This is an I Heart podcast guaranteed human. Can't find am 640 you're listening to the John Cobalt podcast on the I Heart radio. If I am 640 live everywhere in the I heart radio. How are you? It's John Cobalt show. It's the third hour of this nonsense. And we are on every day from three to six after six. The podcast John Cobalt show on demand on the I heart. And we have built a salion of the first hour. About the voter fraud talk a little more about that later in this hour voter fraud. At a skid row. Wow. There's a novel a novel news story involving people who were paid tens of thousands of dollars to collect signatures for ballot initiatives. And they took existing voter records and they convinced vagrants who were whacked out on drugs to sign those.
Those voters signatures on the ballots. It was all fraud was of stolen information fraudulent ballot signing or referendum signing will explain it all coming up later in the hour. I was just looking on on Twitter and Rick Caruso. He could have been mayor for the last three and a half years. We wrote a little something on the fire in Brentwood yesterday near the Getty Center. Which by the time I was driving home was put out the fire department put it out very quickly. He said it was because 40 year old brush was on fire. So in the last 40 years, no government entity cleared out the brush next to the freaking Getty Center. What's wrong with these people? For all that we are the highest tax state in the nation. And after all the fires we've had.
Somehow they missed a spot. They missed a hillside right next to it because I. I saw the helicopter shots. The fire trucks were parked on the entrance road leading up to the Getty Center that big circle. As you approach it. I guess the and then take take the tram of the hill. 40 year old brush. That was the reason the Palisades bird so bad because Newsom. Never cut the brush on the state park land. Bass had never had the brush cut on the city on land. In addition to not having water in the hydrants and the reservoir being empty and all the rest sometimes I read over these stories again just to remind myself just how many things. And I was going to say how many things went wrong they don't go wrong.
They're purposefully neglected. So when something happens. Like a fire starts. And mostly fires are started because of arson and homeless people. We don't have anything to quickly put out the fire. Because we don't have reservoir we don't have fire hydrants we don't have brush cut we don't. Oh that was the other thing not only that wasn't in the news story yesterday that it was brush that admin gotten 40 years. It's interesting you know what was it in the news. What's the source of the fire. I'm betting $100 it was a homeless guy because his homeless guys live in all over those hill sites. And they have their encampments and they have their cooking grills. So is anybody in the idiot news media here now I'm interested in finding out the cause of the fire because yesterday they put it out pretty quickly. I think it was only about 25 acres because there was no wind the wind was virtually still.
And had we had Santa Ana wins. Then you might have had all the all the homes and all the forest areas. From the 405 East through Brentwood going back towards specific palisades that easily all could have burned. If you had like a 60 mile an hour wind like they had in the palisades a year and a half ago you could have had the same result that would have taken out because the evacuation area covered the whole area north of sunset from the 405 to a bungee drive. It could have been like a mirror image of the palisade situation then if the jump sunset take out all those homes and take out all the businesses south of sunset. Because again they didn't clear the brush and you know maybe a homeless person started it wasn't a homeless. I'm trying to think what would cause it was really hot yesterday heat by itself doesn't start a fire.
You have to have an igniter you need the spark. The heats and the dry conditions provide an environment for a fire to flourish. But hey we just had three quarters of an inch of rain over the weekend. So who started the fire. Exactly. They don't they don't put that newscast anymore when a vagrant starts a fire they don't mention it. Because vagrants start about 17,000 fires in the city. Do you think they run 17,000 news stories a year telling you that the fire on whatever street was started by a vagrant. No. They don't do 17,000. Vagrant starts to fight. Imagine if they did. Maybe people would wake up or the five people left paying attention to the news. When we come back. Linda they've had hotbed wrote an interesting piece today.
I have a Lindsey Clancy case the way it went could not have gone exactly that way in California. Because of one distinct difference in California law compared to Massachusetts law. And this jumped out at me because very rarely do you see a case where California is more strict on a murderer or trying a murderer than another state. But Massachusetts is actually much more likely to be a killer. And it's more strict on a murderer or trying a murderer than another state. But Massachusetts is actually much more likely to produce a Lindsey Clancy case than California when it comes to the insanity defense. And I was fascinated because usually in almost all categories we're more lenient than any other state in the union and most other countries. But in this case we're stricter than Massachusetts. And I'm sure they'll get rid of this provision.
So I'm sure the next whack job woman wants killer kids will get away with it because there's no way California legislators are going to tolerate this loophole for very long.

What would have what would Lindsey Clancy's murder trial had been like if it happened in California rather than Massachusetts. It turns out our law is significantly different how to deal with a murderous mother.
