1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:00,920
Speaker 1: Can't.

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 2: I am sixty.

3
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio apps.

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: Mark Thompson sitting in.

5
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, we got news and you just heard

6
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 3: from Deborah about the fact that the jury has reached

7
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 3: a verdict on most of the charges involving Sean you

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 3: can call me Diddy Combs. They have not reached a

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 3: verdict on the racketeering charge. The four other charges sex trafficking,

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 3: the transportation to a game of prostitution, et cetera.

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:35,959
Speaker 2: They have.

12
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: Reached apparently a consensus on that, but there appears to

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 3: be and they've been sent home for the day. Right,

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 3: They've been sent home for the night.

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 4: I guess, and they will be back at it tomorrow.

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure they're going to. I mean, this is

17
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 2: going to be done tomorrow.

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 5: Right.

19
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 4: They want their Fourth of July holidays.

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: You mean they want justice? Isn't that what you mean

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: to say?

22
00:00:59,120 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 4: That's what I meant.

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: They want justice they just wanted before the vacation. Yes, So,

24
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 3: racketeering is a you know, that's the rico that you

25
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 3: hear so much about.

26
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: Racketeering.

27
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 3: Influenced and Corrupt Organizations act is rico, and it basically

28
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 3: means that you're running an organized scheme to commit crimes.

29
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: Either you're running or you're participating in it, right. Usually

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: it's with a bunch of people or some kind of

31
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 3: organized enterprise. Bribery, fraud, drug trafficking, money laundering, violence, These

32
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 3: are all the things that are the racketeering. Usually, again

33
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: you'll a lot in mob trials, in drug trials.

34
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: Right.

35
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: So with Combs, the allegation is that he used his

36
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: businesses and employees or associates of those businesses to run

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: this large pattern of illegal activity. Sexual assault, intimidation, drug

38
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: related activity, the human trafficking. We've heard about all these

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: things in relations to the Sean Combs trial.

40
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: Right.

41
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: So prosecutors are saying that these aren't random. This isn't

42
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: like isolated one offs that we've kind of put together

43
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: in a you know, connect the dots way. This is

44
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: a coordinated system where Shawn Combs Ditty maintained a power,

45
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: a control, and even a profit through these crimes repeatedly.

46
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 3: So they argue that essentially, they're arguing that Ditty is

47
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: like the boss of a criminal enterprise.

48
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: That is what RICO is about. Right.

49
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: So it might have been disguised they would say as

50
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: a legitimate entertainment enterprise, but it's actually a criminal enterprise.

51
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,279
Speaker 3: So people under him, under his control, in his employee,

52
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: helped carry out repeated crimes for him, or they carried

53
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: him out with him. That's how racketeering laws can apply

54
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: to P Diddy. It's about the pattern, the organization, the

55
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 3: ongoing nature of the alleged crimes. It's not just a

56
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: single illegal act. So this is where the jury is

57
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: hung up. But it sounds as though they've not only

58
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: reached a verdict on these other charges, but it sounds

59
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: as though the buzz in the hallway here at iHeart

60
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: the mother Ship, the buzz is earlier today, the buzz

61
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: was he's going to walk. Now the buzz is he's

62
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: maybe going to get wrung up. Sean Homes may end

63
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: up in prison. So all those people whose opinions I

64
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: so respect, who are making their way through the hallway

65
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: going Nope, he's gonna walk, he's getting out. Nope, he

66
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: time served. Now many of those same people are saying no,

67
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: Sean Diddy Combs may face many years in prison.

68
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: That is the conventional thinking right now.

69
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: So we'll talk to Royal Oaks, bottom of this hour

70
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: and we'll get an idea of the legal side of this.

71
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: You know, this is a google able thing, but you know,

72
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: Deborah was mentioning that they are kind of in a

73
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: hurry to get out of there. They've been involved in

74
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: this for a long time. Fourth of July weekend, et cetera.

