And today was a wild day in New York. 23 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: Not only is the Trump jury selection continuing, but across 24 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: the street in a park, a guy named Max Azarello 25 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: from Florida set himself on fire. And he's got a 26 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: story behind him, calls himself an investigative researcher. And he 27 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: walked into a park and he poured some liquid on 28 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: him on his body, an accelerant, and then set himself ablaze. 29 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: And there were two CNN reporters who were broadcasting live 30 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: from in front of the courthouse, and we're going to 31 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: play you some audio as they discovered that a man 32 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: had set himself on fire across the street. I think 33 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: also one of the Fox reporters ran over and tried 34 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: to help put the fire out on the guy. 35 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: All that ahead, But. 36 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,399 Speaker 1: Since the jury selection is continuing, we wanted to talk 37 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: with Royal Oaks, ABC News legal analyst about the state 38 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: of the selection. Let's get Royal on now. Royal, how 39 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: are you? 40 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: I'm doing great, John, And yeah, just when you think 41 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 3: things can't get any weird or I mean, the hardcore 42 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: legal news is the Jurwis selection is actually complete. They finished, 43 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 3: They've got the twelve jurors, the six alternates. But I mean, 44 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 3: is this Saigon in nineteen sixty eight burning himself up. 45 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. 46 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: I don't know about you, John, but the question on 47 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: my mind, and I think a lot of people, Hey, 48 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 3: is he a Trump's jersey a Biden guy? And now 49 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: we know the man on fire hates both of them. 50 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 3: He put a manifesto up on the internet. I guess 51 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: when you're going to burn yourself up. 52 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 4: It's not just a blog poster, a Facebook deal, it's 53 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 4: a manifesto. He says Trump is with Biden and they're 54 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 4: about to fascist coup of us. I know that was 55 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 4: a verb fascist, stream active protest. He is to draw 56 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 4: attention to an urgent and important discovery. We're victims of 57 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 4: a totalitarian con So yeah, very very bizarre. But you 58 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 4: know the big news is, yeah, as you said that, 59 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 4: the jury is any alternates are important because they'll step 60 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 4: in if the regular jurors that gets sick or have 61 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 4: some commitment or something. And by the way, if the 62 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 4: court runs out. I'm sure you know this from your 63 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 4: coverage of trials. I remember seeing at the oj civil 64 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 4: trial back in Santa Monica back in the day. If 65 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 4: they run out of alternates, it's over, it's a mistrial 66 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 4: and have to start all over. A lot of people 67 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 4: sacked because the voters and presumably the jury pool. It's 68 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 4: basically ninety to ten against Trump in New York City. 69 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 4: But you know, whether it's stacked or not, these jurors 70 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 4: are ready to go Monday morning, probably opening statements. 71 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: One thing I noticed reading the jury the summary of 72 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: some of the jurors background, because the judge has told 73 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: the media not to put too much detail in there 74 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: so that these jurors can't be identified. But what I 75 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: noticed is many of these people claimed that they hardly 76 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: watch the news or they don't watch the news at all, 77 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: like they don't know what's going on out there. Is 78 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: that credible? 79 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 3: Well, I don't think it is credible in the sense 80 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 3: that we have been immersed like a tea bag in 81 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: a cup of tea in the whole Trump situation, and 82 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 3: it's hard to imagine. I mean, just think of our 83 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 3: own personal experiences. Do you ever run into anybody whose 84 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 3: attitude when Trump's name comes up is oh, well, you know, 85 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't really pay much. I'm kind 86 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 3: of new to me. 87 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 2: I say, I've never heard that. I mean, I don't know. 88 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: Maybe it's the circles I run in, but I can't 89 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: get away from people talking about Trump. It's almost like 90 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: a compulsive tick some people have. 91 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: You know, it's either Trump derangement syndrome or you're in maga. 92 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 3: And of course there are a lot of people in 93 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 3: the middle, but I think even the people in the 94 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 3: middle have pretty strong opinions. And you know my problem 95 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 3: with this week, John, is I think there's this myth 96 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 3: of the fair duror over and over. Oh I understand 97 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 3: your opinions, but can you be fair? Can you set 98 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 3: them aside? Almost always? Yeah? Right? Where do I sit it? 99 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: What's for lunch? 