Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app,
and you can hear us on the ihart app streaming,
or you can hear us on the podcast which gets
released shortly after four o'clock, and then you could listen to.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Whatever you missed. Now Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Is well, you know what, there's a story today that
Epstein may have been an informant for the FBI and
that's why he had protection and got a very light
sentence back in the two thousands for money, was originally
arrested for having that harem of young girls. And then
(00:45):
today the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer issued all
these subpoenis, including to the Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi
and the Department of Justice. He wants the entire Jeffrey
Epstein file package and then US depositions from Bill and
Hillary Clinton and all these characters from the Obama and
(01:09):
Biden days like James Colemy and Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder,
Merrick Garland and others. Let's go to Let's go to
Royal Oaks. ABC News legal analyst, How are you Royal?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I'm doing great, John, Yeah, your overview was terrific because
it points out that the whole Epstein thing is morphing
from oh, you know who was involved with these underage
women and who might have helped cover it up. Now
that's still be great if you find one of your
political enemies is guilty on those fronts, But now it's
morphing too. What about the prosecution from the presidency through
(01:43):
the Attorney General, through the various prosecutors. Were there deals
that were cut? You are there documents that will show
that James Commey and Robert Muller, the former FBI directors,
were on the deposition list. Do they have something interesting
to say? Of course Bill and Hillary Clinton will fight.
They'll say it's privile and you know we were at
the tip top, but we could be in for some
interesting court fights or any depositions.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
So how do how do all these well most of
them are cabinet officials, but like Bill and Hillary, how
do they get around subpoenas from from a congressional committee.
Let's say they have stuff to hide or stuff they
don't want to talk about publicly. What what can they do?
Can can they can they legally drag this out forever
(02:28):
is there? Or would just take the Fifth Amendment on
all the questions.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, So here's what happens. The House Committee votes to
issue the subpoenas. Subpoenas are out there, and of course
you call up the representatives of the Clintons and James
call me, will you accept this? We don't have to
chase you down the street. So you've cut a deal.
Then the people whose depositions are scheduled to Clinton's whoever,
they are charged with contempt of court by the Congress
(02:55):
when they don't show up at their deposition because they've
filed written objections, and then one they're charged with contempt.
It's in the hands of a judge. So there, John
is a key question. You know, who appointed the judge.
If it's a Democrat president, you're probably going to get
a favorable rule to the Democrats and vice versa. But
that's the procedure.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
There are no neutral judges anymore. Huh.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's the problem. You know, you got a very the
most political animal on the planet appoint every single federal judge,
and of course you know they're going to appoint people
who you know, want to put a smile on the
face of the big guy who parted him there.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I didn't know if you saw this story. It's from
a gossip sheet right or online, but it said Epstein
may have been an FBI informant and that's why he
got a very light sentence back in around two thousand
and seven where he was, you know, he was accused
of being involved with with young girls and he got
basically house arrested on weekends. There's a two thousand and
(03:51):
eight internal file that's been leaked a Freedom of Information
Act lawsuit shows that Epstein was an FBI informant before
his sweetheart deal, and a special agent said Epstein has
also provided information to the FBI as agreed upon. He
wrote this in an internal cable, and case agent advised
(04:14):
that no federal prosecution will occur in this matter. So
does this explain Epstein's ability to last as long as
he did?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
It sure does. And it ties right in with the
theme here of this morphing from the salacious to the legal.
Because here's what's going to happen. The people who are
asking questions of the Clintons and the rest are going
to focus on this issue. Was there a confidential informant
arrangement or not should it have been made public or
was it improperly hidden? And to the extent we went
(04:45):
easy on him, calling him an informant. Did we do
it to protect the names of some big dudes who
had been to Pedo Island? All of that is going
to be fair game. And of course nobody knows whose
ox is going to be Gordon terms of Republican or
Democrat names doing bad things. But yeah, we're heading down
kind of the dark road.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
The US attorney at the time for the Southern District
of Florida it was Alex Acosta. He became Trump Labor
Labor Secretary and then resigned after the news came out
about his role in the Epstein deal. Acosta claimed he'd
been told to back off Epstein. I was told Epstein
quote belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
And when that came out, he's going to give ammunition.
He'll give ammunition to the Democrats who say this is
political that the reason Acosta's name was left off of
the list of a dozen witnesses having to give deposition
testimony is he's playing ball with the Trump folks. That
will be the allegation.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
But there's definitely something more serious going on. It seems
that way just from the Trump administration's behavior where they
were bragging about how they were going to release every
last bit of the Epstein files and then suddenly all now,
there's really nothing here, and nobody believes that. Obviously, you
have people at all sides saying, oh, come on, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I mean, when there's this much smoke, there's probably some
fire under there. You never know until you take the
billows and blow it away, But yeah, chances are there's
something pretty juicy down there.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Ask you something else.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
We opened the show with Michael Monks doing a report
on ice showing up in the Westlake section of Los Angeles,
And have you familiar with the story ice? This morning
had a not an ice van, but a rented Penske
truck and they rolled into a home depot and the
(06:41):
driver said, Hey, I need workers, I need workers. And
when the workers came running, they rolled up the back
of the truck. All these ice agents came piling out,
and they arrested sixteen guys. Now, does that violate the
temporary restraining order that the District Court and the Court
of Appeals had.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
In votes, So it sounds a little like it could
be entrapment, kind of like back in the day with
John Dolorian and cocaine. Yeah, it sounds like it, because
I think the gist to the order is Ice was
accused of going out there and just arresting willy nilly
without having probable cause that this person they're arresting actually
probably committed a crime of some kind, whether immigration or
(07:21):
non immigration related. And so now, to the extent, that's
the rule, and that's what's been winning in court. To
the extent this sort of gotcha maneuver violates that, I
can see the judguis of the order saying, you know,
you've violated the spirit of my order. On the other hand,
if they pull a judge that is maybe more favorable
(07:41):
to Donald Trump's immigration procedures, might be a different conclusion.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
But if the Trump administration does stuff like this, can
any judge or an appeals court stop them? Because the
you know, the all the agents were wearing masks, so
they're not going to be disciplined. The illegal aliens that
they captured, they're probably all gone and been deported. So
who would a judge go after And how could a
(08:09):
judge go after anybody?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
And yeah, the analogy is, remember a few months ago.
