Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
I don't know if you heard last hour. We're putting
up a podcast any minute now. We talked with a
woman named Heavenly Hughes. She's a community activist in Altadena
for all the people who had their homes destroyed and
(00:23):
they cannot get any help from anybody, the county, the state, nothing,
and they're all going bankrupt. They're getting foreclosed on, they
can't make their rental payments, their mortgage payments. The insurance
has been denied or delayed. They're getting the insurance dropped.
(00:43):
Everything has gone wrong. We are going to have Kelly
Loffler on from the Small Business Administration because she and
other members of the Trump administration are coming tomorrow and
they are going to be looking at what's going on
here in Palisades and Alta.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Dina.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Kelly Loffler is going to be on our show tomorrow,
and she has posted that the Trump administration has rushed
over three billion dollars in small Business Association relief after
the wildfires. Actually they did that right away, but more
than a year later, everything empty lots devastated communities, thousands
(01:26):
of survivors stalled by local permitting delays, and she's going
to talk about what the federal government can do next.
So I don't know where the three billion went because
that was paid out a year ago. Kelly Loffler is
going to be on, and we should have Lee Zelden on.
He's the head of the AAPA on Thursday, and he's
been put in charge of the federal government flying in
(01:50):
here and looking to see what's going on. He's going
to help streamline the permits and see why everybody is
in such bad, bad shape, and try to have the
federal government do something to bail out the incompetence and
the idiocy of the county supervisors and the assembly people
(02:11):
and the state senators and Gavin Newsom, the mayor, a
whole lot of them. They had been one hundred percent
of failure over the last year in responding to this.
So maybe the Trump people can do something. That's coming
up next. All right, let's get that's coming up tomorrow
and on Thursday. Now, what's coming up next is we're
(02:32):
going to have and you're not going to believe this,
We're going to have John Manley on. John Manley is
the attorney who represented more than two hundred former patients
of doctor James Heaps. Remember this UCLA. He was the gynecologist.
There was a two hundred and forty three million dollar
settlement with UCLA. He was also charged criminally and convicted.
(02:56):
And now he's going to get a second trial because
it looks like one of the jurors did not speak
English well enough to deliberate and had already made up
his mind.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
And now.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
He was convicted in twenty twenty two. So now four
years later they're going to give him a new trial
because they didn't realize one of the jurors couldn't speak English.
Let's get John Manley on here, who's the attorney Manly
Stuart and finaldi John. Four years later they discovered the
guy couldn't speak English.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Seriously, well, that's not really what happened. He was during
jury selection they call it before Dyer, and he was
asked by the judge and the prosecutor in the defense,
can you speak English? Can you deliberate? And he said yes,
it's in the record. I read the opinion. And there
was a complaint in during jury deliberations by some of
(03:54):
the jurors that, oh, he won't deliberate and he's already
made up his mind. And what the judge should have
done is call the lawyers in and said, okay, we
got a question. He didn't do that. He sent his
court assistant in and said, can you deliberate? Can he
speak English? And the guy said, yeah, was that an error?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
But that doesn't mean the decision should have been reversed?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
All right.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Why is it being reported in the news that the
juror barely spoke English.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Because nobody read the opinion and lots of jurors. What
we're doing here, what the court did here is really
invaded the province of the jury under the guise of
the advice of counsel. Simply because you make a mistake
as a judge doesn't mean the conviction gets reversed. There's
something called harmless error, and it happens all the time.
(04:41):
But here's the problem in California with questioning jurors about
whether they can speak English, because it deals with the race.
Under the new jury instruction, under the new jury regulations,
you're going to get what's called a Batsan challenge, meaning
essentially you're asking this to get rid of somebody because
of their race. What the defense bar is going to do.
(05:01):
And I'm not a former prosecutor, but I have many
that work with me. They're going to set they're going
to report you to the state bar. And so prosecutors
are betwixt and between on what to do here.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
But by the way, when they can't ask to see
if somebody speaks English because they'll be accused of racism.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Sure that's the fear. Because the jury, because they've changed
the rules to be so pro criminal in this state
that prosecutors can't do their job. And what this this decision,
which in my opinion is wrong, establishes is that victims
don't have any rights in this state. This case reads
like a Clint Eastwood movie from the seventies, like the
(05:43):
criminals get off on technicalities and the victims just suck it.
Because that's what happened here. These This trial was two months,
you know, two months. These women had to get up
person after person, get the living crap kicked out of
them on cross by you know, the defense lawyer, and
and you know, finally got a conviction. They actually acquitted
(06:05):
him on some counts they held there was not an
agreement on some counts, so they convicted him on some counts.
So obviously the guy deliberated because they came to decisions,
not all of which were convictions because there was multiple counts,
but he got eleven years. This guy was the This
guy molested hundreds of women. And this is a George
(06:25):
gascon production. By the way, it wasn't Da hawkmin that
did this case. And in my opinion is this is
we need change. We need judicial reform. These judges, most
of the judges on the Court of Appeal were appointed
by Jerry Brown. And if you know anything about the
history of Jerry Brown in the seventies, and I was
a kid, but I remember it, he appointed judges that
(06:47):
were uniformly pro criminal in terms of the criminal bench,
and he appointed Rose Bird and crime was out of
control and there was a political reaction to it that
resulted in George Duke Majen being elected Attorney General and
then governor. And if the Democrats want that, to keep
it up, because people are tired of it. I mean,
(07:09):
I've been on the phone yesterday and today with you know,
probably a dozen women, including some of the women that
testified at trial, and they're like, I'm not effing going back.
