1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 2: I could probably spend a half hour just pivoting off

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: with Michael Schellenberger was talking about with me last half hour,

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: but we got too much stuff today, so we'll get

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: to it eventually sometime this week, because if you missed it.

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 2: First hour on the podcast posted after four o'clock, John

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: Cobelt's show on demand and Schellenberger was on.

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: Since one thirty. But I want to get right.

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: Did I mention what this is John Cobelt's show, I

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: am six forty.

12
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: We're stimulating talk radio. I did. Yeah.

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: In the next segment, I want to play this Newsom rant.

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: So Eric, you characterize it as he's angry or he's

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: exasperated or impassioned. Impassioned okay, apparently angry angry. Also, yeah,

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: he's fed up, fed up, Okay. I think Newsom is

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: headed towards the nervous breakdown because he realized he cannot

18
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: be elected president with current conditions and cal So we'll

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: play that. We got Laura Engele coming on after one

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: point thirty to talk about that disgusting Didty trial. But

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 2: first enough Michael Monks here he is covering the resentencing

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: of the Menendez brothers yesterday. It happened late in the

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: day and I already talked about earlier in the show

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: how I feel about all this, but I wanted to

25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: leave it to you to explain exactly how the process occurred.

26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: Yesterday it led to the Menendez brothers getting an official

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: re sentencing.

28
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: It was a pretty wild day in Van Nuys.

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 3: You know, we had all braced for what was reported

30
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: to be a couple of days of hearings, and and

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 3: then as the afternoon drug on and it got to

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 3: around five o'clock, we started to see some rapid movement like, oh,

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: this is gonna wrap up today and there's going to

34
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: be a decision. And not only is there going to

35
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: be a decision, the resentencing came all in like one

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: fell swoop very late in the day. I was on

37
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: with Tim Conway and we reported about it as it happened,

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 3: and you came up, of course, because both of you, you,

39
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: you and Tim Conway have said some things about the

40
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: Menindez brothers in the past, and and so now he's

41
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: a little worried about his safety.

42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: Are you worried about your safety.

43
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, they probably have radio.

44
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: No, we're we're we're gonna have to hire security.

45
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 3: Well, we're going to take those gun lessons off just

46
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: in case Eric shows up here. Yeah, they might and

47
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: make it look like a mob hit and you can

48
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: claim that for the next thirty years. But here's the thing.

49
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: They're not getting out right away. And that was a possibility. Yesterday.

50
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 3: Mark Erragos, their attorney, had asked the judge, let's reconsider

51
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 3: this not as a murder conviction, let's resentence resentence them

52
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: on a manslaughter charge. And Hattie decided to do that.

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 3: They could have walked out of that San Diego prison immediately,

54
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: possibly right. But that's not what's going to happen. So

55
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 3: they've got a couple of things. Don't forget. There are

56
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 3: still three paths to freedom here. They've made significant progress

57
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: now on one of them by being re sentenced. They're

58
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: now eligible for parole right away. They already have a

59
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 3: hearing with the parole board coming up next month. That's

60
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: not related to this. That is for the clemency requests

61
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: that they have before Governor Newsom. So this is Governor

62
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 3: Newsom asking for that, and of course their request for

63
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: a new trial is still out there as well, although

64
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 3: now it seems like they've contradicted the new trial requests

65
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 3: because they flat out said, yesterday we killed our parents,

66
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: were sorry about it, and our parents had every right

67
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: to live. And so that was a bit They never

68
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 3: admitted that before that they did the killing. Oh well

69
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: they certainly, you know, were convicted of the killing. Right,

70
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: they were convicted. What they have been trying to.

71
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: Do is to justify the killing. Oh they were victims.

72
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 3: They just flat out said, yeah, we kill It was

73
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: pretty startling to read. Now, wasn't in the courtroom. You

74
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 3: can't be in the courtroom and report. They take all

75
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: of your devices from you. So I didn't see this firsthand.

76
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: Right reporting out of the courtroom where the two brothers

77
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 3: appeared by video finally got the chance to speak after

78
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: both sides made their arguments, that's where they said, yeah,

79
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: we murdered them and they had every right to live. Well,

80
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: then they should be in prison forever. Then well, if

81
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: they had every right to live.

82
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: That that contradicts the idea that they were sexually victimized

83
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: and forced.

84
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: Into killing them.

