Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
How are you welcome?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
There's plenty today. I've been compiling stuff for five days
and we'll get to a fraction of it.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
That's why I want to start quickly.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
You can hear us from one to four every day,
and then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand
the podcast on the iHeart app. Whatever you missed, I mean.
One of the top stories, one of many, is Hunter
Biden getting the pardon from his dad Joe. After Joe
I don't know how many times he and his press
secretary publicly said no, he's not getting pardoned. No, no, no, no,
(00:42):
and no repeatedly. We're going to play you some montages.
It doesn't even cover all the times they denied he'd
ever get a pardon, but they did well. Hunter eventually
got it from Joe, and it starts with the tax
charges against him, the gun purchase. He violated federal law
(01:03):
purchasing a gun while he was knowingly a drug addict.
But then it was such a broad paced pardon. Nobody
has seen anything like this in decades. Let's talk to
Royal Oakes from ABC News the Legal Analyst, to talk
about all the detail, Royal, How.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Are you good?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Great, John, Yeah, you're right. It's super broad. It says
any federal offenses that Hunter may have committed in the
last decade basically from January one, twenty fourteen there gonzo,
including you know, murder or any other federal statute that
he might have violated. Now, of course, maybe he didn't
do anything other than the gun and the tax stuff,
(01:40):
but those aren't the only things that are wiped out.
And you know, John, one thing that was rattling around
in my head. You know, several weeks ago, after he
was convicted on the gun thing in Delaware, he pled guilty,
just flat out guilty, to the tax charges here in
Los Angeles. And he didn't say, hey, judge, let's wheel
and deal, let's have a plea bargain. He just I'm
pleading guilty, you know, you know, soak it to me
(02:02):
whatever sentence you want. I'm wondering if he kind of
knew that a pardon was coming, because nobody just pleads guilty.
They've always tried to reel and deal. Yeah, he must have, though,
very strange.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Nobody takes an open ended, unlimited sentence for a crime,
and he had fought those charges for so long.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah. Absolutely, you know, we literally missed a bet on this, John.
There are places like draft Kings and predicted, They take
all sorts of bets on political things. If you had
bet ten grand a month ago that there would be
no pardon, you would have won thirty five thousand dollars.
Those were the odds based on the fact that most
people in America thought there would be no pardon, so
(02:45):
that would have covered Christmas shopping. But that's gone now.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, well, only people who thought Joe Biden was telling
the truth about this whole case, and he never has
because he used to claim that he had absolutely no
knowledge of Hunter Biden's dealing, and then he claimed that
he was not ever personally present at these meetings, and
he was or he was there by phone, and he
(03:08):
absolutely knew what was going on. And that's why I
would think there's a blanket pardon because this pardon goes
back like twenty fourteen. I read that this goes back
to the first day that Hunter parton. Hunter Biden got
employment from Bearisma to be on their board.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh, you're absolutely right. And so any allegations about Ukraine
and Bearisma and all the funny business about you, Joe
with holding a billion dollars and that's gone any dealings
with China. Here's an interesting, unintended consequence. Because of the
broad nature of the pardon. Hunter can't take the Fifth
Amendment because you can only take the Fifth when somebody's
(03:46):
going to come after you, and nobody can come after
him for any federal crime. So if the Republicans we
are running committees and serving subpoenas, if they want him
to testify about foreign dealings and the Biden business and stuff,
he has to sing no Fifth Amendment as possible. And
who knows if they're going to go down that road.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
You know, I wondered if the Republicans would restart any investigations.
I mean, you know, Biden is in failing condition. He
might not even remember much of it. There is the
brother Jim Biden, and he supposedly was up to his
neck in these mysterious business deals with China, and you know,
Hunter was the point man. Hunter would go out and
(04:28):
do the negotiations, and you know, it seems like they
were selling access to Joe or favorable decisions from Joe
without ever explicitly saying so, they just made sure everybody
was aware that Joe was lurking in the background and
he was keeping track of the details.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And if Hunter does testify about all this murky, shadowy stuff,
and if he isn't telling the exact truth, he could
be in New hot Water legally for perjury or whatever.
And speaking of brothers, you know, probably an aid went
to Biden a while back and said, you know, mister president,
remember Bill Clinton on his last day in office to
pardon his brother Roger for cocaine distribution. So you know,
(05:10):
there's that president plus all the other pardons. You know,
Donald Trump pardoned Bannon and Roger Stone, Les Kushner.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, all he pardoned his son in law's.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Father, exactly right.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, so this is a tradition.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
It's very broad. I don't think anybody was surprised that
Biden kind of changed his mind and said, of course,
you know, I'm not going to have my son go
to prison for five years, and what is this going
to taint my legacy even more than it was already painted.
After June twenty seventh, the debate, No, I mean who cares.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yeah, he really, he really had nothing to lose. I mean,
this is going to get lost in the sea of
other disasters during his presidency. So it looks like a
done deal for ten years worth of activities. I mean
that means they're I mean they're not even going to
bother to investigate whatever else he involved in over the
(06:00):
last ten years. I mean it basically got away with
whatever it is. He got away with it. If they
did take money from Ukraine and China and they put
it in secret accounts all over the world, that's that's
all free and clear now.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Absolutely, And of course there are no exceptions because the
Constitution says federal law. It has to be federal law,
and it may not be impeachment. You can't get somebody
off of an impeachment the hook because some exceptions were
carved out by the founders. Most scholars say, well, there
are no other exceptions, like, for example, a president may
probably pardon him or herself because it's not listed as
(06:34):
an exception. And certainly there's no nepotism angle. There's no hey,
you can't pardon your family. So yeah, this is a
done deal nothing, I guess.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I guess in a way.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
That's what Joe is doing though, because if he's connected
to all these foul smelling business deals, you know, after
he's done his president, there would nothing stop investigators from
going after Joe and formally nailing down what the connections
were and whether Joe ended up being the recipient of
the money from China or Ukraine. But now he's protected herself.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah, sure, I mean Jim Jordan and the other folks
in the house, They've been struggling for years to nail
down the details and list the curtain and try to
show all sorts of international intrigue and I haven't been
able to do it. And now with a new Republican
Department of Justice, you could have revved up those investigations.
But you still may. But you can't get Hunter unless
he fudges on the testimony and transpurgery.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
All right, well, very good, Royal thanks for coming on
and explaining all that. Barrel Oaks from ABC News are
legal analyst. When we return, we're going to play you

Hunter and Joe saying no, and a compilation of Corin

Speaker 3 (10:55):
They wanted, they wanted to, They want they wanted to sown.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Make all right?