I don't I'm not doing this again. Why would I
subject myself to this because the courts don't have my
back and that's the case. And you know, I see
politicians on the left and the right talking about you
(07:31):
know Epstein, Well, this guy makes Epstein look like a
choir boy. I mean, he's a cancer doctor doing doing
gynological oncology and he's molesting women who have horrible cancers.
That's what this guy's doing. Oh yeah, no, he was
(07:54):
a guy on he was the highest paid physician in
the UC system. And by the way, if Ben Allen
and the other uh, you know, democratic socialist politicians and
the legislature. Not all Democrats believe this. There's some that
don't and some they're great on the crime issue, but
like Ben Allen, I'll single, I'm had he put a
(08:15):
bill in. They've put bills in to essentially eliminate the
ability of victims to sue any public entity in California.
So if highly Heidi Felsteine Soto had our way or
city attorney, they couldn't make a case anyway. So you've
got you've got the criminal system saying you know, hey,
we're not going to protect you. We're not gonna, We're
not gonna we're going to fail you like they did here.
(08:36):
It's a total failure at a fiasco. And then you got
the and then okay, you go to the civil justice
to maybe I can get a compensation there, and they
want to shut that down. So where are we And
it's it's failing. The judicial system in this state, in
my opinion, in terms of victims of crime, especially especially
children and vulnerable adults, is failing. And I've been in
(08:57):
it for thirty five years. I've doted my life to it,
and I when I read this yesterday, I almost threw
up the things this guy was up to. And now
let's let's talk about something else. George Tindall. Remember George Tendall,
John the other US econocologist. Yeah, he was, he was charged.
They let him sit for five years and die during
(09:20):
home arrest. They let him die of cancer because they
didn't want to try his case. So we have between
Tyndall and Heaps, probably thirty thousand women that were abused.
Thirty thousand, I mean that's how many people were in
that in the class actions and SC paid a billion
and you you, including the other cases not including ours.
(09:42):
UCLA paid a billion dollars. I'm crazy, no conviction, no connections.
So you know I as a lawyer, I'm embarrassed, and
we need reform. We need somebody with a lock of
common sense to say no more. We're gonna have people
that enforce the law. We're going to appoin, prosecute, we're
gonna hire it. We're going to elect prosecutors who charge people,
(10:04):
and we're not going to make mistakes and trials that
are eight weeks, you know, or ten weeks long where
people's lives are at stake.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
John, I got to go. Thank you for coming on again.
Thanks John, John Nandley and about the James Heap case.
More coming up.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
So we opened the show.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
We had Alex Stone from ABC News on about Nancy Guthrie.
Savannah Guthrie's mom had been a Peers kidnapped and removed
from her home in Tucson, Arizona. Savannah Guthrie is one
of the hosts of The Today Show on NBC and
now Brian Inton, who we've had on the program many
(10:49):
times from News Nation has posted a story that News
Nation discovered a blood trail leading from the front door
of Nancy Guthrie's home, which is the first visible evidence
in her disappearance. And I've seen the video they posted
online and it is drops of blood along the walkway
(11:11):
from the front door and a ring doorbell camera that
was mounted near the entrance was missing, and the p
Meccany Sheriff said they're investigating to see whether whoever did
the kidnapping remove the camera too. The sheriff, Chris Nanos,
(11:31):
has given out very few details today even though they
had a press conference and the FBI is involved. And
the big story from earlier is TMZ said they got
a ransom note with specific details about Guthrie's clothing and
items in the home and a dollar amount demanded in bitcoin,
and they want bitcoin to be deposited in their account
(11:58):
and presumably then they'd let Nancy Guthrie let her free.
Now the police are saying they're aware of this ransom note,
but nobody is confirming whether it's real or not, if
it's going to be acted on or not. And it's
apparently millions of dollars of bitcoin being requested. So we
(12:19):
will continue to follow on that. Now, I don't want
this story to get away. After three o'clock, we're going
to talk about more of Karen Bass's State of the
Cesspool speech where she's carrying on about the great job
she did removing all the vagrants and mental patients off
the streets. Yeah, actually she does that in public. But
this I want to play Eric if you can get
(12:41):
the Melinda Gates thing. So Bill Gates, you know, is
involved in all kinds of Tawdrey sexual scandals apparently, and
he was involved with Epstein. And one of the stories
that came out the new document dump is that Gates
had gotten some kind of sexually transmitted disease from some
(13:04):
Russian women and that he was asking if he could
be supplied with antibiotics that he could secretly give to
his wife because he feared that he passed along the
VD to the wife and was going to sneak her
antibiotics without her knowledge. And we actually had somebody from
(13:27):
NPR interviewed on Zoom. Rachel Martin on the wild Card
podcast asked Melinda Gates about the story.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
So listen to this.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
The emails in the file suggest that Bill Gates had
additional affairs and that he tried to get medication to
treat a sexually transmitted infection, and that he was going
to give you the medicine without you knowing. His representative
has said all of this is false. It is not
on you to have to respond to the details of
that alleged behavior. But I wonder what your dominant emotion
(14:02):
is when you read these news articles with these details.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Sad just unbelievable sadness. Unbelievable sadness. Right, and again I'm
able to take my own sadness and look at those
young girls and say, my god, how did they How
did that happen to those girls?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Right?
