Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on from one until
four and then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand.
That's the podcast version of the radio show. Anything that
you missed. We have Mark Arragos coming on now. Mark
is representing Hutter Biden in a lawsuit against Fox News Channel,
(00:25):
saying that Fox has defamed Hunter Biden, painted him in
a false light, and aired revenge porn, violated revenge porn
laws by using Well, we'll find out exactly what that
is about. Let's get Mark Arragos on.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
How are you, by the way, is this the first
time that you've flown solo with me in the Post
John and Canada era?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I think so, yes, first time you had a big
enough case.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I was gonna say it apparently I'm plumbing at ladies.
Now I'm back on the airway. Yeah, I was going
to say, apparently business was slower. You haven't been slamming
me in abstentious so I welcome and it's a beautiful
day in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Explain how anybody could defame Hunter Biden. How is that possible?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well, The interesting part of this is that what spurred
this was a preservation letter that my partner wrote to
Fox News I don't know, maybe a week and a
half ago and specifically outlined the mock trial that Fox
(01:41):
Nation did and the publication of the photos of Hunter Biden.
So the revenge point is what leads on this, and
the preservation letter led with that. The defamation has been
what people kind of since this got out this morning
(02:02):
talking about, but more properly, it's revenge point. It fits
right within the statute.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
By the way, I didn't see the mock trial they
did on Fox Nation. I don't have a subscription, So
if you could explain to me what that program was
about and what was the use of revenge born, what
was the specific video, the.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Use of the pictures that were the providence that are
not established? And when I say that, I mean, you know,
you've heard a lot of people talk about the laptop
back and forth, and I will for your listeners with
that whole kind of episode, but I will tell you
that what they did was they had a supposed simulation
(02:44):
of a trial that involved Hunter Biden and the jury
and supposed evidence, and the evidence included these pictures, which
are by anybody's definition private, were never meant to be publicized.
And by the way, we've got it on fairly good
authority that not only were they exploited for commercial purposes,
(03:08):
but if you take a look at the number of
times that the entities, the Fox related entities have invoked
Jo Biden and the pictures and things of that nature,
it defies almost any kind of rational belief. The number
of times, I think it's an excess of a thousand.
(03:29):
And they monetize one of the reasons they were doing
it wasn't because they were so fascinated with Hunter Bidens,
because they were getting clicks for it. So from just
a purely economic.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I see that I have seen photos and very short
clips many many times over the last few years coming
from the laptop. So something that is so widely available,
what makes this different? I mean, certainly there has been.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Just because it's One of the reasons is it's widely
available is because it's been so widely publicized and basically
ground zero for it has been the Fox and the
Fox affiliated papers, whether it's New York Post and Fox Nation,
which is their streaming service. So that's where that's where
it comes from. That's why you've seen it almost incessantly.
(04:21):
I mean, if you talk anecdotally with people, they say
the same, exactly what you just said. And by the way,
you can't just do that, You can't. You can't take
somebody's photos and use it for your own commercial exploitation.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Well, how does something get distributed for years and years
without tripping a lawsuit immediately? You know, most people don't
understand how this type of law works if they've seen
these pictures now going on what since since probably the
twenty twenty election, right, that whole laptop story goes back
(04:57):
to twenty twenty. Right, So you see these photos in
case over a four year period and there's been no
legal case. Was there something about what Fox Nation did
in this mock trial that was different from all the
other photo and video presentations.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, this was a full throated, if you will, commercial
exploitation on the streaming service, which is what if you
take off kind of the elements of the revenge porn
and the commercial exploitation, this is it. By the way,
(05:32):
the revenge porn law in New York is a fairly
recent vintage as well, And there's also California has one,
but it's it's a little bit more robust in its application,
and it predates it at in New York at least.
This is something that does dropped fairly recently. I don't
(05:53):
have in front of me, But that combined with I'll
give you the other kind of factor that kind of
came into this. You take a look at recently. You've
probably reported on it, although I hadn't listened on it,
But the indictment of Smirnoff, who was acting as an
FBI informant. Once that happened, that unleashed, if you will,
(06:16):
a whole host of pieces of information.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Let me talk about that, because we haven't discussed this
on the air. So there was an FBI informant named
Alexander Smirnoff, and he had floated allegations of bribery against
Hunter Biden. Correct, Fox News hassellar bribery right, And these
allegations are false.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yes, the allegations are not only false, he was indicted
for it, which is shocking to me because look, I've
been doing this for forty years and anybody who does
any kind of federal criminal work will tell you that
unless they've got a wiretap or an informant slash snitch.
The FEDS don't bring a case, and the idea of
(07:03):
the FEDS indicting one of their snitches slash informancy is
virtually unheard of. They did in this case because they
were literally played, and they realized that the government realized
that they were played on this. It's one of the reasons.
And I don't want to get into the politics of
it because that's way above my pay grade. But you
(07:25):
seem that the Biden impeachment inquiry that was opened by
the House has has basically fizzled out because all those
roads led through this smeared off allegation that was much
baluehood at the time and now has been it appears
to be demonstrably disproved.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And Fox News had been pushing this smearnoff story about
the the Hunter Biden bribery.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Fox News not only had been pushing if Fox News,
one of the things that we came up with during
our instigation was intimately involved in the kind of the
orchestrating of this information in the Sacho chamber that they existed.
So's it's really been quite an eye opening experience. I mean,
(08:13):
I've always understood politics to be rough and tumbleist. I'm
sure you have, but this took it to a new level.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Do you have a favorable environment for this? After Fox
had to settle that Dominion voting systems lawsuit and they
had to pay out seven hundred and eighty seven million dollars,
has that made it easier for you to bring this
and have a positive settlement?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Well, I think that if you take Dominion and what
ended up happening there through the discovery process, what was revealed.
That's one of the reasons that we decided to first
start with a preservation letter so that nothing got destroyed
because at least watching from the cheap seats during the
dominion lawsuit, discovery ended up sinking the fire defense there.
