Uh should I do the Garcetti prance.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Oh yeah, you're going to be doing.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
That for sure. But how am I going to learn
the steps?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I've already Hey, I've mentioned this to you a while ago,
so you better learn it because you're gonna be dancing.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I'm supposed to study the Garcetti dance moves in India.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yes, I don't think I'm going to be able to.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Well, then you're gonna look even more ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I don't think I can out to how ridiculous I've
already looked. Anyway, tomorrow, that's that'll be all the fun.
Oh and I just found out and he's uh, he's
going to be on my phone so he won't witness this,
this embarrassment. Nathan Hakman is coming on at three o'clock
because tomorrow is Nathan Hawkman's first day on the job
as district Attorney's going to be sworn in I think
(01:48):
sometime tomorrow morning by Arnold Schwartzinger. So Nathan Hawkman's first day.
We are in the last hours of the gasconon era,
the Gascone wreckage.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
All right, let's go to.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Our guest here. We used to have him on frequently,
doctor John Eastman. He was the Dean of Chapman University's
School of Law and specializing in constitutional law, legal history,
and property. And then he joined the Trump legal team
right after, right around the twenty twenty election, and some
(02:23):
of his theories and strategies were used by Trump. It
was he had a plan under which Mike Pence would
block the certification of Biden's electoral college victory. I think
we know what happened since then, and Eastman has been
indicted in in these cases and we'll find out what
(02:43):
the where he is now legally. Let's get John Eastman
on how are you hey?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
John? How are you John?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I'm good? Uh So?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
What what is your legal status right now? Because I
know they were they were headed trying to dispar you.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Well, the California Bar Hearing Court has recommended disbarment. It's
a pretty outrageous decision, and we've appealed that they don't.
The bar court itself doesn't have authority to disbar or
even suspend my license. Only the Californias Supreme Court can
do that. So we'll see what happens in the intermediate
(03:23):
months and years while we get this case up to
the California Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And what now I know Jack Smith, the special prosecutor
is withdrawn. Is withdrawing the case in Washington, d C.
Were you part of that one as well? Because that was.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
I was described as an unindicted co conspirator in that case.
Even though the conspiracy charge is centered on a provision
of the statute that was part of the old mob
witness intimidation statute, it was preposterous to even suggest that
that statute applied, And the Supreme Court, in one of
(04:01):
the j six defending cases, said, this is not what
this statute is for. So Jack Smith had to drop
those charges anyway, and then he was still trying to
figure out a way to keep going against President Trump.
But now that President Trump's been reelected, he can't go
after the soon to be sitting president, all right.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So the only case that would remain that both Trump
and you are a target would be the state case
in Georgia where Trump was accused of trying to influence
the vote count with the best Georgia Secretary of State.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
That's what he was accused of. But I mean, they
continue to insist on this false characterization of that infamous
phone call. I mean, Trump did not ask Raffensburger the
Secretary of State to go make up eleven twelve hundred
votes so he would win. He said, we've identified about
one hundred and fifty thousand illegal votes. All you have
to do is find twelve thousand of them and I win.
(04:56):
Completely different take, and so the points on the left
and the narrative is just repeatedly false. The Washington Post
originally ran with that story, and they had the issue
a retraction once the actual transcript of the of the
phone call was produced, But everybody else keeps citing it
as if you know, Trump said go make up twelve
(05:16):
thousand votes for me so I can win. Now, are
you creayton falsehood?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Are you under indictment in the Georgia case?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I am, and also in Arizona, and we're you know,
fighting hard against both of these. These these are egregious
examples of what we now call law there, which is
the use of creative use of the criminal statutes or
the bar disciplinary processes to go after your political enemies.
It's it's Soviet style stuff. It's you know. Lorente Berea, famously,
(05:46):
he was the Stalin head of secret police, famously said
show me the man, and I'll show you the crime.
And what these guys are doing is scouring the statute
books to try and find something that they can pin
on Donald Trump and his teas borders so that people
will be shamed into silence or powered into silence. And
that's just not the crew. We are sure we're not
(06:08):
gonna sit silently while they do this.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
You know, it's difficult to track all these cases because
of the complexities. But did you do anything, in your eyes,
obviously beyond just give legal advice, even even if some
people thought it was hair brained and wrong and this
and that was it just giving legal advice that it costs,
So it was druving.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Legal advice, but also exercising my own free speech and
right to petition the government for redress of grievances constitutional rights.
There were lots of grievances about illegality in the twenty
twenty election, and we were asking elected officials to investigate.
And if the investigations proved that, in fact the illegality
(06:50):
it affected the outcome of the elections, it knew something
about it. That's a constitutional right every citizen in this
country has. And then and then giving legal advice even
even if people thought it was implausible. And you know, John,
I've been on your show long enough for you to
know that. You know, I have a view of the
Constitution that's based on original understanding that a lot of
(07:11):
my colleagues in the Lego Academy don't share. That doesn't
you know. I happen to be right at most of
those things. But even if I'm not, that doesn't make
it a criminal offense or disparable events to have a
difference of opinion about constitutional interpretation.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Do you think Trump is going to pardon you for
any federal problems you might have?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well take care of any like.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
It goes Yeah, the federal stuff looks like it goes
away with Trump coming in. Uh so, you know, no
pardoner necessary. And of course he doesn't have pardon power
over the state proceedings in Georgia or Arizona. Those proceedings
just need to be dismissed. We learned in Arizona, for example, recently.
Is this This hardline anti Trump activist group called States
(07:57):
United Democracy Center actually wrote to forty one page memo
outlining the way that the current attorney general in Arizona
could go after Trump and his supporters. This is preposterous
to be off boarding prosecute orial discretion to hyperpartisan groups.