75
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 3: But here's the google able thing, Like, I wonder what

76
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: percentage of this would be hard you have to phrase

77
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 3: it just the right way, but what percentage of juries

78
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: that come in with a verdict within the first couple

79
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: of days generally render guilty verdicts versus how many render acquittals.

80
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: You know, like whenever there was a you remember, you

81
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: name the high profile case it could be, and you go, oh,

82
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 3: j Simpson, if you want to go there, like they're going,

83
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: let's see, the jury.

84
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: Has been out for three days. What does that mean.

85
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: Does that mean that they, based on that amount of time,

86
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: might offer a fill in the blank verdict, acquittal, a

87
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 3: guilty verdict, et cetera. So here you've got the this

88
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: is on the second day of deliberation and it looks

89
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: like they have a conclusion. Again, statistically, I wonder whether

90
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 3: that would suggest an acquittal or a guilty verdict.

91
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 4: That's a good question for Royal.

92
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: Oh thank you. Oh my good note question for Royal.

93
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: If I forget it, you'll.

94
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: Will I will remind you. Yeah, thank you very much,

95
00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: because I want to know.

96
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: Actually yeah, and you know, when they ask to hear

97
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: transcripts from the testimonies of in this case, this Cassie

98
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 3: Ventura Combs, his former girlfriend, and also the Daniel Phillips

99
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: guy who was a male escort involved in one of

100
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 3: those freak offs. You know, I wonder if that in

101
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 3: itself is anything we can you know, gather might point

102
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 3: to an acquittal or a guilty verdict. So anyway, we'll

103
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: ask Royal bottom of the hour. And again, remember there

104
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: were drugs involved here, there's violence involved here, so there's

105
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 3: a lot here to perhaps support a coherent Rico charge.

106
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: But maybe the jury's feeling like, yeah, it doesn't quite

107
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: maybe meet the standard for the rico conviction. But there

108
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: again the other charges that they have reached a consensus on.

109
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 4: I do like that the jury is taking this seriously,

110
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 4: not because it's this particular case, but I do think

111
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 4: that if you're going to be on a jury, because

112
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 4: I know that some jurors have kind of gotten a

113
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 4: bad rap, but it is nice to see that they're

114
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: they're really taking this seriously and they want to make

115
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 4: sure that they come up with the decision that they

116
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 4: can all live with.

117
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 3: I agree, you know, especially when we see some of

118
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: these verdicts and you examine general jury behavior and it

119
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: seems like they're not really that serious about it.

120
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: So you're right, they're serious.

121
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: But you're also saying that you think they want to

122
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 3: get out of there before the fourth one.

123
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: Well, yes, I mean that that.

124
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: But justice comes second, right after my fourth of July plans.

125
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: Right, I get it. Okay.

126
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: It is the John Coblt Show, Mark Thompson sitting in

127
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: for John KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the

128
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app.

129
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

130
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 6: six forty.

131
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 3: I was looking at the fact that the the community

132
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: in Culver City has rallied around this ice cream vendor.

133
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: You see this guy detained by federal agents. Hundreds of people,

134
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: political leaders at the veteran memorial that gathered to demand

135
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: his release. Enrique, as he's known locally, taken from his

136
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: ice cream cart last week in what witnesses are describing

137
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 3: as an operation involving masked agents in unmarked vehicles. The

138
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: vendor had sold popsicles and pleetas frozen treats made with

139
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 3: fresh fruit at this Culver City park for nearly two decades.

140
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 3: His niece said, right now, my uncle, with so many

141
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 3: people out here, this is so inhumane. What's happening to

142
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: a lot of people. It's not okay. People are criticized

143
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 3: in the manner of the detention, Guys snatched, kidnapped folks, masked,

144
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: unmarked cars, no warrants. Community members describing him as generous,

145
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: often giving free to children who couldn't afford them. They

146
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: acknowledge he was not a US citizen, but they emphasized

147
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 3: that he posted no threat to the community, had no

148
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: criminal record. The whole community here is supporting my uncle,

149
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: said another niece. Not only my uncle, but the Palaterios.

