I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,439 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 2: app on the radio from one until four, then after 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 2: four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand. It's the podcast 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 2: version and you can listen to what you missed. A 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 2: little over an hour ago we picked up on a 7 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 2: We're going to have Alex Stone on just a minute 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 2: about Hunter Biden. But over an hour ago we had 9 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 2: a car chase and it was a silver pickup truck 10 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 2: that was being chased by CHP and as it was 11 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:39,599 Speaker 2: going over the seventy one freeway an overpass on Mission Boulevard, 12 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: it suddenly swerved over several lanes smashed head onto a 13 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: red car. It was quite the sight and what's the 14 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 2: latest on there? 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 3: So before we ended up picking up the crash before 16 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 3: the head on collision, apparently there was a dog in 17 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 3: that truck and either was thrown out of the truck 18 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 3: or jumped out of the truck. And so kt LA 19 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 3: has been hosting about this and saying they're they're working 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,559 Speaker 3: to try and find out what happened to that dog. 21 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 3: Oh no, I know, it's very so. 22 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: Now we have a possible dogcaster yes, on top of that, 23 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: And where did this start? 24 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: Do we know? 25 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 3: I have no idea where this started. I have no 26 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 3: idea what this guy was wanted for. None of that 27 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 3: information has been available. 28 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: Because he went on. 29 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 2: I want to I'd like to know why he suddenly 30 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: swerved across those lanes and crashed head on, because it 31 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: almost looked like he was aiming at this car. There 32 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: was no left turn to make there. It was on 33 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 2: the overpass, it was on the bridge, all right. Alex 34 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,919 Speaker 2: Stone coming on now for ABC News. Hunter Bryant Biden 35 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 2: was in town today. Uh, going to court the Uh 36 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: what do they call him? Is he the first crack addict? 37 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: Is that the sun? 38 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. YEA many 39 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: many names that are out there. 40 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 4: Yeah. 41 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: I mean, this is the whole Delaware thing that fell apart. 42 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: And now because he lives in in Malibu, that now 43 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: the court cases have turned to LA because the Special 44 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: Council in Delaware ended up sending the tax part of 45 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: that case. There was a tax base part in the 46 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: gun part. The gun part stayed in Delaware, the tax 47 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 2: part since he lives out here and allegedly committed his 48 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: crimes out here, they sent it to a grand jury 49 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: in LA and that's what this was today. 50 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: That it was about a thirty minute hearing. 51 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: We thought it was going to be quite a bit 52 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: shorter than that, but they ended up debating a lot 53 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 2: of things and dates and talking about the failed plea 54 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: deal from before. But within a few minutes of the 55 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 2: hearing getting going, he entered the plea himself of not 56 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 2: guilty to nine counts of tax evasion, mix of felony 57 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 2: and then misdemeanor. If he has found guilty on these 58 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 2: counts that he was in court for today, could be 59 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: looking at federal prison for seventeen years if he were 60 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 2: to be given the max and all of them. And 61 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: if you remember in the indictment, this goes back to 62 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: that he allegedly used the money coming in from foreign 63 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: entities of a number of different countries instead of paying 64 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 2: taxes with that money, using it on luxury hotels, drugs, escorts, 65 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: exotic cars, girlfriends, an adult website, number of different things. 66 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: And so it gets going in LA. Now the now 67 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 2: LA gets in on the Hunter Biden action that you 68 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 2: know he was in on Capitol Hill yesterday for that 69 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: show that was going on. He's got the Delaware gun case. 70 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: Now he's got the tax evasion case here. He didn't 71 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 2: show a lot of emotion in court about an hour 72 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 2: and a half ago, sat for the duration of the 73 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: thirty minute hearing in between his lawyers wore a navy 74 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: blue suit. Sat there except for saying not guilty. They 75 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: set a trial date of June twentieth. The judge federal 76 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: judge here in LA, a Trump appointee, saying we like 77 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: to or nominee, we like to move things along. The 78 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: government said great, that June twentieth works for them. His 79 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: defense team said it may not. With the Delaware case 80 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: that they got. They got to figure out if those 81 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: are gonna come at the same time, and if they're 82 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: going to be able to do it. He at least 83 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: somebody will be back in court. I don't know if 84 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: he'll be there, but the next hearing will be March 85 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 2: twenty seventh in this case in LA and we'll see 86 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: where it goes. Unlikely there's gonna be another deal. When 87 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: a plea deal falls apart, it's highly unlikely they're going 88 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: to say, you know what, that didn't work, We'll give 89 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 2: you another one. So it seems like as long as 90 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: he goes with not guilty, that there will be a 91 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: trial here in La. It's funny he was pleading guilty 92 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 2: when he thought the penalty was two years probation. 93 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, he's not guilty. Yeah. 94 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: Well, I mean he either paid the taxes or he didn't, 95 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: and that's easily provable. 96 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 97 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 2: And when that deal didn't work out in Delaware, it 98 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: seems like that as a defendant you would won another deal, 99 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: but highly unlikely that they're going. 