And as a result of that, I think the case
(08:18):
is going to get dismissed as well. It should.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
And what are they accusing you of in Arizona?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Well, I mean, I had nothing to do with Arizona,
but they're accusing me of being part of a conspiracy
to have fake electoral votes sent to Washington, DC. You know,
even the indictment is full of of that talking point
narrative phrase. They weren't fake electors. They were contingent electors
based on the contingency of either litigation or legislative investigations
(08:48):
determining that somebody else had won the election, and if
they didn't meet and vote on the designated day, their
votes couldn't be counted even if it was later proved
that Trump had won the election. So this whole thing
is a concoct action to try and uh sign and
cower people away from raising questions about illegality and elections
we don't have. We don't have a free country if
(09:09):
we don't have free elections. It's pretty simple. And if
we're not allowed to talk about illegalities that occur in
the elections, did God help us?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
What about Biden pardoning Hunter, Well, you know, anybody that
believed his repeated statements that he would never pardon, but
Hunter is either naive or stupid.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I mean, of course, he was going to pardon them
the day after the election, if if if he if
he'd won, I mean, if he if he'd lost, and
and you know, the day before he leaves office, if
he went, I mean, he was, he was going to pardon.
And there's no and anybody that thought otherwise just doesn't
know who this guy is throughout his whole career. But
(09:54):
it's a very interesting thing now because now that he's pardoned,
he can't be criminally prosecuted. And by the way, the
criminal prosecutions for the tax, the tax evasion, and the
gun thing, those were designed to take the heat off
the real serious criminal charges, which is to pay the
play scandal that he was involved with with his father,
(10:17):
and they wanted to keep that one under the rug,
under wraps, and so they bring these, you know, kind
of more modest charges against them. Say see, we're going
after him too. Well, now that he's been pardoned for
everything he did for the last ten years, he no
longer has the ability to claim the fifth Amendment defense
for investigations, and he can be called as a witness,
(10:40):
he can be investigated, he can be subpoenaed, he can
be interviewed by the FBI under the new FBI Director
Cash Totel. And if he doesn't come clean on the
monies that was coming out of Ukraine or coming out
of China or coming out of Russia, ten percent of
which was going to the big guy, remember that conversation. Yeah,
(11:03):
if he doesn't come clean on it, then he could
be charged with obstruction of justice. And if he goes
under oath on a witness stand and lies about it,
he could be charged with perjury. So the pardon may
actually have been a boon to the incoming Trump administration
if they're interested in pursuing this massive scandal because Hunter
(11:24):
Biden could no longer say I assert the fifth I
don't have to testify. He can't do that when he's
no longer subject to prosecution.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
John Easpin, thank you for coming on again.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Oh it's my pleasure, John, good talking to me on
more often. There's a lots coming down the pike that
we should be talking about pretty regularly.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
We will, we will, thank you, John, John Eastman and
he's the former dean at Chapman University's Law school who
was involved in coming up with the legal strategy for
Trump when the twenty twenty election happened.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Is the short way to explain it.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from A six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Tomorrow is the Pastathon and we'll be on live from
one to four at Katerina's Club raising money for Katerina's
Club at Chef Bruno's Anaheim White House Restaurant. And tomorrow
you can bid well, actually you can bid now and

Go to Wendy's donate five dollars or more, you get
a coupon book where A fifteen dollars. And then tomorrow
all day the big Party KFIAM six forty dot com
slash Pastathon is where you could continue donating.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
To the great cast yeat Waite is going to be
so much fun. If you can show up in person,
you'll see John. He's playing dress up.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
It's going to be very cre like I'm a doll.
You know, we're going to us John up tomorrow. Yeah,
I'm like your personal Ken doll. Yes, you're John dollep.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Gavin newso God, we you know, we have a tremendous
amount of debt now in the state. Gavin Knew some
blue at one hundred billion dollar surplus, and so now
we have many billions of dollars a debt, and he
wants to waste twenty five million dollars for a special
legal defense fund to Trump proof California. He's asking the
(13:28):
state legislature to convene in a special session, in fact
that that is happening today, a special emergency session. He
wants them to approve twenty five million dollars of money
they don't have. We're we're in deficit spending here, and
he's do you know, do you know in the four
(13:51):
years that Trump was president, California's Department of Justice sued
Trump one hundred and twenty two times, spending forty two
million dollars on the lawsuits. And I don't know what.
I have no idea what the outcome of these lawsuits were.
(14:16):
So that's one hundred and twenty two lawsuits. Trump only
filed four lawsuits against the state, so it was one
twenty two to four, and three of them were over
sanctuary state laws. This is a tremendous, disgusting waste of money.
(14:44):
In the meantime, they don't want to help the federal
government enforce the immigration laws, and they want to resist
and they want to interfere with the enforcement of federal
immigration laws. And you should know this that there's nothing
Newsome or Karen Bass for that matter, can do about
(15:07):
immigration laws. They can choose not to assist, but they
can't stop the government. The federal government has absolute total
control over the border and any internal immigration policies. Like
every single time it goes before the Supreme Court, the
federal government wins. We have control, and it goes both ways.
(15:29):
If a state wants to be tougher than a federal policy,
it can't. States have lost those lawsuits, and if they
want to be more lenient or somehow interfere with a
federal immigration policy, they can't. And it seems clear that
(15:51):
they are going to send in a lot of the
immigration officers into the state and into Los Angeles, and
I think they're gonna use Los Angeles as an example
of who's in charge. And I think they're gonna show
Newsom who's in charge. But for Newsom to waste twenty
(16:13):
five million dollars on more stupid lawsuits just to prove
that he's the leader of the resistance. That's not what
we need. We're going to be paying an extra ninety
cents a gallon for gas next year. It's gonna cost
probably five point fifty for a gallon of gas. If
(16:35):
you're going to hold a special session, why don't you
hold a special session and remove a lot of those
taxes in fees that are sinking us in the oil industry.
That's where your responsibility should lie. Because we're paying two
dollars more a gallon of gas than most other states.