Judge was really cranky over the fact that he said
the airplane shall not take this guy to El salvadorp Supermax.
And allegedly Trump's people ignored the oral statement from the
bench saying, oh, well, we'll wait till we get the
snall mail version of his order, which we're supposed to do.
And the judge got really angry at the Trump administration,
(08:33):
and they investigate. The judge holds hearings and has people
testify under oath, who told you to do this? Who
said stand out? Who said ignore the federal judge's order?
And so you get to the bottom of who did it,
and that person John goes to jail for contempt if
the judge feels that the conduct.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Was egregious enough, so they'd have to do a full
blown investigation and see who said disorder because it was tap.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Dancing and molasses. You know, everybody's taken the sift. Everybody's
got to have a lawyer and delays. Right, if you
want to get to the bottom of something like that, Yeah,
it's these procedures are available, all.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Right, Royal Oaks.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
ABC News legal analysts, thank you your bad thanks.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
All right, You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Moistline for Friday is eight seven seven Moist eighty six.
Eight seven seven Moist eighty six, So use the talkback
feature on the iHeartRadio app. Eight seven seven Moist eighty six.
There was a run of mail theft in Studio City.
You may have heard this story. I love this story
because the locals got sick of this this idiot breaking
(09:44):
into their mailboxes and stealing their mail every day, and
they went after the guy. And to describe what happened,
we're going to play you ABC seven reporter David Gonzalez.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Residents in this community say they've been targeted by this
civic suspect who has been stealing their mail. But all
these residents banded together and last night they came face
to face with that suspect, and part of that confrontation
was captured on video.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
You like to steal mail? You like to steal mail? Yeah,
you like to steal mail? Huh huh huh? Do you
like to steal good? Where are you going?
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (10:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Check out this amazing video of neighbors fighting back against
the suspected thief after they spotted him. Residents cornered the
man they say had been stealing their mail for quite
some time. Things quickly escalated when the suspect was confronted.
He was pepper sprayed and his windshield was smashed with
a baseball bat as he tries to flee. The neighbor
who shot the video described a moment leading up to
(10:41):
catching the suspect red handed.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
I swear like the universe is part of the scene.
Was like, here you go, Tim, this is the guy
that's been stealing from you. And we're like, there's no
way it's Tim. There's no way with that.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Lucky.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
I popped out to film him to say, hey, you
like to rob us, and he tried to swat the
phone away, so he went to swing miss I sprayed
him again. He swung and missed, and then I was like,
all right, I'm gonna unload it. That did work, so
then he charged at.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Being sadly despite the confrontation all and called the police
as suspect was able to get away. Neighbors have been
posting flyers of the man and hope that he will
be caught very soon. Residents in this community say they're
ready to basically catch this guy. If he ever decides
to come back to this area. And just to give
(11:24):
you an idea as to how serious they are. Right now,
we're on the corner of Valley Hearts and Long Ridge,
and these guys are calling themselves the Valley Hearts Vigilantes.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
There we go. That's what looks like. That's the world.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
We're headed towards vigilanti groups in the neighborhoods because Karen
Bash defunded the police and she doesn't want local crime
laws enforced, and nobody wants to keep these people in prison,
So it's every man for himself.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
And next time the suspected male thief is going to
be shot instead of pepper sprayed.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yes, that's going to be the next step.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
You're going to have people sick and tired of what's
going on and start shooting at people. Didn't breaking into
their houses and stealing mail.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Didn't somebody in Studio City shot in his rider the
other day? Yes, Yeah, I guess that's that's what people
are gonna have to do. I mean, what's the choice here?
You got a mayor in the city council that does
not want to fund the police properly and and enforce
all the laws. So I guess it's do what you
have to do, right, I mean, I played well, I
want to play just the confrontation again. This is where
(12:27):
he got pepper spray. I just love you like.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I love to sound.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
The guy makes though when he gets it Someboddy.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You like to steal mail? You like to steal mail?
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Yeah, you like to steal mail.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Huh huh do you like to steal mail? You like
to steal mail man? Go ahead, go ahead, where are
you going? Oh? That is great.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
So one of the mail carriers was robbed of his
mail key, and I guess that's some kind of all
purpose key that opens any lock.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, I don't know how that works.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
I was trying to figure that out. But maybe I
think there's a bunch of mailboxes in that area. Maybe
maybe just for that specific neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, or is it an apartment building condom?
Speaker 8 (13:27):
Maybe because I saw that there was a bunch of
them together.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Because I have a mailbox with a key, but there's
a slot that the mailman drops in at the top.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
So well, I've had my mail stolen before. So we
had to replace our mailbox with where you really can't
get into it. Well, it's ridiculous that I had to
do that.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I had we had the mail being stolen by people
in our local post office. We would go to the
post office and drop a payments for bills, and the
bills the payments are checks. Back when we were writing,
checks never arrived repeatedly over and over, and my wife
(14:09):
would go directly to that post office and take the
mail there. Checks would disappear. And then she investigated one
time and it turned out somebody had used some kind
of acid wash to erase to erase the name of
the company we were paying and put in their own name.
(14:30):
And it had to be somebody at the post office,
because as soon as we and I was reading on
the next door app everybody in the neighborhood who was
complaining about this, there's thieves that the US Postal Service
has hired as employees that we're paying for and they
work inside the local post office.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And then they steal checks.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Although you know, not many people using checks anymore, so
I guess that's more difficult, But incoming checks can be stolen.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
The uh bremer said.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I popped up to him, He tried to swap the
phone away, he went to swing and missed and I
sprayed him again. He's swung and missed, and then I
was like, all right, I'm gonna unload it. That didn't
work and he charged at me, but he did get away.
