(01:02):
That's what the moistline is for. That's right. Or you
used the talk back feature on the iHeartRadio app. All right, Josh,
So who are you now? First of all, you donated
a lot of money, like at least five six thousand dollars.
You don't even remember, do you. I don't want to
braget no, I know, but it's you know, it's for
it's for the chill. It's yeah, it's for charity.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
And I was telling you before, I never win anything, right,
I'm one of those guys. I just and I put
it in and the next.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Morning, you see, this is different. This is not like
a lottery. This is you've got to anty up the cash.
That's right. Yeah, you outdid every last year. The winner
was an attorney as well. So something about that.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
There's some personality type your audience key demo seems to be,
you know this middle aged guys who want to complain
about everything.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
That's right. That and we homeless people drug adds. It's
those two. So in fact, we met, you said in
Apple Valley years ago, where you have your office.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
My office is there. Now, back then it didn't exist.
You were and ken were doing a recall on somebody
and I was telling you I couldn't remember his name.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, I remember, I remember the event and the kind
of guy.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It was very hot. I think it was July, middle
of summer.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Whatever, the only time I was in Apple Valley and
it seemed like it was about one hundred and seventeen
degrees in a hot parking lot. And whoever was on
our staff then, who's no longer here?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
They oriented the tent so that the setting sun was
blasting into our face the entire afternoon.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
And it's one of those parking lots that's just nothing
but asphalt, like dot one, like one hundred and fifty
two degrees coming up right. So my office is there now,
but it was. The building wasn't there back then.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
But you did. You did show up.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I did show up, yes, And you're trying to put
or not you but your staff is trying to put
bumper stickers on people's cars and I'm.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I have I dried mustangs. Oh, but you get into
little shop. One of our staff members, yeah, was like,
no bumper stickers. I just don't mess with my car. Wait.
They were just putting the stickers on without asking.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
No, I think you had to get but you're having
to park, So it was you know, it's like one
way in one wall.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
We had a lot of questionable people working here back then.
Yeah in Apple Valley, you know, we're not used to
that kind of yeah business coming. So what Obviously, if
you're listening to this show and KFI and you bid
the money to come on, there must be a lot
of stuff that gets you crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, well that's what was talking to raise, like, well,
what do you want to talk about? Like, well, whatever
John talks about, because I usually just listen and I
yell at the radio.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Listening. So that's the way we could do the next
two hours if you want. Yeah, you could react to
whatever because we're going to basically regular show here and
just you get to chime in as much as you want.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, that's great. Just in my car, I get to
say whatever I want. And on radio there's a seven
words you can't say.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Well, see, I know, well Freddy just used three of them,
Freddy Escobar, so we only have four left. Well no,
I mean generally, what gets you shouting the loudest? Traffic? Taxes?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, I have a list of complaints and traffic's on
there about ten times. This is really where we're kind
of talking, and this is our first time on this
side of the city since COVID, really since COVID really
starts its twenty twenty, and traffic is just worse than one.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
It's nearly impossible to go from west to east absolutely
or east to west because yeah, yeah, I haven't seen
a Dodger game this year, primarily because it can take
two to three hours from the time I leave the
house until I get in the seat yep, And it's
like forty minutes. What you approach the parking lot, right,
(04:38):
it's about forty minutes to get in and then park
and you.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Think you think you've made it because you're getting off
the freeway, and then it's just another it's another thirty minutes,
and you're like what and then and then on top
of Bubblehead night, then yeah, did you grow up here? Yeah,
for the most part, I grew up in southern California,
out in Glendora.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So what how old are you? Roughly I'm forty seven,
forty seven, but you look forty six? Thank you're doing wrong?
What what's changed since you were a kid here? You know,
sometimes it's hard to explain to people. I remember California
just ten years ago being drastically different than it is now.
What have you seen over forty six years? I only
(05:17):
go back like thirty three, but you go back forty
six what what?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah? Well, I go, yeah, that's started listening to you.
And I was in junior high so yeah, price and say, no,
it's but.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
My dad the math is the math with my dad
in the car.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But I asked this question of people all the time,
especially you know the blue no matter who people, if
you lived here twenty years ago, just ask yourself this
is was the homeless problem as bad back then it
is now? And there's not one person who says, oh,
it was it's always been this bad. No, it's it's
so the homeless. The homeless problem has just blown up
(05:52):
the last ten to fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yeah, I'd say the first twenty years we did our
show out here, I don't think it ever came up
as a topic ever. Never, it was never.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It became a problem with leadership who told us there
was a problem. And now now there's an actual problem.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Well now there's an industry, right yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, And and and at traffic too. I mean you
could get from the Inland Empire to downtown in forty
five minutes to an hour. And it's just it's it's exponentially.
Everything is just moving so much faster and maybe devolving
so much.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Fun definitely devolving. Yes, no, there's there's not a lot
of forward movement. No, we're you know, we're that.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You know, you've talked about plenty of that high speed
trained and nowhere, and that was supposed to leviate all
the problems, and nothing's happened, right, I mean, and so.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
What's changed?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
A lot is one A lot less empty lots, a
lot less dirt. I mean, look around, you know there
used to be somewhat farms. Used to go out to Chino,
there'd be farms. It's all apartments and industrial buildings now,
and there's just so many more people and without the
infrastructure to keep up with it. And if you do
just kind of think that, you know, in the year
(07:05):
two thousand, yeah, you could walk the streets and you
wouldn't be accosted by homeless people or you will.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I remember, I talk about it all the time. We
used to go downtown all the time to go to
the theater down there, you know, the Mark Taper, the
Dorothy Chandler or I don't even know what they call
that theater. Now they change, you know, the the one
part of La Live. Oh okay, yeah, Microsoft Theater, I
think it's called. But anyway, we used to go there
all the time back then, and now she won't cross
(07:31):
the four or five. Yeah, we have those same problems too.