And he says it's a significantly tougher legal test. Here in California for somebody to pull off that kind of defense. Who knew California was tougher. I mean, it's a very limited way. It's mothers who off their children. So he concedes that Clancy was mentally ill when she killed her children. Depressed anxiety and some new paranoia suicidal thoughts. She spent time in a psychiatric hospital. She got to many healthcare providers took many medications. That's the thing. All these women they go to you. Well, it's time we have a conversation about an overlooked issue. Women's mental health. Women's mental health is one of the biggest medical industries out there. There's a lot of scam treatments. You know, if you're taking herbs and special oils to cure your mental problems,
that's not going to cut it. I don't, you know, some things, by the way, just aren't fixable. Even with all the medications out there, a lot of medications make things worse. Sometimes you just go crazy in life and you don't come back. Nobody wants to accept that though. You think there's always a magic pill or some magic therapy. It's like, no, it looks like you're going to be nuts. He says mental illness and legal insanity might sound like the same thing, but they're not. And this is really important. He says Nathan Hawkeman that a person can suffer from a severe psychiatric disorder, even if you're having hallucinations or delusions, and still be legally responsible for a crime. So, you know, Nathan Hawkeman is the LA County DA. He prosecutes the case. It's going to look different than the way they prosecute it in Massachusetts, because he's got a different law. In Massachusetts, a person is not criminally responsible. If because of a mental disease, she lacks the substantial capacity to know right from wrong or to obey the law.
So, Clancy's lawyers had two arguments. First, that the postpartum psychosis prevented her from understanding that killing her children was wrong, because she delusionaly believed she was protecting them or sending them to heaven. But there's a second argument they had, that even if some part of her understood the killings were wrong, if she was getting a hallucination or a psychotic episode of a voice, commanding her to kill her kids, and she couldn't control her contact, that could be a defense. And in California, that's not, they don't recognize that argument in California. The idea you have a hallucination, a voice, commanding you to kill your children. Under California law, you're only legally insane if a mental disease makes you incapable of understanding your actions. And California places the burden on the defendant to persuade jurors that they are legally insane.
Prosecutors in California do not have to prove sanity beyond a reasonable doubt. So in California, a defendant might be genuinely mentally ill or hallucinating or delusional and still be found legally sane if the jurors decide she understood what she was doing and knew was wrong. And of course, she did, because she asked her husband to get out of the house, go buy some medication and take out food, and she had already timed out how long the trip would take, and she killed the children one at a time, and then killed herself. So she planned it, she was aware it was wrong, that's why she got rid of her husband. She knew it was wrong, that's why she tried to kill herself. It was planned down to the minute. Now her attorneys would say that planning does not prove sanity.
A psychotic person can act methodically in pursuit of a delusion. And that's true, but you'd have to persuade the jury. Then again, you can't have a jury of silly women who apparently hate children. There seems to be, I don't know how many women now believe, because obviously a lot of people over time increasingly came to believe that it's okay to abort children up through the entire term of pregnancy. There are now some states where you can do that. You can abort the child through the entire nine months, and that became acceptable to a lot of women. And is this part of a woman's right to choose? That if you've had the children some months or several years, woman's right to choose to actually snuff them out if they're making you crazy. And I mean making you crazy in the generic sense, because there are so many women who are on the streets wearing pink, screaming,
and so many women online that I'm starting to wonder, is there been some kind of like, some kind of fundamental shift in how women look at motherhood? Because somebody wrote today, motherhood is a mother supposed to be the safest place for a child. You know, it's supposed to be dads who are the creeps. We're the violent ones, the dangerous ones. But now it seems that a lot of women believe that, no, if I'm not feeling right, or if I have the magic voice talking to me, you know, just consider it, you know, a very, very late abortion. The right to, you know what they said, the guy who held out in the jury, I read this today, actually did a demonstration in front of the other jurors, where he took a water bottle to represent the kids, and he took an exercise band and tightened the exercise band,
strangling the water bottle to show what was done, which you think would have had an effect on these, because they were cackling and giggling in these interviews. You've got to see the interviews on that local station up in Boston, and we see ten. They were giddy. I, something, you know, a lot of this comes from TikTok. A lot of people on TikTok started believing that the husband did it, which is preposterous. There's audio of the husband screaming and horror when he finds the kids. That's a coolest thing. I mean, TikTok people will believe anything that scrolls across their screen, because the people who grant TikTok, as well as Instagram, and all the other idiotic social media, they succeeded in ruining people's minds, hypnotizing and mesmerizing and brainwashing them,
and now they'll believe anything. More coming up. You're listening to John Cobalt on demand from KFI AM640. KFI AM640 live everywhere on the I Heart Radio app. John Cobalt show. And we are on from three until six, um, Moistline, eight seven, seven, moist 86. It's tomorrow. We have vacancies eight seven, seven, moist 86, or usually talk back feature on the I Heart Radio app. Gavin Newsom is getting investigated again. Um, he's like an investigation magnetic, because he is such a sleazy crook. Uh, now the federal election commission, the federal commission is investigating about tens of thousands of dollars of travel reimbursements reported by the governor's political action committee campaign for
democracy. And you're saying, well, why the federal commission? Well, he's running for president, but he would say that out loud. But you know, he went on a tour of the South. He went to Alabama and South Carolina, met with black political leaders, had some political rallies, and he's saying, no, no, no, I'm trying to help other, uh, democratic politicians. It's, uh, it's not about me. Well, the federal election commission is suspicious because if this is part of the presidential campaign, then he has to report the expenditures as such. Uh, the number, the amount of money he is spending on this non campaign is significant enough that, uh, because he's hired a lot of, uh, his political operatives from Sacramento, they've all gotten a promotion. They've all gotten a new job. Uh, since he's given up on being an active governor.
