1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: Something's not right here. Crime is up all over the

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: state out of control.

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: The economy is sick, high housing is expensive, and businesses

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 2: are leaving. Leaving California means fixing, and John Phillips is

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: just the man to leave the charge. It's the Fix

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 5: Oh we're having give you a little technical difficulties, sir John,

34
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 5: but anything that is great. How are you John, Hello, Randy,

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 5: It's good to see both of you.

36
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: Well, thanks so much for stopping.

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 5: It's only one hundred and fifteen degrees outside here, Springs.

38
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 3: All right, let's start out by talking about a story

39
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: that we did earlier today involving a member of the

40
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: Oakland City Council who was beaten and robbed and held

41
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: captive by a member of the Cannabis Commission in that city,

42
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: a member of a commission, by the way of the

43
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: commission that was appointed by the same councilwoman who got

44
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: beat up and robbed allegedly Rowena Brown. I always tell people,

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: Randy that politics. People think that presidential politics are vicious

46
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: and nasty and all of those things, and they it is.

47
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 3: I mean, that is not a statement that's untrue. So

48
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: I always tell people that if you want to see

49
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: really vicious politics, and you want to see it at

50
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 3: really a hand and mouth level, look to local government.

51
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: Local government. Local political races are the ones that sometimes

52
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: can be the most vicious on planet Earth. And you've

53
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: been in this business a long time, running races at

54
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: various levels, at the city level, the state level, the

55
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: federal level, you name it, you've done it. Just explain

56
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: to us how vicious those local races can be.

57
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 5: You know what, all politics is local, John, And as

58
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 5: much as you want to deny it or accept it,

59
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 5: it's the bane of democracy and it's where the rubber

60
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 5: hits the road for all of us. But well, I'll

61
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 5: tell you it can be so freaking nasty. I know

62
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 5: right now, there's a current situation in Sritos, my hometown,

63
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 5: which I love dearly, that they're just they're trying to

64
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 5: recall two members of the city council and they are

65
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 5: working their butts off trying to collect these signatures, and

66
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 5: it has turned into an absolute nasty brawl. And it

67
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 5: doesn't have to be that way, but in politics it

68
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 5: does become that way. And I think what's going on

69
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 5: in Oakland is just a barometer of where we're at

70
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 5: within a state as far as corruption is concerned, and

71
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 5: we're the fact that we don't have people like John

72
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 5: Phillips and Randy Wayney be able to hold them accountable more.

73
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 5: And what you guys do the phone again?

74
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: Oh?

75
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 5: Sorry about that? Gosh, darted it? Guys, hang on, all right,

76
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 5: here we go. We're back.

77
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: Did he just hang up? I think he did. If

78
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: he comes back, well, we'll bring him in the room.

79
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: I guess we're going to have to do a blooper show.

80
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: At some point.

81
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 3: The camera went down twice, if you're listening to us

82
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: on the radio, down to the floor, and then when he.

83
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: Picked it up the next time, it just went away.

84
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: And he's back.

85
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 5: I don't read to laugh. I'm laughing at myself now.

86
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 5: You know, it's hard getting good technical assistance here in

87
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 5: the California desert up Bomb Springs, you know. But I'm back,

88
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 5: and I do apologize.

89
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: Now you've worked with candidates at local level who've been murdered,

90
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: including a councilman from Bell Gardens.

91
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 5: He was one of my very best friends, Daniel Crespo.

92
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 5: I'll never forget the day that Daniel got murdered and

93
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 5: got shot by his ex wife And I'm sitting there

94
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 5: and actually I was working with Daniel on a campaign

95
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 5: right then and there, and his wife got pissed off

96
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 5: and killed him. And you know, politics can be a

97
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 5: vicious game. And what happened to Daniel Crespo was not

98
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 5: by accident. It was Yeah, I think it was much

99
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 5: more nefarious in to what it turned out to be.

100
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 5: And she ended up getting some jail time, but she

101
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 5: ended up getting his inheritance too, which at the end

102
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 5: of the day, if you sit and think about it,

103
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 5: I mean talk about money for hire and being able

104
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 5: to after doing the dirty deed. It just was not

105
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 5: Its just right. But I think the thing is is

106
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 5: that when politics becomes nasty, and it does become nasty,

107
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 5: all politics is local and that's kind of who we

108
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 5: have to just keep that in mind for sure.

