Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're all working very hard
for you here. We are going to have next hour
at three o'clock the Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher, because
the California Supreme Court is going to hear as to
(00:23):
whether we can vote on something called the Taxpayer Protection Act,
which if it passes in November, if it gets on
the ballot and passes, then we will have the final
say on tax increases in the state. The legislature can
pass a tax and the governor can sign it, but
it will not become law unless the public votes on it.
(00:44):
And that's what this proposition would do in November. But
the Democrats are trying to stop it and they're going
to the Supreme Court to do so. To talk about this,
James Gallagher, the Assembly Republican Leader, because this Supreme Court
decision is going to be very important to see how
much we can get back at a Sacramento. All right,
you'd probably know about the Stormy Daniels situation by now.
(01:06):
From yesterday extensive sexual testimony about his or night with
Donald Trump, including images that none of us can wipe
out of our minds once you hear them. Well. Peter
Haralambos from ABC News, he's covering this case. Peter, how
are you hi?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
John? Thanks for having me?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
What's your day? After? Memory of what went on yesterday
in the courtroom with Stormy Daniels like it.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Was shocking and vivid. I think shocking because I don't
think I grasped the idea of Donald Trump sitting ten
twenty feet away from Stormy Daniels as she laid out
their sexual encounter in detail and vivid. In that Stormy
Daniel's testimony was detail rich. It was, if anything, it
had too much information, according to the judge ever seeing
(01:57):
the case, who said they were things that were better
are left unset from that testimony. But she laid out
the full picture, this entire affair that Trump denies, and
it provided the jury an idea of what story that
Trump was trying to kill out of the twenty sixteen election.
They heard the entire story from the moment they met
until their last phone call, and to have Trump in
(02:19):
the room for the entire thing was hard to comprehend,
I'd say.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And what was his demeanor throughout this? Because it's terribly
embarrassing at best for somebody. I mean, there are a
lot of people with embarrassing sexual affairs in their past
and they keep it to themselves and nobody knows to
have this laid out for the entire world. I mean,
what was he doing?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
You know, it depended on what time of the day
he was in the courtroom, right, So by the afternoon session,
Trump had his eyes closed for long periods of time. Honestly,
he might have been asleep for some portions of it.
But in the morning during the direct examination, when we
heard the explicit details of the testimony, Trump was livid.
We know from the transcript in the case that on
multiple occasions Trump was cursing audibly. An earshot of the jury,
(03:07):
he was shaking his head as Daniels was detailing the
sexual encounter. He was reminding his lawyers, poking them, prodding them,
reminding them please object. There were multiple objections from Trump's
defense attorneys in the mornings that were only started because
Trump kind of first reminded them, like, please stop this now.
So it was an embarrassing testimony for him, for sure,
(03:28):
and he certainly was not happy about it. The judge
even had to ask Trump's lawyers to have their clients
settle down after he cursed too many times in front
of the jury.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well, one thing I was confused by is the judge
one Marchon allowed the testimony and then at the end said, oh,
that was too much. Why did he allow it? And
then he complained that the Trump attorneys didn't object enough. Well,
how come they have to object to stop testimony that
(03:57):
Marchon later realized should never have been aired. I mean,
I didn't understand the judge's role in this.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
So I've spent a ton of time in the courtroom
with Judge Marcheon, and honestly, this might have been one
of the first strategic mess ups on his behalf. Here
where at the beginning of the day, Trump's lawyers remade
their request to stop this testimony, warning Mahon that this
testimony was going to be too much. Prosecutors responded by saying, look,
we're not going to ask her too much about the
sexual encounter. We're not going to get into the details.
(04:25):
But they very promptly got into the details. That's why
Marshon kind of falted them for not objecting enough, because
they allowed part of the testimony. But by the afternoon,
Mrshawn acknowledged that perhaps the degree of this testimony was
a mistake, telling the parties that Stormy Daniel's testimony had
included parts that were better left un said for this jury.
(04:46):
Though he didn't think it was so bad that it
merrit in a mistrial. He thought that any harm that
was done could be remedied over cross examination. But in
a world in which Trump loses this case a few
weeks from now right and he eventually appeals, I could
very likely see the transcript or Masterday playing a starring
role in the appeal, given the fact that the jury
(05:07):
got all this additional information about past bad acts that
have in the past been successfully used to overturn convictions,
like if you look at Harvey Weinstein's conviction here in
New York, introducing testimony about past bad acts that are
unrelated to the actual underlying criminal conduct, it can be
grounds for a successful appeal. So we might hear about
(05:27):
this again one day when we talked about an appeal
for this case of Trump loses, I was.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Going to say, by the end of the day, everybody
had forgotten that this was a case about Trump falsifying
business records, and whether that was that the purpose of
falsifying the business records was to influence the election. It
made it sound like it was a Harvey Weinstein style
case that some sort of sexual assault had happened, which
didn't happen and had nothing to do with the falsifying
(05:53):
of the records.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I mean. The one thing though, that Mersham pushed towards
with this, and he said this in a pre trial
ruling kind of reiterated yesterday, was in a way, despite
the fact that this testimony about the sexual act didn't
really relate to the underlying criminal contact, those there for
thirty four counts of false flying business records, they are
a vital context in his eyes for the jury, right
because we're talking about a hush money payment to stop
(06:17):
exactly the story that the jury heard yesterday from getting
to voters ahead of the twenty sixteen election. So in
Mashan's eyes, yes, the testimony went too far, but they
still needed to hear it because in order to kind
of understand the full case, they need to understand the
story that was getting quashed in the days before the
twenty sixteen election. So it kind of cuts both ways.