Uh, and so they're looking at certain categories of payments, a travel and event reimbursement, because federal disclosure rules may require campaigns to identify the businesses that get the money. Again, campaigns. He's running a campaign, but Slees bag won't admit to it. Uh, so they want the political action committee to provide all the missing information by October 6th, or explain why it's not required. And if they don't respond properly, they could risk that could result in an audit. The letter was sent to Analia Patterson, a former cabinet secretary in Newsom's office, who's the treasurer of the political action committee that he's going to use to finance his presidential run. And she's married to Newsom's current chief of staff, Nathan Baronkin. Well, that guy Nathan ought to be careful, because Newsom likes to sleep with the wives of his top, uh, AIDS.
Um, this political action committee has hired a number of current and former Newsom staffers. Well, he's hired them and transferred them to the political action committee. Uh, he went on, uh, a lot of travel, he went on a tour to sell his book. And I was, I was, I saw that that, you know, the book tour that he went on. I thought, how many books do he actually sell? This is a fascinating story. Uh, do you know anybody who read his latest biography, young man in a hurry? Do you know of someone who bought the book? And then told you, oh, I read Gavin Newsom's biography. It's really good. You should get it. I don't know anybody who did that. But for two weeks, it was on a bestseller list. And then it disappeared. And here's why it got on the New York Times bestseller list. Um, actually for three weeks.
First week, it wasn't there. And then his campaign, that political action committee I mentioned, started buying copies of the book. Listen to this. He sold allegedly 97,000 copies of the book. But 67,000 of those copies were through his political action committee. No one purchased that book. No individual. If you donated money to Newsom's campaign, even if you just donated a book, they sent you a book. 67,000 out of the 97,000 were purchased by his, basically his campaign to give to donors. As a thank you. Now, probably nobody who got that. Thank you. Read the book. So the true sales is 30%.
The true sales is less than a third of the published sales. But because that political action committee bought the book for a few weeks, it was on the New York Times bestseller list, nonfiction list. It was number four for the week of March 15th, then felt to number six, then number 15, and then it was off the list. And those were the weeks that the public action committee purchased the book so that they could go around saying, it's a New York Times bestseller. Well, it wasn't. Nobody wanted to read the damn thing. Why would you? I mean, if there are any microscopic tidbits that you might have a mild interest in, it made the news. So the book didn't sell at all. It's just a promotional. In fact, the New York Times was on to the scam. They actually put an asterisk next to Newsom's book sales.
They do that when the book sales mostly go to bulk purchases, like his campaign, like a political action committee. So even at the New York Times, they were onto the Newsom scam. And they put an asterisk next to his sales. And the asterisk basically means, look, people aren't actually buying the book. He's buying the book. His campaign is buying the book. But technically it is a sale. So yeah, okay, we'll put it on the list. But here's the asterisk and here's what it means, which I find really pathetic. The best seller, it makes them a bestseller though. And then he could use that to try to hype up. Oh, all the Americans interested in my story. Look at that. On the bestseller list again for a second week. I try to hype sales. That still didn't push many books. So it's, you know what, it's funny.
Kamala Harris didn't sell much more. God, she was on a lengthy book tour. No, but nobody. Well, I should take that back. I mean, Kamala Harris sold 385,000 Newsom sold 30,000. But I can't believe individual. That must have been more bulk sales too. It had to be there. You know, she runs for president. They'll be handing those out when you make a donation. Honestly, could you spend the weekend curled up going through in Gavin Newsom's pathetic life of lies? I'd like to give up fries to anybody who bought the book. I bet you're not a single person listening. I bought that book and read it. Nobody. Zero. Oh, I think people bought it. The women that love his hair. The same. The deputy dues. What did we do about those women?