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Now?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
The Hunter Biden thing, what's really funny about this pardon
is he claims that he claims that this was an
unfair political prosecution. This was his Department of Justice that
went after Hunter Biden. His Department of Justice. When Trump
claims political prosecution, well it's Biden's doj But in this case,
(11:26):
Biden is claiming his own Justice department is going after
his son, and that has nothing to do with all
the terrible things that his son has, all the crimes
he's committed. I mean, what you have is an irresponsible, corrupt,
crack addict who's run a bach. I mean, Joe apparently
(11:47):
had had very little presence in his life. I guess
I don't know how any guy ends up with a
son that bad, that dishonest, that drug addicted, that that's
just just out of control, fothering children with strippers. I mean,
Joe must have had some role in this kind of disaster.
(12:09):
And he was dishonest till till till the very end
here until Joe gave him a pardon. I don't know
what Joe's guilty feeling guilty about, but man, that's just outrageous.
And Joe, of course, well, you know, the whole administration
and the media would amplify the lies Joe lied to
us about inflation, saying it wasn't there, it was just
(12:31):
transitory and passing, lied about the border being secure, right,
that the border was closed, it was secure that there
wasn't a problem. Uh, he lied about well, the whole
administration lied about him not having dementia. They also lied
when they said Kamala Harris was a competent candidate. I mean,
(12:52):
it was just it was just relentless. And again the
media amplified all this stuff. Boy, they they've all their
pants down around their ankles, don't they. They have been
completely exposed. I mean, the whole media circus is in
shreds now. Nobody believes anything they say and do. And
now I hear you know they're complaining. It's like, well,
(13:13):
all so those podcasts, those podcasts are putting out disinformation.
This is what media people are saying. This is the
political people around Biden are saying it. In the Democratic Party,
It's like, no, nobody's putting out disinformation. You lied like hell,
and people finally got fed up with it. They got
sick of it, and it's clear you lied. In fact,
I'll play a few lies right now now that you
brought it up. Here's a compilation of at least three
(13:37):
times when Biden was asked if he was going to
pardon Hunter.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Let me ask you, will you accept the jury's outcome,
their verdict, no matter what it is. Yes, and have
you ruled out a pardon for your son, Yes, you have.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
I'm extremely proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome
an addiction. 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 said, I advied by
the jury decision, and.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
I will do that and I will not partner him.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
That is from an ABC News interview with David Muir.
He said it again in Italy and said it again
in Ukraine. Vladimir Zelenski was there.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Now we have a compilation of all the times that
the White House Press Secretary Korean Jean Pierre said that
Biden would not pardon Hunter.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
From a presidential perspective, Is there any possibility that the
president would end up pardening his son?
Speaker 4 (14:45):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I just said no. I just answered the.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
President would not pardon or community sensors for his son Hunter.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I want to make sure that that is not going
to change for for the next six months.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
The President's say it's still it's still a no, it's
still an will always be out. It's still a no.
It will be a no. It is a no, and
I don't have anything else to add. People he pardoned
his son. No, his son Hunter is also up for
being sentenced next month.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Does the President have any intention of pardoning him.
Speaker 10 (15:17):
We've been asked that question multiple times. Our answer stands, which.
Speaker 11 (15:20):
Is, now President Biden says that he's not going to
pardon his son Hunter.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Is he going to ask Donald Trump to do that.
Speaker 10 (15:28):
I don't have anything else to share about that. I'm
not going to get and go down a rabbit hole
on this. I've been very clear, the President's been very clear.
When we've been asked this.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Question, We've been very clear. The President has been very clear.
The answer is no, no, no, no, no. They're such liars.
They're just such awful, horrible liars, and they constantly try
to take the high road criticizing Trump when they do this,
(15:57):
and everybody's onto it now, No nobody buys it stuff anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Le let's see this cut three.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Here is Curine Jean Pierre now being asked about Biden's part.
Speaker 11 (16:09):
You have said repeatedly yourself since the election, and the
President has said for months no pardon was coming. I
just I wanted to ask you could those statements now
be seen his lives from the American people? Is there
really credibility? Is you here given now this announcement.
Speaker 12 (16:24):
First of all, one of the things that the president
always believes is to be truthful to the American people
and is 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.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
What and what are you doing?
Speaker 12 (16:47):
And he respects the thinking and how the American people
will actually see this in his decision making. And I
would encourage everyone to read in full the President's statement.
I think he lays out his thought process.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
But button process, ladies, nobody rot if you.
Speaker 12 (17:02):
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 he came to this
decision this weekend. Sure, and he said he wrestled with
this and but his life in the justice of sun.
But he also believes that the war politics infected the
process and led to a miscarriage of justice.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
It's a jury trial on the taxes, I mean, not
on the taxes, on on the on the gun charge. Right,
it's a jury trial, he said, except the play the
first part of cut number one, where he says, I
accept what the jury says.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
Let me ask you, will you accept the jury's outcovery
del verdict no matter what it is?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (17:45):
You know what they have, all these denials and all
this they all this flatulence that comes out of their mouths,
and and after a while you forget. Wait a second,
wasn't it a jury trial. He's talking about Republicans in Congress,
he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Political vendetta. Is it's his own Department of Justice?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Well, it ended up actually being a jury trial, and
so the juror said that you're guilty. So it wasn't
Republicans and it wasn't the Department of Justice they brought
the case. But I guess the evidence must have been
overwhelming because he really was a drug addict while he
was trying to buy a gun, and that is a
federal that is federal law that he violated. And the
(18:23):
taxes he didn't pay the taxes, it's clear and by
the way, he got away with not paying taxes from
some years back, because they dragged out the investigation so
the statute of limitations would expire on some of the
early tax charges. He simply didn't abide by a whole
slew of laws. Oh and what else did I forget
about the big why his laptop?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Remember that?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
When the Post uncovered the laptop story, and there was
a lot of evidence on the laptop and all the
crazy things he was up to, all the pictures of
him laying in bed with hookers and puffing on crack
and crack pipes and so all naked, and and and
the New.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
York Post, the New York Post had their accounts.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Uh interfered with by Facebook and uh well and Twitter, remember,
and and it was difficult to find those stories through
social media. And that was done on purpose, at by
the request of the Biden administration.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I mean, it's just.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I just don't believe anybody about anything anymore done?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Had it all?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Right?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
More coming up? Deborah Mark? I believe her?
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Well, thank you important.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from kf I
AM six.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Forty round from one until four every day, and tomorrow
is Pastathon Day down at the Anaheim White House. Restaurant
chef Bruno, We're all going to be there now today.