Speaker 6 (14:25):
And so for me, it's just sadness. Sadness. For you know,
I've left, I had, I left my marriage, I had
to leave my marriage. I wanted to leave my marriage,
I had to leave the fact I felt I needed
to eventually leave the foundation. So it's just sad, that's
the truth, right, And it's kind of like h At
least for me, I've been able to move on in life.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
What a disgusting pig he was.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
He was one of the most admired men in our
whole society for many years, and he was the richest,
and it's still among the richest. And the guy, the
guy was apparently sleeping with with god knows who, but
he picked up Russian VD the ITV. You try to
sneak antibiotics. I guess he was gonna put it in
(15:14):
his wife's food or his wife's drink to kill whatever
disgusting infection he gave her. That is really foul. That's
one of the foulest things I ever heard. All Right,
we come back. Karen Bass said this big speech yesterday,
full of lies and nonsense. We did a lot on
(15:36):
her fire propaganda earlier.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Now let's move on to.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
All the vagrants and the mental patience, the homeless people,
and listen to her wild claims. She's really unhinged. She
lives in a delusional alternate universe. We'll talk about that.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
You're listening to John Kobel's on demand from KFI ams.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and
now you can get the podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Hour by hour.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
As soon as an hour of the show ends, we
post a podcast a few minutes later, so one o'clock
hour posted shortly after two, and so on for the
two and three o'clock hours.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
All right. That's that's the new system we have.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
You can follow us on social media at John coblt
Radio at John Cobelt Radio, and subscribe to YouTube. More
and more people are doing it. We're putting out segments,
many days long segments, and it's YouTube dot com. Slash
at John Cobelt Show, YouTube dot com slash at John
Covelt's show. All right, we spent some time early in
the show Mayor Bass's State of the cesspool speech here
(16:41):
in Los Angeles, and she had all these all this
lies and nonsense about the fires we went through, now,
lies and nonsense about the homeless situation, the mental patients,
and the drug addicts that plague us. All here, let
me see what I want to start with here. I
don't even know. I don't understand the description of this,
(17:05):
but let's play it. It looks intriguing. Cut number six,
Bass on homelessness.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
Now, you know, the most extreme example of affordability is
homelessness itself, with over forty thousand unhoused Angelinos and almost
half of them sleeping on our streets every night. This
is the consequence of decades of rigid thinking that never
built a system capable of meeting the scale of the need.
(17:35):
But since I became mayor, we began moving with urgency.
We broke down silos, We challenged policies that kept people
trapped on our streets, and we began building a system
with one clear goal, and that's ending homelessness, especially street homelessess.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I stopped stop and jagatcha stop.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
The system was never built to take on all this
homelessness because we never used to have all this homelessness
until about ten years ago. This is this is something
Eric Garcetti started. Of course it chead they were so
this goes back decades. Well, for decades, we didn't need
this system. We didn't need to spend any money because
it wasn't allowed because we had a mayor and a
(18:22):
city council and a police force that took care of
vagrants who were on the street or drug addicts or
mental patients. They weren't allowed to live on the street.
And then Garcetti changed the I don't remember ever having
this issue. We wailed on via Ragosa for everything under
the sun, and he was guilty of all of it,
(18:43):
but in eight years I don't ever remember carrying on
about via Ragosa and the vagrants because it wasn't an issue.
It became an issue when Garcetti took over in twenty thirteen,
and then by twenty fourteen we had something, and by
twenty seventeen it was completely out of control. But she
knows most people don't remember it and don't know it,
so she could say any fool thing and people going, oh, oh,
(19:06):
she's doing something. She ain't doing crap. Okay, her numbers
are fake. Two things, and I'll repeat this until I
fall over dead.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Here.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Number one, her numbers last year that she released were
fake numbers. When the Rand Corporation, a private research think tank,
did their own homeless count, they found out that in
the most populated homeless districts, Karen Bass's count was off
by up to forty percent. In other words, she didn't
(19:38):
there was another forty percent homeless laying in the streets
that her people missed. So number one, her numbers are fake.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
She lies a lot. And I forgot what Number two is.
Let me play another clip.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
He here best says, we have to prevent homelessness before
it occurs.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
Now, we have to prevent homelessness before it occurs. So
this means moving people quickly into interim housing. So they
are off our streets. This means tackling the health, the social,
and the economic barriers that to often pull people back.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
To the stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
It's drug, their drug addicts and their mental patients, and
there is no system in government to take care of them.
How come all the other cities in the world do
not have a problem.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Like this, They simply don't.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I keep you, I've been to a whole number of
states and cities over the past couple of years, traveling
in this country on vacations and visiting my sons and whatnot,
and they just don't have this. So she's full of craft.
Here's what happened. Here's the truth. When When When the
when the vagrance and the mental patients realized that Los
(21:00):
Angeles will indulge them and they'll be able to live
on the beach in Venice, they started coming. They could.
They all have smartphones. They could see the news coverage
that the vagrants were piling up here, the bodies were
piling up and nobody was doing anything about it, and
(21:22):
so people started bitching and complaining. So Karen bask Garcetti
and the criminals on the city council, they have all
set up these massive complicated, a massive, complicated homeless industry,
and they stole billions of dollars in tax money and
spent it on these crooked nonprofits. And some of these
(21:42):
politicians are getting kickbacks in return, and there's absolutely no
incentive to solve the problem. Everything they're doing does not
solve the problem, but will never solve the problem. They
have to be either be kicked out of Los Angeles
or put into treatment, large enormous treatment centers for drug
addiction and mental illness. That's the only way to do it.
