Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every
day from one until four o'clock. After four o'clock, John
Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app. It's the
podcast and that's where you get to listen to what
you missed. Next hour, two rounds of the Moistline. We're
gonna have that at three twenty and three fifty. We're
(00:21):
also gonna have Lora Angele on from News Nation to
tell us the latest in the p Diddy trial, because
that's coming to a close shortly, and there were a
lot of wild details testified to in court today. But first,
this seems to me like chapter three of a trilogy.
(00:41):
Chapter one several years ago, Kevin Newsom puts us all
of Lockdown with harsh rules, and then he goes to
the French laundry and crowds into a small dining room
with twelve other people, including a lot of lobbyists who
bribe him for a living, and he drinks a lot
of wine and eats a lot of expensive food, and
(01:05):
somebody snapped a photo of it, and that became a
scandal so big there was a recall election over it.
That's what really ignited the recall. I mean, the recall
was going on, but they weren't getting enough signatures until
somebody took a photo of him at the French Laundry.
There were no masks at the table. None. And then
(01:27):
we had Karen Bass drinking in Ghana at a party
when the Pacific Palisades started to burn. Remember the fire
started I think at about ten thirty in the morning
on January the seventh, and she was in Ghana, in
(01:49):
Africa at a cocktail party celebrating the inauguration of the
new president of Ghana. Same time, while the Palisades was
beginning to burn, she was in Africa partying. So while
you were locked up in your house, Newsom was partying
at the French laundry when the Palisades thousands were fleeing,
(02:13):
running for their lives, losing their homes. Forever Bass was
partying in Ghada. And now chapter three, the riots begin
in Los Angeles Friday afternoon, June the sixth. We were
on the air i'mby seeing the television monitors and you
could see the mayhem starting to starting to begin in
(02:34):
downtown La So everybody knew about it by the afternoon
of Saturday, June seventh, right, the riots were twenty four
hours old. Did Gavin Newsom immediately fly to Los Angeles,
immediately contact the National Guard, contact LAPD, the Sheriff's Department,
to see what he could do, what kind of state
(02:56):
resources to quell the rioters. No, he didn't. He did
not offer the National Guard, He did not contact anybody.
He went over to the Odette Estate Winery. That's his winery.
He co founded it. In twenty eleven, there was an event.
(03:17):
The name of the event was Vineyard Vibes. I'm not
making this up. Vineyard Vibes. It was a fundraiser for
the plump Jack Foundation. Pumpjack is the name of this
wine company. It's his wine label. His sister created the
plump Jack Foundation and featured contemporary yet sophisticated wines, live
(03:42):
jazz music, locally made pizza and smash burgers. The perfect
kickoff to summer fun. Read the promotion. This will take
place on the winery crush pad, where we'll gather for music, food,
conversation and delicious wine. And he did. While Los Angeles
(04:04):
rioted Waycaren Bass was drinking at the cocktail party in Ghana, Ghana,
while Los Angeles burned. A source who photographed Newsom at
the event. I love that there's always a picture of
this expressed shock that the governor was in attendance because
the riots had broken out the day before. I couldn't
(04:26):
believe it. The source said, he was just walking around
like this was an everyday occurrence. He was at the
party for ninety minutes. When he left, he appeared to
retreat to the inner rooms of his winery, maybe to
get loaded, we don't know. So as he was drinking
wine in Napa Valley, the riders had already begun vandalizing
(04:50):
public buildings, barricading streets, setting vehicles on fire, throwing rocks, bottles,
and cinder blocks at law enforcement officers. Shortly after the
wine party finished. Newsom had done nothing to help stop
the disturbance. That's when Trump stepped in and authorized the
deployment of two thousand National Guard troops, saying they were
(05:13):
needed to address the lawlessness. Newsom, of course, has been
protesting it ever since, filing lawsuits, filing appeals. But the
truth was he was hosting a wine party in Napa
Valley while La was burning while Trump was ordering the
(05:34):
National Guard to put out the rioting. That's what Newsom
was doing.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
This.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
This is just poetic and it's beauty, isn't it. French
laundry during the COVID lockdown, cocktail party in Ghana during
the Palisades fire. And now we have a Napa Valley
wine event that Newsom was hosting while the riots broke
(06:03):
out in La spokeshole for the governor said that Newsom
proudly attended the event because it was raising funds for
the uc SF Cancer Center in honor of his mother,
who died of breast cancer. He actually hid behind his mother,
his deceased mother. This is how, this is how he
(06:23):
justifies abandoning Los Angeles during a riot to drink. He
was raising money for his mother. He did this a
few days ago, didn't he when there was this whole
hubbub whether he was interfering with immigration. Well, my daughter
is worried, daddy, are you going to get arrested? He
is so sad and pathetic. He hides behind his daughter
(06:46):
and deceased mother. Well, it's all about his family. It's
they do a run through of the French laundry story.
And remember he had told all of us not to
get together with our families for the approaching Thanksgiving holiday.
