Well, thanks so much for 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:05.040 stopping by. 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.160 I appreciate you including me. I'm looking forward to finding 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.400 out how we're going to fix California today. 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.720 Well, let's start out with the guy who's breaking California, 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.640 and by that I mean Gavin Newsom, who is doing 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.320 what he loves to do best, which is travel to 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.519 any place that's not California. This time it's to the 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:33.200 state of Michigan, where he is campaigning with Abdul Alsayed, 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:38.720 the DSA friendly candidate who won the Democratic nomination for 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.080 the US Senate in that state. He was the guy 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.679 who was campaigning all over with Hassan Piker, who has 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.560 tweeted and said all kinds of interesting things about all 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.960 kinds of different people, and Gavin Newsom seems to be 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.320 all in with this wing of the party of the 0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:01.440 Democratic Party as we approach the twenty twenty eight Democratic primary. 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:07.880 Gavin Newsom, prior to recently, was trying to portray himself 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.640 as the number one Trump hater on planet Earth and 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:15.800 more of a standard partisan Democrat, And now it seems 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.279 like he wants to play foot see with the DSA 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.200 and the left wing of the party. What do you 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:22.840 make of what he's doing over there. 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.800 I think that he's I think he's trying to serve 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.240 three masters. I think one he is trying to mitigate 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.920 the fallout of coming out against Prop forty here in 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.920 California and suggesting we should have the National Billionaire's Tax instead. 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:40.000 I think that he is trying to cozy up to 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.440 the far left in a way that's safe, in a 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:47.000 way that doesn't require him to abandon the old guard 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.760 the base, because right now, Gavin Newsom I think very 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:55.040 likely has the DNC support, possibly to the extent that 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:59.520 Hillary Clinton would have in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen, and 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.280 he needs to do something to get the far left 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.960 on his side. Buddying up to this guy a lot 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.600 safer than AOC. He's too new to have that ingrained 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.000 knee jerk rage freak out every time his face turns 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.680 up on TV for folks in the center, but for 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.080 folks on the far left, it's a code for we 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:18.279 are DSA friendly. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.400 Do you think anyone in the DSA and the DSA 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.240 can be quite dogmatic about what they believe in where 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.039 there's not a lot of room for nuance. Do you 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.440 think that they look at him and they see a 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.680 fellow traveler or do they look at him and see 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.560 an opportunist who is trying to exploit what he sees 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:38.800 as an open lane. 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.800 Interestingly, I think for those in the DSA they see 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.880 the opportunists, they recognize him for what it is, because 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.000 while that they may be wrong headed and misguided. I 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.560 think the folks out on the far left are more engaged. 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.520 I think that this is going to fly under the 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.200 radar of the centrists, but I don't think it's going 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.080 to be enough for the progressive left. 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.560 What do you think Gavin Newsom believes into his core? 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.640 And I say that because I am of the belief 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:12.479 that if he was raised in Boise, Idaho, instead of 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:19.480 Marin County, California, or he was raised in I don't know, Houston, Texas, 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.280 he would be a Republican politician in a red state 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.640 who wants to be the guy in the room making 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:31.919 the decisions, and political philosophy political ideology is just something 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.839 that's not that important to him. He is extremely malleable. 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.719 He looks in the mirror and sees a rock star, 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.560 he looks in the mirror and sees a president, and 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:45.159 his faith and his belief is in himself and not 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.120 in any particular worldview. 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.080 Oh, John, I think that you've hit the nail right 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:54.280 on the head. Gavin Newsom is whatever the moment requires 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:58.080 him to be. What Gavin Newsom wants to be is powerful. 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.880 Gavin Newsom wants to be is a statement. I think 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.160 what Gavin Newsom, in his heart of hearts, wants is 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.880 to be Jack Kennedy. But absent the opportunity for that 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.760 brand of politics to sell, Gavin Newsom will do whatever 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.320 is expedient for his campaign, and this is why he's 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.480 in Michigan campaigning for aes. 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.960 What kind of candidate do you think he's going to 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.320 make for president? Because I don't think he's going to 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.080 make a good one at all. I don't think he's 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.760 going to be the Democratic nominee. I don't think he's 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.320 going to have a good showing. I think it's going 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:34.239 to be a really humiliating process for him. 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:41.280 In his mind more than anyone's. Whenever we talk about 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.680 Gavin Newsom campaigning at the national level, the thing that 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.560 goes through my head is the Target incident. You remember, 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.839 right after the pandemic. We were still wearing our face diapers. 