1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: And we continue at one oh five in the afternoon 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: on the Giant Phillip Show, Mister Randy Wags in Culver City. 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 2: John, the California Democratic Party has released their first poll. 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 2: They're going to be doing one every single week to 5 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,119 Speaker 2: convince the lower polling candidates to get out. And the 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: first poll that they commissioned, it came out today shows 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 2: Steve Hilton in first place with sixteen percent, Bianco in 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 2: second place with fourteen percent, and a three way tie 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 2: for third place at ten percent each between Swellwell Steyer 10 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 2: and KT Porter. 11 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 1: I'm pulling in to the bakery. Eight hundred two two 12 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: two five two two two is the telephone number one. 13 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: Eight hundred two two two five two two two. It 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: is our pleasure to welcome our next guest to the program. 15 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: She is a columnist for the Southern California News Group 16 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: and host of the Howard Jarvis Radio Show, which airs 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: Tuesday nights on KABC in LA and KSFO in the 18 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: Bay Area. You can and follow her on Exit Susan 19 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: Underscore Shelley, Susan Shelley, Welcome. 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 3: Thank you so much, John, great to be with you. 21 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: So the big gubernatorial debate which was supposed to go 22 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: down tonight has been canceled. 23 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:19,199 Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Well, it's a very interesting situation of how 24 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 3: they manipulated the criteria to get into the debate. You know, 25 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 3: I think this is about the unions not wanting Matt 26 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 3: Mayhan or Steve Hilton or Chad Bianco to have a 27 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 3: direct microphone straight to the voters, because if they talk 28 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: to the voter, then they say, you know, California has 29 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 3: huge deficits, California has huge problems. California is owned and 30 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: operated by the public employee unions. If they say that, 31 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 3: that's very bad for the unions. So when you saw 32 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 3: of that letter come out from the state legislative leaders, 33 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: that was very odd and it was almost panicky that 34 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: the six candidate on stage would get more time than 35 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 3: the ten candidates that they wanted this. I don't think 36 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 3: it had anything to do with rates. I think it 37 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 3: had to deal with you need. 38 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: Well, what's the saying, Sometimes where you stand depends on 39 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,839 Speaker 1: where you sit. And for a lot of people who 40 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: sit in the legislature right now, they look at these 41 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: low performing democrats and they see themselves. They see people 42 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: who came up through the machine, through the system, and 43 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: they work their way up the food chain and they're 44 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: trying to get the brass ring. And for those people 45 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: that's been one step too far. There's a ceiling where 46 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: they hit those low level statewide constitutional offices and that's 47 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: as high as they can go. And the political celebrities, 48 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: people like Gavin Dussom and Jerry Brown, they're the ones 49 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: that can become governor. But if you just come through 50 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: the ranks and the legislature, that's not for you, that's 51 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: for them. And because that group of people was being 52 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: kept off that stage, I think for the members of 53 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: the legislature, they saw themselves and they took great offense 54 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: to it. And they see this clique, this Northern California 55 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: white Democrat clique that keeps all the real good spoils 56 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: for itself and they give the crumbs to everyone else. 57 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 3: Well, that's certainly, that's a good call, and it could 58 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 3: be that, but it's also true that these people who 59 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 3: are in the legislature are commonly up through this political 60 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 3: machine without any talents. If people get elected on their 61 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: own talent, if they're out there talking to the voters, 62 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: they would have more public support. When there's polands on 63 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 3: their names, but they don't have public support, and yet 64 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 3: they've achieved these very high career goals of being elected 65 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: to these high offices and support. So this is a 66 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 3: political machine engineering candidates into these races, clearing the fields 67 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 3: for them, donating to somebody else if they don't come 68 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 3: through on the contract. I think it's really about the 69 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 3: labor unions owning the whole California government, and Matt Mayhon 70 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 3: is being funded by billionaires who want to oppose that. 71 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 3: They want to create another power center in California through 72 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: ballot measures, through candidates, through whatever they can do to 73 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 3: stop this socialist march to confiscation of everybody's assets, which 74 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 3: is where they're heading. So I think that might be 75 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 3: part of this story is that Matt Mayhon is not 76 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 3: in that clique with the with the unions. He's not 77 