(06:37):
But it certainly seemed like an area where Mashan got frustrated,
Trump's lawyers got frustrated, and perhaps prosecutors stepped little too far.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
You know, And I wonder maybe this is too convoluted.
But while I'm sure there isn't a whole lot of
sympathy for Trump in among random New York City jurors,
it must have occurred at let's say, to the guys
on the jury, like, oh, I could see why he
would want to keep the story a secret from his family.
He's running for president, Well, of course he would do this.
(07:08):
He would cover it up almost like yeah, maybe it's illegal,
but it's certainly explainable, understandable.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And Trump's lawyers have emphasized that point that they argue
that the entire story hears about something that they say
is false, and that they say, we would be embarrassing
to Trump's family. And I mean, from the story we
heard yesterday didn't come off well for Donald Trump. We heard,
for example, that Trump mentioned his wife Malania during the
conversation with Stormy Daniels, saying that they sleep in separate bedrooms.
(07:36):
That he compared Stormy Daniels to his daughter, saying that
they were both beautiful and intelligent women. Who were underestimated.
You know, these were details that Trump's lawyers might use
in their closing statement to be like, look, you heard
it straight from the source. These were embarrassing details that
could have really heard in this man's family, and that's
why he covered up. And that's been a constant theme
of the case.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
It's so funny that Trump even now insists that none
of that happen. I mean, after hearing the story from
Stormy yesterday, it's clear it happened. And he's still going
to go around, maybe for the rest of his life
saying I don't know this woman.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And it might hurt his credibility too if he takes
the witness stand. Especially, we saw the contexts in Stormy
Daniel's phone, for Trump's assistance, for Trump's security, there was
evidence here to back up the fact that at least
this encounter in two thousand and six in California happened.
So we'll see if they continue. It seems like they
will continue to insist this story was made up, which
doesn't really help their case if the jury believes it happened.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Peter, thanks very much, great for Peter. Harralambus from ABC
News on the Trump Stormy Daniels trial. We've got The
New York Post has discovered just how much money the
prosecutor and the judge have donated to Joe Biden and
various Democratic campaigns, and the judge's daughter will tell you
(08:56):
all about that coming up. They chose sides a long
time I go.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
We just had a report from Peter Harralumbus all of
the way his name flows harral Ambus from ABC News,
and he actually was in the court yesterday and witnessed
up close what was happening between Stormy Daniels and the
attorneys and Trump yesterday. All we had was a printed summary,
but you could get a sense of what it was
(09:28):
like to feel all that energy in person. And the
prosecutor in the case who was going for all the
sex details is a woman named Susan Hoffinger. Susan Hoffinger
Joe Biden fan two hundred and fifty dollars she donated
to his campaign in February twenty twenty, and then gave
(09:50):
another two hundred and fifty dollars the following month. This
is alien to me. I have never I would never
contribute to a campaign simply because of the I have right.
I do not want to be involved with any politicians.
Somebody's got a good idea, we'll promote the good idea.
But as far as the politician's career, they're all bastards
(10:12):
and they're they're they're they're liars and thieves, most of them,
not all of them, most of them, but sometimes you
can't tell. Anyway, Hoffinger was so excited by Joe Biden,
of all people, five hundred bucks to the to the
Biden campaign. She was hired by Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan
DA in twenty twenty two and gave another nine hundred
(10:33):
dollars to a group called Act Blue. Excuse me for
the twenty twenty election cycle. What is act Blue? Well,
it's the fundraising platform that politicians and liberal organizations use
in the Democratic Party. Hoffinger, the Prosecutor, appears to have
exclusively donated to Democrats going back to two thousand and four,
(10:54):
with her first contributions going to John Kerry. What would
you ever give money to John carry It's worth a
billion dollars anyway. Then we go to the judge. Now
the judge's contributions are actually funny. The Joe Biden donated
(11:20):
to Joe Biden's campaign. What did I say?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
No, you said Joe Biden donated to Joe Biden's campaign.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Isn't that a Joe Biden moment right there?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
That is?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
That is you know, I think I had a parasite
that died in my brain. Oh no, yeah, like Robert Kennedy.
Oh I got to talk about that.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Oh that's so disgusting.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I know I thought of you right away, and I
saw a parasite diving.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
I can't even Yeah, all right, well we're.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Going to get there next. Anyway, it's Wan Mochon. The
judge donated to Joe Biden's campaign, you know how much?
Fifteen dollars, and then another ten dollars to a group
called Progressive Turnout Project, and another ten dollars to a
(12:00):
group called Stop Republicans. So and we're talking thirty five
dollars here. Now, the state of New York prohibits judges
from making contributions to candidates and political organizations, so these
are forbidden donations, but apparently they were viewed as trivial,
(12:23):
so nobody ever enforced the law on judge murchan, and
he did not recuse himself. However, his daughter ah different
story here. His daughter, Lauren Merchon is the president of
Authentic Campaigns. That is a progressive political consulting group. Top
(12:46):
clients include Adam Schiff, the line dirt bag here in Burbank,
who's running against Steve Garvey for Senate. So Richon has
actually the daughter has raised ninety three million dollars through
this group, and they're running off off the evil of
(13:08):
Donald Trump. That's that's that's how they fundraise. Fighting Trump
is the draw to bring in money. So his daughter
is raising an unbelievable fortune for Democratic candidates and of
course probably very well paid herself. So Trump is like
the best thing that could ever have happened to his
(13:28):
family in terms of raising money for the daughter's political
action group and also making one Rchon famous when we
come back, I guess since we've brought it up Robert Kennedy.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
And I was hungry too.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, this is why you know two things. He claims
over ten years ago suffering from brain fog bad memory,
and it was a parasite that crawled into his brain
and died after eating a part of his brain The
second thing thinks he ate too much fish and suffered
(14:05):
mercury poisoning, which also fogged his brain. So that's all ahead.