I was into the impression that today was Nathan Hockman's
first day in office. I had asked several people and
they said December second. In fact, I think Nathan Hackman
(20:13):
told me it was December second. Well, it turned out
that it's December third. Sometime within the next twenty four hours,
Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to swear in Nathan Hockman on
the steps of the city I guess the City Hall
building downtown. I think that's where it's going to be.
And Gascone is done. We are in the final hours
(20:34):
of George Gascone and the boy. Remember remember a few
weeks ago there was this big hubbub. Jeff Bezos owns
the Washington Post, and he decided to overrule his editorial
board and not make a presidential recommendation, not support Kamala Harris,
which is what the board wanted to do. And he
(20:55):
said no. And there were all kinds of hissy fists
fits and people were resign And I read that like
two hundred and fifty thousand Washington Post subscribers canceled their
subscriptions because you know these are all wokeheads and they're outraged.
I don't think the Washington Post endorsem and Kamala Harris
(21:16):
would have made a difference. But this is the same
editorial board. Maybe it's a new editorial board, but I
guess they got the message from Bezos because they printed.
They published an editorial and it's by the whole board.
It's all the Wieners, not just one guy. And it's
(21:38):
entitled Lessons from George Gascon's failures as a Los Angeles
District Attorney. All the way over in Washington, d C.
The Washington Post wrote a long editorial on why Gascone
stunk so bad. We'll go through the five reasons they
(22:00):
and this may be the only time many of you
agree with the Washington Post editorial bark one thing.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
They pointed out.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
That all the West Coast woke prosecutors, the progressives, all
the big cities, they're gone. San Francisco, that guy was
gone two years ago. Oakland, Alameda County. Pamela Price, she
just got recalled. The other day, Chesabodeen had gotten recalled.
In San Francisco. The Portland District Attorney is gone. The
(22:30):
Seattle District Attorney is gone, and now LA District Attorney
Gascon is gone. Nathan Hackman whipped him by twenty points.
So that's five of the biggest cities on the West Coast,
five progressive prosecutors, all dumped in the street. They go
on to the five main reasons, and number one is
(22:54):
that Gascon never recovered after getting off on the wrong
foot with nearly one thousand deputy das. Minutes after taking
office in December of twenty twenty, he issued far reaching
and sometimes unrealistic edicts formulated with academics during the transitions.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Academics should be.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Banned from ever having any part in formulating government policy.
Academics have advanced degrees, but functionally they are idiots. They
are fools, pump foonds of the worst sort because they're
full of themselves. They're arrogant, but they have never applied
their ideas to real life.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
They don't study real life.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
They study theoretical, theoretical concepts and bogus statistics. And I
don't think academics should be anywhere near any candidate for
anything because we actually put into practice these academic ideas
and look what happened at Los Angeles. Everybody suffered. Everybody's
(24:04):
living in fear. So who needs this crowd? I would
I would take four construction I would take a half
dozen construction workers who don't speak English, and I bet
you'd get way more common sense out of them how
to deal with criminals that whatever this academic crowd is.
And I'd like to know the names of these guys
if they were gascones. At first, I read of this
(24:25):
that he had in like some kind of academic advisory
panel to construct all his knutball theories, which you know,
makes sense because he doesn't seem that bright in person.
When I've heard him speaks, He's kind of a duller
with his stupid Kermit the Frog voice. And I didn't
really understand where all this crap was coming from. Number Two,
(24:48):
restricting sentencing enhancements made it harder to keep the worst
offenders off the streets.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Boy, was this a whopper?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Gascone thinks that adding extra time to someone's sentence if
they committed a crime with a gun or as a
gang member is the biggest driver of mass incarceration. Well, good, Yes,
if you're a gang member and you use a gun
to commit a crime, you should They should all be
mass incarcerated. They should all be incarcerated and never let out.
(25:19):
I never ran into a person who thought gun criminals
and gang members should be dealt with leniently. I never
met that person. Oh, I know, there's probably a small
contingent of these woke progressives members of the Democratic Socialists
of America Party, you know, that crowd that's slowly taking
over the LA City Council. But what the hell of
(25:43):
course you want mass incarceration for violent criminals. Why wouldn't
you What do you think is going to happen when
you let them out? Well we saw what happened, all right.
You had your experiment. That was a failure. Number three
Gascon directed that juveniles could not be charged as adults,
no matter how egregious their crimes. They have one example,
(26:06):
We've talked about this recently. A seventeen year old girl,
member of the Crypt Street gang brutally murdered two men.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Just to do it.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
They release her after only a few years, and police
arrested her again for another murder. She's a That girl's psycho.
There are psychotics amongst us, and there is no curing them,
there's no rehabilitating them. I don't want to hear that
word anymore. I don't want to hear about rehabilitation. Most
(26:37):
of them don't get rehabilitated.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
They do not.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
That is a failed science. That is just nonsense. It's
a wishful thinking. Oh here's one number four getting from
the Washington Post. Under gascone, the DIA's office filed misdemeanor
cases about half as often as Jackie Lacy.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
See.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
I didn't need to read this in the Post. I
could tell with my own eyes. Of course, they weren't
prosecuting misdemeanor cases. You know what, the misdemeanors. They weren't
prosecuting drug possession, public intoxication, and trespassing. Oh wow, that
would describe about seventy thousand homeless people. Some are stumbling
around the streets. Yeah, drug possession, intoxication, and trespassing. They
(27:23):
all should have been prosecuted. Every time he saw a
drunk staggering around or a drug addict face down.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
On the sidewalk.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
The posts that had created a sense of disorder on
the streets, no kidding. They could see that from Washington, DC,
that we had a sense of disorder here. It also
removed an incentive for people with mental health issues and
addiction to seek help. Well, of course he did. There
were no consequences, So why wouldn't they just keep drinking
(27:54):
too much and abusing drugs and breaking into people's homes
and backyards and eventually if they got worked up enough
on their meth they would kill.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
And none of that.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
See, if you crack down on the misdemeanors, a lot
of other crime takes care of itself. You have to
harass the crap out of these people. Arrest them every
day if you have to. Eventually they'll, at the very
least they'll move on. Maybe they'll go get rehabilitated. Number
five Gascone over read his mandate.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
What this mandate business?
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Ultimately, most Angelino's accept even expect longer periods of incarceration
for dangerous criminals, longer than Gascon and his fellow travelers
believe necessary. Progressive prosecutors who prevailed following George Floyd's murder
in Minneapolis mistakenly believed that the public fully subscribed to
their broader vision and would accept the consequences of more leniency.
