Let's get right into it here. Anne Marie Schubert is
coming on, former DA of Sacramento County, and she's now
the new president and CEO of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation,
and they're filing a lawsuit against the California Board of
Parole because the board has new regulations on letting murderers
(00:48):
out of prison. Is the easiest way to put it.
These are murderers who were sentenced to life without the
possibility of parole, and then it turns out they can
get parole. Uh and uh. Amory Schuberts here to explain it, Amrie,
how are you?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I'm good? Thank you so much for having me back on.
I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Oh yeah, this this makes my blood boil. All right,
tell me, tell me what what what this is about?
What is this new regulation, how is it going to
get murderers out early?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
So last fall the parole Board. Now keep in mind
this is you know, even months before the terrible decision
on David Funston, the child pedophile. They they propose these
regulations that would create a process and a pathway for
people serving el WOP and other long term sentences to
get out. And so what their system is is that
(01:45):
it would be let's do kind of a mini let's
let's identify the people we think we should do it,
and there's virtually no exclusions, meaning cop killers, baby killers,
serial killers, math murderers. You know, there was a big
case down in LA that my friend Michelle Hannessy did
a guy on a shooting spree and killed I think
five people and tried to shoot several others.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
He was sentenced to ALWOP, which is parole for people.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah sorry, life without parole. Yes. And so that's the
type of people that we're talking about. These are people
that when jury's convicted and judges sentenced is sentenced them.
The prosecutors turned to the family and said, don't ever worry,
he's never getting out of prison. And here we are
now because they clearly want to let these people out.
They want to create this pathway to allow that to happen. Now,
(02:32):
now the problem is is that, you know, life without parole.
For them to change this whole system, they'd have to
basically rewrite sentencing laws, and they want to get judges
to allow this to happen, or communation commutation from the governor.
So it's very disturbing. They did not do this through
the legislature. You know, they would never get it through
(02:54):
the legislature because bills have tried been tried like this
before and they have been killed in committee. And so
now they do this end around and go through a
bureaucratic agency to do this. So it's very disturbing on
many levels.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
All Right, I don't quite understand this. How are they
allowed to write a regulation to let inmates out when
they're supposed to serve life of that parole if the
legislature and the governor wouldn't approve it. I mean, something
like this seems like it would have to have the
legislature and the governor.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
So what their claim is going to be is, well,
we're not really going to let them out, We're going
to make a recommendation that they be let out. And
we're going to ask the judges that sentenced him or
the governor whoever that is, to commute it. So it
would create I mean, for these families who never anticipated
ever hating to hear about these cases again, they're going
(03:52):
to be not only going through a kind of a
mini parole hearing or quasi parole hearing, but then they'd
have to go back to court judges under you know,
years ago in nineteen ninety, California voters passed ballot measures
saying judges can't reduce or get rid of what we
call special circumstances. You can't. Life without parole is the
lowest sentence that they can get, and so they'd have to.
(04:13):
Let's take someone like Scott Peterson who kills his pregnant
wife and child. He gets first a death penalty, then
elwop life without parole. The only way that this would
work is that they'd have to make this recommendation and
then they'd have to go back to court and tell
the judge, well, we think he should get something less
than first, agreemer, we should you should give him something lesser,
(04:34):
even though the jury found him guilty of these things.
It's it's a tortuous process, both for victims and really
everybody else to get to the end result, which is
they want to let people out, including like I said,
cop killers, baby killers. It's really these are.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Now the worst. But he's said, these are the worst
of the worst. These are the ones who we're supposed
to get the death penalty because they're the worst of
the worst. Now the trying to create an exit ramp
to let them out early.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Absolutely, that's exactly what it's about. And it's you know,
I got a question today at this press conference. Well,
the Governor's office says, this is a really fair process,
and I'm like, if it was so fair, why didn't
you run through the legislature.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So the government's the Governor's in on this, of.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Course, Well, I mean the parle board acts that his
you know, I'm sure at his direction. So I would
imagine that would be the case.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Everybody on the parole board was nominated by Newsom and
renominated by him.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yes, one hundred percent. And so this is a really
big deal that we're talking about thousands of inmates by
their own numbers of boards of maybe six to seven
thousand inmates that would qualify. I mean, people like Scott
Peterson would almost be immediately eligible. There's people that have
killed four or five people that would be eligible. There's
(05:52):
one of our lead plaintiffs is the aunt of a
little girl named Sandra Cantu, who was kidnapped, assaulted horribly
as strangled to death and stuffed in a suitcase and
thrown in an irrigation canal. She plied to life without parole,
and now she has an opportunity to potentially get out.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Okay, so you're filing a lawsuit to stop this. Uh,
where where is it going to be heard? When is
it going to be heard?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Well, is it be filed in It was filed in
Sacramento today, it'll be assigned to a judicial officer and
so probably within the next few weeks we may know more,
but you know, it'll take a while, but our goal
is to stop it before they're implemented. They you know,
they are set to go into effect in October.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
And what's your legal argument, like, what what? What? What's
the mechanism to prove that they're overstepping It seems clear
from a common sense standpoint, But what are you going
to be saying in court?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
A couple of different things. The first one is the
Parole Board has the statutory legal authority to write regulations
related to parole. Okay, they're not entitled to parole. Hey,
they're trying to write regulations related to a different area
of law called resentencing. So that's one of our arguments.
