1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty you're listening to the John

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on one to

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: four and then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand.

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: We will check him periodically with Steve Gregory. He is

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: reporting live in Holmby Hills in West LA from PTE

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: Ditty's estate. Did he had his palatial mansion raided today

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: by Homeland Security and other agencies? Something about sex traffic,

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: a massive sex trafficking operation involving girls and boys. Did

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: he fled to the East Coast sometime over the weekend.

10
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: Supposedly his properties in Miami and New York are also

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: being raided. His two sons were arrested at the mansion

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles. Steve had the exclusive story and

13
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: he will follow up later on. Also, we're going to

14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: carry shohe Otani's statement. He's going to read a statement.

15
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything else that we're going to learn,

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: but we'll carry that about two forty five and do

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: we now go to Peter Charalambos with ABC News. Because

18
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: Donald Trump saw his bond for that case in New

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: York City slashed by almost two thirds. He was supposed

20
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: to put up four hundred and fifty four million plus

21
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: interest to settle that civil verdict against him. Let's get

22
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: Peter on.

23
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Donald Trump really had a mixed bag of

24
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: results from the New York court system today. On one hand,

25
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, the New York courts kind of handed

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: him a lifeline when it came to his civil fraud case.

27
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: The former president had a deadline today to pay as

28
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: much as about half a billion dollars to stop the

29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: enforcement of a financial penalty. After that trial, the former

30
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: president said that attaining a bond in that case was

31
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: practically impossible. He made a last such effort to ask

32
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: an appeals court in New York to stop the enforcement

33
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: or allow some kind of alternate arrangements. So that's what

34
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: they've done here. Instead of having to put up one

35
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty four million dollars, the former president can

36
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: just put up one hundred and seventy five million. And

37
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: while that's still a hefty chunk of change, the former

38
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: president has suggested that he has enough money in cash,

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: bonds and other liquid securities.

40
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: To cover that.

41
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: However, he's not fully out of the clear in his

42
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: criminal case that relates to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels,

43
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: the head of the twenty sixteen election. A judge locked

44
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: in in April fifteenth trial dates, so Donald Trump will

45
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: be the first form president to have a criminal trial

46
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: and will begin in less than twenty one days in

47
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: New York.

48
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: And refresh everybody's memory. Specifically, what is that trial going

49
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: to be about.

50
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be a lengthy trial. We're looking

51
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: at sixty eight weeks. The allegation here is that in

52
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: the aftermath of the twenty sixteen election, Donald Trump falsified

53
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: business records or to repay his former lawyer Michael Cohen,

54
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: who headed the twenty sixteen election, made a payment to

55
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: Stormy Daniels to prevent her from talking publicly about a

56
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: sexual interaction she had with Donald Trump. The prosecutors in

57
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: the Manhattan District Attorney's Office suggests that this is a

58
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: true election interference case, that Donald Trump was trying to

59
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: hide information from voters. Trump's lawyers have reiterated the idea

60
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: that this case is simply election interference. In their eyes,

61
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: had the twenty twenty four election and the trial, that

62
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: a trial has no place this close to a presidential election.

63
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: So it's definitely starting April sixteenth, he said, and Trump,

64
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: King Trump, does Trump have any other way to delay it,

65
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: because that seems to be his main strategy in all

66
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: the cases, is get it pushed back past the election.

67
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we certainly expect Donald Trump to make some additional

68
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: efforts to delay the trial they suggested in court today,

69
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: or going to make a motion due to the immense

70
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: amount of press attention to the case itself. They could

71
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: theoretically request for a different venue. That's another thing that

72
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: they've signaled they might do in court. But the judge

73
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: here seems pretty firm. He's kind of locked in this state.

74
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: It's going to be a long commitment for him. Purio

75
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: selection will begin that Monday on April fifteenth.