(16:55):
So you're gonna waste money on lawyers like the lawyers
don't have enough. In meantime, and I tell you where
it's going to hurt a lot of people, because there's
these back to work orders increase, where companies are telling
employees that you can't work at home anymore. You've got
to go back to the commute, and that's going to
be a huge expense for a lot of people. They're
(17:18):
going to come back to five point fifty a gallon
gas and it's entirely the governor's fault, entirely the fault
of the California Democratic Legislature.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
More coming up.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
There's a fascinating story in the USA today. Do you
know who's being called xenophone, xenophobic and racist now the
Mexican people, because it turns out, increasingly in the last
few years, the Mexicans are fed up with all the
illegal immigration in their country because there's been immigrants from
(17:55):
one hundred and seventy nations that have passed through.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Mexico to get to the US.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Not all of them pass all the way through, and
they're in Mexico and they're living there in public in
the streets. Some of them are being held by the
Mexican government depending on how much they wanted to help
out Joe Biden during the election cycle. And there's certainly
going to be more illegal immigrants held back in Mexico
(18:24):
now with Trump in power. But the Mexicans don't like
all the outsiders. And so there's this left wing organization
called ox Spam and they have done a study on
Mexicans feelings regarding immigration policy, and they found out that
(18:49):
the public is now increasingly racist and xenophobic.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Remember when it was Americans who are.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Racist and xenophobic because they wouldn't accept large quantities of
Mexican immigrants. Well, now the Mexicans are racist and di
xenophobic because they don't like who's coming into their country.
I don't think you know, people in government and in
the media don't understand that it's basic human nature to
want to be living amongst your own and are suspicious
(19:22):
of outsiders and people with differences. And if there's natural assimilation,
people can tolerate it. But when there's some overwhelming surge,
people are going to get angry. They don't want their
lives disrupted that way. It says here that in USA
today that Trump may be finding support in an unlikely
(19:45):
corner among Mexicans themselves. But the migration has changed. There's
now Central Americans, Haitians, Venezuelans, and then people from all
over the globe. And now you have seventy percent of Mexicans.
Seventy percent they say the migrant flows into their country
are excessive. More than half the respondents say migration has
(20:08):
a negative impact on the economy and on culture, or
at least there's nothing positive about it. Forty percent think
migration should be limited or prohibited. There's now flare ups
of violence all over Mexico because if you go to
Mexico City, they have a plaza right in the heart
(20:29):
of the historic center, and now there's people living in
the plaza. Migrants were living in the rain and filth
from their camping tents and makeshift lean tos. You know,
parts of Mexico City are really nice and wealthy, and
suddenly you have these migrants from god knows what countries,
(20:49):
and they were waiting for appointments at the US border,
or they were waiting for their chance to run across illegally.
If you went to this city, you found venezuelan Is
waiting in line for a free breakfast in a Catholic church,
Haitians speaking Creole or washing their children in the street,
(21:10):
and an Angolan woman was boiling a chicken over an
open fire right in the city plaza. I guess you
got little naked children getting washed by mom, and people
boiling chickens, and it says the Mexican neighbors who lived
near the plaza have grown frustrated anger boiled over. Earlier
(21:31):
this year, police had to respond to fights between locals
and Haitians. Two people got hurt. According to one analyst
at Rice University, people are supportive of immigration if immigrants
are in a shelter, locked away and don't affect their
day to day life. As soon as they feel there's
(21:51):
interference with their daily activities, then the underlying racism, prejudice,
and xenophobia become a parent. Boy, is that classic?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
You get?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
What is the name of this guy? I should name
him specifically.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
He's Tony Pyan, executive director for the Center for the
US and Mexico at Rice University.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
And this is the attitudes.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
No, we have the right here in US and Mexico
to live peacefully in our neighborhoods and not deal with
all the problems that poor immigrants bring in to a neighborhood.
We have no, we have no obligation to deal with it.
That is not our problem. And if we're happy with
(22:36):
the people who live in our neighborhood, for whatever reason,
you like diversity, you go live in a diverse neighborhood
you liked, you know, a single culture, you live in
that kind of neighborhood. But it's up to us, and
it's up to the Mexican citizens too. You can't force
people to deal with immigration and then immediately what's.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
The go to?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
What's the go to these people? Well, it's the triple
crown there. You're racist, you're prejudiced, and your xenophobic. Now
the Mexicans are bad people. They were good people yesterday,
but they're bad people today now they're acting like Americans. No,
it's because people want to live with their own kind
(23:18):
and not be force fed poor immigrants who don't have housing,
who don't have money, who don't have jobs and skills.
If you cram people like that into existing neighborhoods, you're
going to get nothing but pushback. It doesn't matter what
country you're in. This is going on in Europe too.
People in England are upset, Germany, Sweden, all over the place.
(23:43):
People don't want outsiders, and they don't want outsiders problems,
and they don't want to pay for outsiders problems. That's
entirely normal and natural, and it's only these educated idiots
at universities and in politics and in media. Yeah, who
insist Otherwise, of course, none of these people would take
(24:03):
in any of these immigrants. You think this guy at
Rice University is gonna take a woman in who's boiling
a chicken in a driveway.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
No, he's not.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
He'd called the police. There's such fakes, and there's such
phonies on top of it. So it turns out Mexico
is going through exactly the same thing that the United
States went through. I mean, it's the greatest irony in
the world. And you have a lot of Hispanic residents,
(24:32):
as we've found out here in the US, largely Mexican,
well Mexican, and they don't want the new immigrants coming
in either, and they don't want their jobs compromised. And
that's why you had such a huge Latino population voting
for Trump is they could see unchecked immigration is no
(24:54):
good because many of them were legal immigrants. And you're
gonna see Trump was an earthquake. You're going to see
more of these earthquakes. This whole era of open borders
and free immigration is over, and it looks like the
last dead enders are going to be politicians in California,
(25:14):
people like Newsom and Karen Bass. They're going to be
the last ones declaring sanctuary, the last ones filing lawsuits,
when much of the rest of the country, much of Mexico,
many of the Mexican immigrants in the US, are saying enough,
party's over, We're done. This policy is absurd, and who
(25:36):
do we have left? Newsom and Bass they don't know
that the war is over and they lost.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
More coming up, you're listening to John Cobels on demand
from KFI A sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:53):

And that's tomorrow. The big fun We've been talking throughout
the show about Joe Biden, after denying over and over
and over again in his idiot press secretary Karine Jean Pierre,
denying and lying over and over again, Biden was never
(27:02):
was never going to pardon Hunter. No no, no, no, uh.
