1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI A M six forty on demand.

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: It's talk about Demand, the I Heeart radio app. I'm

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: Chris Merrill. Thanks for being uh, Mark, I heard your

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: story there about Dolly.

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 3: That's what a relief. I actually have some some of

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 3: the audio from her, uh from her Instagram. I know

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 3: you had some of it, but I've got I've got

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 3: a little bit extended version.

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: You want to hear it? Yeah? Please, we can't lose Dolly. No,

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: I know, I know We've been through enough.

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 3: Right, we lost James Earl Jones, We've lost Betty White,

12
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: Bob Barker recently, and Dick Van Dyke of course in

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 3: Clint Eastwood.

14
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 2: And that some of those are still with us. I believe.

15
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: Oh you lose Robert Redford though, right, he is still dead. Yeah,

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: finger on the pulse on that one.

17
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: Good, very good. And then Dolly, I'm kidding no matter

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: what you do, don't shout in me at her. That's

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: one of those movies from the seventies that I actually

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: do know. So my kid knows almost every single line

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: from that movie. That means you raised him, right, Yeah,

22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: you're the best parent in the world. Yeah, thank you.

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: You raised him, right, you did you did that? So

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 3: Sam is in with us tonight. Of course he was

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: there with the Conway as well. Of course Mark steps

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: in and Richie is helping me put everything together today.

27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 3: Richit a while since you and I got together. Yeah,

28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: but here we are. I know, I was a lot excited.

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: Richie sent me a Texas morning he says, hey, I'm

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: gonna help you today, and yes, got you?

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: Got you Richie? What sid? And then of course we.

32
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: Got this breaking news about the firebug that got arrested

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: for the Palisades fire. The press conferences just dip into

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: a little bit of what was happening. With the press conference.

35
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: What stood out to me was the chat GPT stuff.

36
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: That's from his chat ChiPT uh.

37
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 4: That's an image he produced a few months before the

38
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 4: fire started. It shows shows a city being burnt there.

39
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 4: The allegations are further supported by the defendant cell phone,

40
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: his false statements to law enforcement, and his behavior during

41
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 4: the Lochman fire, which defendant is charged with maliciously starting

42
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 4: shortly after midnight on New Year's Day of this year,

43
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 4: and which eventually became the Pala States fire.

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 3: Okay, so they've got a ton of evidence on this guy. Right,

45
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: They've got the GPS, they've got DNA, they've got all

46
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: kinds of things, and so they charged him with starting

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: a fire, destruction of property.

48
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: They're probably gonna tack some more stuff on there.

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: There are a few aspects of the story that really

50
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 3: jump out at me. First is that it sounds like

51
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 3: he started the fire. The fire department was called, and

52
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 3: then they put the fire out, but then it wasn't

53
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: all the way out, right, So the Lockman fire was

54
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: the first one in it.

55
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: They caught that on New Year's Day.

56
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: And the fire department got it and I went, okay,

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: clear to the scene, and then I think they went

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: back to it and they went, yep, everything's good, We're

59
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 3: all good. And then a week later, the smoldering turns

60
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: into the fire that of course destroyed so many places

61
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 3: and then claimed the lives of a dozen people.

62
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: Horrific.

63
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: I have already heard from some people and I see

64
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 3: their point, but I can't get on board. They say

65
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: this guy shouldn't be charged with murder. They're talking about

66
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 3: throwing murder charges on this guy. They he shouldn't be

67
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: charged with murder because the fire department didn't do their jobs.

68
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: Is the refrain.

69
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: I'm not on board with that. I just I can't

70
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: get on with that. And let me explain. I want

71
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: you to imagine that you are. You've got a loved

72
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: one who's in a bad car accident. And let's say

73
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: that they've got internal injuries and they are rushed to

74
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: the er. Right they're in this car accident. Let's say

75
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: a drug driver hit him. Pow drunk driver hit him.

76
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 3: Happens all to often in our country. Your loved one

77
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: is rushed to the hospital. They've got internal injuries. They're

78
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 3: immediately taken into surgery. The surgeon gets in there, stops

79
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 3: the bleeding, is able to mend the innards of your friend,

80
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: and then they are in ICU for a day or two.

81
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: They come out of ICU, they're improving, they're looking good,

82
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 3: you're running tests, you're doing everything that you need to do.