(09:01):
Then you've got smart Matic, which is that they're in
the cross on Arizona that has not been settled yet,
and now they've got this, so he's got a more
favorable environment. I think. I think clearly the discovery that
came out and the the kind of participation, the conspiracy
(09:22):
of both contributors, hosts and others, is what has sparked this.
Now at this time when you have the smart Off.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Indictment, so you're you're asking for Sean Hannity, Jesse Waters,
Maria Bartiromo to correct and retract things that they said
or stories that they.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Provided, correct, correct, And I'm sure Jesse and Sean will
do that bunch of things.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
It depends what it's going to cost him. I don't
understand that word.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
You know, I have no doubt that Sean will do
the right thing.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
So your suit says, the bribery allegations were unverified, but
Fox kept pushing them as highly credible.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Right, And by the way, take a look at how
many times that they publicized Hunter Biden bribery blah blah blah,
the number of times that Hunter was invoked. And then
when Smirnov was indicted, it was as if a giant
corporate damp towel was wrapped around the Fox enterprise. They
(10:29):
became almost almost evaporated.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, you know, I never I've never gotten into that
that Fox News conspiracy pushing. And we didn't spend one
day on the election being stolen. I just thought the
whole story was observed from the first moment and nobody
had ever had evidence about anything. And I'm very, very
skeptical of all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, it's by the way, the problem with all this stuff.
And I know that you know that my friends on
the other side of the spectrum have always kind of
poo pooed the Russian connection. But if you take a
look at smear enough, if you take a look at
what some of these others who formerly were in the
(11:15):
inner circle say, there is a disinformation campaign that does fit.
We're aligned closely with what the disinformation blueprint was, and
that does seem to be fed by Russian all.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Right, Mark, good talking with you, Thanks for coming on.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Always good to talk to you too.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Thank you, Mark Garago. And he's behind a lawsuit for
Hunter Biden for Fox News airing revenge porn from Hunter
Biden's computer and also pushing a bribery charge from a
FBI agent who has since been indicted because the bribery
charge was false about Biden. And see where that goes.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That emergency slide that fell off a Delta flight last week? Yeah,
on Friday, did you see it washed up?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Well, it was leaving JFK headed here to Los Angeles
and the emergency slide fell off the Delta flight and
the crew heard a vibration, and so they turned the
flight around to JFK about eight thirty five. A couple
(12:37):
of days go by, and then there's an attorney who
has an ocean front home in Belle Harbor, Queens, faces
the Atlantic Ocean. His name is Jake Bissell Lynsk. He
looks outside and trapped on the rocks within a few
feet of his front yard was the emergency slide.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Now slide it was.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
It's a Boeing seven sixty seven. And here is the twist.
Jake Bisell Link. Jake Besell Lynsk is an attorney whose
firm filed a lawsuit against Boeing after the Alaska Air
door blowout. So because Boeing decided to drop a slide,
(13:24):
try to drop a slide on his head is crazy.
He went out to take pictures of it. Was all deflated, intact,
tangled on the rocks. I didn't want to touch it,
but I got it close enough to look at it.
And our case is all about safety issues at Boeing,
and this slide is literally right in front of my
house around five o'clock. Well, at first, his neighbor calls
(13:49):
an FAA hotline and they're closed on Sunday. Is is
the FAA. I'd like to record a plane has just
crashed to my front lawn. I'm sorry. Business hours are
eight am to five pm Monday through Friday. But a
few hours later a crew of Delta workers arrived and
(14:09):
they fished the shoot out of the water and threw
it in the back of a pickup. And besel Lynsk
is a partner at the law firm Labaton Keller Sucirau,
and they sued Bowing, alleging the company made false and
misleading statements about safety following the Alaska air blowout. Wow,
(14:29):
but that's not all. We have another United flight from
Sacramento to Denver diverted to San Francisco on Sunday. Mechanical
issues on the plane about an hour after take off
had left Sacramento. They forced it to land in San Francisco.
No details on what the mechanical issue was. Had one
(14:50):
hundred and sixty four people and six crew members who
was going to Denver and there is now remember we
attract this there was more than a There's been a
dozen safety incidents on United flights, somehow involving San Francisco. Yes,
either lifting off supposed to arrive there or it's used
as an emergency emergency.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
And I'd like to mention I haven't been to San
Francisco in many years, so you can't blame.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Me choose to live up there.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
I lived in the East Bay.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I think you left a permanent, permanent impact. All right,
when we come back, we're going to talk to Chris
Adler if she's okay. She's covering the protests at EUCLA
and when she was on with Debor's News at two o'clock,
there was a bit of a ruckus right in front
of her. We'll see what that was about.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Next.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
We're on from one until four after four o'clock. John
Cobelts Show on demand on the iHeart app. Moistline is
on Friday eight seven seven Moist eighty six, eight seven
seven Moist eighty six. So let's get going and start venting.
Maybe you've got something to say about at least Toddler
protesters who are screaming and chanting in rhymes and banging
(16:11):
their stupid drums. All these pro terrorist protesters. They've had
another round at UCLA and Chris Adler from KFI new
this was on on Devor's News at two o'clock and
you started talking about a taser. I thought, maybe you'd
gotten zapped.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
You know why that would be the highlight of my day, John,
I think, But you know, I know I have to
apologize the debra because I was in the middle of
my life hit and I'm just seeing this crowd race
over to where the fences that's blocking about fifty loy hitters.