And this is worth playing. A compilation that we put
together first of Biden asking if he'd pardon Hunter, it's
pretty clear.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Let me ask you.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter
what it is.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yes? And have you ruled out a pardon for your son, Yes,
you have.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
I'm extremely proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome
an addiction. He is He's one of the brightest, most
decent men I know. And I am satisfied that I'm
not going to do anything I said. I advide by
the jury decision and I will do that and I
will not partner him.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
So three times we have on tape there and there
were others. He's not gonna garden Hunter. Then this is
great White House practiced. Serry Karein Press Secretary Kaarin John Pierre.
Listen to how many times she says no about the
pardon question. From a presidential perspective, is there any possibility
that the president would end up pardoning his son?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Well, I just said no.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
I just answered the President would not pardon or community
sentences for his son Hunter. I want to make sure
that that is not going to change over the next
six months. The President's say.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
It's still a no, It's still an it will always
be enough.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
It's still a no.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
It will be a no.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
It is a no.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
And I don't have anything else to add. People he
pardoned his son No.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
His son Hunter is also up for being sentenced next month.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Does the President have any intention of pardoning him?
Speaker 8 (28:48):
We've been asked that question multiple times.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Our answer stands, which.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
Is now President Biden says that if he's not going
to pardon his son Hunter, is he going to ask Donald.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Trump to do that.
Speaker 8 (28:59):
I don't have anything else to share about that.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
I'm not going to get to go down a rabbit
hole on this.
Speaker 8 (29:03):
I've been very clear. The President's been very clear when
we've been asked this question.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Do you don't how many times just in that little
montage that was less than a minute, nine times she
said no.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Nine times. I was wondering what you were doing with
that highlighter.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I was just doing hashbarks here, just counting the nose.
So she had to be asked about Biden now pardoning Hunter.
Let's hear Karie Jean Pierre again.
Speaker 9 (29:31):
You have said repeatedly yourself since the election, the President
has said for months, no pardon was coming.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Listen to this.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
I just I wanted to ask you. Could those statements
now be seen as lies of the American people? Is
there really credibility is you here given now this announcement.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
First of all, one of the things that the president
always believes is to be truthful to the American people,
something that he always truly believes. And if you see
the end of his I assume that you've read his
statement and you look at the end of that statement,
and he actually says that in the first line of
the last paragraph and respects the thinking and how the
(30:11):
American people will actually see this in his decision making.
What is she said, he would encourage everyone to this statement.
I think he lays out his thought process. He lays
out how he came to this decision. He came to
this decision this weekend. So let's be very clear about that.
He says it himself, it's in his voice. He said
(30:32):
he came to this decision this weekend, and he said
he wrestled.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
With us and because of the Justice Simpson.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
But he also believes that the war politics infected the
process and led to a miscarriage of justice.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
He actually committed these crimes. In fact, he pleaded guilty
to the tax charges. I mean, his son went before
the judge and pleaded guilty, and everybody wondered why he
did it, because he didn't negotiate a plea deal, which
presumably he would have gotten less jail time. Well, he
didn't do it because he knew his dad was going
to pardon him. And Biden and Biden's brother and Hunter
(31:16):
were all up to their necks in shady business deals
selling influence to Joe.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That's obvious.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
There's money hidden somewhere and they all profited from it.
That was the dirty family business. All right, we got
Conway coming up here.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Hey, no, hey, no, all right, we're back on the air.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
I think solong. Oh that's right.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
You weren't here last week, that's right. As a matter
of fact, somebody.
Speaker 10 (31:46):
Had texted me, they said, aren't you nervous to take.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
The day off?
Speaker 7 (31:52):
Like, oh, yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Scheduled thing.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
But we've got the big Catarina's Club is tomorrow. You're
gonna be down there, yes, Bill, It'll start with Amy
King and then Bill Handle Yeah, almost almost called her
Amy Pool, an old friend of mine, Amy King, then
Bill Handle, Gary and Shannon you yeah. And by the way,
(32:17):
that this is the first one without without your partner,
isn't it the second first or second first?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
First?
Speaker 10 (32:25):
Okay because he've retired shortly after, right, Caterina's Club, yes,
last year, and then uh, we'll come on, and then
Moe Kelly. So we're gonna raise a lot of money
at the White House in Anaheim, So come on down, man.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
That'd be great.
Speaker 7 (32:39):
And then we've got a guy came on coming on
named Adam.
Speaker 10 (32:41):
Schomer and his dad like secretly saved hundreds and thousands
and thousands of comics and they found him like in
a vault downstairs perfectly, uh, you know, with air conditioned
and and and in these drive vaults where they're all
pret detected by the elements. And this thing is worth
(33:02):
millions and millions, maybe tens of millions of dollars, and
so he's coming to come on to explain. Oh wow, yeah,
it's and he did a movie called Selling Superman that's
supposed to be great.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
So we'll get into.
Speaker 10 (33:13):
That a little bit of the Biden pardon. But I
think we all saw that coming. It wasn't a shocked No,
nobody was shocked. It's just fun to play the denials
over and over again. Yeah, it's nobody is shocked by
that kind of crap. You know, like if you were
the CEO of I don't know, pick a company, Taco Bell,
(33:34):
and you said for two years, I'm not going to
do this, I'm not going to do this, this, this, this,
and then you did it, they'd fire you for them.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah right, Well, in a way they have, I guess
they have. Yeah, he's on his way out.
Speaker 10 (33:47):
But but man, that was a sweeping pardon that covers everything.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yeah, everything, any crime he could have conceivably committed for
the last ten years.
Speaker 10 (33:57):
But it includes future crimes because if they had started
in that ten year period, they're including Yeah, so is
there any kind of bribes that were paid off in
the future as long as it started in that ten
year period, he's.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Anny business with Ukraine or China or anywhere else. Wow,
all that money that they they ran off with.
Speaker 7 (34:14):
Good to have a dad on top man. Yeah, man,
what a life.