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.080 We were all six feet apart in the grocery store 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.560 and Gavin Newsom goes into Target. Everybody's got their phones 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.520 up because, oh my god, the governor's here and the 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.000 cashier made a comment to him about the shutdowns and 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:07.520 he lost it. On a minimum wage, part time employee, 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.760 the governor couldn't take critique. It wasn't even criticism of 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.480 him personally. If anything, the criticism was probably directed more 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.760 at Fauci and Newsom couldn't hang. And now he's going 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.160 to go into a campaign where the primary is going 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.320 to be brutal. The genuinely progressive left is going to 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.840 hit him for his failings there, moderates and the right 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.280 are going to hit him for his failings everywhere else. 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.000 And I think we're going to see a very peevish, 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.760 very spoiled man reveal himself. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:40.440 What I am looking forward to is the debate where 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.320 he's standing on stage with Kamala Harris, because so far 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:46.960 the two of them have been frontemies for a very 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:51.920 long time, but they've always bent over backwards to make 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.320 sure they never directly took each other on. She was 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.920 da he was mayor of San Francisco. When they went 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:03.080 to state one, she became the attorney general, he became 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.040 lieutenant governor. When they wanted to move up to the 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.800 top of the ticket, she took the Senate seat, he 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.760 took the governor's seat. They've never run against each other, 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.720 despite the fact that they're of similar age, they're from 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.640 the same part of the state, they've always gone in 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:24.160 different lanes, and they've always endorsed each other publicly and 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:28.480 publicly been fond of one another privately. I think it's 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:32.080 probably a different story. But when those two go at 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.880 each other for the first time on that stage, I 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.959 think she is a unique threat to him because she 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:43.440 could say he was a bad governor in California, and 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.720 he was the one in charge of the bullet train 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.680 that turned into the disaster. He was the reason that 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.319 Shampau is locked up behind bulletproof class at the target 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.600 in California. He's the reason we have all of these 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.719 homeless encampments up and down the state. He was the 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.200 one said he was going to solve that and he didn't. 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.040 And the fact that she comes not only from the 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.760 same state, but from the same city as him, she 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.280 can hit him and speak in ways where she has 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:17.600 credibility that the other candidates do not. And we know 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.720 what happened with her and Grampy Joe the last time around, 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.600 when she essentially declared him to be part of the Klan. 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.960 She could be effective. I mean, I'm not a big 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.240 fan of hers, and I thought she was an awful 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.480 general election candidate, but she did damage to him in 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.280 that primary to Grampy Joe, and I think she can 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.079 do the same thing to Gavin Oh one hundred percent. 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.960 Look, I don't like Kamala as a candidate. I don't 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:47.120 like Kamala as a statesman, but as a debater, she's effective. 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.000 The fact of the matter is she knows how to 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.199 argue and he doesn't know how to manage his temper, 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:56.880 so there's a real opportunity for her to knock him 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.440 down a peg. But I just think that the that 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.400 proved that it's possible to be less popular than Hillary 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.400 Clinton ultimately isn't going to be the standard bearer for 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.600 the party. But I think that she's going to cost 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:11.280 him some votes. I think she's going to cost him 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:12.839 some peace of mind, and I know she's going to 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:13.559 cost him money. 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.320 Whereas speaking with Philip Teresi, who you can follow on 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:21.440 x at Philip Teresi, let's switch gears here and talk 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.760 about the governor's race, because it seems like the strategy 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:30.160 that Javier Bessera is going to employ is going to 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.720 be very similar to what Grampy Joe did back in 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:36.679 twenty twenty, which is to hide in the basement, not 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:43.199 come out, do as few interviews as possible, debate as 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.720 little as possible, and just hope that people forget that 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.400 your name is even on the ballot, and just exploit 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:55.640 the registration advantage to win and then take your seat. 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.840 It seems like he has very minimal interest in actively 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.520 campaigning up and down the state. There was just a 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:05.320 press event that he participated in in Sacramento where the 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.079 reporters literally chased him to the car and he wouldn't 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.440 talk to them about anything. But that's par for the 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:15.240 course with him, and whenever he does interviews it seems 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.160 to be crash and burn. We know that he showed 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:21.960 up to those cabinet meetings with the Biden administration totally unprepared, 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.160 didn't do the reading before he'd have to sit down 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:29.319 with the president. I guess those meetings became embarrassing because 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.320 of him, and many of his colleagues have a very 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.079 low opinion of him. Do you think he's going to 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.080 be able to get away with that in this election? 