More than fifty tents popped up, but there's this barricade
and there's security blocking the defense, so people can't get in,
(16:51):
media can't get and you can't get in unless you're
a student. But as I'm on the light hit, I'm
looking over and I just hear people and I'm getting
distracted her. I see a scuffle and people are fighting,
and then I hear a taser what I thought was
a taser at the time, and I was like, oh
my gosh, somebody's getting caved over there. So, you know,
then we ended up speaking with the guy that got
into a fight with this pro Palestinian woman. She was
(17:13):
wearing a cafia. She came in from the street he said,
not from the camp itself.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
John.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
So she came in from the street, walked over, grabbed
the sign of a pro I'm sorry of an Israeli
hostage that was up on the fence. She took it
down and started ripping at the guy tried to take
that sign back. She says, that's when she grabbed him
by the neck, tried to strangle him with his hat cord,
(17:39):
and then she pulled out a taser and that's when
we heard that taser. He said. She tried to pull
out a taser, tried to chase him. Someone tried to
come in and intervene and stop it, and she she
aimed the haser at that person, and then she was
escorted off the campus. And as she was walking off
the campus, she said something like look me up, I'm Lily,
blah blah blah, and then she grabbed her breast, both
(18:01):
of them, seized them and just kind of shook them
at everybody, and we were just like, what.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I know that an assault with a deadly weapon there,
what's that going to be the charge?
Speaker 6 (18:16):
He grabbed them and just was like shaking them at
people like look me up. And she then she walked
off the campus. And after that, just shortly after that,
there was marchers pro Palestinian marchers marching across the campus
at dacent to the street here. But fortunately it didn't
seem nobody got there was no contact with that taser.
(18:38):
She she left the campus. But I talked to the guy.
He would not confirm whether he was Jewish or not.
He said he was a protest observer and he just
didn't like what she was doing. And so, you know,
he went over to take that client back.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
John a protest observer. Is that a paid job or
is this a little side hobby? I don't understand. Is
nothing better to do?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
I know, well, I said, you know, can we say
are you Jewish? Can we say you're Jewish? He goes,
I don't think that that's important. I think what's important
is that one side was violent, one side was not.
So you know, and I heard that taser. You know,
I've heard that what sounded like the taser as I
was live and I was like, oh wow, you know,
as it was unfolding.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Well and any other skirmish is going on, I mean,
this is this is shaking all the crazy trees and
all the nuts of watch this coverage go on for
days and days, and you know, people want to be
part of the action, and regardless of what it is.
I'm sure some of us don't even know what the
protests are about.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Well, I was talking to some Jewish students out here,
and if you can hear that noise behind me, that's
a big giant screen TV that was showing graphic images
from the Hamas attack on Israel on October seventh. That
the counter protester, the Jewish counter protesters are showing this
on the other side. They're not inside that that camp,
they're on the other side and they're showing these videos.
(20:00):
They're saying they're sickened that UCLA is allowing this. So
I was talking to some Jewish students that were watching
those videos and they said, you know, they said, we
saw some of the protesters go in from the camp
into Royce Hall, into that building, and they said, what
concerns them is that some of those people that are
in the camp may not be students and they're breaching
the UCLA buildings. And so they said, that's one thing
(20:22):
that was concerning about it. And they said, you know,
they don't think that UCLA is doing anything about this.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I was just going to ask you what is UCLA
doing to end this nonsense, especially when you have outsiders
coming on coming on the campus and you know, the
taser is a weapon, that's an assault that was committed
against that. I think about.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Trying to do John by having this barricade, dis sense
is keeping outsiders out, you know, that's what they think
they're doing. They're keeping insider outsiders out from so you know,
people like that woman who came in with the taser
from getting into the camp. You know, who knows what
people's intentions are. And I think that's what UCLA put
up over the weekend. There was somebody breached that that sense,
(21:07):
and then there was a fight. And so I think
that now they've got about i'd say six or seven
public safety officers that are just kind of hanging over
the fences, just watching everybody, making sure nobody gets in.
I think that's what UCLA has done thus far. I've
reached out to them, have not heard from them today,
but their last statement said they support freedom of expression
(21:28):
as long as it's not disrupting a school, it's not
disrupting learning, and it's safe. There's no harassing going on.
But I did talk to some Jewish students who last
Thursday were in the middle of a midterm and said
that these protests were disrupting their learning. So, you know,
it's just there's a lot going on here.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
John, all right, Chris, let us know. If anything else
breaks up, I will you know it. Chris Adler, CAFI
News at UCLA. I'm so sick of these sanctimonious statements
from college administrators about we respect the First Amendment and
the right to freedom of expression. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
but the students have the right to take their exams
(22:08):
at peace that they're paying tens of thousands of dollars for.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Yeah. I was talking to my daughter, my daughter last night.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
She goes to law school at USC, and she said
it's very disruptive because she has finals and you know,
it was hard for her to get on campus and
you have to you have to show your ID, and
it's it's just.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
A big headache. And that's not what they need right now.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Why would the administrators side with their their customers, their
constituents are the students. What the students need to take
their classes and take their exams is more important than
anything else. You've blow in your mouth off. Get off
the campus, go do it across the street. I don't
understand why they favor all these loud mouths who aren't
(22:51):
necessarily even part of the university, just because they're they're
they're siding with the with Hamas and then and they
get a run of the place. It's incredible. In fact,
they're so weak the administrators, you have to assume that
they're on that side too. They're on the side of
Palestine and Amas. Even more important to them that these
(23:13):
Prohamas protesters get their say is more important than their
students who pay the bills, more important than them taking
their exams and going to class. I don't know. The
whole world's inverted. It's crazy. And then this here, this
is out of New York. Now, the UH Columbia University
(23:34):
students who have been suspended after getting arrested, they want
to they're now continuing to protest. And one of their
new issues is they want amnesty because they don't want
their arrests and their suspension suspensions to trail them as
part of their permanent record when they go get jobs.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
How about that that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
This is the generation of no consequences. They don't believe
there should be any consequences for bad behavior. Over the
last twenty years, this has infiltrated most schools and now
they think this is this is normal life. So they
want they want the universities and they want law enforcement
to clear the charges, pretend it didn't happen. No record
(24:23):
of any of this. They want to know where they're
going to be able to Are they going to be
able to take their final exams? The protesters are worried.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
Okay, well, then do something about it.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Disrupting everybody else. Let the other students go to class,
and then maybe you can go to class. They want
to know what about their financial aid? Is that going
to be impacted? Oh, they still want someone else to
pay the bill. Wow. They want to know if they'll
be allowed to graduate. Boy, they got a lot of
(24:59):
a lot of gold, don't they.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
I'd like to know if any of these protesters that
that are in college, what they would do if they're
offered a job once they graduate by a Jewish company.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Would they accept a lot of money?