And uh, he thinks Bremer thinks the guy pulled a
knife because there was he had some blood on him
(15:24):
and Brember can't tell if he got stabbed or not,
but there's blood on him to somebody, somebody got cut.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
This is what I guess. That's what we're gonna have
to do, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Meantime, Uh, you know it's that city council member Unicis
Hernandez is complaining about the ICE agents rounding up illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
That's what's got her angry.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Karen Bass today was very public upset that ICE is
rounding up a legal aliens. But you've got local people
in Studio City. A few days ago a guy had
to shoot an intruder. Now this group of residents had
to pepper spray a thief. But you see Bass and
unites her natives, doesn't care about that. They don't care
(16:07):
if you get hurt, if your stuff gets stolen, your
house gets burglarized, SEO. The other day, we had a
couple who got murdered. No outrage from card Bass over
the murder. I wasn't aware that she said any she
had any comment any single thing she said publicly, nor
any other public official.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
They just screaming about illegal aliens.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Is there some special research that says people in Los
Angeles only care about illegal aliens and don't care about
having their homes broken into, don't care about possibly getting murdered,
don't care about people stealing their mail. No response from
Karen Bass in the City Council on any of those
(16:50):
issues ever. Just illegal aliens getting rounded up, and that's
none of their business. That's a federal government issue, not
your business. That's the federal government's job. And they're not
going to stop anyway. You're screaming into the wind. There's
nothing Karen Bass can do to stop that.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
This story broke yesterday while we were on the air,
and I just wanted to add something to it. Trump
has declared himself the chairman of the LA Olympics Task Force,
and he is in his entire cabinet on this Olympic committee,
and Casey Washerman is chairman of LA twenty eight and
this was an event at the White House and he attended,
(17:34):
and he thanked Trump for leaning in to plan for
an Olympics and said, You've been supportive and helpful every
step of the way. He said, it's like hosting seven
Super Bowls a day for thirty days. And he is
a longtime Democratic donor, very close with the Clintons. His
(17:56):
father was a major Hollywood moogul years ago, also big
Democratic donor, but in recent months he's diversified big donations
to the National Republican Senate Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee,
the House Speaker's Leadership Fund. He's publicly praised Trump's commitment
to the Games. He's gone to Marra a Lago, and
(18:20):
he's even given Trump some Olympic medals. And obviously some
of that is that's that's how that's how you get
Trump to cooperate, as you curry favor with him and
flatterman all that. I think a lot of people in
politics know this, But also I think it's that you know,
if I.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Was him, just standing.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
On the outside, I wouldn't trust basketball, this Olympics, the
Olympic Games off. I wouldn't I don't think she's capable. Honestly,
think she's so far over her head. And all she
was was a legislator who liked the cited conference tables
and just talk talk about policy ideas or you know,
(19:05):
right nonsense legislation. I don't think she has any qualifications
or the brains or even the desire to help plan
for the Olympic Games. I read the other day that
they were supposed to have hundreds of bus shelters because
this was going to be the no car Olympics, and
I guess there was going to be some kind of
Olympic bus service. They only built twenty three. You know,
(19:32):
it's really fascinating how all these left wing governments can't
build anything. It's like the Biden administration had billions of
dollars set aside to build electric charging stations around the
country and after three years they had only built eight.
But nothing can get built at all, just the basics.
(19:54):
Can't build a charging station, which isn't that complicated. Can't
build a bus shelter, and this is gonna be such
a huge such a huge crowd is gonna come. If
I were running things, I wouldn't trust her. Yeah, I'd
be I'd be kissing Trump's ass on all day and
(20:17):
all night and donating money to whatever he wants because
he can get things done. He can build stuff. I mean,
I could see the buildings he's built. I can't see
anything Karen Bass has ever built. I don't I can't
see anything she's ever organized, anything that she's ever run
like in the real world, in the physical world, she's
(20:41):
she's never done anything. We've seen what's happened with the
battles ades. There's still only a handful of permits that
have been that have been released, and somebody's got to
take control and clean up the city.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
You got to clean up the homeless people.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
They got to go, and the garbage and the tents,
and you know, all the feces and the needles, everything
no way, and the public, you know, they could stop
scrowling if you get just a tiny bit of pride
in the in the city, in the region. Can't have
the world, whole world come here and see all the
(21:19):
filth that we've agreed to live in. There is a
street on the west side. I went to the car
wash the other day. By the way, there are many
fewer car.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Wash workers these days.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
It took twice as long to get the car lead
and which is fine. And but there's there's like a
back street. It's a street that's it's called Cottoner and
it's uh, I guess this is Westwood and it's there's
a light industrial area. It's all in industry buildings, no
(21:58):
homes on Cottoner. And that's on the right side of
the street. On the left side of the street is
the four or five. Oh my god, it's the third
Circle of Hell. You would not believe the living conditions
people living in the streets an intense, so much garbage.
(22:18):
There was one huge mound of garbage and I wanted
to take a picture of it, except there's no way
I was stopping because all these wild eyed, emaciated, zombie
drug addicts are stumbling around, males females. And I think
that's Katie Roslavsky's district.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I think it's not. It's not.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
It's not Tracy Parks district. That block it's on the
other side of the four or five. But oh my,
couldn't believe how horrible it was. And I've seen this
this block before because it's the getaway block to get
back onto the.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Four or five. Whoa.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
I mean, I've traveled to a lot of poor third
world countries.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I have not seen what this looked like.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I saw a mound of garbage that I swear I've
never seen in a civilized nation before. There's so much
busted up, broken debris. The people living on that block
and in the tents have such a frightening, hollowed eyed
look on their face. Yeah, and this is maybe, I
(23:31):
don't know, three miles from my house, four miles from
my house, all this has got to go. I know
much of downtown is like this again.
Speaker 8 (23:43):
I just don't understand how this is all going to
be cleaned up for the Olympics and the World Cup,
and you know what, forget about those huge venues. We're
sick and tired.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Of living this way, I know, but it's going to
take the World Cup and the Olympics to clean up
I think a lot of it.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
You're never going to do it for us.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
Right, But what I'm saying is, yes, it will be
great to do it for those venues, but I want
it done tomorrow for us.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
We don't have a soul in government outside of Tracy
Park that I'm aware of who cares. Because this garbage
has been around for like seven to ten years now.