76
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: Going back to the bond for just a second, the

77
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: four hundred and sixty four million dollars he was supposed

78
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: to put up plus the plus interest. This was a

79
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: five judge appeals panel that made the decision. Do we

80
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: know what the vote was and did they make any

81
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: commentary about the case, because I guess they thought four

82
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty four million was excessive, an excessive fine

83
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: in a way to demand that it's be put up

84
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: in the form of a bond. Did they make any

85
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: recommendation on that? It was it's a very short opinion.

86
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 2: It's just two pages. In this case, it was signed

87
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: by these five judge. Was decided by this panel of

88
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: five judges that she said, it's hard to know exactly

89
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: what convinced them. This was really an eleventh hour moved

90
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: by the former president to get a delay, and to

91
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: a lot of us, we were not really expecting a

92
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: decision in time to actually impact this deadline. Fundamentally. Trump

93
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: has argued that if he were in a position where

94
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: he had to sell properties, for example, if he had

95
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: to sell Trump Tower or a skyscraper he has in

96
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 2: downtown Manhattan, and if he eventually succeeded in his appeal,

97
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: it would be in areparable harm because he's not gonna

98
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 2: be able to get those properties back. Now, we don't

99
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: know for sure if that was the convincing argument that

100
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 2: changed the mind of these judges. If you recall about

101
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: a month ago, they declined a smaller request. But it

102
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 2: looks like Trump now has ten days to secure a

103
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 2: bond or simply just pay out one hundred and seventy

104
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: five million dollars and he suggested he had the cash

105
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 2: to do that, right.

106
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: He didn't seem to have any problem with it at all.

107
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 1: He said it would be an honor to pay the bond.

108
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: So he was thrilled at this opportunity, and it came

109
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: in the middle of this hearing related to his related

110
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: to his criminal trial. The former president's lawyers were getting

111
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 2: pretty tough questions from the judge in that case, and

112
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: the hearing took about a forty five minute break. During

113
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: that time, Donald from got news that the appeal had

114
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: been successful and told reporters that he was very grateful

115
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: to the appeals court as you re entered the court

116
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: room in ry noon.

117
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: All right, Peter, thanks for coming on and clarifying all

118
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: those details.

119
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 2: Absolutely my pleasure.

120
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.

121
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: ABC News. Peter Charalambos on the Trump beat today. His

122
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: bond that he has to post one hundred and seventy

123
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 1: five million instead of four hundred and sixty four million,

124
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: and apparently he can access that kind of money and

125
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: he's not going to have Letitia James, the New York

126
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: Attorney General, confiscate Trump Tower and mar A Lago and

127
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: all his other properties over paperwork crimes, which sounds like

128
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: this criminal trials, another paperwork crime that we're talking about here.

129
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: When we come back, The LA Times says Trump. The

130
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: headline is Trump aims to round up undocumented migrants from California.

131
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: Here's how he's going to do it. We'll see what

132
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: their scenario. The scenario they paint, well, it's just like

133
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: a relentless assault.

134
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

135
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 4: six forty.

136
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: So we just brought you Lilana's Trump News. He got

137
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: that bond he had to put up, he had to

138
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: put up in that civil case in New York. It

139
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: was reduced by a five member appeals court panel from

140
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: four hundred and sixty four million plus about another one

141
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: hundred million in interest down to one hundred and seventy

142
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: five million. And it looks like he can come up

143
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: with the money or a bond for the that. The

144
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Times has a columnist named Doyle McManus, and

145
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: the headline on his column today was Trump aims to

146
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: round up undocumented migrants from California. Here's how. And I'm

147
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: going to run through this so you know what's coming

148
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: in case Trump is serious and Trump wins he's got

149
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: an immigration advisor, Stephen Miller, who's from Santa Monica. He

150
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: went to Santa Monica High School. And this sometimes is

151
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: what happens when you have one oppressive, single political culture,

152
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: a monoculture, because it's far left wing in Santa Monica,

153
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: and sometimes it produces tremendous resistance. And that culture in

154
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: Santa Monica produced Stephen Miller, and he is in charge

155
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: of Trump's immigration policy. And if you believe what they say,

156
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: it's always hard to tell what's a campaign rhetoric and

157
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 1: what's going to be real. That he would assemble a