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 3: been a supporter of them. He don't support higher taxes, 78 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 3: so he's not really a friend of the taxpayer. But 79 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 3: he's not been not been affront for the union. So Leay, 80 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 3: so many of these candidates have them. 81 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: Do you see the pressure campaign working on any of 82 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: them and any of them dropping out? 83 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: I don't. I don't see it. I think you have 84 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 3: a very good point that they think these people at 85 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 3: the top will implode and they want to be the 86 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 3: person who's still standing when that happens. And they're all 87 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 3: going to be the ballot. So even if they were 88 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 3: to drop out their names over there, they're still going 89 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 3: to pull a few votes. It's a really tough situation. 90 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 3: If you were a Democratic strategist, then I'm not I'm 91 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: just speculating, But if you were a Democratic strategist trying 92 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: to figure out how to get the outcome you want 93 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: with a ten candidate field, of course more than ten candidates, 94 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 3: but ten moving candidates. You want to get the outcome 95 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 3: you want, what do you do? Because you push over here, 96 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: you pull over there, you might get something completely Unintended's 97 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 3: top too primary and so much depends on turnout, and 98 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 3: perhaps Republicans will be very motivated to turn out, and 99 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 3: maybe we will have two Republican candidates in the November runoff. 100 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 3: It's not impossible. 101 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: Let's assume for a second that that happens. When we 102 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: wake up on Wednesday morning and we're told that there 103 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: will be two Republicans on the November ballot and the 104 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: Democrats have been shut out, what does that mean does 105 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: that mean that Republicans probably keep that dare Elysis seat 106 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: in San Diego that goes into Palm Springs. Does it 107 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: mean that Republicans probably keep a seat or two in 108 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: the central Valley that the Democrats certainly would like to have. 109 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: Maybe the Kevin Kyleie seat in northern California is something 110 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: that the Republicans could hang on to. I don't see 111 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: how you motivate Democrats to turn out and vote in 112 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: a November election when there's no presidential race on the 113 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: ballot to gin the mob, there's no US Senate race 114 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: to gin the MUB, and there's a choice between two 115 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: Republicans at the top of the ballot. I can't imagine 116 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: that they will get excited by the lieutenant governor's race, 117 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: or the state Superintendent of Public Instruction race, or their 118 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: city council race, or their state assembly race. I don't 119 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: see how you get them to turn out. 120 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: I agree with you, there won't be any statewide measures 121 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 3: on the ballot to turn them out, and the statewide electorate, 122 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: if we're talking about the governor's race, the state wide election, 123 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 3: it is thirty eight percent voting for Republican or the 124 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 3: Conservative So Donald Trump got six million votes. That's a 125 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 3: lot of people. And honestly, if you have two Republicans 126 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: and the independents have to pick one, I think you 127 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: would have. I think you have a pretty good outcome, 128 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 3: and the Democrat machine would possibly the cracks would just 129 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 3: implode the whole operation, because political machines do end, and 130 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: if they don't end in handcuffed, they end in this 131 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 3: kind of thing with no leadership and no center around 132 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 3: which to rally. So that could happen if. 133 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: The Democratic Party determines that that is the most likely 134 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: outcome and they need to bring in an executioner to 135 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: whack some of these guys. Who is it that they 136 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: bring in? Who's the big gun? Is it Newsome? Is 137 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: it Nancy Pelosi? Is it Obama? Is it Jerry Brown? 138 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: Who do they go to? 139 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 3: Well? I think it was Obama for the Prop fifty campaign, 140 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 3: and I think it probably would have to be Obama 141 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: about how much. I don't know how much credibility does 142 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 3: he have in the governor's race in California. But Newsom 143 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 3: doesn't seem to want to get involved in it, and 144 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris doesn't seem to want to get involved and 145 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 3: I don't think the senators, the US Senators want to 146 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 3: get involved. I'm not sure that there's anybody who will 147 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 3: cross the supporters of each of these candidates, because they 148 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 3: all have supporters. You know, vi Orogosa has the Building 149 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 3: Trades Council, and the SARAH has the Laborers Union, and 150 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 3: Furman has the California Faculty Association, as does the SARAH. 