83
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: And the doctor says, I'm gonna let you go home

84
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: and recover from home after this, And so your loved

85
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 3: one goes home. It feels like they really, you know,

86
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: they got a miracle. And then once they're home three

87
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: days later, suddenly they spike a fever and they get

88
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 3: the chills and they start turning pale, and you call

89
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: an ambulance, and the ambulance comes and they go, oh,

90
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: his blood oxygen is low, and he's he's got this

91
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 3: problem and that problem. And so they put your loved

92
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: one in the in the back of the rig and

93
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: they haul into the hospital and by the time they

94
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: get there, your loved one is lost. Come to find out,

95
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: your loved one died from complications of those internal injuries.

96
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: Is it the drunk driver's fault or is it the

97
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: surgeon's fault. Most of us would say the surgeon did

98
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: the very best that they could, and tragic things happen.

99
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 2: That's just the way life goes, and it sucks.

100
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: But had that drunk driver not gotten behind the wheel,

101
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: none of this would have happened. So who's responsible for

102
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 3: the death of your loved one, The surgeon or the

103
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: drunk driver. And that's my analogy on this fire. So

104
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 3: you've got a guy who started the fire. He and

105
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 3: our analogy is the drunk driver, Okay, did something intentionally risky,

106
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 3: dumb should have known.

107
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: Better, YadA, YadA, YadA.

108
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: And then the fire department comes and they put it

109
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: out and they do what they're supposed to do, and

110
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: then they're off to try to help the next place

111
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: that's catching fire because now wildfire season is year round,

112
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: so the fire department is off to the next fire

113
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: that they're trying to douse. A week later, we find

114
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: out that there was smoldering, that smoldering catches, and then

115
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 3: it turns into this horrific, horrific blaze that is still

116
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: the fault of the guy that did wrong to begin with.

117
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: So I can't get on board because I'm hearing a

118
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 3: lot of people that are saying, you know this, this

119
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 3: is a really complicated story because you know, this guy,

120
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 3: he didn't start a fire that killed anybody because the

121
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 3: fire department put it out.

122
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: No, no, no, he started that fire.

123
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: The fact that the fire didn't get put completely out

124
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 3: is irrelevant. He started it. This wasn't a lightning strike,

125
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: This wasn't it. He started the fire, period, So allegedly,

126
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 3: if in fact this is the guy, which it looks

127
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 3: like it is, but even if it's not, it's somebody else,

128
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 3: it's still that person's fault.

129
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: It's not the fire department's fault.

130
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: That's not to say that we don't need to evaluate

131
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: best practices.

132
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: It's not to say that the surgeon.

133
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: Can't learn from whatever happened to your loved one so

134
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: that the next time it's better. Right, there's nothing that

135
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 3: says we can't learn from what happened. But as far

136
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: as his accountability and responsibility goes, it's the dude that

137
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 3: started the fire.

138
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: That's it.

139
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: I just I can't fathom any other way around it.

140
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: There is something else, though, and it's a sin that

141
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: we commit. Media and I would say law enforcement does

142
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: this too. So they talked about the chat GPT image

143
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 3: that he created. In fact, I think Fox eleven was

144
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 3: talking about it too. Here's a Fox eleven was reporting.

145
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: Everybody of course was reporting on this, right.

146
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 5: And they were saying, they really don't want to get

147
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 5: into motive too much, but they do believe that this

148
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 5: is someone who was really into fire.

149
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: He obviously, they're saying, had that.

150
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 5: Chat GPT image generating that fire, showing people fleeing from it.

151
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 5: This was a few months before this fire actually started.

152
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 5: And then they're also saying that he was listening to

153
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 5: that French rap song that also talked about fire as well.

154
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 5: So definitely something that they're going to be continuing to

155
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 5: look into.

156
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: Okay, from that, I don't know about you, but I

157
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: the obvious this fire was a direct result of the

158
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 3: French French rappers, absolutely, and and I think we need

159
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: to hold all of them accountable.

160
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: So it was more of a flambay.

161
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 6: Ugh.

162
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: Okay, your welcome guy was fascinated by fire.

163
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: I mean it would stand to reason, right if in

164
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: fact this is the but this whole thing like, well

165
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 3: they found images of fires. So okay, maybe paused for

166
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 3: just a second, because Mark, you've written lots of uh,

167
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: graphic novels, right, comic books?

168
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you, Oh god, thank you so much. Oh god.

169
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 3: I hate a pretentious a hole every time I have

170
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: to say it's not a comic book, it's a graphic novel.

171
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: Shut up. Comic is. Comic book is less pretentious.