85
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: That is an interesting analysis because that's kind of how

86
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 3: I felt when I first heard that, that was their

87
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: comment and now took away their right to live. And

88
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: not only are the Menindez brothers possibly getting out of prison,

89
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 3: here's how their attorney, Mark Geragos framed their behavior in

90
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 3: prison and how they may serve as an inspiration to

91
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 3: other prisoners.

92
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 4: The judge commented today this is one of the most

93
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 4: remarkable and he used that term remarkable transformations. And he said,

94
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 4: while the crime was truly horrific and remarkable, the thirty

95
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 4: five years since what they have accomplished is remarkable in

96
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 4: with no hope, and we've said that since day one,

97
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 4: and so with no hope this encourages people who are

98
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 4: incarcerated to make the right decisions, to take the right path.

99
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 4: So I couldn't be It's just a win win on

100
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: so many levels.

101
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: I can't taste that.

102
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: So that's what he's saying is that, look, there was many,

103
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: many years that they've been behind bars where they had

104
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: no possibility of getting out. Remember the original sentence was

105
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: life without the possibility of paroles.

106
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they did. All of these antellit.

107
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: Laws have allowed them to reapply exactly because of the

108
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 3: age that they were at the time of the killing.

109
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: Now what happened. That wasn't what this was.

110
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: The judge removed the special circumstance that was part of

111
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 3: that original conviction. And forgive me for not being a

112
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 3: legal expert, I don't know exactly what that means, but

113
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 3: the special circumstance was removed and that allowed them to

114
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: be resentenced them.

115
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: Well, usually it's the manner in which they filled. For example,

116
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: if you're lying in the premeditation. Yeah, the premeditation, that's

117
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: that sort of thing. Yeah, it justifies a life sentence

118
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: or a death penalty.

119
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: So kind of a defeat for for Nathan Hawkman, who

120
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: fought against this. He said that they were not ready. Obviously,

121
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: Mark Arragos disagreed. He says that they are ready. But

122
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: Nathan Hackman doesn't believe they're ready for parole either. So

123
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: he has spoken today and here's what he said about that.

124
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 5: If and when they do come fully clean, I believe

125
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 5: that the parole board should very well consider them as

126
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 5: eligible for parole. I believe that the Menendez brothers has

127
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 5: started down the path of fully accepting responsibility for all

128
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 5: their actions.

129
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: I disagree with all these people, Hawkman, Garregos, the judge,

130
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: their psychopaths, They blew their parents' heads off, and the mom.

131
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 2: The mom didn't commit any sexual abuse, and she was

132
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: crawling away. I mean, that's why you have to execute

133
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 2: him immediately.

134
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: Right there in the courtroom.

135
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 2: As soon as the jury says guilty, somebody pull out

136
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: a shotgum boom in the back of the head both

137
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: of them.

138
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 3: Well, you're not helping your case for getting them not

139
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: to come back after you. Should they be seeking vengeance.

140
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 3: I realized that, and we'll have to watch. Well up

141
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 3: watch the June thirteenth is the clemency hearing.

142
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: We're always gonna sit there from now on every show.

143
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: It's always supporting characters like me that doing in these movies.

144
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: You're the hero. You will servid. I'm the one who

145
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: goes down.

146
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 3: You got another clip you center? No that okay?

147
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: All right, well that's too much hearing Garrago's ladder wrong like.

148
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: That just upsets my stomach. All right, Thank you, Michael.

149
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: Always a plus.

150
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: Very good caf I news on the U possible uh

151
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: release of the Menendez brothers.

152
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: They've been resentenced, how life in prison with.

153
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: That parole becomes they can go free, and even so

154
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: they're re sentenced to fifty years to life. Well, they

155
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: still only serve thirty five years. At least serve the

156
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: fifty for god's sakes. What a stupid system do you?

157
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: Who are you people voting for? All right, well, when

158
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: we come back, we'll play you one of the people

159
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: you vote for. In some cases, people have voted for

160
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: this guy six times over the last twenty years. Gavin

161
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: Newsom suddenly he discovered all the homeless people rotting and

162
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: dying in the streets, and he's getting upset.

163
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 6: Really, you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI

164
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 6: AM six forty.

165
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: If it seems like Governor Newsom is being talked about

166
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: a lot and there's a lot of news around him,

167
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: it's true there is. Partly it is because he's suddenly

168
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: speaking out on a lot of hot button issues that

169
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: he's been wrong on and he wants to somehow reposition

170
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: himself as he runs for president. Secondly, I think a

171
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: lot of journalists I've realized he really is running for president,

172
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: and they're looking around and saying, I know we didn't

173
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: cover this much, but really he's running for president when

174
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: California is in this state, yikes. I know the pressures

175
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: on him he's one of these kids who I don't remember.