How could you not want to hear that?
Speaker 5 (14:12):
That will inspire you?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You see, I'm inspired, you are.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
You are an inspiring talk shops and I'm going to
be productive.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
We're on from one to four. You want the moistline
eight seven seven moist eighty six. There's no moistline unless
you call and complain, So that's your job. We can't
do everything here. Eight seven seven moist eighty six. We
have some vacancy. If that's too complicated to dial a number,
use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
(14:47):
now on to Robert Kennedy, JUNR. Running for president. He's
on the ballot in a small number of states, and
he says he's going to get on all fifty states
as an independent. He's not going with any any party.
He has now a running mate named Nicole Shanahan, who's
(15:09):
got a huge tech fortune, so presumably she's going to
be paying for this. I don't know how much money
he has his share of the Kennedy Empire. But anyway,
it's they're they're they're largely self financed, and uh, you
pay the fee and get enough signatures. I think that's
the way it works in a lot of states. You
got to get signatures on the ballot and then if
you get enough, uh, they'll they'll put your name there.
(15:33):
Uh So uh he he take he gets double digits
in some polls. Uh. And and he takes a chunk
away from both Trump and Biden. And there are people
who they aren't a living trying to figure out all
day how much of a chunk he's going to take
from either candidate. And it's impossible to know right now.
(15:54):
But Robert Kennedy, he's he's causing enough notice that news
organizations are delving into his background. And they found a
twenty twelve deposition The New York Times did and it
related to a divorce he was going through at the time,
and I think he was trying to downplay how much
(16:16):
money he has or how much money he makes, and
he was claiming that he has brain fog, cognitive problems,
short term and long term memory loss, and that was
diminishing the amount of money he can take in. So
I don't know if this was a divorce ploy or
this was for real, but doctors and then this is
(16:40):
all from Kennedy all right. Now in the timeline, it's
twenty ten, and around that time, his uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy,
got a brain tumor and died. And so Robert Kennedy
is trying to figure out what's causing his cognitive issues.
(17:02):
And he goes for a brain scan, a number of
brain scans, and they see a dark spot and the
doctors think it's a tumor, and he was scheduled for
a procedure at Duke University by the same surgeon who
had operated on his uncle. Now he's packing for the
trip and he got a call from a doctor at
(17:22):
New York Presbyterian Hospital who'd seen the brain scan, and
he had a different opinion. He thought Robert Kennedy had
a dead parasite in his head. The abnormality on the
scans was caused by a worm that got into my brain,
ate a portion of it and died. Do you think
(17:44):
you can feel that there's a.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
The worm dying or nibble nibbling on the brain.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Your brain, like if.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
You suddenly have a little problem communicating or understanding what's
going on. Is it? Is it the worm eight? Just
the right set of seals, and now you can't process
which you're I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
How would I know that? And I don't want to
know that you.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Don't have any any worms in your head?
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
So the doctor thought the abnormality on the scans was
not a tumor, but a worm that that ate a
portion of it and then died. Now he claims he
recovered from the memory loss and the fogginess and had
no after effects because I guess after the worm died
then there was no no further disruption. They talked to
(18:35):
other doctors to see is this real? Is this a thing?
And The Times talked to doctor Clinton White, professor of
infectious disease at the University of Texas, and he said, oh,
you're gonna like this. Microsquad Microscopic tapeworm eggs are sticky
and easily transferred from one person to the next, so
(18:57):
that once once hatched, the larvae came and travel in
the bloodstream and end up in all kinds of tissues.
Now Kennedy thinks he might have gotten it in South Asia,
where he was traveling. And you can get it from
undercooked pork.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Oh, I don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, because there's there's I guess there's worms and pigs.
And if you don't cook your pork like you can't
have medium raress. That has to be well done otherwise
you're eating the parasite eggs. That the only time I
got a really really weird sickness that wouldn't go away.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Did you have a worm?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
No? No, but it was some kind of some kind
of virus. I think I was the first person to
get COVID back in twenty sixteen. Yeah, because we went
to Thailand and Vietnam and Cambodia, and by the second
week in Thailand, I got this ferocious It wasn't a cold,
it was something worse than a cold, just a horrific cough.
(19:55):
I came back here and for weeks afterwards, I am
hacking up along every few minutes. I couldn't sleep at night.