(22:04):
Other cities just simply don't let you sleep on the street.
Go to Beverly Hills. You know, you can't find one body.
They don't let people. But what she wants to do
is she wants to create a case to get more money,
more billions of dollars. Remember she lost track of two
billion dollars, and she will not talk about it. She
(22:24):
will not discuss where the two billion went. And when
a judge wanted to question her in court, she spent
millions of dollars of your tax money to get literally
fifteen lawyers to prevent her from testifying in a civil
case where she should have been forced to explain where the.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Two billion went.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
So she's a con artist. She's What she's got going
for her is this silly smile, and it's like Newsom's hair.
It has magical effect on people, people with nice smiles
and good hair. Apparently human nature is so flawed that
(23:12):
all you need is a smile and hair and anything
you say will be believed. But everything has gotten all
the homeless stuff is worse. It's oh, the other part
of it.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I remembered.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
The number of people that she claims she got off
the street is matched by the number of people who died.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
On the street.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
So if there is a reduction in homeless, it's only
because they're dead. Karen Bass allows people to die by
the hundreds every year.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Actually it's a couple of thousand a year. But it's
all around.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Mom Donnie, right, the cold snap they had in the
past week, fourteen dead in the street stiff because he
changed his policy. It used to be in New York
City everybody had to go indoors, whether they wanted to
or not. Mom Donnie said, no, no, they've got right
to stay out there. Fourteen people froze to death. Now
he's changing his policy. These people are killers. It's like
(24:07):
when the New York Governor Andrew Cuomo sent all those
elderly people into the nursing home to die of COVID.
These people are killers, and they continue, they continue serving
the public after the deaths.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
More coming up.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
sixty every hour.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
We're now posting the podcast as soon as the one
o'clock hour is over. We posted a little after two,
two o'clock hour, he posted, a little after three, three
o'clock hour, post a little after four.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
That's that's how we're doing it now.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Moistline is eighty seven seven mois steady six eight seven
seven moist steady six. So the talkback feature on the
iHeartRadio app just a reminder tomorrow in the three o'clock hour,
we're gonna have of Kelly Loffler on. Kelly Loffler is
head of Trump's Small Business Association, and she's going to
be in town one with the other Trump officials to
(25:12):
look at the disaster that exists a year later. Because
the local governments l A City, La County, State of
California are are so incompetent in nept the devastation still
is extensive.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
We had somebody on from Altadena today and the people
they are really suffering. Uh, they they they their their
rental assistance is up and now they have to pay rent.
The mortgage deferral is up. They have to pay the mortgage.
In fact, they have to make they have to pay
a balloon payment. They either were knocked off their insurance
(25:54):
or knocked into the fair plan, so the insurance doesn't cover.
The insurance is also not claims. If they do play claims,
then they drop your policy. It is a bloody mess.
And people are now very close to foreclosing, many people
or they have to sell their house to a developer
(26:15):
who's going to put up mega mansions, and that whole
West Altadena town is never going to come back, certainly
not the way it was. And there's been such a
massive failure on the part of Gavenuwsom, Karen Bass and
the five county supervisors. And they're not lifting affair. They
don't care. They don't even respond to anybody anymore. It's history.
(26:36):
It's what the fire chief, i mean mores say today.
It's like, hey, you know, we're not gonna find out
who water down and why the investigative report.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
We're not going to do it. What are people going
to do with the information? He said, We've got.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
To look forward. We've got to look ahead. We're not
pointing blame. We're not pointing fingers. I mean he ought
to before he had to be fired right now by
the public. The public ought to demand himI more be God.
Is that the attitude? Really, that's the attitude to the
Palis States people.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Well, what are you gonna do with the information? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
They light and covered up, They light and covered up
how they botched the preparation, the execution, the follow up, everything,
and he doesn't want to talk about it. I did
not think it would be this kind of a shutdown.
It's like a Soviet style shutdown of information. And they
(27:29):
insult you on top of it. Well, what are you
gonna do with the information?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I don't know. I'm an adult. I want to know
who screwed me over? How about that? Yes?
Speaker 3 (27:39):
I want to blame people. Yes, I want to point
figures because all the people that blame, all the people
who are being pointed at, ought to be out out
of government. They ought to be off the payroll. Why
are we paying them so they can fatten up their pensions.
Look ahead to what people can't rebuild, they can't move,
they can't get insurance money. They're all stuck until they
go bankrupt, get foreclosed on that.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Hell is wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Him Moore? What's wrong with all these people? Maybe inhaled
too much smoke? All right, here, here's one last story.
Maybe you heard this. This is just so bizarre. So
Joe Biden had a first husband before Joe, another winner,
William Stevenson. Stevenson and Jill Biden got divorced back in
(28:27):
the seventies. Joe ran off with Joe and William got
remarried to Linda Linda Stevenson, and the police are saying
William killed his second wife, Linda on December twenty eighth.
There was a domestic dispute reported. Linda was found unresponsible
(28:47):
on the floor and pronounced dead. They haven't released a
cause of death. Was this was the second wife? What
is that like when you find out your ex husband
killed his other wife. Yeah. He divorced Jill Biden in
(29:12):
nineteen seventy five and two years later she married Joe,
who was a city councilman, a county councilman. I should
have stayed there, Jesus, We're all right. We're done here,
all right. So this hour's podcast is can be posted
in a few minutes. All the others are already up there.