It's far beyond their authority. The second one is they
(07:14):
don't have these sority to rewrite sentencing for life without parole.
There's a bunch of other things that different standards that
they're applying. There's also this very exciting thing called Administrative
Procedures Act where they if they don't effectively answer comments
during this process, then they can be thrown out. So
we have a lot of different things that we're arguing,
(07:35):
but we're very hopeful that we get a good outcome
here because I can't imagine this happening.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
This is like one of these worst case scenarios. Boy,
the pearl boards really filled with lunatics, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Well, there's definitely means to be accountability for sure.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, yeah, and they reflect newsome obviously. All right, Well, listen,
keep contact with us and let us know how this
thing progresses.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Are right, absolutely, thank you so much for having me on.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
All right, Amry Schubert, President and CEO of the Criminal
Justice Legal Foundation. Is that outrageous? There really is, these
ideological fanatics. Newsome appointed them all. He's one of these
people they want to let It's not hyperbole, it's not
an exaggeration. They want to let everybody out, including the
worst of the worst when it comes to murders. That's
(08:22):
in a nutshell with this, this whole reregulation of the
system is only people would pay attention. I cannot believe
there is more than a one percent constituency for this nonsense.
Maybe the prisoners and their families. That's about it.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yesterday I was telling you that two things which could
drive Paramount out of Los Angeles, out of California. Number
one is that slimy little dwarf Rob Bonta, the corrupt
Attorney General Newsome is mini me. I believe, I believe
(10:03):
Bonta lives inside Newsom's nether regions. He's filing a lawsuit
or joined an anti trust lawsuit because Paramount's buying Warner
Brothers and David Ellison is the head of Paramount and
he's really pissed off. And so other states are now
(10:26):
trying to woo Paramount to move to where they are.
The Tennessee Deputy Governor Stuart mcwherder has written a letter
urging Ellison, the CEO, to move the headquarters, and he goes,
we have low taxes. Companies that choose Tennessee find a
(10:51):
more favorable business climate. You're not gonna find. See. In
other words, the State's not going to sue you when
you want to merge with another company. Not only that,
it looks like Newsom really pulled a See. I don't
know if he made this big blunder or he did
(11:11):
this on purpose and was hoping to get away with it.
Part two is he signed a bill last year to
double the state's tax credits for Hollywood productions from three
hundred and thirty million to seven hundred and fifty million,
and somehow he ended up signing a bill which put
(11:35):
a cap on the tax credits. First he creates a
bill that doubles the tax credits, then he signed a
bill that puts a hard cap a low cap, so
the tax credits that Hollywood got last year are basically gone.
Nobody seems to have read the bill, according to the
(11:57):
California Post, not the legislators, not the governor. This is
this is how a stupid Newsome and this legislat legislator
crowd is. See in New Jersey, which is a high
tax state, they're offering four hundred and thirty million dollars
(12:17):
a year in tax incentives. So I told you. Netflix
has moved to moving to an old military base in
Monmouth County and setting up I think a dozen sound
stages there. And there are other companies that are off
to New Jersey, and New Jersey's not the only place.
New York, Georgia, Vancouver, the UK, Ireland. Some of them
(12:39):
have been doing this for decades, some of them doing
it recently. Jersey is a big threat, so you're supposed
to be competitive. And Hollywood production is down here forty
to fifty percent. And now Newsom takes away the tax
credits that he just passed a lot of hooplah with that.
He's doing a big victory lap. And the dumbasses in
(13:02):
the legislature past this thing, send it to Newsom's office.
I guess nobody on knew some staff Reddit or this
was done on purpose and they got caught, so he knew.
Some is desperate for money. He really busted the budget
on illegal alien healthcare, and he's scrambling hard to try
to find a little here and a little there. Say,
(13:25):
I don't believe they make mistakes. This stupid. They're stupid,
but that's not this bad. I think they did it
hoping they'd get away with it because they don't have
the money for this illegal alien health care. Nonsense. It's
so horrifically insulting to every every legal American family in
(13:48):
this state because they told you your health insurance is
going to go up four hundred dollars a year per
family to fund a legal alien health care. And I
bet you that's why the Hollywood tax credit was suddenly reversed.