I mean, that's the car wash I've gone to for
a long time, and it's always been bad, but somehow
it got significantly worse since the last car watch. I
really I jammed in my brakes briefly, and I thought, no,
(24:33):
I can't do it because I wanted to take a
photo and I wanted to put it out up, put
it up on Twitter. But good lord, why why do
we have to live? And then that's what infuriates me.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I listened to you. Your news infuriates one.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
It infuriates me that I have to read it.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
And I'm hearing clips about our screaming or illegal aliens,
like stop, you lost that battle. The illegal aliens are
going They got thirteen That ICE has thirteen times the
money they did last year, and that's going to be
every year.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Every year.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
It's going to thirteen times the money you got three
and a half years of Trump unless he drops dead,
and then jad Vans is gonna do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
So there's nothing you can do. Just think.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
You know, By the way, what ends the argument for
me is we're paying thirty five billion in state tax
money for legal aliens. Well, I'm sick of that. Since
you can't keep the streets clean, you can't pave them.
So since you don't spend the money on four on
building mental health treatment centers and drug treatment centers, it's
(25:30):
thirty five billion on illegal aliens. It's you know what,
I don't care if Trump violates every single court order
from now to doomsday. Go ahead, violate all the orders.
Enough of you people, you had ten years, you blew it.
I'm with like the Studio City people who pepper sprayed
that guy, or the n the Studio City homeowner who
shot the intruder. So we're gonna have to do this ourselves.
(25:53):
We're gonna have to carry guns, we're gonna have to
carry pepper spray. We're gonna have to violate toward orders.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
You know.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
I was talking to a small business owner whose business
was burglarized, and I told him, I said, you know,
next time, if somebody comes in while you're there, Fortunately
it happened when he wasn't. I said, you got to
shoot them. And he said, but I'm the one that's
going to go to jail because he has to prove
that his life is in danger. And I feel that
if somebody breaks into my home that already tells me
(26:20):
that my life could be in danger. I'm not going
to sit there and prove it. Why do I have
to prove it.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Nobody's going to convict you, not in La And it's better.
It's better than getting killed. Of course.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
You know, you're just gonna have to go through a
trial and win, and it beats getting killed. And this
is how we have to think. Because Karen Bass.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Moistline for Friday eight seven seven Moist Steady six eight
seven seven Moist staty six are usually talkback feature on
the iHeartRadio app. After Debor's News at three o'clock, we're
gonna have John Mann on. He and his law firm
have been fighting sex abuse cases against all the big institutions,
whether it's a Catholic church, Los Angeles school district in
(27:12):
La County. You may remember, the county agreed in April
to a four billion dollars settlement seven thousand cases of
sexual abuse inside the county's juvenile detention facilities and foster
homes going back decades. Four billion dollars they've got to
pay out. But Manly is saying what I thought about frequently, well,
(27:34):
like who did it? He said, this is essentially Epstein Island,
supervised by the LA County Probation officers. And he goes,
there's no outrage and there's a settlement, but who's responsible here?
So I'll talk with John Manley about that coming up
after three o'clock. It's not often there's a sex toys
(27:59):
ski handle. I knew you'd perk up.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
It's been a day.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
I need some perking up.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I noticed that they're using the term sex toys in
some of the news articles.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Is the D word not permitted?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
High?
Speaker 8 (28:15):
I haven't used it. I don't know if it's permitted
or not.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I guess we'll call it sex toys. But because sounds
so clinical, I know it does. Well.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
You may have heard they're throwing green phallic like sex
toys onto a WNBA courts, the Women's league, and it's
really rude and really funny, and it's become a thing.
We're going to play you a montage here. This is
clips from four different games. Golden State versus Atlanta, Golden
(28:46):
State versus Chicago, Indiana Fever versus the La Sparks here
at the Crypto Arena. Right, that was last night. That
was last night. And then the New York Liberty versus Dallas,
which was also last night. Yeah, well, let's let's see
what happened.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
Hayes gets plumped by by a callswell. Something flies on
the court actually from the crowd.
Speaker 9 (29:07):
The officials will say they will continue playing as that
goes off the fingertips of the valkyries.
Speaker 8 (29:15):
And you can see the object the block right there,
and the object comes that green thing bounces and it
goes to the sideline.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
We're not exactly where. I'm not sure where it came from.
No room for any of that type of activity. Yeah,
and that once pick the objects up.
Speaker 7 (29:34):
Yet you got scale, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Okay, because they finally realized what it.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Was inappropriate.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Them out of you whoever it.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Is, got a whistle away from the basketball. Oh look out.
Then just came into the floor. An object of just
flew in as the free throw was being.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Made.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
It looked like that hit a player too. This was
last night.
Speaker 9 (30:18):
Now nowhere are you?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Okay? Did I hit you?
Speaker 6 (30:48):
So? In New York someone threw it but it didn't
make it all the way to the court and it
landed in front of somebody in the section behind the basket,
and so that was fan video video and secure see
the adult toy on the ground, ask someone, Hey, do
you have some plastic that I can grab it so
we can cover it up so people don't see what
it is. And then the lady was asking the lady
(31:09):
behind her, did you get hit by it?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Well, nobody wants to pick it up. You don't know
where it's been.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
But then in La in the Indiana Fever game, Sophie
Cunningham of the Indiana Fever was actually hit by the
toys at the free throw line.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Are pardon my.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Lack of expertise here, are they heavy? Like if somebody
whips it, is it going to hurt?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Could it? Could it injury you? Or depends on how
big it might be.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
Can we not?
