1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,239 Speaker 1: Can't find AM six forty. 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: We're on the radio from one in till four. 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 2: As you know, then after four o'clock John Cobelt on 5 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 2: demand the podcast so you could listen to what you 6 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: miss been furiously looking up the history of the Scott 7 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: Peterson trial. Yes, the guy who killed Lacy Peterson over 8 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,639 Speaker 2: twenty years ago. Now, she disappeared Christmas Eve two thousand 9 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 2: and two. And if you've been around long enough, you 10 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 2: probably remember that was a long trial. It was a 11 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 2: long search to prove that Peterson well, first had to 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: find Lacy Peterson's body and then connected to Scott Peterson. 13 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: And then you had a trial and he was sentenced 14 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: to death, and then the sentence was reduced to life 15 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: in prison without parole because there was a dispute about 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 2: a juror whether she had been forthcoming about domestic incidents 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 2: and legal issues that she had had in her life. 18 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: She had not apparently told the judge about it, and 19 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 2: so they decided to turn his sentence into life in 20 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: prison without parole. See, this is why you've got to 21 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: execute people right away. If we had an immediate execution 22 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 2: policy in California. You wouldn't get a story like this 23 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: today out of the blue. And I just heard this 24 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 2: driving in at noon listening to Debra's News because ABC 25 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 2: had an exclusive and Alex Stone really just had an 26 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: elongated headline there. I can't find any details, but it's 27 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: the Innocence Project has taken up the Scott Peterson case, 28 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: That's what ABC says. And the Innocence Project has gotten 29 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 2: a number of people out of prison who were wrongfully convicted. 30 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: You know, they they usually take on cases that they 31 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: think they have a reasonable chance to to win with. 32 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: I don't know why they're picking the Scott Peterson case. 33 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 2: It was like right just up to, you know, a 34 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: couple of minutes ago. I've been going through the history 35 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 2: of the trial and I'm trying to figure out what's 36 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 2: what's the angle here because it's not about the juror, 37 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 2: I don't think, because because whether that juror was was 38 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: properly vetted or not, it doesn't it doesn't change his 39 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 2: guilt or innocence. You have a guilty guy and maybe 40 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: you have a funky juror. But the Innocence Project deals 41 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: with people where the evidence was just wrong, or the 42 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 2: evidence used to convict a person was just wrong, or 43 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 2: there was other evidence that was never that was never 44 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 2: entered into court. And according to the stories is that 45 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: they're looking for new evidence that dates back to the 46 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 2: trial in two thousand and three. So I don't know 47 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 2: what new evidence there is that they think other people 48 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: did it. Well, I can't imagine who that would be. 49 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: And you know the right at this point, it's not 50 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 2: really worth going into the evidence at the time because 51 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: it's lengthy and I don't know what they're going after. 52 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: But if this actually gained some traction, then yeah, we'll. 53 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: Reopen the case here. 54 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: Because they didn't have you know, there were no witnesses 55 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: that saw Scott. The theory is as he took he 56 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: killed Lacey, took her out in the boat and she 57 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: was pregnant eight munths pregnant at the time with their son, 58 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: and he had created an anchor out of cement, and 59 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: they think that she was tossed overboard with the anchor 60 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: and then it was while before her body washed up 61 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 2: on the beach on the coast and her head was missing. 62 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: Her body was badly decomposed, but they had a lot 63 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: of circumstantial evidence about his behavior before and after, and 64 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 2: he was carrying on two affairs. You might remember the 65 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 2: name Amber Fry that was one of the girlfriends, and 66 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 2: his behavior really really was squirrelly. Just he just screamed 67 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: guilty guy. Also psychopathic, guilty guy. Man without a conscience. 68 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: So anyway, Alex Stone from ABC News is going to 69 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 2: come up in about in about a half an hour 70 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 2: and try to give us whatever is out there now 71 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: about the Innocence Project wanting to free Scott Peterson. They 72 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: want they want to gather evidence, and I guess forced 73 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 2: this case to be reopened to retried or have him released. 74 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: I don't know, very very sketchy story right now in 75 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: terms of details. We're also going to have on later 76 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: at three o'clock. Right at three o'clock, Yeah, we're gonna 77 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,799 Speaker 2: have Ethan Weaver on. Ethan Weaver is a deputy city 78 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: attorney and he's running against the notorious Nithea Ramen. 