109
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: All right, let's switch to the governor's race, because earlier

110
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: this week Steve Hilton launched his campaign his fall campaign

111
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 3: for governor, and he chose to do it, I thought,

112
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: at a very appropriate place, which is outside that cold

113
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: storage facility in Boyle Heights that was on fire for

114
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 3: a long period of time. And now the smell of

115
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 3: rotting meat has made that neighborhood almost unbearable to be in,

116
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: and the government has fallen on its face yet again.

117
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,559
Speaker 3: Those people were not evacuated. Barbara Ferrer and the mayor,

118
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: Karen Bass went to them and told them, as this

119
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: chemical fire was burning that it was perfectly safe to

120
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 3: breathe in the smoke. Now apparently they're bleeding from the nose,

121
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 3: their lungs are filled with fluids, and they show up

122
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: to these public health clinics and they're being given tile

123
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: and all and told to go home. And Bass is

124
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 3: giving money to NGOs to give them lysol and air

125
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: purifiers instead of evacuating them from the area.

126
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: And I think it really is a very.

127
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: Good example as to how the government on any level

128
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: in California just doesn't work. And in a one party state,

129
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: if you want the government to change, you have to

130
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: start voting differently. And I thought that was a really

131
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 3: important theme, a very persuasive argument that he made at

132
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: this event. Your thoughts.

133
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 5: You know, all politics is local, and what's happening in

134
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 5: Los Angeles right now in that meatcat packing facility is

135
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 5: nothing short of a criminality on steroids. Criminal criminals need

136
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,119
Speaker 5: to be dealt with, and I think what has happened

137
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 5: there is much more deep and dark than we can

138
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 5: probably ever ever imagine. I have lots of friends who

139
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 5: live in that neighborhood and is absolutely disgusting what's going on.

140
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 5: I don't know if Steve Hilton can fix his situation.

141
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 5: I don't know what can happen other than the fact

142
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 5: that the more public pressure that can be put on

143
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 5: this particular situation, the better it's going to be. And

144
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 5: so I applaued Steve Hilton for taking his campaign right

145
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 5: to the devil's doors, so to speak, to be able

146
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 5: to expose us. I don't see Hoavier Masara down there.

147
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 5: I mean, I know that he is kind of on

148
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 5: cruise mode right now on his campaign for governor. But

149
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,479
Speaker 5: these types of problems really do matter, and it's impactful

150
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 5: and it hurts and it kills people. And I think

151
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 5: this is just the worst of the worst of the

152
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 5: situation that we are witnessing right.

153
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: Now as the man who was one of the first

154
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: ones to warn up us about Gavin Newsom and about

155
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: all of his failures and deficiencies. What do you make

156
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 3: of the fact that he has yet to show up

157
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: to Boil Heights and meet with the residents in this

158
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 3: area as they live through this environmental and public health disaster.

159
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 5: I think he's mentally checked out of California. I mean,

160
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 5: he's basically counting the days for his replacement. I don't

161
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 5: think he really gives two craps about what's going on

162
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 5: in East LA And for that, it's sad. That's just

163
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 5: out of Gavin's playmate. He's too busy right now worrying

164
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 5: about Nevada and going to ed the States and starting

165
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 5: his campaign for president. So I don't really anticipate him

166
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 5: being other than just a missing an action governor for

167
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 5: the next ninety days to one hundred and twenty days.

168
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 5: The one that I really feel that that is really

169
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 5: dropping the ball on this to really show some leadership

170
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 5: is hoaber Visera. Javier represented that area in the state

171
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 5: Assembly and in the state Senate. That's his hometown, that's

172
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 5: where he chose to live after he moved from northern

173
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 5: California down to the district down to southern California. So

174
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 5: Javier Vassara has a lot of questions that he needs

175
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 5: to answer, and he needs to be showing some leadership

176
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 5: to be able to really really help those people. I

177
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 5: don't see Javier Vassara down there doing anything right now.

178
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: If Steve Elton were to call you right now and say, Raby,

179
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: I believe Javier Bessera is going to run like Joe

180
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: Biden did in twenty twenty, which is to stay in

181
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: the basement, make as little noise as possible, and rely

182
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 3: on the registration advantage to win the election. What advice

183
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 3: would you give Steve Hilton to lure Javier Besserra out

184
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: of the basement so that we actually can have a

185
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: conversation about the future of the state.

186
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 5: You know what you can. As a matter of fact,

187
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 5: I change some text messages with Steve just a couple

188
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 5: of days ago, and he's got some really big challenges

189
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 5: that have to deal with Javier Versara doesn't have to

190
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 5: do anything right now, but he's so far out in front.