158
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: giant force including National Guard troops to seize undocumented aliens

159
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: and then transport them to camps in Texas and then

160
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: have them expelled, so they'd be collected in California, sent

161
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: to Texas, and then deported from there. And Miller went

162
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: on a I Suppose a podcast hosted by Charlie Kirk

163
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: and said a very conservative estimate would be about ten million,

164
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: and if California doesn't want to cooperate, then we'll order

165
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: National Guard units like from Texas to cross into California

166
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: to enforce the law. Miller promised the operation would be

167
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: as daring and ambitious as building the Panama Canal. This

168
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: is according to Doyle mcmanumus McManus rather writing for the

169
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: La Times. And the question that McManus poses in the

170
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: column is could Trump really do that? And he writes,

171
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: from a legal standpoint, yes, because there's something called the

172
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: Insurrection Act, and he could declare that the National Guard

173
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: is needed to enforce immigration law and send troops from

174
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: Texas or anywhere else into California and it doesn't matter

175
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: if Governor news agrees or not. In fact, if Newsom

176
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: filed a lawsuit against Trump to block the move, it

177
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: would almost certainly fail. The Insurrection Act, according to one

178
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: professor of law Syracuse, gives the president sweeping authority. No

179
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: state has ever sued successfully to stop the deployment of

180
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: the National Guard under the Insurrection Act. According to another

181
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: legal expert at New York University, of course, the actual practical,

182
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: practical maneuvers that you'd need to execute here, you would

183
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: have I mean, you would be rounding up several million people.

184
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: They say it's two million undocumented. God, every paragraph has

185
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: another euphemism. It's illegal aliens, two million of them. I

186
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: think there's a lot more than two million, but even

187
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: two million would be five percent of the population. And

188
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: according to the Times, more than two thirds have been

189
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: in the state longer than ten years. So there's going

190
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: to be massive protests over this. One and a half

191
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: million workers one and a half million workers are illegal aliens.

192
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: That's seven percent of the state's workforce. Half of them

193
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: work in agriculture, construction, hospitality, and retail. So this is

194
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: what happens when you don't enforce immigration law for thirty years.

195
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: You end up with a problem so big, so embedded

196
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: into the economy and into the culture, and just the

197
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: sheer number of people that when you say, you know what,

198
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: we're going to enforce the law and everybody no exceptions,

199
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: everybody freaks out, Well, you can't do that. And that's

200
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: what the pro illegal immigration crowd counts on, that you

201
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: have no enforcement of immigration law long enough that to

202
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: try to correct the problem is too big. We've got

203
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: that issue with homeless as well. They let the homeless

204
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: issue fester for ten years and now they're saying, oh,

205
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: what are you going to do. We've got to order

206
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: to put these people. Where are you going to round

207
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: them all up and arrest them? See that was the plan.

208
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: The plan is to have these problems not solved for

209
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: such a long period of time that the excuse for

210
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: doing nothing forever is it's just too big. It's really

211
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 1: not practical. Who's going to do it. There is a

212
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: think tank called the Heritage Foundation, and it's led by

213
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: a former Trump official, and they have all these proposals

214
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: blocking FEMA grants to state and local agencies that don't

215
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: cooperate with ICE, deny federal loans, and grants to students

216
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: at universities that allow the legal aliens to pay in

217
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: state tuition. And because California is I mean, we're giving

218
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: away We're giving away free healthcare to illegal aliens, you know,

219
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: free schooling, free health care, free free lawyers. It's so

220
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: embedded in the culture. Ultimately, though the state of California

221
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: has no power to regulate federal policy and immigration, if

222
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: the federal government, if an administration decided once and for all,

223
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: we're going to enforce the law, and for all the

224
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: screaming and crying and howling that will go on. If

225
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: Trump and Steven Miller actually do this, and we don't

226
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: know they're going to do it, I mean, there's it'd

227
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: be very difficult to do, obviously, and there's going to

228
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: be a thousand other things that need to be taken

229
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: care of as well by the administration, but the border issue,

230
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: that's overwhelming for much of the country. And I and

231
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: it's been wrong and unfair that California has had to

232
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: deal with the brunt of this. It costs US many billion,

233
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: many billion dollars a year, and most other states haven't

234
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: had to deal with what we've had to deal with.