It's when you.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
When you set your your I don't know your life
or your or your extracurricular activities, and you say, well,
I don't want to put up with the traffic or
I don't want to put up with the people, so
I'm going to avoid doing something fun.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah you got a problem. Yeah, you go two hours
in traffic and your reward is you have eight homeless
people surrounding your car when you finally get a parking space,
if you can get a parking space, right, yeah, and
it's it's completely unlivable. Why do you think because I
got people out where you live vote differently, right right?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Where all people who came here grew up here and
said I've had enough of this, and you move out
to the suburbs.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Why do you think they vote the way they vote,
considering almost everybody I know is unhappy with the result
something disconnected along the line, where people aren't connecting their
votes to the outcomes here.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Well, in my opinion, yeah, I'm not an expert by
any means and any political discussion, but it is there
are people who their politics is their religion. And you've
talked about I think you talked about yesterday or the
day before about the religion of certain people being a
lack of faith in other institutions and following either a
(08:49):
climate agenda or a political agenda, and they ignore everything else,
and they'll make excuses for everything that people normal rational.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I consider myself somewhat rational.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I consider you somewhat rational, somewhat that we just get
out numbered by the irrational people who have.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, I mean I'm not I'm not a religious person,
but I do know that there's a basic desire in
people to believe in if not, if not a religious philosophy,
it seems a political philosophy. Like humans get attracted to
that and they invest emotionally, very deeply, and instead of
church now they invest in political parties or candidates or
(09:28):
these weird progressive movements which are very religious like in
their intensity, and there they're dogma.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Right exactly and if you say anything slightly contradictory, I mean,
people will you can lose friends over it, and people
who normally see what somewhat rat So you start talking
about some type of political issue like that and they'll
catch the trump you can't even talk about. I mean,
it's you have to kind of like give out. Can
(09:55):
we talk about we talk? Oh, okay, okay, that's good, okay,
because some people are triggered by those things.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I told the story once on the air, but there's uh,
I'm on the West Side, which is almost entirely like
a you know, progressive democratic, and my kids went to
a private school, so it's even more so there. And
we're at some cocktail party. I think it was a fundraiser.
They wanted money to build something. And I'm standing just
(10:24):
minding my own business. And you know, they all parents.
They know who I am, so they know what kind
of nonsense we discussed on the radio. And one guy
who I barely knew, he comes up to me and
he starts looking around to the left and to the right,
and up and down he goes can and he's whispering,
can I tell you something? And I'm thinking, is this
guy coming out of the closet for me. I mean,
(10:44):
that's the way he was acting like he's got this,
this terribly embarrassing secret he wants to share. And it
was about the time of the first Trump election, and
I go, oh, go ahead, and he goes, I think
I'm going to vote for Trump. I think I like
the guy. But he's so nervous, he's shaking, he's drinking is.
I said, well, it's okay, you can confess to me.
(11:05):
I didn't tell anybody. He goes, I just wanted to
tell somebody. And that's that is the way people are
so spooked and afraid to, you know, express themselves.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Absolutely, I've had I've had several friends, even just beyond Trump.
I had one particular friend who called me and asked me,
can I ask your opinion about the vaccine because it
was dogma. You line up and you get it, and
I my personal opinion is, I don't care. Do what
you want to do right, whatever makes you happy, if
(11:35):
you're happy, if you have. My biggest thing, especially as
an attorney, we as the people. Your job, the government's job,
is to give us all the information right and give
us actual facts and the real information, not your lies,
not your talking points, Give us all the facts and
let us make.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
The discuss us what it does, tell us what the risks.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Are, exactly right, and don't lie about it and let
and let the individual make their no force or you
lose your job.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
And that's where and that's kind of where we were
at that point in time. And it was because you know,
we got really sick with this vaccine and I don't
know if I.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Want to do it again. Yeah, but it's it is.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's very much like can I talk you that hush
under the Can I talk to you away from everybody else?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
We're really timid? Yeah, all right, hang on, See this
is easy, is it? Yeah? You're very good at what
you do. It's like you've been doing a long time.
There's nothing else I can't. Josh Moody is with us
and he won the contest to help co host the
show pastathon winner from last fall, and we'll continue with him.
Coming up.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Coming up after two thirty, Laura Angele and she's going
to be reporting from the p Ditty trial, which gets
more and more disgusting every day. A lot of testimony
today from Ditty's former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. That was the
woman that you probably saw in the Who's getting thrown
around the hotel? And I'll just a lot of really
(13:04):
overwhelmingly disturbing testimonies she gave because she was involved with
him for over ten years. So Laura Engle will be
coming on in just a few minutes. We continue here
with Joshua Moody, Pastathan winner and he donated the well
he bid and the high bid to win the prize,
(13:25):
and the prize is sitting here better than anything on email.
So thank you again, thank you for having me and
his wife who's a prosecutor. And I want to pronounce
your name right, So Joshua helped me pronounce her name right,
Mari Mari instead of Marry. It's Mari, Mari, it's Danish Mari.
You're a prosecutor in San Bernardino County. I am, yeah,
(13:46):
just talking to the microphone.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
It's yes, I am.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
And what kind of crimes you prosecute? All types? All types,
I mean really vicious guys. Yeah, some people, Okay, so
I want to know you're getting bad guys off the streets.
Now we are all right, you win, right, yes, okay,
we'd want losing prosecutors. We when somebody wins all the time,
(14:12):
so okay, he definitely the one who wins. You're cleaning
up San Bernardino County. That's excellent. All right, here, here's
let's let's talk about this. You know, well, you talked
about the taxes, right. Oh, we've heard of taxes in California. Okay,
so twelve years ago? Is it twelve years ago? No,
actually fourteen years ago. Jerry Brown's last budget, or his
(14:37):
first budget fourteen years ago, was ninety eight billion dollars
in the state newsome last year three hundred and thirty billion.
And we're getting a lot for our money. Yeah, so
they've more than tripled the spending. The taxes are the
highest in the country when it comes to sales taxes,
income taxes, gas taxes, and even though property taxes are
(15:00):
not among the highest in the country, the revenue is
because of all, you know, the expensive property.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I love that speaking point too, of well, prop there's
teen stops as from getting more, yeah, beach front property
in southern California complaining you're not getting enough taxes.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Come on, right, where your budget is triple what it
was fourteen years ago. Prop thirteen isn't stopping anything. Well,
he they were twenty seven billion dollars in debt, they
cut eleven, they took seven from the Rainy Day Fund,
and now they found that they're twelve billion dollars extra
(15:37):
in debt that they hadn't counted on. Do you know
what the number twelve billion? And then what that matches.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Probably the exact amount that they were spending on something
they shouldn't be spending on.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Money.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
You win again, there you go, you are a winner. Yes,
illegal alien healthcare is twelve billion dollars and the budget
deficit is twelve billion that they're telling us that they're
admitting to it the ball.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
So, ed, there's no other state that pays for legal
alien health care, and we pay for it from cradle
to grave, and which attracts you more illegal aliens. Now
that's probably something you've seen over the years, to increase
in the immigration. Oh yeah. And so here's these radical ideas.