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Let's just say a big law firm, right, a big
Jewish law firm.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Are they going to Are they going to take the job?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Money? Has a way of living with those contra allow
you to live with those contradictions. I don't know, I
just I mean they the hate speech that has come
out of some of these protests, the threats, the blatant
support for one of the worst terrorism organizations on the planet,
(25:52):
and so they publicly disrupt everyone else's life so they
can support terrorists. And then they want to know that
there's no there's no consequences for them. Wow, they have.
Really this is a terrible generation that's been programmed. I
don't think any adult has ever told them that they've
been out of line in their entire life since they
(26:13):
were two years old. More coming up.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Coming up at three o'clock. Jim Desmond, the San Diego
County Supervisor, says San Diego is now the epicenter for
illegal aliens crossing the border. Greg Abbott has done a
terrific job in Texas sealing the Rio Grinde River and
now everything is moved to the west and San Diego
is is the new home of the illegal alien flow.
(26:48):
And we'll talk to him about it. Coming got Actually
a lot of illegal alien news now here. Here's a
terrible sad story that debor will deb will identify with.
Woman in Pacific Palisades, very rich woman lives in a
mansion and she she suffered the loss of her entire
(27:15):
handbag collection, luxury handbag collection. Thieves burst in. They think
South American thieves a gang. They've been part of a
whole rash of residential break ins, including in the Palisades.
And she had a dark green handbag. It wasn't her
(27:36):
only burkin, but it was no but it was the
only one that she left behind when she went to Europe,
Like she took all her other burkins with her, but
she didn't want to lose that one on the European trip.
That's how important that burken bag was. And there it
was in the house when two burglars jumped a retaining
(27:57):
wall at her mansion, smashed through a sloping door on
the pool deck. In and out in fifteen minutes, and
they raced past computers and televisions. They got to her
walk in closet and on a shelf, alongside dozens of
other luxury handbags. She'd been collecting them since she was
a teenager, sat that dark green Burkin. She said, I
(28:20):
had only worn it once on my birthday. The thieves
took the Burken and most of the other bags and
receipts from a drawer, which would back up that they
were real, that they were authenticated. She said the thieves
were like trained assassins, and she thought the Burkeen was
gone forever. But now months later she's looking online and
(28:45):
was shocked to find it for sale on a website
catering to other women who love Burken handbags. Now the
Burkeen is the top right.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Yes this, yes, yes, how much?
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Well I do not have ones, so let's be clear
about that, nor will I ever. But I think the
small one starts at thirty or forty thousand dollars, oh
my god, and it goes up to one hundred thousand,
even the used ones. Because just for the heck of it,
I was looking online to just see what well preloved burkins, there's.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Pre loved burkins get out of here? Is that what
it says?
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Yes, a preloved chanel pre loved.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yes, there's something dirty about that. Well, there's this resale
side called re Deluxe, owned by a YouTube pastor, and
re Deluxe was advertising her bag for twenty five fifty,
(29:51):
So that'd be a significant markdown, wouldn't it.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Well, yeah, but I bet you it's a teeny tiny one.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Oh yeah, I don't know what the size is.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Wait, a pastor is running a and resale website, a
YouTube pastor. There's something fishing the imagine twenty years ago,
trying to make sense of this entire story, like, what
the hell would it was a YouTube pastor and he's
selling He's selling these Burken bags, which up until a
few months ago, I hadn't heard of.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
I had no idea they were the top of the
food chain. It's UHMESSI I was pronounced that rock. I
thought it's Hermes.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
No an I've pronounced it wrong before.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I'm way out of my leader.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
No, it's hard, it's a hard one.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Way out of my depth. It's funny. I can't remember
the last time I was sitting with my friends and
we were talking about Erme's handbags. Just has never come
up anyway. The Alley Times called the YouTube pastor and
he said, through a lawyer that we didn't know the
Burken was stolen, and they have filed a lawsuit against
(30:52):
a woman who sold them the bag. So the thieves
fenced it and some other women won and tried to
claim the UH the resale price by UH putting it
on the Read de Luxe website. Burkins are handmade by
French artisans, sold only at Urmize stores. Yes, you're not
(31:15):
allowed to walk in and pick one out.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Correct. You can't just go in there, have you?
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Have you gone in? Have you tried to? They wouldn't
let you in.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
First of all, I cannot afford that.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, but would you go just to hold it, just
to try it?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
No?
Speaker 5 (31:28):
I'm not that way if I can't afford it.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Uh. Existing customers are contacted by a sales associate who
offers a specific bag for sale, So you can't just
walk in and take one off the off the shelf. Uh.
A lot of customers think they have to buy whatever
burkin they're offered, even if they don't like the color
or the type of leather, or risk being cut off
(31:51):
from buying them in the future. Is that true? Is
that how they.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Treat people that I don't know?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Ermaize would not comment or even all the messages and
questions interviews with bag owners and experts. In a recent lawsuit,
says Birkins are bestowed on customers who spend handsomely on
other products year after year. It's almost like a reward.
The reward is you're allowed to buy it, and there's
(32:18):
like an unwritten rule book that people figure out what
rules to obey.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
You don't say me, no, no, no, don't say me, this.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Is not my lifestyle cuckoo land.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
All right, we got why don't.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
You buy one for your wife? I'm sure that will
put in a very good mood.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Well, the night had the South American Gas break it
into the house, you have to put it in.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Some armed Uh. I'm not going to an armed security guard.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
We don't have anything. We have paper bags. Okay, we
have ziplock bags. My wife takes around all her All right,
when we come back, we're going to talk to Jim Desmond.
Jim Desmond is from San Diego's the San Diego County
Supervisor and he says San Diego is now the epicenter
for legal alien migration. All right, yay, Deborah Mark live
(33:12):
in the CAFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hey, you've been
listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always
hear the show live on KFI Am six forty from
one to four pm every Monday through Friday, and of
course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on from one until
four and then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand.