176
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: Years ago and Bill Clinton ran for president, there was

177
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: a famous picture of him shaking John Kennedy's hands when

178
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 2: Clinton was thirteen years old, and it was like his

179
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: boyhood dreamed to be a president. Kennedy was his hero. Well,

180
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 2: Newsom's the same guy. Robert Kennedy was his hero, and

181
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 2: he sees his dream going up in smoke. And it

182
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: starts with all the dying and dead bodies laying in

183
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: the streets by the thousands because of the Newsom's bad policies. Well,

184
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 2: he had some kind of a press conference today and

185
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: it was about the budget, and then Newsom went on

186
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: a bit of a rant. Remember his ordnance that he

187
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: proposed this week for cities and towns to ban homeless encampments.

188
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: Everybody's got to get moved after three days. Well that's

189
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: what he's talking about here.

190
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 7: I'm not trying to point fingers, but my gosh, the

191
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 7: state has never done more in its history. We flooded

192
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 7: the zone. It's time to move on from the stale

193
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 7: talking points. Step up. There are counties that are doing

194
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 7: credible work. We applaud them. There are many cities doing

195
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 7: extraordinary work. I applaud them. There are many cities that

196
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 7: are not, in many counties that are not. They just

197
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 7: have to do their job. And I am just on

198
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 7: behalf of the taxpayers of the state. In the spirit

199
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 7: of Ashley's question, I'm not interested. I'm just not as

200
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 7: a taxpayer, not just governing. I'm not interested in funding

201
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 7: failure anymore. I'm not. I won't time to do your job.

202
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 7: People are dying on their watch, dying on their watch.

203
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 7: How do people get re elected? Look at these encampments.

204
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 7: There are disgrace. They've been there years and years and

205
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 7: years and years. I've heard that same rhetoric for years.

206
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 7: People are dying, kids are being born overdoses. I met

207
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 7: a young man literally was out there doing Project Homeless Connect,

208
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 7: reaching out in the four or five freeway. I found

209
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 7: out the next day he was dead in this name

210
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 7: of compassion. Because we had a notice, I could have

211
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 7: helped them. That night, I felt like a I felt

212
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 7: like I let him down. We got to be more aggressive.

213
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 7: I saw a young child, a young kid in San

214
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 7: Diego is with the Mayor of San Diego right before

215
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 7: his State of the state. This poor kid was addicted

216
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 7: to meth. He was a wonderful kid, and he said,

217
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 7: I'm really glad you came. He goes, I'm struggling, and

218
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 7: they're in the tent with his wife was a newborn baby.

219
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 7: He said, thank you for coming.

220
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: There's no compassion in denying what.

221
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 7: The hell's going on in the streets and sidewalks. They

222
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 7: need to step up. Enough of the rhetoric. I'm serious,

223
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 7: enough of the rhetoric. People are dying in this state.

224
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 7: It is a disgrace. It is one of the principal

225
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 7: reasons people are so angry. They don't trust politicians, they

226
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 7: don't like what they see. I'm sorry to get so

227
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 7: intense about it. It's a moral issue. They need to

228
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 7: do their job, and if they can't do it, let

229
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 7: me know, just say we give up, and then we'll intervene.

230
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 7: We'll come up with different strategies and different approaches. But

231
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 7: I'm sick and tired of all the barriers and all

232
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 7: the bs, all the excuses. So that's the spirit of

233
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 7: this model Ordnance and what this model Ordnance does and

234
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 7: what we're promoting, and so I hope people take a

235
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 7: good look at it, and I hope they take me

236
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 7: very seriously. I got two more swings at the bat.

237
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 7: Not naive, but I'm done. I'm just done with the excuses.

238
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: Period. We'll stop.

239
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: Had he stopped, that's the first time he ever actually

240
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: stopped at the end of a period, full stop.

241
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't know where to start with that.

242
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 8: In the spirit of things, that's how you can start,

243
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 8: the spirit of the spirit of what he said, you

244
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 8: spirit a lot.

245
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: And he also said, on behalf of the taxpayer.

246
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 2: That's a first. I've never heard that before. On behalf

247
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: of the taxpayer?

