1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,880 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 2: I am six forty. 3 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 3: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 3: We spent much of the first hour on Gavin Newsom 5 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 3: embarrassing himself royally. We may go back to that later 6 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 3: because I just want to hear those clips again. Newsom, 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 3: for some reason has abandoned the state of California to 8 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 3: try to convince European leaders that he has his own 9 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 3: country and deserves a seat at this World Economic Forum 10 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 3: as an equal. And he's used it to insult all 11 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 3: the European leaders and tell off Trump one more time 12 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 3: and try to undermine Trump's foreign policy. It's fascinating. He's 13 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 3: just really baffling what he's doing. We'll talk more about 14 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 3: that later, but first we got Royal Oaks from ABC News. 15 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 3: Because there seems to be no end to legal issues 16 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 3: involving major politicians these days, we'll put Trump in the 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 3: new Sumerside. The House Overside Committee today was going to 18 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 3: have a contempt hearing of Bill and Hillary Clinton. There's 19 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: two old favorites. They're back in the news. Why legal issues, 20 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: of course, and it's related to the Epstein case and 21 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 3: they have subpoenaed them and Bill and Hillary refuse to 22 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 3: come and tell what they know. So let's get Royal 23 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 3: oaksan royal. 24 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: How are you, hey, John, I'm doing great. Thanks. You 25 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: know the weird part about this story, John, You know, 26 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: we're still used to partisanship Democrats, so one way you 27 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: appear to the other. Even the Democrats, all of them 28 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: on this House Overside Committee, supported the subpoenas when they 29 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: were issued months ago, which is kind of weird, but 30 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: they did. I think probably the idea was, well, we 31 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: don't want it to look like we're just going after Trump, 32 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: We're going to go after Clinton too. You know, Bill's 33 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: probably fine the subpoenas go out, and Bill and Hillary 34 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: is you know, the last week or so say no, 35 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: we've already provided something in writing. We don't have to 36 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: show up and be deposed. And so now this committee 37 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: today has just voted to find them in contempt of Congress. 38 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: Now the next step, John, is it goes to the 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: full House of Representatives, and all you need is a majority, 40 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: and if a majority go along and say that the 41 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: Clintons are in contempt of Congress, that it's not criminal, 42 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: but it looks bad on the resume, and they can 43 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: have to pay all sorts of fines and then be 44 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: forced to show up. And then the next step could 45 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: be criminal contempt if the Department of Justice wants to 46 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: get in and based on what the Trump DOJ has 47 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: been doing, it wouldn't be a shocked if they said, well, share, 48 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: if Congress wants us to put the Clintons in prison, 49 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: let's do it. 50 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: So there's two levels of contempt because we have seen 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 3: people go to jail at least for short periods of time, 52 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 3: for refusing to testify, for refusing a subpoena. 53 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: Exactly right. And you know this involve celebrity justice. I 54 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: mean a dual system. You know that, Peter Navarro and 55 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of other folks. Yeah, they've done some time, 56 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: and the idea is and even some Democrats are behind this. Now, 57 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: the Clintons were subpoena and ordered by law to show 58 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: up and answer questions. And their position is, you know, 59 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: we already told you everything we knew in a writing, 60 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: and you don't always subpoena if people have to give writings, 61 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: you're only doing it to us because you don't like us. 62 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: But they're not in a position to make that call. 63 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: They really are supposed to show up, and as weird 64 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: as it sounds, you could get a bunch of Democrats supporting, 65 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: as you say, this second level of contempt. Now, you know, 66 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: are Bill and Hillary really going to end up sharing 67 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: a sale and so on? It's pretty unlikely. I imagine 68 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: they just want to negotiate, you know, try to get 69 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: the ground rules. But I mean, they're not looking very 70 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: good because even folks who are in their own party 71 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: are starting to slam them. 72 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 73 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: So does he have any special protection because he was president, 74 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 3: have any kind of community where he can't be forced 75 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 3: to testify? 76 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: No, he doesn't. Remember that big US Supreme Court decision 77 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: about immunity a year two ago, and what they said was, look, 78 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: if you are president, and if you're doing your core 79 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: constitutional duties like appointing ambassadors and you know, urging the 80 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: Congress to declare war, you cannot be prosecuted. You have 81 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: total immunity. But I think it would be a tough 82 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: sell for Bill Clinton to say, you know what, my 83 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: dealings with Jeffrey Epstein during the eight years I was president, 84 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: They're part of my core constitutional duties. So I gotten 85 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: that hot tub. Yeah, you're not going to be able 86 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: to sell that right. So no, he doesn't have a community. 