(29:00):
What is the point of leniency if there are far
more crimes committed and there's more victims, and there's more
stuff stolen, and there's more people living in theory and
more people getting physically attacked. There's only two ways to
go with this. Either are lenient and you have a
lot more crime and violence, or you're strict and you
have a lot less. That has never changed since the
(29:21):
beginning of mankind. All their phony bologne cycle babble that
you get from academics on rehabilitation is one hundred percent nonsense.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It's nonsense. And he created this fake.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Industry of fake rehabilitation experts made up of all these
eggheads in universities with their looney tuned degrees. None of
them are based in reality, none of it. We had
the big experiment, had it in La San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Oakland.
(29:54):
We had all the academic experiments. We followed all their
crazy ideas, all the progressive policy sees failed miserably, every
policy in every city for four years now, all because
one criminal was murdered by a cop in Minneapolis. And
that was supposed to create a new template on how
humanity works humanity and you learned this. Once you have toddlers,
(30:20):
people will get away with as much as they can
get away with period, and if there's no consequences, then
you will get more and more bad behavior. It works
on little, tiny children, it works on teenagers, it works
on adults.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
At the office, you don't have any.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Bosses enforcing rules, you're not gonna get much done.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Look what happened when people stop showing up for work?
What do they do?
Speaker 3 (30:48):
They don't have to show up for work. They go
around bicycling all day. That's what happens.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Six John Cobell Radio on social media. We're trying to
get to twenty thousand followers by the end of the year.
I don't know what it is about this time, but
I feel like I'm I got sucked into a time warp.
We've been going through the Menendez brother's case recently, and
now the John Benet Ramsey case from nineteen ninety six
(31:21):
is back in the news.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
I watched that documentary what do you yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I guess that's what ignited this.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
The same as the Menenda's brothers.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yep, is it another Netflix thing?
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Is Netflix in charge of the justice system? So well,
John Manda Ramsey was this very cute little girl. Oh
my mom had entered her in beauty pageants and she
was really about stunning a what was she six?
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Six years old?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Six years old?
Speaker 3 (31:49):
And she was found dead in nineteen ninety six, strangled.
I believe it was made to look like she was strangled.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
And then hit on the head. You know, there was
They weren't sure what came first.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
This is another one of these cases that we covered
obsessively at the time and now I'm trying to remember
all the details. And they never found the killer. There
was a lot of funky behavior by the parents. There
was a ransom note found and it looked like it
was in the mother's handwriting. The dad packed everybody up
(32:23):
and went off to George. I think everybody moved away.
There was an older brother I think was maybe eleven
at the.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Time when she died.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
He was nine nine nine, yes, and so people were
looking funny at him when he was a little kid.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
You know.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
There was occasionally some weirdo in the neighborhood would later
on claim all that was me, but nobody believed him.
Now they're going to be focusing on the DNA technology
and Alex Stone from ABC News will be coming on
the show in right after two o'clock to tell us
what the latest is on this. Now, we we've talked
about these some of these women who are very angry
(33:04):
that Trump got reelected. Last week we had the screaming women.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
In fact, Eric, if you could find the screaming women again.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
And then we had the women who shaved their heads.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Yes, what about the women that wear off men?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Yes, but you know, again, there's not a whole lot
of market for bald, angry women.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I don't know if that's a fetish site.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
I was gonna say some people may like that.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
I don't know of any guy that wants a bald,
angry woman yelling, screaming.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
That's not very arousing.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
That would be tough to anyway. There's here, here's another category,
these current New York Post. These are women who are
getting sterilized and blaming up because they fear a reproductive
rights crackdown under a second Trump administration, which is the
first nonsense. There's a there's a there's a woman named
(34:16):
Edith Exorra. She's twenty five years old and she's an
OnlyFans model.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
And they said they were they were gonna undergo these sterilizations.
They're gonna have a bilateral salpjectomy, a procedure in which
Eden's tubes will be removed, not just tied up, but
they're gonna be taken out and they'll be permanently sterilized.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Now, I.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Mean, if you're absolutely sure you don't want the kids
for the rest of your life, but you might meet somebody.
You might meet somebody who's into bald women screaming, and
they're gonna want your hair back.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
You can grow your hair, beck stop screaming.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
But maybe he's gonna want to have kidskids and then
finds out why I can't have kids. Why can't you
have kids? Well, I had my fallopian tubes removed because
I was angry about Trump. And I'm telling you, I
don't think the guy's going to stick around.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
You know.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
I don't want to generalize about this, She says, for
the idea, the idea to me of getting pregnant is
worse than death. I'm doing what I can to protect
my right to choose. I am choosing me. Well, you
probably shouldn't reproduce. In fact, I think the world would
be better off of all these people didn't get married,
didn't have sex didn't reproduce. Here's another thirty nine year
(35:35):
old woman who got the procedure. I mean, they're mutilating themselves,
They're mutilating their internal organs. Thirty nine year old said
she felt she had no choice after the election results.
I'm not happy they felt forced into a surgery. I
did not want to alter my body. I feel like
the election tied my hands and forced me to be sterilized.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
That is horrible. Well, none of that's true.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
I mean, there are plenty of states that you can
you can get an abortion.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
If you want. Let me see.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Another woman said, I paid way too much attention to
the vitrio that Trump repeatedly spit during his previous term,
keenly ware of the people he heaps around him and
in his ear, who all seemed to see women as
incubators and possessions to subjugate. What is she talking about.
(36:31):
Here's another one with Trump's victory, who quickly learned that
my choice to cancel the surgery had been taken from me.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Did they not read? Did they?
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Did they not read the Supreme Court decision? Well, each
state get gets to choose what the abortion laws are
going to be.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Period. That's the way it goes, and so that's what
you have.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
You have fifty states choosing in different ways for different
outcomes because there was no there was no right in
the original Constitution about this matter. And in those cases,
every state is free to choose whatever path they want.
It's probably good they don't reproduce. I think some genetic
(37:13):
lines should come to an end when we come back.
Alex Stone. Oh, the John Benet Ramsey case.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
It's back.
Speaker 6 (37:20):
Seriously, I can't believe we still don't know who the
killer is after all these years.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
It's mind boggling.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
I've always suspected family members.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
I don't see it.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
What kind of noise I know?
Speaker 5 (37:36):
I just I mean, the parents seem to adore her.
Why why are you going to kill your six year
old daughter?
Speaker 3 (37:42):
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.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
How are you welcome?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
There's plenty today. I've been compiling stuff for five days
and we'll get to a fraction of it.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
That's why I want to start quickly.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
You can hear us from one to four every day,
and then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand
the podcast on the iHeart app. Whatever you missed, I mean.