79 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: Uh. 80 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: Nythia Ramen is a councilwoman who is one of the 81 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: worst counsel people. I guess after Mike Boden was chased 82 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: that office, Nythia Rahman took over as just awful. She's 83 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: the one who would do nothing about the homeless encampment 84 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: in front of a school in Los Vela's there were 85 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 2: there were not only you know, dozens of homeless people 86 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 2: living in the encampment, but the gangs had taken over 87 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: the tents and they were selling drugs and guns out 88 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: of the tents, and it was directly in front of 89 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: the school. And she absolutely refused to do anything about it. 90 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: And then you might remember Sherman Oaks has been besieged 91 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: with all kinds of crazy vagrants, I mean just drug 92 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 2: addicts and mental patients. And you remember the businessman it 93 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 2: was a restaurant owner in Sherman. 94 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: Oaks was was. 95 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 2: There was there was a there was a vagrant with 96 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: a huge bag of poop and he swung it at 97 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: the restaurant owner's car. You remember that that story from 98 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 2: a year or two ago, just you know there said 99 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 2: there's all this poop splattered on the guy's windshield. And 100 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: the restaurant owner, trek Nithia Ramin down with a reporter 101 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 2: from Fox eleven and they found that they and they 102 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 2: kind of ambushed her on camera and she was just cold, 103 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: stone faced. She didn't care that in her district, she's 104 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 2: allowed the vagrants to run and mock where mental patients 105 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: feel comfortable swinging bags of poop at business owners. I mean, 106 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 2: this is uh, she's she's terribly bad. She's with the 107 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 2: Democratic Socialists of America, which is that quasi communist group 108 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: that is infiltrated city council. I don't understand why the 109 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: whole city doesn't take this threat seriously because they now 110 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: control four city council people I believe at a fifteen, 111 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: so they're increasingly and all these people are just politically 112 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: insane and maybe psychologically insane too, but they're anarchists, is 113 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: what it is, and they're trying to destroy the city, 114 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: and you know, in certain districts they're succeeding. So we're 115 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 2: going to talk with the Ethan Weaver, the deputy city attorney, 116 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: because it's out of control. Her district is far flung. 117 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: It goes on both sides of the Santa Monica Mountain range, 118 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: both in the valley and in the La Basin. 119 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: It's kind of a sprawling district. 120 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 2: So that's a couple of the big things that we've 121 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: got going today. And also we're going to have Corbin 122 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: Carson on to talk about that trial in Orange County. 123 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: Do you remember the story this is from twenty twenty 124 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 2: one when a mother was driving her six year old 125 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: son to kindergarten. She was cut off and she she 126 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: flipped the bird at the other driver or at yeah, 127 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,119 Speaker 2: at the other driver a woman. The woman's boyfriend pulled 128 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: out a gun, fired it at Joanna Klunan's car and 129 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: killed her son, Aiden Leos. It was it was really 130 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 2: just really tragic and sad. So Corbin's covering that trial 131 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 2: opening up in Orange County. So good stuff today. Moistline 132 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 2: right eight seven seven moist eighty six, eight seven seven 133 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: moist eighty six. That's eight seven seven six six four 134 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 2: seven eight eight six. And if well, well tomorrow's Friday. 135 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 2: We're gonna play tomorrow. So we still have room for you, 136 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 2: if you're if you're angry enough, you're you're agitated enough, 137 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 2: you have a point of view that you want to 138 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: express eight seven seven moist to eighty six or giving 139 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: away one thousand dollars in minutes, Look at all this, Huh, 140 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: we got more show than time today. 141 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Coebelts on demand from KFI AM 142 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 3: six forty. 143 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: The communists have really run amuck in California. I read 144 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: this story like three times today because I just don't 145 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 2: believe it. 146 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: Do you know? 147 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 2: At the moment, if you live in Beverly Hills, you 148 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 2: cannot get a permit to build, well to. 149 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: Have any construction on your house. 