150
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: Everybody in the community grew up with. I guess the

151
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 3: Palataro's are like people who hand out the fruit, the

152
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: frozen fruit. Anyway, family members are collecting character statements. They're

153
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: going to petition for a bond hearing in Texas. That's

154
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: where he's being held. And his niece is optimistic once

155
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: we post bond for him and he's out, we know

156
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: he's going to be okay. It's just one of the cases.

157
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: We're hearing about. The dude with the weed whacker. Remember

158
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: that guy, the landscaper who was struck and arrested. They

159
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: said that they had been assaulted with the weed trimmer,

160
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: and then there was video of the guy just running away.

161
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: But anyway, there was another.

162
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: Violent confrontation appears to be masked federal agents again in

163
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: Santa Anna. Again, this is a little more than a

164
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 3: week after the father of those three US Marines was

165
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 3: beaten into submission. That's the guy was talking about, the

166
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: guy with a weed whacker. In footage of the alleged

167
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 3: immigration enforcement operation, the guy is seen on the ground

168
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,599
Speaker 3: in the middle of the street with two federal officers

169
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: over him. Nearby, another four agents are seen subduing another man,

170
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 3: violently forcing him to the ground, while one of the

171
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 3: officers repeatedly strikes the man with a baton. Why are

172
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 3: they hitting him like that? One of the witnesses watching

173
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 3: from inside a vehicle can be heard saying as they

174
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: recorded the event. As more witnesses arrived, some driving by

175
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: and honking their horns. Two agents moved toward a man

176
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 3: who walks up and begins questions and insults at one

177
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: of them. One of the agents is seen holding his

178
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: baton out horizontally as a blockade. What happened before the

179
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: witnesses began shooting the video is unknown. Both men are

180
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 3: seen in cuffs as they were being led away by

181
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: federal law enforcement. The statement from federal officials suggests that

182
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: one was a Mexican national illegally president of the United States.

183
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: That's a quote.

184
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 3: He fled on foot for roughly a quarter mile before

185
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 3: agents were able to try to arrest him. A violent

186
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: mob then began pummeling law enforcement with the rocks. This

187
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: is all reading from the statement. One individual also assaulted

188
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 3: agents in an attempt to prevent the arrest of this guy.

189
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 3: Ariola is his name, while another started kicking the doors

190
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 3: of the officers' vehicles. All subjects were placed under arrest

191
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: and transported to the Santa Ana detention facility. There have

192
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: been multiple reports of federal enforcement operations in and around

193
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: Santa Anna. The Santa Ana cops are urging residents to

194
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: contact them if they see any abandoned property like vehicles,

195
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 3: food vendor supplies, or other items that they think may

196
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: belong to someone detained by federal agents. But the enforcement

197
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: provisions that are clearly being followed throughout Los Angeles, Orange County.

198
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 3: They are continuing, and you can see how the community

199
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 3: around a lot of these people is not so good

200
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: across the board with what's happening. Again, I think it

201
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: runs the gamut. But what really got people on board

202
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: the immigration train, I think was what the southern border.

203
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: I mean, it just looked like such a problem joke.

204
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: It was.

205
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 3: Largely it seemed undefended, and it was a stream of

206
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 3: people coming across it.

207
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: Now it's sealed.

208
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: Should have been sealed, and I think Democrats would have

209
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 3: helped them, says I don't know what he won the election,

210
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 3: but they would have helped themselves if they've been more

211
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 3: aggressive in that regard. But to now you have ICE

212
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 3: agents and there was a big bump for a homeland

213
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 3: security you probably saw it in this big beautiful bill,

214
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 3: a lot more money going into that world, and now

215
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 3: you're seeing aggressive detainment of so many people who most

216
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: in the community are saying, Hey, I do know have

217
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 3: any problem with that guy? Why are you getting rid

218
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: of that guy? A man who worked as a translator

219
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 3: for US troops in Afghanistan is being detained. Federalations in

220
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: San Diego took him in. The man's name is Sayed Nasser.