He wants to hold down the deficit. He's going to
(16:23):
freeze new enrollment. Everybody who's in the state still gets
pre medical care. So let's get this straight.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
The new administrations pretty much stop people from coming in
here illegally.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, right, exactly, So it's a good time to freeze, yeah,
because they're not going to be here anymore. And then
if you're over eighteen, you have to pay one hundred
dollars monthly premium. So for one hundred dollars you get
full government health care coverage. I don't think our premium
is one hundred dollars a month. No, isn't that infuriated
(16:55):
as yours? I don't think yours is. No, No, No,
we got a pretty good deal because we got a
we got a union. But it's still that it's not accurate. No,
So you and I and your wife, we have to
pay much higher monthly premiums, and we have to pay
the highest taxes in the country in order to provide
(17:16):
free healthcare for I legal aliens.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Right and again, ten years ago or fourteen years ago,
even before Obamacare, is your insurance getting that much better?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Our insurance? The premiums were not that high fourteen years ago. No,
that we're paying No, I know they they mine doubled
in the last few years.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Right, So where's all this success, where's all this and
where's all this money? Go.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Why how did the budget triple or is it triple
or more than triple? Yeah? Yeah, it's ninety eight billion
to three hundred and thirty billion. And what do we get?
What do we get for it? Do we have faster
traffic lanes? Do we have better premiums? Do we have? Well?
Didn't you get a ride on the high speed rail? No? No,
(18:00):
didn't make it to Apple Valley. I didn't make it
Dapple Valley a San Fernando Valley. God, it goes so
fast nobody can see it.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah. Well they got the what's that trolley? Not trolley,
but yeah, the yellow line or something. It takes you
about two hours to get from what's yeah, what's that line?
The electric railroad?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Oh? The I don't know. You got you got some
got a secret railroad out in Apple Valley. I I
don't know because it's in Pasadena. It's in Pasadena, I
don't know. And it's supposed to it takes you to
downtown lay got light rail, that's the light ral Okay,
you know, I don't know anybody takes the light right
out there. I don't get on mass transit now a neither.
I see homeless, you know, every day a stop at
(18:41):
a bagel shop in Wilshire Boulevard, and I see who's
sitting in the buses. It's like, I'm not getting on
that right. All right? We come back Lorengo uh and
he's She's gonna tell us about the latest in the
Diddy Child.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from kf I
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
John Cobelt Show on every day from one to four
and then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand
on the iHeart app. Let's turn to Laura Engele from Newstation.
She's covering the Ditty trial in New York City. Cassie Ventura,
his girlfriend for over eleven years, was on the stand
(19:21):
today getting cross examined aggressively by Ditty's attorneys. And as
usual like yesterday, if you've got a weak's stomach, to
be wary because there's been a lot of graphic testimony
and you know he's up on sex trafficking charges. But
to set up the case, Venturia's former girlfriend is discussing
(19:45):
the lifestyle. She's not involved in any these criminal charges.
Let's get laur ango on Laura. How are you hey there? John?
Speaker 4 (19:54):
We are having another busy day Downstown, Manhattan, here with
a Ventura who's been on the stand all day, and
the session was just called we are done for the day.
And I think it's a good thing. Everybody needs a break.
I'm sure she does too. Again, nine months pregnant on
the stand now having to face off with Sean Combe's
defense team going over you know, crossing her on all
(20:18):
of the things that she said over the last two days,
talking about these sex capades, these known freak offs, where
these incidents went on for hours and days at a time,
where she had sex with multiple partners in front of
Sean Combs in hotel rooms and man today really focused
(20:39):
a lot on the amount of drugs that were used
and how often they both were using drugs, what types
of drugs, how many drugs, and you know, basically she
is painted a picture of being on drugs a lot
to numb herself through what she says she was being
asked to do from her former boyfriend. But what the
defense did today was trying to say, but when when
(21:01):
we go through these text messages, aren't we seeing that
you in fact initiated some of these freak offs. And
it did appear that some of them. You know, five
out of one hundred that were shared said you know,
I want to fo so bad, meaning I want to
freak off so bad. She claims she would say stuff
like that so that she could appease him like she
(21:21):
was the twenty sixteen infamous surveillance tape that was taken
at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles, and what we know,
it ended badly. Right we see him, I have to say,
allegedly allegedly beating her up in the hallway, and she
said she did that freak off because she wanted to
do damage control. She wanted to keep him at they
so that she could still have her movie premiere a
(21:42):
few days later. She had a big event of red
carpet coming up, and of course it didn't end well.
She had to go in with very heavy makeup. So
we just have this full, like big look behind the
scenes of the back and forth about their relationship. And
you mentioned it yesterday when we talked John. You know,
but what about the charges. We need to get to
the charges. But what people need to also remember is
(22:02):
that we're only into now day four of what is
expected to be an eight week trial. She's nine months pregnant,
they're trying to get as much information out of her
now before she goes into labor and can't be here
to testify. So a lot of background, a lot of
explaining the lifestyle, what was going on. We heard about
the baby oil again today. I don't know if you remember.
(22:23):
I've sure that the listeners remember that. Back when the
raid first happened and all that baby oil was out
of one thousand bottles of baby oil, which was predominantly
used in these freak cops, there was a rumor that
kind of got out of hand that there was drugs
inside of the oil. But she said that there was
never drugs inside of the oil, but did talk about
all of the different drugs that her and Sean had
(22:44):
done together, cocaine and GHB and molly and ecstasy and
all of it. There was a long list of drugs
that she talked about taking with him during all of this.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
This whole thing is so disgusting, really is.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Well.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
On the other thing, I was talking to one of
my producers here and a younger producer, and I said, imagine,
if you will, if you're thirty years old texting somebody
about these freak coffs. Is setting this up somebody who's
nineteen years old. Look it happens, right, she's an adult,
and the defense wuld say she's a consenting adult. We're
talking about a thirty year old man talking about setting
(23:23):
up multiple freak COFs with you know, started with it
started when they were nineteen, when she was nineteen, the
relationship did. And that's what the defense really tried to
portray today is the loving text messages, the emails, I
can't wait to see you baby, I can't wait till
we're together. I can't believe that you're going to fly
to Atlanta to see me. I can't wait. All of
that kind of stuff. But as anybody who has covered
(23:45):
domestic violence watched a domestic violence case unfold in real time,
you know that it's not always what it seems right
and it don't.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I mean, there's always a side where it was a
real romance. That's why those two people are together. And
then it gets it turns really dark and one part
wants to have absolute control and they start acting out
all their violent impulses and desires and everything goes down.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yep. So we've been going through the day talking about
the text messages, the drugs and what the mood was like.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You know.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
She was asked to describe what was what was it
like when Combs was coming off the drugs, and she said,
you know, not great. He was always irritable. She also
talked about, you know, we talked about the wrapper Kid Cutty.
She was in a relationship with him, and she described
in detail about having a break that she used to
communicate with him. She was in a relationship with him
(24:39):
when she was on a break with Shaan Comms. But
was in that break the defense springs up. Didn't she
have a freak off with Shaw Combs when she was
in a break? Why would you do that? She said,
It's hard to explain. I was just in this kind
of twisted relationship with him for a long time, so
she had a freak off when they were in a break.
She also started a romantic relationship with Kid Cutty. Is
(25:00):
the thing about you know kids car being blown up.