150 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: You can't do any home improvement upgrades in the city 151 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: of Beverly Hills right now because a Superior Court judge 152 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 2: named Curtis Kin has blocked the city from issuing all 153 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: building permits unless it's new development. It's a penalty against 154 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: the City of Beverly Hills, But actually it's a penalty 155 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: against every homeowner because if you're a homeowner, you can't 156 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 2: remodel your house in any way because Beverly Hills committed 157 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: the terrible crime of an insufficient blueprint for affordable housing. 158 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: Now, they apparently are hell bent on. 159 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 2: Forcing wealthy towns and neighborhoods into accepting what they call 160 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 2: affordable housing. But what does that mean accepting poor people? 161 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: Like poor people are going to be forcibly inserted in 162 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 2: wealthy neighborhoods because the state says so, because it's a 163 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 2: lack of equity. So if you buy into a neighborhood 164 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: or a city because you like that it's single family. 165 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 2: Maybe there's a lot of big homes. You got land 166 00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 2: around your homes that is now against californ On a law. 167 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 2: We've talked about this over the years, but it's really 168 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 2: coalescing because the lawsuits are being filed. Judges are upholding 169 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 2: the law and the idea that now you can't live 170 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 2: in a single family neighborhood anymore. 171 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: Somebody may sell. 172 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 2: The house across the street from you and they'll put 173 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 2: up some kind of apartment complex. And and the city 174 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: has been fighting back by simply not not playing ball 175 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 2: with the state. They are not producing blueprints for their 176 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 2: affordable housing plan, or if they do, it's a half 177 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 2: assed blueprint that doesn't really make any sense. They're intentionally 178 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 2: just trying to waste everyone's time, which I applaud they 179 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: should be uh wasting everybody's time because this is nuts. 180 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 4: So uh. 181 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 2: This is one of the worst consequences now of this 182 00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 2: movement to to uh force poor people or worse, wealthy 183 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 2: people to live with poor people. I'm just going to 184 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 2: say it bluntly because that's what it's about. And the 185 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 2: El Segunda Times you know where they stand. So the 186 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 2: story is slanted that there's been very little population growth 187 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 2: in Beverly Hills. In nineteen seventy it was thirty three thousand, 188 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 2: four hundred. Today it's thirty two thousand, four hundred, so 189 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 2: it's almost exactly the same. While in California the number 190 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 2: of residents has doubled to nearly forty million. So at 191 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 2: the La Times and the Communists that run the government 192 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 2: at Sacramento, that's not fair, that's not right. All this 193 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 2: extra population and Beverly Hills hasn't accommodated by creating one 194 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 2: new net home, one new net apartment. There's actually fewer 195 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 2: people living in Beverly Hills than fifty years ago. This 196 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 2: is untenable, and to me, it's not their business. I 197 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 2: think everybody in the world knows that you have to 198 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 2: make a certain amount of money to live in a 199 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 2: wealthy neighborhood. And you either make the money or you don't, 200 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 2: and if you don't, you accept whatever neighborhood you land in. 201 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 2: And you know you're gonna if you're gonna take in 202 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 2: millions and millions of poor illegal immigrants, well what do 203 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 2: you think is going to happen? You're gonna get areas 204 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 2: of the city that are really crowded and really poor, 205 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 2: and then the businesses pay these illegal aliens sub minimum wage. Well, 206 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 2: now they they're giving a ticket to Beverly Hills because 207 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: in Beverly Hills you're forced to build affordable housing. That's nuts, 208 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: and it as a punishment. You can't even put in 209 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: a new kitchen. You can't put in a new bathroom 210 00:13:53,240 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 2: if you live in Beverly Hills. There's no permits. I 211 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 2: what can you get more intrusive than that. I understand 212 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 2: that they have to have permits to make sure all 213 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 2: the buildings are built to a certain code, right, but 214 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 2: what is the state sticking their nose in saying, Wow, 215 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,239 Speaker 2: you don't have enough poor people in your neighborhood. 216 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: You don't have enough cheap apartments. 217 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 5: By the way, it's tough to build affordable housing and 218 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 5: wealthy areas because the land is expensive, the cost of 219 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 5: building the apartments are expensive. 220 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 2: You can't charge enough rent to make these projects work financially. 221 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 2: So this is this is gonna be this is gonna 222 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: be a nasty fight. I mean, I can't believe, especially 223 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: all those wealthy, wealthy, powerful people, they're gonna put up 224 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: with being told they can't remodel their kitchen. And I'm sorry, 225 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 2: I don't understand the hatred for the rich. I mean, 226 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 2: I they are if they are their money. Legally, they're 227 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 2: entitled to spend their money and have a big house. 