And other states are looking at this and go woo,
this is a clown show. I mean, Jersey government is
(14:11):
just as high tax and democratic as Newsome, but they
want the business because business brings in more tax revenue
to spend on all the nonsense. Unbelievable. Everybody's shaking their
head at this. When we come back, Newsom's got another problem.
(14:32):
A woman that he had an adulterous affair with is
writing a story for Vanity Fair and she's gonna tell everything.
Her name is Ruby Rippy Gibney. Uh looks just like
Newsom's wife, and Ruby and Gavin used to drink a lot.
(14:57):
Ruby used to be married to Gavin's campaign manager. And
Ruby also used to work for Newsom in his office.
So of course Newsom as a friend who's the campaign manager.
The wife is working in Newsom's office, so why not
(15:18):
get really loaded and starts screwing her. This goes back
to two thousand and seven, and now Ruby is writing
a big story for Vanity Fair. Tell you all about it.
Coming up.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Can't find six Sporting Ports, Stimulating Talk Radio, John Cobelt Show.
Follow us on social media John coblt Radio at John
Cobelt Radio, and we're live on YouTube for at least
another twenty minutes or so, and then you could watch
the recorded YouTube later. I've on YouTube, subscribe, become a
member of YouTube dot com. Slash at John Cobelt Show.
Oh right, this story has been around for almost twenty
(16:08):
years and it is now it's now going to be something.
It's the story of Gavin Newsom's affair with one of
his one of his aides, Ruby Rippy Gibney. Blonde woman
looks very much like Jennifer Newsom. You know, some guys
(16:31):
have a type. You look at Jennifer Newsom in this
Ruby Ripney Gibney side by side. It's very close. And
what Newsom did the predator. Ruby had a drinking problem,
so Newsom went after her, and he also had a
(16:52):
drinking problem. Unfortunately, Ruby Rippy Gibney was married to Newsom's
campaign manager, Alex.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
He was He was Newsome's longtime political advisor as well
as his campaign manager back when he was the mayor
of San Francisco, and Alex one day discovered that the
mayor was having sex with his wife because his wife
had worked as Newsom's appointments secretary. So Gavin was making
(17:26):
appointments and you know, by all accounts, they were going out.
They were just getting loaded together and getting it on.
Torque confronted Newsom and then resigned, and Newsom had to
hold a press conference publicly apologizing and then described the
affair as a personal lapse of judgment. That must have
(17:48):
made Ruby feel good. You imagine you're you're messing around
with the mayor and you're risking you're risking your marriage,
and you're and your your public standing, and at the
end of it all, it's like, yeah, that was a
lapse in judgment.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
What was.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
God, there's some set at the time. I want to
make it clear that everything you've heard and read is true,
and I'm deeply sorry about that. Jennifer Knew some years later, though,
blamed Ruby I shouldn't say this, but there are two
sides to every story. If people did research into the scandal,
(18:30):
the woman is the culprit. This is misfeminism. This is
the woman who's taking millions of dollars from us Gavin
donors to make feminist films. Now, she wasn't married to
Gavin at the time. I don't know if he was
still married to Kimberly Guilfoyle or they were separated, or
(18:52):
I don't know. It's hard to keep up with this stuff.
But Gavin at first said he entered an alcohol rehabilitation
program that turned out to be a lie. Knew some
actually lied about going into alcohol re I know, isn't
it shocking. It's hard to believe. But when he ran
(19:13):
for governor in twenty eighteen, he said, uh, well, it
wasn't true. He never checked into rehab. He sought counseling
from the president of the Delancey Street Foundation, which I
guess is some kind of nonprofit thing, a woman named
Mimmy Silbert. So he got counseling from Mimi. But it
(19:36):
Mimi should I should I keep drinking? Mimi says, no,
maybe you ought to slow down a little. So he
stopped drinking for a period of time and then started
drinking again. No, there's no rehab. I just stopped. There
was no treatment. I stopped because I thought it was
a good thing to stop. But then he started again,
(19:59):
and he goes. Some people make mistakes in their lives,
and you work hard never to make them again because
you learn from them. I like to think I'm a
better person. No, you haven't stopped your lying, and I
think a lot of people have made mistakes. Anyway, I'm
telling you all this because Ruby Rippy Gibby, Ruby Rippy
Gibney is going to tell her story a tell all
(20:25):
article in Vanity Fair. But that's a good thing to
run for president on. Oh well, here's something interesting. It
looks like I do have a timeline here. Newsome was
dating Jennifer started dating Jennifer months before the affair with
(20:49):
Rippy Gibney, and then Jennifer brain blames Ruby. So happened
was cheating on Jennifer and then Jennifer blames Ruby. Now
(21:11):
eventually Jennifer apologized for blaming Ruby. And of course at
the time this wasn't the me too era, so no
fuss was made that. Hey, Newsom is Ruby's employer. Here,
Ruby was the scheduling secretary. That's not cool. And Ruby
(21:38):
isn't spoken public view very much. But she said, you know,
she never felt part of the me too movement. She said,
I was a subordinate, but I was a free thinking,
thirty three year old adult, married woman and mother struggling
with alcoholism is self destructive behavior. Nothing more self destructive
(21:59):
than jumping into bed naked with Gavin Newsom and then
having him refer to you as a lapse, a lapse
in judgment. But she's going to write, she's going to
write a story and I guess given account of what
it was like to be cheating with Gavin, such a snake,
(22:21):
such an oily, despicable snake. All right, more coming up
when we come back. Oh, this is about Woodland Hills.