172
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 3: It's what they are when when you jam them together

173
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 3: into like a bound volume.

174
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: You can call them whatever you want. I don't care,

175
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: yeah whatever.

176
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 3: But the fact is is that there are there are

177
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 3: action sequences.

178
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: And so.

179
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 3: Now we're going to say, well, they were fascinated by

180
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: this art. That means that they definitely did this crime.

181
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 3: Stop right right. I hope you never watched Beavis and

182
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: butt Heead and there ye butt heead it was it, Oh,

183
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: it's Beavis, the one who.

184
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: Says fire fire, Okay, right right.

185
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on people, let's just let's just dial it back,

186
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: just dial it back and be like, can you believe

187
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 3: that he did this? And of course you know the

188
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: police are going to say we found this. It's more

189
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 3: reason not to question our work. And media is like, oh,

190
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: look at this guy, he did this thing. But and

191
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 3: again it looks like they have plenty of other evidence

192
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 3: pointing to this particular Florida man, which, by the way, Florida,

193
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: don't export your Florida man crap to us. Please keep

194
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: your Florida man stuff to yourself. But do you remember

195
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: Richard Jewel the nineteen ninety six Olympic bombing.

196
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: Of course Richard Jewel. He was a security guard that had.

197
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 3: Access and when they raided his house they found pornography,

198
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: and everybody, oh.

199
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: Well, he obviously was the bomber because that guy had porn.

200
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: Come on on, come on, I just I don't like that.

201
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 3: I don't like it. What other chat GPT images did

202
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: he have? Was it only fire when you walked into

203
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: his room? Was it just a shrine to arson? Or

204
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: did he did you find an example of him making

205
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 3: this this this picture, which could have been quite easily

206
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: for his own personal graphic novel. He's a Florida man,

207
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 3: He's very elite, of course. Come on, I just I

208
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 3: can't get on board with this stuff. I just can't.

209
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 3: I can't do it. There's my uh, there's my hot

210
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: takes for today. Uh hot take. I see what you

211
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 3: did there, Thank you, hot take about it. I'm glad

212
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: you caught it. Nice work on.

213
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: That, thank you.

214
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 3: Uh did you happen to see the unforced error by

215
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 3: Katie Porter today?

216
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: I've been reading about it.

217
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Like how to sink a gubernatorial campaign

218
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 3: in one easy step?

219
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: That is next.

220
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,840

00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,719

Speaker 3: talk listen anytime on demand the iHeart Radio App.

225
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: So, Katy Porter.

226
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: Sat down with CBS and she was doing an interview,

227
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: and CBS is interviewing everybody that is looking to be

228
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: a governor, and they were asking her questions like, what

229
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: do you say about this? And then when she would

230
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: say something, they did a follow up and here's what

231
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: we know about Katie Porter.

232
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: Now, do not ask Katie Porter questions.

233
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 7: She does not approve redistricting. What do you think of

234
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 7: the governor's plan?

235
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 8: I support the governor's plan.

236
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 7: What do you say to the forty percent of California

237
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 7: voters who you'll need in order to win, who voted

238
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 7: for Trump?

239
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 8: How would I need them in order to win?

240
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 6: So?

241
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 7: Well, unless you think you're going to get sixty percent

242
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 7: of the vote, you think you'll get sixty vers all,

243
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 7: everybody who did not vote for Trump will vote for you.

244
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 8: That's what you're thinking a general election?

245
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, First of all, slight error by the interviewer.

246
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 3: She should have said you may need to win rather

247
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: than you will need to win. But just the same,

248
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: Katie Porter was not prepared to say I will work

249
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 3: across the aisle. Hey, what is it that every candidate

250
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 3: says when they're running from I will work across the aisle?

251
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: Katie Porter repeat after me, I will work across the aisle.

252
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 3: I will work even if you don't mean it, I

253
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 3: will work across the aisle.

254
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 9: If it is me versus a Republican, I think that

255
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 9: I will win the people who did not vote.

256
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 8: For What if it's you versus another Democrat? I don't

257
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 8: intend that to be the case. Same.

258
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a jungle primary, so it absolutely could

259
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: be the case. What do you mean I don't intend

260
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 3: for that to be a case. I don't intend for

261
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: that to be the case.

262
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 7: But what so, how do you not intend that to

263
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 7: be the case?

264
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 8: Do you do?

265
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 6: You?

266
00:12:58,800 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 8: Are you going to ask them not to run?