That's the podcast version of the radio show. Anything that
you missed. We have Mark Arragos coming on now. Mark
is representing Hutter Biden in a lawsuit against Fox News Channel,
(00:25):
saying that Fox has defamed Hunter Biden, painted him in
a false light, and aired revenge porn, violated revenge porn
laws by using Well, we'll find out exactly what that
is about. Let's get Mark Arragos on.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
How are you, by the way, is this the first
time that you've flown solo with me in the Post
John and Canada era?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I think so, yes, first time you had a big
enough case.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I was gonna say it apparently I'm plumbing at ladies.
Now I'm back on the airway. Yeah, I was going
to say, apparently business was slower. You haven't been slamming
me in abstentious so I welcome and it's a beautiful
day in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Explain how anybody could defame Hunter Biden. How is that possible?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well, The interesting part of this is that what spurred
this was a preservation letter that my partner wrote to
Fox News I don't know, maybe a week and a
half ago and specifically outlined the mock trial that Fox
(01:41):
Nation did and the publication of the photos of Hunter Biden.
So the revenge point is what leads on this, and
the preservation letter led with that. The defamation has been
what people kind of since this got out this morning
(02:02):
talking about, but more properly, it's revenge point. It fits
right within the statute.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
By the way, I didn't see the mock trial they
did on Fox Nation. I don't have a subscription, So
if you could explain to me what that program was
about and what was the use of revenge born, what
was the specific video, the.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Use of the pictures that were the providence that are
not established? And when I say that, I mean, you know,
you've heard a lot of people talk about the laptop
back and forth, and I will for your listeners with
that whole kind of episode, but I will tell you
that what they did was they had a supposed simulation
(02:44):
of a trial that involved Hunter Biden and the jury
and supposed evidence, and the evidence included these pictures, which
are by anybody's definition private, were never meant to be publicized.
And by the way, we've got it on fairly good
authority that not only were they exploited for commercial purposes,
(03:08):
but if you take a look at the number of
times that the entities, the Fox related entities have invoked
Jo Biden and the pictures and things of that nature,
it defies almost any kind of rational belief. The number
of times, I think it's an excess of a thousand.
(03:29):
And they monetize one of the reasons they were doing
it wasn't because they were so fascinated with Hunter Bidens,
because they were getting clicks for it. So from just
a purely economic.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I see that I have seen photos and very short
clips many many times over the last few years coming
from the laptop. So something that is so widely available,
what makes this different? I mean, certainly there has been.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Just because it's One of the reasons is it's widely
available is because it's been so widely publicized and basically
ground zero for it has been the Fox and the
Fox affiliated papers, whether it's New York Post and Fox Nation,
which is their streaming service. So that's where that's where
it comes from. That's why you've seen it almost incessantly.
(04:21):
I mean, if you talk anecdotally with people, they say
the same, exactly what you just said. And by the way,
you can't just do that, You can't. You can't take
somebody's photos and use it for your own commercial exploitation.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Well, how does something get distributed for years and years
without tripping a lawsuit immediately? You know, most people don't
understand how this type of law works if they've seen
these pictures now going on what since since probably the
twenty twenty election, right, that whole laptop story goes back
(04:57):
to twenty twenty. Right, So you see these photos in
case over a four year period and there's been no
legal case. Was there something about what Fox Nation did
in this mock trial that was different from all the
other photo and video presentations.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, this was a full throated, if you will, commercial
exploitation on the streaming service, which is what if you
take off kind of the elements of the revenge porn
and the commercial exploitation, this is it. By the way,
(05:32):
the revenge porn law in New York is a fairly
recent vintage as well, And there's also California has one,
but it's it's a little bit more robust in its application,
and it predates it at in New York at least.
This is something that does dropped fairly recently. I don't
(05:53):
have in front of me, But that combined with I'll
give you the other kind of factor that kind of
came into this. You take a look at recently. You've
probably reported on it, although I hadn't listened on it,
But the indictment of Smirnoff, who was acting as an
FBI informant. Once that happened, that unleashed, if you will,
(06:16):
a whole host of pieces of information.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Let me talk about that, because we haven't discussed this
on the air. So there was an FBI informant named
Alexander Smirnoff, and he had floated allegations of bribery against
Hunter Biden. Correct, Fox News hassellar bribery right, And these
allegations are false.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yes, the allegations are not only false, he was indicted
for it, which is shocking to me because look, I've
been doing this for forty years and anybody who does
any kind of federal criminal work will tell you that
unless they've got a wiretap or an informant slash snitch.
The FEDS don't bring a case, and the idea of
(07:03):
the FEDS indicting one of their snitches slash informancy is
virtually unheard of. They did in this case because they
were literally played, and they realized that the government realized
that they were played on this. It's one of the reasons.
And I don't want to get into the politics of
it because that's way above my pay grade. But you
(07:25):
seem that the Biden impeachment inquiry that was opened by
the House has has basically fizzled out because all those
roads led through this smeared off allegation that was much
baluehood at the time and now has been it appears
to be demonstrably disproved.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And Fox News had been pushing this smearnoff story about
the the Hunter Biden bribery.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Fox News not only had been pushing if Fox News,
one of the things that we came up with during
our instigation was intimately involved in the kind of the
orchestrating of this information in the Sacho chamber that they existed.
So's it's really been quite an eye opening experience. I mean,
(08:13):
I've always understood politics to be rough and tumbleist. I'm
sure you have, but this took it to a new level.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Do you have a favorable environment for this? After Fox
had to settle that Dominion voting systems lawsuit and they
had to pay out seven hundred and eighty seven million dollars,
has that made it easier for you to bring this
and have a positive settlement?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Well, I think that if you take Dominion and what
ended up happening there through the discovery process, what was revealed.
That's one of the reasons that we decided to first
start with a preservation letter so that nothing got destroyed
because at least watching from the cheap seats during the
dominion lawsuit, discovery ended up sinking the fire defense there.