(07:07):
This was in November of twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well, you could remember when you're eating, in between the
eating and taking SIPs and you put your mask up,
just cut your mask down when you sip, and you
put it right back up. But you also you cannot
you have to be outside.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And then after a while you couldn't be outside. Remember
exactly they banged outside right. He later would apologize, saying,
I made a bad mistake. I need to preach and practice,
not just not just preach and not practice. So here
we go. Chapter three. Chapter three in the trilogy, Gavin
(07:47):
Newsom found drinking wine twenty four hours after the LA
riots started. He did not call the National Guard. Trump
had to. And going back to the last hour, LA
commanders are saying and other LAPD officers are saying, we
needed the National Guard. In fact, we needed more than
(08:09):
Cain than what came. So LAPD was begging for the
National Guard. Newsom didn't even consider it because he was
guzzling the wine. This is what you have running the
city and the state. It is no wonder. It's wal
to ole chaos. The two of them, Basst and Newsome
(08:31):
are more interested in going to elite cocktail parties. Well,
they need to relax.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I mean, wine helps people relax.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
It's very stressful.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
It's stressful running a city.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
In a state, especially a city that's burning and rioting. Right,
it's you know, you need to take a break and
knock back a couple of lines. All right, more coming up.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
We will definitely do the follow up. That story just broke,
and the story about Gavin Newsom was drinking wine Saturday afternoon,
June seventh at a reception in Napa Valley while LA
had broken out into a major riot, so big that
(09:20):
Trump had to step in and deploy two thousand National
Guard troops. In case you wonder why Newsom didn't do
that on his own, Newsom was hosting a party at
his winery and he was there for hours. Simply is
not interested the way Bass wasn't interested if the Palisades
(09:42):
was burning. Newsom wasn't interested if LA was rioting or not.
And I think you can call to draw a clear
line to Trump stepping in and getting the National guard
well on one of the other charming aspects of Los Angeles.
When it's not burning and people aren't rioting, is all
the drug addict homeless people in the streets get that
(10:05):
that cut one ready.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
The kt l A had a story. You may have
heard a TRNK. TRNK is a tranquilizer that veterinarians use,
and uh, some evil people, presumably south of the border,
have mixed the tranquilizer with fentanyl. Now I've seen these people.
(10:29):
What happens is their their bodies freeze up in a
bent over position. I remember one day driving down a
freeway ramp, got to the bottom and there's a guy
standing next to my car, and he is bent over,
absolutely stiff, breathing alive. He didn't fall over, he couldn't
(10:54):
stand up straight. He was so zombified by the TRENK.
Here's k t l A or order Terene Winter.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Tuesday afternoon, downtown la' skid row. We didn't have to
look far to find this.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Dope that comes out are the forest, I guess.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Among the crowd of homeless people packing these streets, strung
out addicts like Josh Booker.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Three days of train thoughe that's my finger.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Booker's finger ravaged by the flesh eating so called zombie
drug xylazine that new research shows as spriting across Los Angeles.
They cut the fennel with trank xylozine and it gives
you these blisters that come up out of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
It's like a like a parasite.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Almost. The animal tranquilizer, also known as trenk or dope trank,
is not approved for human use. Trank is mixed with
fentanyl to create a longer lasting high, making fentanyl the
deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced. Even deadlier.
What's worse, overdose reversal medications like Narcan don't work on
trank since it's not an opioid. Trank leaves users in
(11:59):
a zombie like state and causes absences that wrought the skin.
You feel a rush and a media rushaurant, and that's
what people are looking for.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
This is becoming kind of part of the new normal
in terms of illicit opioid use.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Doctor Joseph Friedman has been tracking the emergence of xylazine
for years. He led a recent study showing the increased
presence of xylazine across the Southland. Friedman tested urine and
drug samples of individuals throughout the state, even Mexico.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
There's actually a pretty high rate of xylazine in fentyl
samples in Los Angeles as well.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Friedman's study also revealed the drugs prevalence in Tijuana, where
drug experts say the cartels are manufacturing trenk and smuggling
shipments across the US Mexico border into southern California and
San Diego. That's where we travel to get a closer
look at drug seizures at the busy Santa se Through
Court of Entry. It's some major border crossing between San
(12:55):
Diego and Tijuana. US Customs and Border Protection agents say
they've intercepted a significant amount of fentanyl along with other drugs,
about forty eight thousand pounds of narcotics this year alone,
some of that xylazine and steadier and more concerning amounts.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Where we're seeing it is mixed with fentanyl, which could
be a double whammy for individuals who are taking fentanyl
and of course unbeknowns also taking xylazine as well.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
It seems like it's significant the amount of drug sees
here at the border each.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Week correct and we believe as much tools as possible
that we have hitting it from a different perspectives us
being very successful.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration San Diego Field Division,
in twenty twenty four, there were four xylazine related deaths
in that region. This is a photo of some of
the trenk confiscated from a fatal overdose last year. This
breakdown by region shows fentyl seizures containing xylazine agency in
Los Angeles, for example. While the number of seizures remain
(13:57):
low for xylazine compared to other more well known street drugs,
percentage wise, there's a significant increase in the drug's presence,
with LA more than doubling both powder and pilled trenk seizures.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
From twenty twenty three to twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Four, KTLA got exclusive access to the DEA Southwest Drug
Lab in San Diego County. This is where officials process
drug seizures that are tested and stored as possible evidence
for prosecution at the state and federal level.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So this was another seizure that was from the Los
Angeles area.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Special Agent in Charge Brian Clark with DEA San Diego
Field Division says this xylazine seizure alone is enough to
kill everyone in downtown LA.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
This is fencanol with xiolazine. So as you see multiple
kilos died purple, just as more of a marketing in
that color.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Clark cautioned when it comes to tracking trank, the statistics
could be higher.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
There may be.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Undercounted cases because not all labs test for xylazine a
non controlled substance. Special Agent in charge in Matthew Allen
dea LA Field Division says numbers aside. It remains with
the xylazine becoming a player in Ellie's drug supply.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
It's not tracked at the state level, So those numbers
are probably going to be higher, you know, they really are,
and especially a place like skid Row. What better market, right,
people who are just you're dealing with people who are
mentally ill, people who are drug addicted already, and they're
just they're preying on people who are already down.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Back on skid Row, trank user Josh Booker is fighting
another fix. He wants to get clean, knowing that next
hit could be his last.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
There's again what we take it.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
You know, He's something that we live, we live with.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You know, meantime, Gavin Newsom is sipping wine. You believe that,
of course you do.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Now xylazine is ravaging La drug addicts and mental patients,
which is most of the people who are homeless in
the streets. Karen Bass has done nothing for these people,
and they are starting to rot. Xylazine creates abscesses in
your skin. Your flesh rots, So now you have people
(16:08):
who are half bent over frozen flesh rotting, and we
have Bass and Newsome doing nothing about this. They're the
ones angry with Trump closing the border. The xylazine mixed
with the fentanyl is coming from Mexico. As they said,
there's huge xylazine manufacturing going on in Tijuana. The Border
(16:34):
Patrol just this week shut down construction of a three
thousand foot long tunnel connecting Tijuana and San Diego. Department
of Homeland Security and Mexican officials. It was supposed to
transport large scale drug contraband forty two inches high twenty
(16:55):
eight inches wide. They had electrical wiring, lighting, ventilation systems,
and attract system This is how the drug cartels were
going to continue to deliver the heroine and the fentinyl
and the trunk and the cocaine and everything else that
they sell here. This is what border patrol is doing
to shut off the drug supply, which is causing people
(17:18):
to rot and die in the middle of Karen Bass's
Los Angeles. This is what they do right in the
middle of the street, right in the middle of the
city the Karen Bass runs. She has some of her
Angelinos rotting and dying from the TRNK And meantime she
(17:38):
constantly campaigns against ice, border patrol and everything else the
Trump administration is doing to stop all the vile things
that are coming over the border. And Gavin Newsom keeps
sipping wine.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Six roun every day one to four o'clock. After four
o'clock John Covelt's show on demand on the iHeart app,
and you could hear what you missed next hour two
rounds of the moistline at three twenty and three point fifty.