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I think it's not for the news, something that we're
not familiar with. H When we come back, John Manley
is going to talk about the four billion dollar lawsuit
against La County for all this sexual abuse against seven
(32:02):
thousand kids who are in the detention centers and foster
homes over decades.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
But there's nobody really held.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Accountable by name, and he says, this is Epstein Island
being supervised by La County Probation officers. We'll talk to
John Manley about it next. Deborah Mark live in the
CAFI twenty four our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to
The John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the
show live on KFI AM six forty from one to
four pm every Monday through Friday, and of course, anytime
(32:30):
on demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app,
and you can hear us on the ihart app streaming,
or you can hear us on the podcast which gets
released shortly after four o'clock, and then you could listen to.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Whatever you missed. Now Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Is well, you know what, there's a story today that
Epstein may have been an informant for the FBI and
that's why he had protection and got a very light
sentence back in the two thousands for money, was originally
arrested for having that harem of young girls. And then
(00:45):
today the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer issued all
these subpoenis, including to the Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi
and the Department of Justice. He wants the entire Jeffrey
Epstein file package and then US depositions from Bill and
Hillary Clinton and all these characters from the Obama and
(01:09):
Biden days like James Colemy and Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder,
Merrick Garland and others. Let's go to Let's go to
Royal Oaks. ABC News legal analyst, How are you Royal?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I'm doing great, John, Yeah, your overview was terrific because
it points out that the whole Epstein thing is morphing
from oh, you know who was involved with these underage
women and who might have helped cover it up. Now
that's still be great if you find one of your
political enemies is guilty on those fronts, But now it's
morphing too. What about the prosecution from the presidency through
(01:43):
the Attorney General, through the various prosecutors. Were there deals
that were cut? You are there documents that will show
that James Commey and Robert Muller, the former FBI directors,
were on the deposition list. Do they have something interesting
to say? Of course Bill and Hillary Clinton will fight.
They'll say it's privile and you know we were at
the tip top, but we could be in for some
interesting court fights or any depositions.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
So how do how do all these well most of
them are cabinet officials, but like Bill and Hillary, how
do they get around subpoenas from from a congressional committee.
Let's say they have stuff to hide or stuff they
don't want to talk about publicly. What what can they do?
Can can they can they legally drag this out forever
(02:28):
is there? Or would just take the Fifth Amendment on
all the questions.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, So here's what happens. The House Committee votes to
issue the subpoenas. Subpoenas are out there, and of course
you call up the representatives of the Clintons and James
call me, will you accept this? We don't have to
chase you down the street. So you've cut a deal.
Then the people whose depositions are scheduled to Clinton's whoever,
they are charged with contempt of court by the Congress
(02:55):
when they don't show up at their deposition because they've
filed written objections, and then one they're charged with contempt.
It's in the hands of a judge. So there, John
is a key question. You know, who appointed the judge.
If it's a Democrat president, you're probably going to get
a favorable rule to the Democrats and vice versa. But
that's the procedure.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
There are no neutral judges anymore. Huh.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's the problem. You know, you got a very the
most political animal on the planet appoint every single federal judge,
and of course you know they're going to appoint people
who you know, want to put a smile on the
face of the big guy who parted him there.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I didn't know if you saw this story. It's from
a gossip sheet right or online, but it said Epstein
may have been an FBI informant and that's why he
got a very light sentence back in around two thousand
and seven where he was, you know, he was accused
of being involved with with young girls and he got
basically house arrested on weekends. There's a two thousand and
(03:51):
eight internal file that's been leaked a Freedom of Information
Act lawsuit shows that Epstein was an FBI informant before
his sweetheart deal, and a special agent said Epstein has
also provided information to the FBI as agreed upon. He
wrote this in an internal cable, and case agent advised
(04:14):
that no federal prosecution will occur in this matter. So
does this explain Epstein's ability to last as long as
he did?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
It sure does. And it ties right in with the
theme here of this morphing from the salacious to the legal.
Because here's what's going to happen. The people who are
asking questions of the Clintons and the rest are going
to focus on this issue. Was there a confidential informant
arrangement or not should it have been made public or
was it improperly hidden? And to the extent we went
(04:45):
easy on him, calling him an informant. Did we do
it to protect the names of some big dudes who
had been to Pedo Island? All of that is going
to be fair game. And of course nobody knows whose
ox is going to be Gordon terms of Republican or
Democrat names doing bad things. But yeah, we're heading down
kind of the dark road.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
The US attorney at the time for the Southern District
of Florida it was Alex Acosta. He became Trump Labor
Labor Secretary and then resigned after the news came out
about his role in the Epstein deal. Acosta claimed he'd
been told to back off Epstein. I was told Epstein
quote belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
And when that came out, he's going to give ammunition.
He'll give ammunition to the Democrats who say this is
political that the reason Acosta's name was left off of
the list of a dozen witnesses having to give deposition
testimony is he's playing ball with the Trump folks. That
will be the allegation.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
But there's definitely something more serious going on. It seems
that way just from the Trump administration's behavior where they
were bragging about how they were going to release every
last bit of the Epstein files and then suddenly all now,
there's really nothing here, and nobody believes that. Obviously, you
have people at all sides saying, oh, come on, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I mean, when there's this much smoke, there's probably some
fire under there. You never know until you take the
billows and blow it away, But yeah, chances are there's
something pretty juicy down there.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Ask you something else.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
We opened the show with Michael Monks doing a report
on ice showing up in the Westlake section of Los Angeles,
And have you familiar with the story ice? This morning
had a not an ice van, but a rented Penske
truck and they rolled into a home depot and the
(06:41):
driver said, Hey, I need workers, I need workers. And
when the workers came running, they rolled up the back
of the truck. All these ice agents came piling out,
and they arrested sixteen guys. Now, does that violate the
temporary restraining order that the District Court and the Court
of Appeals had.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
In votes, So it sounds a little like it could
be entrapment, kind of like back in the day with
John Dolorian and cocaine. Yeah, it sounds like it, because
I think the gist to the order is Ice was
accused of going out there and just arresting willy nilly
without having probable cause that this person they're arresting actually
probably committed a crime of some kind, whether immigration or
(07:21):
non immigration related. And so now, to the extent, that's
the rule, and that's what's been winning in court. To
the extent this sort of gotcha maneuver violates that, I
can see the judguis of the order saying, you know,
you've violated the spirit of my order. On the other hand,
if they pull a judge that is maybe more favorable
(07:41):
to Donald Trump's immigration procedures, might be a different conclusion.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
But if the Trump administration does stuff like this, can
any judge or an appeals court stop them? Because the
you know, the all the agents were wearing masks, so
they're not going to be disciplined. The illegal aliens that
they captured, they're probably all gone and been deported. So
who would a judge go after And how could a
(08:09):
judge go after anybody?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
And yeah, the analogy is, remember a few months ago.