248
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm how do how do people get re elected?

249
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: I tried to scribble a few things down. I can't

250
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: even read my own scroll. How do people get reelected?

251
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 2: Starting with you, how did you get reelected? On behalf

252
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 2: of the taxpayer? I had Michael Schellenberger on last hour.

253
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: He calculated that Newsom has spent thirty seven billion dollars

254
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 2: on homelessness in this state. Thirty seven billion. Newsom is

255
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 2: admitted to twenty four billion and claims he doesn't know

256
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: where it went.

257
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: Well, I have a question.

258
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 2: Since six and a half years, let's go back to

259
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two,

260
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 2: twenty three, twenty four. None of those years did he

261
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: stop and say, where't all money go? Why is homelessness worse?

262
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 7: Do you know?

263
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: Homelessness is up since he took over by twenty four

264
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: percent thirty seven billion dollars and it went up twenty

265
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 2: four percent. Next thing, you know, he's going to be

266
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: saying this is unconscionable that high speed rail hasn't been

267
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: built yet.

268
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: Right, that's the next.

269
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: Then he's gonna tell us, you know, the taxes in

270
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: this state are way too high, and I can't believe

271
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: gas prices are going up to nine bucks a gallon.

272
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: He is psych He's like to Benendas brothers Hill, you know,

273
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: minus the murders. They don't care what they say, don't

274
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 2: say anything they have to say. That's sort of sociopathics.

275
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 2: Has no remorse, no feeling at all, No no no guilt.

276
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: But your your policies. Schellenberger laid it out in his story.

277
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: All right.

278
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: You know what after, I know, we got a couple

279
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: of people coming on. So we got we got all right,

280
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: because this is important. Yeah, we got Lori Angle coming

281
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: on next about the disgusting ditty case. Then state centertor

282
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: Tony Strickland is coming on after three o'clock because the

283
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: budget is way out of whack, and he's got a

284
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: lot to say about that. In fact, in his press

285
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: release he has a long long list of what Newsom

286
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 2: is wasting money on. How do these people get reelected?

287
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 2: Says Gavin Newsom, that that is the question for all time,

288
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: how do these people get re elected? He is shameless,

289
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: He's like Garatus, just utterly shameless. Well, let me tell

290
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: you after Strickling comes on, I want to go through

291

Speaker 2: that whole clip again. I want to go line by

292
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: line through that clip. I may not leave the studio.

293
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: I may block Conway, I may take this place hostage.

294
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: I can't believe it.

295
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,400

Speaker 2: I am six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.

299
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: One thing I want to get to next segment. We

300
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 2: got a compilation of Jake Tapper defending Joe Biden's brain

301
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: for four years and now I watch him. He drives

302
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: me crazy because he's on TV when I'm doing my show,

303
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: and you know he's pushing his book. You know that

304
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: he's discovered all the truth. Well, he was doing all

305
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: the cover up for four years. We'll get to that.

306
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 2: We're going to have Tony Strickland on after three o'clock

307
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: about Newsome's whack job budget, and then we got a

308
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: discuss in detail. He knew some tape from today, which

309
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: is the most astonishing thing I've heard in a long time.

310
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 3: But first for all that, Laura Engele is here. I'm

311
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: practically out of breath. Laura, how are you forgive the ranting?

312
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, I am good, but I am wow. All

313
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 8: I can say is wow, wow, wow. As I sit

314
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 8: outside of five hundred Pearl Street in Lower Manhattan, outside

315
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 8: of Federal Court, where we have just wrapped up day

316
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 8: two of Sean Colmbe's ex girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Cassandra Ventura,

317
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 8: known as Cassie, just completed her direct testimony in his

318
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 8: sex trafficking federal trial.

319
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: I should mention Laura's with News Nation and she's covering

320
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: this trial and every time I read or watch a clip,

321
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: everything is so disgusting. So I'm going to let you

322
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: explain what went on today. What have you seen and heard?

323
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 8: Well, I can tell you that, first of all, Cassie

324
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 8: Ventura is very pregnant, very beautiful, and she when she

325
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 8: came in the courtroom today in one of the sessions

326
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 8: that I was in watching, she walked in and I

327
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 8: could see Sean Comb's turn around to see her twice,

328
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 8: like he turned around twice. She came from the back

329
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 8: of the courtroom, her eyes directed straight to the witness stands.