Speaker 10 (34:17):
I'll bet I'll bet you anything that he went to
his dad and said, you're gonna pardon me or I'm
gonna start talking about our family business. How about that
happened and he might still Yeah, you know pay per view.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Kiways up, big dog.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
We got Crozier with the news live in the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to The
John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the show

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Uh should I do the Garcetti prance.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Oh yeah, you're going to be doing.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
That for sure. But how am I going to learn
the steps?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I've already Hey, I've mentioned this to you a while ago,
so you better learn it because you're gonna be dancing.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I'm supposed to study the Garcetti dance moves in India.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yes, I don't think I'm going to be able to.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Well, then you're gonna look even more ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I don't think I can out to how ridiculous I've
already looked. Anyway, tomorrow, that's that'll be all the fun.
Oh and I just found out and he's uh, he's
going to be on my phone so he won't witness this,
this embarrassment. Nathan Hakman is coming on at three o'clock
because tomorrow is Nathan Hawkman's first day on the job
as district Attorney's going to be sworn in I think
(01:48):
sometime tomorrow morning by Arnold Schwartzinger. So Nathan Hawkman's first day.
We are in the last hours of the gasconon era,
the Gascone wreckage.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
All right, let's go to.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Our guest here. We used to have him on frequently,
doctor John Eastman. He was the Dean of Chapman University's
School of Law and specializing in constitutional law, legal history,
and property. And then he joined the Trump legal team
right after, right around the twenty twenty election, and some
(02:23):
of his theories and strategies were used by Trump. It
was he had a plan under which Mike Pence would
block the certification of Biden's electoral college victory. I think
we know what happened since then, and Eastman has been
indicted in in these cases and we'll find out what
(02:43):
the where he is now legally. Let's get John Eastman
on how are you hey?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
John? How are you John?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I'm good? Uh So?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
What what is your legal status right now? Because I
know they were they were headed trying to dispar you.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Well, the California Bar Hearing Court has recommended disbarment. It's
a pretty outrageous decision, and we've appealed that they don't.
The bar court itself doesn't have authority to disbar or
even suspend my license. Only the Californias Supreme Court can
do that. So we'll see what happens in the intermediate
(03:23):
months and years while we get this case up to
the California Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And what now I know Jack Smith, the special prosecutor
is withdrawn. Is withdrawing the case in Washington, d C.
Were you part of that one as well? Because that was.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
I was described as an unindicted co conspirator in that case.
Even though the conspiracy charge is centered on a provision
of the statute that was part of the old mob
witness intimidation statute, it was preposterous to even suggest that
that statute applied, And the Supreme Court, in one of
(04:01):
the j six defending cases, said, this is not what
this statute is for. So Jack Smith had to drop
those charges anyway, and then he was still trying to
figure out a way to keep going against President Trump.
But now that President Trump's been reelected, he can't go
after the soon to be sitting president, all right.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So the only case that would remain that both Trump
and you are a target would be the state case
in Georgia where Trump was accused of trying to influence
the vote count with the best Georgia Secretary of State.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
That's what he was accused of. But I mean, they
continue to insist on this false characterization of that infamous
phone call. I mean, Trump did not ask Raffensburger the
Secretary of State to go make up eleven twelve hundred
votes so he would win. He said, we've identified about
one hundred and fifty thousand illegal votes. All you have
to do is find twelve thousand of them and I win.
(04:56):
Completely different take, and so the points on the left
and the narrative is just repeatedly false. The Washington Post
originally ran with that story, and they had the issue
a retraction once the actual transcript of the of the
phone call was produced, But everybody else keeps citing it
as if you know, Trump said go make up twelve
(05:16):
thousand votes for me so I can win. Now, are
you creayton falsehood?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Are you under indictment in the Georgia case?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I am, and also in Arizona, and we're you know,
fighting hard against both of these. These these are egregious
examples of what we now call law there, which is
the use of creative use of the criminal statutes or
the bar disciplinary processes to go after your political enemies.
It's it's Soviet style stuff. It's you know. Lorente Berea, famously,
(05:46):
he was the Stalin head of secret police, famously said
show me the man, and I'll show you the crime.
And what these guys are doing is scouring the statute
books to try and find something that they can pin
on Donald Trump and his teas borders so that people
will be shamed into silence or powered into silence. And
that's just not the crew. We are sure we're not
(06:08):
gonna sit silently while they do this.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
You know, it's difficult to track all these cases because
of the complexities. But did you do anything, in your eyes,
obviously beyond just give legal advice, even even if some
people thought it was hair brained and wrong and this
and that was it just giving legal advice that it costs,
So it was druving.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Legal advice, but also exercising my own free speech and
right to petition the government for redress of grievances constitutional rights.
There were lots of grievances about illegality in the twenty
twenty election, and we were asking elected officials to investigate.
And if the investigations proved that, in fact the illegality
(06:50):
it affected the outcome of the elections, it knew something
about it. That's a constitutional right every citizen in this
country has. And then and then giving legal advice even
even if people thought it was implausible. And you know, John,
I've been on your show long enough for you to
know that. You know, I have a view of the
Constitution that's based on original understanding that a lot of
(07:11):
my colleagues in the Lego Academy don't share. That doesn't
you know. I happen to be right at most of
those things. But even if I'm not, that doesn't make
it a criminal offense or disparable events to have a
difference of opinion about constitutional interpretation.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Do you think Trump is going to pardon you for
any federal problems you might have?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well take care of any like.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
It goes Yeah, the federal stuff looks like it goes
away with Trump coming in. Uh so, you know, no
pardoner necessary. And of course he doesn't have pardon power
over the state proceedings in Georgia or Arizona. Those proceedings
just need to be dismissed. We learned in Arizona, for example, recently.
Is this This hardline anti Trump activist group called States
(07:57):
United Democracy Center actually wrote to forty one page memo
outlining the way that the current attorney general in Arizona
could go after Trump and his supporters. This is preposterous
to be off boarding prosecute orial discretion to hyperpartisan groups.