235
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: So and you know, Trump has no never has had

236
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: any support in California, and he might not have any

237
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: problem at all taking it on and starting a huge

238
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: war over the illegal immigration an issue now when we

239
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: come back. I was watching sixty Minutes last night and

240
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: they had an interview with the Mexican president, Andre's Manuel

241
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: Lopez Obrador, and you watch this and he spoke entirely

242
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: in Spanish and had to be translated. But we're going

243
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: to play a couple of clips of the translation, and

244
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: he is a piece of work. And it's pretty clear

245
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: that the drug cartels run the country. Do you know

246
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: the cartels employ one hundred and seventy five thousand Mexicans

247
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: in Mexico, one hundred and seventy five thousand, and if

248
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: there are any journalists or any politicians who speak out

249
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: against the cartels, they get assassinated. There have been hundreds

250
00:15:53,960 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: of candidates killed in Mexico, hundreds, and Oberdor pretends that

251
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: nothing bad is happening, and he was confronted about all

252
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: the fetnel being produced. Wait till you hear the list

253
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: of demands he's making of the US before he'll continue

254
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: to stem the flow of illegal aliens across the border.

255
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: He really has a major effect on how many illegals

256
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: cross our border, and he can turn the spigot on

257
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: or turn the spigot off. We'll play a couple of

258
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: these clips and explain what that all means. Coming up.

259
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

260
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 4: six forty.

261
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: Watching sixty minutes. Last night, they had an interview Sharon

262
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: Alphonsi was the reporter with the Mexican president. His full

263
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: name andres Manuel Lopez Obrador m Low. They call him

264
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: for sure, Amlo, call him Alberdor, and he is he

265
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: is an arrogant son of a gun. He knows exactly

266
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: what he's doing by facilitating millions of the legal aliens

267
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: into this country because you may not know this, but

268
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: the Biden administration a few months ago, when they saw

269
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: how open borders was killing them in the polls, killing

270
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: their chances to get reelected, they decided they had to

271
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 1: do something, and they sent the Secretary of State Anthony

272
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: Blincoln to Mexico to meet with Oberdor along with other

273
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: White House officials. Now, after the meeting, nobody would talk,

274
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: and if they said anything at all was all diplomatic niceties.

275
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: But they must have threatened Obrador with something because they

276
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: were desperate. Because, as you know, it's not millions of

277
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: Mexicans coming over the border. That's the way it used

278
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: to be maybe twenty years ago. Now it's one hundred

279
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 1: and sixty different countries, and a lot of them are

280
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: showing up in the along Mexico southern border from all

281
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: over South America and Central America and getting through Guatemala

282
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: and El Salvador and Honduras and then making it to Mexico.

283
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: So if you shut off the flow at the southern

284
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: Mexican border, then they can't get to the northern border easily.

285
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: And wouldn't you know it, border traffic at the US

286
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: Mexican border dropped by fifty percent between December and January.

287
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: And no, it wasn't seasonal. It was Oberdoor had sent

288
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: out his law enforcement to shut down the southern border.

289
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: If they can't get into Mexico, or they can't get

290
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: very far into Mexico, then they can't get into the US.

291
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: And that's because Blincoln I must have made some kind

292
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: of threat, some kind of hammer came down. Trump did

293
00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: this with Mexico during his term. He'd threatened to meanomically,

294
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: our economies are so intertwined that we could do whatever

295
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: we want to destroy the Mexican economy if we chose.

296
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: And Obertar knows that. And so when Blincoln finally showed

297
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: up in his office, temporary at least the jig was up.

298
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean he's not going to go back

299
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: to his old ways, and he feels free to make demands.

300
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean they're blackmail demands. The US must do this

301
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: or I'll open the spiggotte again. We're gonna play a

302
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: clip from the interview with Sharon Fonsi from sixty Minutes.