228 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 2: They worked for it. I hear people like curse, curse 229 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos every day. 230 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: Right, he can't. 231 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 2: I saw go online. Have you seen the photo of him? 232 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 2: When he started out with Amazon. He rented out somebody's garage. 233 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 2: He had a card table and he had a vinyl 234 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 2: banner that said Amazon tacked up to the wall behind him. 235 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 2: Go look at it. That's how he got started out 236 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 2: of this garage. And he had this idea, with the 237 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 2: internet being new, that he could sell books over the internet. 238 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 2: All right, we know what happened. But he did the work, 239 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 2: he took the risk, he had the genius idea, and 240 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 2: he executed it. I don't care if he's worth two 241 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 2: hundred billion dollars and nearly all the people who are 242 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: carping about his wealth feed him more money every day. 243 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: The Amazon on truck is up and down and up 244 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 2: and down, along with the UPS truck and the FedEx truck, 245 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 2: and they're dumping these Amazon packages all over the place 246 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 2: all day long, so everybody's using his service. So he 247 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: deserves the money. And most of the wealth is tied 248 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 2: up in the stock that he owns in the company 249 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: which he built. I mean, you know, from the garage 250 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: and the card table with the with the banner on 251 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 2: the wall. That's just insane, ridiculous, hysterical thinking that you're 252 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 2: supposed to be upset with him for coming up with 253 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 2: a great service that you use every day. All right, 254 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 2: more coming up John Cobelt Show. 255 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI A 256 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 3: six forty. 257 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 2: On the radio one until four and after four o'clock 258 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 2: John Cobelt Show on demand the podcast. We're going to 259 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: go now to Alex Stone. ABC News. ABC had an 260 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 2: exclusive today that the Scott Peterson case has been taken 261 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: up by the La Innocence Project. 262 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: I don't know what this is about, Alex shed some 263 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: light here. 264 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 4: Hey there, John, So yeah, I mean the history of 265 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 4: the Innocence Project. 266 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: Typically they only take. 267 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 4: Things that they truly believe that they can get overturned, 268 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 4: and they have a history of getting things overturned. It 269 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 4: is the Los Angeles chapter of the Innocence Project that 270 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 4: is doing this and in this court filing that we 271 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 4: got today from the court in San Mateo County that 272 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 4: they are making the claim. In fact, I'll read it 273 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 4: says evidence has been discovered that points to mister Peterson's 274 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 4: innocence and points to the actual perpetrators of the crimes 275 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 4: against Lacy and Connor Peterson. They say that there are 276 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 4: many things that police ignored or did not look at 277 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 4: that they want to now see that evidence from the court. 278 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 4: They're not yet making the claim that he should be 279 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 4: released or that he deserves a new trial, but they 280 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 4: are making a claim for discovery to say, show us 281 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 4: what you've got court on a number of different bullet 282 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 4: points of their hitting but they are really focused in 283 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 4: on a burglary that happened across the street from the 284 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 4: Peterson's home around the same time of her disappearance. Police 285 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 4: had long discounted that they said they arrested the guys 286 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 4: had nothing to do with it. The La Innocence Project 287 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 4: is claiming that there may be more to it than 288 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 4: that that, yes, their arrests made in the case. They 289 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 4: want to hear the interviews that were done with the 290 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 4: two the four suspects in that they want to know 291 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 4: about somebody who was seen in a bike on a 292 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 4: bike in the area. Other witnesses say that they saw 293 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 4: seventies looking van in the neighborhood, and the seventies looking 294 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 4: van was found burning down the street a short time 295 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 4: after the crime was committed. So there's a number of 296 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 4: things that they lay out here. They are indicating that 297 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 4: they are going to ask that he be released from 298 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 4: prison now serving life in prison, no longer the death penalty. 299 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 4: They haven't gotten there yet, but a lot of things 300 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 4: are asking the court for all of the evidence that 301 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 4: you cited there. I put the word evidence in quotes. 