    Inside the Aggressive Mall Scam They Don't Want You to Know About

    This episode of the John Phillips Show is a must-listen for anyone who's ever been approached by a high-pressure salesperson at the mall. A consumer investigative reporter shares a shocking story about a company that's been scamming seniors out of thousands of dollars with its coercive sales tactics. The company, B & Co., has been operating under various names at malls across the country, including the Topanga Mall in Los Angeles. A developmentally disabled man, Victor Chisholm, was lured into spending tens of thousands of dollars on skincare products, leaving him with almost nothing. The reporter, Christine Lazar, went undercover to the store and experienced the same high-pressure sales pitch firsthand, paying $1,200 for a serum that promised to make her look decades younger. The conversation also touches on the responsibility of malls and corporations that rent space to these types of companies. The reporter believes that Westfield, the mall that hosts the B & Co. store, should be held accountable for allowing this predatory behavior to continue. The episode also explores the importance of consumer protection and the need for accountability in business practices. If you or a loved one has been a victim of this type of scam, the reporter wants to hear from you. Tune in to this episode to learn more about the story and the efforts to hold B & Co. accountable.

    Why Gavin Newsom HATES California’s New Wildfire Bill

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone following California politics. The speaker takes aim at Governor Gavin Newsom's latest move to help utility companies, specifically PG&E and SoCal Edison, avoid accountability for their role in starting devastating wildfires. The governor's plan would have limited the amount utility companies have to pay out to fire victims, but the California legislature stood firm and rejected it. The episode delves into the details of the proposed legislation and how it would have benefited the utility companies at the expense of fire survivors. The speaker also touches on the governor's motivations, suggesting that his focus on this issue may be tied to his presidential ambitions and the influence of big corporations in his campaign. The conversation also explores the broader implications of the governor's actions and the state's handling of the housing crisis. One of the most striking aspects of this episode is the speaker's critique of the governor's approach to the utility companies. The speaker argues that the governor's plan would have only served to further enable the companies' reckless behavior and put more people at risk. The conversation also highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency in the state's handling of the housing crisis. If you're interested in staying informed about the latest developments in California politics and the impact of the governor's decisions on everyday Californians, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's take on the situation.