267
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 9: No, I'm saying I'm going to build the support. I

268
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 9: have the support already in terms of name recognition, and

269
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 9: so I'm going to do the very best I can

270
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 9: to make sure that we get through this primary in

271
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 9: a really strong position. But let me be clear with you.

272
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 9: I represented Orange County. I represented a purple area. I

273
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 9: have stood on my own two feet and one Republican

274
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 9: votes before. That's not something every candidate and this race

275
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 9: can say. If you're from a deep blue area, if

276
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 9: you're from LA or you're from Oakland, you don't have

277
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 9: an experience, then you don't need those Trump voters.

278
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, port you should have given that answer

279
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: to start with.

280
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 9: You asked me if I need them to win. So

281
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 9: you don't think like this is unnecessarily argumentative?

282
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 8: What is your question?

283
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 7: The question is the same thing I asked everybody that

284
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 7: this is being called the empowering voters to stop Trump's

285
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 7: power graph. Every other candidate has answered this question.

286
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 8: Is it's not argument I said, I support it.

287
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 7: So the question is what do you say to the

288
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 7: forty percent of voters who voted for Trump.

289
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 9: Oh, I'm happy to say that. It's the do you

290
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 9: need them to win part that I don't understand. I'm

291
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 9: happy to answer the question. What's the question is you

292
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 9: haven't written?

293
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 3: And I'll answer, Oh, this is the new popular thing

294
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 3: is to attack the reporter, isn't it. I mean it's

295
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 3: always been there, but now I guess this is just

296
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: the new.

297
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: Huh.

298
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 3: I wonder why the youngest generation doesn't want to get

299
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: into news and they want to just be podcasters.

300
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: HU wonder why.

301
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 7: And we've also asked the other candidates, do you think

302
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 7: you need any of those forty percent of California voters

303
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 7: to win?

304
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 8: And you're saying no, you don't.

305
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 9: No, I'm saying I'm going to try to win every

306
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 9: vote I can. And what I'm saying to you, is that.

307
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 3: Okay, a couple of things going on. Let's talk inner

308
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: monologue for a moment. Do you think that Katie Porter,

309
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 3: her inner monologue is going, oh don't oh, oh okay,

310
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 3: this just became argumentative. I can either bring it back

311
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 3: and make it congenial, or I can acknowledge this argumentative

312
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 3: and then blame the reporter. That's what's going on in

313
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 3: her inner monologue. As the reporter goes let me just

314
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 3: tell you how this works. Reporter at first is taken

315
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 3: aback by Katie Porter, uh, jumping at her like.

316
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: Whoop, didn't seem like a tough question.

317
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 3: And then as Katie Porter kept digging herself a hole,

318
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: the reporter kept thinking, Oh this is good.

319
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: Oh this is going viral.

320
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: That's how the inner monologues work between those two people,

321
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 3: well to those voters.

322
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 8: Okay, so you I don't want to keep doing it, Beau.

323
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 8: I'm gonna call it. Thank you, I'm gonna call it.

324
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 7: You're not gonna do the interview with them.

325
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 8: It's not like this. I'm not not with seven follow

326
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 8: ups to every single question you ask.

327
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 3: Outstanding Porter's like I'm going to make a statement. I'm

328
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 3: going to bail on this, and the reporter's like, oh,

329
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 3: oh God.

330
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: Bless it. This is amazing.

331
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: I'm watching someone's political career self destruct right in front

332
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 3: of me.

333
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: This is going on my reel.

334
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 7: Every other candidate has answered calls.

335
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 8: I don't care.

336
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 9: I want to have a pleasant, positive conversation which you

337
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 9: asked me about every issue on this list. And if

338
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 9: every question that you're going to make up a follow

339
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 9: up question, then we're never going to get there.

340
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: Uh. I'm pretty sure that's how journalism works, mister.

341
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 9: We're just going to circle a ry am and as

342
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,359
Speaker 9: I had to do this before ever.

343
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 7: You've never had to have a conversation in order. Okay,

344
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 7: but every other candidate has done this.

345
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 8: What part of I'm me? I'm running for governor because

346
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 8: I'm a leader.

347
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, sounds like I am.

348
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 7: Going to make so you're not going to answer questions

349
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 7: from reporters.

350
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 8: Okay, why don't we go through.

351
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 7: I will continue to ask follow up questions because that's

352
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 7: my job as a journalist, but I will go through

353
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 7: and ask these and if you don't want to answer,

354
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 7: you don't want to answer.

