trump liable for fraud.

421
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: And Angron's decision that the original verdict would be three

422
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty plus million dollars plus intro. Now it's

423
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 2: over five hundred million. But I was I always marveled

424
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: that one guy could decide he tried to bankrupt Trump,

425
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: and it was hard not to think there was some

426
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 2: very strong personal animosity involved.

427
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, there were a lot of factors that allowed you

428
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 4: to infer that. And as you say, there's a little

429
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 4: quirk of the law. Usually you're entitled to a jury trial.

430
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 4: The Constitution says you get a jury, but not always

431
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 4: if it's a specialized thing called equitable proceedings and injunction

432
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 4: stuff like that, you don't always get to jury. This

433
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 4: is one of the cases that fell through the cracks

434
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 4: and nobody was entitled to you. Now, who knows, maybe

435
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 4: the jury would have been even bit harder on Trump

436
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 4: than Judge anger On, because you know, folks in New

437
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 4: York aren't big fans of Donald Trump. Donald Trump I

438
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 4: think lost ninety two to eight against Biden. But yeah, yeah,

439
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 4: once in a while, it's all up to the judge's decision,

440
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 4: and that's what happened here.

441
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 2: All right, Well, Oaks, ABC News Legal Analyst, thank you

442
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 2: again for coming on. You bet, thanks, We will have

443
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 2: Oh you're getting a bonus today. It's Thursday. Maybe you

444
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: don't get to listen ordinarily on Friday. You always miss

445
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: the moistline. Well, we have a special edition here. It

446
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: leftover from last Friday when Trump and Putin walked out

447
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 2: to announce that they were not going to end the world.

448
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 2: At that moment, it preempted our moistlines. So we thought

449
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: we'd play it today just to honor all the people

450
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: who called, in honor Eric for putting it together.

451
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: That's coming up next.

452
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI AM

453
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 3: six forty.

454
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 2: Our leftover moistline coming up in minute. Yeah, I know

455
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 2: it's Thursday. One more story. It's very important. We told

456
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 2: you a couple of weeks ago about the radioactive wasps

457
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: in I believe it was North Carolina. It looks like

458
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 2: some type of nuclear waste leaked and it got into

459
00:27:54,880 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 2: wasp nests and when they tested the nest, they found

460
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: significant radioactivity. And presumably the wasps that lived in the

461
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 2: nests are now buzzing around, and I guess theoretically they

462
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 2: could sting you and inject you with radiation. Well here's

463
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: a new warning. Radioactive frozen raw shrimp. They're selling these

464
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: in Walmart stores. Yeah, contamination with caesium one thirty seven,

465
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 2: which is a radioactive isotope. It was found in a

466
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: single shipment of imported frozen ship from an Indonesian company

467
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 2: and they have found they have found the isotope at

468
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: ports in Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, and Savannah.

469
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: That's great.

470
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: There was radioactive frozen shimp shrimp passing through LA. They

471
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: don't think it's an acute hazard, but you know, if

472
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 2: you ate radioactive shrimp every day, you'd probably get cancer.

473
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: The company the name is BMS Foods it's an Indonesia

474
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 2: based company. Yeah, I don't know raw frozen shrimp from Indonesia?

475
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: Did they really need a test to figure out that

476
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: Walmart had radioactive shrimp? Who is buying raw frozen shrimp

477
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: at Walmart? It's branded great value shrimp. That says it all.

478
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: Who would do that? All right, let's go to the

479
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 2: moistline from last week. We never got to play it.

482
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: People have that enough.

483
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 3: I can't stand that.

484
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 5: That's what's wrong with you, California. Why do you keep complaining, whining,

485
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 5: and when you keep voting for people like Governor brill

486
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 5: Cream and Mayor Bet you vote for what you get

487
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 5: and then you move to another state like College.

488
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 4: Where are all the criminal charges against Karen Dass, Jennie Ken, you,

489
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 4: and Kristin Crowley. They should be indicted for gross negligence

490
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 4: or negligent homicides. They've got to go to jails.

491
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 6: Do you realize with one hundred percent of California being

492
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 6: run by Democrats that means California failure is one hundred

493
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 6: percent Democrats.

494
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 5: Fall so happy to see ICE agents at Newsman's press conference.

495
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 4: The only thing I wish would have happened is they

496
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 4: would have taken him away too.

497
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 6: Devin, stop trying out Trump Trump, You sound like even

498
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 6: a bigger idiot.

499
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 4: Happis were not good seven of the steps there and

500
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 4: tax theremnos out of office. I can't stand and listen

501
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 4: to that most voice. Kevin news In is such a

502
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 4: line stunbag East California harder than his best friend's white.

503
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 4: If we rely on the rich people paying our taxes

504
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 4: here in California, why.