And as a result of that, I think the case
(08:18):
is going to get dismissed as well. It should.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
And what are they accusing you of in Arizona?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Well, I mean, I had nothing to do with Arizona,
but they're accusing me of being part of a conspiracy
to have fake electoral votes sent to Washington, DC. You know,
even the indictment is full of of that talking point
narrative phrase. They weren't fake electors. They were contingent electors
based on the contingency of either litigation or legislative investigations
(08:48):
determining that somebody else had won the election, and if
they didn't meet and vote on the designated day, their
votes couldn't be counted even if it was later proved
that Trump had won the election. So this whole thing
is a concoct action to try and uh sign and
cower people away from raising questions about illegality and elections
we don't have. We don't have a free country if
(09:09):
we don't have free elections. It's pretty simple. And if
we're not allowed to talk about illegalities that occur in
the elections, did God help us?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
What about Biden pardoning Hunter, Well, you know, anybody that
believed his repeated statements that he would never pardon, but
Hunter is either naive or stupid.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I mean, of course, he was going to pardon them
the day after the election, if if if he if
he'd won, I mean, if he if he'd lost, and
and you know, the day before he leaves office, if
he went, I mean, he was, he was going to pardon.
And there's no and anybody that thought otherwise just doesn't
know who this guy is throughout his whole career. But
(09:54):
it's a very interesting thing now because now that he's pardoned,
he can't be criminally prosecuted. And by the way, the
criminal prosecutions for the tax, the tax evasion, and the
gun thing, those were designed to take the heat off
the real serious criminal charges, which is to pay the
play scandal that he was involved with with his father,
(10:17):
and they wanted to keep that one under the rug,
under wraps, and so they bring these, you know, kind
of more modest charges against them. Say see, we're going
after him too. Well, now that he's been pardoned for
everything he did for the last ten years, he no
longer has the ability to claim the fifth Amendment defense
for investigations, and he can be called as a witness,
(10:40):
he can be investigated, he can be subpoenaed, he can
be interviewed by the FBI under the new FBI Director
Cash Totel. And if he doesn't come clean on the
monies that was coming out of Ukraine or coming out
of China or coming out of Russia, ten percent of
which was going to the big guy, remember that conversation. Yeah,
(11:03):
if he doesn't come clean on it, then he could
be charged with obstruction of justice. And if he goes
under oath on a witness stand and lies about it,
he could be charged with perjury. So the pardon may
actually have been a boon to the incoming Trump administration
if they're interested in pursuing this massive scandal because Hunter
(11:24):
Biden could no longer say I assert the fifth I
don't have to testify. He can't do that when he's
no longer subject to prosecution.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
John Easpin, thank you for coming on again.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Oh it's my pleasure, John, good talking to me on
more often. There's a lots coming down the pike that
we should be talking about pretty regularly.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
We will, we will, thank you, John, John Eastman and
he's the former dean at Chapman University's Law school who
was involved in coming up with the legal strategy for
Trump when the twenty twenty election happened.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Is the short way to explain it.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from A six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Tomorrow is the Pastathon and we'll be on live from
one to four at Katerina's Club raising money for Katerina's
Club at Chef Bruno's Anaheim White House Restaurant. And tomorrow
you can bid well, actually you can bid now and

Go to Wendy's donate five dollars or more, you get
a coupon book where A fifteen dollars. And then tomorrow
all day the big Party KFIAM six forty dot com
slash Pastathon is where you could continue donating.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
To the great cast yeat Waite is going to be
so much fun. If you can show up in person,
you'll see John. He's playing dress up.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
It's going to be very cre like I'm a doll.
You know, we're going to us John up tomorrow. Yeah,
I'm like your personal Ken doll. Yes, you're John dollep.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Gavin newso God, we you know, we have a tremendous
amount of debt now in the state. Gavin Knew some
blue at one hundred billion dollar surplus, and so now
we have many billions of dollars a debt, and he
wants to waste twenty five million dollars for a special
legal defense fund to Trump proof California. He's asking the
(13:28):
state legislature to convene in a special session, in fact
that that is happening today, a special emergency session. He
wants them to approve twenty five million dollars of money
they don't have. We're we're in deficit spending here, and
he's do you know, do you know in the four
(13:51):
years that Trump was president, California's Department of Justice sued
Trump one hundred and twenty two times, spending forty two
million dollars on the lawsuits. And I don't know what.
I have no idea what the outcome of these lawsuits were.
(14:16):
So that's one hundred and twenty two lawsuits. Trump only
filed four lawsuits against the state, so it was one
twenty two to four, and three of them were over
sanctuary state laws. This is a tremendous, disgusting waste of money.
(14:44):
In the meantime, they don't want to help the federal
government enforce the immigration laws, and they want to resist
and they want to interfere with the enforcement of federal
immigration laws. And you should know this that there's nothing
Newsome or Karen Bass for that matter, can do about
(15:07):
immigration laws. They can choose not to assist, but they
can't stop the government. The federal government has absolute total
control over the border and any internal immigration policies. Like
every single time it goes before the Supreme Court, the
federal government wins. We have control, and it goes both ways.
(15:29):
If a state wants to be tougher than a federal policy,
it can't. States have lost those lawsuits, and if they
want to be more lenient or somehow interfere with a
federal immigration policy, they can't. And it seems clear that
(15:51):
they are going to send in a lot of the
immigration officers into the state and into Los Angeles, and
I think they're gonna use Los Angeles as an example
of who's in charge. And I think they're gonna show
Newsom who's in charge. But for Newsom to waste twenty
(16:13):
five million dollars on more stupid lawsuits just to prove
that he's the leader of the resistance. That's not what
we need. We're going to be paying an extra ninety
cents a gallon for gas next year. It's gonna cost
probably five point fifty for a gallon of gas. If
(16:35):
you're going to hold a special session, why don't you
hold a special session and remove a lot of those
taxes in fees that are sinking us in the oil industry.
That's where your responsibility should lie. Because we're paying two
dollars more a gallon of gas than most other states.