San Francisco has come in last. It's the worst run
city in the country. According to wallet hub. They did
(18:20):
a study. They ranked one hundred and forty eight major
cities in the United States one hundred and forty eight cities,
and San Francisco came in one hundred and forty eighth,
and Oakland, right across the Bay, came in one hundred
and forty sixth. The best city top ranked was Provo, Utah.
(18:45):
The bottom five San Francisco, Detroit, Oakland, New York, and
Philadelphia and Los Angeles was number one. Worst quality of roads,
We have the worst roads in the nation. Time for
Richie Greenberg to come on. Richie's a writer and commentator
up in San Francisco. When we always get him on
(19:05):
whenever there's big Bay Area news. Richie, how are you.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Great? Thanks so much, and a belated happy birthday to
you as well.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Oh, thank you very much. You actually reside in San Francisco, right.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yes, I do, right in the city on the west side,
not too far from the ocean.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
How does it feel to live in the worst run
city in the nation?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Oh at two years in a row.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, two years ago.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah. But you know what when I went through this report.
When I went through, the first thing I was wondering
is what was the time frame that they were using
the researchers and the polls and all of that when
they compile the report. Was it like a calendar year
of twenty twenty four and now and now they're releasing
it now or was it a shot a snapshot in time,
(19:57):
which I think it was in April role because that
would indicate there'd be more indicative of who was the
mayor at that point. Was it the previous London breed
who we threw out or is it the new mayor London,
Daniel Lourie, who now has a lot of work cut
out for him to try and stop this such negative publicity,
(20:18):
because that's what this is. It's going to be continued
negative publicity that he is really trying to push back against,
you know, and that's what's important to me. And but
you got to look at see why why are we
one forty eight out of one forty eight and is
(20:38):
there any redeeming qualities that we haven't Actually we do.
I don't know if you if you looked at the reporter,
I mean it was, you know, kind of lengthy. But
we are number one in the best of infant mortality
in other words, survivability. We have the highest we're number
one in the least amount of infant for infant mortal.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
So they're not killing the babies exactly that is.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
A positive. Yes, So if that's a worry, maybe you
want to move to San Francisco, because then the chances
I didn't think.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
They were I didn't think they were making too many
babies in San Francisco. But I guess whatever they made,
they've been able to keep. Well.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah, and that's another issue as well. We are among
the lowest or the lowest of major metropolitan cities in
the country in terms of number of children in households,
very very low. But you know, this whole thing, it
is a combination of multiple factors. This has to do
with with financial responsibility and accountability and health. That's what
(21:43):
this is about. And it surely shows what happens when
you have sanctuary city and ideology here that comes into play.
You know it is it is ruined the tax base.
People are continuing to be leaving San Francisco. We've lost
several thousand tech jobs. When other cities, even right across
(22:06):
the Bay are gaining. We are still losing in the
tech sector. So that plus we have the decimation of
our retail sector. The downtown office occupancy is still dismally low.
So this is why it then is reflected in a
report like this where we are among the highest saddled
(22:32):
with long term debt that was also part of this.
The outcome of this report, we are pretty much at
the bottom. There also the insane budget. We have a
sixteen billion dollar proposed budget by the new mayor which
pretty much rivals the crazy amount of sixteen billion from
(22:53):
the last mayor, London Breed. And even though Daniel Lewie,
the mayor Lurry is trying to make some heads and
or tails of this and trying to push for cuts
in certain certain departments and agencies. Like just two days
ago there was a takeover of the city council weekly
(23:15):
meeting by the SEIU, you know the union. They yeah,
the union. One hundred union members took over the city
council chambers chanted for twenty minutes. That's all they do, man, exactly, stop,
don't do, not cut any jobs. They wound up having
to postpone the meeting two hours and I don't know
(23:37):
eleven or clod got arrested.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
This is the end of civilization, Yeah, but it really
is the end of when you're when you're raided the
worst city in the entire nation and you still have
unions chanting and busting up city council meetings.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
This is true in Santive. This progressive religion is more destructive.
You can do this so much damage if you drop
the nuclear bomb on San Francisco. What they have done
to the city is just shocking.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Absolutely. And you know we also rank at the bottom
one hundred and forty eight out of one forty eight
in high school graduation rates. I mean this is just
so they.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Can't read, and they can't do maths, and they're going
to take over the government.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
And saddled with the longest long term debt. Yes, and wow,
you know, yeah, what do you do? What do you do?