On a few times I couldn't sleep. I almost broke
my ribs. I'm coughing so hard, I feel like my
ribs are going to burst into pieces. And then one
time I had a coughing fit while I was walking
(20:16):
from my bedroom to the.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Bathroom, and a worm came out of your mouth and.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I up chucked a worm, like like a whole family worms. No, well,
the thing is, it was such a violent cough. I
was holding my iPad and I ended up whacking myself
in the head with the iPad and knocking myself out
on the ground. Oh God, I either either it was
either that or when I fell I hit the wooden
chest that I was found lying next to watch I
(20:42):
found myself lying next to it. I woke up. I
was unconscious, I guess for a short time. I woke
up and there was blood all over the carpet.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Oh geez.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
And I crawled into the bathroom to get a towel
to soak up the blood. And I opened the cabinet,
which was at floor level, and the first thing I thought,
it's like, Oh, those are the new white towels. I
don't want to mess them up.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Well, your wife would kill you.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Well, she walks in and she sees blood spattered all
over the ground. It figured somebody got in the house
and murdered me. What happened? Runs into my son's room
and starts screaming. The dad got attacked and my son
just goes, oh okay and he rolls over. That's life
(21:29):
in my house. I was in the bathroom. I had
to go get get stitches.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Wow, Well did they ever determine what was wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
You know, there's another guy who works here at the
station and he had gone to Asia too, and he says,
you have one hundred day cough. And I looked this
up and it is a real thing. There is There
is different kinds of viruses on the other side of
the world.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
So didn't you get any vaccinations before you went?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, we did, but but there's no vaccination for these
kinds of odd ball mutantviruses. You just yeah, because you
don't have any natural antibodies because we don't live there.
I think people there maybe they don't get these.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
I know that's true.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
But he had gone and he got one, and I went,
I got one and look at Kennedy. He ended up
with worms in his head. Where did you go? Went
to Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand? And how long ago was this?
Twenty sixteen? Oh, this is pretty recent. Yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Those places are on my list.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Now I'm not going, Well, you're definitely not going anywhere
after your last couple of trips.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Well, I would you know what, at least I didn't
come back with a worm.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You promised that when you decign your next trip, you're
going to tell everybody, so the rest of us don't go,
I know, and it would be a service to the listeners.
Show Okay, all right, because nothing good happens. We coming
up after three o'clock. We're going to talk to James Gallagher.
The Supreme Court is looking as at a proposed initiative.
(22:59):
The News administration is trying to block this initiative, claiming
in advance it's some constitutional But if this got on
the ballot and passed, then we would have the final
final say on state tax increases. It could pass the
legislature and the governor could sign it. But it's no
go unless the public are agreed. And it's a fascinating case.
We had John Coopaul from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association
(23:20):
on the other day to talk about it. And you're
going to hear from James Gallagher, Republican Assembly leader.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Get ready. After three o'clock, we're going to talk to
the Assembly Republican leader James Gallagher. He is going to
talk about this proposition, which if the Supreme Court gives
the okay, we'll be on the ballot in November and
we could vote to have the final say on statewide
tax increases. Doesn't matter if the Legislature votes yes and
(23:54):
the Newsom signs that we get to have the final no. Now,
I thought, since we had such a fascinating discussion on
worms dying in Robert Kennedy's brain and he thinks he
got it, probably the doctor's thinking he might have eaten
undercooked pork in Asia and that's how he got the worm.
(24:16):
It's happened years ago, just by coincidence, this story out
of Oakland. There are no good stories coming out of
Oakland these days. A McDonald's in Oakland, the workers are
going on strike because they found a dead rat in
the kitchen. They are saying in a strike notice, we
(24:38):
are not trained to clean up rat feces and urine.
We do not have protective equipment. We demand that management
bring in professionals to deal with the unsanitary, unsafe environment.
We see rats in the kitchen every day. This McDonald's
is at thirteen thirty Jackson Street in Oakland, in case
you happened to be up there. We see rats at
(24:59):
the grill where we make the hamburgers, nibbling on pieces
of bacon or on hamburgers that are ready to be
sent to the customers.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
And I still send them to the customers.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
What do you think? We see rat droppings next to
the bags of chicken, next to the bags of chicken
nuggets and the Big Max, and in the papers we
wrap around the cheeseburgers. I've seen rat excrement in the
paper that we used to wrap food. Buy the nuggets
and buy the sauce packet containers at the drive through,
(25:32):
said one worker in the complaint. They even have video
showing a rats scurrying on top of the bacon station.
See bacon is good, I appreciate it, Eric does and rats?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
The workers get this? They found they.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Found rats lodged in a hole in a food warmer.
And get this, the workers have personally killed several rats
with brooms.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
This is not.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Well, you wouldn't be caught dead and McDonald's anyway, that's true.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
There's nothing really there for me to eat.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Uh, the management sent out exterminators, but the employees say
we still hear and see the rats every day come
the uh. The franchise owner, a guy named Joseph Wong, says,
it's very important to me, as a small business owner
in Oakland that my employees have a safe place to work.
When we became aware of the issue, we immediately contacted
pest control and continued to work with them. Well, if
(26:39):
you did that right away when you see the first rat,
but if you if you're at the point where they're
at the bacon station, they're in the food warmer, they're
in the in the in the paper wrapping, they're nibbling
on the hamburgers. I don't think he responded that quickly.
(27:03):
I think he got out of hand. And then of
course the dead rat in the kitchen.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You know, I really have to thank you for doing
these stories, because seriously, I was so hungry and I've
already I've already had enough calories, you know, before dinner,
and I was debating, and now I am so sick
to my stomach.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
I am not hungry any This.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Most disgusting half hour, This and Robert Kennedy's parasite. There's
actually a photo of one of the rats walking on
the like the tray area where they I think put
food to warm. If you want me to pass my photo, Larne.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
No, I don't like to see that.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, all right, Well, thirteen thirty Jackson Street in Oakland's
you've been warned. When we come back, Okay, we're gonna
get serious again. We're going to have James Gallagher on.