355
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: Oh that was a good move by the journalist. So

356
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: she is giving porter more rope. Here you go.

357
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 3: I see that you're already swinging by your neck, but

358
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 3: you're still gasping.

359
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: Let me just see if I can finish the.

360
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 7: Job so nearly every legislative.

361
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 8: I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you, and.

362
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you. Oh.

363
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: I think Katie Porter trying to break up with media,

364
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: and I.

365
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 8: Don't want this on on camera.

366
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 7: I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you either.

367
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 7: I would love to continue to ask these questions so

368
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 7: that we can show our viewers what every candidate feels

369
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 7: about every one of these issues that they care about.

370
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 3: What do you think she meant by I don't want

371
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 3: to have this on camera. Okay, that's where the inner

372
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: monologue went. Uh oh, doubling down was the wrong choice.

373
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 3: Now it's out there. Uh oh, it's on tape. You're screwed.

374
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: I don't want this th CA. I'm a leader, you know.

375
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 7: I want to be the leader in readisseritching. It's a

376
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 7: massive issue. We're going to do an entire story just

377
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 7: on the responses to that question, and if asked everybody

378
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 7: the same follow up questions.

379
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 2: Ye that was it jame over? Uh?

380
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 3: Oh, so Porter keeps challenging the questions themselves.

381
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: She keeps getting upset about it.

382
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 3: Former staffer, remember did accuse Porter in the past of

383
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: verbal abuse and retaliation. Porter denied those claims so that

384
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 3: they were politically motivated. So your fault, the reporter made

385
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 3: me look bad. Of course, those allegations are are catching

386
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 3: more traction again after this meltdown.

387
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 2: Truly tremendous.

388
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 3: You just watched You watched a politician and I don't

389
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 3: know if she stood a chance of winning the governor's

390
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 3: race at all. I'm gonna say she didn't. But uh,

391
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 3: you just watch your seal her own fate. That's what

392
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 3: just happened. And you're gonna be able to go, oh,

393
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 3: we will be referring to this, this own goal for

394
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: decades like, oh, well they really portered themselves. There, we're

395
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: turning Porter into a verb. Oh this did this gubernatorial

396
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 3: candidate just Porter themselves.

397
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: That's the future of Katie Porter. Now, that's it. Well,

398
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 2: she could become president.

399
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 3: I thought the same thing, honestly, Mark, I thought the

400
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 3: same thing. I thought, Oh, arguing with the reporter looking

401
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,959
Speaker 3: bad and then saying the reporter made me do it.

402
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's enough to get you.

403
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 3: I wonder if if there's any precedent for this kind

404
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 3: of behave journalists.

405
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: Yes, have we ever seen this happen before? Is their

406
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 2: precedent for this?

407
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 3: Who has lashed out at journalists in the recent past

408
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 3: that we could possibly point to out of the California's

409
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 3: gonna stand for it. We're gonna hear from one of

410
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 3: the other gubernatorial candidates who's running against Porter in the

411
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 3: primary and get the reaction there. That is next time,

412
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 3: Chris Merril Am six forty, We're live everywhere on the

413
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,480

Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

415

Speaker 3: Chris Merrell, Remember you grab us anytime on demand the

416
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: iHeart Radio app. Katie Porter had a total meltdown talking

417
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 3: with a CBS interviewer. The interviewer asked how she planned

418
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 3: to win over Trump voters, and Porter said, how would

419
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 3: I need them to win, ma'am? And then it was

420
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 3: just a couple of moments later, after some back and forth,

421
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: that we heard this, Oh, come on, go, why is

422
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 3: my stuff not working? Now?

423
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: Guys?

424
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 8: I don't want to keep doing it, becau, I'm gonna

425
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 8: call it.

426
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I'm gonna blame Richie for breaking

427
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 2: my Peter Ritchie, why'd you do that?

428
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 8: I don't want to keep doing this. I'm gonna call it.

429
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: There you go.

430
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 3: Like that. Richie's like, yeah, whatever, I'm breaking the next sound,

431
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 3: it was one hundred percent me.

432
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to keep doing this. So she

433
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: just says I'm out.

434
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 8: I don't want to keep doing this. I'm gonna call it.

435
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 2: Joining us right now is Stephen J. Klubeck.

436
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 3: He's a candidate for governor as well as a Democrat

437
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 3: running against Porter in the primaries. Mister Kluebec, I'm going

438
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 3: to call it the end of her political aspirations. That

439
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 3: interview was it? That was her Ducaucus in the tank moment.