100 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: To do that. 101 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, they released him today on the 102 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 2: same conditions as the Delaware case. No possession of guns, 103 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 2: no alcohol, has to submit to a drug or alcohol 104 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 2: test if they want him to, and then it was over. 105 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 2: Then he got into black suv. Two black SUVs pulled 106 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 2: out of the federal courthouse in downtown LA and he 107 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 2: was out of there. And then March twenty seven, this 108 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: is all about the shady money that he made in 109 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: these deals with China and Ukraine, is yeah, in this case, 110 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: then he's got the gun case in Delaware, But on 111 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: this one, it is the claim that he made a 112 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: lot of money from these different groups and organizations and 113 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 2: companies in foreign countries in China and Ukraine and some 114 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: other countries as well, never let the government know and 115 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: wasn't paying taxes on them, and then use that money 116 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 2: for only fans and some other stuff. Right, what any 117 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 2: guy would spend it on if he was alone with 118 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 2: millions of dollars, Well, he must have gotten a lot 119 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: of money if he skipped out on a million dollar 120 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 2: a million and a half dollar tax bill. And if 121 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 2: he was making so much money, how did he end 122 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 2: up in a tent on skid row? Well, I mean 123 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 2: there is a lot going on there that I think 124 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: he admits to, and the Biden family admits to as well. 125 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: And you know, by the way, during this hearing today, 126 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: they talked about that they had come to a plea 127 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: deal on that earlier case, the one in Delaware that 128 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: combined these two, and his attorneys seemed like they were 129 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 2: kind of frustrated about it, saying, we had a resolution 130 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: on this case in twenty twenty three, and then things happened, 131 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 2: and the government then stood up and said, well, you 132 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: know what, plea deals fall apart all the time. Well, 133 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: kind of you know, now we move forward, and now 134 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 2: he could be looking at real prison time. A judge 135 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: in Delaware threw it out. She wouldn't go along with Yeah, 136 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 2: she said no deal. Yeah, because the government was going 137 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 2: along with the deal. It was their deal. I guess yeah. 138 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 2: Hunter was willing to Judge said no way, that it 139 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: didn't make sense, that it didn't work with what the 140 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 2: government was willing to do. Then he's got the We 141 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: just found out from the Hill team, our Hill team, 142 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 2: about an hour ago that the House is aiming to 143 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,239 Speaker 2: hold a floor vote to hold Hunter Biden in contempt 144 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,679 Speaker 2: of Congress next week. With everything that's been going on there. 145 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: So he's got this in La, the one in Delaware, 146 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: now a possible floor vote next week in Congress. He's 147 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: got a lot going on. Dam He's got as much 148 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 2: trouble as Trump does. I'm jumping around all right, different 149 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 2: court rooms. All right, very good, Alex. Thanks thanks for 150 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: coming on with Alex Stone at the Federal Court today 151 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: here in Los Angeles. Because Hunter is a Malibu resident 152 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 2: and million and a half dollars he owes to the 153 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: irs and suddenly he's not guilty. He was guilty, but 154 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: now he's not guilty because they changed the deal. I 155 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 2: wonder what the minimum if he will be. He's got 156 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: to be guilty, right, I mean, they know he made 157 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: the money, they can prove that. And they know we 158 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 2: didn't pay taxes, they can prove that. And so I 159 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 2: know the maximum seventeen years. I wonder what the minimum 160 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: is they got to give him something after going through 161 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: all this on MSNBC, I guess that's the main Biden 162 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: White House propaganda outlet. His stepmother, Joe Biden, thinks the 163 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: Republican treatment of her son was cruel. And I'm really 164 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 2: proud of how Hunter had rebuilt his life after addiction. 165 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: You know, I love my son and it's hurt my grandchildren, 166 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: and that's what I'm so concerned about. You know, he 167 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: could choose not to use crack and blow the money 168 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: on strippers, and he doesn't have to live in a 169 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: tent on skid row. His debt probably could have gotten 170 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: some job somewhere in government. You know, it was his choices. 171 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 2: What do you mean sad for? He's a moron and 172 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: a crack addict, first crack addict, John Cobelt. 173 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 5: So you're listening to John Coebelts on demand from KFI 174 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 5: Am six forty. 175 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: We've been telling you frequently about the scam world of nonprofits. 176 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 2: For example, many of the homeless nonprofits here in Los 177 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 2: Angeles are just bilking taxpayers at a tremendous amounts of money. 178 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 2: And I mean, we told you about one nonprofitlast week, 179 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 2: what was it called Hopix, and it gets one hundred 180 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 2: and forty million dollars in funding for homelessness. And they 181 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 2: were caught. They were supposedly housed three hundred people. They're 182 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 2: supposed to pay the rent of these three hundred vagrants, 183 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: and all three hundred and six vagrants got evicted because 184 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 2: Hopex never paid the rent. They had hired a subcontractor 185 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: another nonprofit. This is a big nonprofit hiring a smaller nonprofit. Well, 186 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 2: the smaller nonprofit didn't pay the rent, and the bigger one, Hopex, 187 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: didn't pay the rent. Nobody paid the rent, and the 188 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 2: homeless people all got evicted and became homeless again. And 189 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 2: some of them be can't find They just disappeared. Maybe 190 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 2: you know they're in your neighborhood now. And the nonprofit 191 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 2: world and homelessness is just an absolute criminal operat it 192 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 2: really is. And the whole nonprofit world seems kind of sketchy. 