100 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 4: You know? 101 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 3: Do you have a good agent for my book? 102 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: If if you really were committed to putting him in prison, 103 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: or you were committed to getting him off, of course 104 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: you'd lie and pretend that you've you've never seen a 105 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: TV newscast in your life, you barely know who Trump is. 106 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 2: That's what you would do. 107 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 3: Here's here's my idea has never gotten traction, John, why 108 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 3: not lie detector tests? Now, studies show they are ninety 109 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 3: five percent right, So because they're not one hundred percent, 110 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 3: we don't put people in prison. Okay, but we're not 111 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 3: putting lying jurors in jail. We're sending them home. So 112 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 3: I don't know why we don't install the machines. You know, 113 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: maybe a little minor shock for fun, but basically that 114 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 3: would be a way to figure out. And let's face it, 115 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 3: virtually every duror lies, every witness lies. I don't want 116 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 3: to say the lawyers lie. We'll stop it. 117 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,679 Speaker 2: I'll say that, I'll say the lawyer's lie. 118 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: Well, I know, I've always found I've always found trials 119 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: to be theater, this weird theater, theater where everyone plays 120 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: pretend and and you know, defense lawyers often have guilty clients. 121 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say, and that they create 122 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: an alternate universe, and that both sides are trying to 123 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: emotionally manipulate the jurors, some of whom are not the 124 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: sharpest tools in the box. In fact, what you want 125 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: is somebody that you could emotionally manipulate, somebody who's maybe 126 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: not that sophisticated with their intelligence. That's what you want 127 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: on a jury because they're much more persuadable. They're much 128 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: more easy to manipulate. 129 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 3: Right, Oh, it's absolutely theater. I mean as a as 130 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 3: a trial lawyer at time cases for decades, you're like 131 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 3: a movie director or screenwriter. You're you're choreographing the whole thing, 132 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 3: from the attitude and the facial expressions to what you wear. 133 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 3: You know, what kind of shoes you are. Jurors have commented, oh, 134 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 3: I knew that lawyer's amount of town because he wore 135 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 3: the same pair of shoes every day. You know, the 136 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: CSI effect with all the whiz bang visual aids. It 137 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 3: is absolutely theater. And you know it's just condensed within 138 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 3: a few days or a few weeks of a dispute 139 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 3: that's been going on for decades, and the opening statements 140 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: should be interesting. It's not a time for argument. It's 141 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: just this is what the facts will show, and you 142 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 3: know there's a little lawyer expression. Seventy percent of the time, 143 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 3: jurors make up their mind after the opening and do 144 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: not change their mind. Here, I'm thinking people have already 145 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 3: pretty much made up their mind. Maybe ninety ninety five percent, 146 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: So I don't know how important the openings actually will be. 147 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: And then afterwards everybody pretends that they analyzed all the 148 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: minutia of the evidence. 149 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 3: Right, because they don't want to seem stupid. And you remember, 150 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: after the oj jury spent you know, about an hour 151 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,679 Speaker 3: delibrating because the rest of the time they were together, 152 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 3: they ordered him sandwiches and picked a foreman. They were 153 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: very embarrassed about the fact of the whole world said, 154 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 3: are you kidding me? Nine months of an incredibly complex, 155 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 3: you know, DNA business and you took an hour to decide. 156 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 3: And so yeah, they're very sensitive. So when they get interviewed, 157 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 3: but the press or the lawyers get to talk to them, 158 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 3: they want to say, oh, yeah, we'll be very careful attention, 159 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: and we can do this, that and the other. And 160 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 3: in fact, a lot of them, you know, they knew 161 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 3: what they were going to do even before it start. 