221
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 3: He was arrested by ICE agents following a mandatory immigration

222
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 3: hearing at the Federal courthouse and downtown San Diego. He

223
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 3: showed up at the courthouse as he was supposed to.

224
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 3: He was again a translator for US troops in Afghanistan.

225
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: His attorney says that he has a good chance of

226
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: proving he belongs in the US, but he's very despondent

227
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 3: as he remains held in custody while he awaits that

228
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: court process. That's a glimpse of some of what's going on,

229
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: and that's just in the last week. When we come back,

230
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: Royal Oaks joins us, we'll talk about the Diddy Jerry

231
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 3: wavering on the racketeering charges having reached it would seem

232
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: a verdict on the other charges, and what that might

233
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: mean for Sean Diddy Combs and his legal future. It

234
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 3: is the John Cobelt Show, Mark Thompson sitting in on

235
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 3: KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

236
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

237
00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 6: six forty.

238
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 3: Mark Thompson here for John Cobelt, who vacations this week. Well,

239
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: the news came across about an hour ago that the

240
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: jurors in the Sean Diddy Comb's trial have reached a

241
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: verdict on four of the charges. They seem hung up

242
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: on the rico charge, the racketeering charge.

243
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: Someone who can sort this all.

244
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 3: Out is here with us now, Royal Oaks, Hi, Royal, Hey, Mark.

245
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 5: Until you might take in a second. But I just

246
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 5: have to say, whenever I'm on with you, I feel

247
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 5: like it's James Old Jones interviewing Pewee Herman. So I'm

248
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 5: going to get over that.

249
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: Thank you, go ahead.

250
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, this Diddy jury, this shocked everybody. I mean

251
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 5: I thought that either they were going to find him

252
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 5: not guilty, like in two or three hours, you know,

253
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 5: we're out of here, get out of dodge, or you

254
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 5: know they'd slung through. They keep asking for more read back.

255
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 5: So here's what they did today. They announced a few

256
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 5: hours ago, Hey, honor, we've reached agreement on four counts

257
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 5: sex trafficking and transporting women across state lines for illicit purposes.

258
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 5: But we just can't agree on that racketeering criminal enterprise thing,

259
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 5: so may we go home? And the judge said, no,

260
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 5: you may not go home. You try harder, you work

261
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 5: on it. So they're working on it. They could have

262
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 5: worked into the evening mark, but they are going to

263
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 5: come back tomorrow morning. And here's the problem for comes

264
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 5: we're guessing, we're speculating. But if they found him guilty

265
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 5: of the lesser counts, well it would make sense that

266
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 5: may maybe they're struggling with racketeering. But if they found

267
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 5: him not guilty of the lesser counts, which of course

268
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 5: he's hoping for, why would they have trouble with the

269
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 5: big enchalade of the say yeah, if you had to guess,

270
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 5: I would say they probably said, Okay, he's guilty, but

271
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 5: we can't agree on that on that racketeering' is like

272
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 5: twenty years till life. So we'll see. He's got a

273
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 5: very uncomfortable tossing and turning night in the Manhattan Federal jail.

274
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's already a place where you're probably tossing and

275
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 3: turning to begin with. It's not the most comfortable place

276
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 3: for what I was reading. But that really does put

277
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 3: the specific narrative in place. So now if you were

278
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: betting on such things, I mean, just you know, it

279
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 3: seems as though likely that he'll end up.

280
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: Getting a guilty verda.

281
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 3: Let me just ask you the assuming that they vote

282
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 3: against it being a Rico situation, the charges that he

283
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 3: would then endure a guilty verdict on the other four

284
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 3: that's enough to send him away for a long time.