191
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 5: Being able to engage him, I think is a challenge,

192
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 5: but it's not an impossible challenge. I think the more

193
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 5: clever that Steve can continue to be. And I know

194
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 5: that he's launching some new viral videos that are really

195
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 5: really appealing and very very sexy and very very fun.

196
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 5: But that keeps the pressure on hobbyer Versara. You know,

197
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 5: he's you can't run against Gavin Newsom right now, You've

198
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 5: got to run against Javiersera and that might is my advice.

199
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 5: To be able to take the case right directly to Javier.

200
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 5: I would go almost I would almost go nuclear. I

201
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 5: would get a copy of Hoabbier's UH calendar and I

202
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 5: would follow him to events. I would I would demand

203
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 5: FaceTime with with with Javier or Bessara if I was

204
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 5: Steve Hilton, take the campaign directly into the into a

205
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 5: direction that almost becomes UH covert and militaristic without the guns,

206
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 5: and to really go after this situation one hoo. The

207
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 5: plane and sinker.

208
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 3: Officials in the Biden administration have been saying nasty things

209
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 3: about Javier Bessiera in the papers.

210
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 5: And I've known Javier for you know, thirty five years.

211
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 5: I mean I've known I've known him forever. He's not

212
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 5: a good guy.

213
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: Their assessment of him is that he is woefully unprepared.

214
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 3: He doesn't do any of the reading, he doesn't show

215
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 3: up to meetings prepared to answer questions. He is someone

216
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: you cannot rely on. He's someone who causes meetings to

217
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: go off the rails, and they cannot believe that he

218
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: is the Democratic nominee for governor in the state of California.

219
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: What is your read on his ability, his abilities as

220
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 3: a politician, and what kind of governor do you think

221
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 3: he would be.

222
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 5: Well, I think that things are scary right now is

223
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 5: the fact that he has a thirty point lead for

224
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 5: Steve Hilton. And when you get that unsurmountable amount of lead,

225
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 5: you've got to just you can do a couple of things.

226
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 5: You can run and hide, which I think he's trying

227
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 5: to do, or you can just you know, he's basically

228
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 5: on cruise control. That doesn't make it right. It gives Steve,

229
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 5: I think, a wonderful opportunity to be able to go

230
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 5: ahead and to pounce on him and to pounce on

231
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 5: his his politicalil frailties, so to speak. I mean, Javier

232
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 5: Passera is not a smart guy. He's not He's not

233
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 5: a rocket scientist. He got really lucky, and he picked

234
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 5: and choosed where he was going to run, and he

235
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 5: ran in a district that didn't take a lot of

236
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 5: votes to get elected to the legislature at the very beginning,

237
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 5: some twenty or thirty years ago, that's kind of been

238
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 5: his mode of operandi. But again, he needs to be

239
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 5: smoked out. You need you need to get this guy

240
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 5: out from from the corners and you'd be able to

241
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 5: to engage with him. And the only way you can

242
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 5: do that is to basically almost do like a gorilla

243
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 5: type warfare cup campaign. You need to follow him. You basically,

244
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 5: Steve needs to become almost like a stalker of this

245
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 5: guy for javiy Erbasara to even give two craps about him.

246
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: Javierbasera served in the House before he became Attorney General

247
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 3: of California and Secretary of Health and Human Services, and

248
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 3: he was in leadership when he was in the House,

249
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 3: and he got on the wrong side of Nancy Pelosi.

250
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 3: Apparently he threw her under the bus in front of

251
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 3: a Democratic Caucus meeting on a number of occasions, and

252
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 3: she had and has a very low opinion of him.

253
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 3: Are you surprised that someone was able to win the

254
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: Democratic nomination for governor, despite being on the wrong side

255
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 3: of Nancy Pelosi in California.

256
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 5: At this point, I think Nancy Pelosi is one of

257
00:14:53,920 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 5: the most ineffective and inconsequential members of the House. Yeah,

258
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 5: throughout the whole country. I mean her, She's got a bigger,

259
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 5: pisted up primary. She just needs to go away. And

260
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 5: I think for her to to continually fight this battle

261
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 5: that she continues to wait there is nothing more than

262
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 5: than idiotic and comical at the same same account. And

263
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 5: I think when you see how Javier Bessera is running

264
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 5: and trying to run away from people like Nancy Pelosi,

265
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's a good thing or a

266
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 5: bad thing, but it's a very effective thing for Javier.