302 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 4: I remember all that stuff from the original trial. You know, 303 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 4: for twenty one years they've been regurgitating the same incidents 304 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 4: over and over again, the burglary across the street and 305 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 4: so on, that's been investigated and reinvestigated and re reinvestigated 306 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 4: and appealed and reappealed. I mean, I think it's important 307 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 4: to point out to the court. After court he said no, 308 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 4: you're not getting out. Yeah, he got off of death row, 309 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 4: but you know, he said no, that you're not getting 310 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 4: a new trial. And it went to the California Supreme 311 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 4: Court and they said, okay, you know, don't give him 312 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 4: the death penalty because of potential jurym misconduct. But he 313 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 4: stays in prison. So the courts have not seen any 314 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 4: reason to believe that there needs to be a new trial. 315 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 4: But this group is now coming in and saying, well, 316 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 4: we've got you know, new parts of this evidence that 317 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 4: either police had or police didn't know about some of it. 318 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 4: It's this is like eight hundred pages of documents that 319 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 4: we got today of exactly what their arguments are going 320 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 4: to be compared to what they knew in court twenty 321 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 4: years ago. But now the question is going to be 322 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 4: what does the court in San Mateo County do? Does 323 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 4: it say you know what, you're right, we want to 324 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 4: hear your evidence. Does it say we know all of that. 325 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 4: We sorry, no, thank you very much, but we're not 326 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 4: going to do it. What did they do and we 327 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 4: don't know? They just filed all of this. 328 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 2: So this court could order an investigation be reopened or 329 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 2: they could order well, we heard from yeah Peterson's sister 330 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 2: in law today saying that their aim is to get 331 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 2: a new trial and point to they claim who the 332 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 2: real killer was. Now they're saying that they're going to 333 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 2: argue that if it's too expensive to have anue trial, 334 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 2: to let them go free and to let him out 335 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 2: of prison because clearly he didn't get they claim a 336 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 2: fair trial. Now they claim that in the last couple 337 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 2: of years, and you know that then led to all 338 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 2: these courtery rings and it goes back really to the 339 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 2: one juror you remember her, the fire engine red hair, 340 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 2: and that she allegedly didn't tell the whole truth during 341 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 2: the the Vardar process and that she did have a 342 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 2: history with a crime against her and whatnot. So the 343 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 2: court said, all right, so she didn't mention that she 344 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 2: had been the victim of a crime. It doesn't make 345 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: her not reliable as a juror. 346 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 4: But we'll take you off of death row and you 347 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 4: can have life in prison, but not a new trial. 348 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 4: They're coming back now and saying they want a new trial. 349 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 2: That's really bizarre. So there are eight hundred pages of 350 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 2: documents that are being made public here. Yeah, well we 351 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 2: got our hands on them, so you know as public 352 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 2: is that we were able to get them. But it's 353 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of arguments in this a 354 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 2: lot of claims being made about the burning van and 355 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 2: the burglary and sent trackers and DNA and it's all 356 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 2: coming back. You remember Mark Garagos's argument that it was 357 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 2: a satanic cult was in the van and they were 358 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 2: driving around and they kidnapped Lacy Peterson. 359 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, And I mean they're saying it could 360 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 4: have been any number of things. Did they say that 361 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 4: modesto police went in, focused in on Scott Peterson and 362 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 4: then didn't look at anybody else, and you know, made 363 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 4: everybody believe there wasn't anything else or anybody else, and 364 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 4: that they ignored a lot. 365 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: All right, thanks very much. Let you know where it goes. 366 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Alex Stone, ABC News on the Innocence Project 367 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 2: here in Los Angeles, trying to get this case reopened. 