Judge was really cranky over the fact that he said
the airplane shall not take this guy to El salvadorp Supermax.
And allegedly Trump's people ignored the oral statement from the
bench saying, oh, well, we'll wait till we get the
snall mail version of his order, which we're supposed to do.
And the judge got really angry at the Trump administration,
(08:33):
and they investigate. The judge holds hearings and has people
testify under oath, who told you to do this? Who
said stand out? Who said ignore the federal judge's order?
And so you get to the bottom of who did it,
and that person John goes to jail for contempt if
the judge feels that the conduct.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Was egregious enough, so they'd have to do a full
blown investigation and see who said disorder because it was tap.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Dancing and molasses. You know, everybody's taken the sift. Everybody's
got to have a lawyer and delays. Right, if you
want to get to the bottom of something like that, Yeah,
it's these procedures are available, all.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Right, Royal Oaks.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
ABC News legal analysts, thank you your bad thanks.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
All right, You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Moistline for Friday is eight seven seven Moist eighty six.
Eight seven seven Moist eighty six, So use the talkback
feature on the iHeartRadio app. Eight seven seven Moist eighty six.
There was a run of mail theft in Studio City.
You may have heard this story. I love this story
because the locals got sick of this this idiot breaking
(09:44):
into their mailboxes and stealing their mail every day, and
they went after the guy. And to describe what happened,
we're going to play you ABC seven reporter David Gonzalez.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Residents in this community say they've been targeted by this
civic suspect who has been stealing their mail. But all
these residents banded together and last night they came face
to face with that suspect, and part of that confrontation
was captured on video.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
You like to steal mail? You like to steal mail? Yeah,
you like to steal mail? Huh huh huh? Do you
like to steal good? Where are you going?
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (10:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Check out this amazing video of neighbors fighting back against
the suspected thief after they spotted him. Residents cornered the
man they say had been stealing their mail for quite
some time. Things quickly escalated when the suspect was confronted.
He was pepper sprayed and his windshield was smashed with
a baseball bat as he tries to flee. The neighbor
who shot the video described a moment leading up to
(10:41):
catching the suspect red handed.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
I swear like the universe is part of the scene.
Was like, here you go, Tim, this is the guy
that's been stealing from you. And we're like, there's no
way it's Tim. There's no way with that.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Lucky.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
I popped out to film him to say, hey, you
like to rob us, and he tried to swat the
phone away, so he went to swing miss I sprayed
him again. He swung and missed, and then I was like,
all right, I'm gonna unload it. That did work, so
then he charged at.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Being sadly despite the confrontation all and called the police
as suspect was able to get away. Neighbors have been
posting flyers of the man and hope that he will
be caught very soon. Residents in this community say they're
ready to basically catch this guy. If he ever decides
to come back to this area. And just to give
(11:24):
you an idea as to how serious they are. Right now,
we're on the corner of Valley Hearts and Long Ridge,
and these guys are calling themselves the Valley Hearts Vigilantes.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
There we go. That's what looks like. That's the world.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
We're headed towards vigilanti groups in the neighborhoods because Karen
Bash defunded the police and she doesn't want local crime
laws enforced, and nobody wants to keep these people in prison,
So it's every man for himself.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
And next time the suspected male thief is going to
be shot instead of pepper sprayed.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yes, that's going to be the next step.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
You're going to have people sick and tired of what's
going on and start shooting at people. Didn't breaking into
their houses and stealing mail.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Didn't somebody in Studio City shot in his rider the
other day? Yes, Yeah, I guess that's that's what people
are gonna have to do. I mean, what's the choice here?
You got a mayor in the city council that does
not want to fund the police properly and and enforce
all the laws. So I guess it's do what you
have to do, right, I mean, I played well, I
want to play just the confrontation again. This is where
(12:27):
he got pepper spray. I just love you like.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I love to sound.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
The guy makes though when he gets it Someboddy.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You like to steal mail? You like to steal mail?
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Yeah, you like to steal mail.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Huh huh do you like to steal mail? You like
to steal mail man? Go ahead, go ahead, where are
you going? Oh? That is great.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
So one of the mail carriers was robbed of his
mail key, and I guess that's some kind of all
purpose key that opens any lock.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, I don't know how that works.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
I was trying to figure that out. But maybe I
think there's a bunch of mailboxes in that area. Maybe
maybe just for that specific neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, or is it an apartment building condom?
Speaker 8 (13:27):
Maybe because I saw that there was a bunch of
them together.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Because I have a mailbox with a key, but there's
a slot that the mailman drops in at the top.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
So well, I've had my mail stolen before. So we
had to replace our mailbox with where you really can't
get into it. Well, it's ridiculous that I had to
do that.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I had we had the mail being stolen by people
in our local post office. We would go to the
post office and drop a payments for bills, and the
bills the payments are checks. Back when we were writing,
checks never arrived repeatedly over and over, and my wife
(14:09):
would go directly to that post office and take the
mail there. Checks would disappear. And then she investigated one
time and it turned out somebody had used some kind
of acid wash to erase to erase the name of
the company we were paying and put in their own name.
(14:30):
And it had to be somebody at the post office,
because as soon as we and I was reading on
the next door app everybody in the neighborhood who was
complaining about this, there's thieves that the US Postal Service
has hired as employees that we're paying for and they
work inside the local post office.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And then they steal checks.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Although you know, not many people using checks anymore, so
I guess that's more difficult, But incoming checks can be stolen.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
The uh bremer said.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I popped up to him, He tried to swap the
phone away, he went to swing and missed and I
sprayed him again. He's swung and missed, and then I
was like, all right, I'm gonna unload it. That didn't
work and he charged at me, but he did get away.