I know you're going to be jumping in the car,
but you might want to listen to this. Okay, you
heard about this two billion dollar affordable housing project they're
going to build in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Yes, in my neck of the woods.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Oh yeah, yes, yeah, all of us neighbors are against it. Yeah,
I think there's some homeless people. It's going to be
shipped into that two billion dollar building if they ever
build it.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
And there's a report from Fox eleven Matthew SEEDORFF with
a quote from Karen Bass. Karen Bass has a has
a new theory. Last time she talked about meth users
in the street, it was about how, you know, we
have to give them teeth because the meth rots their
teeth out, and so we ought to pay for the
new teeth. Now she comes up with a reason why
people use meth, like it's necessary for them.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Can't buy AM six forty more stimulating talk radio John
Cobelt's show, and we're live on YouTube and you could
see the recording of our show in just a few minutes,
right at six o'clock. And the audio podcast is going
to be released just after six as well everything we
did today on the iHeart app. All right, I want
to play this before we go. Jeff's driving home and
(23:52):
Karen Bass is bringing to her town an affordable housing
project supposedly worth two billion dollars. Boy, does this sound
like a massive waste, massive boondoggle. Uh. And you'll hear
in this listen closely. Bass also has an interesting theory
on why the street vagrants use meth. Here's Fox eleven
(24:16):
Matthew Seedorf a high end unveiling.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
For one of the biggest affordable housing projects in LA history,
four glass towers rising as high as forty two stories
above Woodland Hills.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I'm extremely exciting.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Mayor Karen Bass speaking exclusively with Fox eleven, telling us
this project is moving through her executive Directive one, allowing
one hundred percent affordable housing projects to skip the typical
public hearing process, which was the beginning.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Of slashing as much wet tape as possible.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
The price tag around two billion dollars.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Where's that doing, Well, it's public private, but it's also
what they have raised.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
This project is not seeking any direct dollars from the city.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
A combination of tax example bonds, low income housing tax credit, investment,
private capital as well sky Fox above the future site
along Kenoga Avenue.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
We much needed housing to a population that needs it.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Almost thirty five hundred units are planned, mostly for low
income seniors. What percent of people living here are going
to be seniors?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Oh, I mean, I don't know the exact person.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
I know that by twenty thirty one million Angelinas will
be sixteen over. During the unveiling, the mayor also addressed
the homeless crisis and open drug use.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Uselee follow the street for a couple of weeks and
tell me that you're not using some to stay sane,
or use math so that you don't go to sleep
to protect yourself.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
After the speech, we asked the mayor to clarify. You
said that people are on the street using math for protection.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well, no, what I said is no.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
What I said is is that I know that people
have used meth to stay awake at night.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
So they don't fall asleep because they're worried about things.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Assault.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
That does not protection from the new towers. Stop. She's lying.
She said exactly that I even wrote it down. They
use meth so you don't go to sleep so you
can protect yourself. Listen again closely play cut number three.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Now the street for a couple of weeks, and tell
me that you're not using something to stay sane, or
use math so that you don't go to sleep to
protect yourself.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
So you don't go to sleep so you protect yourself.
That's what she said. So that's why they use meth,
And she says, you have to take something to stay sane.
The drugs make them insane. She is saying they take
the drugs to make themselves sane. She really believes this.
Whenever she goes and he does these events, she always
(26:53):
blurts out how she really feels. She won't do this
in a studio in front of a TV anchor or
a journalist, but when she goes, she just I guess,
loosens up and tells her truth. It's like when she
said that, well, people who take meth, they lose their teeth,
and that's why we have to have a program to
(27:13):
give them new teeth. Well that would be US taxpayers
paying for their new teeth after they wrote it out
from the meth. Now she's saying they're taking these drugs
to stay sane, when obviously it's the opposite, and they're
taking meth to protect themselves, to keep themselves awake. No,
it's because they're addicted. Meth is one of the most
(27:36):
addictive drugs out there. It's very difficult to get anybody
off meth. But that's what you have running the city.