440
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 3: That was her Howard Dean's scream moment. Did you read anything.

441
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 6: Else rest in piece, Kadie Porter?

442
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was not great man, it was I mean

443
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: when you said that was there was there a little

444
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 3: bit of you that felt like even a little bit

445
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 3: of a sympathy for us, because at one point I'm

446
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: watching herself destruct and I'm thinking, oh no, oh, I

447
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 3: like I felt.

448
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 6: Pity no, because because she is who she is, so

449
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 6: the costume came off.

450
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that's fair.

451
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 6: That's the that's the authentic, that's the authentic Katie Porter.

452
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 6: Everyone got to be unapologetically authentic. That's what we're missing today.

453
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,479
Speaker 3: You'll run some some big companies, right, I mean, surely

454
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 3: there have been heated exchanges in your companies before. I mean,

455
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: there's got to be a limit between like pushing somebody

456
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 3: or pushing back and completely self destructing.

457
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 6: But I sat for an hour with Julie Watts at CBS,

458
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 6: as she did with every other candidate, and at the

459
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 6: end of these is she asked tough questions.

460
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: She has tough.

461
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 6: Questions, and I answered all the questions handidly, with integrity

462
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 6: and unapologetically. And you know, she told me that I

463
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 6: sound like all the Republicans.

464
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 2: I said, I'm a Californian. Yeah, I get that.

465
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 6: What can I tell you, It's it's a complement. I'm

466
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 6: a Reagan Democrat. I'm old school, and you know, I'm

467
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 6: not a politician. But look, there's no excuse for that.

468
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 6: There's no excuse for that. The customers of California deserve

469
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 6: more better. And there's nine months left to the primary,

470
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 6: and things will shake out you know, we hope for

471
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 6: the best for California because California is too great of

472
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 6: a state.

473
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't expect to do this.

474
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 6: I mean I literally interviewed every candidate and there was

475
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 6: not one I could back. And I'm trained by you know,

476
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 6: Bill Clinton, Harry Reid, my adopted dad. Yeah, I just

477
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 6: this is not easy. California is a workout. It's a

478
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 6: business workout. It really needs skills of a business or

479
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 6: some business leader fixed what's broken.

480
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 3: Is there an opportunity from just from a political standpoint,

481
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 3: Stephen J. Kubeck is joining me right now, gubernatorial candidate.

482
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 3: Is there an opportunity from from a political standpoint to

483
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 3: sort of capitalize on this because you know your opponents

484
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 3: are going to try to make hay Well that sun is.

485
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: Up on this. Oh.

486
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 6: I mean I played my interview with Julie against Katie

487
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 6: Porter's interview and it was just you can look at it,

488
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 6: go to my instagram. Stephen J. Kleban at night and day.

489
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 6: I mean, just you have a respect for reporters. Reporters

490
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,479
Speaker 6: have to ask tough questions and you answer the question,

491
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 6: you know, unapologetically, authentically, with integrity, and if you don't

492
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 6: know the answer. You say, I don't know, but you

493
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 6: don't push back like that. You're leading the fourth largest

494
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 6: economy of the world, and that's what this horse race

495
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 6: is about, because you know, we got to leaders. Leaders

496
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 6: have to protect our life safety. They have to know

497
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 6: how to sign the front of a check, great jobs,

498
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 6: deliver performance and results. That's how leaders lead and you

499
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 6: can't be compromised. And unfortunately, the politicians that we have

500
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 6: in this great state are all rareists. They think they're

501
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 6: entitled to this, and you've got to roll up your sleeves.

502
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: That's a fair assessment. Stephen J.

503
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: Klubeck is the joining me right now gubernatorial candidate. We're

504
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 3: talking about Katie Porter's meltdown in the interview with CBS News.

505
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: They are career politicians, but I would also say that

506
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 3: that may give them an advantage when it comes to

507
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 3: metaphorical combat in the political arena. What have you noticed? Obviously,

508
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 3: you're a successful businessman, You've got I mean, you've done

509
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 3: very well. So what are you noticing is like the

510
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 3: biggest difference between running a business and then trying to

511
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 3: run a campaign. Certainly there's similarities, but there's got to

512
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 3: be some glaring differences.

513
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 6: Oh well, I've I've been around forty years and watched.