We talked about that. We also talked about her starting
up a relationship with the actor Michael B. Jordan also
when they were in a break. The jealousy that ensued
between these two throughout the years, one would be cheating
on the other, or one would start another relationship, the
other would get jealous. But at the end of the day,
(25:22):
almost all of these stories end with Cassie Ventura telling
the jury that she just wanted him to love her.
She just wanted to do basically whatever he said to
do so that they could be in a closer relationship.
And if it meant being with feather men while he
watched while they were covered in baby oil, so be it,
because that would mean at the end of it, she
(25:42):
could be with him at the end of the night.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Do you get any sense of how the jury is
looking at her. Are they looking at her sympathetically or
somebody who's just as nuts as Diddy?
Speaker 4 (25:53):
You know, it's a mix. The jury is a mix
of all walks of life. And I've seen them walking
in and out. They don't look at her when they're
walking past her while she's on the witness stand as
they are being seated. But for those who were in
the courtroom yesterday when they were being shown stills of
the Freakoffs, some people were seeing you know, they're trying
(26:13):
to have a poker face, right, but they have a
sense of recoiling, like of being shocked because you're seeing
you know, somebody covered in baby oil, with lubric bottles
all over the place and bottles of water. Why is
there so much water? Well, we had to hydrate.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
You know.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
There were ivs that were given to these people that
were going to these freakoffs because they were.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
So And these are photos that are being show shown
to the jury. I mean the photos of some of
the group sex acts going on and the stuff that
Diddy was forcing.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
They can't see. Yeah, we can't see the photos of
what they did is they took skills of the freakoffs
that were that were put into evidence, not shown to
the public and not shown to anybody in the court room,
only to the jurors screens in front of them, and
only to Cassie and she, you know, would look at
the screen and say, yep, that's that's me, and Greg, yep,
(27:02):
that's me, and whoever she. I think she listed twelve
different people that she was with yesterday.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
So I want to I want to word this question
just the right way, was it? Because I don't know
anything about Free Goss. I don't know about you. I
either do I find I never got invited. Are these
my competitions? You know, like like a game show? Competition
because the term frea colth makes it sound like, hey,
(27:30):
you had a group here and he had a group there.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
And right, well, you know what it sounds like to me. Well,
first of all, Sean Colmes is accused of recording all
of them, and in fact he obviously did because we
saw stills from some of these videos. So when you
think about it, I mean that to me sounds like
a porn as you're filming something where a bunch of
people are having sex. But he used these videos as blackmail,
(27:57):
according to Cassie Ventura, saying that, you know, as he
would threaten my music career if I if I didn't
do what he said, He's like, I've got you know.
One of the quotes yesterday was there's skeletons in the iPad,
you know when he was texting her if she wasn't
coming over right when he wanted her to. So there
is a lot of a lot of videos and a
(28:17):
lot of broken cell devices, a lot of cell phones
that were recovered that they were able to get a
lot of these videos off of. So but to your question,
was it a competition, maybe maybe it was like who
can last the longest is the part of marathon, I guess,
or a marathon that went for hours and days.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
All right, Now you have your own YouTube channel, now
I do.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
I started a YouTube channel. It's called the Ingle Edit,
and I do a lot. I have so much content
that you know. I'm so thankful to be able to
talk to you and do the reporting I do on
News Nation and on my show on the weekends. But
there's always so much more that I have, And so
I've got this channel now that I've just started sharing
a lot of the behind the scenes content, all the
stuff I can't get to, some extra onus content, So
(29:01):
we're putting it up on the Ingle Edit, and I
hope that you will subscribe and like.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Okay, so you go to YouTube and you search for
the Ingle Edit I N G L E and subscribe

Thanks you you thanks all right? John, all right, Laura
Engelier from News Nation. And when we come back, we

the pastathon, Josh Moody. He had the highest bid and
(29:27):
he won a chance to co host here with his
with his wife, and he's going to be on. You're
going to be setting the agenda. I guess in the
three o'clock hour roundly for the next hour. Okay, that'll
that'll be very soon.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
You're listening to John Cobbel on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
You want to see me on video. My wife interviewed
me on her video podcast, Deborah Cobet Live. Debora Cobette Live.
You can see that on YouTube or Facebook. It's also
the audio is on the iHeartRadio app. So it's Debora
Cobet Live. Go there, and we recorded it yesterday on
all the hot news issues of the day. We continue
now and the big hour is coming up in just
(30:06):
a few minutes. All warmed up and ready to go.
We got Josh Moody on. He's an attorney who was
the pastathon winner. He had the high bid five six
thousand dollars, he did, and he went a shot to
help the co host here. All warmed up, All right,
here's one quick story before we go. There were you
paying attention?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
No, I am?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I know you're all drugged up, and I am I
have a cough drop in my mouth. Not the same
drugs that Cassie vent Ter.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
No, oh god, Now I'm not interested in freak off.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Or olt a thousand bottles of baby oil. That's I can't.
I don't know that. Usually I can put up with
almost anything. That trial just grosses me out.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
It's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I can't. I can't even read about it. All right.
Yesterday though, we had the story about the birds exploding
up in.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
The Bay area, and we wanted to see video of that.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
I did.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
They were stayed with the birds would land on the
power line. You hear about the story, and I did
not know birds would land on the power line and
then explode. You'd hear a pop. Where's this that? This
is in Richmond, northeast of San Francisco, all right, And
so they thought maybe the uh, the power lines weren't
coated properly, weren't protected properly, right, there was too much
(31:21):
of an electric charge, and birds were just overheating and exploding.
In fact, they found thirteen birds in neighborhood yards or
you know, the remains of thirteen birds, a mourning dove,
a European starling. So these these are pretty birds, right,
you're a bird leverage. Well, it did upset me because
(31:42):
it would be it says here a loud pop. Oh
in fact, one resident their doorbell camera, the ring camera
got footage of the bird falling after the pop, and
so they land and they just quickly explode. It's really violent,
according to one resident. So the Department of Fish and
(32:02):
Wildlife investigated, So did PG and E. There's PG and
E again on the case. Yeah, they kill a lot
of people. They're good at it. They kill them by
the hundreds of PG and A, and they kill birds. Well,
it turns out an amazing twist of the story, the
birds were not electrocuted. Some creep in the neighborhood is
(32:23):
firing either a pellet gun or a BB gun or
a slingshot.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
That's burious. Yes, and nobody caught that on ring camera.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
No, you can't see you know, what's hitting the bird
or where it's coming from. And now the department is
getting photos of birds at all over that location. And
there's some somebody's somebody's creepy teenage son.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
And well, well, you know what I'm going to say.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
No, what.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
I'm going to say that when we find this person.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Oh oh, this is Deborah's yes, irishman, Yes.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Then we need to do the same to that person.