(09:01):
Then you've got smart Matic, which is that they're in
the cross on Arizona that has not been settled yet,
and now they've got this, so he's got a more
favorable environment. I think. I think clearly the discovery that
came out and the the kind of participation, the conspiracy
(09:22):
of both contributors, hosts and others, is what has sparked this.
Now at this time when you have the smart Off.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Indictment, so you're you're asking for Sean Hannity, Jesse Waters,
Maria Bartiromo to correct and retract things that they said
or stories that they.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Provided, correct, correct, And I'm sure Jesse and Sean will
do that bunch of things.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
It depends what it's going to cost him. I don't
understand that word.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
You know, I have no doubt that Sean will do
the right thing.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
So your suit says, the bribery allegations were unverified, but
Fox kept pushing them as highly credible.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Right, And by the way, take a look at how
many times that they publicized Hunter Biden bribery blah blah blah,
the number of times that Hunter was invoked. And then
when Smirnov was indicted, it was as if a giant
corporate damp towel was wrapped around the Fox enterprise. They
(10:29):
became almost almost evaporated.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, you know, I never I've never gotten into that
that Fox News conspiracy pushing. And we didn't spend one
day on the election being stolen. I just thought the
whole story was observed from the first moment and nobody
had ever had evidence about anything. And I'm very, very
skeptical of all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, it's by the way, the problem with all this stuff.
And I know that you know that my friends on
the other side of the spectrum have always kind of
poo pooed the Russian connection. But if you take a
look at smear enough, if you take a look at
what some of these others who formerly were in the
(11:15):
inner circle say, there is a disinformation campaign that does fit.
We're aligned closely with what the disinformation blueprint was, and
that does seem to be fed by Russian all.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Right, Mark, good talking with you, Thanks for coming on.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Always good to talk to you too.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Thank you, Mark Garago. And he's behind a lawsuit for
Hunter Biden for Fox News airing revenge porn from Hunter
Biden's computer and also pushing a bribery charge from a
FBI agent who has since been indicted because the bribery
charge was false about Biden. And see where that goes.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That emergency slide that fell off a Delta flight last week? Yeah,
on Friday, did you see it washed up?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Well, it was leaving JFK headed here to Los Angeles
and the emergency slide fell off the Delta flight and
the crew heard a vibration, and so they turned the
flight around to JFK about eight thirty five. A couple
(12:37):
of days go by, and then there's an attorney who
has an ocean front home in Belle Harbor, Queens, faces
the Atlantic Ocean. His name is Jake Bissell Lynsk. He
looks outside and trapped on the rocks within a few
feet of his front yard was the emergency slide.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Now slide it was.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
It's a Boeing seven sixty seven. And here is the twist.
Jake Bisell Link. Jake Besell Lynsk is an attorney whose
firm filed a lawsuit against Boeing after the Alaska Air
door blowout. So because Boeing decided to drop a slide,
(13:24):
try to drop a slide on his head is crazy.
He went out to take pictures of it. Was all deflated, intact,
tangled on the rocks. I didn't want to touch it,
but I got it close enough to look at it.
And our case is all about safety issues at Boeing,
and this slide is literally right in front of my
house around five o'clock. Well, at first, his neighbor calls
(13:49):
an FAA hotline and they're closed on Sunday. Is is
the FAA. I'd like to record a plane has just
crashed to my front lawn. I'm sorry. Business hours are
eight am to five pm Monday through Friday. But a
few hours later a crew of Delta workers arrived and
(14:09):
they fished the shoot out of the water and threw
it in the back of a pickup. And besel Lynsk
is a partner at the law firm Labaton Keller Sucirau,
and they sued Bowing, alleging the company made false and
misleading statements about safety following the Alaska air blowout. Wow,
(14:29):
but that's not all. We have another United flight from
Sacramento to Denver diverted to San Francisco on Sunday. Mechanical
issues on the plane about an hour after take off
had left Sacramento. They forced it to land in San Francisco.
No details on what the mechanical issue was. Had one
(14:50):
hundred and sixty four people and six crew members who
was going to Denver and there is now remember we
attract this there was more than a There's been a
dozen safety incidents on United flights, somehow involving San Francisco. Yes,
either lifting off supposed to arrive there or it's used
as an emergency emergency.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
And I'd like to mention I haven't been to San
Francisco in many years, so you can't blame.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Me choose to live up there.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
I lived in the East Bay.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I think you left a permanent, permanent impact. All right,
when we come back, we're going to talk to Chris
Adler if she's okay. She's covering the protests at EUCLA
and when she was on with Debor's News at two o'clock,
there was a bit of a ruckus right in front
of her. We'll see what that was about.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Next.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
We're on from one until four after four o'clock. John
Cobelts Show on demand on the iHeart app. Moistline is
on Friday eight seven seven Moist eighty six, eight seven
seven Moist eighty six. So let's get going and start venting.
Maybe you've got something to say about at least Toddler
protesters who are screaming and chanting in rhymes and banging
(16:11):
their stupid drums. All these pro terrorist protesters. They've had
another round at UCLA and Chris Adler from KFI new
this was on on Devor's News at two o'clock and
you started talking about a taser. I thought, maybe you'd
gotten zapped.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
You know why that would be the highlight of my day, John,
I think, But you know, I know I have to
apologize the debra because I was in the middle of
my life hit and I'm just seeing this crowd race
over to where the fences that's blocking about fifty loy hitters.