87 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: You know, executive privilege applies if you get your senior advisors. 88 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: I don't think he'll say Jeffrey Epstein was like my 89 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: secretary of State. So no, I don't think he has 90 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: any special protection. It's really just they're the Clintons, and 91 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: on the one hand, a lot of folks love to 92 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: go after them. On the other hand, because they're so 93 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: high profile. You know, a lot of people are saying, hey, Palette, 94 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: you're not above the law. You know, you were in 95 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: support of Donald Trump being hauled into criminal court four 96 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: times in a year, saying nobody's above the law, how 97 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: about you. 98 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: So I'm looking at the latest news story that came 99 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 3: over thirty eight minutes ago, and this is a BBC story, 100 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 3: and it looks like they got all Republican votes to 101 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 3: hold them in contempt and nine Democrat votes to hold 102 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 3: Bill Clinton in contempt. Three Democratic votes to hold Hillary 103 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 3: in contempt. 104 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't see that too often exactly right now. 105 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: That is a drop off because, as I mentioned, every 106 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: single Democrat was okay with issuing the Subpoenas we're talking 107 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: about the Democrats on the House overside Committee months and ago. 108 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: Now that it's a little more contentious and we're talking, 109 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: oh the below, Clinton's are going to be found in 110 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: congressional contempt. A few of the Democrats, as you just 111 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: quoted there, are saying, you know, not so fast, let's 112 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: go sotiate with Bill and Hillary. But the fact that 113 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: several as to both Bill and Hillary, several Democrats are 114 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: on board with this, it's just not a good sign 115 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: for them. My guess is that they're going to bite 116 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: the bullet. They're going to say, Okay, we didn't want 117 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: to do this. It doesn't look good. You know, the 118 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: optics are bad. But each of us will show up 119 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill and the representative Comber will snarl at 120 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: us and ask unpleasant questions, and we'll tell the truth 121 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: and we'll do this because you know, that's got to 122 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: be a better alternative than contempt. 123 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 3: Do they have to do it in front of the 124 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 3: cameras or can they negotiate behind closed doors? 125 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: And they can ask for it, and you know somebody 126 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: will do it behind closed doors, but they don't have 127 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: a rite. No. I mean, if something's very sensitive, for example, 128 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: if it would affect ongoing investigation, you know Epstein's dead, 129 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: Maxwell's and you know club fed, but there are co 130 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: conspirators we still want to go after, and we'll get 131 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: these thousands of pages rolling out of the of the 132 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: system they could ask for and get behind closed door. 133 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: But let's face it, you know, Representative Comber is a 134 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: pretty hard charging guy. I think part of it is 135 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: he wants the world to see Bill and Hillary kind 136 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: of squirming under the hot lights, and it probably wouldn't 137 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: be the reason to put it behind closed doors. So yeah, 138 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: I think the cameras are going to roll and we're 139 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: going to get to see him. 140 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 2: Now. 141 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 3: One of the other big stories, and this is not 142 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 3: something necessarily people are following closely day to day, but 143 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 3: the Federal Reserve, among other things, sets interest rates and 144 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: that has a big effect on people's economic situation. 145 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: We've seen over the years. 146 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 3: And Trump wants everybody to vote for low interest rates 147 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 3: on the Federal Reserve board, and some of them are reluctant, 148 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 3: and he's going after them. And he tried to fire 149 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 3: Lisa Cook, the Federal Reserve governor, claim some kind of 150 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 3: real estate issue, but really it's that they're just not 151 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 3: obeying his commands. The Supreme Court heard this case today. 152 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 3: Can the president fire federal Reserve governors? They're supposed to 153 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 3: be independent? So we've had this standoff. How did the 154 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 3: Supreme Court react to these arguments? 155 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 2: Today? 156 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: Looks like the Supreme Court is going to rule against Trump. 157 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: I mean, for people on the left who've been freaking 158 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: out about Supreme Court for a long time, they need 159 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: to acknowledge that on a bunch of decisions, Yeah, it's 160 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: six three or five four conservative in a lot of cases. 161 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: But a lot of cases the Court has slammed Trump. 162 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: And here's why he's going to get slammed. Probably now, 163 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: if you read the tea leagues based on what all 164 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: the justices said this morning in Washington, DC, Chief Justice 165 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: Roberts and a few of the other conservatives seemed very 166 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: concerned that Trump shouldn't be able to, you know, shatter 167 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: the Fed's independence by making these Board of governors folks 168 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: basically at will employees, We may fire you at any time, 169 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: so you know, who knows for sure, but probably by 170 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 1: June thirty, for sure we're going to go off on 171 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: their summer vacation.