285
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, for a long time. So sex trafficking is actually

286
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 5: fifteen years to life, but usually get closer to ten

287
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 5: to twelve based on a judge's discretion. Transporting women, you know,

288
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 5: it's a maximum of ten years, usually get two or

289
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 5: three years. But you know there are two women involved.

290
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 5: His girlfriend camp sees a tarrapus. The woman goes by

291
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 5: the name Jane in court, and so you know, he

292
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 5: could be looking at fifteen, twenty twenty five years even

293
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 5: without the big one. And as for the big one, Mark,

294
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 5: you know, if they come back tomorrow, as is likely

295
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 5: unless they change their mind, if they come back tomorrow

296
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 5: and say you're on, they tried to, we tried and

297
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 5: they just can't do it, judge will probably say, okay,

298
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 5: we're gonna have a second trial, because that's usually what

299
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 5: happens if it's the first trial, it's very rare that it.

300
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 5: Judge says, okay, they couldn't agree, just SMIs. So that

301
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 5: means he I mean, it's the ultimate Lewis lose for it.

302
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 5: He's found guilty of the small charges, the smaller charges,

303
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 5: and then there's another trial in two or three months.

304
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 5: This is total speculation. He may have been found not guilty. Sure,

305
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 5: you know, maybe they're confused, Maybe they just you know,

306
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 5: have a different perspective about racketeering. You don't know, but

307
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 5: it's really nervous time for Sean cong.

308
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 3: They had a hiccup early on in the first day.

309
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 3: They end up in the first hour. I think it

310
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: was there was a question about a juror and an

311
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: instruction wasn't there.

312
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 5: How weird was that? So the foreman one hour into

313
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 5: the deliberations yesterday send a note to the judge saying, hey,

314
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 5: you know you're a twenty five. We think he should

315
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 5: kick him off. He's not really able to deliberate. Well,

316
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 5: why is that? Well, this is a really strong accent.

317
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 5: You know, we can't communicate with him. Really, you even

318
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 5: have a lunch with these people for seven weeks and

319
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 5: now an hour to deliberations you decide to be he

320
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 5: can't communicate that suggested. You know, it's going to be

321
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 5: hard for these folks to agree because you know they say,

322
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 5: you know, life is junior high clicks, and you know,

323
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 5: I don't like this position because I don't like that

324
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 5: person with that position. But wow, they're unanimous on four

325
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 5: of the five counts. Anyway, they got past the European accent.

326
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 5: Apparently the judge said, settle down, just you know, you'll

327
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 5: get along five.

328
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 3: And apparently the judge is right. So I want to

329
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 3: quickly just pivot you to the Brian Coburger case. That's

330
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 3: the Idaho murder. I mean, these University of Idaho students

331
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 3: that were murdered in their sleep, four of them. It's

332
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 3: a grizzly, awful thing. And I wanted to ask you

333
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 3: a deal has been made, it would seem, but the

334
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 3: family feels as they were left out of conversations around

335
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: whether or not a deal should be done.

336
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, the deal is the prosecution is agreed with the

337
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 5: defense that if this guy will plead guilty and go

338
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 5: to jail forever, no parole, life, then no death penalty.

339
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 5: And the families, some of them are not happy because

340
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 5: they think they wanted this guy to be executed. And

341
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 5: their attitude is, you know, he's going to wake up

342
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 5: every morning and look at the sunshine through the bars

343
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 5: and our family members are dead, and you can't blame

344
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 5: them for feeling that. We don't know why the prosecution

345
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 5: would give up on a case with enormous DNA evidence.

346
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 5: I mean, this guy was clearly guilty, and we know

347
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 5: how Alverdy claims that he has Asperger's, a form of autism.