One of the top stories, one of many, is Hunter
Biden getting the pardon from his dad Joe. After Joe
I don't know how many times he and his press
secretary publicly said no, he's not getting pardoned. No, no, no, no,
(00:42):
and no repeatedly. We're going to play you some montages.
It doesn't even cover all the times they denied he'd
ever get a pardon, but they did well. Hunter eventually
got it from Joe, and it starts with the tax
charges against him, the gun purchase. He violated federal law
(01:03):
purchasing a gun while he was knowingly a drug addict.
But then it was such a broad paced pardon. Nobody
has seen anything like this in decades. Let's talk to
Royal Oakes from ABC News the Legal Analyst, to talk
about all the detail, Royal, How.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Are you good?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Great, John, Yeah, you're right. It's super broad. It says
any federal offenses that Hunter may have committed in the
last decade basically from January one, twenty fourteen there gonzo,
including you know, murder or any other federal statute that
he might have violated. Now, of course, maybe he didn't
do anything other than the gun and the tax stuff,
(01:40):
but those aren't the only things that are wiped out.
And you know, John, one thing that was rattling around
in my head. You know, several weeks ago, after he
was convicted on the gun thing in Delaware, he pled guilty,
just flat out guilty, to the tax charges here in
Los Angeles. And he didn't say, hey, judge, let's wheel
and deal, let's have a plea bargain. He just I'm
pleading guilty, you know, you know, soak it to me
(02:02):
whatever sentence you want. I'm wondering if he kind of
knew that a pardon was coming, because nobody just pleads guilty.
They've always tried to reel and deal. Yeah, he must have, though,
very strange.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Nobody takes an open ended, unlimited sentence for a crime,
and he had fought those charges for so long.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah. Absolutely, you know, we literally missed a bet on this, John.
There are places like draft Kings and predicted, They take
all sorts of bets on political things. If you had
bet ten grand a month ago that there would be
no pardon, you would have won thirty five thousand dollars.
Those were the odds based on the fact that most
people in America thought there would be no pardon, so
(02:45):
that would have covered Christmas shopping. But that's gone now.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, well, only people who thought Joe Biden was telling
the truth about this whole case, and he never has
because he used to claim that he had absolutely no
knowledge of Hunter Biden's dealing, and then he claimed that
he was not ever personally present at these meetings, and
he was or he was there by phone, and he
(03:08):
absolutely knew what was going on. And that's why I
would think there's a blanket pardon because this pardon goes
back like twenty fourteen. I read that this goes back
to the first day that Hunter parton. Hunter Biden got
employment from Bearisma to be on their board.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh, you're absolutely right. And so any allegations about Ukraine
and Bearisma and all the funny business about you, Joe
with holding a billion dollars and that's gone any dealings
with China. Here's an interesting, unintended consequence. Because of the
broad nature of the pardon. Hunter can't take the Fifth
Amendment because you can only take the Fifth when somebody's
(03:46):
going to come after you, and nobody can come after
him for any federal crime. So if the Republicans we
are running committees and serving subpoenas, if they want him
to testify about foreign dealings and the Biden business and stuff,
he has to sing no Fifth Amendment as possible. And
who knows if they're going to go down that road.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
You know, I wondered if the Republicans would restart any investigations.
I mean, you know, Biden is in failing condition. He
might not even remember much of it. There is the
brother Jim Biden, and he supposedly was up to his
neck in these mysterious business deals with China, and you know,
Hunter was the point man. Hunter would go out and
(04:28):
do the negotiations, and you know, it seems like they
were selling access to Joe or favorable decisions from Joe
without ever explicitly saying so, they just made sure everybody
was aware that Joe was lurking in the background and
he was keeping track of the details.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And if Hunter does testify about all this murky, shadowy stuff,
and if he isn't telling the exact truth, he could
be in New hot Water legally for perjury or whatever.
And speaking of brothers, you know, probably an aid went
to Biden a while back and said, you know, mister president,
remember Bill Clinton on his last day in office to
pardon his brother Roger for cocaine distribution. So you know,
(05:10):
there's that president plus all the other pardons. You know,
Donald Trump pardoned Bannon and Roger Stone, Les Kushner.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, all he pardoned his son in law's.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Father, exactly right.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, so this is a tradition.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
It's very broad. I don't think anybody was surprised that
Biden kind of changed his mind and said, of course,
you know, I'm not going to have my son go
to prison for five years, and what is this going
to taint my legacy even more than it was already painted.
After June twenty seventh, the debate, No, I mean who cares.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yeah, he really, he really had nothing to lose. I mean,
this is going to get lost in the sea of
other disasters during his presidency. So it looks like a
done deal for ten years worth of activities. I mean
that means they're I mean they're not even going to
bother to investigate whatever else he involved in over the
(06:00):
last ten years. I mean it basically got away with
whatever it is. He got away with it. If they
did take money from Ukraine and China and they put
it in secret accounts all over the world, that's that's
all free and clear now.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Absolutely, And of course there are no exceptions because the
Constitution says federal law. It has to be federal law,
and it may not be impeachment. You can't get somebody
off of an impeachment the hook because some exceptions were
carved out by the founders. Most scholars say, well, there
are no other exceptions, like, for example, a president may
probably pardon him or herself because it's not listed as
(06:34):
an exception. And certainly there's no nepotism angle. There's no hey,
you can't pardon your family. So yeah, this is a
done deal nothing, I guess.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I guess in a way.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
That's what Joe is doing though, because if he's connected
to all these foul smelling business deals, you know, after
he's done his president, there would nothing stop investigators from
going after Joe and formally nailing down what the connections
were and whether Joe ended up being the recipient of
the money from China or Ukraine. But now he's protected herself.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah, sure, I mean Jim Jordan and the other folks
in the house, They've been struggling for years to nail
down the details and list the curtain and try to
show all sorts of international intrigue and I haven't been
able to do it. And now with a new Republican
Department of Justice, you could have revved up those investigations.
But you still may. But you can't get Hunter unless
he fudges on the testimony and transpurgery.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
All right, well, very good, Royal thanks for coming on
and explaining all that. Barrel Oaks from ABC News are
legal analyst. When we return, we're going to play you
montages of Joe Biden asking if he pardoned his son
Hunter and Joe saying no, and a compilation of Corin
John Pierre, that wacky Press secretary repeatedly saying, no, Joe
(07:51):
Biden's not going to pardon hunt.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
That is all ahead. It's very fun.