Did she really commit mortgage fraud? If 176 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: she did, she's off. But if she didn't, she gets 177 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: to keep her job.

Now, this is the only thing 341 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 3: that gets shift Pa or Karen Bass off their rumps 342 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 3: is when they think illegal aliens are being wronged. 343 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: Uh. 344 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 3: The last time Padia got off his big rear end wash, 345 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 3: he ended up getting tackled by security at a Christy 346 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 3: Nome press conference during the Ice riots in June. Let's 347 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 3: play maybe my favorite moment of the year last year. 348 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: Hands up, I'm center X. 349 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 3: I have questions for the secretary because the fact of 350 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 3: the matter is. 351 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 2: A dozen fling criminals that you're hitting on. 352 00:20:41,480 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 5: Your security escorts him out behind that all right, cool cuffs, other. 353 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 3: Hands, other hand, there you go, locked up. That said 354 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 3: for Alex Padia, Now look what he did. He publicly 355 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 3: embarrassed himself, got handcuffed by security, pulling a stupid stunt 356 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 3: because he easily could have met with Christy Noan privately, 357 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 3: but he did this big show in front of the reporters. 358 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 3: Like yesterday, this was a big show in front of 359 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 3: reporters going to this California City detention center to say 360 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: that these illegal aliens are not getting the proper treatment. 361 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 3: But since April, uh chech Ept can't find anything Padilla. 362 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 3: No appearances from Padia about the fire, nothing since April. 363 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 3: But if he thinks the legal aliens are getting unfair treatment, 364 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 3: boys he there. He doesn't mind getting thrown to the 365 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 3: ground by security storming into Christy Nome's press conference. He 366 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 3: doesn't mind going all the way to Cathedral City, or 367 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 3: rather California City. And Schiff said, and of course there 368 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 3: were reporters following them. Most frequent feedback we got was 369 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 3: the inadequacy of the medical caret they're not receiving. Fourteen 370 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 3: hundred people are held. This is a run by a 371 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 3: for profit private prison company called Coarse Civic. It's in 372 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 3: the middle of the Mojave Desert and it holds twenty 373 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 3: five hundred people. It only has about fifteen fourteen hundred 374 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 3: now and Padilla was complaining, they're going to have to 375 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 3: do something very different if they're going to meet the 376 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 3: medical needs of the people here. Now, again, these are 377 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 3: people who broke the law, and if they're in a 378 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 3: detention center, these are people likely who have criminal records 379 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 3: of one sort or another. But Shift says, this is 380 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 3: a necessary part of our oversight, and Padilla said on 381 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 3: the anniversary of this Trump administration. There's a couple of things. 382 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 3: His term is defined by the cruelty and over aggressiveness 383 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 3: of the mass deportation agenda. So they have all the 384 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 3: time in the world, and there's plenty of reporters to 385 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 3: cover it. What they've done for the Palisades, nothing And 386 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 3: I've looked for news stories. SHIFT apparently showed up once. 387 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 3: It's in a news story from November one, and you 388 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 3: know they visited. But don't you think that at this 389 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 3: point the insurance issues should be over with? I mean 390 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 3: early on apparently SHIFT did say that, you know, the 391 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 3: insurance companies need to respond. They say these things, they 392 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 3: put them in a press release, but the insurance companies 393 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 3: still don't respond. Like that couple in their eighties who 394 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 3: can't get their possession covered because the possessions are all 395 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 3: gone and the insurance company State Farm in this case 396 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 3: doesn't want to hear about it. 397 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:15,239 Speaker 1: Uh. 398 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 3: Same thing with with with Bass Newsome, everybody in the legislature, 399 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 3: Ricardo Lara. They show up once for the cameras and 400 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 3: then another year goes by and nobody's seen them, nobody's 401 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 3: heard from them. Was there a bigger disaster in the 402 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 3: city of Los Angeles than this in history since the 403 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 3: city was founded. I'm not aware of