You know? People they I travel a lot and people
ask me, as are things really that bad in San Francisco,
And I say, well, you know, we have the natural beauty.
We've got pretty clean air in terms of in California.
(24:44):
But right on the water with the with the cold breeze.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, I got a good breeze there every day.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, as opposed to air pollution quality down at showing
down in La or you're pretty much towards the bottom
of the of the pile.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
And and we have the worst roads, aha, we we
have the worst roads.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Not you well, it's only off by three. I'm looking
it right, No, you're tired. Only Long Beach on Anaheim
tied at one and we're one twenty six here in Devers.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
All right, well that would really we're going to be
number one by ourselves next year, Richie, I gotta go.
Thank you for coming on again.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, my pleasure anytime.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
John Richie Greenberg, writer and commentator up in San Francisco.
San Francisco worst city in the nation according to a
wallet hub study, coming in one hundred and forty eighth
out of one hundred and forty eight city studied. Oakland
is number one for six. But we are number one,
and he's right tied with Long Beach in Anaheim. We
are tied for the worst roads. You remember when the
(25:45):
idiot voters refused to repeal the gas tax. They fell
for a Gavin Newsom ad campaign. Have the gas tax
increase was needed for the roads? Yeah, and I told
you they're not going to spend it on the roads.
The roads aren't going to be approved. This is probably
seven years ago. Yeah, roads not roads are not improved.
(26:10):
In fact, they're worse than Ever, How could La, Long
Beach and Anaheim all have the worst roads in the
in the nation, not the state, the nation with the
highest gas taxes in the nation. We got more coming up.
(26:33):
We're gonna tell you a funny story about a guy
who swallowed very expensive earrings and how they tracked down
the earrings. Well, we'll tell you next.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Kf I AM six forty lives everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
We are going to have more angle on from News
Nation to tell us about what's going on in the
Ditty trial because it's coming to the final stretch run
here and today there was testimony of the drug mule
who allegedly carried and delivered drugs for Ditty, and there
(27:17):
was a lot of wild every day. It seems to
be a lot of wild testimony. It's gone on for
weeks and periodically we talked to Laura'd see what the
latest outrage is. But this will be going before the
jury soon. All right, here we go. They've got dash
cam video cops tried to stop a Florida jewel thief.
(27:41):
He had a pair of seven hundred and seventy thousand dollars.
Tiffany earrings. Wow that he got during a robbery. Florida
Highway patrolman pulled over Jaython Gilder and I've seen the video.
They were so they could search the inside of his mouth.
(28:04):
I don't know if you need a warrant for that.
They take him, took him out of the car, and
Gilder is thrashing around. The three officers wrestled him to
the ground, demanding open your mouth. He had stolen the
earrings from Tiffany in company, the store at a nearby
(28:25):
shopping wall. Very expensive, how old? How much is yours?
I don't have it. You don't have any Tiffany.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
I don't have any Tiffany anything really nothing. Huh.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
The cops noticed he was this guy was talking with
his mouth closed and he was moving an object around
with his tongue. You're about to get tased, yelled one trooper.
I don't have to. And he swallowed. He swallowed the earrings.
(29:00):
How he got into the store is he claimed to
be a representative for an Orlando Magic NBA player, and
they brought him. They believed him, and they brought him
into a special VIP room. He said his name was Sean.
He was negotiating a sale for a magic player. Then
he grabbed two sets of earrings, one nearly five carrots
(29:24):
worth one hundred and sixty thousand dollars, another eight carrots
that worth six hundred and nine thousand. Then he took
the place on a wild chase on Interstate ten. But
they couldn't find the stolen earrings. So they take him
to jail, and he suddenly asked the staff if he
was going to be charged with what's in my stomach?
(29:49):
So they gave him a body scan, and I got
there's a photo of the body scan, and there they
are sitting in his colon. They're in his digestive tracked
and it took more than twelve days to poop them out.
To poop them out, Yeah, they didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
They didn't go in surgically and.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Open them up. Nobody wanted to do that. They figured
eventually it was gonna come out. I guess they got
stuck on something, right. Well, I mean, you don't normally
hold food for twelve days. No, no, no, but if
you held your your poop for twelve days, you'd explode.
Eventually the earrings were expelled and they were cleaned. I
(30:36):
would hope. So certly, Tiffany has a master jeweler, clean
impoort master jeweler. What's the difference between a poop diamond
and a blood diamond? They and then then they returned
the ear rings to the security manager. This guy had
forty eight outstanding warrants in Colorado and he'd robbed another
(30:58):
Tiffany's in a few years ago. Didn't say he worked
for a magic or a MAVs player and a Nuggets player.
I don't know. I don't know if that was his
usual scam. Well, to get to get earrings that expensive,
you have to you have to somehow prove that you're
you're worth you know, a lot of money, because they
(31:19):
know that these you know, there's a lot of bad
guys out there to steal these jewels. I don't get
paying six hundred thousand dollars for a pair of earrings.
I don't either.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
I mean you have to be I mean, you have
to be Jeff Bezos that kind of guy.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
See even if even if you are, why, I mean,
obviously as there's some people can afford this, but then
what does it do for them to have a six
hundred thousand dollars pair of earrings.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I don't know, because I don't have such a thing.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
You know, it's just the ability to say they can.
Speaker 8 (31:50):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I guess they don't have that impulse. You would have
that impulse if I could afford it, you'd be buying.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Yeah, because I'm asking jewelry, but I can't afford that.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
I know it lurks inside you are we coming back?