Speaker 4 (07:55):

You know what embarrasses my family?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
I know, I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Did your son say something at Thanksgiving about it? One
of my sons suggested he's going to change his name.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
So I think your wife is going to kill me.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
They wanted, they wanted to, They want they wanted to sown.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Make all right?
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Now?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
The Hunter Biden thing, what's really funny about this pardon
is he claims that he claims that this was an
unfair political prosecution. This was his Department of Justice that
went after Hunter Biden. His Department of Justice. When Trump
claims political prosecution, well it's Biden's doj But in this case,
(11:26):
Biden is claiming his own Justice department is going after
his son, and that has nothing to do with all
the terrible things that his son has, all the crimes
he's committed. I mean, what you have is an irresponsible, corrupt,
crack addict who's run a bach. I mean, Joe apparently
(11:47):
had had very little presence in his life. I guess
I don't know how any guy ends up with a
son that bad, that dishonest, that drug addicted, that that's
just just out of control, fothering children with strippers. I mean,
Joe must have had some role in this kind of disaster.
(12:09):
And he was dishonest till till till the very end
here until Joe gave him a pardon. I don't know
what Joe's guilty feeling guilty about, but man, that's just outrageous.
And Joe, of course, well, you know, the whole administration
and the media would amplify the lies Joe lied to
us about inflation, saying it wasn't there, it was just
(12:31):
transitory and passing, lied about the border being secure, right,
that the border was closed, it was secure that there
wasn't a problem. Uh, he lied about well, the whole
administration lied about him not having dementia. They also lied
when they said Kamala Harris was a competent candidate. I mean,
(12:52):
it was just it was just relentless. And again the
media amplified all this stuff. Boy, they they've all their
pants down around their ankles, don't they. They have been
completely exposed. I mean, the whole media circus is in
shreds now. Nobody believes anything they say and do. And
now I hear you know they're complaining. It's like, well,
(13:13):
all so those podcasts, those podcasts are putting out disinformation.
This is what media people are saying. This is the
political people around Biden are saying it. In the Democratic Party,
It's like, no, nobody's putting out disinformation. You lied like hell,
and people finally got fed up with it. They got
sick of it, and it's clear you lied. In fact,
I'll play a few lies right now now that you
brought it up. Here's a compilation of at least three
(13:37):
times when Biden was asked if he was going to
pardon Hunter.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Let me ask you, will you accept the jury's outcome,
their verdict, no matter what it is. Yes, and have
you ruled out a pardon for your son, Yes, you have.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
I'm extremely proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome
an addiction. 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 said, I advied by
the jury decision, and.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
I will do that and I will not partner him.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
That is from an ABC News interview with David Muir.
He said it again in Italy and said it again
in Ukraine. Vladimir Zelenski was there.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Now we have a compilation of all the times that
the White House Press Secretary Korean Jean Pierre said that
Biden would not pardon Hunter.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
From a presidential perspective, Is there any possibility that the
president would end up pardening his son?
Speaker 4 (14:45):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I just said no. I just answered the.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
President would not pardon or community sensors for his son Hunter.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I want to make sure that that is not going
to change for for the next six months.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
The President's say it's still it's still a no, it's
still an will always be out. It's still a no.
It will be a no. It is a no, and
I don't have anything else to add. People he pardoned
his son. No, his son Hunter is also up for
being sentenced next month.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Does the President have any intention of pardoning him.
Speaker 10 (15:17):
We've been asked that question multiple times. Our answer stands, which.
Speaker 11 (15:20):
Is, now President Biden says that he's not going to
pardon his son Hunter.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Is he going to ask Donald Trump to do that.
Speaker 10 (15:28):
I don't have anything else to share about that. I'm
not going to get and go down a rabbit hole
on this. I've been very clear, the President's been very clear.
When we've been asked this.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Question, We've been very clear. The President has been very clear.
The answer is no, no, no, no, no. They're such liars.
They're just such awful, horrible liars, and they constantly try
to take the high road criticizing Trump when they do this,
(15:57):
and everybody's onto it now, No nobody buys it stuff anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Le let's see this cut three.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Here is Curine Jean Pierre now being asked about Biden's part.
Speaker 11 (16:09):
You have said repeatedly yourself since the election, and the
President has said for months no pardon was coming. I
just I wanted to ask you could those statements now
be seen his lives from the American people? Is there
really credibility? Is you here given now this announcement.
Speaker 12 (16:24):
First of all, one of the things that the president
always believes is to be truthful to the American people
and is 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.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
What and what are you doing?
Speaker 12 (16:47):
And he respects the thinking and how the American people
will actually see this in his decision making. And I
would encourage everyone to read in full the President's statement.
I think he lays out his thought process.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
But button process, ladies, nobody rot if you.
Speaker 12 (17:02):
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 he came to this
decision this weekend. Sure, and he said he wrestled with
this and but his life in the justice of sun.
But he also believes that the war politics infected the
process and led to a miscarriage of justice.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
It's a jury trial on the taxes, I mean, not
on the taxes, on on the on the gun charge. Right,
it's a jury trial, he said, except the play the
first part of cut number one, where he says, I
accept what the jury says.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
Let me ask you, will you accept the jury's outcovery
del verdict no matter what it is?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (17:45):
You know what they have, all these denials and all
this they all this flatulence that comes out of their mouths,
and and after a while you forget. Wait a second,
wasn't it a jury trial. He's talking about Republicans in Congress,
he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Political vendetta. Is it's his own Department of Justice?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Well, it ended up actually being a jury trial, and
so the juror said that you're guilty. So it wasn't
Republicans and it wasn't the Department of Justice they brought
the case. But I guess the evidence must have been
overwhelming because he really was a drug addict while he
was trying to buy a gun, and that is a
federal that is federal law that he violated. And the
(18:23):
taxes he didn't pay the taxes, it's clear and by
the way, he got away with not paying taxes from
some years back, because they dragged out the investigation so
the statute of limitations would expire on some of the
early tax charges. He simply didn't abide by a whole
slew of laws. Oh and what else did I forget
about the big why his laptop?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Remember that?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
When the Post uncovered the laptop story, and there was
a lot of evidence on the laptop and all the
crazy things he was up to, all the pictures of
him laying in bed with hookers and puffing on crack
and crack pipes and so all naked, and and and
the New.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
York Post, the New York Post had their accounts.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Uh interfered with by Facebook and uh well and Twitter, remember,
and and it was difficult to find those stories through
social media. And that was done on purpose, at by
the request of the Biden administration.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I mean, it's just.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I just don't believe anybody about anything anymore done?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Had it all?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Right?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
More coming up? Deborah Mark? I believe her?