We'll see it tomorrow. We have Conway coming up next.
(29:35):
Krazer is the News live in the CAFI twenty for
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 on demand on
the iHeartRadio app.
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
I don't know if you heard last hour. We're putting
up a podcast any minute now. We talked with a
woman named Heavenly Hughes. She's a community activist in Altadena
for all the people who had their homes destroyed and
(00:23):
they cannot get any help from anybody, the county, the state, nothing,
and they're all going bankrupt. They're getting foreclosed on, they
can't make their rental payments, their mortgage payments. The insurance
has been denied or delayed. They're getting the insurance dropped.
(00:43):
Everything has gone wrong. We are going to have Kelly
Loffler on from the Small Business Administration because she and
other members of the Trump administration are coming tomorrow and
they are going to be looking at what's going on
here in Palisades and Alta.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Dina.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Kelly Loffler is going to be on our show tomorrow,
and she has posted that the Trump administration has rushed
over three billion dollars in small Business Association relief after
the wildfires. Actually they did that right away, but more
than a year later, everything empty lots devastated communities, thousands
(01:26):
of survivors stalled by local permitting delays, and she's going
to talk about what the federal government can do next.
So I don't know where the three billion went because
that was paid out a year ago. Kelly Loffler is
going to be on, and we should have Lee Zelden on.
He's the head of the AAPA on Thursday, and he's
been put in charge of the federal government flying in
(01:50):
here and looking to see what's going on. He's going
to help streamline the permits and see why everybody is
in such bad, bad shape, and try to have the
federal government do something to bail out the incompetence and
the idiocy of the county supervisors and the assembly people
(02:11):
and the state senators and Gavin Newsom, the mayor, a
whole lot of them. They had been one hundred percent
of failure over the last year in responding to this.
So maybe the Trump people can do something. That's coming
up next. All right, let's get that's coming up tomorrow
and on Thursday. Now, what's coming up next is we're
(02:32):
going to have and you're not going to believe this,
We're going to have John Manley on. John Manley is
the attorney who represented more than two hundred former patients
of doctor James Heaps. Remember this UCLA. He was the gynecologist.
There was a two hundred and forty three million dollar
settlement with UCLA. He was also charged criminally and convicted.
(02:56):
And now he's going to get a second trial because
it looks like one of the jurors did not speak
English well enough to deliberate and had already made up
his mind.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
And now.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
He was convicted in twenty twenty two. So now four
years later they're going to give him a new trial
because they didn't realize one of the jurors couldn't speak English.
Let's get John Manley on here, who's the attorney Manly
Stuart and finaldi John. Four years later they discovered the
guy couldn't speak English.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Seriously, well, that's not really what happened. He was during
jury selection they call it before Dyer, and he was
asked by the judge and the prosecutor in the defense,
can you speak English? Can you deliberate? And he said yes,
it's in the record. I read the opinion. And there
was a complaint in during jury deliberations by some of
(03:54):
the jurors that, oh, he won't deliberate and he's already
made up his mind. And what the judge should have
done is call the lawyers in and said, okay, we
got a question. He didn't do that. He sent his
court assistant in and said, can you deliberate? Can he
speak English? And the guy said, yeah, was that an error?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
But that doesn't mean the decision should have been reversed?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
All right.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Why is it being reported in the news that the
juror barely spoke English.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Because nobody read the opinion and lots of jurors. What
we're doing here, what the court did here is really
invaded the province of the jury under the guise of
the advice of counsel. Simply because you make a mistake
as a judge doesn't mean the conviction gets reversed. There's
something called harmless error, and it happens all the time.
(04:41):
But here's the problem in California with questioning jurors about
whether they can speak English, because it deals with the race.
Under the new jury instruction, under the new jury regulations,
you're going to get what's called a Batsan challenge, meaning
essentially you're asking this to get rid of somebody because
of their race. What the defense bar is going to do.
(05:01):
And I'm not a former prosecutor, but I have many
that work with me. They're going to set they're going
to report you to the state bar. And so prosecutors
are betwixt and between on what to do here.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
But by the way, when they can't ask to see
if somebody speaks English because they'll be accused of racism.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Sure that's the fear. Because the jury, because they've changed
the rules to be so pro criminal in this state
that prosecutors can't do their job. And what this this decision,
which in my opinion is wrong, establishes is that victims
don't have any rights in this state. This case reads
like a Clint Eastwood movie from the seventies, like the
(05:43):
criminals get off on technicalities and the victims just suck it.
Because that's what happened here. These This trial was two months,
you know, two months. These women had to get up
person after person, get the living crap kicked out of
them on cross by you know, the defense lawyer, and
and you know, finally got a conviction. They actually acquitted
(06:05):
him on some counts they held there was not an
agreement on some counts, so they convicted him on some counts.
So obviously the guy deliberated because they came to decisions,
not all of which were convictions because there was multiple counts,
but he got eleven years. This guy was the This
guy molested hundreds of women. And this is a George
(06:25):
gascon production. By the way, it wasn't Da hawkmin that
did this case. And in my opinion is this is
we need change. We need judicial reform. These judges, most
of the judges on the Court of Appeal were appointed
by Jerry Brown. And if you know anything about the
history of Jerry Brown in the seventies, and I was
a kid, but I remember it, he appointed judges that
(06:47):
were uniformly pro criminal in terms of the criminal bench,
and he appointed Rose Bird and crime was out of
control and there was a political reaction to it that
resulted in George Duke Majen being elected Attorney General and
then governor. And if the Democrats want that, to keep
it up, because people are tired of it. I mean,
(07:09):
I've been on the phone yesterday and today with you know,
probably a dozen women, including some of the women that
testified at trial, and they're like, I'm not effing going back.