In case you wonder why there's meth addicts screaming in
the night, and chasing you. All Right, we're done. Conway's

Let's get right into it here. Anne Marie Schubert is
coming on, former DA of Sacramento County, and she's now
the new president and CEO of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation,
and they're filing a lawsuit against the California Board of
Parole because the board has new regulations on letting murderers
(00:48):
out of prison. Is the easiest way to put it.
These are murderers who were sentenced to life without the
possibility of parole, and then it turns out they can
get parole. Uh and uh. Amory Schuberts here to explain it, Amrie,
how are you?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I'm good? Thank you so much for having me back on.
I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Oh yeah, this this makes my blood boil. All right,
tell me, tell me what what what this is about?
What is this new regulation, how is it going to
get murderers out early?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
So last fall the parole Board. Now keep in mind
this is you know, even months before the terrible decision
on David Funston, the child pedophile. They they propose these
regulations that would create a process and a pathway for
people serving el WOP and other long term sentences to
get out. And so what their system is is that
(01:45):
it would be let's do kind of a mini let's
let's identify the people we think we should do it,
and there's virtually no exclusions, meaning cop killers, baby killers,
serial killers, math murderers. You know, there was a big
case down in LA that my friend Michelle Hannessy did
a guy on a shooting spree and killed I think
five people and tried to shoot several others.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
He was sentenced to ALWOP, which is parole for people.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah sorry, life without parole. Yes. And so that's the
type of people that we're talking about. These are people
that when jury's convicted and judges sentenced is sentenced them.
The prosecutors turned to the family and said, don't ever worry,
he's never getting out of prison. And here we are
now because they clearly want to let these people out.
They want to create this pathway to allow that to happen. Now,
(02:32):
now the problem is is that, you know, life without parole.
For them to change this whole system, they'd have to
basically rewrite sentencing laws, and they want to get judges
to allow this to happen, or communation commutation from the governor.
So it's very disturbing. They did not do this through
the legislature. You know, they would never get it through
(02:54):
the legislature because bills have tried been tried like this
before and they have been killed in committee. And so
now they do this end around and go through a
bureaucratic agency to do this. So it's very disturbing on
many levels.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
All Right, I don't quite understand this. How are they
allowed to write a regulation to let inmates out when
they're supposed to serve life of that parole if the
legislature and the governor wouldn't approve it. I mean, something
like this seems like it would have to have the
legislature and the governor.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
So what their claim is going to be is, well,
we're not really going to let them out, We're going
to make a recommendation that they be let out. And
we're going to ask the judges that sentenced him or
the governor whoever that is, to commute it. So it
would create I mean, for these families who never anticipated
ever hating to hear about these cases again, they're going
(03:52):
to be not only going through a kind of a
mini parole hearing or quasi parole hearing, but then they'd
have to go back to court judges under you know,
years ago in nineteen ninety, California voters passed ballot measures
saying judges can't reduce or get rid of what we
call special circumstances. You can't. Life without parole is the
lowest sentence that they can get, and so they'd have to.
(04:13):
Let's take someone like Scott Peterson who kills his pregnant
wife and child. He gets first a death penalty, then
elwop life without parole. The only way that this would
work is that they'd have to make this recommendation and
then they'd have to go back to court and tell
the judge, well, we think he should get something less
than first, agreemer, we should you should give him something lesser,
(04:34):
even though the jury found him guilty of these things.
It's it's a tortuous process, both for victims and really
everybody else to get to the end result, which is
they want to let people out, including like I said,
cop killers, baby killers. It's really these are.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Now the worst. But he's said, these are the worst
of the worst. These are the ones who we're supposed
to get the death penalty because they're the worst of
the worst. Now the trying to create an exit ramp
to let them out early.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Absolutely, that's exactly what it's about. And it's you know,
I got a question today at this press conference. Well,
the Governor's office says, this is a really fair process,
and I'm like, if it was so fair, why didn't
you run through the legislature.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So the government's the Governor's in on this, of.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Course, Well, I mean the parle board acts that his
you know, I'm sure at his direction. So I would
imagine that would be the case.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Everybody on the parole board was nominated by Newsom and
renominated by him.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yes, one hundred percent. And so this is a really
big deal that we're talking about thousands of inmates by
their own numbers of boards of maybe six to seven
thousand inmates that would qualify. I mean, people like Scott
Peterson would almost be immediately eligible. There's people that have
killed four or five people that would be eligible. There's
(05:52):
one of our lead plaintiffs is the aunt of a
little girl named Sandra Cantu, who was kidnapped, assaulted horribly
as strangled to death and stuffed in a suitcase and
thrown in an irrigation canal. She plied to life without parole,
and now she has an opportunity to potentially get out.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Okay, so you're filing a lawsuit to stop this. Uh,
where where is it going to be heard? When is
it going to be heard?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Well, is it be filed in It was filed in
Sacramento today, it'll be assigned to a judicial officer and
so probably within the next few weeks we may know more,
but you know, it'll take a while, but our goal
is to stop it before they're implemented. They you know,
they are set to go into effect in October.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
And what's your legal argument, like, what what? What? What's
the mechanism to prove that they're overstepping It seems clear
from a common sense standpoint, But what are you going
to be saying in court?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
A couple of different things. The first one is the
Parole Board has the statutory legal authority to write regulations
related to parole. Okay, they're not entitled to parole. Hey,
they're trying to write regulations related to a different area
of law called resentencing. So that's one of our arguments.