267
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi not only has a low opinion of Javier

268
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 3: or Bessera, Apparently she has a low opinion of Scott Wiener,

269
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: the state senator who is running to replace her as

270
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: the congress member from San Francisco. But he finished in

271
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 3: first in the primary, and it looks like he is

272
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 3: the favorite to win that election in November. Are you

273
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: surprised that he's doing as well as he is despite

274
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 3: all this negative attention that he seems to generate on

275
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 3: a regular basis.

276
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 5: You know, all politics is local, and I one thing

277
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 5: that I may not agree with Scott politically, but I

278
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 5: will tell you one thing Scott has created a He

279
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 5: really has become sort of a big deal within that

280
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 5: district and people are very loyal to him. I mean,

281
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 5: he may he may get he may get yelled at,

282
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 5: he may get screened at, he may be ran out

283
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 5: of a community of events by by extreme leftist But

284
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 5: at the end of the days, you know, Scott winners

285
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 5: in the driver's seat, and I think at the end

286
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 5: of the day, maybe then that may not be a

287
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 5: bad thing for for for America to have a person

288
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 5: like Scott Wiinner on the national stage, just to show

289
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 5: that it is idiocy of this guy. The other woman

290
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 5: that is running for her his seat. I don't really

291
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,239
Speaker 5: give her much of a chance unless something really big happens.

292
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 5: But who knows. I don't know. But as of right now,

293
00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 5: I think, you know as much as I just like

294
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 5: Scott Wiener. I got to give him props.

295
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 3: The DSA has been doing well in Democratic primaries, not

296
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 3: just in New York, but in Colorado and here in California.

297
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 3: In the Central Valley. What do you make of the

298
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: DSA winning all of these races and do you think

299
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 3: this is foreshadowing for what's going to happen in the

300
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight presidential Democratic primary.

301
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 5: You know what, I think it's kind of a fad,

302
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 5: but it's an effective fad. And I think the more

303
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 5: that that, you know, one thing that Trump is trying

304
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 5: to do right now, which I think is very effective,

305
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 5: is instead of referring to them as social seas, referring

306
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 5: to them as communists. And when you start doing things

307
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 5: like that, when you have men Donnie making these outlanders

308
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 5: comments like He's going to go ahead and arrest net

309
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 5: and Yahoo, the more the more they show their hand,

310
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 5: the more people start getting a little a little concerned.

311
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 5: I think right now that you know, you start pulling

312
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 5: that here in California, which they have, they they're doing,

313
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 5: they're doing a yeoman's job to be able to go

314
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 5: ahead and create division. I think one thing it's going

315
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 5: to have to happen is that the Democratic Party is

316
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 5: gonna have to say, listen, if you're if you're being

317
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 5: a member of the DSA, is not being a member

318
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 5: of the Democratic Party. You need to start your own party.

319
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 3: Uh.

320
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 5: And I know that. I mean I remember when I

321
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 5: was working for Robert F. Kennedy Junior, when he was

322
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 5: running for president against President Trump. We we tried to

323
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 5: get him on the ballot in different states and we

324
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 5: decided to start our own party called the We the

325
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 5: People Party. It was a disaster. It was an absolutely

326
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 5: freaking disaster. I mean, we had to get we had

327
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 5: to get a well, I think we had to get

328
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 5: ninety three thousand people to change their registration to the

329
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 5: We the People Party here in California. I think we

330
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 5: got about fifteen thousand to do it. Even I I mean,

331
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 5: as a senior advisor, I wouldn't even become a member

332
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 5: of the party have the We the People Party. I'll

333
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 5: strick to my my no party preference and trially do so.

334
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 5: But I think I think what we do is we

335
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 5: can take a lessons on democracy. Uh And and I

336
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 5: think it's kind of the I think being DSA is

337
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 5: sort of the soup de jour. And I think it's

338
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 5: that the great thing on the menu right now. But

339
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, within the next couple

340
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 5: of years, there is either going to be huge and

341
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 5: they're going to completely take over with the democratic establishment

342
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 5: and to create their own party or are it's going

343
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 5: to becoming like a fly by night thing.

344

Speaker 4: slash At Accountability Podcast Now.