I don't I'm not doing this again. Why would I
subject myself to this because the courts don't have my
back and that's the case. And you know, I see
politicians on the left and the right talking about you
(07:31):
know Epstein, Well, this guy makes Epstein look like a
choir boy. I mean, he's a cancer doctor doing doing
gynological oncology and he's molesting women who have horrible cancers.
That's what this guy's doing. Oh yeah, no, he was
(07:54):
a guy on he was the highest paid physician in
the UC system. And by the way, if Ben Allen
and the other uh, you know, democratic socialist politicians and
the legislature. Not all Democrats believe this. There's some that
don't and some they're great on the crime issue, but
like Ben Allen, I'll single, I'm had he put a
(08:15):
bill in. They've put bills in to essentially eliminate the
ability of victims to sue any public entity in California.
So if highly Heidi Felsteine Soto had our way or
city attorney, they couldn't make a case anyway. So you've
got you've got the criminal system saying you know, hey,
we're not going to protect you. We're not gonna, We're
not gonna we're going to fail you like they did here.
(08:36):
It's a total failure at a fiasco. And then you got
the and then okay, you go to the civil justice
to maybe I can get a compensation there, and they
want to shut that down. So where are we And
it's it's failing. The judicial system in this state, in
my opinion, in terms of victims of crime, especially especially
children and vulnerable adults, is failing. And I've been in
(08:57):
it for thirty five years. I've doted my life to it,
and I when I read this yesterday, I almost threw
up the things this guy was up to. And now
let's let's talk about something else. George Tindall. Remember George Tendall,
John the other US econocologist. Yeah, he was, he was charged.
They let him sit for five years and die during
(09:20):
home arrest. They let him die of cancer because they
didn't want to try his case. So we have between
Tyndall and Heaps, probably thirty thousand women that were abused.
Thirty thousand, I mean that's how many people were in
that in the class actions and SC paid a billion
and you you, including the other cases not including ours.
(09:42):
UCLA paid a billion dollars. I'm crazy, no conviction, no connections.
So you know I as a lawyer, I'm embarrassed, and
we need reform. We need somebody with a lock of
common sense to say no more. We're gonna have people
that enforce the law. We're going to appoin, prosecute, we're
gonna hire it. We're going to elect prosecutors who charge people,
(10:04):
and we're not going to make mistakes and trials that
are eight weeks, you know, or ten weeks long where
people's lives are at stake.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
John, I got to go. Thank you for coming on again.
Thanks John, John Nandley and about the James Heap case.
More coming up.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
So we opened the show.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
We had Alex Stone from ABC News on about Nancy Guthrie.
Savannah Guthrie's mom had been a Peers kidnapped and removed
from her home in Tucson, Arizona. Savannah Guthrie is one
of the hosts of The Today Show on NBC and
now Brian Inton, who we've had on the program many
(10:49):
times from News Nation has posted a story that News
Nation discovered a blood trail leading from the front door
of Nancy Guthrie's home, which is the first visible evidence
in her disappearance. And I've seen the video they posted
online and it is drops of blood along the walkway
(11:11):
from the front door and a ring doorbell camera that
was mounted near the entrance was missing, and the p
Meccany Sheriff said they're investigating to see whether whoever did
the kidnapping remove the camera too. The sheriff, Chris Nanos,
(11:31):
has given out very few details today even though they
had a press conference and the FBI is involved. And
the big story from earlier is TMZ said they got
a ransom note with specific details about Guthrie's clothing and
items in the home and a dollar amount demanded in bitcoin,
and they want bitcoin to be deposited in their account
(11:58):
and presumably then they'd let Nancy Guthrie let her free.
Now the police are saying they're aware of this ransom note,
but nobody is confirming whether it's real or not, if
it's going to be acted on or not. And it's
apparently millions of dollars of bitcoin being requested. So we
(12:19):
will continue to follow on that. Now, I don't want
this story to get away. After three o'clock, we're going
to talk about more of Karen Bass's State of the
Cesspool speech where she's carrying on about the great job
she did removing all the vagrants and mental patients off
the streets. Yeah, actually she does that in public. But
this I want to play Eric if you can get
(12:41):
the Melinda Gates thing. So Bill Gates, you know, is
involved in all kinds of Tawdrey sexual scandals apparently, and
he was involved with Epstein. And one of the stories
that came out the new document dump is that Gates
had gotten some kind of sexually transmitted disease from some
(13:04):
Russian women and that he was asking if he could
be supplied with antibiotics that he could secretly give to
his wife because he feared that he passed along the
VD to the wife and was going to sneak her
antibiotics without her knowledge. And we actually had somebody from
(13:27):
NPR interviewed on Zoom. Rachel Martin on the wild Card
podcast asked Melinda Gates about the story.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
So listen to this.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
The emails in the file suggest that Bill Gates had
additional affairs and that he tried to get medication to
treat a sexually transmitted infection, and that he was going
to give you the medicine without you knowing. His representative
has said all of this is false. It is not
on you to have to respond to the details of
that alleged behavior. But I wonder what your dominant emotion
(14:02):
is when you read these news articles with these details.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Sad just unbelievable sadness. Unbelievable sadness. Right, and again I'm
able to take my own sadness and look at those
young girls and say, my god, how did they How
did that happen to those girls?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Right?