303
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: He speaks in Spanish but it is translated, and she's

304
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: asking about people calling his demands to the US being

305
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: diplomatic blackmail role. It cut one with the.

306
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 5: Ear of the White House. President Lopez Obrador proposed his

307
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 5: fix that the United States commit twenty billion dollars a

308
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 5: year to poor countries in Latin America and the Caribbean,

309
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 5: lift sanctions on Venezuela and the Cuban embargo, and legalize

310
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 5: millions of law abiding Mexicans living in the US. If

311
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 5: they don't do the things that you've said need to

312
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 5: be done, then what bah.

313
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: The flow of migrants will continue.

314
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 5: Your critics have said what you're doing, or what you're

315
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 5: asking for to help secure the border is diplomatic blackmail.

316
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: What do you say? I'm speaking frankly. We have to

317
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: say things as they are, and I always say what

318
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: I feel. I always say what I think.

319
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 5: If they don't do those things, will you continue to

320
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 5: help to secure the border?

321
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: Yes, because our relationship is very important. That's him, It

322
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: is fundamental. So he contradicts himself that answer. If the

323
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: US doesn't meet his demands, then the flow is going

324
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: to continue. Then he's asked, are you going to secure

325
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: the border? Well, yes, well you can't have both. Here.

326
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: Go through the demands that he made again, twenty billion

327
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: dollars to poor countries and Central Central America and the

328
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: Caribbean twenty billion dollars. So it's a shakedown, that's what

329
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: it is. Do as I say, give me the money,

330
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: or we're going to flood the zone with more migrants

331
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: that you can't take care of. Then he wants us

332
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: to relieve trade sanctions on Venezuela and Cuba, two basically

333
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: communist countries whose conditions are horrific. We've got a huge

334
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: number of Venezuelans coming over the border and it's the

335
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: Venezuelan government's fault, and he wants us to open up

336
00:21:53,240 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: trade and or give them, give them aid to reward

337
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: them for torturing their own people. And then he wants

338
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: all the illegal aliens in Mexico, all the illegal alien Mexicans,

339
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: to be legalized. He wants to be in charge of

340
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: our immigration policy. He wants to be in charge of

341
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: our state Department foreign policy, how we deal with communist

342
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: nations in our sphere. And if we don't listen to him,

343
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: then his weapon is to send millions of poor people

344
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: here to create chaos in the cities like they're doing

345
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: in New York and Chicago, and eventually we're going to

346
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: get more here too as well, because as Texas is

347
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: sealed off, that border is sealed off more or pouring

348
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: in at the California Mexican border. Here's Obrador deflecting over

349
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: the idea that Mexico is pumping in a lot of

350
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: fat to theiling tens of thousands of American's. Play cut

351
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: number two EA.

352
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 5: Says cartels are mass producing fentanyl, and the US State

353
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 5: Department has said that most of it is coming out

354
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 5: of Mexico.

355
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 6: Are they wrong team, yes, or rather they don't have

356
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 6: all the information because fentanyls is also produced in the

357
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 6: United States.

358
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 5: The State Department says most of it's coming from Mexico.

359
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 6: Fentanyl is produced in the United States, in Canada and

360
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 6: in Mexico, and the chemical precursors come from Asia.

361
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: Do you know why we don't have the drug consumption

362
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: that you.

363
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 6: Have in the United States because we have customs traditions

364
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 6: and we don't have the problem of the disintegration of

365
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 6: the family.

366
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: Well, that's a lot. First of all, he lied outright.

367
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: What Sharon Alfonsi was saying is true. Most of the

368
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: fentanyl is created in Mexico, that's absolute fact. Of course,

369
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: some of it's made here, and of course a small

370
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: amounts made in Canada. I don't think anybody is fearing

371
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: Canadian drug cartels. But the Mexican drug cartels, and this

372
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: was in the same story, employ one hundred and seventy

373
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: five thousand people. Their prime product now is fentodel. Because

374
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: it's really cheap, they sell a lot of it. It's

375
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 1: extremely addictive and it's deadly. But that's that's their number

376
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: one product is fentadel. So he just lies, churse, what

377
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: do he you know, There's only so much you can do.