193 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: Here in California, there is a an organization called pro Publica, 194 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: and they're a they're a nonprofit media investigative company, and 195 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 2: they looked into high paid nonprofit executives. Do you know 196 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: who the best paid nonprofit executive in California is? Lloyd Dean, 197 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 2: the CEO of Dignity Health. He made thirty five and 198 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 2: a half million dollars last year at a nonprofit. Thirty 199 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 2: five at at his job isn't nonprofit? This is according 200 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: to data file with the IRS. Pro Publica put the 201 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 2: report together. Now listen to what it says on the 202 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 2: tax filing for Dignity Health. As an affiliate of Common 203 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 2: Spirit Health, Dignity Health is committed to making the healing 204 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: of presence of God known in our work by improving 205 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 2: the health of all the people we serve, especially of 206 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 2: those who are vulnerable, while we advance social justice for all. Well, 207 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 2: that's thirty five and a half million dollars breath of 208 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 2: social justice for this Lloyd Dean. Holy moly, and they 209 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 2: play the God card to protect themselves from criticism. 210 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: Thirty five and a half million dollars. What does he do? 211 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 2: The next closest nonprofit CEO makes less than half of 212 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 2: Lloyd Dean. So Lloyd Dean makes twice as much as 213 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: the number two man on the list. His name is 214 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 2: Gregory Adams. Oh this, he's in healthcare too. He's the 215 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: CEO of the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan. Now Kaiser is 216 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 2: many many times larger than Dignity, but still Adams is 217 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 2: making fifteen and a half million dollars. Yikes, you wonder 218 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 2: why your medical bills are so high. This this suit 219 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: is making fifteen and a half million. So between Gregory 220 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 2: Adams and Lloyd Dean, that's fifty one million dollars. 221 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: For two guys, next time you get your your bill. 222 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: Number three was Teresa Campbell, CEO and president of the 223 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 2: San Diego County Credit Union. She made almost twelve million, 224 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: and that's four percent of that credit union's revenue, much 225 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: higher percentage of the company's revenue than Dignity Health or 226 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: kai Wow. So she's getting four percent twelve million dollars. 227 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: Pretty good for counting money all day. And this is 228 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 2: all the income, wages, salary bonuses, retirement contributions, housing car allowances, 229 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: and everything else. Now you may be wondering, well, what 230 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 2: does the laws say, what are the rules on this? Well, 231 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:29,719 Speaker 2: there's a National Association of nonprofits. Okay, I guess it's 232 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 2: a nonprofit. It's a collection of nonprofits. Doesn't say what 233 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: their CEO makes, and at the upper end, compensation must 234 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 2: be reasonable and not excessive. Unfortunately, the IRS doesn't define reasonable, 235 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 2: So thirty five million dollars for this Lloyd Dean character 236 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: might be perfectly legal. This is why I'm very really, 237 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: I'm serious, I'm very really to give the charities because 238 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 2: I just don't trust them. The money goes most charities 239 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: and most nonprofits that I read about, the executives are 240 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 2: making at least six figures, and a lot of them 241 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 2: are making six figures, and they don't have a metric 242 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: where they could prove that they've achieved any success. Like 243 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 2: the entire homeless scam in Los Angeles, it's an absolute racket. 244 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 2: It's criminal behavior in every other context. But these companies 245 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: never have to, or these nonprofits never have to prove 246 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 2: that they've gotten any people off the street, kept them 247 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 2: off the street, that they've got anybody off addiction, kept 248 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 2: them off addiction. Nobody really counts. They just spend the money. 249 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: And you go. Look. 250 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 2: There are some websites that track compensation for major figures 251 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: in these nonprofits and it's all crazy money. Let me 252 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 2: see they had a top twenty five list. David Shaw, 253 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: the former football coach of Stanford seven million dollars. I guess, 254 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 2: but Stanford is a nonprofit? Is a university? I thought 255 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 2: they're a private university. I know they haven't them listed 256 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: in the top twenty five. Or is the football team 257 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: the profit organization? Well, the football is definitely not a 258 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 2: non profit because they make so much money for that. Yeah, 259 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 2: the football coach is seven and a half million. Former 260 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 2: Robert Wallace, the Stanford CEO, is almost six million. Debbie Zulanski, 261 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 2: former officer with the National Academy of Recording, Arts and 262 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 2: Sciences they hand out the Grammys, she made almost six million. 263 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 2: Let me see what else here? All these other foundations. 264 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 2: Oh oh, this is rich. You know how the PAC 265 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 2: twelve conference burst into pieces? Yeah, because of terrible mismanagement. 266 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 2: Well the guy who used to run the PAC twelve, 267 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 2: Lawrence Scott, Yeah, Larry Scott million dollars, four million dollars 268 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: to destroy the PAC twelve. Confident he should be considered 269 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 2: a thief because of that. Yes, nice, I'm opening a nonprofit. 270 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: What am I doing? 271 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: What am I? What are we all doing. 272 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 6: Work, steping one together. 273 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's we don't even have to say what the 274 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: money's used for. We can just raise the money and 275 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 2: tell everybody it's for good work. 276 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 5: You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI Am 277 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 5: six forty. 278 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 2: We're on until four o'clock one until four.