Speaker 6 (14:25):
And so for me, it's just sadness. Sadness. For you know,
I've left, I had, I left my marriage, I had
to leave my marriage. I wanted to leave my marriage,
I had to leave the fact I felt I needed
to eventually leave the foundation. So it's just sad, that's
the truth, right, And it's kind of like h At
least for me, I've been able to move on in life.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
What a disgusting pig he was.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
He was one of the most admired men in our
whole society for many years, and he was the richest,
and it's still among the richest. And the guy, the
guy was apparently sleeping with with god knows who, but
he picked up Russian VD the ITV. You try to
sneak antibiotics. I guess he was gonna put it in
(15:14):
his wife's food or his wife's drink to kill whatever
disgusting infection he gave her. That is really foul. That's
one of the foulest things I ever heard. All Right,
we come back. Karen Bass said this big speech yesterday,
full of lies and nonsense. We did a lot on
(15:36):
her fire propaganda earlier.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Now let's move on to.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
All the vagrants and the mental patience, the homeless people,
and listen to her wild claims. She's really unhinged. She
lives in a delusional alternate universe. We'll talk about that.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
You're listening to John Kobel's on demand from KFI ams.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and
now you can get the podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Hour by hour.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
As soon as an hour of the show ends, we
post a podcast a few minutes later, so one o'clock
hour posted shortly after two, and so on for the
two and three o'clock hours.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
All right. That's that's the new system we have.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
You can follow us on social media at John coblt
Radio at John Cobelt Radio, and subscribe to YouTube. More
and more people are doing it. We're putting out segments,
many days long segments, and it's YouTube dot com. Slash
at John Cobelt Show, YouTube dot com slash at John
Covelt's show. All right, we spent some time early in
the show Mayor Bass's State of the cesspool speech here
(16:41):
in Los Angeles, and she had all these all this
lies and nonsense about the fires we went through, now,
lies and nonsense about the homeless situation, the mental patients,
and the drug addicts that plague us. All here, let
me see what I want to start with here. I
don't even know. I don't understand the description of this,
(17:05):
but let's play it. It looks intriguing. Cut number six,
Bass on homelessness.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
Now, you know, the most extreme example of affordability is
homelessness itself, with over forty thousand unhoused Angelinos and almost
half of them sleeping on our streets every night. This
is the consequence of decades of rigid thinking that never
built a system capable of meeting the scale of the need.
(17:35):
But since I became mayor, we began moving with urgency.
We broke down silos, We challenged policies that kept people
trapped on our streets, and we began building a system
with one clear goal, and that's ending homelessness, especially street homelessess.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I stopped stop and jagatcha stop.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
The system was never built to take on all this
homelessness because we never used to have all this homelessness
until about ten years ago. This is this is something
Eric Garcetti started. Of course it chead they were so
this goes back decades. Well, for decades, we didn't need
this system. We didn't need to spend any money because
it wasn't allowed because we had a mayor and a
(18:22):
city council and a police force that took care of
vagrants who were on the street or drug addicts or
mental patients. They weren't allowed to live on the street.
And then Garcetti changed the I don't remember ever having
this issue. We wailed on via Ragosa for everything under
the sun, and he was guilty of all of it,
(18:43):
but in eight years I don't ever remember carrying on
about via Ragosa and the vagrants because it wasn't an issue.
It became an issue when Garcetti took over in twenty thirteen,
and then by twenty fourteen we had something, and by
twenty seventeen it was completely out of control. But she
knows most people don't remember it and don't know it,
so she could say any fool thing and people going, oh, oh,
(19:06):
she's doing something. She ain't doing crap. Okay, her numbers
are fake. Two things, and I'll repeat this until I
fall over dead.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Here.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Number one, her numbers last year that she released were
fake numbers. When the Rand Corporation, a private research think tank,
did their own homeless count, they found out that in
the most populated homeless districts, Karen Bass's count was off
by up to forty percent. In other words, she didn't
(19:38):
there was another forty percent homeless laying in the streets
that her people missed. So number one, her numbers are fake.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
She lies a lot. And I forgot what Number two is.
Let me play another clip.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
He here best says, we have to prevent homelessness before
it occurs.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
Now, we have to prevent homelessness before it occurs. So
this means moving people quickly into interim housing. So they
are off our streets. This means tackling the health, the social,
and the economic barriers that to often pull people back.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
To the stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
It's drug, their drug addicts and their mental patients, and
there is no system in government to take care of them.
How come all the other cities in the world do
not have a problem.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Like this, They simply don't.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I keep you, I've been to a whole number of
states and cities over the past couple of years, traveling
in this country on vacations and visiting my sons and whatnot,
and they just don't have this. So she's full of craft.
Here's what happened. Here's the truth. When When When the
when the vagrance and the mental patients realized that Los
(21:00):
Angeles will indulge them and they'll be able to live
on the beach in Venice, they started coming. They could.