Lori Engel from News Nation on the Didny trial, the
drug mule testified the guy who's was hired to among
other things, you know, he's one of the assistants to
carry Ditty's drugs that he needed every day for his
freak off parties and just his general use. Debormark live
(32:23):
in the KFI twenty four our newsroom. Hey, you've been
listening to the John Covelt 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. I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every
day from one until four o'clock. After four o'clock, John
Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app. It's the
podcast and that's where you get to listen to what
you missed. Next hour, two rounds of the Moistline. We're
gonna have that at three twenty and three fifty. We're
(00:21):
also gonna have Lora Angele on from News Nation to
tell us the latest in the p Diddy trial, because
that's coming to a close shortly, and there were a
lot of wild details testified to in court today. But first,
this seems to me like chapter three of a trilogy.
(00:41):
Chapter one several years ago, Kevin Newsom puts us all
of Lockdown with harsh rules, and then he goes to
the French laundry and crowds into a small dining room
with twelve other people, including a lot of lobbyists who
bribe him for a living, and he drinks a lot
of wine and eats a lot of expensive food, and
(01:05):
somebody snapped a photo of it, and that became a
scandal so big there was a recall election over it.
That's what really ignited the recall. I mean, the recall
was going on, but they weren't getting enough signatures until
somebody took a photo of him at the French Laundry.
There were no masks at the table. None. And then
(01:27):
we had Karen Bass drinking in Ghana at a party
when the Pacific Palisades started to burn. Remember the fire
started I think at about ten thirty in the morning
on January the seventh, and she was in Ghana, in
(01:49):
Africa at a cocktail party celebrating the inauguration of the
new president of Ghana. Same time, while the Palisades was
beginning to burn, she was in Africa partying. So while
you were locked up in your house, Newsom was partying
at the French laundry when the Palisades thousands were fleeing,
(02:13):
running for their lives, losing their homes. Forever Bass was
partying in Ghada. And now chapter three, the riots begin
in Los Angeles Friday afternoon, June the sixth. We were
on the air i'mby seeing the television monitors and you
could see the mayhem starting to starting to begin in
(02:34):
downtown La So everybody knew about it by the afternoon
of Saturday, June seventh, right, the riots were twenty four
hours old. Did Gavin Newsom immediately fly to Los Angeles,
immediately contact the National Guard, contact LAPD, the Sheriff's Department,
to see what he could do, what kind of state
(02:56):
resources to quell the rioters. No, he didn't. He did
not offer the National Guard, He did not contact anybody.
He went over to the Odette Estate Winery. That's his winery.
He co founded it. In twenty eleven, there was an event.
(03:17):
The name of the event was Vineyard Vibes. I'm not
making this up. Vineyard Vibes. It was a fundraiser for
the plump Jack Foundation. Pumpjack is the name of this
wine company. It's his wine label. His sister created the
plump Jack Foundation and featured contemporary yet sophisticated wines, live
(03:42):
jazz music, locally made pizza and smash burgers. The perfect
kickoff to summer fun. Read the promotion. This will take
place on the winery crush pad, where we'll gather for music, food,
conversation and delicious wine. And he did. While Los Angeles
(04:04):
rioted Waycaren Bass was drinking at the cocktail party in Ghana, Ghana,
while Los Angeles burned. A source who photographed Newsom at
the event. I love that there's always a picture of
this expressed shock that the governor was in attendance because
the riots had broken out the day before. I couldn't
(04:26):
believe it. The source said, he was just walking around
like this was an everyday occurrence. He was at the
party for ninety minutes. When he left, he appeared to
retreat to the inner rooms of his winery, maybe to
get loaded, we don't know. So as he was drinking
wine in Napa Valley, the riders had already begun vandalizing
(04:50):
public buildings, barricading streets, setting vehicles on fire, throwing rocks, bottles,
and cinder blocks at law enforcement officers. Shortly after the
wine party finished. Newsom had done nothing to help stop
the disturbance. That's when Trump stepped in and authorized the
deployment of two thousand National Guard troops, saying they were
(05:13):
needed to address the lawlessness. Newsom, of course, has been
protesting it ever since, filing lawsuits, filing appeals. But the
truth was he was hosting a wine party in Napa
Valley while La was burning while Trump was ordering the
(05:34):
National Guard to put out the rioting. That's what Newsom
was doing.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
This.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
This is just poetic and it's beauty, isn't it. French
laundry during the COVID lockdown, cocktail party in Ghana during
the Palisades fire. And now we have a Napa Valley
wine event that Newsom was hosting while the riots broke
(06:03):
out in La spokeshole for the governor said that Newsom
proudly attended the event because it was raising funds for
the uc SF Cancer Center in honor of his mother,
who died of breast cancer. He actually hid behind his mother,
his deceased mother. This is how, this is how he
(06:23):
justifies abandoning Los Angeles during a riot to drink. He
was raising money for his mother. He did this a
few days ago, didn't he when there was this whole
hubbub whether he was interfering with immigration. Well, my daughter
is worried, daddy, are you going to get arrested? He
is so sad and pathetic. He hides behind his daughter
(06:46):
and deceased mother. Well, it's all about his family. It's
they do a run through of the French laundry story.
And remember he had told all of us not to
get together with our families for the approaching Thanksgiving holiday.