151 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: So you know, I don't really know. Betty Ee has 152 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 3: been endorsed by the Progressive Democrats of California and the 153 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 3: Progressive Democrats of America. I don't know that anybody really 154 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,479 Speaker 3: wants to cross them. So it's not just crossing the candidates, 155 00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: but it's crossing the endorsers and the donors, and it's 156 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 3: it's just not that clear. Where's the advantage for Democrats 157 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 3: to even take a stand in this. They're just making enemies, 158 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 3: and what's the advantage if they turn out to be wrong? 159 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: And if you're Obama, you're a former president, you're not 160 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: going to run for office ever again, do you really 161 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: want to lower yourself to a small time party boss 162 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: by calling Betty Ye into a room and threatening her, 163 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: or calling Javier Bessera into a room and threatening him. 164 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: Is that something you really want to do. Is that 165 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: something that you want to be part of your legacy? 166 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: And you go back and you look at what happened 167 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: in the last presidential election. When they knew they had 168 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: to get Joe Biden out of the race, no one 169 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: wanted to do it. It was Nancy Pelosi who was 170 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: the one that stuck the knife in, but she did 171 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: it way too late. Had she stuck the knife in earlier, 172 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: they might have been able to salvage that campaign and 173 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: nominate a more electable candidate than Kamala Harris. But they 174 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: all waited too long because they were afraid of making 175 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: the first step. If you're going to try to go 176 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: after the king, you better kill the king, because if 177 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: you don't kill the king, paybacks a bitch. And I 178 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: think that they waited too long this time. They could 179 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: have forced these people out of the race. They could 180 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: have said, all right, you're going to get out and 181 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: we're going to clear the field for you for a 182 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: congressional seat, or we're going to make sure that you 183 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: win the endorsement for lieutenant governor or whatever. But people 184 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: have already filed for all of those offices. Those plums 185 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: don't exist anymore. So I don't know how you bribe 186 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: someone or how you entice them out of the race 187 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: in March of twenty twenty six. This had to be 188 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: done in October of last year or September of last year. 189 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: That's when you do this. But it seems like they're 190 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: just so used to winning and they're so used to 191 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: getting what they want, they felt that the chips would 192 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,119 Speaker 1: fall into place, and now everything has gone haywire. 193 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 3: I think that's absolutely true. And the other thing that 194 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 3: we shouldn't underestimate the great campaign that Steve Hilton has 195 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 3: been running, where he's been up and down the state 196 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 3: for three years, calling attention to the failures of these policies, 197 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 3: and he's he's leading in the polls week after week. 198 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 3: He's leading in the polls. And Chad Biancle on a 199 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: law enforcement, law and order platforms, he's doing very well 200 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 3: in the polls. And it's calling attention to what was 201 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 3: also really uncovered in the Prop thirty six campaign that 202 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 3: people are not happy with the situation in California by 203 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 3: big numbers in all parties. They're not happy with the 204 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 3: way things are going in this state. And so the 205 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 3: fact that the Republicans have been aggressive. Has shown the 206 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 3: weakness of the Democrats. Well, that's one factor. And something 207 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 3: else that occurs to me is that when the low 208 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 3: polling Democrats, as Hilton called them, made this a racial 209 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 3: issue about debate, maybe they were sending a message to 210 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 3: people like Barack Obama, like Nancy Pelosi, but they will 211 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 3: make it a racial issue. If anybody tries to lock 212 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 3: them in a room and get them out of the race, 213 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 3: they will go straight to the race card. Maybe that 214 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 3: was what this was all about. 215 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 1: This is turning in the worst case scenario for them. 216 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 3: This is bad for the Democrats, but it's good for 217 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 3: California because if this has been a one party state 218 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: with no checks and balances, we have insane policies with 219 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 3: no one pushing back on them. Effectively, It's raised the 220 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 3: cost of living in this state. There's a reason that 221 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 3: California is so much more expensive than Nevada and Arizona 222 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 3: and other states across the country. And it's because of 223 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 3: our dim wit policies that no one's pushing back on. 224 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 3: The oil companies have tried to push back on some 225 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 3: of the insane energy policies, and now the refineries are 226 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 3: closing because they weren't bluffing. So the refineries are closing. 