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:41.800 Unfortunately? Yeah. I think that I think that if Bessarah 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:46.000 positions himself with the attitude of look, we need adults 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.520 in the room. We need people who are here to manage, 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.120 not people who are here to grandstand and seek social 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:55.720 media followings. He's going to have an opportunity not to 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:59.559 attack Hilton on the issues, but to attack him on style. 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.720 And I do think that there is a measure of 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:07.360 fatigue that could play well to that. Not with conservative voters, 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.880 not with people that are sick with the stalemate that 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:14.000 is Sacramento as it is. But I actually think that 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.040 this strategy one The one thing that remains to be 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.720 seen is does he have the cash on hand to 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.840 effectively advertise, to remember people, to remind people that he 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.160 exists when we get to October. 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.920 What how has Besarah received in the Central Valley right now? 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:37.160 Oh, big iyrolls. He does not have fans here. He's 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:42.440 perceived as weak, he is perceived as a supplicant to 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:47.520 the DNC agenda. That the expectation is that if Bessera wins, 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:52.320 and there's no false misconception that that's out of the question. 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.640 That the belief is that he is going to be 0:12:55.880 --> 0:13:00.000 Gavin Newsome third term and he's going to be as 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.720 status quo governor, which is not what we want. But 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.079 unfortunately there is an air of resignation in this. 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.920 I think he would be worse than Gavin Newsom because 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:16.760 Gavin Newsom has always been a very politically ambitious guy. 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.760 We knew from the moment he got elected lieutenant governor 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.640 that he wanted to be president of the United States, 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.600 maybe even going all the way back to mayor of 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.880 San Francisco. It was just obvious. So he wasn't going 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:33.360 to do anything too reckless because he wanted to preserve 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:37.559 his credibility as a national figure and a national candidate. 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:42.120 And I think that his presidential ambitions played a role 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:46.479 in many of the decisions that he made with Bisarah. 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.280 This is the last stop on the subway for him. 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.079 I don't see him moving up the food chain at all, 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.800 because I guess after being governor of California, it's president 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.840 or vice president or bust. I don't see either one 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:03.320 of those things happening. And I see him as being 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:07.640 kind of uniquely incompetent. Where you look at his performance 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.640 as Secretary of Health and Human Services during COVID that 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.679 was a complete disaster. In fact, they had such a 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:15.439 low opinion of him they cut him out of all 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.840 the health related press conferences that the president participated in. 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.240 You look at his time as ag here in California. 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.920 He was chasing headlines trying to sue the Trump administration. 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.400 But outside of that, I guess that office was a 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:35.080 complete basket case. He's demonstrated zero ability to run a 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.680 big organization if God forbid, we were to have a 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:42.320 big earthquake or some kind of natural disaster. I don't 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:46.440 see him being a competent leader through the crisis. I 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.320 see him as being someone who's going to tread water 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:53.040 at best and be a slow motion train wreck at worst. 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:57.400 Well, and I think that that treading water is that's 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.920 one hundred percent right. Javier Basera will be the deferred 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:05.040 maintenance governor. He will come in, he will accomplish us 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.760 nothing new. He will maintain the status quo. He will 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:11.200 avoid the media. He will rubber stamp whatever's popular with 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.680 the party coming out of the Capitol. He's not going 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.680 to innovate and he's not going to solve problems. Hilton 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:19.960 has a plan to deal with high speed rail. Hilton 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.240 has a plan to deal with the cost of housing. 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:26.200 Hilton has a plan to deal with the medical issue. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:30.400 But Sarah's articulated none of that, and it's only going 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.280 to get worse. If we elect a governor that sits 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:34.920 on his hands, and I think that's the guy. But 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.720 Sarah is in no small part because he doesn't have 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.440 that network that Newsom has managed to build. 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:48.640 Proposition forty, which is the billionaire wealth confiscation tax, just 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:52.680 to earn the endorsement of the California Democratic Party. The 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:57.240 California Nurses Association just came out in favor of it, 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:02.200 as did the California Federation of Labor heavy hitters in 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:06.520 state politics. The polls say that this thing would pass 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:10.840 if the election were held today. When I look at this, 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:15.000 I say to myself, if I'm Silicon Valley, if I'm 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:18.960 the high tech industry, if you want this thing to fail. 