330
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 8: She didn't look back at him, and she sat down

331
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 8: and proceeded to continue to tell the courtroom and jurors

332
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 8: about the ongoing eleven year what she called, you know,

333
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 8: sexually abusive freak offs. She was forced into performing multiple

334
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 8: sexual acts with multiple partners male escorts that were hired

335
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 8: coming across state lines, which is where we're going to

336
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 8: get into the sex trafficking. Horrific, embarrassing, humiliating details of

337
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 8: the things that she was told to do at the

338
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 8: director of Sean Combs, who she said was not only

339
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 8: directing her what to do with these other men, but

340
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 8: also recording her doing them, and would use those videotapes

341
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 8: to basically blackmail her, saying if you ever leave me,

342
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 8: if you ever tell on me, if you ever trying

343
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,239
Speaker 8: to do anything, I've got these tapes and they're going

344
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 8: to come back to haunt you and your music career

345
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 8: is over, and he repeatedly she claims, beat her. The

346
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 8: jury today for the first time saw images of this

347
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 8: beautiful woman with a huge, fat lip, a big black eye,

348
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 8: a dash over her eyebrow, and her right above one

349
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 8: of her eyes, in which she said she sustained a

350
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 8: terrible beatings. Anytime that she tried to kind of push

351
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 8: back on him, saying I don't want to do something,

352
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 8: or you're being mean to me, she would say that

353
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 8: he would repeatedly beat her, and she detailed one in

354
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 8: cana where they were in an escalade leaving a party

355
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 8: and she said that he had said something mean to her,

356
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 8: and when they got in the car, she punched him,

357
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 8: and then he proceeded to beat the living life out

358
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 8: of her and stomping on her head and face until

359
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 8: she was so bloody and bruce she needed days to recover.

360
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 8: So sorry, we are on the mean streets of New

361
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 8: York City right now, so as you hear the sirens

362
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 8: going by outside of the porthouse.

363
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: This went on for eleven years.

364
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 8: What's that?

365
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 2: This went on for eleven years, he beating her, enforcing

366
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 2: her into these freak off sex orgies and.

367
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 8: These freak offs. Yeah, and for the first time, John jurors,

368
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 8: not the public and not members of the gallery, just

369
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 8: the jurors. Cassie and Sean Colmes were shown on video

370
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 8: monitors skills of these freak offs. And for anybody who

371
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 8: doesn't know, these freak offs are basically these royalistic most

372
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 8: of the time. Shawn Colmes allegedly did participate in some

373
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 8: of them, but he liked to watch. He wanted to

374
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 8: watch his girlfriend having sex with multiple male escorts covered

375
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 8: in baby oil, very rough sex that went on for days,

376
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 8: drug fueled. She was telling the jury how Seawan Colmebs

377
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 8: had her take drugs, how she was on She had

378
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 8: to medicate was booze and alcohol and with drugs to

379
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 8: just get through all of this. And you remember this

380
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 8: started when she was nineteen years old. I mean she

381
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 8: was young. She was excited to be in the music industry.

382
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 8: Her boyfriend was Sean Colmbs. She got a ten record deal.

383
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 8: She thought she was going to have this huge and

384
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 8: she loved him. She said, I did a lot of

385
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 8: this because I just wanted to be with him. At

386
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 8: the end, I wanted to get over these freak offs

387
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 8: and get him over with, so then I could just

388
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 8: kind of crawl into bed and just be with him and.

389
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: Really, wait a second, So seriously, after all those years,

390
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 2: not only getting beaten up, of being forced into all this,

391
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 2: the crazed sex with strangers, she still wanted to crawl

392
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 2: in bed and.

393
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: Cuddle with him.

394
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 8: It's complicated, John, it is domestic violence. It's a domestic

395
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 8: violent situation. And she even in the way the things ended,

396
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 8: we go through this, I mean, I just got to say,

397
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 8: I mean, this is a roller coaster ride that we

398
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 8: were on today going through all of the horrific details,

399
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 8: and I really you really felt for And again she's

400
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 8: nine months pregnant. So she's up there on a witness

401
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 8: stand looking beautiful with a tight sweater dress on, showing

402
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 8: her belly, talking about what she's been through. But at

403
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 8: the end of the testimony, and by the way, her husband,

404
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 8: Alex Fine, a personal trainer, was in the courtroom for

405
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 8: a lot of this. He had to get up and

406
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 8: leave at one point. We're not sure why he left.