He's the Republican assemblyman and he is well, actually he's
the he's the Uh he's got a title in the
(28:03):
Republican Assembly, doesn't he. I know, I say he's a
Republican Assembly leader. Yeah, and he's going to talk to
us about the Supreme Court and what's the likelihood that
we'll get this proposition on the ballot in November that'll
give the people the final say on statewide tax increases,
not just the governor and the legislature, but we get
the final veto Deborah Mark live in the KFI twenty
(28:25):
for our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the John
Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the show live
on KFI AM six forty from one to four pm
every Monday through Friday, and of course anytime on demand
on the iHeartRadio app,
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're all working very hard
for you here. We are going to have next hour
at three o'clock the Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher, because
the California Supreme Court is going to hear as to
(00:23):
whether we can vote on something called the Taxpayer Protection Act,
which if it passes in November, if it gets on
the ballot and passes, then we will have the final
say on tax increases in the state. The legislature can
pass a tax and the governor can sign it, but
it will not become law unless the public votes on it.
(00:44):
And that's what this proposition would do in November. But
the Democrats are trying to stop it and they're going
to the Supreme Court to do so. To talk about this,
James Gallagher, the Assembly Republican Leader, because this Supreme Court
decision is going to be very important to see how
much we can get back at a Sacramento. All right,
you'd probably know about the Stormy Daniels situation by now.
(01:06):
From yesterday extensive sexual testimony about his or night with
Donald Trump, including images that none of us can wipe
out of our minds once you hear them. Well. Peter
Haralambos from ABC News, he's covering this case. Peter, how
are you hi?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
John? Thanks for having me?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
What's your day? After? Memory of what went on yesterday
in the courtroom with Stormy Daniels like it.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Was shocking and vivid. I think shocking because I don't
think I grasped the idea of Donald Trump sitting ten
twenty feet away from Stormy Daniels as she laid out
their sexual encounter in detail and vivid. In that Stormy
Daniel's testimony was detail rich. It was, if anything, it
had too much information, according to the judge ever seeing
(01:57):
the case, who said they were things that were better
are left unset from that testimony. But she laid out
the full picture, this entire affair that Trump denies, and
it provided the jury an idea of what story that
Trump was trying to kill out of the twenty sixteen election.
They heard the entire story from the moment they met
until their last phone call, and to have Trump in
(02:19):
the room for the entire thing was hard to comprehend,
I'd say.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And what was his demeanor throughout this? Because it's terribly
embarrassing at best for somebody. I mean, there are a
lot of people with embarrassing sexual affairs in their past
and they keep it to themselves and nobody knows to
have this laid out for the entire world. I mean,
what was he doing?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
You know, it depended on what time of the day
he was in the courtroom, right, So by the afternoon session,
Trump had his eyes closed for long periods of time. Honestly,
he might have been asleep for some portions of it.
But in the morning during the direct examination, when we
heard the explicit details of the testimony, Trump was livid.
We know from the transcript in the case that on
multiple occasions Trump was cursing audibly. An earshot of the jury,
(03:07):
he was shaking his head as Daniels was detailing the
sexual encounter. He was reminding his lawyers, poking them, prodding them,
reminding them please object. There were multiple objections from Trump's
defense attorneys in the mornings that were only started because
Trump kind of first reminded them, like, please stop this now.
So it was an embarrassing testimony for him, for sure,
(03:28):
and he certainly was not happy about it. The judge
even had to ask Trump's lawyers to have their clients
settle down after he cursed too many times in front
of the jury.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well, one thing I was confused by is the judge
one Marchon allowed the testimony and then at the end said, oh,
that was too much. Why did he allow it? And
then he complained that the Trump attorneys didn't object enough. Well,
how come they have to object to stop testimony that
(03:57):
Marchon later realized should never have been aired. I mean,
I didn't understand the judge's role in this.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
So I've spent a ton of time in the courtroom
with Judge Marcheon, and honestly, this might have been one
of the first strategic mess ups on his behalf. Here
where at the beginning of the day, Trump's lawyers remade
their request to stop this testimony, warning Mahon that this
testimony was going to be too much. Prosecutors responded by saying, look,
we're not going to ask her too much about the
sexual encounter. We're not going to get into the details.
(04:25):
But they very promptly got into the details. That's why
Marshon kind of falted them for not objecting enough, because
they allowed part of the testimony. But by the afternoon,
Mrshawn acknowledged that perhaps the degree of this testimony was
a mistake, telling the parties that Stormy Daniel's testimony had
included parts that were better left un said for this jury.
(04:46):
Though he didn't think it was so bad that it
merrit in a mistrial. He thought that any harm that
was done could be remedied over cross examination. But in
a world in which Trump loses this case a few
weeks from now right and he eventually appeals, I could
very likely see the transcript or Masterday playing a starring
role in the appeal, given the fact that the jury
(05:07):
got all this additional information about past bad acts that
have in the past been successfully used to overturn convictions,
like if you look at Harvey Weinstein's conviction here in
New York, introducing testimony about past bad acts that are
unrelated to the actual underlying criminal conduct, it can be
grounds for a successful appeal. So we might hear about
(05:27):
this again one day when we talked about an appeal
for this case of Trump loses, I was.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Going to say, by the end of the day, everybody
had forgotten that this was a case about Trump falsifying
business records, and whether that was that the purpose of
falsifying the business records was to influence the election. It
made it sound like it was a Harvey Weinstein style
case that some sort of sexual assault had happened, which
didn't happen and had nothing to do with the falsifying
(05:53):
of the records.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I mean. The one thing though, that Mersham pushed towards
with this, and he said this in a pre trial
ruling kind of reiterated yesterday, was in a way, despite
the fact that this testimony about the sexual act didn't
really relate to the underlying criminal contact, those there for
thirty four counts of false flying business records, they are
a vital context in his eyes for the jury, right
because we're talking about a hush money payment to stop
(06:17):
exactly the story that the jury heard yesterday from getting
to voters ahead of the twenty sixteen election. So in
Mashan's eyes, yes, the testimony went too far, but they
still needed to hear it because in order to kind
of understand the full case, they need to understand the
story that was getting quashed in the days before the
twenty sixteen election. So it kind of cuts both ways.