377
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 3: We just had a discussion with strategist Randy Economy about

378
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 3: what Steve Hilton is going to do to lure Javier

379
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 3: Bacharia out of the basement and force him to answer questions,

380
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 3: debate the future of the state, and meet voters. As

381
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 3: of now, Bakaia has shown zero interest in doing any

382
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 3: of that. Another thing that Hilton is going to have

383
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 3: to do if he's going to be competitive in this election,

384
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 3: is he's going to have to win the votes of

385
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 3: people who did not vote for Donald Trump. California voted

386
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 3: for Kamala Harris. It voted for Joe Biden, it voted

387
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 3: for Hillary Clinton three out of three opportunities, they voted

388
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 3: against Donald Trump. It's a deep blue state. There's no

389
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 3: way it works for Steve Hilton without getting Democrat support

390
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 3: in the November election. And Randy he recently explained just

391
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 3: exactly how he plans on doing that.

392
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 4: For more on this, here's a report from ABC seven

393
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 4: in the Bay Now.

394
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 6: To your Voice, to your vote, and Republican candidate for governor,

395
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 6: Steve Hilton has a new question for California voters. Can

396
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 6: you be anti Trump and still vote for him?

397
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 7: Interesting question, and that is the message in a new

398
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 7: full page ad in the San Francisco Chronicle, as the

399
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 7: Trump backed candidate looks to close the large gap between

400
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 7: him and Democrat Jabo Basseira.

401
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 6: ABC seven Eye Witness News political reporter Monica Madden is

402
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 6: here now with more from both of the campaigns.

403
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 8: Monica oh and Dan.

404
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 9: After the primaries, we typically see campaign season really rev

405
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 9: up after Labor Day, but it's en up Hilton.

406
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: Now we're starting early middle of summer. At least, there's

407
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: no more Tom Steyer ads. I'm Tom Steyr and I'm

408
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: about to ride the d.

409
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 9: Battle for Steve Hilton, which is why we might start

410
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 9: seeing his ads earlier as the Republican looks to sway

411
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 9: Purple voters.

412
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 10: I get it, maybe you hate Trump, Mago whatever.

413
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 9: In new campaign ads Wednesday, Steve Hilton is looking to

414
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 9: appeal to never Trumper's life here.

415
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 10: Has become impossible for anyone who isn't already rich.

416
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 9: But with the backing of President Donald Trump. I wanted

417
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 9: to ask Hilton about this shift in his messaging. Do

418
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 9: you think the President's endorsement of you is a liability

419
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 9: in California?

420
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 10: No, I think it's a positive thing. There's so many

421
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 10: things where it would be better for Californias if we

422
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 10: had a more constructive relationship with the federal government.

423
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 4: Hilton says he's Gavin likes a fight, though, and what

424
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 4: he said is true, especially if you have a governor

425
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 4: that's going to deliver.

426
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 3: If you have a governor and an Attorney General who's

427
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: interested in rooting out the fraud that the State of

428
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 3: California is facilitating, then the federal government would be more

429
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 3: likely to give us more money if they knew that

430
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: it wasn't going to be stolen by Crooks.

431
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 4: Listener Jimmy writes in Trump needs to turn on him

432
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 4: to give him any chance at all.

433
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 9: Not naive about the state's democratic supermajority.

434
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 10: And I'm just trying to be very honest and clear

435
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 10: with people and say, look, I'm not an ideologue. I'm

436
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 10: a pragmatic problem solver with business experience.

437
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 4: He probably is the most educated policy guy of any

438
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 4: party that's ever run for an office like this. I

439
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 4: mean you go to his website and every single platform

440
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 4: has like a sixteen page book of ideas. He has

441
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 4: done his homework and it's a far cry from the

442
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 4: days of John Cox and his bear Well.

443
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 3: He wrote a book about it too, about all the

444
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 3: problems facing the state cus California and what solutions he

445
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: thinks will get.

446
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: Us out of this hole.

447
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 4: Gavin wrote one of those books too, called Citizenville. Didn't

448
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 4: work out too well.

449
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 10: Reform Experience. Yes, it's true I'm a Republican. It's true

450
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 10: that I was on Fox News. I'm endorsed by Trump,

451
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 10: that's all true. But it's also true that I've got

452
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 10: some positive, practical plans to make life better.

453
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 9: A spokesman for Javier Pasta telling ABC seven quote, if

454
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 9: you're sick of high prices at the pump and the

455
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 9: produce aisle. Voters won't find salvation in Donald Trump's disciple.

456
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 8: You can't.

457
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: Now wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute.

458
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 3: Why is it that gasoline is more expensive in California

459
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 3: than in all other states in the Union.

460
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: That's not Donald Trump.

461
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: It's more expensive here than in all the states that

462
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 3: border US Nevada, Arizona, Oregon. It's even more expensive here

463
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 3: than it is in Hawaii. And everything has to be

464
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 3: shipped in by vessel.