And uh, he thinks Bremer thinks the guy pulled a
knife because there was he had some blood on him
(15:24):
and Brember can't tell if he got stabbed or not,
but there's blood on him to somebody, somebody got cut.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
This is what I guess. That's what we're gonna have
to do, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Meantime, Uh, you know it's that city council member Unicis
Hernandez is complaining about the ICE agents rounding up illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
That's what's got her angry.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Karen Bass today was very public upset that ICE is
rounding up a legal aliens. But you've got local people
in Studio City. A few days ago a guy had
to shoot an intruder. Now this group of residents had
to pepper spray a thief. But you see Bass and
unites her natives, doesn't care about that. They don't care
(16:07):
if you get hurt, if your stuff gets stolen, your
house gets burglarized, SEO. The other day, we had a
couple who got murdered. No outrage from card Bass over
the murder. I wasn't aware that she said any she
had any comment any single thing she said publicly, nor
any other public official.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
They just screaming about illegal aliens.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Is there some special research that says people in Los
Angeles only care about illegal aliens and don't care about
having their homes broken into, don't care about possibly getting murdered,
don't care about people stealing their mail. No response from
Karen Bass in the City Council on any of those
(16:50):
issues ever. Just illegal aliens getting rounded up, and that's
none of their business. That's a federal government issue, not
your business. That's the federal government's job. And they're not
going to stop anyway. You're screaming into the wind. There's
nothing Karen Bass can do to stop that.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
This story broke yesterday while we were on the air,
and I just wanted to add something to it. Trump
has declared himself the chairman of the LA Olympics Task Force,
and he is in his entire cabinet on this Olympic committee,
and Casey Washerman is chairman of LA twenty eight and
this was an event at the White House and he attended,
(17:34):
and he thanked Trump for leaning in to plan for
an Olympics and said, You've been supportive and helpful every
step of the way. He said, it's like hosting seven
Super Bowls a day for thirty days. And he is
a longtime Democratic donor, very close with the Clintons. His
(17:56):
father was a major Hollywood moogul years ago, also big
Democratic donor, but in recent months he's diversified big donations
to the National Republican Senate Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee,
the House Speaker's Leadership Fund. He's publicly praised Trump's commitment
to the Games. He's gone to Marra a Lago, and
(18:20):
he's even given Trump some Olympic medals. And obviously some
of that is that's that's how that's how you get
Trump to cooperate, as you curry favor with him and
flatterman all that. I think a lot of people in
politics know this, But also I think it's that you know,
if I.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Was him, just standing.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
On the outside, I wouldn't trust basketball, this Olympics, the
Olympic Games off. I wouldn't I don't think she's capable. Honestly,
think she's so far over her head. And all she
was was a legislator who liked the cited conference tables
and just talk talk about policy ideas or you know,
(19:05):
right nonsense legislation. I don't think she has any qualifications
or the brains or even the desire to help plan
for the Olympic Games. I read the other day that
they were supposed to have hundreds of bus shelters because
this was going to be the no car Olympics, and
I guess there was going to be some kind of
Olympic bus service. They only built twenty three. You know,
(19:32):
it's really fascinating how all these left wing governments can't
build anything. It's like the Biden administration had billions of
dollars set aside to build electric charging stations around the
country and after three years they had only built eight.
But nothing can get built at all, just the basics.
(19:54):
Can't build a charging station, which isn't that complicated. Can't
build a bus shelter, and this is gonna be such
a huge such a huge crowd is gonna come. If
I were running things, I wouldn't trust her. Yeah, I'd
be I'd be kissing Trump's ass on all day and
(20:17):
all night and donating money to whatever he wants because
he can get things done. He can build stuff. I mean,
I could see the buildings he's built. I can't see
anything Karen Bass has ever built. I don't I can't
see anything she's ever organized, anything that she's ever run
like in the real world, in the physical world, she's
(20:41):
she's never done anything. We've seen what's happened with the
battles ades. There's still only a handful of permits that
have been that have been released, and somebody's got to
take control and clean up the city.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
You got to clean up the homeless people.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
They got to go, and the garbage and the tents,
and you know, all the feces and the needles, everything
no way, and the public, you know, they could stop
scrowling if you get just a tiny bit of pride
in the in the city, in the region. Can't have
the world, whole world come here and see all the
(21:19):
filth that we've agreed to live in. There is a
street on the west side. I went to the car
wash the other day. By the way, there are many
fewer car.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Wash workers these days.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
It took twice as long to get the car lead
and which is fine. And but there's there's like a
back street. It's a street that's it's called Cottoner and
it's uh, I guess this is Westwood and it's there's
a light industrial area. It's all in industry buildings, no
(21:58):
homes on Cottoner. And that's on the right side of
the street. On the left side of the street is
the four or five. Oh my god, it's the third
Circle of Hell. You would not believe the living conditions
people living in the streets an intense, so much garbage.
(22:18):
There was one huge mound of garbage and I wanted
to take a picture of it, except there's no way
I was stopping because all these wild eyed, emaciated, zombie
drug addicts are stumbling around, males females. And I think
that's Katie Roslavsky's district.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I think it's not. It's not.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
It's not Tracy Parks district. That block it's on the
other side of the four or five. But oh my,
couldn't believe how horrible it was. And I've seen this
this block before because it's the getaway block to get
back onto the.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Four or five. Whoa.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
I mean, I've traveled to a lot of poor third
world countries.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I have not seen what this looked like.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I saw a mound of garbage that I swear I've
never seen in a civilized nation before. There's so much
busted up, broken debris. The people living on that block
and in the tents have such a frightening, hollowed eyed
look on their face. Yeah, and this is maybe, I
(23:31):
don't know, three miles from my house, four miles from
my house, all this has got to go. I know
much of downtown is like this again.
Speaker 8 (23:43):
I just don't understand how this is all going to
be cleaned up for the Olympics and the World Cup,
and you know what, forget about those huge venues. We're
sick and tired.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Of living this way, I know, but it's going to
take the World Cup and the Olympics to clean up
I think a lot of it.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
You're never going to do it for us.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
Right, But what I'm saying is, yes, it will be
great to do it for those venues, but I want
it done tomorrow for us.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
We don't have a soul in government outside of Tracy
Park that I'm aware of who cares. Because this garbage
has been around for like seven to ten years now.