(06:37):
But it certainly seemed like an area where Mashan got frustrated,
Trump's lawyers got frustrated, and perhaps prosecutors stepped little too far.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
You know, And I wonder maybe this is too convoluted.
But while I'm sure there isn't a whole lot of
sympathy for Trump in among random New York City jurors,
it must have occurred at let's say, to the guys
on the jury, like, oh, I could see why he
would want to keep the story a secret from his family.
He's running for president, Well, of course he would do this.
(07:08):
He would cover it up almost like yeah, maybe it's illegal,
but it's certainly explainable, understandable.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And Trump's lawyers have emphasized that point that they argue
that the entire story hears about something that they say
is false, and that they say, we would be embarrassing
to Trump's family. And I mean, from the story we
heard yesterday didn't come off well for Donald Trump. We heard,
for example, that Trump mentioned his wife Malania during the
conversation with Stormy Daniels, saying that they sleep in separate bedrooms.
(07:36):
That he compared Stormy Daniels to his daughter, saying that
they were both beautiful and intelligent women. Who were underestimated.
You know, these were details that Trump's lawyers might use
in their closing statement to be like, look, you heard
it straight from the source. These were embarrassing details that
could have really heard in this man's family, and that's
why he covered up. And that's been a constant theme
of the case.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
It's so funny that Trump even now insists that none
of that happen. I mean, after hearing the story from
Stormy yesterday, it's clear it happened. And he's still going
to go around, maybe for the rest of his life
saying I don't know this woman.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And it might hurt his credibility too if he takes
the witness stand. Especially, we saw the contexts in Stormy
Daniel's phone, for Trump's assistance, for Trump's security, there was
evidence here to back up the fact that at least
this encounter in two thousand and six in California happened.
So we'll see if they continue. It seems like they
will continue to insist this story was made up, which
doesn't really help their case if the jury believes it happened.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Peter, thanks very much, great for Peter. Harralambus from ABC
News on the Trump Stormy Daniels trial. We've got The
New York Post has discovered just how much money the
prosecutor and the judge have donated to Joe Biden and
various Democratic campaigns, and the judge's daughter will tell you
(08:56):
all about that coming up. They chose sides a long
time I go.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
We just had a report from Peter Harralumbus all of
the way his name flows harral Ambus from ABC News,
and he actually was in the court yesterday and witnessed
up close what was happening between Stormy Daniels and the
attorneys and Trump yesterday. All we had was a printed summary,
but you could get a sense of what it was
(09:28):
like to feel all that energy in person. And the
prosecutor in the case who was going for all the
sex details is a woman named Susan Hoffinger. Susan Hoffinger
Joe Biden fan two hundred and fifty dollars she donated
to his campaign in February twenty twenty, and then gave
(09:50):
another two hundred and fifty dollars the following month. This
is alien to me. I have never I would never
contribute to a campaign simply because of the I have right.
I do not want to be involved with any politicians.
Somebody's got a good idea, we'll promote the good idea.
But as far as the politician's career, they're all bastards
(10:12):
and they're they're they're they're liars and thieves, most of them,
not all of them, most of them, but sometimes you
can't tell. Anyway, Hoffinger was so excited by Joe Biden,
of all people, five hundred bucks to the to the
Biden campaign. She was hired by Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan
DA in twenty twenty two and gave another nine hundred
(10:33):
dollars to a group called Act Blue. Excuse me for
the twenty twenty election cycle. What is act Blue? Well,
it's the fundraising platform that politicians and liberal organizations use
in the Democratic Party. Hoffinger, the Prosecutor, appears to have
exclusively donated to Democrats going back to two thousand and four,
(10:54):
with her first contributions going to John Kerry. What would
you ever give money to John carry It's worth a
billion dollars anyway. Then we go to the judge. Now
the judge's contributions are actually funny. The Joe Biden donated
(11:20):
to Joe Biden's campaign. What did I say?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
No, you said Joe Biden donated to Joe Biden's campaign.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Isn't that a Joe Biden moment right there?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
That is?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
That is you know, I think I had a parasite
that died in my brain. Oh no, yeah, like Robert Kennedy.
Oh I got to talk about that.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Oh that's so disgusting.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I know I thought of you right away, and I
saw a parasite diving.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
I can't even Yeah, all right, well we're.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Going to get there next. Anyway, it's Wan Mochon. The
judge donated to Joe Biden's campaign, you know how much?