378
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean to try to bang the truth out of

379
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: a guy like that, because no matter what you say,

380
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: he'll he'll just say, oh, that's not true. Well that's

381
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: not true. Most of it's made in the United States.

382
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: No it's not. It's Mexico. No, it's made and the

383
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: what do you you know? You end up in a

384
00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: childish go around there. But he doesn't care how many

385
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: Americans he kills. He looks at the car and the

386
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: drug cartel. He's never going to start a fight with them,

387
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: or he'd get killed. Elsewhere in the story, they talked

388
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: about the hundreds of There were hundreds of political candidates

389
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 1: and journalists who've been killed over the years. Nobody can

390
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: speak out against drug cartels. It always, for the rest

391
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: of our lifetimes, is going to be the dominant force

392
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: in Mexico. All we can do is play defense and

393
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: close the border. Close the border to make it as

394
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: difficult as possible for the illegal aliens to come over,

395
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: the human smuggling, the sex trafficking, the drug trafficking. He

396
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: is right, We produce a hell of a market for drugs,

397
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: and we do have some pretty serious social problems the

398
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: way families and communities have disintegrated. I mean, most people

399
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: have disintegrated into spending their days staring at screens. But

400
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: he's still supplying most of the poison, most of the

401
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: poisons coming over the border. Sometimes I think our federal government, no, not,

402
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: sometimes I think every day I think the federal government

403
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: is scared of the cartels. The federal government. Maybe we're

404
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: getting kickbacks, Maybe the federal government's getting a cut. There's

405
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: some kind of corruption going on because we never really

406
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: take an aggressive stance at the border to stop anything

407
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: from coming over and to take on these cartels. If

408
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: Trump wins, maybe he'll do it. But the Biden administration

409
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: bent over for the cartels, bent over for Oberdoor up

410
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: until a few months ago, because their reelection chances depend

411
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: on doing something to tap down the border. But it's

412
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: one of the worst policies you'll ever see in your life,

413
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: these border policies. It's done nobody any good. And he

414
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: just on the border alone. Biden Arty gets smoked him

415
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: during in the election not to mention the ridiculous inflation

416
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: which was created by an excess of federal spending. It's just,

417
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't call it incompetence because I think

418
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: they intended to leave the water wide open. You know,

419
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: we've had Mark or Corrion on many times from the

420
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: Center for Immigration Studies. He said, no, No, that's the

421
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: philosophy that the White House crowd believes in. They're far

422
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: left wing. They don't believe in the legitimacy of the

423
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: United States. They think we're an illegitimate, capitalistic nation built

424
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: on racism and blah blah blah. I've heard it a

425
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: thousand times, and that our whole system needs to be

426
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: disrupted and we should give all the poor people of

427
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: the world a slice of our empire here. And they

428
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: truly believe that, and the policy reflects it. A lot

429
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: of people waste time criticizing Biden administration as being incompetent.

430
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 3: No, it's not.

431
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: It's actually quite competent. It's pushing a philosophy that they

432
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: absolutely believe in, like a religion. More coming up.

433
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,080

Speaker 3: patient in this process. Just on a personal note, I'm

447
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,479
Speaker 3: very saddened and shocked that someone who I'm trusted has

448
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:12,920

Speaker 2: Car.

460
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 3: Up until a couple of days ago, I didn't know

461
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 3: that this was happening, and Nani just to kind of

462
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 3: just go over the result.

463
00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:58,440

466
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:06,640

Speaker 3: and told my representatives that I was paying off those debts.

485
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 8: So she.

486
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 3: And this this, all of this has been a complete lie.

487
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: Based on something gets tight enough after this.

488
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 3: Communications so I pay obviously lied about you know, basically

489
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 3: didn't tell me about the media inquiry.

490
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 7: And then so I don't know GI and what's my

491
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 7: book to communication?

492
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 3: So PA has been telling everybody around that he that

00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: PA has been communicating with show he on all of

494
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 3: this account to my representative, you know, to my representative

495
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 3: to the team, and that hasn't been true.