it. This was 404 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 3: the all time number one biggest disaster ever and we 405 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 3: haven't We've seen shift once in in the last year 406 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 3: and uh. 407 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: Looks like Padilla once. That's it. 408 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 3: Illegal aliens get in trouble. Dea is willing to be 409 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 3: thrown to the ground at handcuffed. More coming up. 410 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI. 411 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 3: After three, we're gonna have Dick Lucas on. Dick Lucas 412 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 3: is running for Assembly fifty first district covers Santa Monica 413 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 3: and the surrounding La area that borders Santa Monica. And 414 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 3: we played some of his video the other day, which 415 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 3: has gotten attention all over the place. New York posted 416 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 3: a story on it. His video is him on his 417 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 3: morning run and he counts eighty three eighty three homeless 418 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 3: people while Newsom is prancing and gallivanting in Switzerland drinking 419 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 3: fine cognac. There's a guy in Santa Monica who can't 420 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 3: go out for a job without tripping over eighty three bodies. Well, 421 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 3: we're going to talk with Dick Lucas after three o'clock 422 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 3: about that jog and about his run for the Assembly. 423 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 3: We have to get normal people back in government real badly. 424 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 3: Yesterday this time we talked to you about Timothy Busfield. He's 425 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 3: the actor. His latest show was called The Cleaning Lady 426 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 3: on Fox for four seasons, and he was accused of 427 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 3: sexually abusing two child actors brothers. His wife is Melissa Gilbert, 428 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 3: who years ago, when she was a child, starred in 429 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 3: Little House on the Prairie and since then it has 430 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 3: done many other things. And he got arrested on child 431 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 3: sex abuse charges and he was being held into New 432 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 3: Mexico jail. Yesterday was a hearing to see if they'd 433 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 3: let him out. And the story is, according to Busfield, 434 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 3: is he never touched the kids. They said, you know, 435 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 3: he touched the boy's private areas multiple times. Busfield said 436 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 3: that he didn't. That this is crazy parents. They knew 437 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 3: the kids who were going to be written out of 438 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 3: the show for the last season, and they sought revenge 439 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 3: for not bringing the kids back to the television show. 440 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 3: And the boys originally when the police interviewed them, denied 441 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 3: that he denied that they were touched by Busfield. Now 442 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 3: Busfield did get his did get released from jail. The 443 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 3: judge said he could go home. He didn't think he 444 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 3: was a threat. And what jumped out at me is 445 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 3: Busfield's defense attorney, Amber Amber Fairberg, said that these parents 446 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 3: have had their own legal troubles. The father, Ronald Rhodis, 447 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 3: pleaded guilty to a federal fraud charge back in twenty seventeen, 448 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 3: and there was a lawsuit in twenty eleven against the 449 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 3: boy's mother, a fraud lawsuit. Her name is Angela Lasal. 450 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 3: What are the odds that the husband and the wife 451 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 3: both were involved in fraudulent legal proceedings and Busfield to say, well, 452 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 3: that's what this is about, because you know they want money. Thireberg, 453 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 3: the attorney, said the boys were victimized by their own parents, 454 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 3: who could no longer make money as a lawyer. They 455 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 3: got somebody or both of them got disparred, they could 456 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 3: write bad checks. They took eighty five percent of the 457 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 3: money that the boys made on a TV show and 458 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 3: then manufactured them into victims as revenge. So see what 459 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 3: comes to this is very difficult to be a person 460 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 3: of any kind of prominence because there are so many 461 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 3: crazy people, fraudsters, manipulators that come out and trying to 462 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 3: get a pc of you, trying to get a piece 463 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 3: of your money. And now with the Internet, everybody can 464 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 3: be smeared around the world in a matter of minutes. 465 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 3: Nothing has to be true. Well, we'll see if Busfield 466 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 3: was the victim of that. 467 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: Or not. 468 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 3: Coming up now after Deborah's news, Dick Lucas running for 469 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 3: California's fifty first district as an independent.