227 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 3: So we're importing gasoline. What does that cost? Well, you're 228 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 3: seeing what it costs. It's not all the war in 229 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 3: Iran because it's more more expensive in California than it 230 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 3: is anywhere else. And these are policy choices that really 231 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 3: need to be reversed. And until we have checks and 232 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 3: balances in our California government at all levels we needed 233 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 3: at the city, county, and state level, we are going 234 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 3: to have insane, destructive policies pushed by special interest groups. 235 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: If you had a magic wand, and your magic wand 236 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: could make Donald Trump do whatever it is that you 237 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: want him to do, and you wanted Donald Trump to 238 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: help California Republicans get Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco on 239 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: the November ballot and lock the Dems off, what would 240 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: Trump do? 241 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 3: Well, give him the polling that we saw at work 242 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 3: in the Prop fifty campaign. He probably shouldn't directly endorse 243 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 3: anybody because that just creates this series of commercials about 244 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 3: MAGA and the rest of it that are just distorting everything. 245 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 3: So I think probably the direct endorsement is not the past. 246 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 3: The pass is to call attention to the democratic failures, 247 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 3: which he's doing by coming down on the greenhouse gas policies, 248 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 3: reversing the endangerment finding that has allowed this crazy amount 249 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 3: of regulation for no good reason. I think he's probably 250 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 3: doing the right thing to challenge some of the goofy 251 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 3: mandates in California that are making life expensive. But then again, 252 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 3: that's kind of a slow it's a slow track. It's 253 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 3: up in the air whether the immigration policy helps or 254 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 3: hurts with the California electorate, because certainly Californians have not 255 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 3: been really happy about all the public benefits for illegal immigrants. 256 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 3: We saw that from Prop One eighty seven forward that 257 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 3: people are upset about what they consider to be improper 258 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 3: public benefits for people in the country illegally, and California 259 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 3: has really let everybody in doing that. Should he make 260 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 3: an issue out of that, Well, they kind of are 261 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 3: from doctor Oz coming in and talking about changing the 262 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 3: formulas for medicale but that's a little wonky. I don't 263 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 3: know that people will pick up on that. So if 264 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 3: I had a magic wand, I would say that Donald 265 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 3: Trump should keep doing what he's doing, which is challenging 266 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 3: California's policies and pointing out the failures. I think that's 267 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 3: the most effective path ol because the fundrating fundrating would 268 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 3: be helpful. 269 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley has gotten behind San Jose may or Matt 270 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: Mahon in a big way. So far, that has not 271 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: translated in him moving up in the polls. He's still 272 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: stuck in those low single digits. It's still relatively early, 273 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: and his shock and awe campaign on television, in radio, 274 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: and in the mailboxes hasn't really started yet. Let's say 275 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: he blows up on takeoff. Let's say that they spend 276 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: and spend and spend, but he never really moves into 277 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: the top two in the polls. But an all Republican 278 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: November ballot is something that is certainly still a possible scenario. 279 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: If you are a Silicon Valley titan, if you are 280 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: one of these people that runs a tech company and 281 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: you need California to be a functioning place for your 282 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: business to thrive and survive. Right as the wave is 283 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: hitting with AI, do you cut bait on Mayhan and 284 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: then get behind one or both of the Republicans. 285 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 3: I think that's a good idea. I think Mayhan has 286 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 3: a very long way to go from where he's currently 287 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 3: polling at four percent, and a very short run way 288 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 3: to get there. So I'm not sure that you could 289 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 3: spend enough money in the short time period to get 290 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 3: people to pay attention and vote for him by May 291 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 3: fourth is when the ballots drops, So I think he 292 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 3: might he might not be the ticket for Silicon Valley 293 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 3: billionaires who don't want a socialist California if they really 294 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 3: won't exist state. They should go for candidates who are 295 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 3: sensible on policy, and we'll provide a check against the 296 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 3: goofy leftist legislature which is so far to the left 297 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 3: of the people of California. We see that in the 298 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 3: in the votes on ballot initiatives. The people of California 299 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 3: are much more centrist and the legislature is way to 300 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 3: the left. So I would say that the best path 301 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 3: is to get behind sensible policies and back sensible candidates, 302 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 3: and in this election they're on the Republican side. 303 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: Susan Shelley, columnist for the Southern California Newsgroup and host 304 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: of the Howard Jarvis radio Show, which airs Tuesday nights 305 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: on KABC in La KSFO in the Bay Area.