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.520 Outside of kicking into the no campaign, which I'm sure 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.200 they will do, one of the ways that you can 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.240 assure that this thing will fail is if you make 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:33.000 sure that Hilton is a viable candidate that has the 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:36.880 resources that he needs to get his message out. Because 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.280 if he gets crushed by twenty plus percent, my guess 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:44.880 is Prop forty passes, and it's not particularly close. If 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:49.400 he can get closer to Bisserah than what Republicans usually 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:53.080 do do better than John Cox do better than Brian Dolly. 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.440 He may not be able to win the election, but 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.240 he might be able to sink Prop forty. But so 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.440 far we just Tadam on the podcast last week, he 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.560 said that Silicon Valley is not coming in in a 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:10.119 big way quite yet. What do you see the Silicon 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:13.280 Valley Titans doing and do you believe that they will 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:16.560 ultimately line up behind Hilton in a way that makes 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:17.160 a difference. 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:22.600 Silicon Valley is extremely mercenary and there's not going to 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.760 be any hesitation to back Hilton if they believe he's 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.160 got a real shot. They'll play nice with Bisera if 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.440 they believe, like I think he does, that the registration 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.720 advantages the end of the story, if Hilton is able 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.439 to show that he has got popular support, and I 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.640 think that he can, Hilton's got the charisma to draw 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:45.440 a crowd, He's got the charisma of fundraise well. Silicon 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.400 Valley will fall in line behind him, especially if he's 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:54.720 emphasizing removing roadblocks for AI development and taking that stand 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.960 against Prop forty, promising to litigate against it, getting Michael 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:02.959 Gates to step in and intervene. Hilton can win their support, 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.399 but it's gonna come down to which way they think 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:08.520 is going to best serve their interests for the next 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:09.080 four years. 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:14.040 Philip Teresi afternoon drive host at our sister station KMJ 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.439 in the Central Valley from two to six in the 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:20.480 afternoon on Monday through Friday.

I'm not fixing it anymore. Every single day 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:03.920 I go in here and the poster is falling to 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.160 the floor, and I pick it up and I stick 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.680 it back on the wall. I'm done. If we're too 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.520 cheap for duct tape, I'm not putting it up on 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:16.040 the wall anymore.

It 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.639 has so many dents in it now on the corners 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.160 because it falls every single day. 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.160 And if you have it, checked out the latest edition 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.000 of the Accountability Podcast. 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:52.280 Check that out to day Johnny don't like dot Com. 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:55.000 It's our exclusive interview with Steve Hilton and went for 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:58.040 forty minutes, covered a whole bunch of issues.

Shit that money? 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.480 All right, it's now time to open up the California 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:40.360 Crime bladder. 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:45.520 If the cat shit is dumby. 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.080 We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried. 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:52.560 I said, hell no, very boy, let me get up 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:53.200 one out of here. 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:57.000 It's the California Crime Bloader. 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:00.840 And to the surprise of no one, Steve cluebec is 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:02.160 making the blotter yet again. 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:03.960 Don't bust the trust. 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:08.280 Steven Klubeck is in a whole lot of trouble because 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:13.200 he started threatening his friends who fell victim to his 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:18.200 ex fiance scam.

And remember this guy who was dating this 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:34.680 scam artist thought he was gonna be the next governor. 0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:37.280 And I love the only thing that caused him to 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.120 drop out of the race was because Swalwell got in, 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:44.280 and he held Swalwell in such high regard that he 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:47.200 thought that he didn't need to be a candidate anymore 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:51.000 because the perfect candidate was already in the race. 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:57.120 He was taking Swalwell on vacations. He had Swawell hold 0:21:57.200 --> 0:22:00.239 up in his house during the initial blow up. With 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:04.640 all of the rape allegations, it's been an interesting downfall 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:06.879 for mister timeshare Steve Glueback. 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:08.440 Don't bust the trust. 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:12.000 Here's a great explainer on where we are now in 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:16.000 this bizarre case with Glenn Walker and Fox eleven. 0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:19.480 An OnlyFans, model and a billionaire former gubernatorial candidate are 0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:20.640 at the center of it. 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:22.760 Is the most Beverly Hill story you've ever heard. 0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:30.040 A high profile case. Steven Klueback, the timeshare tycoon behind 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:34.200 Diamond Resorts International, now faces serious charges and potential jail 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:35.480 time for a lesson. 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:38.320 Someone got a little sunburn, I can tell maybe he 0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:39.800 was on that yacht again. 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:44.200 Actually interfering in a criminal case against his ex fiance. 0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:47.840 Wait a second, I never bothered to check out his 0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:51.320 website when he was running for governor. What does it 0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:55.919