That person needs to explode.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Fire enough shots at them until they You know.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
I'm sick and tired of people abusing animals. I'm serious,
something needs to be done.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
The birds are leaving San Francisco because there's nothing worth
pooping on there.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Oh well, Deborah's punishment recommendations are usually extreme, but I
agree with you here. I vote for yeah, all right, yeah,
you could be the new attorney general. I yeah, all right,
we come back. It's uh Josh Boody and he's the
attorney who's won the prize Katerina's Club, the auction he

steady slam. You can complain about Josh if you want.
(01:02):
That's what the moistline is for. That's right. Or you
used the talk back feature on the iHeartRadio app. All right, Josh,
So who are you now? First of all, you donated
a lot of money, like at least five six thousand dollars.
You don't even remember, do you. I don't want to
braget no, I know, but it's you know, it's for
it's for the chill. It's yeah, it's for charity.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
And I was telling you before, I never win anything, right,
I'm one of those guys. I just and I put
it in and the next.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Morning, you see, this is different. This is not like
a lottery. This is you've got to anty up the cash.
That's right. Yeah, you outdid every last year. The winner
was an attorney as well. So something about that.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
There's some personality type your audience key demo seems to be,
you know this middle aged guys who want to complain
about everything.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
That's right. That and we homeless people drug adds. It's
those two. So in fact, we met, you said in
Apple Valley years ago, where you have your office.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
My office is there. Now, back then it didn't exist.
You were and ken were doing a recall on somebody
and I was telling you I couldn't remember his name.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, I remember, I remember the event and the kind
of guy.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It was very hot. I think it was July, middle
of summer.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Whatever, the only time I was in Apple Valley and
it seemed like it was about one hundred and seventeen
degrees in a hot parking lot. And whoever was on
our staff then, who's no longer here?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
They oriented the tent so that the setting sun was
blasting into our face the entire afternoon.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
And it's one of those parking lots that's just nothing
but asphalt, like dot one, like one hundred and fifty
two degrees coming up right. So my office is there now,
but it was. The building wasn't there back then.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
But you did. You did show up.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I did show up, yes, And you're trying to put
or not you but your staff is trying to put
bumper stickers on people's cars and I'm.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I have I dried mustangs. Oh, but you get into
little shop. One of our staff members, yeah, was like,
no bumper stickers. I just don't mess with my car. Wait.
They were just putting the stickers on without asking.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
No, I think you had to get but you're having
to park, So it was you know, it's like one
way in one wall.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
We had a lot of questionable people working here back then.
Yeah in Apple Valley, you know, we're not used to
that kind of yeah business coming. So what Obviously, if
you're listening to this show and KFI and you bid
the money to come on, there must be a lot
of stuff that gets you crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, well that's what was talking to raise, like, well,
what do you want to talk about? Like, well, whatever
John talks about, because I usually just listen and I
yell at the radio.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Listening. So that's the way we could do the next
two hours if you want. Yeah, you could react to
whatever because we're going to basically regular show here and
just you get to chime in as much as you want.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, that's great. Just in my car, I get to
say whatever I want. And on radio there's a seven
words you can't say.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Well, see, I know, well Freddy just used three of them,
Freddy Escobar, so we only have four left. Well no,
I mean generally, what gets you shouting the loudest? Traffic? Taxes?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, I have a list of complaints and traffic's on
there about ten times. This is really where we're kind
of talking, and this is our first time on this
side of the city since COVID, really since COVID really
starts its twenty twenty, and traffic is just worse than one.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
It's nearly impossible to go from west to east absolutely
or east to west because yeah, yeah, I haven't seen
a Dodger game this year, primarily because it can take
two to three hours from the time I leave the
house until I get in the seat yep, And it's
like forty minutes. What you approach the parking lot, right,
(04:38):
it's about forty minutes to get in and then park
and you.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Think you think you've made it because you're getting off
the freeway, and then it's just another it's another thirty minutes,
and you're like what and then and then on top
of Bubblehead night, then yeah, did you grow up here? Yeah,
for the most part, I grew up in southern California,
out in Glendora.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So what how old are you? Roughly I'm forty seven,
forty seven, but you look forty six? Thank you're doing wrong?
What what's changed since you were a kid here? You know,
sometimes it's hard to explain to people. I remember California
just ten years ago being drastically different than it is now.
What have you seen over forty six years? I only
(05:17):
go back like thirty three, but you go back forty
six what what?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah? Well, I go, yeah, that's started listening to you.
And I was in junior high so yeah, price and say, no,
it's but.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
My dad the math is the math with my dad
in the car.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But I asked this question of people all the time,
especially you know the blue no matter who people, if
you lived here twenty years ago, just ask yourself this
is was the homeless problem as bad back then it
is now? And there's not one person who says, oh,
it was it's always been this bad. No, it's it's
so the homeless. The homeless problem has just blown up
(05:52):
the last ten to fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yeah, I'd say the first twenty years we did our
show out here, I don't think it ever came up
as a topic ever. Never, it was never.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It became a problem with leadership who told us there
was a problem. And now now there's an actual problem.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Well now there's an industry, right yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, And and and at traffic too. I mean you
could get from the Inland Empire to downtown in forty
five minutes to an hour. And it's just it's it's exponentially.
Everything is just moving so much faster and maybe devolving
so much.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Fun definitely devolving. Yes, no, there's there's not a lot
of forward movement. No, we're you know, we're that.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You know, you've talked about plenty of that high speed
trained and nowhere, and that was supposed to leviate all
the problems, and nothing's happened, right, I mean, and so.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
What's changed?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
A lot is one A lot less empty lots, a
lot less dirt. I mean, look around, you know there
used to be somewhat farms. Used to go out to Chino,
there'd be farms. It's all apartments and industrial buildings now,
and there's just so many more people and without the
infrastructure to keep up with it. And if you do
just kind of think that, you know, in the year
(07:05):
two thousand, yeah, you could walk the streets and you
wouldn't be accosted by homeless people or you will.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I remember, I talk about it all the time. We
used to go downtown all the time to go to
the theater down there, you know, the Mark Taper, the
Dorothy Chandler or I don't even know what they call
that theater. Now they change, you know, the the one
part of La Live. Oh okay, yeah, Microsoft Theater, I
think it's called. But anyway, we used to go there
all the time back then, and now she won't cross
(07:31):
the four or five. Yeah, we have those same problems too.