368 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 2: Most of the time you get murdered by somebody you know, 369 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 2: and if it's somebody you know, much of the time 370 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 2: it's your husband, your wife, your boyfriend, girlfriend, somebody else 371 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 2: in the family. That's what life is. Only people who 372 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 2: are family or in some kind of romantic relationship can 373 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 2: work up enough anger over feeling betrayed, over feeling wrong 374 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 2: to actually murder. The number of people who are actually 375 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 2: who are picked off the street at random or there's 376 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 2: a random burglary and somebody gets killed. That's a pretty 377 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 2: small number. Most of the murders outside of you know, 378 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 2: domestic killings would be gang murders. People shooting each other 379 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 2: protecting their drug sales, territory in certain neighborhoods. I mean, 380 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 2: that's that's the you know, if you're killed by somebody 381 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 2: you don't know. And even then all these guys know 382 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 2: each other, right, they're just they're just perpetually in a 383 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: state of war with rival gangs and they shoot each 384 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 2: other over money and drugs and territory. So that's one category. 385 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 2: The other category is people in your family people because 386 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 2: people kill, you know, for what basically love or money, 387 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 2: those or two of the base to the most common. 388 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 2: And if you remember, Scott was not enjoying his marriage. 389 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 2: He had a couple of affairs going on. He was 390 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 2: not happy that the kid was on the way, he 391 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 2: was getting older and looks like life wasn't turning out 392 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 2: the way he planned. And his behavior and aguess you know, 393 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 2: you go to the Wikipedia page, that's a good place 394 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 2: to start, and you start reading all the circumstantial evidence 395 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 2: and his behavior before, during, and after the situation. Then 396 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 2: it you know, it becomes clear, there's really there's really 397 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 2: no question. And I remember Garagus at the time just created, 398 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 2: you know, absurd stories. The Satanic Van just one example. 399 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 2: And it was always we'll look over here, and what 400 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 2: about this, look over there. Look, hey we had a burglary. 401 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 2: Hey look there was a van driving by. It's like 402 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 2: stop it. The guy didn't want to be married with 403 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 2: a kid, too much of a burden. He enjoyed playing 404 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 2: around with his girlfriends, and he thought he had a 405 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 2: fool proof plan. He took Lacey out on a boat. 406 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 2: We don't know if she was dead or alive. Took 407 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 2: out on a boat, probably dead, and tied a ninety 408 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 2: pounds cement anchor to her and dropped her into the sea. 409 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 2: And eventually parts of her body washed up. You know, 410 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 2: so his little plan didn't work. He could have spent 411 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 2: the rest of his life free, you know, had the 412 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 2: body remain submerged. But somehow her body detached from the 413 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 2: anchor and the rotted corpse floated up onto the coast. 414 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: You know. 415 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 2: Bad luck for him, his plan didn't follow through. We 416 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 2: got more coming up, oh two o'clock. In fact, we'll 417 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 2: start getting into this into the next segment with Corbyn 418 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 2: Carson coming up after two o'clock on the trial for 419 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 2: the guy who shot a six year old boy while 420 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: his mother was taking him to school. This mother was 421 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 2: cut off in traffic on the fifty five freeway. She 422 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 2: flipped the bird another woman driving, and that woman's boyfriend 423 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 2: pulled out his gun and fired it at Joanna Kloonan's car, 424 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 2: killing her son Aiden. Remember this case from Maya, twenty 425 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 2: twenty one, while the trials starting and Corbyn was there. 426 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am. 427 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 2: Six forty and after two o'clock Corbyn Carson on a 428 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 2: trial dating back, excuse me, a trial dating back to 429 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, when that six year old boy was 430 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: killed when his mom flipped the bird to another driver 431 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 2: and that other driver's boyfriend fired a gun. Bullet hit 432 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 2: Joanna Klunan's son in the back seat they were driving. 433 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 2: She was driving him to kindergarten. It's really sad story. 434 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 2: So the trial began today. That'll come up in a 435 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 2: few minutes. New data from San Francisco. San Francisco continues 436 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 2: to rod Away. Do you know they set a record 437 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 2: eight hundred and six drug overdoses in twenty twenty three. 438 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 2: That is the highest annual number of overdoses ever in 439 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 2: the city, and it's up over one hundred and fifty 440 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 2: from the twenty twenty two total. In twenty twenty two, 441 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 2: they had six hundred and forty nine overdoses. In twenty 442 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 2: twenty three, eight hundred and six overdoses. Can you imagine 443 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 2: how many billions of dollars was spent in San Francisco 444 00:27:53,840 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 2: fighting drugs, trying to help the homeless, all the money 445 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 2: we have put into treatment centers and rehabilitation and outreach, 446 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 2: and they went up from six forty nine to eight 447 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 2: hundred and six. And these are these are overdose deaths. 448 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 2: These are not just overdoses. These are people who died 449 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: eight hundred and six bodies, many of them in the streets. 