348
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 5: He's on the spectrum. The prosecution man thought, you know,

349
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 5: that's going to be enough to hang up the jury

350
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 5: and as a result, you know, no deal.

351
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 3: That's just why I hate it when people mention aspars

352
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: and autism. My nephews on the Asperger's autism scale. He's

353
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 3: a brilliant, productive, amazing guy. You know, like there's no

354
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: need to even mention that he's on the Aspergers. I

355
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: always feel like it's kind of a smear on those

356
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 3: who have Aspergers and an autism of any kind because

357
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: there are more and more people are diagnosed with it.

358
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 5: You know, well, that's a good point, and plus, I mean,

359
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 5: let's assume that the guy is on the spectrum to

360
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 5: the point where he has no empathy and you know,

361
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 5: doesn't care about people. Well, couldn't you say that about

362
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 5: most murderers? Are probably most killers sure don't don't have

363
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 5: any empathy. So is that a reason why we wouldn't

364
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 5: execute him?

365
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 3: So bottom line though, is this deal is kind of done,

366
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 3: and then everything the family's saying is just sort of

367
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 3: the stuff of things that are set around these kinds

368
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 3: of deals, and it just won't have any effect on

369
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: whether or not the judge ultimately accepts the deal.

370
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 5: Exactly. They're very unhappy that their wishes weren't taken into consideration,

371
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 5: that weren't consulted properly, and it's a ninety nine point

372
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 5: nine percent chance the judge will bless the plea deal.

373
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 5: So theoretically you could say no, I think there's a

374
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 5: big strong case for death. Fundaly, you guys are going

375
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 5: to travel youking it, but it ain't gonna happen.

376
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: Royle, you're the best. Thanks for spending a few minutes

377
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 3: with us. Always appreciate you throwing in thank.

378
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 5: You, thank you, appreciate it all right.

379
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: Roy loaks from ABC News, And that's the story on

380
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 3: both Diddy and the Coldberger trial. When we come back.

381
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 3: We wrap up around here and maybe a word with

382
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 3: Conway next as well. It is the Mark Thompson sitting

383
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 3: in for John Coldbelt. I never know, I know, it's

384
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 3: just what can I say? Staggering to the finish line.

385
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 3: It's the John Cobbot Joe Mark Thompson sitting in on

386
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 3: KFI AM six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

387
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

388
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 6: six forty.

389
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 3: It's the co Belt Show. Thompson here, just finishing up.

390
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 3: Noticed it's July first that is celebrated as a.

391
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 2: Bobby Bonia Day.

392
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 3: And the only thing you need to know about Bobby

393
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 3: Bonia Day, if you don't know what it is, is

394
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 3: that it is a day that has been given his

395
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 3: name and branded with the Bobby Bonia name because of

396
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 3: a deferred payment that he gets.

397
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: He was a former Mets ballplayer.

398
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 3: The Mets bought out his contract essentially, and they agreed

399
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 3: to defer the remaining salary with interest, leading to annual payments,

400
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 3: and these payments go until twenty thirty five. The payment

401
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 3: is one point one nine million dollars on today, July first,

402
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 3: and I think it was embarrassing to the Mets for

403
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: a long time, but now they kind of celebrate it,

404
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 3: you know. I think in New York it's kind of

405
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: a big deal. But instead of paying him five point

406
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 3: nine million on his contract, they agreed to defer the

407
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: payments with eight percent interest over twenty five years. And

408
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: that's why every July, right, Eric, that's what this day is. Yep,

409
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 3: Bobby Bonia Day.

410
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 7: You know what's coming up in twenty thirty four, what's

411
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 7: that show Hao Tani day? The Dodgers are gonna have

412
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 7: to pay up their deferred payments to show Hey, starting

413
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 7: in twenty thirty four. Wow, so he's getting paid two

414
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 7: million dollars a year up until twenty thirty four, and

415
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 7: then in twenty thirty four, the Dodgers are going to

416
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 7: have to pay him sixty eight million dollars till twenty

417
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,239
Speaker 7: forty three. So the Dodgers are going to have their

418
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 7: own Bobby Bonio Day. Was Shoe Hao Tani.