It's when you.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
When you set your your I don't know your life
or your or your extracurricular activities, and you say, well,
I don't want to put up with the traffic or
I don't want to put up with the people, so
I'm going to avoid doing something fun.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah you got a problem. Yeah, you go two hours
in traffic and your reward is you have eight homeless
people surrounding your car when you finally get a parking space,
if you can get a parking space, right, yeah, and
it's it's completely unlivable. Why do you think because I
got people out where you live vote differently, right right?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Where all people who came here grew up here and
said I've had enough of this, and you move out
to the suburbs.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Why do you think they vote the way they vote,
considering almost everybody I know is unhappy with the result
something disconnected along the line, where people aren't connecting their
votes to the outcomes here.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Well, in my opinion, yeah, I'm not an expert by
any means and any political discussion, but it is there
are people who their politics is their religion. And you've
talked about I think you talked about yesterday or the
day before about the religion of certain people being a
lack of faith in other institutions and following either a
(08:49):
climate agenda or a political agenda, and they ignore everything else,
and they'll make excuses for everything that people normal rational.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I consider myself somewhat rational.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I consider you somewhat rational, somewhat that we just get
out numbered by the irrational people who have.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, I mean I'm not I'm not a religious person,
but I do know that there's a basic desire in
people to believe in if not, if not a religious philosophy,
it seems a political philosophy. Like humans get attracted to
that and they invest emotionally, very deeply, and instead of
church now they invest in political parties or candidates or
(09:28):
these weird progressive movements which are very religious like in
their intensity, and there they're dogma.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Right exactly and if you say anything slightly contradictory, I mean,
people will you can lose friends over it, and people
who normally see what somewhat rat So you start talking
about some type of political issue like that and they'll
catch the trump you can't even talk about. I mean,
it's you have to kind of like give out. Can
(09:55):
we talk about we talk? Oh, okay, okay, that's good, okay,
because some people are triggered by those things.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I told the story once on the air, but there's uh,
I'm on the West Side, which is almost entirely like
a you know, progressive democratic, and my kids went to
a private school, so it's even more so there. And
we're at some cocktail party. I think it was a fundraiser.
They wanted money to build something. And I'm standing just
(10:24):
minding my own business. And you know, they all parents.
They know who I am, so they know what kind
of nonsense we discussed on the radio. And one guy
who I barely knew, he comes up to me and
he starts looking around to the left and to the right,
and up and down he goes can and he's whispering,
can I tell you something? And I'm thinking, is this
guy coming out of the closet for me. I mean,
(10:44):
that's the way he was acting like he's got this,
this terribly embarrassing secret he wants to share. And it
was about the time of the first Trump election, and
I go, oh, go ahead, and he goes, I think
I'm going to vote for Trump. I think I like
the guy. But he's so nervous, he's shaking, he's drinking is.
I said, well, it's okay, you can confess to me.
(11:05):
I didn't tell anybody. He goes, I just wanted to
tell somebody. And that's that is the way people are
so spooked and afraid to, you know, express themselves.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Absolutely, I've had I've had several friends, even just beyond Trump.
I had one particular friend who called me and asked me,
can I ask your opinion about the vaccine because it
was dogma. You line up and you get it, and
I my personal opinion is, I don't care. Do what
you want to do right, whatever makes you happy, if
(11:35):
you're happy, if you have. My biggest thing, especially as
an attorney, we as the people. Your job, the government's job,
is to give us all the information right and give
us actual facts and the real information, not your lies,
not your talking points, Give us all the facts and
let us make.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
The discuss us what it does, tell us what the risks.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Are, exactly right, and don't lie about it and let
and let the individual make their no force or you
lose your job.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
And that's where and that's kind of where we were
at that point in time. And it was because you know,
we got really sick with this vaccine and I don't
know if I.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Want to do it again. Yeah, but it's it is.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's very much like can I talk you that hush
under the Can I talk to you away from everybody else?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
We're really timid? Yeah, all right, hang on, See this
is easy, is it? Yeah? You're very good at what
you do. It's like you've been doing a long time.
There's nothing else I can't. Josh Moody is with us
and he won the contest to help co host the
show pastathon winner from last fall, and we'll continue with him.
Coming up.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Coming up after two thirty, Laura Angele and she's going
to be reporting from the p Ditty trial, which gets
more and more disgusting every day. A lot of testimony
today from Ditty's former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. That was the
woman that you probably saw in the Who's getting thrown
around the hotel? And I'll just a lot of really
(13:04):
overwhelmingly disturbing testimonies she gave because she was involved with
him for over ten years. So Laura Engle will be
coming on in just a few minutes. We continue here
with Joshua Moody, Pastathan winner and he donated the well
he bid and the high bid to win the prize,
(13:25):
and the prize is sitting here better than anything on email.
So thank you again, thank you for having me and
his wife who's a prosecutor. And I want to pronounce
your name right, So Joshua helped me pronounce her name right,
Mari Mari instead of Marry. It's Mari, Mari, it's Danish Mari.
You're a prosecutor in San Bernardino County. I am, yeah,
(13:46):
just talking to the microphone.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
It's yes, I am.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
And what kind of crimes you prosecute? All types? All types,
I mean really vicious guys. Yeah, some people, Okay, so
I want to know you're getting bad guys off the streets.
Now we are all right, you win, right, yes, okay,
we'd want losing prosecutors. We when somebody wins all the time,
(14:12):
so okay, he definitely the one who wins. You're cleaning
up San Bernardino County. That's excellent. All right, here, here's
let's let's talk about this. You know, well, you talked
about the taxes, right. Oh, we've heard of taxes in California. Okay,
so twelve years ago? Is it twelve years ago? No,
actually fourteen years ago. Jerry Brown's last budget, or his
(14:37):
first budget fourteen years ago, was ninety eight billion dollars
in the state newsome last year three hundred and thirty billion.
And we're getting a lot for our money. Yeah, so
they've more than tripled the spending. The taxes are the
highest in the country when it comes to sales taxes,
income taxes, gas taxes, and even though property taxes are
(15:00):
not among the highest in the country, the revenue is
because of all, you know, the expensive property.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I love that speaking point too, of well, prop there's
teen stops as from getting more, yeah, beach front property
in southern California complaining you're not getting enough taxes.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Come on, right, where your budget is triple what it
was fourteen years ago. Prop thirteen isn't stopping anything. Well,
he they were twenty seven billion dollars in debt, they
cut eleven, they took seven from the Rainy Day Fund,
and now they found that they're twelve billion dollars extra
(15:37):
in debt that they hadn't counted on. Do you know
what the number twelve billion? And then what that matches.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Probably the exact amount that they were spending on something
they shouldn't be spending on.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Money.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
You win again, there you go, you are a winner. Yes,
illegal alien healthcare is twelve billion dollars and the budget
deficit is twelve billion that they're telling us that they're
admitting to it the ball.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
So, ed, there's no other state that pays for legal
alien health care, and we pay for it from cradle
to grave, and which attracts you more illegal aliens. Now
that's probably something you've seen over the years, to increase
in the immigration. Oh yeah. And so here's these radical ideas.