162 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 2: How long is this trial going to go? 163 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 3: About six weeks, so we should get a verdict about 164 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: the middle of June. And I got to tell you 165 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: an interesting inside baseball deal. John is Trump has a 166 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 3: secret weapon here. If he is convicted, only of the 167 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 3: misdemeanor and not the felony part, And that's a possibility 168 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 3: they could split the baby. The misdemeanor had a two 169 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 3: year statute of limitations that expired four years before da 170 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 3: Alvin Bragg charged him. So Trump could get an appellate court. 171 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 3: You know, Mershan's not going to cut him any rigs. 172 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 3: He could get an appellate court to toss the conviction 173 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 3: out if it's just a misdemeanor. 174 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: If the statue of the limitations expired, then why is 175 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: it even up for. 176 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 2: Up for debate? Now? Why hasn't it been dispassed? 177 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 3: Great, great question, because it's a very weird Blendoh prosecution. 178 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 3: The prosecution says that it is a misdemeanor. If you 179 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 3: falsified records, it's a felony. If you falsified records with 180 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 3: intent to commit a second crime like election fraud. Oh, 181 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: you didn't report one hundred and thirty thousand dollars Stormy 182 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: Daniel's campaign contributions. So you're right. If it were just 183 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 3: a misdemeanor, it should have been tossed out. But because 184 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: it's a blend of the two, the court allows it 185 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 3: to go forward. But if the judge if the jury 186 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 3: does come back and say, you know, he falsified the records. 187 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 3: It wasn't really reimbursement, it wasn't really legal fease. It 188 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 3: was reimbursement of Stormy's mother money. But if they then say, 189 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 3: but there was no felony because the prosecution failed to 190 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 3: prove a second crime, at that point, I think the 191 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 3: appellate court could toss it out. And of course, even 192 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 3: if he is convicted of the felony, you know, public 193 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 3: opinion polls say at this point, Stormy Daniels, really it's 194 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 3: the least important and the weakest of the four criminal cases, 195 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 3: may not even swing too many votes against Donald. 196 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't believe a paperwork crime is going 197 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: to get this much attention in this longer trial, this 198 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: big of penalty. I can't believe he would go to 199 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: prison over this. 200 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: But will thank you. 201 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: You're absolutely you're right. And by the way, John, if 202 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 3: I could be permitted one quick plug, I've got a 203 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 3: podcast called Too Many Lawyers with my son, and we're 204 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 3: going to explore the possibility that Trump might be able 205 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 3: to get the whole case dismissed if it's just a misdemeanor. 206 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 3: On the next too many lawyers episode. 207 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: Too many lawyers.

Last I heard, he's in very critical condition, 311 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: as you would expect, but he was not yet dead, 312 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: and that could have changed. Since I heard that, they 313 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: have reporters have done a little bit of research to 314 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: see who this guy was. There is a nonprofit group 315 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: called Strong Towns and they had a blog post in 316 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen which features Max as a rebo announces him 317 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: as their new growth manager, and in a bio, Azarello 318 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: talks about his childhood town in Loy Island, New York, 319 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: a charming, friendly, eclectic community and Azareela's passions include chess, 320 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: creative writing, and medieval Scandadavian poetry. 321 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 2: But it appears he. 322 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: Was insane because his blog post is kind of incomprehensible 323 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: gibberish about. 324 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 2: All kinds of conspiracies. 325 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: He threw a stack of pamphlets into the air right 326 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: before he doubted himself, which included links to a substack 327 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: newsletter that he wrote called the Ponzi Papers. I mean, 328 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: that is the kind of guy who sets himself on fire, 329 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: has so obsession with all kinds of crazy ideas and beliefs. 330 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: There's a lot of those people around, and I guess 331 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: he wanted to draw attention to his substack newsletter.