(16:55):
So you're gonna waste money on lawyers like the lawyers
don't have enough. In meantime, and I tell you where
it's going to hurt a lot of people, because there's
these back to work orders increase, where companies are telling
employees that you can't work at home anymore. You've got
to go back to the commute, and that's going to
be a huge expense for a lot of people. They're
(17:18):
going to come back to five point fifty a gallon
gas and it's entirely the governor's fault, entirely the fault
of the California Democratic Legislature.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
More coming up.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
There's a fascinating story in the USA today. Do you
know who's being called xenophone, xenophobic and racist now the
Mexican people, because it turns out, increasingly in the last
few years, the Mexicans are fed up with all the
illegal immigration in their country because there's been immigrants from
(17:55):
one hundred and seventy nations that have passed through.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Mexico to get to the US.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Not all of them pass all the way through, and
they're in Mexico and they're living there in public in
the streets. Some of them are being held by the
Mexican government depending on how much they wanted to help
out Joe Biden during the election cycle. And there's certainly
going to be more illegal immigrants held back in Mexico
(18:24):
now with Trump in power. But the Mexicans don't like
all the outsiders. And so there's this left wing organization
called ox Spam and they have done a study on
Mexicans feelings regarding immigration policy, and they found out that
(18:49):
the public is now increasingly racist and xenophobic.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Remember when it was Americans who are.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Racist and xenophobic because they wouldn't accept large quantities of
Mexican immigrants. Well, now the Mexicans are racist and di
xenophobic because they don't like who's coming into their country.
I don't think you know, people in government and in
the media don't understand that it's basic human nature to
want to be living amongst your own and are suspicious
(19:22):
of outsiders and people with differences. And if there's natural assimilation,
people can tolerate it. But when there's some overwhelming surge,
people are going to get angry. They don't want their
lives disrupted that way. It says here that in USA
today that Trump may be finding support in an unlikely
(19:45):
corner among Mexicans themselves. But the migration has changed. There's
now Central Americans, Haitians, Venezuelans, and then people from all
over the globe. And now you have seventy percent of Mexicans.
Seventy percent they say the migrant flows into their country
are excessive. More than half the respondents say migration has
(20:08):
a negative impact on the economy and on culture, or
at least there's nothing positive about it. Forty percent think
migration should be limited or prohibited. There's now flare ups
of violence all over Mexico because if you go to
Mexico City, they have a plaza right in the heart
(20:29):
of the historic center, and now there's people living in
the plaza. Migrants were living in the rain and filth
from their camping tents and makeshift lean tos. You know,
parts of Mexico City are really nice and wealthy, and
suddenly you have these migrants from god knows what countries,
(20:49):
and they were waiting for appointments at the US border,
or they were waiting for their chance to run across illegally.
If you went to this city, you found venezuelan Is
waiting in line for a free breakfast in a Catholic church,
Haitians speaking Creole or washing their children in the street,
(21:10):
and an Angolan woman was boiling a chicken over an
open fire right in the city plaza. I guess you
got little naked children getting washed by mom, and people
boiling chickens, and it says the Mexican neighbors who lived
near the plaza have grown frustrated anger boiled over. Earlier
(21:31):
this year, police had to respond to fights between locals
and Haitians. Two people got hurt. According to one analyst
at Rice University, people are supportive of immigration if immigrants
are in a shelter, locked away and don't affect their
day to day life. As soon as they feel there's
(21:51):
interference with their daily activities, then the underlying racism, prejudice,
and xenophobia become a parent. Boy, is that classic?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
You get?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
What is the name of this guy? I should name
him specifically.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
He's Tony Pyan, executive director for the Center for the
US and Mexico at Rice University.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
And this is the attitudes.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
No, we have the right here in US and Mexico
to live peacefully in our neighborhoods and not deal with
all the problems that poor immigrants bring in to a neighborhood.
We have no, we have no obligation to deal with it.
That is not our problem. And if we're happy with
(22:36):
the people who live in our neighborhood, for whatever reason,
you like diversity, you go live in a diverse neighborhood
you liked, you know, a single culture, you live in
that kind of neighborhood. But it's up to us, and
it's up to the Mexican citizens too. You can't force
people to deal with immigration and then immediately what's.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
The go to?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
What's the go to these people? Well, it's the triple
crown there. You're racist, you're prejudiced, and your xenophobic. Now
the Mexicans are bad people. They were good people yesterday,
but they're bad people today now they're acting like Americans. No,
it's because people want to live with their own kind
(23:18):
and not be force fed poor immigrants who don't have housing,
who don't have money, who don't have jobs and skills.
If you cram people like that into existing neighborhoods, you're
going to get nothing but pushback. It doesn't matter what
country you're in. This is going on in Europe too.
People in England are upset, Germany, Sweden, all over the place.
(23:43):
People don't want outsiders, and they don't want outsiders problems,
and they don't want to pay for outsiders problems. That's
entirely normal and natural, and it's only these educated idiots
at universities and in politics and in media. Yeah, who
insist Otherwise, of course, none of these people would take
(24:03):
in any of these immigrants. You think this guy at
Rice University is gonna take a woman in who's boiling
a chicken in a driveway.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
No, he's not.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
He'd called the police. There's such fakes, and there's such
phonies on top of it. So it turns out Mexico
is going through exactly the same thing that the United
States went through. I mean, it's the greatest irony in
the world. And you have a lot of Hispanic residents,
(24:32):
as we've found out here in the US, largely Mexican,
well Mexican, and they don't want the new immigrants coming
in either, and they don't want their jobs compromised. And
that's why you had such a huge Latino population voting
for Trump is they could see unchecked immigration is no
(24:54):
good because many of them were legal immigrants. And you're
gonna see Trump was an earthquake. You're going to see
more of these earthquakes. This whole era of open borders
and free immigration is over, and it looks like the
last dead enders are going to be politicians in California,
(25:14):
people like Newsom and Karen Bass. They're going to be
the last ones declaring sanctuary, the last ones filing lawsuits,
when much of the rest of the country, much of Mexico,
many of the Mexican immigrants in the US, are saying enough,
party's over, We're done. This policy is absurd, and who
(25:36):
do we have left? Newsom and Bass they don't know
that the war is over and they lost.
Speaker 5 (25:46):

One hundred percent of all donations go to Canarina's Club.
And that's tomorrow. The big fun We've been talking throughout
the show about Joe Biden, after denying over and over
and over again in his idiot press secretary Karine Jean Pierre,
denying and lying over and over again, Biden was never
(27:02):
was never going to pardon Hunter. No no, no, no, uh.