It's far beyond their authority. The second one is they
(07:14):
don't have these sority to rewrite sentencing for life without parole.
There's a bunch of other things that different standards that
they're applying. There's also this very exciting thing called Administrative
Procedures Act where they if they don't effectively answer comments
during this process, then they can be thrown out. So
we have a lot of different things that we're arguing,
(07:35):
but we're very hopeful that we get a good outcome
here because I can't imagine this happening.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
This is like one of these worst case scenarios. Boy,
the pearl boards really filled with lunatics, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Well, there's definitely means to be accountability for sure.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, yeah, and they reflect newsome obviously. All right, Well, listen,
keep contact with us and let us know how this
thing progresses.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Are right, absolutely, thank you so much for having me on.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
All right, Amry Schubert, President and CEO of the Criminal
Justice Legal Foundation. Is that outrageous? There really is, these
ideological fanatics. Newsome appointed them all. He's one of these
people they want to let It's not hyperbole, it's not
an exaggeration. They want to let everybody out, including the
worst of the worst when it comes to murders. That's
(08:22):
in a nutshell with this, this whole reregulation of the
system is only people would pay attention. I cannot believe
there is more than a one percent constituency for this nonsense.
Maybe the prisoners and their families. That's about it.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yesterday I was telling you that two things which could
drive Paramount out of Los Angeles, out of California. Number
one is that slimy little dwarf Rob Bonta, the corrupt
Attorney General Newsome is mini me. I believe, I believe
(10:03):
Bonta lives inside Newsom's nether regions. He's filing a lawsuit
or joined an anti trust lawsuit because Paramount's buying Warner
Brothers and David Ellison is the head of Paramount and
he's really pissed off. And so other states are now
(10:26):
trying to woo Paramount to move to where they are.
The Tennessee Deputy Governor Stuart mcwherder has written a letter
urging Ellison, the CEO, to move the headquarters, and he goes,
we have low taxes. Companies that choose Tennessee find a
(10:51):
more favorable business climate. You're not gonna find. See. In
other words, the State's not going to sue you when
you want to merge with another company. Not only that,
it looks like Newsom really pulled a See. I don't
know if he made this big blunder or he did
(11:11):
this on purpose and was hoping to get away with it.
Part two is he signed a bill last year to
double the state's tax credits for Hollywood productions from three
hundred and thirty million to seven hundred and fifty million,
and somehow he ended up signing a bill which put
(11:35):
a cap on the tax credits. First he creates a
bill that doubles the tax credits, then he signed a
bill that puts a hard cap a low cap, so
the tax credits that Hollywood got last year are basically gone.
Nobody seems to have read the bill, according to the
(11:57):
California Post, not the legislators, not the governor. This is
this is how a stupid Newsome and this legislat legislator
crowd is. See in New Jersey, which is a high
tax state, they're offering four hundred and thirty million dollars
(12:17):
a year in tax incentives. So I told you. Netflix
has moved to moving to an old military base in
Monmouth County and setting up I think a dozen sound
stages there. And there are other companies that are off
to New Jersey, and New Jersey's not the only place.
New York, Georgia, Vancouver, the UK, Ireland. Some of them
(12:39):
have been doing this for decades, some of them doing
it recently. Jersey is a big threat, so you're supposed
to be competitive. And Hollywood production is down here forty
to fifty percent. And now Newsom takes away the tax
credits that he just passed a lot of hooplah with that.
He's doing a big victory lap. And the dumbasses in
(13:02):
the legislature past this thing, send it to Newsom's office.
I guess nobody on knew some staff Reddit or this
was done on purpose and they got caught, so he knew.
Some is desperate for money. He really busted the budget
on illegal alien healthcare, and he's scrambling hard to try
to find a little here and a little there. Say,
(13:25):
I don't believe they make mistakes. This stupid. They're stupid,
but that's not this bad. I think they did it
hoping they'd get away with it because they don't have
the money for this illegal alien health care. Nonsense. It's
so horrifically insulting to every every legal American family in
(13:48):
this state because they told you your health insurance is
going to go up four hundred dollars a year per
family to fund a legal alien health care. And I
bet you that's why the Hollywood tax credit was suddenly reversed.