407
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 8: But throughout the day the testimony is pretty brutal. But

408
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 8: at the end she talked about how in twenty eighteen

409
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 8: they went to dinner in Malibu and to have kind

410
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 8: of this closure dinner, this dinner about talking about how

411
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 8: we're going to end the relationships. We're going to try

412
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 8: and end on a high note. He took her home

413
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 8: and then she claims that he raped her on the

414
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 8: floor of her living room in twenty eighteen, and she

415
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 8: was devastated at how and she was crying throughout all

416
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 8: of this. But then John, she said that they did

417
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 8: have one more consensual sexual encounter after that, and the

418
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 8: prosecution said, why would you why would you go back

419
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 8: to him or why would you do something like that

420
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 8: after he had been so violent with you, And again

421
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 8: she said, it's a complicated issue. This is a you know,

422
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 8: somebody who you love that's treating you badly. So we

423
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 8: really got, you know, a real behind the scenes curtain

424
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 8: look at that relationship through these last two days.

425
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 2: Now, what he did to her personally is not part

426
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: of the charges that he's facing for this trial, right,

427
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 2: those are all about sex trafficking and racketeering and transportation

428
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: for prostitution.

429
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: Correct.

430
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like what she's saying today or not

431
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 2: specifically the charges, she's just setting the scene.

432
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 8: She's setting the scene, and that's what the first two witnesses.

433
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 8: The first witness that was called was a male escort

434
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 8: talking about the work he had done with Cassie and

435
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 8: how much sex they had in front of Sean Colmes.

436
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 8: We had an assistant go up there, and now we

437
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 8: have Cassie. And remember they kind of get to Cassie

438
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 8: Ventura pretty quickly because she looks like she's going to

439
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 8: go any time, and so that's why they're trying. They're

440
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 8: kind of bouncing all over the place, going over all

441
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 8: of the different scenarios. I mean, she's talking about being

442
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 8: thrown against a bedpost where her eye gets slashed, and

443
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 8: Shawn Comb's coming at her another instance with a wine opener.

444
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 8: I mean, it sounds like he just about, according to her,

445
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 8: killed her multiple times. But wait a minute. But to

446
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 8: the point, she's laying out all this stuff. So she's

447
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 8: having all of this sex with all these different male

448
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 8: escorts time and time again, many of which it's not

449
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 8: just New York, it's not just La it's Miami. It's

450
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 8: there are people that are crossing state lines. So she's

451
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 8: laying the foundation. Remember this is an eight week trial.

452
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 8: We're on eight three, and it's exhausting.

453
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: I say, I'm exhausted. You've been on about six minutes.

454
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm exhausted. Well, And they did all this section in

455
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: front of crowds at parties, right, a.

456
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: Lot of them.

457
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 8: You know, what she has described so far sounds like

458
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 8: a pretty small circle. But what we're going to hear,

459
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 8: and it sounds like in the coming days in weeks,

460
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 8: will be from the assistance from the people in the

461
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 8: inner circle. And that's where we're going to get into

462
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 8: the racketeering, all the people that knew about it. And

463
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 8: you know what, this reminds me of, John, Remember when

464
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 8: you and I and Ken were reporting on Michael Jackson. Yeah,

465
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 8: we were doing the Michael Jackson trial. A lot of

466
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 8: this reminds me of that of how people in the

467
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 8: Inner Circle were accused of helping to facilitate all of

468
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 8: these dirty des of you know, turning the other eye

469
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 8: or just you know, booking the flights, getting the people

470
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 8: in the door, providing the bottles and bottles of baby oil,

471
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 8: and the drugs and the hotel rooms and the ivs

472
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 8: and the hydration and the medical treatment that was needed

473
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 8: after everybody went through these ordeals. So she's laying the

474
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 8: foundation for all of the other witnesses that are coming

475
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 8: that we'll talk about, you know, the trafficking and the racketeuron.

476
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 2: All right, well, good luck and through this one, Laura,

477
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: thank you for coming on. You're welcome, all right, Laura

478
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: Engele News Nation covering the Diddy trial, and Cassie Ventura,

479
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: his longtime girlfriend, was on the stand today explaining eleven

480
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: years of sexually abusive and physically abusive behavior which is

481
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 2: impossible to comprehend. When we come back, I want to

482
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: I want to play this compilation we have of Jake Tapper.