465
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 9: The affordability crisis while carrying water for the man causing it.

466
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 11: For Steve Hilton to have any chance, he would have

467
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,239
Speaker 11: to break into a lot of those independent voters and

468
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 11: then also more moderate, less partisan Democratic voters.

469
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 9: Political data guru Paul Mitchell says, this race is ultimately

470
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 9: in number.

471
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 3: By the way, I love the fact that they leave

472
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 3: out that he was the one that drew the lines

473
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 3: for proposition fifty, and they act like he's just some

474
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 3: sort of independent analyst who's here to explain what's going on.

475
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: Well, he does have the website political data.

476
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 11: If he is extremely effective at doing this, he might

477
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 11: have an ability to deflate some of the anti Trump

478
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 11: ferber from the Democratic side.

479
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 1: Doesn't his hair kind of look like he's stuck a

480
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: fork in a light socket.

481
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks like he was stealing some copper wire

482
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 3: and had a tough time with.

483
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 11: It, and do something who increase Republican engagement, maybe soften

484
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 11: the anti Republican stance of a lot of more moderate Democrats.

485
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,959
Speaker 9: Last week's PPIIC poll shows Bassetta leading Hilton by a

486
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 9: wide margin.

487
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: Come on, California.

488
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 4: I mean, I know it's just one poll and it's early,

489
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 4: but that is a come on, it's depressing.

490
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 12: Scrub it.

491
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 4: Sixty one percent of people in that poll looked at

492
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 4: Javier Bessera and say, it shows you that it's all

493
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 4: about partisanship and it has nothing to do with the candidate.

494
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: Here's the sad part.

495
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 3: I think if the Eric Swalwell rape allegations dropped after

496
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 3: the primary instead of before, and he won the primary,

497
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 3: I think the numbers would be about exactly the.

498
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 9: Same, sixty one to thirty six percent. And with those numbers,

499
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 9: Mitchell tells me it's not a question of whether Bassa

500
00:27:59,200 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 9: will win, but.

501
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 8: How he might win.

502
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 9: After speaking with the Bassetta team, they tell me that

503
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 9: they're not going to.

504
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 4: Notice how she's speaking with the team because Javier Bessera

505
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 4: is not doing any interviews.

506
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,239
Speaker 3: No, and when they play footage of him responding to

507
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 3: an issue, it's always really old footage. They're not using

508
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 3: anything fresh because he's not making himself available to them.

509
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 8: Can he vote for granted here and will still run?

510
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 4: The only public appearances made this entire month was that

511
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 4: that Latino voter conference where he said, make sure you

512
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 4: don't go to a restaurant, go to a taco truck instead.

513
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 3: But see, that's why they can't put him out there

514
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 3: because that turned into a subject of ridicule because you

515
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 3: look at all of these taco stands that don't have

516
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 3: business licenses, that aren't paying taxes, that are not inspected

517
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 3: by the county Department of Public Health, and they're allowed

518
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 3: to operate without being shut down by the government, right

519
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 3: outside of restaurants who have to deal with all of

520
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 3: the crushing taxes and fees and regulations.

521
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 8: Million dollars.

522
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 4: Whereas Hilton there you go, you froze for a second,

523
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 4: think you're back, Now I'm back.

524
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 8: He has raised just over eight hundred and twelve.

525
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 4: For a second, I thought it was just you were

526
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 4: having a little bit of a pregnant pause and you

527
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 4: were about to make a point, and I'm like, nope,

528
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 4: his eyes are still blinking.

529
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: Well, I'm here and I'm back thousand dollars.

530
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 8: So big discrepancy there.

531
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 4: I know, if you heard that last bit, this is

532
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 4: how much money has been raised since June.

533
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 8: But then six million dollars.

534
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: But Sarah at six million.

535
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 9: Whereas Hilton has raised just over one eight hundred and

536
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 9: twelve thousand dollars.

537
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 8: So big discrepancy there.

538
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 4: Think of how much money was spent in the June

539
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 4: primary and how much has been raised in the first

540
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 4: month of the general.

541
00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: All the money's gone oh yeah, right now now.

542
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 3: But Sarah is raising money from groups that have business

543
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 3: in Sacramento, all the public employee unions who want big contracts,

544
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 3: all of the individuals that have contracts with the state.

545
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 3: They're selling us things vendors, and they want to continue

546
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 3: to be in his good graces. Those are the groups

547
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 3: that are all kicking in to him. But the activist

548
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 3: types have just turned it off. I'm sure the party

549
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 3: is turning it off because now they feel that the

550
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 3: seat is safe from the point of view of the Democrats.