I mean, that's the car wash I've gone to for
a long time, and it's always been bad, but somehow
it got significantly worse since the last car watch. I
really I jammed in my brakes briefly, and I thought, no,
(24:33):
I can't do it because I wanted to take a
photo and I wanted to put it out up, put
it up on Twitter. But good lord, why why do
we have to live? And then that's what infuriates me.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I listened to you. Your news infuriates one.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
It infuriates me that I have to read it.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
And I'm hearing clips about our screaming or illegal aliens,
like stop, you lost that battle. The illegal aliens are
going They got thirteen That ICE has thirteen times the
money they did last year, and that's going to be
every year.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Every year.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
It's going to thirteen times the money you got three
and a half years of Trump unless he drops dead,
and then jad Vans is gonna do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
So there's nothing you can do. Just think.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
You know, By the way, what ends the argument for
me is we're paying thirty five billion in state tax
money for legal aliens. Well, I'm sick of that. Since
you can't keep the streets clean, you can't pave them.
So since you don't spend the money on four on
building mental health treatment centers and drug treatment centers, it's
(25:30):
thirty five billion on illegal aliens. It's you know what,
I don't care if Trump violates every single court order
from now to doomsday. Go ahead, violate all the orders.
Enough of you people, you had ten years, you blew it.
I'm with like the Studio City people who pepper sprayed
that guy, or the n the Studio City homeowner who
shot the intruder. So we're gonna have to do this ourselves.
(25:53):
We're gonna have to carry guns, we're gonna have to
carry pepper spray. We're gonna have to violate toward orders.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
You know.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
I was talking to a small business owner whose business
was burglarized, and I told him, I said, you know,
next time, if somebody comes in while you're there, Fortunately
it happened when he wasn't. I said, you got to
shoot them. And he said, but I'm the one that's
going to go to jail because he has to prove
that his life is in danger. And I feel that
if somebody breaks into my home that already tells me
(26:20):
that my life could be in danger. I'm not going
to sit there and prove it. Why do I have
to prove it.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Nobody's going to convict you, not in La And it's better.
It's better than getting killed. Of course.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
You know, you're just gonna have to go through a
trial and win, and it beats getting killed. And this
is how we have to think. Because Karen Bass.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Moistline for Friday eight seven seven Moist Steady six eight
seven seven Moist staty six are usually talkback feature on
the iHeartRadio app. After Debor's News at three o'clock, we're
gonna have John Mann on. He and his law firm
have been fighting sex abuse cases against all the big institutions,
whether it's a Catholic church, Los Angeles school district in
(27:12):
La County. You may remember, the county agreed in April
to a four billion dollars settlement seven thousand cases of
sexual abuse inside the county's juvenile detention facilities and foster
homes going back decades. Four billion dollars they've got to
pay out. But Manly is saying what I thought about frequently, well,
(27:34):
like who did it? He said, this is essentially Epstein Island,
supervised by the LA County Probation officers. And he goes,
there's no outrage and there's a settlement, but who's responsible here?
So I'll talk with John Manley about that coming up
after three o'clock. It's not often there's a sex toys
(27:59):
ski handle. I knew you'd perk up.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
It's been a day.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
I need some perking up.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I noticed that they're using the term sex toys in
some of the news articles.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Is the D word not permitted?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
High?
Speaker 8 (28:15):
I haven't used it. I don't know if it's permitted
or not.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I guess we'll call it sex toys. But because sounds
so clinical, I know it does. Well.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
You may have heard they're throwing green phallic like sex
toys onto a WNBA courts, the Women's league, and it's
really rude and really funny, and it's become a thing.
We're going to play you a montage here. This is
clips from four different games. Golden State versus Atlanta, Golden
(28:46):
State versus Chicago, Indiana Fever versus the La Sparks here
at the Crypto Arena. Right, that was last night. That
was last night. And then the New York Liberty versus Dallas,
which was also last night. Yeah, well, let's let's see
what happened.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
Hayes gets plumped by by a callswell. Something flies on
the court actually from the crowd.
Speaker 9 (29:07):
The officials will say they will continue playing as that
goes off the fingertips of the valkyries.
Speaker 8 (29:15):
And you can see the object the block right there,
and the object comes that green thing bounces and it
goes to the sideline.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
We're not exactly where. I'm not sure where it came from.
No room for any of that type of activity. Yeah,
and that once pick the objects up.
Speaker 7 (29:34):
Yet you got scale, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Okay, because they finally realized what it.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Was inappropriate.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Them out of you whoever it.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Is, got a whistle away from the basketball. Oh look out.
Then just came into the floor. An object of just
flew in as the free throw was being.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Made.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
It looked like that hit a player too. This was
last night.
Speaker 9 (30:18):
Now nowhere are you?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Okay? Did I hit you?
Speaker 6 (30:48):
So? In New York someone threw it but it didn't
make it all the way to the court and it
landed in front of somebody in the section behind the basket,
and so that was fan video video and secure see
the adult toy on the ground, ask someone, Hey, do
you have some plastic that I can grab it so
we can cover it up so people don't see what
it is. And then the lady was asking the lady
(31:09):
behind her, did you get hit by it?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Well, nobody wants to pick it up. You don't know
where it's been.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
But then in La in the Indiana Fever game, Sophie
Cunningham of the Indiana Fever was actually hit by the
toys at the free throw line.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Are pardon my.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Lack of expertise here, are they heavy? Like if somebody
whips it, is it going to hurt?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Could it? Could it injury you? Or depends on how
big it might be.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
Can we not?
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I think it's not for the news, something that we're
not familiar with. H When we come back, John Manley
is going to talk about the four billion dollar lawsuit
against La County for all this sexual abuse against seven
(32:02):
thousand kids who are in the detention centers and foster
homes over decades.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
But there's nobody really held.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Accountable by name, and he says, this is Epstein Island
being supervised by La County Probation officers. We'll talk to
John Manley about it next. Deborah Mark live in the