And you're wondering what would be so 504 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: urgent and so important that you would set yourself on fire, 505 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: he writes, and this is in bold. We are victims 506 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: of a totalitarian con and our own government, along with 507 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: many of their allies, is about to hit us with 508 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: a apocalyptic fascist world coup. These claims sound like a 509 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: fantastical conspiracy theory, but they are not. They are proof 510 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: of conspiracy. I'm going to skip around a little bit, 511 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: but he goes on to say last March, a billionaire 512 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: named Peter Thel and he is a Silicon Valley tech billionaire, 513 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: started a bank run on Silicon Valley Bank. I knew 514 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: enough about Thel that I found this incredibly suspicious. My 515 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: hunch was that it was intentional. I couldn't fathom why. 516 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: I have been investigating online and quickly found crypto currencies 517 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: fingerprints all over it. The bank run occurred just days 518 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: after Silvergate Bank, which catered almost exclusively to crypto companies, collapsed, 519 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: and he writes that cryptocurrencies are first planetary multi trillion 520 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: dollar Pozzi scheme. It was created for this purpose by 521 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 1: a laundry list of rich and powerful people out of Stanford, 522 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley, and Harvard Facebook. The March twenty three bank 523 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: failures were all intentional. The banks were used to move 524 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: out stolen Ponzi money. When the Ponzi scheme goes insolvent, 525 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: it will take down half the stock market. The perpetrators 526 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: use their major companies to pipe into the blockchain so 527 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: they could funnel money from the crystal from the crypto exchanges. 528 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: This includes Google, Tesla, Apple, PayPal, Facebook, Disney, Walmart, target In, Bev, Zoom, 529 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: and countless others. It is the Ponzi scheme that is 530 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: so large it created global inflation. And he go, let's say, 531 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: in order to explain well, he talks about the stocks 532 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: going up so incredibly high. In order to explain this anomaly, 533 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: our criminal government unleashed COVID on the world and told 534 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: us these were the stay at home stocks. 535 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 2: I see. 536 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: So these were the stocks that would benefit if we 537 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: were all stuck in our house. And so the COVID, 538 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:03,239 Speaker 1: the COVID pandemic was just a cover story. And then 539 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: he delves into the Clinton Global Initiative, that's Clinton's public 540 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: policy organization, and He says that there are some Trump 541 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: associates involved in this, and and he goes off into 542 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: a side rant about Bill Clinton's speech nominating Michael Ducacis 543 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty eight for the presidency, that Clinton was 544 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: secretly on the side of George H. W. Bush, That 545 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: the Democratic and Republican division has been entirely manufactured ever since. 546 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: Clinton is with Bush, Gore's with Bush, Trump is with Hillary, 547 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: and so on, and this is a secret kleptocracy. Then 548 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: he starts quoting Simpson's cartoons. He starts laying out some 549 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: Simpsons episodes that I guess gives some insight to what's 550 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: going on. And this has been going on since nineteen 551 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: eighty eight. Social media, owned by crypto criminals Mark Zuckerberg 552 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: and Elon Musk, has flooded with nonsense conspiracies theories to 553 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: remind us we're hopeless, helpless, anxious, depressed, ironic, scared, epathetic, escapists, lonely, 554 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: misguided and jaded. Wow, you see if there's anything else here? 555 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: And with this a sharp rise and apocalyptic messaging. Climate 556 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: change will kill us all. COVID will kill us, All 557 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: vaccines will kill us, all AI will kill us, all 558 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: we're bombarded with existential crises with no solutions. 559 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 2: And he's got a point there. 560 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: The truth is we are in a totalitarian doomsday cult. 561 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: Oh I see now, So he thinks the elites have 562 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: behind the scenes created a situation where we're all frightened 563 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: by anything from climate change to COVID to vaccines to 564 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: AI and they've manipulated the financial world so they can 565 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: move money out of banks. The banks collapse, the money 566 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: goes into cryptocurrencies. 567 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 2: And why on earth would our elites do this? 568 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: There are many reasons, but the simplest is because capitalism 569 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: is unsustainable and they know it. And then he goes back, 570 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: starts talking about CIA and the Manson family murders and 571 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: Walt Disney and the Beatles and wow, I mean you 572 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: can tell he's he's got some intelligence there, but his 573 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: brain go goes because, hey, wire, although you know you read, 574 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: I just went through this stuff quickly, and I'm find 575 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: myself gone. He's not wrong about that. Yeah, he's got 576 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: a point there. Well, yeah, that's possible.