419
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: Wow, you're right, And it's even as a far more

420
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 3: expensive day as it turns out.

421
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's worth it.

422
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it is worth I mean, he really

423
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 3: is paying dividends to the Dodgers. I'm talking about not

424
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 3: only I'm leaving aside as a ballplayer, just as a

425
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 3: marketing thing.

426
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: There's no question.

427
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, in his first season last year, I believe the

428
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 7: Dodgers made like one hundred and fifty million dollars in

429
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 7: advertising revenue just off of.

430
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 3: You know, every time battery gets up to Eric's point

431
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 3: and you see all these placards and by now you

432
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 3: can they add them, you know, just to it's a

433
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: technical ad, right, they bring it up on like a

434
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 3: chroma key type thing, and all of these ads pop

435
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 3: up when everybody's at bat. Well, when Shohey is at bat,

436
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 3: there are twice as many of those things, and they're

437
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: cycling through much more quickly. They're clearly selling all of

438
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 3: that signage, that electronic signage. And so you're right, just

439
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 3: the uptick in revenue far outpaces their financial commitment to him,

440
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 3: even as heavy as it is. So I ran across

441
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 3: one thing that I wanted to leave you with just

442
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 3: because it peaked my curiosity. The question is why aren't

443
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: Italians as obese as Americans? That's the headline. I thought, Oh,

444
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 3: I didn't know that the Italians aren't as obese as Americans,

445
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 3: but it's not what they eat. They say, it's a

446
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 3: whole lifestyle thing. And Italians eat more fish than Americans do,

447
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 3: sixty four pounds per person per year. Americans have forty

448
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: nine pounds on average per year. They drink quite a

449
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 3: bit less alcohol. It's noted here. This is again according

450
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 3: to the World Health Organization, and according to the International

451
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,239
Speaker 3: Pasta Organization. And yeah, I didn't know there was an

452
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 3: International pasta organization either. Italians eat more pasta than anyone

453
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 3: on Earth, fifty one point two pounds per person per year,

454
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 3: Americans nineteen point four pounds. So vegetables are big part

455
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 3: of the Mediterranean diet. Italians don't really eat more vegetables

456
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 3: than Americans do, but they eat much less meat Americans

457
00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 3: eat sixty seven percent more. Italians also eat slightly added sugar.

458
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 3: It's noted seventy one pounds per person. God, it still

459
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: seems like a lot compared to seventy four point three

460
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 3: pounds in the US. So we have like three pounds

461
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 3: of sugar more. Italians drink less soda. It's hard to

462
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 3: find comparable data, but US consumers buy an average of

463
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 3: about thirty seven gallons of soda a year about three

464
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 3: times as much as Italians do, and they certainly don't

465
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 3: eat low carb right with all that positive, but Italians

466
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 3: get a slightly higher percentage of calories from carbs than

467
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 3: Americans do. Anyway, the American style weight gain, they say,

468
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 3: is that really more than anything. We just eat more

469
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 3: than they do. It's not that we eat differently, it's

470
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: just that we eat more. And I get it. I

471
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 3: hate to say, it's kind of one of the things

472
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 3: I like about this country. We have a lot of

473
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 3: it's you know, it's big portions. It's like it's like

474
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: we're all in Texas, man, you know, as much as

475
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 3: you want. But I guess the putting a governor on

476
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 3: your intake is the key part. And so even within Italy,

477
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 3: Northern Italy, southernly, it all changes. But the food culture

478
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 3: of Italy apparently doesn't lead to the obesity problems that

479
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 3: we have in the US. And it relates to portion size,

480
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: I guess at the end of it all. Anyway, a

481
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: hefty portion of the Conway Show, O wait you check