More than fifty tents popped up, but there's this barricade
and there's security blocking the defense, so people can't get in,
(16:51):
media can't get and you can't get in unless you're
a student. But as I'm on the light hit, I'm
looking over and I just hear people and I'm getting
distracted her. I see a scuffle and people are fighting,
and then I hear a taser what I thought was
a taser at the time, and I was like, oh
my gosh, somebody's getting caved over there. So, you know,
then we ended up speaking with the guy that got
into a fight with this pro Palestinian woman. She was
(17:13):
wearing a cafia. She came in from the street he said,
not from the camp itself.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
John.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
So she came in from the street, walked over, grabbed
the sign of a pro I'm sorry of an Israeli
hostage that was up on the fence. She took it
down and started ripping at the guy tried to take
that sign back. She says, that's when she grabbed him
by the neck, tried to strangle him with his hat cord,
(17:39):
and then she pulled out a taser and that's when
we heard that taser. He said. She tried to pull
out a taser, tried to chase him. Someone tried to
come in and intervene and stop it, and she she
aimed the haser at that person, and then she was
escorted off the campus. And as she was walking off
the campus, she said something like look me up, I'm Lily,
blah blah blah, and then she grabbed her breast, both
(18:01):
of them, seized them and just kind of shook them
at everybody, and we were just like, what.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I know that an assault with a deadly weapon there,
what's that going to be the charge?
Speaker 6 (18:16):
He grabbed them and just was like shaking them at
people like look me up. And she then she walked
off the campus. And after that, just shortly after that,
there was marchers pro Palestinian marchers marching across the campus
at dacent to the street here. But fortunately it didn't
seem nobody got there was no contact with that taser.
(18:38):
She she left the campus. But I talked to the guy.
He would not confirm whether he was Jewish or not.
He said he was a protest observer and he just
didn't like what she was doing. And so, you know,
he went over to take that client back.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
John a protest observer. Is that a paid job or
is this a little side hobby? I don't understand. Is
nothing better to do?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
I know, well, I said, you know, can we say
are you Jewish? Can we say you're Jewish? He goes,
I don't think that that's important. I think what's important
is that one side was violent, one side was not.
So you know, and I heard that taser. You know,
I've heard that what sounded like the taser as I
was live and I was like, oh wow, you know,
as it was unfolding.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Well and any other skirmish is going on, I mean,
this is this is shaking all the crazy trees and
all the nuts of watch this coverage go on for
days and days, and you know, people want to be
part of the action, and regardless of what it is.
I'm sure some of us don't even know what the
protests are about.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Well, I was talking to some Jewish students out here,
and if you can hear that noise behind me, that's
a big giant screen TV that was showing graphic images
from the Hamas attack on Israel on October seventh. That
the counter protester, the Jewish counter protesters are showing this
on the other side. They're not inside that that camp,
they're on the other side and they're showing these videos.
(20:00):
They're saying they're sickened that UCLA is allowing this. So
I was talking to some Jewish students that were watching
those videos and they said, you know, they said, we
saw some of the protesters go in from the camp
into Royce Hall, into that building, and they said, what
concerns them is that some of those people that are
in the camp may not be students and they're breaching
the UCLA buildings. And so they said, that's one thing
(20:22):
that was concerning about it. And they said, you know,
they don't think that UCLA is doing anything about this.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I was just going to ask you what is UCLA
doing to end this nonsense, especially when you have outsiders
coming on coming on the campus and you know, the
taser is a weapon, that's an assault that was committed
against that. I think about.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Trying to do John by having this barricade, dis sense
is keeping outsiders out, you know, that's what they think
they're doing. They're keeping insider outsiders out from so you know,
people like that woman who came in with the taser
from getting into the camp. You know, who knows what
people's intentions are. And I think that's what UCLA put
up over the weekend. There was somebody breached that that sense,
(21:07):
and then there was a fight. And so I think
that now they've got about i'd say six or seven
public safety officers that are just kind of hanging over
the fences, just watching everybody, making sure nobody gets in.
I think that's what UCLA has done thus far. I've
reached out to them, have not heard from them today,
but their last statement said they support freedom of expression
(21:28):
as long as it's not disrupting a school, it's not
disrupting learning, and it's safe. There's no harassing going on.
But I did talk to some Jewish students who last
Thursday were in the middle of a midterm and said
that these protests were disrupting their learning. So, you know,
it's just there's a lot going on here.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
John, all right, Chris, let us know. If anything else
breaks up, I will you know it. Chris Adler, CAFI
News at UCLA. I'm so sick of these sanctimonious statements
from college administrators about we respect the First Amendment and
the right to freedom of expression. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
but the students have the right to take their exams
(22:08):
at peace that they're paying tens of thousands of dollars for.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Yeah. I was talking to my daughter, my daughter last night.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
She goes to law school at USC, and she said
it's very disruptive because she has finals and you know,
it was hard for her to get on campus and
you have to you have to show your ID, and
it's it's just.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
A big headache. And that's not what they need right now.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Why would the administrators side with their their customers, their
constituents are the students. What the students need to take
their classes and take their exams is more important than
anything else. You've blow in your mouth off. Get off
the campus, go do it across the street. I don't
understand why they favor all these loud mouths who aren't
(22:51):
necessarily even part of the university, just because they're they're
they're siding with the with Hamas and then and they
get a run of the place. It's incredible. In fact,
they're so weak the administrators, you have to assume that
they're on that side too. They're on the side of
Palestine and Amas. Even more important to them that these
(23:13):
Prohamas protesters get their say is more important than their
students who pay the bills, more important than them taking
their exams and going to class. I don't know. The
whole world's inverted. It's crazy. And then this here, this
is out of New York. Now, the UH Columbia University
(23:34):
students who have been suspended after getting arrested, they want
to they're now continuing to protest. And one of their
new issues is they want amnesty because they don't want
their arrests and their suspension suspensions to trail them as
part of their permanent record when they go get jobs.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
How about that that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
This is the generation of no consequences. They don't believe
there should be any consequences for bad behavior. Over the
last twenty years, this has infiltrated most schools and now
they think this is this is normal life. So they
want they want the universities and they want law enforcement
to clear the charges, pretend it didn't happen. No record
(24:23):
of any of this. They want to know where they're
going to be able to Are they going to be
able to take their final exams? The protesters are worried.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
Okay, well, then do something about it.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Disrupting everybody else. Let the other students go to class,
and then maybe you can go to class. They want
to know what about their financial aid? Is that going
to be impacted? Oh, they still want someone else to
pay the bill. Wow. They want to know if they'll
be allowed to graduate. Boy, they got a lot of
(24:59):
a lot of gold, don't they.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
I'd like to know if any of these protesters that
that are in college, what they would do if they're
offered a job once they graduate by a Jewish company.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Would they accept a lot of money?