And other states are looking at this and go woo,
this is a clown show. I mean, Jersey government is
(14:11):
just as high tax and democratic as Newsome, but they
want the business because business brings in more tax revenue
to spend on all the nonsense. Unbelievable. Everybody's shaking their
head at this. When we come back, Newsom's got another problem.
(14:32):
A woman that he had an adulterous affair with is
writing a story for Vanity Fair and she's gonna tell everything.
Her name is Ruby Rippy Gibney. Uh looks just like
Newsom's wife, and Ruby and Gavin used to drink a lot.
(14:57):
Ruby used to be married to Gavin's campaign manager. And
Ruby also used to work for Newsom in his office.
So of course Newsom as a friend who's the campaign manager.
The wife is working in Newsom's office, so why not
(15:18):
get really loaded and starts screwing her. This goes back
to two thousand and seven, and now Ruby is writing
a big story for Vanity Fair. Tell you all about it.
Coming up.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Can't find six Sporting Ports, Stimulating Talk Radio, John Cobelt Show.
Follow us on social media John coblt Radio at John
Cobelt Radio, and we're live on YouTube for at least
another twenty minutes or so, and then you could watch
the recorded YouTube later. I've on YouTube, subscribe, become a
member of YouTube dot com. Slash at John Cobelt Show.
Oh right, this story has been around for almost twenty
(16:08):
years and it is now it's now going to be something.
It's the story of Gavin Newsom's affair with one of
his one of his aides, Ruby Rippy Gibney. Blonde woman
looks very much like Jennifer Newsom. You know, some guys
(16:31):
have a type. You look at Jennifer Newsom in this
Ruby Ripney Gibney side by side. It's very close. And
what Newsom did the predator. Ruby had a drinking problem,
so Newsom went after her, and he also had a
(16:52):
drinking problem. Unfortunately, Ruby Rippy Gibney was married to Newsom's
campaign manager, Alex.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
He was He was Newsome's longtime political advisor as well
as his campaign manager back when he was the mayor
of San Francisco, and Alex one day discovered that the
mayor was having sex with his wife because his wife
had worked as Newsom's appointments secretary. So Gavin was making
(17:26):
appointments and you know, by all accounts, they were going out.
They were just getting loaded together and getting it on.
Torque confronted Newsom and then resigned, and Newsom had to
hold a press conference publicly apologizing and then described the
affair as a personal lapse of judgment. That must have
(17:48):
made Ruby feel good. You imagine you're you're messing around
with the mayor and you're risking you're risking your marriage,
and you're and your your public standing, and at the
end of it all, it's like, yeah, that was a
lapse in judgment.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
What was.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
God, there's some set at the time. I want to
make it clear that everything you've heard and read is true,
and I'm deeply sorry about that. Jennifer Knew some years later, though,
blamed Ruby I shouldn't say this, but there are two
sides to every story. If people did research into the scandal,
(18:30):
the woman is the culprit. This is misfeminism. This is
the woman who's taking millions of dollars from us Gavin
donors to make feminist films. Now, she wasn't married to
Gavin at the time. I don't know if he was
still married to Kimberly Guilfoyle or they were separated, or
(18:52):
I don't know. It's hard to keep up with this stuff.
But Gavin at first said he entered an alcohol rehabilitation
program that turned out to be a lie. Knew some
actually lied about going into alcohol re I know, isn't
it shocking. It's hard to believe. But when he ran
(19:13):
for governor in twenty eighteen, he said, uh, well, it
wasn't true. He never checked into rehab. He sought counseling
from the president of the Delancey Street Foundation, which I
guess is some kind of nonprofit thing, a woman named
Mimmy Silbert. So he got counseling from Mimi. But it
(19:36):
Mimi should I should I keep drinking? Mimi says, no,
maybe you ought to slow down a little. So he
stopped drinking for a period of time and then started
drinking again. No, there's no rehab. I just stopped. There
was no treatment. I stopped because I thought it was
a good thing to stop. But then he started again,
(19:59):
and he goes. Some people make mistakes in their lives,
and you work hard never to make them again because
you learn from them. I like to think I'm a
better person. No, you haven't stopped your lying, and I
think a lot of people have made mistakes. Anyway, I'm
telling you all this because Ruby Rippy Gibby, Ruby Rippy
Gibney is going to tell her story a tell all
(20:25):
article in Vanity Fair. But that's a good thing to
run for president on. Oh well, here's something interesting. It
looks like I do have a timeline here. Newsome was
dating Jennifer started dating Jennifer months before the affair with
(20:49):
Rippy Gibney, and then Jennifer brain blames Ruby. So happened
was cheating on Jennifer and then Jennifer blames Ruby. Now
(21:11):
eventually Jennifer apologized for blaming Ruby. And of course at
the time this wasn't the me too era, so no
fuss was made that. Hey, Newsom is Ruby's employer. Here,
Ruby was the scheduling secretary. That's not cool. And Ruby
(21:38):
isn't spoken public view very much. But she said, you know,
she never felt part of the me too movement. She said,
I was a subordinate, but I was a free thinking,
thirty three year old adult, married woman and mother struggling
with alcoholism is self destructive behavior. Nothing more self destructive
(21:59):
than jumping into bed naked with Gavin Newsom and then
having him refer to you as a lapse, a lapse
in judgment. But she's going to write, she's going to
write a story and I guess given account of what
it was like to be cheating with Gavin, such a snake,
(22:21):
such an oily, despicable snake. All right, more coming up
when we come back. Oh, this is about Woodland Hills.