(07:07):
This was in November of twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well, you could remember when you're eating, in between the
eating and taking SIPs and you put your mask up,
just cut your mask down when you sip, and you
put it right back up. But you also you cannot
you have to be outside.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And then after a while you couldn't be outside. Remember
exactly they banged outside right. He later would apologize, saying,
I made a bad mistake. I need to preach and practice,
not just not just preach and not practice. So here
we go. Chapter three. Chapter three in the trilogy, Gavin
(07:47):
Newsom found drinking wine twenty four hours after the LA
riots started. He did not call the National Guard. Trump
had to. And going back to the last hour, LA
commanders are saying and other LAPD officers are saying, we
needed the National Guard. In fact, we needed more than
(08:09):
Cain than what came. So LAPD was begging for the
National Guard. Newsom didn't even consider it because he was
guzzling the wine. This is what you have running the
city and the state. It is no wonder. It's wal
to ole chaos. The two of them, Basst and Newsome
(08:31):
are more interested in going to elite cocktail parties. Well,
they need to relax.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I mean, wine helps people relax.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
It's very stressful.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
It's stressful running a city.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
In a state, especially a city that's burning and rioting. Right,
it's you know, you need to take a break and
knock back a couple of lines. All right, more coming up.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
We will definitely do the follow up. That story just broke,
and the story about Gavin Newsom was drinking wine Saturday afternoon,
June seventh at a reception in Napa Valley while LA
had broken out into a major riot, so big that
(09:20):
Trump had to step in and deploy two thousand National
Guard troops. In case you wonder why Newsom didn't do
that on his own, Newsom was hosting a party at
his winery and he was there for hours. Simply is
not interested the way Bass wasn't interested if the Palisades
(09:42):
was burning. Newsom wasn't interested if LA was rioting or not.
And I think you can call to draw a clear
line to Trump stepping in and getting the National guard
well on one of the other charming aspects of Los Angeles.
When it's not burning and people aren't rioting, is all
the drug addict homeless people in the streets get that
(10:05):
that cut one ready.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
The kt l A had a story. You may have
heard a TRNK. TRNK is a tranquilizer that veterinarians use,
and uh, some evil people, presumably south of the border,
have mixed the tranquilizer with fentanyl. Now I've seen these people.
(10:29):
What happens is their their bodies freeze up in a
bent over position. I remember one day driving down a
freeway ramp, got to the bottom and there's a guy
standing next to my car, and he is bent over,
absolutely stiff, breathing alive. He didn't fall over, he couldn't
(10:54):
stand up straight. He was so zombified by the TRENK.
Here's k t l A or order Terene Winter.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Tuesday afternoon, downtown la' skid row. We didn't have to
look far to find this.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Dope that comes out are the forest, I guess.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Among the crowd of homeless people packing these streets, strung
out addicts like Josh Booker.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Three days of train thoughe that's my finger.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Booker's finger ravaged by the flesh eating so called zombie
drug xylazine that new research shows as spriting across Los Angeles.
They cut the fennel with trank xylozine and it gives
you these blisters that come up out of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
It's like a like a parasite.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Almost. The animal tranquilizer, also known as trenk or dope trank,
is not approved for human use. Trank is mixed with
fentanyl to create a longer lasting high, making fentanyl the
deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced. Even deadlier.
What's worse, overdose reversal medications like Narcan don't work on
trank since it's not an opioid. Trank leaves users in
(11:59):
a zombie like state and causes absences that wrought the skin.
You feel a rush and a media rushaurant, and that's
what people are looking for.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
This is becoming kind of part of the new normal
in terms of illicit opioid use.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Doctor Joseph Friedman has been tracking the emergence of xylazine
for years. He led a recent study showing the increased
presence of xylazine across the Southland. Friedman tested urine and
drug samples of individuals throughout the state, even Mexico.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
There's actually a pretty high rate of xylazine in fentyl
samples in Los Angeles as well.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Friedman's study also revealed the drugs prevalence in Tijuana, where
drug experts say the cartels are manufacturing trenk and smuggling
shipments across the US Mexico border into southern California and
San Diego. That's where we travel to get a closer
look at drug seizures at the busy Santa se Through
Court of Entry. It's some major border crossing between San
(12:55):
Diego and Tijuana. US Customs and Border Protection agents say
they've intercepted a significant amount of fentanyl along with other drugs,
about forty eight thousand pounds of narcotics this year alone,
some of that xylazine and steadier and more concerning amounts.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Where we're seeing it is mixed with fentanyl, which could
be a double whammy for individuals who are taking fentanyl
and of course unbeknowns also taking xylazine as well.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
It seems like it's significant the amount of drug sees
here at the border each.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Week correct and we believe as much tools as possible
that we have hitting it from a different perspectives us
being very successful.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration San Diego Field Division,
in twenty twenty four, there were four xylazine related deaths
in that region. This is a photo of some of
the trenk confiscated from a fatal overdose last year. This
breakdown by region shows fentyl seizures containing xylazine agency in
Los Angeles, for example. While the number of seizures remain
(13:57):
low for xylazine compared to other more well known street drugs,
percentage wise, there's a significant increase in the drug's presence,
with LA more than doubling both powder and pilled trenk seizures.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
From twenty twenty three to twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Four, KTLA got exclusive access to the DEA Southwest Drug
Lab in San Diego County. This is where officials process
drug seizures that are tested and stored as possible evidence
for prosecution at the state and federal level.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So this was another seizure that was from the Los
Angeles area.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Special Agent in Charge Brian Clark with DEA San Diego
Field Division says this xylazine seizure alone is enough to
kill everyone in downtown LA.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
This is fencanol with xiolazine. So as you see multiple
kilos died purple, just as more of a marketing in
that color.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Clark cautioned when it comes to tracking trank, the statistics
could be higher.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
There may be.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Undercounted cases because not all labs test for xylazine a
non controlled substance. Special Agent in charge in Matthew Allen
dea LA Field Division says numbers aside. It remains with
the xylazine becoming a player in Ellie's drug supply.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
It's not tracked at the state level, So those numbers
are probably going to be higher, you know, they really are,
and especially a place like skid Row. What better market, right,
people who are just you're dealing with people who are
mentally ill, people who are drug addicted already, and they're
just they're preying on people who are already down.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Back on skid Row, trank user Josh Booker is fighting
another fix. He wants to get clean, knowing that next
hit could be his last.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
There's again what we take it.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
You know, He's something that we live, we live with.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You know, meantime, Gavin Newsom is sipping wine. You believe that,
of course you do.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Now xylazine is ravaging La drug addicts and mental patients,
which is most of the people who are homeless in
the streets. Karen Bass has done nothing for these people,
and they are starting to rot. Xylazine creates abscesses in
your skin. Your flesh rots, So now you have people
(16:08):
who are half bent over frozen flesh rotting, and we
have Bass and Newsome doing nothing about this. They're the
ones angry with Trump closing the border. The xylazine mixed
with the fentanyl is coming from Mexico. As they said,
there's huge xylazine manufacturing going on in Tijuana. The Border
(16:34):
Patrol just this week shut down construction of a three
thousand foot long tunnel connecting Tijuana and San Diego. Department
of Homeland Security and Mexican officials. It was supposed to
transport large scale drug contraband forty two inches high twenty
(16:55):
eight inches wide. They had electrical wiring, lighting, ventilation systems,
and attract system This is how the drug cartels were
going to continue to deliver the heroine and the fentinyl
and the trunk and the cocaine and everything else that
they sell here. This is what border patrol is doing
to shut off the drug supply, which is causing people
(17:18):
to rot and die in the middle of Karen Bass's
Los Angeles. This is what they do right in the
middle of the street, right in the middle of the
city the Karen Bass runs. She has some of her
Angelinos rotting and dying from the TRNK And meantime she
(17:38):
constantly campaigns against ice, border patrol and everything else the
Trump administration is doing to stop all the vile things
that are coming over the border. And Gavin Newsom keeps
sipping wine.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Six roun every day one to four o'clock. After four
o'clock John Covelt's show on demand on the iHeart app,
and you could hear what you missed next hour two
rounds of the moistline at three twenty and three point fifty.