And this is worth playing. A compilation that we put
together first of Biden asking if he'd pardon Hunter, it's
pretty clear.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Let me ask you.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter
what it is.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yes? And have you ruled out a pardon for your son, Yes,
you have.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
I'm extremely proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome
an addiction. He is He's one of the brightest, most
decent men I know. And I am satisfied that I'm
not going to do anything I said. I advide by
the jury decision and I will do that and I
will not partner him.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
So three times we have on tape there and there
were others. He's not gonna garden Hunter. Then this is
great White House practiced. Serry Karein Press Secretary Kaarin John Pierre.
Listen to how many times she says no about the
pardon question. From a presidential perspective, is there any possibility
that the president would end up pardoning his son?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Well, I just said no.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
I just answered the President would not pardon or community
sentences for his son Hunter. I want to make sure
that that is not going to change over the next
six months. The President's say.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
It's still a no, It's still an it will always
be enough.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
It's still a no.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
It will be a no.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
It is a no.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
And I don't have anything else to add. People he
pardoned his son No.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
His son Hunter is also up for being sentenced next month.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Does the President have any intention of pardoning him?
Speaker 8 (28:48):
We've been asked that question multiple times.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Our answer stands, which.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
Is now President Biden says that if he's not going
to pardon his son Hunter, is he going to ask Donald.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Trump to do that.
Speaker 8 (28:59):
I don't have anything else to share about that.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
I'm not going to get to go down a rabbit
hole on this.
Speaker 8 (29:03):
I've been very clear. The President's been very clear when
we've been asked this question.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Do you don't how many times just in that little
montage that was less than a minute, nine times she
said no.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Nine times. I was wondering what you were doing with
that highlighter.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I was just doing hashbarks here, just counting the nose.
So she had to be asked about Biden now pardoning Hunter.
Let's hear Karie Jean Pierre again.
Speaker 9 (29:31):
You have said repeatedly yourself since the election, the President
has said for months, no pardon was coming.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Listen to this.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
I just I wanted to ask you. Could those statements
now be seen as lies of the American people? Is
there really credibility is you here given now this announcement.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
First of all, one of the things that the president
always believes is to be truthful to the American people,
something that he always truly believes. And if you see
the end of his I assume that you've read his
statement and you look at the end of that statement,
and he actually says that in the first line of
the last paragraph and respects the thinking and how the
(30:11):
American people will actually see this in his decision making.
What is she said, he would encourage everyone to this statement.
I think he lays out his thought process. He lays
out how he came to this decision. He came to
this decision this weekend. So let's be very clear about that.
He says it himself, it's in his voice. He said
(30:32):
he came to this decision this weekend, and he said
he wrestled.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
With us and because of the Justice Simpson.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
But he also believes that the war politics infected the
process and led to a miscarriage of justice.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
He actually committed these crimes. In fact, he pleaded guilty
to the tax charges. I mean, his son went before
the judge and pleaded guilty, and everybody wondered why he
did it, because he didn't negotiate a plea deal, which
presumably he would have gotten less jail time. Well, he
didn't do it because he knew his dad was going
to pardon him. And Biden and Biden's brother and Hunter
(31:16):
were all up to their necks in shady business deals
selling influence to Joe.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That's obvious.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
There's money hidden somewhere and they all profited from it.
That was the dirty family business. All right, we got
Conway coming up here.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Hey, no, hey, no, all right, we're back on the air.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
I think solong. Oh that's right.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
You weren't here last week, that's right. As a matter
of fact, somebody.
Speaker 10 (31:46):
Had texted me, they said, aren't you nervous to take.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
The day off?
Speaker 7 (31:52):
Like, oh, yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Scheduled thing.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
But we've got the big Catarina's Club is tomorrow. You're
gonna be down there, yes, Bill, It'll start with Amy
King and then Bill Handle Yeah, almost almost called her
Amy Pool, an old friend of mine, Amy King, then
Bill Handle, Gary and Shannon you yeah. And by the way,
(32:17):
that this is the first one without without your partner,
isn't it the second first or second first?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
First?
Speaker 10 (32:25):
Okay because he've retired shortly after, right, Caterina's Club, yes,
last year, and then uh, we'll come on, and then
Moe Kelly. So we're gonna raise a lot of money
at the White House in Anaheim, So come on down, man.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
That'd be great.
Speaker 7 (32:39):
And then we've got a guy came on coming on
named Adam.
Speaker 10 (32:41):
Schomer and his dad like secretly saved hundreds and thousands
and thousands of comics and they found him like in
a vault downstairs perfectly, uh, you know, with air conditioned
and and and in these drive vaults where they're all
pret detected by the elements. And this thing is worth
(33:02):
millions and millions, maybe tens of millions of dollars, and
so he's coming to come on to explain. Oh wow, yeah,
it's and he did a movie called Selling Superman that's
supposed to be great.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
So we'll get into.
Speaker 10 (33:13):
That a little bit of the Biden pardon. But I
think we all saw that coming. It wasn't a shocked No,
nobody was shocked. It's just fun to play the denials
over and over again. Yeah, it's nobody is shocked by
that kind of crap. You know, like if you were
the CEO of I don't know, pick a company, Taco Bell,
(33:34):
and you said for two years, I'm not going to
do this, I'm not going to do this, this, this, this,
and then you did it, they'd fire you for them.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah right, Well, in a way they have, I guess
they have. Yeah, he's on his way out.
Speaker 10 (33:47):
But but man, that was a sweeping pardon that covers everything.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yeah, everything, any crime he could have conceivably committed for
the last ten years.
Speaker 10 (33:57):
But it includes future crimes because if they had started
in that ten year period, they're including Yeah, so is
there any kind of bribes that were paid off in
the future as long as it started in that ten
year period, he's.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Anny business with Ukraine or China or anywhere else. Wow,
all that money that they they ran off with.
Speaker 7 (34:14):
Good to have a dad on top man. Yeah, man,
what a life.
Speaker 10 (34:17):
I'll bet I'll bet you anything that he went to
his dad and said, you're gonna pardon me or I'm
gonna start talking about our family business. How about that
happened and he might still Yeah, you know pay per view.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Kiways up, big dog.