Fifteen dollars, and then another ten dollars to a group
called Progressive Turnout Project, and another ten dollars to a
(12:00):
group called Stop Republicans. So and we're talking thirty five
dollars here. Now, the state of New York prohibits judges
from making contributions to candidates and political organizations, so these
are forbidden donations, but apparently they were viewed as trivial,
(12:23):
so nobody ever enforced the law on judge murchan, and
he did not recuse himself. However, his daughter ah different
story here. His daughter, Lauren Merchon is the president of
Authentic Campaigns. That is a progressive political consulting group. Top
(12:46):
clients include Adam Schiff, the line dirt bag here in Burbank,
who's running against Steve Garvey for Senate. So Richon has
actually the daughter has raised ninety three million dollars through
this group, and they're running off off the evil of
(13:08):
Donald Trump. That's that's that's how they fundraise. Fighting Trump
is the draw to bring in money. So his daughter
is raising an unbelievable fortune for Democratic candidates and of
course probably very well paid herself. So Trump is like
the best thing that could ever have happened to his
(13:28):
family in terms of raising money for the daughter's political
action group and also making one Rchon famous when we
come back, I guess since we've brought it up Robert Kennedy.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
And I was hungry too.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, this is why you know two things. He claims
over ten years ago suffering from brain fog bad memory,
and it was a parasite that crawled into his brain
and died after eating a part of his brain The
second thing thinks he ate too much fish and suffered
(14:05):
mercury poisoning, which also fogged his brain. So that's all ahead.
How could you not want to hear that?
Speaker 5 (14:12):
That will inspire you?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You see, I'm inspired, you are.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
You are an inspiring talk shops and I'm going to
be productive.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
We're on from one to four. You want the moistline
eight seven seven moist eighty six. There's no moistline unless
you call and complain, So that's your job. We can't
do everything here. Eight seven seven moist eighty six. We
have some vacancy. If that's too complicated to dial a number,
use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
(14:47):
now on to Robert Kennedy, JUNR. Running for president. He's
on the ballot in a small number of states, and
he says he's going to get on all fifty states
as an independent. He's not going with any any party.
He has now a running mate named Nicole Shanahan, who's
(15:09):
got a huge tech fortune, so presumably she's going to
be paying for this. I don't know how much money
he has his share of the Kennedy Empire. But anyway,
it's they're they're they're largely self financed, and uh, you
pay the fee and get enough signatures. I think that's
the way it works in a lot of states. You
got to get signatures on the ballot and then if
you get enough, uh, they'll they'll put your name there.
(15:33):
Uh So uh he he take he gets double digits
in some polls. Uh. And and he takes a chunk
away from both Trump and Biden. And there are people
who they aren't a living trying to figure out all
day how much of a chunk he's going to take
from either candidate. And it's impossible to know right now.
(15:54):
But Robert Kennedy, he's he's causing enough notice that news
organizations are delving into his background. And they found a
twenty twelve deposition The New York Times did and it
related to a divorce he was going through at the time,
and I think he was trying to downplay how much
(16:16):
money he has or how much money he makes, and
he was claiming that he has brain fog, cognitive problems,
short term and long term memory loss, and that was
diminishing the amount of money he can take in. So
I don't know if this was a divorce ploy or
this was for real, but doctors and then this is
(16:40):
all from Kennedy all right. Now in the timeline, it's
twenty ten, and around that time, his uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy,
got a brain tumor and died. And so Robert Kennedy
is trying to figure out what's causing his cognitive issues.
(17:02):
And he goes for a brain scan, a number of
brain scans, and they see a dark spot and the
doctors think it's a tumor, and he was scheduled for
a procedure at Duke University by the same surgeon who
had operated on his uncle. Now he's packing for the
trip and he got a call from a doctor at
(17:22):
New York Presbyterian Hospital who'd seen the brain scan, and
he had a different opinion. He thought Robert Kennedy had
a dead parasite in his head. The abnormality on the
scans was caused by a worm that got into my brain,
ate a portion of it and died. Do you think
(17:44):
you can feel that there's a.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
The worm dying or nibble nibbling on the brain.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Your brain, like if.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
You suddenly have a little problem communicating or understanding what's
going on. Is it? Is it the worm eight? Just
the right set of seals, and now you can't process
which you're I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
How would I know that? And I don't want to
know that you.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Don't have any any worms in your head?
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
So the doctor thought the abnormality on the scans was
not a tumor, but a worm that that ate a
portion of it and then died. Now he claims he
recovered from the memory loss and the fogginess and had
no after effects because I guess after the worm died
then there was no no further disruption. They talked to
(18:35):
other doctors to see is this real? Is this a thing?
And The Times talked to doctor Clinton White, professor of
infectious disease at the University of Texas, and he said, oh,
you're gonna like this. Microsquad Microscopic tapeworm eggs are sticky
and easily transferred from one person to the next, so
(18:57):
that once once hatched, the larvae came and travel in
the bloodstream and end up in all kinds of tissues.
Now Kennedy thinks he might have gotten it in South Asia,
where he was traveling. And you can get it from
undercooked pork.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Oh, I don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, because there's there's I guess there's worms and pigs.
And if you don't cook your pork like you can't
have medium raress. That has to be well done otherwise
you're eating the parasite eggs. That the only time I
got a really really weird sickness that wouldn't go away.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Did you have a worm?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
No? No, but it was some kind of some kind
of virus. I think I was the first person to
get COVID back in twenty sixteen. Yeah, because we went
to Thailand and Vietnam and Cambodia, and by the second
week in Thailand, I got this ferocious It wasn't a cold,
it was something worse than a cold, just a horrific cough.
(19:55):
I came back here and for weeks afterwards, I am
hacking up along every few minutes. I couldn't sleep at night.