San Francisco has come in last. It's the worst run
city in the country. According to wallet hub. They did
(18:20):
a study. They ranked one hundred and forty eight major
cities in the United States one hundred and forty eight cities,
and San Francisco came in one hundred and forty eighth,
and Oakland, right across the Bay, came in one hundred
and forty sixth. The best city top ranked was Provo, Utah.
(18:45):
The bottom five San Francisco, Detroit, Oakland, New York, and
Philadelphia and Los Angeles was number one. Worst quality of roads,
We have the worst roads in the nation. Time for
Richie Greenberg to come on. Richie's a writer and commentator
up in San Francisco. When we always get him on
(19:05):
whenever there's big Bay Area news. Richie, how are you.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Great? Thanks so much, and a belated happy birthday to
you as well.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Oh, thank you very much. You actually reside in San Francisco, right.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yes, I do, right in the city on the west side,
not too far from the ocean.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
How does it feel to live in the worst run
city in the nation?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Oh at two years in a row.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, two years ago.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah. But you know what when I went through this report.
When I went through, the first thing I was wondering
is what was the time frame that they were using
the researchers and the polls and all of that when
they compile the report. Was it like a calendar year
of twenty twenty four and now and now they're releasing
it now or was it a shot a snapshot in time,
(19:57):
which I think it was in April role because that
would indicate there'd be more indicative of who was the
mayor at that point. Was it the previous London breed
who we threw out or is it the new mayor London,
Daniel Lourie, who now has a lot of work cut
out for him to try and stop this such negative publicity,
(20:18):
because that's what this is. It's going to be continued
negative publicity that he is really trying to push back against,
you know, and that's what's important to me. And but
you got to look at see why why are we
one forty eight out of one forty eight and is
(20:38):
there any redeeming qualities that we haven't Actually we do.
I don't know if you if you looked at the reporter,
I mean it was, you know, kind of lengthy. But
we are number one in the best of infant mortality
in other words, survivability. We have the highest we're number
one in the least amount of infant for infant mortal.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
So they're not killing the babies exactly that is.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
A positive. Yes, So if that's a worry, maybe you
want to move to San Francisco, because then the chances
I didn't think.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
They were I didn't think they were making too many
babies in San Francisco. But I guess whatever they made,
they've been able to keep. Well.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah, and that's another issue as well. We are among
the lowest or the lowest of major metropolitan cities in
the country in terms of number of children in households,
very very low. But you know, this whole thing, it
is a combination of multiple factors. This has to do
with with financial responsibility and accountability and health. That's what
(21:43):
this is about. And it surely shows what happens when
you have sanctuary city and ideology here that comes into play.
You know it is it is ruined the tax base.
People are continuing to be leaving San Francisco. We've lost
several thousand tech jobs. When other cities, even right across
(22:06):
the Bay are gaining. We are still losing in the
tech sector. So that plus we have the decimation of
our retail sector. The downtown office occupancy is still dismally low.
So this is why it then is reflected in a
report like this where we are among the highest saddled
(22:32):
with long term debt that was also part of this.
The outcome of this report, we are pretty much at
the bottom. There also the insane budget. We have a
sixteen billion dollar proposed budget by the new mayor which
pretty much rivals the crazy amount of sixteen billion from
(22:53):
the last mayor, London Breed. And even though Daniel Lewie,
the mayor Lurry is trying to make some heads and
or tails of this and trying to push for cuts
in certain certain departments and agencies. Like just two days
ago there was a takeover of the city council weekly
(23:15):
meeting by the SEIU, you know the union. They yeah,
the union. One hundred union members took over the city
council chambers chanted for twenty minutes. That's all they do, man, exactly, stop,
don't do, not cut any jobs. They wound up having
to postpone the meeting two hours and I don't know
(23:37):
eleven or clod got arrested.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
This is the end of civilization, Yeah, but it really
is the end of when you're when you're raided the
worst city in the entire nation and you still have
unions chanting and busting up city council meetings.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
This is true in Santive. This progressive religion is more destructive.