514
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 6: But I ran tourism in the United States. I worked

515
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 6: for the White House for three years. I created brand

516
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 6: new essay the Tourism Department of the United States. I've

517
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 6: been a regulator. I ran, you know, the largest athletic

518
00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 6: commission in the world. So and I passed laws. So

519
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 6: the problem is most business people don't want to get

520
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 6: involved in the politics because it's a nasty business. It's

521
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 6: a blood sport. And you know, they're great leaders that

522
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 6: we have just don't want to touch it because there's

523
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 6: no money in it. It's really selfless and you have

524
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 6: to be at the right place in your life to

525
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 6: even want to do it. And we need more business

526
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 6: leaders actually that have done well they get involved in

527
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 6: politics and policy. California would be better off, the world

528
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 6: wouldn't be better off. And when I investigated this race,

529
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 6: there was no succession.

530
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 2: We haven't created great leaders.

531
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 6: So, frankly, shame on the last three governors for not

532
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 6: creating great leaders.

533
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 3: Well, how come it's not very often we have somebody

534
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 3: that's been a very successful businessman like yourself and then

535
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 3: running as a as a Democrat.

536
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: Why don't we see more.

537
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 3: Business leaders who are gravitating toward the left side of

538
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 3: the political aisle?

539
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 2: Is it? I mean, is it expediency and tells what's

540
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: what's the deal?

541
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 6: Well, because I grew up in the San Fern in

542
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 6: a valley and I was a Democrat since I was

543
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 6: eighteen years old, and the Democratic Party was ranked Democrat.

544
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 6: It was it was conservative, middle of the road, blue

545
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 6: dog Democrat. It was called we're business leaders, and we

546
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 6: led when we were fighters and we protected and we

547
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 6: had integrity. And the Democratic Party everyone says it's woke. No,

548
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 6: I think it got weak and we need brass balls.

549
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 6: Where's the brass balls. I'm gonna come on. We've got

550
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 6: to be a protector and a fighter.

551
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 3: Stephen Jay Klubec, candidate for Governor, in response to what

552
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,959

557
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 3: big one that's coming to California. That's coming up here

558
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 3: after eight o'clock, and uh, is it possible we could

559
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: be seeing an end to the government shutdown starting right

560
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 3: here in southern California.

561
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 2: It's entirely possible. The catalyst is someplace you've already been.

562
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 3: That is next time, Chris Merril KFI AM six forty

580
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: It's kind of great though that the hostages are getting back.

581
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm like, I can't even imagine. If you're

582
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 3: a family member and you've just every night, how do

583
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,359

00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 3: you even sleep?

585
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 2: Just horrible. So I'm really really happy to see that.

586
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 3: This has that this is happening. It's a it's all

587
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 3: good news, it's all good and I hope it holds.

588
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 3: I do, I genuinely hope that it holds. Will it

589
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 3: be enough to get Trump the Nobel Peace Prize? And

590
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 3: how long will he wait before he says he deserves it?

591
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 3: On truth social anybody want to guess I'm going to

592
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 3: stay out of this if you don't mind, Oh, yeah.

593
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 2: That's fine. Is that alright with you?

594
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 3: Well, he said that this was the first step towards strong, durable,

595
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: and everlasting piece. So we've got it. We're done done.

596
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 3: I hope so, and I hope so. Be curious to

597
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 3: see how this continues to play out, because you know

598
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 3: that there's gonna be some toes stepped on. Hopefully it

599
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: doesn't devolve into something horrific again. Meanwhile, back home, our

600
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: government continues to remain shut down. M I think that

601
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 3: could end all because of Southern California because specifically the

602
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: Burbank Airport.

603
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 10: For now, those air traffic controllers are going to be

604
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 10: back out of work this morning here at Hollywood Burbank Airport.

605
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 2: But the Federals, this is from Katla this morning.

606
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 10: Aviation Administration warning this morning that those concerns are far

607
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 10: from over. There are expected delays and cancelations not only

608
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 10: here at Burbank, but also at airports nationwide. In fact,

609
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 10: travel experts also saying passengers need to be ready because

610
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 10: these problems are just getting started.

611
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 2: This is just the beginning. In fact, this.

612
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 10: Morning, eight major airports across the country, including Las Vegas, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Nashville,

613
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 10: and even New York are experiencing air traffic control tower

614
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 10: staffing issues. The control tower workers who guide planes into

615
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 10: and out of those airports are calling in sick. That's

616
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 10: because they won't be getting paid until this shutdown ends

617
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 10: on Monday night.