On a few times I couldn't sleep. I almost broke
my ribs. I'm coughing so hard, I feel like my
ribs are going to burst into pieces. And then one
time I had a coughing fit while I was walking
(20:16):
from my bedroom to the.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Bathroom, and a worm came out of your mouth and.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I up chucked a worm, like like a whole family worms. No, well,
the thing is, it was such a violent cough. I
was holding my iPad and I ended up whacking myself
in the head with the iPad and knocking myself out
on the ground. Oh God, I either either it was
either that or when I fell I hit the wooden
chest that I was found lying next to watch I
(20:42):
found myself lying next to it. I woke up. I
was unconscious, I guess for a short time. I woke
up and there was blood all over the carpet.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Oh geez.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
And I crawled into the bathroom to get a towel
to soak up the blood. And I opened the cabinet,
which was at floor level, and the first thing I thought,
it's like, Oh, those are the new white towels. I
don't want to mess them up.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Well, your wife would kill you.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Well, she walks in and she sees blood spattered all
over the ground. It figured somebody got in the house
and murdered me. What happened? Runs into my son's room
and starts screaming. The dad got attacked and my son
just goes, oh okay and he rolls over. That's life
(21:29):
in my house. I was in the bathroom. I had
to go get get stitches.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Wow, Well did they ever determine what was wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
You know, there's another guy who works here at the
station and he had gone to Asia too, and he says,
you have one hundred day cough. And I looked this
up and it is a real thing. There is There
is different kinds of viruses on the other side of
the world.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
So didn't you get any vaccinations before you went?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, we did, but but there's no vaccination for these
kinds of odd ball mutantviruses. You just yeah, because you
don't have any natural antibodies because we don't live there.
I think people there maybe they don't get these.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
I know that's true.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
But he had gone and he got one, and I went,
I got one and look at Kennedy. He ended up
with worms in his head. Where did you go? Went
to Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand? And how long ago was this?
Twenty sixteen? Oh, this is pretty recent. Yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Those places are on my list.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Now I'm not going, Well, you're definitely not going anywhere
after your last couple of trips.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Well, I would you know what, at least I didn't
come back with a worm.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You promised that when you decign your next trip, you're
going to tell everybody, so the rest of us don't go,
I know, and it would be a service to the listeners.
Show Okay, all right, because nothing good happens. We coming
up after three o'clock. We're going to talk to James Gallagher.
The Supreme Court is looking as at a proposed initiative.
(22:59):
The News administration is trying to block this initiative, claiming
in advance it's some constitutional But if this got on
the ballot and passed, then we would have the final
final say on state tax increases. It could pass the
legislature and the governor could sign it. But it's no
go unless the public are agreed. And it's a fascinating case.
We had John Coopaul from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association
(23:20):
on the other day to talk about it. And you're
going to hear from James Gallagher, Republican Assembly leader.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Get ready. After three o'clock, we're going to talk to
the Assembly Republican leader James Gallagher. He is going to
talk about this proposition, which if the Supreme Court gives
the okay, we'll be on the ballot in November and
we could vote to have the final say on statewide
tax increases. Doesn't matter if the Legislature votes yes and
(23:54):
the Newsom signs that we get to have the final no. Now,
I thought, since we had such a fascinating discussion on
worms dying in Robert Kennedy's brain and he thinks he
got it, probably the doctor's thinking he might have eaten
undercooked pork in Asia and that's how he got the worm.
(24:16):
It's happened years ago, just by coincidence, this story out
of Oakland. There are no good stories coming out of
Oakland these days. A McDonald's in Oakland, the workers are
going on strike because they found a dead rat in
the kitchen. They are saying in a strike notice, we
(24:38):
are not trained to clean up rat feces and urine.
We do not have protective equipment. We demand that management
bring in professionals to deal with the unsanitary, unsafe environment.
We see rats in the kitchen every day. This McDonald's
is at thirteen thirty Jackson Street in Oakland, in case
you happened to be up there. We see rats at
(24:59):
the grill where we make the hamburgers, nibbling on pieces
of bacon or on hamburgers that are ready to be
sent to the customers.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
And I still send them to the customers.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
What do you think? We see rat droppings next to
the bags of chicken, next to the bags of chicken
nuggets and the Big Max, and in the papers we
wrap around the cheeseburgers. I've seen rat excrement in the
paper that we used to wrap food. Buy the nuggets
and buy the sauce packet containers at the drive through,
(25:32):
said one worker in the complaint. They even have video
showing a rats scurrying on top of the bacon station.
See bacon is good, I appreciate it, Eric does and rats?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
The workers get this? They found they.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Found rats lodged in a hole in a food warmer.
And get this, the workers have personally killed several rats
with brooms.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
This is not.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Well, you wouldn't be caught dead and McDonald's anyway, that's true.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
There's nothing really there for me to eat.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Uh, the management sent out exterminators, but the employees say
we still hear and see the rats every day come
the uh. The franchise owner, a guy named Joseph Wong, says,
it's very important to me, as a small business owner
in Oakland that my employees have a safe place to work.
When we became aware of the issue, we immediately contacted
pest control and continued to work with them. Well, if
(26:39):
you did that right away when you see the first rat,
but if you if you're at the point where they're
at the bacon station, they're in the food warmer, they're
in the in the in the paper wrapping, they're nibbling
on the hamburgers. I don't think he responded that quickly.
(27:03):
I think he got out of hand. And then of
course the dead rat in the kitchen.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You know, I really have to thank you for doing
these stories, because seriously, I was so hungry and I've
already I've already had enough calories, you know, before dinner,
and I was debating, and now I am so sick