You can do this so much damage if you drop
the nuclear bomb on San Francisco. What they have done
to the city is just shocking.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Absolutely. And you know we also rank at the bottom
one hundred and forty eight out of one forty eight
in high school graduation rates. I mean this is just
so they.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Can't read, and they can't do maths, and they're going
to take over the government.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
And saddled with the longest long term debt. Yes, and wow,
you know, yeah, what do you do? What do you do?
You know? People they I travel a lot and people
ask me, as are things really that bad in San Francisco,
And I say, well, you know, we have the natural beauty.
We've got pretty clean air in terms of in California.
(24:44):
But right on the water with the with the cold breeze.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, I got a good breeze there every day.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, as opposed to air pollution quality down at showing
down in La or you're pretty much towards the bottom
of the of the pile.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
And and we have the worst roads, aha, we we
have the worst roads.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Not you well, it's only off by three. I'm looking
it right, No, you're tired. Only Long Beach on Anaheim
tied at one and we're one twenty six here in Devers.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
All right, well that would really we're going to be
number one by ourselves next year, Richie, I gotta go.
Thank you for coming on again.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, my pleasure anytime.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
John Richie Greenberg, writer and commentator up in San Francisco.
San Francisco worst city in the nation according to a
wallet hub study, coming in one hundred and forty eighth
out of one hundred and forty eight city studied. Oakland
is number one for six. But we are number one,
and he's right tied with Long Beach in Anaheim. We
are tied for the worst roads. You remember when the
(25:45):
idiot voters refused to repeal the gas tax. They fell
for a Gavin Newsom ad campaign. Have the gas tax
increase was needed for the roads? Yeah, and I told
you they're not going to spend it on the roads.
The roads aren't going to be approved. This is probably
seven years ago. Yeah, roads not roads are not improved.
(26:10):
In fact, they're worse than Ever, How could La, Long
Beach and Anaheim all have the worst roads in the
in the nation, not the state, the nation with the
highest gas taxes in the nation. We got more coming up.
(26:33):
We're gonna tell you a funny story about a guy
who swallowed very expensive earrings and how they tracked down
the earrings. Well, we'll tell you next.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Kf I AM six forty lives everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
We are going to have more angle on from News
Nation to tell us about what's going on in the
Ditty trial because it's coming to the final stretch run
here and today there was testimony of the drug mule
who allegedly carried and delivered drugs for Ditty, and there
(27:17):
was a lot of wild every day. It seems to
be a lot of wild testimony. It's gone on for
weeks and periodically we talked to Laura'd see what the
latest outrage is. But this will be going before the
jury soon. All right, here we go. They've got dash
cam video cops tried to stop a Florida jewel thief.
(27:41):
He had a pair of seven hundred and seventy thousand dollars.
Tiffany earrings. Wow that he got during a robbery. Florida
Highway patrolman pulled over Jaython Gilder and I've seen the video.
They were so they could search the inside of his mouth.
(28:04):
I don't know if you need a warrant for that.
They take him, took him out of the car, and
Gilder is thrashing around. The three officers wrestled him to
the ground, demanding open your mouth. He had stolen the
earrings from Tiffany in company, the store at a nearby
(28:25):
shopping wall. Very expensive, how old? How much is yours?
I don't have it. You don't have any Tiffany.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
I don't have any Tiffany anything really nothing. Huh.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
The cops noticed he was this guy was talking with
his mouth closed and he was moving an object around
with his tongue. You're about to get tased, yelled one trooper.
I don't have to. And he swallowed. He swallowed the earrings.
(29:00):
How he got into the store is he claimed to
be a representative for an Orlando Magic NBA player, and
they brought him. They believed him, and they brought him
into a special VIP room. He said his name was Sean.
He was negotiating a sale for a magic player. Then
he grabbed two sets of earrings, one nearly five carrots
(29:24):
worth one hundred and sixty thousand dollars, another eight carrots
that worth six hundred and nine thousand. Then he took
the place on a wild chase on Interstate ten. But
they couldn't find the stolen earrings. So they take him
to jail, and he suddenly asked the staff if he
was going to be charged with what's in my stomach?
(29:49):
So they gave him a body scan, and I got
there's a photo of the body scan, and there they
are sitting in his colon. They're in his digestive tracked
and it took more than twelve days to poop them out.
To poop them out, Yeah, they didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
They didn't go in surgically and.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Open them up. Nobody wanted to do that. They figured
eventually it was gonna come out. I guess they got
stuck on something, right. Well, I mean, you don't normally
hold food for twelve days. No, no, no, but if
you held your your poop for twelve days, you'd explode.
Eventually the earrings were expelled and they were cleaned. I
(30:36):
would hope. So certly, Tiffany has a master jeweler, clean
impoort master jeweler. What's the difference between a poop diamond
and a blood diamond? They and then then they returned
the ear rings to the security manager. This guy had
forty eight outstanding warrants in Colorado and he'd robbed another
(30:58):
Tiffany's in a few years ago. Didn't say he worked
for a magic or a MAVs player and a Nuggets player.
I don't know. I don't know if that was his
usual scam. Well, to get to get earrings that expensive,
you have to you have to somehow prove that you're
you're worth you know, a lot of money, because they
(31:19):
know that these you know, there's a lot of bad
guys out there to steal these jewels. I don't get
paying six hundred thousand dollars for a pair of earrings.
I don't either.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
I mean you have to be I mean, you have
to be Jeff Bezos that kind of guy.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
See even if even if you are, why, I mean,
obviously as there's some people can afford this, but then
what does it do for them to have a six
hundred thousand dollars pair of earrings.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I don't know, because I don't have such a thing.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
You know, it's just the ability to say they can.
Speaker 8 (31:50):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I guess they don't have that impulse. You would have
that impulse if I could afford it, you'd be buying.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Yeah, because I'm asking jewelry, but I can't afford that.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
I know it lurks inside you are we coming back?