He wants to hold down the deficit. He's going to
(16:23):
freeze new enrollment. Everybody who's in the state still gets
pre medical care. So let's get this straight.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
The new administrations pretty much stop people from coming in
here illegally.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, right, exactly, So it's a good time to freeze, yeah,
because they're not going to be here anymore. And then
if you're over eighteen, you have to pay one hundred
dollars monthly premium. So for one hundred dollars you get
full government health care coverage. I don't think our premium
is one hundred dollars a month. No, isn't that infuriated
(16:55):
as yours? I don't think yours is. No, No, No,
we got a pretty good deal because we got a
we got a union. But it's still that it's not accurate. No,
So you and I and your wife, we have to
pay much higher monthly premiums, and we have to pay
the highest taxes in the country in order to provide
(17:16):
free healthcare for I legal aliens.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Right and again, ten years ago or fourteen years ago,
even before Obamacare, is your insurance getting that much better?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Our insurance? The premiums were not that high fourteen years ago. No,
that we're paying No, I know they they mine doubled
in the last few years.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Right, So where's all this success, where's all this and
where's all this money? Go.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Why how did the budget triple or is it triple
or more than triple? Yeah? Yeah, it's ninety eight billion
to three hundred and thirty billion. And what do we get?
What do we get for it? Do we have faster
traffic lanes? Do we have better premiums? Do we have? Well?
Didn't you get a ride on the high speed rail? No? No,
(18:00):
didn't make it to Apple Valley. I didn't make it
Dapple Valley a San Fernando Valley. God, it goes so
fast nobody can see it.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah. Well they got the what's that trolley? Not trolley,
but yeah, the yellow line or something. It takes you
about two hours to get from what's yeah, what's that line?
The electric railroad?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Oh? The I don't know. You got you got some
got a secret railroad out in Apple Valley. I I
don't know because it's in Pasadena. It's in Pasadena, I
don't know. And it's supposed to it takes you to
downtown lay got light rail, that's the light ral Okay,
you know, I don't know anybody takes the light right
out there. I don't get on mass transit now a neither.
I see homeless, you know, every day a stop at
(18:41):
a bagel shop in Wilshire Boulevard, and I see who's
sitting in the buses. It's like, I'm not getting on
that right. All right? We come back Lorengo uh and
he's She's gonna tell us about the latest in the
Diddy Child.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from kf I
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
John Cobelt Show on every day from one to four
and then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand
on the iHeart app. Let's turn to Laura Engele from Newstation.
She's covering the Ditty trial in New York City. Cassie Ventura,
his girlfriend for over eleven years, was on the stand
(19:21):
today getting cross examined aggressively by Ditty's attorneys. And as
usual like yesterday, if you've got a weak's stomach, to
be wary because there's been a lot of graphic testimony
and you know he's up on sex trafficking charges. But
to set up the case, Venturia's former girlfriend is discussing
(19:45):
the lifestyle. She's not involved in any these criminal charges.
Let's get laur ango on Laura. How are you hey there? John?
Speaker 4 (19:54):
We are having another busy day Downstown, Manhattan, here with
a Ventura who's been on the stand all day, and
the session was just called we are done for the day.
And I think it's a good thing. Everybody needs a break.
I'm sure she does too. Again, nine months pregnant on
the stand now having to face off with Sean Combe's
defense team going over you know, crossing her on all
(20:18):
of the things that she said over the last two days,
talking about these sex capades, these known freak offs, where
these incidents went on for hours and days at a time,
where she had sex with multiple partners in front of
Sean Combs in hotel rooms and man today really focused
(20:39):
a lot on the amount of drugs that were used
and how often they both were using drugs, what types
of drugs, how many drugs, and you know, basically she
is painted a picture of being on drugs a lot
to numb herself through what she says she was being
asked to do from her former boyfriend. But what the
defense did today was trying to say, but when when
(21:01):
we go through these text messages, aren't we seeing that
you in fact initiated some of these freak offs. And
it did appear that some of them. You know, five
out of one hundred that were shared said you know,
I want to fo so bad, meaning I want to
freak off so bad. She claims she would say stuff
like that so that she could appease him like she
(21:21):
was the twenty sixteen infamous surveillance tape that was taken
at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles, and what we know,
it ended badly. Right we see him, I have to say,
allegedly allegedly beating her up in the hallway, and she
said she did that freak off because she wanted to
do damage control. She wanted to keep him at they
so that she could still have her movie premiere a
(21:42):
few days later. She had a big event of red
carpet coming up, and of course it didn't end well.
She had to go in with very heavy makeup. So
we just have this full, like big look behind the
scenes of the back and forth about their relationship. And
you mentioned it yesterday when we talked John. You know,
but what about the charges. We need to get to
the charges. But what people need to also remember is
(22:02):
that we're only into now day four of what is
expected to be an eight week trial. She's nine months pregnant,
they're trying to get as much information out of her
now before she goes into labor and can't be here
to testify. So a lot of background, a lot of
explaining the lifestyle, what was going on. We heard about
the baby oil again today. I don't know if you remember.
(22:23):
I've sure that the listeners remember that. Back when the
raid first happened and all that baby oil was out
of one thousand bottles of baby oil, which was predominantly
used in these freak cops, there was a rumor that
kind of got out of hand that there was drugs
inside of the oil. But she said that there was
never drugs inside of the oil, but did talk about
all of the different drugs that her and Sean had
(22:44):
done together, cocaine and GHB and molly and ecstasy and
all of it. There was a long list of drugs
that she talked about taking with him during all of this.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
This whole thing is so disgusting, really is.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Well.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
On the other thing, I was talking to one of
my producers here and a younger producer, and I said, imagine,
if you will, if you're thirty years old texting somebody
about these freak coffs. Is setting this up somebody who's
nineteen years old. Look it happens, right, she's an adult,
and the defense wuld say she's a consenting adult. We're
talking about a thirty year old man talking about setting
(23:23):
up multiple freak COFs with you know, started with it
started when they were nineteen, when she was nineteen, the
relationship did. And that's what the defense really tried to
portray today is the loving text messages, the emails, I
can't wait to see you baby, I can't wait till
we're together. I can't believe that you're going to fly
to Atlanta to see me. I can't wait. All of
that kind of stuff. But as anybody who has covered
(23:45):
domestic violence watched a domestic violence case unfold in real time,
you know that it's not always what it seems right
and it don't.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I mean, there's always a side where it was a
real romance. That's why those two people are together. And
then it gets it turns really dark and one part
wants to have absolute control and they start acting out
all their violent impulses and desires and everything goes down.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yep. So we've been going through the day talking about
the text messages, the drugs and what the mood was like.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You know.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
She was asked to describe what was what was it
like when Combs was coming off the drugs, and she said,
you know, not great. He was always irritable. She also
talked about, you know, we talked about the wrapper Kid Cutty.