450 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 2: They there were lawsuits filed against the pharmaceutical companies who 451 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 2: started the opioid craze and the pharmacy chains that facilitated 452 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 2: all the rampant prescriptions. If you ever want to see 453 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 2: a great miniseries about the whole industry, a docudrama, it's 454 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 2: called Dope Sick. It's on Hulu. They made it a 455 00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 2: couple of years ago. It's absolutely shocking, the terrible pharmaceutical executives, 456 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 2: the compromised FDA employees in Washington, the doctors. There was 457 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 2: so much money flowing and basically everyone got bribed. The 458 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 2: doctors were bribed. The one of the FDA bureaucrats was 459 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 2: given a cushy job after he left government to look 460 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 2: the other way, and they got lots of people addicted. 461 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: But you know, that was many years ago. 462 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 2: Now in twenty twenty three, it's or twenty twenty four, 463 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 2: it's the fentanyl, and the fentanyl's coming over the border 464 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 2: like crazy, and it's one hundred percent a democratic policy problem. 465 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: Right. 466 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 2: We have a democratic mayor and a democratic board of supervisors, 467 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 2: democratic mayor in San Francisco, Assembly, State Senate, most of 468 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 2: the congress people they run the Senate, they have the 469 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 2: presidency there, and they're collective wisdom. They've absolutely done nothing 470 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 2: about all the fentnel coming over the border, and they 471 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,479 Speaker 2: do nothing about all the mayhem in the streets and 472 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 2: all the drug addicts dying in the streets eight hundred 473 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 2: and six in a given year. You know, when they 474 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 2: have a plane crash, right and two hundred people die, 475 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 2: what happens they ground all the planes, like what's happened 476 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 2: to Boeing? And the Max eight twenty twenty three was 477 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 2: just crazy. There were two hundred fentanyl deaths in just 478 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 2: the first three months of the year, drug overdose deaths 479 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 2: at eight hundred and six, and the director of the 480 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 2: San Francisco Department of Public Health has thrown up his hands. 481 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 2: Every four and a half minutes someone dies of an overdose. 482 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 2: San Francisco cannot solve this problem alone of record overdose deaths. 483 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 2: And then he gives on to say we need greater 484 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,719 Speaker 2: investments in behavioral health care, mental health, substance use treatment. 485 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 2: We've given billions, We've given billions, and everything has gone up. 486 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: Instead of saying we. 487 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 2: Need more money, more tax money, more of our money, 488 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 2: tell us why with all the money we've paid, all 489 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 2: the extra taxes, the extra propositions, referendums, borrow. Well, we've 490 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 2: done everything here, but nobody enforces the law. If you 491 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: went back to arresting people on the street for being 492 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 2: on drugs and then forcing them into treatment, you or 493 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 2: you don't get out of jail, that was the deal 494 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 2: it used to be. We're arresting you, you have a choice. 495 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 2: You go to jail, you go to treatment. When you 496 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 2: decide to go to treatment, we'll let you out of jail. 497 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 2: That would clean up a lot of this and seal 498 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 2: the border off. They won't do it, and then the 499 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 2: users an excuse to demand more money. They're completely nuts. 500 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 2: And I think twenty twenty four is going to be worse. 501 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 2: And it seems that hardly anybody in San Francisco cares. 502 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 2: And I realize most people don't care about most everything 503 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 2: that goes on in the world. There's only so many 504 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 2: tragedies you could care about, right, I mean, I don't 505 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 2: really care if a guy gets hooked on fentanyl and 506 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 2: dies five hundred miles away, and you don't care either. 507 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 2: Don't pretend most people don't care. But it's all in 508 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 2: the street. It's laying on the sidewalk, it's in the parks, 509 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 2: it's on the roads. 510 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: It's no way to live. And you know that's why 511 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: people and businesses. 512 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 2: Are fleeing out of San Francisco, because you can't live 513 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 2: in a city where eight hundred people a year die 514 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: a drug overdoses, most of them in the street. All right, 515 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 2: we come back Corbyn Carson on that case in Orange County, 516 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 2: where a six year old was killed while his mother 517 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 2: was driving him to kindergarten after she gave the finger 518 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 2: to another driver and then the boyfriend fired a bullet 519 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 2: and killed Johanna Klunan's little son. That's next, Corbin coming up. Hey, 520 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 2: you've been listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast.