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Well, thank you important.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from kf I
AM six.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Forty round from one until four every day, and tomorrow
is Pastathon Day down at the Anaheim White House. Restaurant
chef Bruno, We're all going to be there now today.
I was into the impression that today was Nathan Hockman's
first day in office. I had asked several people and
they said December second. In fact, I think Nathan Hackman
(20:13):
told me it was December second. Well, it turned out
that it's December third. Sometime within the next twenty four hours,
Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to swear in Nathan Hockman on
the steps of the city I guess the City Hall
building downtown. I think that's where it's going to be.
And Gascone is done. We are in the final hours
(20:34):
of George Gascone and the boy. Remember remember a few
weeks ago there was this big hubbub. Jeff Bezos owns
the Washington Post, and he decided to overrule his editorial
board and not make a presidential recommendation, not support Kamala Harris,
which is what the board wanted to do. And he
(20:55):
said no. And there were all kinds of hissy fists
fits and people were resign And I read that like
two hundred and fifty thousand Washington Post subscribers canceled their
subscriptions because you know these are all wokeheads and they're outraged.
I don't think the Washington Post endorsem and Kamala Harris
(21:16):
would have made a difference. But this is the same
editorial board. Maybe it's a new editorial board, but I
guess they got the message from Bezos because they printed.
They published an editorial and it's by the whole board.
It's all the Wieners, not just one guy. And it's
(21:38):
entitled Lessons from George Gascon's failures as a Los Angeles
District Attorney. All the way over in Washington, d C.
The Washington Post wrote a long editorial on why Gascone
stunk so bad. We'll go through the five reasons they
(22:00):
and this may be the only time many of you
agree with the Washington Post editorial bark one thing.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
They pointed out.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
That all the West Coast woke prosecutors, the progressives, all
the big cities, they're gone. San Francisco, that guy was
gone two years ago. Oakland, Alameda County. Pamela Price, she
just got recalled. The other day, Chesabodeen had gotten recalled.
In San Francisco. The Portland District Attorney is gone. The
(22:30):
Seattle District Attorney is gone, and now LA District Attorney
Gascon is gone. Nathan Hackman whipped him by twenty points.
So that's five of the biggest cities on the West Coast,
five progressive prosecutors, all dumped in the street. They go
on to the five main reasons, and number one is
(22:54):
that Gascon never recovered after getting off on the wrong
foot with nearly one thousand deputy das. Minutes after taking
office in December of twenty twenty, he issued far reaching
and sometimes unrealistic edicts formulated with academics during the transitions.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Academics should be.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Banned from ever having any part in formulating government policy.
Academics have advanced degrees, but functionally they are idiots. They
are fools, pump foonds of the worst sort because they're
full of themselves. They're arrogant, but they have never applied
their ideas to real life.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
They don't study real life.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
They study theoretical, theoretical concepts and bogus statistics. And I
don't think academics should be anywhere near any candidate for
anything because we actually put into practice these academic ideas
and look what happened at Los Angeles. Everybody suffered. Everybody's
(24:04):
living in fear. So who needs this crowd? I would
I would take four construction I would take a half
dozen construction workers who don't speak English, and I bet
you'd get way more common sense out of them how
to deal with criminals that whatever this academic crowd is.
And I'd like to know the names of these guys
if they were gascones. At first, I read of this
(24:25):
that he had in like some kind of academic advisory
panel to construct all his knutball theories, which you know,
makes sense because he doesn't seem that bright in person.
When I've heard him speaks, He's kind of a duller
with his stupid Kermit the Frog voice. And I didn't
really understand where all this crap was coming from. Number Two,
(24:48):
restricting sentencing enhancements made it harder to keep the worst
offenders off the streets.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Boy, was this a whopper?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Gascone thinks that adding extra time to someone's sentence if
they committed a crime with a gun or as a
gang member is the biggest driver of mass incarceration. Well, good, Yes,
if you're a gang member and you use a gun
to commit a crime, you should They should all be
mass incarcerated. They should all be incarcerated and never let out.
(25:19):
I never ran into a person who thought gun criminals
and gang members should be dealt with leniently. I never
met that person. Oh, I know, there's probably a small
contingent of these woke progressives members of the Democratic Socialists
of America Party, you know, that crowd that's slowly taking
over the LA City Council. But what the hell of
(25:43):
course you want mass incarceration for violent criminals. Why wouldn't
you What do you think is going to happen when
you let them out? Well we saw what happened, all right.
You had your experiment. That was a failure. Number three
Gascon directed that juveniles could not be charged as adults,
no matter how egregious their crimes. They have one example,
(26:06):
We've talked about this recently. A seventeen year old girl,
member of the Crypt Street gang brutally murdered two men.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Just to do it.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
They release her after only a few years, and police
arrested her again for another murder. She's a That girl's psycho.
There are psychotics amongst us, and there is no curing them,
there's no rehabilitating them. I don't want to hear that
word anymore. I don't want to hear about rehabilitation. Most
(26:37):
of them don't get rehabilitated.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
They do not.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
That is a failed science. That is just nonsense. It's
a wishful thinking. Oh here's one number four getting from
the Washington Post. Under gascone, the DIA's office filed misdemeanor
cases about half as often as Jackie Lacy.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
See.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
I didn't need to read this in the Post. I
could tell with my own eyes. Of course, they weren't
prosecuting misdemeanor cases. You know what, the misdemeanors. They weren't
prosecuting drug possession, public intoxication, and trespassing. Oh wow, that
would describe about seventy thousand homeless people. Some are stumbling
around the streets. Yeah, drug possession, intoxication, and trespassing. They
(27:23):
all should have been prosecuted. Every time he saw a
drunk staggering around or a drug addict face down.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
On the sidewalk.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
The posts that had created a sense of disorder on
the streets, no kidding. They could see that from Washington, DC,
that we had a sense of disorder here. It also
removed an incentive for people with mental health issues and
addiction to seek help. Well, of course he did. There
were no consequences, So why wouldn't they just keep drinking
(27:54):
too much and abusing drugs and breaking into people's homes
and backyards and eventually if they got worked up enough
on their meth they would kill.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
And none of that.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
See, if you crack down on the misdemeanors, a lot
of other crime takes care of itself. You have to
harass the crap out of these people. Arrest them every
day if you have to. Eventually they'll, at the very
least they'll move on. Maybe they'll go get rehabilitated. Number
five Gascone over read his mandate.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
What this mandate business?