She was in a relationship with him, and she described
in detail about having a break that she used to
communicate with him. She was in a relationship with him
(24:39):
when she was on a break with Shaan Comms. But
was in that break the defense springs up. Didn't she
have a freak off with Shaw Combs when she was
in a break? Why would you do that? She said,
It's hard to explain. I was just in this kind
of twisted relationship with him for a long time, so
she had a freak off when they were in a break.
She also started a romantic relationship with Kid Cutty. Is
(25:00):
the thing about you know kids car being blown up.
We talked about that. We also talked about her starting
up a relationship with the actor Michael B. Jordan also
when they were in a break. The jealousy that ensued
between these two throughout the years, one would be cheating
on the other, or one would start another relationship, the
other would get jealous. But at the end of the day,
(25:22):
almost all of these stories end with Cassie Ventura telling
the jury that she just wanted him to love her.
She just wanted to do basically whatever he said to
do so that they could be in a closer relationship.
And if it meant being with feather men while he
watched while they were covered in baby oil, so be it,
because that would mean at the end of it, she
(25:42):
could be with him at the end of the night.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Do you get any sense of how the jury is
looking at her. Are they looking at her sympathetically or
somebody who's just as nuts as Diddy?
Speaker 4 (25:53):
You know, it's a mix. The jury is a mix
of all walks of life. And I've seen them walking
in and out. They don't look at her when they're
walking past her while she's on the witness stand as
they are being seated. But for those who were in
the courtroom yesterday when they were being shown stills of
the Freakoffs, some people were seeing you know, they're trying
(26:13):
to have a poker face, right, but they have a
sense of recoiling, like of being shocked because you're seeing
you know, somebody covered in baby oil, with lubric bottles
all over the place and bottles of water. Why is
there so much water? Well, we had to hydrate.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
You know.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
There were ivs that were given to these people that
were going to these freakoffs because they were.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
So And these are photos that are being show shown
to the jury. I mean the photos of some of
the group sex acts going on and the stuff that
Diddy was forcing.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
They can't see. Yeah, we can't see the photos of
what they did is they took skills of the freakoffs
that were that were put into evidence, not shown to
the public and not shown to anybody in the court room,
only to the jurors screens in front of them, and
only to Cassie and she, you know, would look at
the screen and say, yep, that's that's me, and Greg, yep,
(27:02):
that's me, and whoever she. I think she listed twelve
different people that she was with yesterday.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
So I want to I want to word this question
just the right way, was it? Because I don't know
anything about Free Goss. I don't know about you. I
either do I find I never got invited. Are these
my competitions? You know, like like a game show? Competition
because the term frea colth makes it sound like, hey,
(27:30):
you had a group here and he had a group there.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
And right, well, you know what it sounds like to me. Well,
first of all, Sean Colmes is accused of recording all
of them, and in fact he obviously did because we
saw stills from some of these videos. So when you
think about it, I mean that to me sounds like
a porn as you're filming something where a bunch of
people are having sex. But he used these videos as blackmail,
(27:57):
according to Cassie Ventura, saying that, you know, as he
would threaten my music career if I if I didn't
do what he said, He's like, I've got you know.
One of the quotes yesterday was there's skeletons in the iPad,
you know when he was texting her if she wasn't
coming over right when he wanted her to. So there
is a lot of a lot of videos and a
(28:17):
lot of broken cell devices, a lot of cell phones
that were recovered that they were able to get a
lot of these videos off of. So but to your question,
was it a competition, maybe maybe it was like who
can last the longest is the part of marathon, I guess,
or a marathon that went for hours and days.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
All right, Now you have your own YouTube channel, now
I do.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
I started a YouTube channel. It's called the Ingle Edit,
and I do a lot. I have so much content
that you know. I'm so thankful to be able to
talk to you and do the reporting I do on
News Nation and on my show on the weekends. But
there's always so much more that I have, And so
I've got this channel now that I've just started sharing
a lot of the behind the scenes content, all the
stuff I can't get to, some extra onus content, So

(30:06):
a few minutes. All warmed up and ready to go.
We got Josh Moody on. He's an attorney who was
the pastathon winner. He had the high bid five six
thousand dollars, he did, and he went a shot to
help the co host here. All warmed up, All right,
here's one quick story before we go. There were you
paying attention?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
No, I am?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I know you're all drugged up, and I am I
have a cough drop in my mouth. Not the same
drugs that Cassie vent Ter.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
No, oh god, Now I'm not interested in freak off.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Or olt a thousand bottles of baby oil. That's I can't.
I don't know that. Usually I can put up with
almost anything. That trial just grosses me out.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
It's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I can't. I can't even read about it. All right.
Yesterday though, we had the story about the birds exploding
up in.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
The Bay area, and we wanted to see video of that.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
I did.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
They were stayed with the birds would land on the
power line. You hear about the story, and I did
not know birds would land on the power line and
then explode. You'd hear a pop. Where's this that? This
is in Richmond, northeast of San Francisco, all right, And
so they thought maybe the uh, the power lines weren't
coated properly, weren't protected properly, right, there was too much
(31:21):
of an electric charge, and birds were just overheating and exploding.
In fact, they found thirteen birds in neighborhood yards or
you know, the remains of thirteen birds, a mourning dove,
a European starling. So these these are pretty birds, right,
you're a bird leverage. Well, it did upset me because
(31:42):
it would be it says here a loud pop. Oh
in fact, one resident their doorbell camera, the ring camera
got footage of the bird falling after the pop, and
so they land and they just quickly explode. It's really violent,
according to one resident. So the Department of Fish and
(32:02):
Wildlife investigated, So did PG and E. There's PG and
E again on the case. Yeah, they kill a lot
of people. They're good at it. They kill them by
the hundreds of PG and A, and they kill birds. Well,
it turns out an amazing twist of the story, the
birds were not electrocuted. Some creep in the neighborhood is
(32:23):
firing either a pellet gun or a BB gun or
a slingshot.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
That's burious. Yes, and nobody caught that on ring camera.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
No, you can't see you know, what's hitting the bird
or where it's coming from. And now the department is
getting photos of birds at all over that location. And
there's some somebody's somebody's creepy teenage son.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
And well, well, you know what I'm going to say.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
No, what.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
I'm going to say that when we find this person.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Oh oh, this is Deborah's yes, irishman, Yes.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Then we need to do the same to that person.
That person needs to explode.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Fire enough shots at them until they You know.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
I'm sick and tired of people abusing animals. I'm serious,
something needs to be done.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
The birds are leaving San Francisco because there's nothing worth
pooping on there.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Oh well, Deborah's punishment recommendations are usually extreme, but I
agree with you here. I vote for yeah, all right, yeah,
you could be the new attorney general. I yeah, all right,
we come back. It's uh Josh Boody and he's the
attorney who's won the prize Katerina's Club, the auction he
(33:43):