618
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 3: The oh, let's do some irresponsible speculation. What will the

619
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 3: narrative be if we have a plane crash? But don't

620
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 3: want to guess? Oh my goodness, Oh, the politicians be

621
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 3: pointing fingers all over the place. Oh, it's their fault. No,

622
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 3: it's their fault. No, it's their fault. No, it's their fault.

623
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 3: No they did it, No, they did it. Oh my goodness,

624
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 3: isn't everything still President Biden's fault with regard to transportation.

625
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: Here's the one thing I do know is that a

626
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: number of these air traffic controllers were found in Hunter

627
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 3: Biden's laptop. So you know, we're gonna get to the

628
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 3: bottom of that. Many many people are telling me that. Yeah,

629
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 3: if you've paid attention to Sean Duffy in his interviews, Okay,

630
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 3: well there's let's just end that sentence in the middle. Nope, yep, nope, nope.

631
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 3: I think this could be the end of the of

632
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 3: the shutdown. Here's why I heard the promo that Bill

633
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 3: handle was talking about. He talked about the longest shutdown

634
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 3: in American history was under Trump's first term. Do you

635
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 3: know when the shortest shutdown in American history happened?

636
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 2: Mark? Do you know this? Off the top of your hand?

637
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 3: I don't, what is it? It was also during Trump's

638
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: first urn. How many total or under?

639
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: I think he had four? Yeah? Four?

640
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 8: Four?

641
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: Okay, I got it right, Oh, look at that, thank you.

642
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 3: But that right off the top does anybody else have four?

643
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 3: What did Reagan have three? Anyway, I'll do the math. Okay,

644
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 3: thanks man, I appreciate that. So Reagan did have the

645
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 3: same problem. The air traffic controllers union went on strike.

646
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 3: He fired eleven thousand of those back in eighty one,

647
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: if you'll recall, and very controversial.

648
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: And and it it made all kinds of hell.

649
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 3: Right during Trump shutdown twenty nineteen, you had a number

650
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 3: of controllers that called out sick, specifically in New York

651
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 3: at LaGuardia, and there were hundreds of flights delayed, and

652
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 3: that made Trump mad, and he said.

653
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: Okay, it's time to be done. I we've got Hollywood.

654
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 3: Burbank is the first and worst example, right when all

655
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 3: we had eight eight? Okay, so there you go, Mark,

656
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 3: Jimmy Carter had five. Oh no kidding, I didn't realize

657
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 3: it was that many. Yeah, but they none of them

658
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 3: lasted thirty five days. Most of them were two days.

659
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 3: I think the average is to point eight or something.

660
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 3: I did the math on this a while back. Anyway,

661
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 3: where was I I.

662
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 2: Don't know, do we have a commercial ready to go?

663
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 7: Oh?

664
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: Stop? My watch is talking to me?

665
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 3: Love that anyway, So we have the first shutdown here

666
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 3: where we have no air traffic controllers at Hollywood Burbank.

667
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 3: And obviously it's very difficult to communicate and not crash

668
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 3: when you don't have the air traffic controllers.

669
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: And so now we're seeing this happen elsewhere.

670
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 3: I think this is going to be the thing that

671
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 3: pushes people and we go, we don't care, just get

672
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 3: the government open.

673
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: I can see that happening. And what are we at?

674
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 2: Seven day? Eight days? We're at eight days now. I

675
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 2: don't know that this one's gonna last.

676
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 3: Thirty five days. I don't know that it's gonna happen.

677
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 3: I also hope it doesn't because I have a flight

678
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 3: on the twenty fifth, and I really.

679
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna be very under on this One's gonna

680
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: be ooh good one oh man? Do we need to

681
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 2: take a break to actually think about this? Wait? Are

682
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: we betting? Are replacing bets? I'm done? We don't bet,

683
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 2: we don't bet, we we we we bet well, I

684
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 2: don't know if we're illegally allowed to bet. I bet okay,

685
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 2: I bet we don't get caught making illegal bets on this?

686
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 6: All right?

687
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: What do you think? How long is this gonna last,

Speaker 2: with seventeen days. Sam says, seventeen.

690
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 3: Where did you get that figure? But that's what that's

691
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 3: exactly what I thought. Oh yeah, I have no idea

692
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 3: because there's so many different factors that you got to

693
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 3: figure into this. I'll just pick a random number that's

694
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 3: gonna last three weeks, all right, So twenty one if

695
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 3: that's random, and I and I have no reason to

696
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 3: believe that it could be true. Did Richie skip out yet?

697
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 3: I can't see and it was I can't see his camera.