They were the same women who were cheering for Lindsey Clancy too, I think. Deputy to, deputy to Gavin. Yeah, they did that cheer and then they ran out to stand on the road for Lindsey Glancy. We got to work coming up. Debra Mark. Were you in that deputy due chant? No, I wasn't. Yes, you were. No, I wasn't. It was you Morgan and Michelle. No, it wasn't me. Yes, it was. Yes, it was. I don't remember doing that. I made it. No, no, it was somebody else. No, it was you, Michelle and Morgan. Okay, you're going to have to ask Michelle that because I don't think I was part of that. I made it. I know, but I have no recollection of doing that. Doesn't mean it's not true. Play that again. Deputy to, deputy to Gavin. You love you. Maybe you're right. I know. I don't remember. Wow. John, we know we have. I have issues to mention. You were right about. I know. It's coming to pass. You don't remember standing in a room with Michelle and Morgan chanting that. That's like a once in a lifetime moment.
I do not. And that's scary. And not too long ago. Oh, they weren't all in the same room. I did the. Did individual recordings. No, I don't think so, Eric. I. You have to ask Michelle because I have a feeling with somebody else, not me. And if I. And if I'm wrong, I will admit it. I'm telling you you're wrong. I don't need to ask Michelle. All right, Teber Mark. Do you know why you're here? No, I forgot. What am I doing? Whatever news is in front of you there. You're listening. I'm going to be. I'm going to be.
I'm moving with them falling down and moving these boys. You know what I'm talking about. I'm not a, but I place a dance in like till July 10. It's. The movies work when I'm a joining us. It's up there. And then I get back to single inspired a lot of Ghea, four. The two. real voters, your name and your address. And they told the vagrants here, sign this person's name. And they would give the vagrants two or three dollars per signature to sign the name. These these signature gatherers, one, the leader of the group was James Brass from Victorville. He'd get $10 from a, uh, like a political action committee. Let's say to get the signatures to get this thing on the balance.
So he'd get $10. Then he'd get three bucks to the vagrant. The vagrant would use a name and an address given to him by Brass, who had taken it from public records. Brass got $42,000 to do this from whoever's sponsoring the referendum. Now Brass and two other people that he hired are all going to be going to trial. Are they going to have to plead to something because they committed a federal crime? Bill is sadly prosecuted it, but they went to skid row. Skid row, the same place where Nithya Rahman had that huge surge of fake votes from homeless people that the nonprofits had organized. So in that case, it's the nonprofits collecting fake ballots for the vagrants. In this case, it's James Brass collecting signatures from the vagrants using the names of
anybody, members of the public who are registered to vote. It's all going on at skid row. We talk about it in the first hour of the show. So that's what you want to hear on the podcast. Another scam story we did. We have more information on this is about this Julie Molina and Elisa Viejo. She's according to the Fed stole $411,000 from her kids high school football team. Yes. She was the treasurer for the booster group, the support group, you know, the parents put together fundraisers and well, she stole $400,000 and the FBI showed up at her house Thursday morning. She wanted to pay her mortgage and credit card bills. Cops were wearing flat jackets. They were carrying pistols. They had a bullhorn. They cuffed her, put her in the back of a sedan. She looked shocked, but she isn't charged of the money.
She goes signed the checks. She'd make the payments. She'd taken the dues, maintain the receipts, treasure her stuff. Well, along the way over the last few years, she wired $131,000 from this nonprofit through two federal reserve facilities in Jersey and Texas to an account in Santa Ana in order to pay her mortgage on her house. Now, when they first ran the story, it didn't mention, you know, that she had a husband or anything, but now California post says, yeah, there's a husband. He had just left the house before the FBI showed up. And he told ABC, yeah, no idea what was going on and was confused. FBI agents drove off of this wife. Now, California post looked at their Facebook page and it says, there's a lot of photos of tailgate parties, stunning beaches, tropical looking waters, poolside drinks under palm trees, frequent trips to new destinations.
So she'd run a big credit card bills. Now, he didn't know where the money was coming from. If they're going on all these vacations and having all these fun weekends, he wasn't aware. His name is Anthony Molina. Where is he faking the confused look? Why is the FBI over the house? So there have it a good time. He used to go to Sofie Stadium a lot. They wore Pittsburgh Steelers gear. And there's there's trips to various places, Disneyland outings, New York City. Now, she ran up big credit card bills and couldn't pay it off and they couldn't pay off. Well, if they're not, if they didn't afford the mortgage, he must have known about it. I don't. I mean, sometimes the wife handles the buddy, but really an extra $411,000. You've got to spend over the last few years.
Yeah, I, I can't believe he didn't know what was going on, but I suppose it's in his best interest to say, I didn't know what was going on. It's the Wolverines football club at least so Miguel High School. Never know, never know what your wife is up to. All right. We've got Conway coming in next. Michael Crosier has the news podcast to be released in a few minutes and we'll see you tomorrow. Oh, last call for the moist line too, 877, moist 86 for tomorrow.