I know you're going to be jumping in the car,
but you might want to listen to this. Okay, you
heard about this two billion dollar affordable housing project they're
going to build in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Yes, in my neck of the woods.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Oh yeah, yes, yeah, all of us neighbors are against it. Yeah,
I think there's some homeless people. It's going to be
shipped into that two billion dollar building if they ever
build it.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
And there's a report from Fox eleven Matthew SEEDORFF with
a quote from Karen Bass. Karen Bass has a has
a new theory. Last time she talked about meth users
in the street, it was about how, you know, we
have to give them teeth because the meth rots their
teeth out, and so we ought to pay for the
new teeth. Now she comes up with a reason why
people use meth, like it's necessary for them.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Can't buy AM six forty more stimulating talk radio John
Cobelt's show, and we're live on YouTube and you could
see the recording of our show in just a few minutes,
right at six o'clock. And the audio podcast is going
to be released just after six as well everything we
did today on the iHeart app. All right, I want
to play this before we go. Jeff's driving home and
(23:52):
Karen Bass is bringing to her town an affordable housing
project supposedly worth two billion dollars. Boy, does this sound
like a massive waste, massive boondoggle. Uh. And you'll hear
in this listen closely. Bass also has an interesting theory
on why the street vagrants use meth. Here's Fox eleven
(24:16):
Matthew Seedorf a high end unveiling.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
For one of the biggest affordable housing projects in LA history,
four glass towers rising as high as forty two stories
above Woodland Hills.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I'm extremely exciting.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Mayor Karen Bass speaking exclusively with Fox eleven, telling us
this project is moving through her executive Directive one, allowing
one hundred percent affordable housing projects to skip the typical
public hearing process, which was the beginning.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Of slashing as much wet tape as possible.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
The price tag around two billion dollars.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Where's that doing, Well, it's public private, but it's also
what they have raised.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
This project is not seeking any direct dollars from the city.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
A combination of tax example bonds, low income housing tax credit, investment,
private capital as well sky Fox above the future site
along Kenoga Avenue.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
We much needed housing to a population that needs it.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Almost thirty five hundred units are planned, mostly for low
income seniors. What percent of people living here are going
to be seniors?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Oh, I mean, I don't know the exact person.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
I know that by twenty thirty one million Angelinas will
be sixteen over. During the unveiling, the mayor also addressed
the homeless crisis and open drug use.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Uselee follow the street for a couple of weeks and
tell me that you're not using some to stay sane,
or use math so that you don't go to sleep
to protect yourself.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
After the speech, we asked the mayor to clarify. You
said that people are on the street using math for protection.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well, no, what I said is no.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
What I said is is that I know that people
have used meth to stay awake at night.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
So they don't fall asleep because they're worried about things.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Assault.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
That does not protection from the new towers. Stop. She's lying.
She said exactly that I even wrote it down. They
use meth so you don't go to sleep so you
can protect yourself. Listen again closely play cut number three.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Now the street for a couple of weeks, and tell
me that you're not using something to stay sane, or
use math so that you don't go to sleep to
protect yourself.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
So you don't go to sleep so you protect yourself.
That's what she said. So that's why they use meth,
And she says, you have to take something to stay sane.
The drugs make them insane. She is saying they take
the drugs to make themselves sane. She really believes this.
Whenever she goes and he does these events, she always
(26:53):
blurts out how she really feels. She won't do this
in a studio in front of a TV anchor or
a journalist, but when she goes, she just I guess,
loosens up and tells her truth. It's like when she
said that, well, people who take meth, they lose their teeth,
and that's why we have to have a program to
(27:13):
give them new teeth. Well that would be US taxpayers
paying for their new teeth after they wrote it out
from the meth. Now she's saying they're taking these drugs
to stay sane, when obviously it's the opposite, and they're
taking meth to protect themselves, to keep themselves awake. No,
it's because they're addicted. Meth is one of the most
(27:36):
addictive drugs out there. It's very difficult to get anybody
off meth. But that's what you have running the city.
In case you wonder why there's meth addicts screaming in
the night, and chasing you. All Right, we're done. Conway's