551
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 3: The threat always was a Democratic lockout in November. They

552
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: were worried that Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton would get

553
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 3: in the one and two slots and the Republicans would

554
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 3: then pick the seat up from the Democrats. Once that

555
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 3: threat went away, once Donald Trump endorsed Steve Hilton and

556
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 3: there was really no chance of that happening anymore, that's

557
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 3: when they took a deep of relief and recognize that

558
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 3: the odds of getting one or two Democrats on the

559
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 3: November ballot were high enough that they didn't have to

560
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 3: worry about it anymore.

561
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: And now this is not a race.

562
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,959
Speaker 3: I would assume that many Democrats are going to even

563
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 3: pay attention to which is good news for this guy.

564
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 12: Scrub it.

565
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 3: It's the John Phillip Show. It's the John Phillip Show.

566
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 3: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is

567
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 3: the telephone number one eight hundred two two two five

568
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 3: two two two. If you're watching us on YouTube, please

569
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 3: hit that like button. We want to get that number

570
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 3: as high as possible. All right, Randy, We've got more

571
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 3: problems with squatters in La County.

572
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 4: Specifically a Frenchman who overstayed his Airbnb to the point

573
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 4: where we had to go through some creative means to

574
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 4: get him out of there.

575
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: Why a Frenchman.

576
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 4: Who knows for more? Here is ABC seven.

577
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 12: A woman reached out to seven on Your Side investigates

578
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 12: after an Airbnb guest refused to leave her town home

579
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 12: in Hermosa Beach. That week's long rental became a week's

580
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 12: long nightmare for the homeowner.

581
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 4: Tonight, you'll see, seriously, our eviction laws in the state

582
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 4: of California are insane.

583
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 3: And we have a woman who made the runoff in

584
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 3: the mayor's race who ran on the platform that California

585
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 3: is to landlord friendly.

586
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 6: See what happened after Seven on your Side went knocking.

587
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 4: I went to Susan for to Rob Hayes explains how

588
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 4: to keep this from happening to you.

589
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 13: Wendy Weisman may work in the software industry, but for

590
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 13: the past decade or so, poker has been her passions.

591
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 13: The Socale native a frequent competitor.

592
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: Wait, she plays at the bike.

593
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 4: I mean, I know that's probably the closest card house

594
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 4: to her, but that's a vibe.

595
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 13: She likes playing Cards World Series of Poker, but recently,

596
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 13: Weisman says she was Delta full house in all the

597
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 13: wrong ways.

598
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 8: He just refused to leave.

599
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 13: Weisman is talking about this guy. Do you think it's

600
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 13: fair that you're staying here and not paying?

601
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's sweety fair. He seems like a nice guy.

602
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: He's a salty Frenchman.

603
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 13: That was Evan Lamark, a man from France who slams

604
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 13: doors and drops f bombs.

605
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 5: Back for more. Yeah, hey googoo oh.

606
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: Pepe few is upset.

607
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 13: Lamark was living in Weisman's Hermosa Beach town home, which

608
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 13: he originally booked for a month through Airbnb. Weisman says

609
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 13: after paying for forty eight days, though, he refused to leave,

610
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 13: and he stopped paying.

611
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: And the state of California allowed him to Yep, because

612
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: that's what they do.

613
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 4: The moral of this story is, if you're going to

614
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 4: rent out your home as an Airbnb twenty nine days

615
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 4: or less, once they get to day thirty, they have

616
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 4: tenants rights.

617
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 5: It's squatting. It's definitely squatting.

618
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 13: Wiseman it's been listening to town home on Airbnb for

619
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 13: the past two years. Because Hermosa Beach restricts short term

620
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 13: rentals in her neighborhood, she can only offer the property

621
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 13: for bookings of thirty days or longer, and that is

622
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 13: the root of her problem.

623
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 4: So she can't rent the place out for a weekend.

624
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 4: She can only rent it out to somebody that's definitely

625
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 4: going to scam her.

626
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 3: I don't think i'd fool around with Airbnb in this date.

627
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 14: No, to allow someone to remain in occupancy for thirty days,

628
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 14: they establish tendancy rights, and then you have to use

629
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 14: the civil litigation process to remove the person.

630
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 13: Real estate attorney Daniel Bornstein's as that process in California

631
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 13: can take six months or even longer in some cases.