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Let's just say a big law firm, right, a big
Jewish law firm.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Are they going to Are they going to take the job?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Money? Has a way of living with those contra allow
you to live with those contradictions. I don't know, I
just I mean they the hate speech that has come
out of some of these protests, the threats, the blatant
support for one of the worst terrorism organizations on the planet,
(25:52):
and so they publicly disrupt everyone else's life so they
can support terrorists. And then they want to know that
there's no there's no consequences for them. Wow, they have.
Really this is a terrible generation that's been programmed. I
don't think any adult has ever told them that they've
been out of line in their entire life since they
(26:13):
were two years old. More coming up.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Coming up at three o'clock. Jim Desmond, the San Diego
County Supervisor, says San Diego is now the epicenter for
illegal aliens crossing the border. Greg Abbott has done a
terrific job in Texas sealing the Rio Grinde River and
now everything is moved to the west and San Diego
is is the new home of the illegal alien flow.
(26:48):
And we'll talk to him about it. Coming got Actually
a lot of illegal alien news now here. Here's a
terrible sad story that debor will deb will identify with.
Woman in Pacific Palisades, very rich woman lives in a
mansion and she she suffered the loss of her entire
(27:15):
handbag collection, luxury handbag collection. Thieves burst in. They think
South American thieves a gang. They've been part of a
whole rash of residential break ins, including in the Palisades.
And she had a dark green handbag. It wasn't her
(27:36):
only burkin, but it was no but it was the
only one that she left behind when she went to Europe,
Like she took all her other burkins with her, but
she didn't want to lose that one on the European trip.
That's how important that burken bag was. And there it
was in the house when two burglars jumped a retaining
(27:57):
wall at her mansion, smashed through a sloping door on
the pool deck. In and out in fifteen minutes, and
they raced past computers and televisions. They got to her
walk in closet and on a shelf, alongside dozens of
other luxury handbags. She'd been collecting them since she was
a teenager, sat that dark green Burkin. She said, I
(28:20):
had only worn it once on my birthday. The thieves
took the Burken and most of the other bags and
receipts from a drawer, which would back up that they
were real, that they were authenticated. She said the thieves
were like trained assassins, and she thought the Burkeen was
gone forever. But now months later she's looking online and
(28:45):
was shocked to find it for sale on a website
catering to other women who love Burken handbags. Now the
Burkeen is the top right.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Yes this, yes, yes, how much?
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Well I do not have ones, so let's be clear
about that, nor will I ever. But I think the
small one starts at thirty or forty thousand dollars, oh
my god, and it goes up to one hundred thousand,
even the used ones. Because just for the heck of it,
I was looking online to just see what well preloved burkins, there's.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Pre loved burkins get out of here? Is that what
it says?
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Yes, a preloved chanel pre loved.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yes, there's something dirty about that. Well, there's this resale
side called re Deluxe, owned by a YouTube pastor, and
re Deluxe was advertising her bag for twenty five fifty,
(29:51):
So that'd be a significant markdown, wouldn't it.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Well, yeah, but I bet you it's a teeny tiny one.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Oh yeah, I don't know what the size is.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Wait, a pastor is running a and resale website, a
YouTube pastor. There's something fishing the imagine twenty years ago,
trying to make sense of this entire story, like, what
the hell would it was a YouTube pastor and he's
selling He's selling these Burken bags, which up until a
few months ago, I hadn't heard of.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
I had no idea they were the top of the
food chain. It's UHMESSI I was pronounced that rock. I
thought it's Hermes.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
No an I've pronounced it wrong before.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I'm way out of my leader.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
No, it's hard, it's a hard one.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Way out of my depth. It's funny. I can't remember
the last time I was sitting with my friends and
we were talking about Erme's handbags. Just has never come
up anyway. The Alley Times called the YouTube pastor and
he said, through a lawyer that we didn't know the
Burken was stolen, and they have filed a lawsuit against
(30:52):
a woman who sold them the bag. So the thieves
fenced it and some other women won and tried to
claim the UH the resale price by UH putting it
on the Read de Luxe website. Burkins are handmade by
French artisans, sold only at Urmize stores. Yes, you're not
(31:15):
allowed to walk in and pick one out.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Correct. You can't just go in there, have you?
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Have you gone in? Have you tried to? They wouldn't
let you in.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
First of all, I cannot afford that.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, but would you go just to hold it, just
to try it?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
No?
Speaker 5 (31:28):
I'm not that way if I can't afford it.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Uh. Existing customers are contacted by a sales associate who
offers a specific bag for sale, So you can't just
walk in and take one off the off the shelf. Uh.
A lot of customers think they have to buy whatever
burkin they're offered, even if they don't like the color
or the type of leather, or risk being cut off
(31:51):
from buying them in the future. Is that true? Is
that how they.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Treat people that I don't know?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Ermaize would not comment or even all the messages and
questions interviews with bag owners and experts. In a recent lawsuit,
says Birkins are bestowed on customers who spend handsomely on
other products year after year. It's almost like a reward.
The reward is you're allowed to buy it, and there's
(32:18):
like an unwritten rule book that people figure out what
rules to obey.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
You don't say me, no, no, no, don't say me, this.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Is not my lifestyle cuckoo land.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
All right, we got why don't.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
You buy one for your wife? I'm sure that will
put in a very good mood.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Well, the night had the South American Gas break it
into the house, you have to put it in.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Some armed Uh. I'm not going to an armed security guard.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
We don't have anything. We have paper bags. Okay, we
have ziplock bags. My wife takes around all her All right,
when we come back, we're going to talk to Jim Desmond.
Jim Desmond is from San Diego's the San Diego County
Supervisor and he says San Diego is now the epicenter
for legal alien migration. All right, yay, Deborah Mark live