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Ultimately, most Angelino's accept even expect longer periods of incarceration
for dangerous criminals, longer than Gascon and his fellow travelers
believe necessary. Progressive prosecutors who prevailed following George Floyd's murder
in Minneapolis mistakenly believed that the public fully subscribed to
their broader vision and would accept the consequences of more leniency.
(29:00):
What is the point of leniency if there are far
more crimes committed and there's more victims, and there's more
stuff stolen, and there's more people living in theory and
more people getting physically attacked. There's only two ways to
go with this. Either are lenient and you have a
lot more crime and violence, or you're strict and you
have a lot less. That has never changed since the
(29:21):
beginning of mankind. All their phony bologne cycle babble that
you get from academics on rehabilitation is one hundred percent nonsense.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It's nonsense. And he created this fake.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Industry of fake rehabilitation experts made up of all these
eggheads in universities with their looney tuned degrees. None of
them are based in reality, none of it. We had
the big experiment, had it in La San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Oakland.
(29:54):
We had all the academic experiments. We followed all their
crazy ideas, all the progressive policy sees failed miserably, every
policy in every city for four years now, all because
one criminal was murdered by a cop in Minneapolis. And
that was supposed to create a new template on how
humanity works humanity and you learned this. Once you have toddlers,
(30:20):
people will get away with as much as they can
get away with period, and if there's no consequences, then
you will get more and more bad behavior. It works
on little, tiny children, it works on teenagers, it works
on adults.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
At the office, you don't have any.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Bosses enforcing rules, you're not gonna get much done.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Look what happened when people stop showing up for work?
What do they do?
Speaker 3 (30:48):
They don't have to show up for work. They go
around bicycling all day. That's what happens.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Six John Cobell Radio on social media. We're trying to
get to twenty thousand followers by the end of the year.
I don't know what it is about this time, but
I feel like I'm I got sucked into a time warp.
We've been going through the Menendez brother's case recently, and
now the John Benet Ramsey case from nineteen ninety six
(31:21):
is back in the news.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
I watched that documentary what do you yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I guess that's what ignited this.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
The same as the Menenda's brothers.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yep, is it another Netflix thing?
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Is Netflix in charge of the justice system? So well,
John Manda Ramsey was this very cute little girl. Oh
my mom had entered her in beauty pageants and she
was really about stunning a what was she six?
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Six years old?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Six years old?
Speaker 3 (31:49):
And she was found dead in nineteen ninety six, strangled.
I believe it was made to look like she was strangled.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
And then hit on the head. You know, there was
They weren't sure what came first.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
This is another one of these cases that we covered
obsessively at the time and now I'm trying to remember
all the details. And they never found the killer. There
was a lot of funky behavior by the parents. There
was a ransom note found and it looked like it
was in the mother's handwriting. The dad packed everybody up
(32:23):
and went off to George. I think everybody moved away.
There was an older brother I think was maybe eleven
at the.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Time when she died.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
He was nine nine nine, yes, and so people were
looking funny at him when he was a little kid.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
You know.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
There was occasionally some weirdo in the neighborhood would later
on claim all that was me, but nobody believed him.
Now they're going to be focusing on the DNA technology
and Alex Stone from ABC News will be coming on
the show in right after two o'clock to tell us
what the latest is on this. Now, we we've talked
about these some of these women who are very angry
(33:04):
that Trump got reelected. Last week we had the screaming women.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
In fact, Eric, if you could find the screaming women again.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
And then we had the women who shaved their heads.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Yes, what about the women that wear off men?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Yes, but you know, again, there's not a whole lot
of market for bald, angry women.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I don't know if that's a fetish site.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
I was gonna say some people may like that.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
I don't know of any guy that wants a bald,
angry woman yelling, screaming.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
That's not very arousing.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
That would be tough to anyway. There's here, here's another category,
these current New York Post. These are women who are
getting sterilized and blaming up because they fear a reproductive
rights crackdown under a second Trump administration, which is the
first nonsense. There's a there's a there's a woman named
(34:16):
Edith Exorra. She's twenty five years old and she's an
OnlyFans model.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
And they said they were they were gonna undergo these sterilizations.
They're gonna have a bilateral salpjectomy, a procedure in which
Eden's tubes will be removed, not just tied up, but
they're gonna be taken out and they'll be permanently sterilized.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Now, I.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Mean, if you're absolutely sure you don't want the kids
for the rest of your life, but you might meet somebody.
You might meet somebody who's into bald women screaming, and
they're gonna want your hair back.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
You can grow your hair, beck stop screaming.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
But maybe he's gonna want to have kidskids and then
finds out why I can't have kids. Why can't you
have kids? Well, I had my fallopian tubes removed because
I was angry about Trump. And I'm telling you, I
don't think the guy's going to stick around.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
You know.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
I don't want to generalize about this, She says, for
the idea, the idea to me of getting pregnant is
worse than death. I'm doing what I can to protect
my right to choose. I am choosing me. Well, you
probably shouldn't reproduce. In fact, I think the world would
be better off of all these people didn't get married,
didn't have sex didn't reproduce. Here's another thirty nine year
(35:35):
old woman who got the procedure. I mean, they're mutilating themselves,
They're mutilating their internal organs. Thirty nine year old said
she felt she had no choice after the election results.
I'm not happy they felt forced into a surgery. I
did not want to alter my body. I feel like
the election tied my hands and forced me to be sterilized.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
That is horrible. Well, none of that's true.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
I mean, there are plenty of states that you can
you can get an abortion.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
If you want. Let me see.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Another woman said, I paid way too much attention to
the vitrio that Trump repeatedly spit during his previous term,
keenly ware of the people he heaps around him and
in his ear, who all seemed to see women as
incubators and possessions to subjugate. What is she talking about.
(36:31):
Here's another one with Trump's victory, who quickly learned that
my choice to cancel the surgery had been taken from me.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Did they not read? Did they?
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Did they not read the Supreme Court decision? Well, each
state get gets to choose what the abortion laws are
going to be.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Period. That's the way it goes, and so that's what
you have.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
You have fifty states choosing in different ways for different
outcomes because there was no there was no right in
the original Constitution about this matter. And in those cases,
every state is free to choose whatever path they want.
It's probably good they don't reproduce. I think some genetic
(37:13):
lines should come to an end when we come back.
Alex Stone. Oh, the John Benet Ramsey case.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
It's back.
Speaker 6 (37:20):
Seriously, I can't believe we still don't know who the
killer is after all these years.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
It's mind boggling.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
I've always suspected family members.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
I don't see it.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
What kind of noise I know?
Speaker 5 (37:36):
I just I mean, the parents seem to adore her.
Why why are you going to kill your six year
old daughter?