We're going to play a little audio from 586 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: it about when to Pega Canyon Boulevard when that landslide 587 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: is going to be cleared. You're not going to be 588 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: happy if you live on the West Side of Los Angeles. 589 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: I'll tell you about it we come back. 590 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM 591 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 5: six forty. 592 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: Steve Garvey coming on after two o'clock and he's running 593 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: for Senate against Adam Schiff, and he survived the first round. 594 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: He and Schiff made it into the finals in November. 595 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: And we're going to talk to Steve Garvey coming up 596 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: in just minutes. So if you've tried, if you've tried 597 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: to go home to the West Side or the West Valley, 598 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: not just the West Side, but the West Valley. Over 599 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: the last six weeks or so, it's been nearly impossible. 600 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: I take the one on one home every day to 601 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: get from Burbank to the West Side, and the traffic, 602 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: it's almost doubled my commute time, and I'm going three 603 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: miles an hour, four miles an hour, zero miles an hour, 604 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: and it's all due to the Tipanga Canyon Boulevard shutdown. 605 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: Tibanga Canyon Boulevard goes from the West Valley up over 606 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: the mountains into Malibu and you don't know how important 607 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: road that is until they close it down and has 608 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: all these ripple effects because the people who live in 609 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: the West Valley are in Calabasas or Thousand Oaks. They 610 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: use that road to get into Malibu and they go 611 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: south into Santa Monica and Venice, which has tons of jobs, 612 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: especially tech jobs. 613 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of people and a lot of you. 614 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: Know, backed up on the four or five every day, 615 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: and then some of them sneak across the Canyon Road 616 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: into maliboum come down pch. Well, now they can't do that, 617 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: so that's even more traffic on the four or five 618 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: going south in the morning, and then a lot of 619 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:19,720 Speaker 1: traffic coming home. These people who work in veniceon Santa Monica. 620 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 1: They gotta go down up the four or five north 621 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 1: and then take the one oh one to go west 622 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: and try to get to their homes. They can't do 623 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: the cut through over the mountain by going up to 624 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: Malibu and cutting over to the east. So it's a nightmare, 625 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: and it's backed up on all the secondary roads, all 626 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: the boulevards, all the side streets, neighborhood cutthroughs. I try 627 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: to get into my neighborhood and I count up to 628 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: eighty cars lined up trying to get out of a 629 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: residential side street and make a turn on the sunset 630 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: because they want to get to the four or five 631 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: to the one on one. And then I find out 632 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: today and you're going to hear NBC four reporter Macy 633 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: Jenkins say that Tobeka Canyon Boulevard is going to be 634 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: closed until when play the Cup one. 635 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 8: This to Penga Canyon Road, of course, is still shut down. 636 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 8: And this is several weeks after the landslide caused some 637 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 8: major problems for Caltrans. News drop or four captured these 638 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 8: images earlier today. You can see both lanes covered by 639 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 8: dirt and large boulders. Now all of this was due 640 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 8: to a rainstorm on March ninth that caused three different 641 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 8: slides in the area. Well, this one's shut down a 642 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 8: three and a half mile stretch of Tapanga Canyon Boulevard 643 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 8: from Granview Drive to pch Caltran says the soil is 644 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 8: still shifting and they've just learned there's a tension crack 645 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 8: above the slide. People who live and work in Tapega 646 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 8: now forced to take these alternate routes, the main one 647 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 8: for the last three weeks, the main one causing a 648 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 8: traffic backup here on Tuna Canyon Road. 649 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 15: We're looking at maybe installing temp signal lights at that 650 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 15: location so people can make a safe left hand turn 651 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 15: to southbound because they had to cross northbound lanes and 652 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 15: right now it's a little spotty right now. 653 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 8: They want to try to figure out some kind of 654 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 8: traffic signal or a light hear of the intersection. 655 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:18,439 Speaker 12: That would be lovely. 656 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 15: It's a very dangerous way to get onto the Pacific 657 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 15: Coast Highway, so yeah, anything would help, I believe. 658 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 8: With more rain on the way, caltrans geologists are in 659 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 8: a race against time to determine whether to add grating 660 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 8: or stabilization walls. Now a Caltrans spokesperson Jim Medina. He 661 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,240 Speaker 8: says this landslide was so severe that even if Cruise 662 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 8: had covered the hill in plastic netting, it would have 663 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 8: been overrun with soil and a waste of resources. Cal 664 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 8: Trans continuing to recommend to all people who have to 665 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 8: drive in this area to check their website check out 666 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,839 Speaker 8: a quick maps page, But for now, there is no 667 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 8: timeline on when to pinga painting boulevard could real down. 668 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,760 Speaker 1: Caltran separately said that it likely will not be cleared 669 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: until fall.