632
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 4: I remember a story like this back in Redlands where

633
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 4: people did this on purpose. They knew California's laws and

634
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 4: they knew they could not get evicted. It's insanity how

635
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 4: squatter friendly we are. By the way, I have to

636
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 4: point out this comment listener D. D. Proud writes in

637
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 4: how do you get rid of a Frenchman? Have a

638
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 4: German crash the place and evade?

639
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 13: And with the Olympics coming to la in a couple

640
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 13: of years, he says even more disputes over short term

641
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 13: rentals like this can be expected as tours from around

642
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 13: a world.

643
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 4: This is yet another reason, even though you think you

644
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 4: might make a ton of money from it, it's not

645
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 4: a great idea to airbnb out your house for the Olympics.

646
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: I would pour it in.

647
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 13: Bornstein's advice to those thinking about sharing their home on

648
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 13: Airbnb or other platforms, make sure you have proper documentation

649
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 13: to establish identities, confirm the date they are vacating, check

650
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 13: that they have airline tickets booked out of California on

651
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 13: the appropriate dates, and do not rent for more than

652
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 13: twenty nine days at a time.

653
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 5: You would have the right to change the lots. At

654
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 5: that point in time, it.

655
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 3: Was okay, but her city doesn't allow that to happen.

656
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 3: So it's great that you put that on the screen.

657
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 3: But if the reality is what you're suggesting is not doable,

658
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 3: then what's the alternative.

659
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 13: In this case, it was too late to change the locks,

660
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 13: and as the days dragged on, She says, her costs

661
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 13: piled up a six month of fiction process would equal

662
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 13: more than seventy thousand dollars in lost rental income.

663
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 5: This is going on?

664
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 4: Is it any wonder why so many people choose to

665
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 4: not be a landlord in the state of California.

666
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: I would never do it.

667
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 9: To devastate me if he ends upstained, you know, for

668
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 9: any length of time.

669
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 13: Plus she stills to pay her mortgage and property taxes

670
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 13: during that time and all the attorney fees related to eviction.

671
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 13: As for any help from Airbnb, the company says it

672
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 13: tried to contact the guest multiple times but was unsuccessful.

673
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 5: Airbnb did like the absolute minimum.

674
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 8: I mean, they said, call your local law enforcement.

675
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: But what you can't we just kick him out of

676
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: the country.

677
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 13: Nope, Smith says, because this was a civil matter, police

678
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 13: wouldn't be able to do anything that's right.

679
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 4: If you're illegally squatting in someone's house, it is not

680
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 4: a did you say, hus, I've been in Canada too long?

681
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 4: It is not a criminal matter. It's a civil matter.

682
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 4: So the police can't do a damn thing.

683
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 13: Are you staying in the airbnb and not paying?

684
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: I explained the news distituation. Can you explain it.

685
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 5: To us though? Why?

686
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 13: SMI tells us Lamark claim?

687
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: Lamar, where is rude?

688
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 12: Very?

689
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 13: His credit card was stolen and he couldn't leave until

690
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 13: it was replaced. But a couple of days after we

691
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 13: chased down Lamark, his squatting plan sprung a literal leak.

692
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 7: This was just gushing water.

693
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 13: Weissman's neighbor told her water was pouring out of the

694
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 13: town home that she says constituted an emergency, allowing her

695
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 13: to enter the property, where she says she found this.

696
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 5: They tried to break into my closet.

697
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 13: Weisman felt she now legally had the upper hand, something

698
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 13: she thinks Lamark realized, because she says later that night

699
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 13: he packed up a U haul and disappeared LEA.

700
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 3: And you know he's going to do it again on

701
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 3: a different website from a different owner Vrbo Lamar's coming

702
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 3: for youving the town home a mess.

703
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: You can see there's still a lot of standing water

704
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: in here.

705
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 13: While Airbnb does offer damage insurance through its air Cover program,

706
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 13: Weissman says the company needs to do more to protect

707
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,959
Speaker 13: property owners, like provide squatter insurance when guests refuse to leave.

708
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 8: I would have taken it.

709
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 5: That would have been great.

710
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 13: We asked Airbnb about possibly offering squatters insurance, but the

711
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 13: company didn't give us an answer. Concerning Weisman's situation, the

712
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 13: company sent us a two sentence.

713
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: He literally ran out of there so fast he didn't

714
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: finish his back at statement.

715
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 13: Issues like this on Airbnb are very rare. In this case,

716
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 13: we are in contact with the host and have removed

717
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 13: the guest from our platform.

718
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they couldn't remove him from the site, so no,

719
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 4: you're great help Airbnb.

720
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,799