505
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 5: They wouldn't be taking good.

506
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 6: Care of the people that lost their homes in the

507
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 6: Palace state.

508
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: They're all going to move out, and who's going to

509
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 2: pay taxes?

510
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 4: I wouldn't underestimate the importance of that that I would

511
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 4: throwing me into IP agent may experience PTSD folks throwing

512
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 4: the sandwich disorder.

513
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 6: Just thinks how much better LA on the state of

514
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 6: California would be if these politicians would spend this much

515
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 6: time trying to get rid of criminals and get them

516
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 6: off the street instead of screaming about ICE taking other

517
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 6: criminals off the street.

518
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: Did you hear Karen bass Over exaggerating, Oh what are

519
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 2: they doing here?

520
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 4: This is not a coincidence? Where Why are I thinks

521
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 4: in Pierre Claro?

522
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 5: You know what?

523
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 7: Me?

524
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: Or Bass?

525
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 4: People in the places they need your help too. People

526
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 4: up in the eating fire area, they need your help.

527
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 4: Why don't you show and demonstrate that type of emotion

528
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 4: for them too. News in Bass should be arrested for

529
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 4: harboring fugitives. That's what legal owners are. They broke the

530
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 4: all for coming here. The only time Karen baskets outraged

531
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 4: is when somebody is arrested because they're breaking the law.

532
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 6: So the governor says crime.

533
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 2: Rates are going down, But when they have riots, and

534
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: with those riots there's robberies, there's people getting hurt.

535
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 4: Is that in statistics?

536
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 6: I bet you it's nuts making Los Angeles safer by

537
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 6: kidnapping one strawberry.

538
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 4: Man at a time. What hypocrisy lift handed Gavin Newsom,

539
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 4: Karen Bass, Adam SiZ Alex Padia.

540
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: What a bunch of morons.

541
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, it's really hard living in California right now,

542
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 6: specifically southern California, La County.

543
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: Now, the Democrats don't like masks, huh.

544
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: When they're taking away drug dealers.

545
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 4: They don't like them.

546
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: Wearing masks.

547
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 4: There are two types of people that think Gavin Newsom

548
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 4: is a great governor and would make a great president

549
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 4: people on his payroll, and absolute knitwiz.

550
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 2: I'd gladly pay ten dollars a gallon for gas if

551
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 2: it'll get these idiots to vote out all the paddle

552
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 2: Head Dems.

553
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 4: Well, thank you for leaving your message.

554
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 5: Please hang up, goodbye.

555
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 2: Rough crowd, Rough crowd, I'm glad we played that. That's

556
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 2: a rough room that was that was left over from

557
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: last week. All right, that's a lot of a lot

558
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 2: of access to grind, a lot of hostility out there.

559
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 2: All right, that's the moist line, Mark Thompson, Yeah, in

560
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 2: for Conway.

561
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 7: That's right, I've got my own moist line at last

562
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 7: three hours. Starting in just a couple of minutes, we'll

563
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 7: get to uh kind of a cavalcade of guests today.

564
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 7: Remember they used to say that a cavalcade of stars.

565
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: I was an old these right, Yeah, exactly.

566
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 7: It was like a variety show thing in cavalcade is

567
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 7: that's like a it's a reference to I think horses, right,

568
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 7: or to like a I don't know what it is.

569
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 7: I think that from the cavalry, I think it's some

570
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 7: like that kind of Yeah. Anyway, we have a cavalcade

571
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 7: of guests today. I've got a doctor in the mixed

572
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 7: doctor Michael Daniel, Alex Michaelson is going to be through.

573
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 7: We'll talk about the redistricting in California now that Texas

574
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,719
Speaker 7: has redistricted there, and Dean Sharp's gonna come through. It's

575
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 7: a pretty big show. That active shooter situation in Villanova

576
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 7: turns out it was a hoax. This is this is

577
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 7: the undoing of everything. What can I say to you, John,

578
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 7: I'm just happy to be on the air to see it. Well,

579
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 7: we get to preside over it. Yes, exactly, the undoing

580
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 7: of everything. I was sorry that yesterday when we visited

581
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 7: apparently it was a National radio day. Yeah, and we

582
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 7: didn't really reminisce, not that we'll do it now, but

583
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 7: I'm just saying one of the things that bonds us

584
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 7: is the love of great radio personalities.

585
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: And that especially on the East Coast.

586
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, because we grew up sort of with going up

587
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 7: to the same guys. Yea, And anyway, it's really it's

588
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 7: fun once in a while when somebody has like a

589
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 7: national radio day and you can go Yeah, those guys

590
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 7: who really shape, you know, part of who we are.

591
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we were probably both the little kids.

592
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 2: Yeahs listening to transistor radios exactly.