483
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: There are so many frauds out there, and many of

484
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 2: them are on the show today. And Tapper spent a

485
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: lot of time anchoring his CNN show defending Biden's cognitive

486
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: abilities and occasionally attacking guests who would say something in

487
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: insulting about Biden actually would be accurate. And now he's

488
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: got a book that he's selling with a co author

489
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 2: exposing what was really going on and that yeah, Biden

490
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 2: was senile for much of his presidency.

491
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

492
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 6: six forty.

493
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: I'm just sick of all the frauds and the liars

494
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 2: and just just the shamelessness of it all. We're going

495
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 2: to spend a lot of time in newsom next hour

496
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 2: speaking of frauds and liars. But CNN anchor Jake Tapper,

497
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 2: he spent the last four or five years defending Joe

498
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 2: Biden's diminished capabilities and occasionally getting angry with guests who

499
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 2: said otherwise. And now he's got a book saying, hey.

500
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 9: What do you know?

501
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: He really was cnile the whole time he was in

502
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 2: the White House. Now he's going to make millions.

503
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: Of dollars giving us the truth.

504
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: Well, we've got a couple of minutes Eclipse here repeatedly

505
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: defending Biden's shall we say, cognitive abilities?

506
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: Roll the clip.

507
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 9: How do you think it makes little kids with stutters

508
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 9: feel when they see you make a comment like that.

509
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 9: It is very clearly a cognitive decline, That's what I'm

510
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 9: referring to.

511
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 8: It makes me uncomfortable.

512
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: You are no age. That's so amazing. It's so amazing to.

513
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 9: Me that trying figure out an answer cognitive declinegative. Biden

514
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 9: embraces his stutter talking about it, while Trump mock said,

515
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 9: exaggerates it.

516
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: The littles it.

517
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 9: He's sharp physically, I mean mentally, Yeah, I think the

518
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 9: question is physically right right or so right right?

519
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 3: And the guy who's his chief.

520
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 9: Opponent is only three or four years younger than him. Ada,

521
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 9: I mean, you have questioned President Biden's age, mental fit, fitness,

522
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 9: ability to lead. Of those supporting Biden, you said, quote,

523
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 9: shame on all of you pretending everything is okay. You're

524
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 9: leading us and him into a disaster. Do you worry

525
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 9: that you damaged him at all? I don't doubt that

526
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 9: you got hugs and handshakes behind closed doors today and

527
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 9: maybe even publicly, some of them because they like you personally.

528
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 9: But I've heard a lot of really nasty stuff about

529
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 9: you from your Democratic colleague.

530
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 6: I mean, just like, what is he thinking?

531
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 9: Exercise in narcissism? I mean false claims to the Wall

532
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 9: Street Journal about President Biden's mental fitness and acuity. He's

533
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 9: eighty one and his memory. You know, it doesn't seem great.

534
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 9: It's not horrible, But I don't understand the outrage quote

535
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 9: behind closed doors Biden shows signs of slipping quotes.

536
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal is.

537
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 9: Owned by NewsCorp, which is run by the Murdocks. Beyond

538
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 9: the headline, there is some critical nuance here. The article

539
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 9: is mostly based on observations of Republicans, with former Speaker

540
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 9: Kevin McCarthy the only one going on the record. They

541
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 9: do note in the article that most of the criticism

542
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 9: comes from Republicans. Have you heard any concerns from anyone

543
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 9: who has met with President Biden about seeming a little slower?

544
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,479
Speaker 9: Now the Russians are trying to do to make us

545
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 9: in the public not trust the our election integrity. Joe

546
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 9: Biden has to mention all this stuff.

547
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: Oh, it was the Russians. He what a disaster he is.

548
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: I had no idea, And he's smug and condescending and

549
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: absolutely sure of himself, dismissive and obnoxious, and he was

550
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: lying the whole time. And now he wrote a book

551
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: exposing the cover up of Joe Biden's condition. Jake Tapper CNN,

552
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: still on television, still making millions of dollars. This is

553
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: a great country. This is astounding, all right. Next, narcissistic sociopath.

554
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about Gavin Newsom. It's like, is

555
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: everybody a mental patient? He's got a new budget out.

556
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking at the headline in the La Times.

557
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 2: California faces an additional twelve billion dollar budget deficit, says Newsom.

558
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 2: Yet you know why, because it costs almost exactly twelve

559
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: billion dollars to give free illegal alien health care. We're

560
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: gonna talk to Tony Strickland. He's the Republican state Senator

561
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 2: from Huntington Beach and he's going to discuss Newsom's budget next.