People in dominant groups often believe 343 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 2: they've earned the privileges they enjoy, or that everyone could 344 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 2: have access to these privileges if they only work. 345 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: To earn them. 346 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 2: Oh that's not true.

Okay, like that girl who 373 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 2: wrote to Jodie Foster, I'm not feeling it. In fact, 374 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 2: privileges are unearned and granted to people in the dominant groups, 375 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 2: whether they want these privileges or not, and regardless of 376 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 2: their stated intent. 377 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: Hmm, this, I mean, this is for real. This is 378 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: not this is not a joke. 379 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 2: Now it is all over Twitter. It's all over uh, 380 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,719 Speaker 2: you know, all the social media. I so, A Johns 381 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 2: Hopkins Medicine spokesperson said the monthly newsletter from the Office 382 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: of Diversity, Inclusion and Health Equity used language that contradicts 383 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 2: the values of Johns Hopkins as an institution. Doctor Sharda 384 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 2: Golden has acknowledged this mistake and retracted the language used 385 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 2: in the message. Oh she meant it, stop it, and 386 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 2: they have their apology letter. This is great, so, she says. 387 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 2: The newsletter included a definition of the word privilege, which, 388 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 2: upon reflection, I deeply regret. Yeah, the reflect is is 389 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 2: they were going to toss her ASCI into the street. 390 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 2: The intent of the newsletter is to inform and support 391 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: an inclusive community at Hopkins, but the language of this 392 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 2: definition clearly did not meet that goal. In fact, because 393 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 2: it was over simplistic and poorly worded, I had had 394 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 2: the opposite effect of being exclusionary and hurtful to members 395 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 2: of our community. 396 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: I was hurt. You were no, I was. 397 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 6: I'm okay, I'm stronger than you. 398 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: I guess that's because your privileged. 399 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 6: That's right, but you are too. 400 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: Apparently not enough. 401 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 2: I retract and disavowed the definition I shared, and I 402 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 2: am sorry. I will work to ensure that future messages 403 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 2: better reflect our organizational values. 404 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: Holy moly, what a loon bag? 405 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 2: Oh my god, you know what? Oh I wish I 406 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 2: could have heard that phone call, right, I wish I 407 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 2: could have heard when somebody rang her desk phone and 408 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 2: chief diversity officer. I thought companies were getting rid of these, 409 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 2: these these titles and these offices because I I don't 410 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 2: understand this is what they that they do is they 411 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 2: insult everyone else that they don't think should be favored 412 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 2: in any way. How much does that person get paid. 413 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, I know, I'm sure six figures. I'm 414 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 2: sure six figures. I uh, I'm sure. I'm looking through 415 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 2: this story, but I can't find it now. Johns Hopkins 416 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 2: is not a public institution, so I don't think, Wow, 417 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 2: I I. 418 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 6: Eric you want to apply?

That's all anybody's asking. You know, that's 422 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 2: that's they're sick people coming to the hospital. Make them, 423 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 2: make them better. You know, people have diseases. Do research, 424 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 2: here are the diseases. That's your job. Your job is 425 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 2: not to scold everyone all these people in that category. 426 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 2: Nobody can control what category. And all you can do 427 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 2: is show up at work every day, earn money, then 428 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 2: trade in the money for stuff. I mean, that's what 429 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 2: we're all doing all day at the very least, so 430 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 2: we have food and water and shelter. And then there's 431 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 2: people who refuse to work and they wonder why they're 432 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 2: they're out in the street waiting for somebody to give 433 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 2: them a tent.