They all have smartphones. They could see the news coverage
that the vagrants were piling up here, the bodies were
piling up and nobody was doing anything about it, and
(21:22):
so people started bitching and complaining. So Karen bask Garcetti
and the criminals on the city council, they have all
set up these massive complicated, a massive, complicated homeless industry,
and they stole billions of dollars in tax money and
spent it on these crooked nonprofits. And some of these
(21:42):
politicians are getting kickbacks in return, and there's absolutely no
incentive to solve the problem. Everything they're doing does not
solve the problem, but will never solve the problem. They
have to be either be kicked out of Los Angeles
or put into treatment, large enormous treatment centers for drug
addiction and mental illness. That's the only way to do it.
(22:04):
Other cities just simply don't let you sleep on the street.
Go to Beverly Hills. You know, you can't find one body.
They don't let people. But what she wants to do
is she wants to create a case to get more money,
more billions of dollars. Remember she lost track of two
billion dollars, and she will not talk about it. She
(22:24):
will not discuss where the two billion went. And when
a judge wanted to question her in court, she spent
millions of dollars of your tax money to get literally
fifteen lawyers to prevent her from testifying in a civil
case where she should have been forced to explain where the.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Two billion went.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
So she's a con artist. She's What she's got going
for her is this silly smile, and it's like Newsom's hair.
It has magical effect on people, people with nice smiles
and good hair. Apparently human nature is so flawed that
(23:12):
all you need is a smile and hair and anything
you say will be believed. But everything has gotten all
the homeless stuff is worse. It's oh, the other part
of it.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I remembered.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
The number of people that she claims she got off
the street is matched by the number of people who died.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
On the street.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
So if there is a reduction in homeless, it's only
because they're dead. Karen Bass allows people to die by
the hundreds every year.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Actually it's a couple of thousand a year. But it's
all around.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Mom Donnie, right, the cold snap they had in the
past week, fourteen dead in the street stiff because he
changed his policy. It used to be in New York
City everybody had to go indoors, whether they wanted to
or not. Mom Donnie said, no, no, they've got right
to stay out there. Fourteen people froze to death. Now
he's changing his policy. These people are killers. It's like
(24:07):
when the New York Governor Andrew Cuomo sent all those
elderly people into the nursing home to die of COVID.
These people are killers, and they continue, they continue serving
the public after the deaths.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
More coming up.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
sixty every hour.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
We're now posting the podcast as soon as the one
o'clock hour is over. We posted a little after two,
two o'clock hour, he posted, a little after three, three
o'clock hour, post a little after four.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
That's that's how we're doing it now.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Moistline is eighty seven seven mois steady six eight seven
seven moist steady six. So the talkback feature on the
iHeartRadio app just a reminder tomorrow in the three o'clock hour,
we're gonna have of Kelly Loffler on. Kelly Loffler is
head of Trump's Small Business Association, and she's going to
be in town one with the other Trump officials to
(25:12):
look at the disaster that exists a year later. Because
the local governments l A City, La County, State of
California are are so incompetent in nept the devastation still
is extensive.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
We had somebody on from Altadena today and the people
they are really suffering. Uh, they they they their their
rental assistance is up and now they have to pay rent.
The mortgage deferral is up. They have to pay the mortgage.
In fact, they have to make they have to pay
a balloon payment. They either were knocked off their insurance
(25:54):
or knocked into the fair plan, so the insurance doesn't cover.
The insurance is also not claims. If they do play claims,
then they drop your policy. It is a bloody mess.
And people are now very close to foreclosing, many people
or they have to sell their house to a developer
(26:15):
who's going to put up mega mansions, and that whole
West Altadena town is never going to come back, certainly
not the way it was. And there's been such a
massive failure on the part of Gavenuwsom, Karen Bass and
the five county supervisors. And they're not lifting affair. They
don't care. They don't even respond to anybody anymore. It's history.
(26:36):
It's what the fire chief, i mean mores say today.
It's like, hey, you know, we're not gonna find out
who water down and why the investigative report.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
We're not going to do it. What are people going
to do with the information? He said, We've got.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
To look forward. We've got to look ahead. We're not
pointing blame. We're not pointing fingers. I mean he ought
to before he had to be fired right now by
the public. The public ought to demand himI more be God.
Is that the attitude? Really, that's the attitude to the
Palis States people.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Well, what are you gonna do with the information? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
They light and covered up, They light and covered up
how they botched the preparation, the execution, the follow up, everything,
and he doesn't want to talk about it. I did
not think it would be this kind of a shutdown.
It's like a Soviet style shutdown of information. And they
(27:29):
insult you on top of it. Well, what are you
gonna do with the information?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I don't know. I'm an adult. I want to know
who screwed me over? How about that? Yes?
Speaker 3 (27:39):
I want to blame people. Yes, I want to point
figures because all the people that blame, all the people
who are being pointed at, ought to be out out
of government. They ought to be off the payroll. Why
are we paying them so they can fatten up their pensions.
Look ahead to what people can't rebuild, they can't move,
they can't get insurance money. They're all stuck until they
go bankrupt, get foreclosed on that.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Hell is wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Him Moore? What's wrong with all these people? Maybe inhaled
too much smoke? All right, here, here's one last story.
Maybe you heard this. This is just so bizarre. So
Joe Biden had a first husband before Joe, another winner,
William Stevenson. Stevenson and Jill Biden got divorced back in
(28:27):
the seventies. Joe ran off with Joe and William got
remarried to Linda Linda Stevenson, and the police are saying
William killed his second wife, Linda on December twenty eighth.
There was a domestic dispute reported. Linda was found unresponsible
(28:47):
on the floor and pronounced dead. They haven't released a
cause of death. Was this was the second wife? What
is that like when you find out your ex husband

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