496
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 8: And meeting.

497
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: Meeting, you know, took it.

498
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 3: The first time I knew about this gambling, uh he

499
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 3: pays gambling was during the after the first game, when

500
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: we had team meeting in the clubhouse.

501
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: And mas.

502
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 3: So during the team meeting, obviously I was speaking English

503
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 3: and I didn't have a translator on my side, but

504
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 3: with but even with that, I kind of understood what

505
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 3: was going on and started to feel that there was

506
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 3: something amiss.

507
00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: The ma, the study there study. Just prior to the meeting, I.

508
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 3: Was told by Hey, let's talk one to one in

509
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 3: the hotel after the meeting, So I waited.

510
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: Until then.

511
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 7: Meeting I took in gamb so that you know meeting.

512
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 3: So up until that team meeting, I didn't know that

513
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 3: it had a gambling addiction and was in debt. And

514
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 3: at that obviously at that point or I and obviously

515
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 3: I did not never agreed to pay off the debt

516
00:35:52,840 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 3: or you know, make payments to the book makers checking

517
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 3: and finally when we went back to the hotel and

518
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 3: talked one to one, that was when I was when

519
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 3: I found out that he had a massive debts or

520
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 3: state and it was revealed to me during that meaning

521
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 3: that he he paid admitted that he was sending money

522
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 3: using my account to the book maker.

523
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: That didn't.

524
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 3: And at that moment, obviously I was it was an

525
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 3: absurd thing that was happening. And I've contacted my representatives

526
00:36:49,640 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 3: at that point, Bengosh. So when my when I was

527
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 3: finally able to talk to my representatives, that's when my

528
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 3: representatives found out that has been lying the whole time,

529
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 3: and that's when I started contacting the Dodgers and my lawyers,

530
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 3: and the Dodgers and the lawyers at that moment found

531
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 3: out also as well that they have been lied to,

532
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 3: so looking.

00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,439

Speaker 3: it clear that I never better on sports or have

541

Speaker 8: Come on MMM, and.

Speaker 3: And to summarize how I'm feeling right now, I'm just

544
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 3: beyond shocked. It's really hard to verbalize how I am

545
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 3: feeling at this point most kyots, and the season is

546

548
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 3: assisting UH in all investigations that are taking place right now.

549
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:13,479
Speaker 7: None of them are.

550
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: Told us.

551
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 3: You know, I'm looking forward to focusing on the season.

552
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 3: I'm glad that we had this opportunity to talk, and

553
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 3: I'm sure there will be continuing investigations moving forward.

554
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 7: Usually thank you very much.

555
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: We will have more on all of this on our Okay,

556
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: you just heard the show here Khani and his interpreter,

557
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: and he claims he had no knowledge at all about

558
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: his interpreters gambling and he had nothing to do with

559
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: paying off the gambling debts. The only question not addressed

560
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: by Otani is how does his interpreter get access to

561
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: his bank account for four and a half million dollars

562
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 1: and possibly nine wire transfers? That's what ESPN had, nine

563
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: wire transfers of about a half million dollars each. How

564
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: do you do that over a period of months? And

565
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: Otani doesn't know about it, and nobody's an Altani's legal

566
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: or financial or management circle know about it. I don't

567
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: think he addressed that, did he No? Now, that's uh,

568
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: That's what I'm wondering about.

569
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 8: And to clarify, the translator during that press conference was

570
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 8: Will Eyrton. He's been a member of the Dodgers organization

571
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 8: for the last eight years. He was hired when Kenzomaieta

572
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 8: signed with the Dodgers and immediately took over once Ipe

573
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 8: Mizuhara was fired by the Dodgers. So he's he's been

574
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 8: with the organization for a few years.

575
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: We will have more on this. We're also going to

576
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: get Steve Gregory back to talk about the huge federal

577
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: raid on the Rap Star. He's a producer, music executive.

578
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: Pete Diddy, Puff Daddy Sean Combs. He had his home

579
