Speaker 2: two two. Well. Much has been written about how Nancy
Speaker 2: Pelosi was able to strong arm Joe Biden into dropping
Speaker 2: out of the twenty twenty four presidential race well. At
Speaker 2: a forum that took place yesterday right here in the
Speaker 2: state of California, the San fran ma'am explained in great
Speaker 2: detail how she put a horse's head in Grampy Joe's
Speaker 2: bed and some arsenic and his metabusal.
Speaker 1: We love everybody.
Speaker 3: This was Nancy Pelosi at the Politico Forum. Let's hear
Speaker 3: what she had to say. Video courtesy of c SPAN.
Speaker 4: Do you regret not speaking up earlier about President President
Speaker 4: Biden's decision to run for reelection in twenty twenty four?
Speaker 5: No, I didn't really know, quite frankly, starting off strong
Speaker 5: right out of the gate.
Speaker 3: The other most useless phrase in the English language, Quite frankly,
Speaker 3: it means nothing.
Speaker 6: I let me just say what I did about Joe Bien,
Speaker 6: because it's been written about in a way that really
Speaker 6: didn't happen. All I said to him was this, and
Speaker 6: you're going to hear this.
Speaker 1: For the first time.
Speaker 3: Oh we've got an exclusive.
Speaker 2: Everyone gather around the campfire. Grammy's going to tell a story.
Speaker 3: Look at those pearls, and so is he. I guess
Speaker 3: I write, go ahead, I'm ready.
Speaker 1: I only said to her, by the.
Speaker 2: Way, I love how when he interrupts her, she just
Speaker 2: steers him down with daggers.
Speaker 3: Have you noticed that she's not a fan of being interrupted.
Speaker 3: She has the audience, she's about to tell the story.
Speaker 3: He does not need to interject, and she's gonna let
Speaker 3: him know she does not have that much time left
Speaker 3: on this earth. She's gonna speak.
Speaker 6: I've come to question the polling that you have and
Speaker 6: how your campaign is being conducted. I think there has
Speaker 6: to be a better campaign.
Speaker 1: To win the White House?
Speaker 3: What do you saying?
Speaker 1: And so to be con.
Speaker 3: She's motioning that she's very irritated by him asking the
Speaker 3: follow up questions because she's trying to set the scene here.
Speaker 2: And you could tell when she shot him the most
Speaker 2: recent look, that was a shut the f up look.
Speaker 3: The audio is gold, but if you can hop on
Speaker 3: the video, you do got to see Nancy Pelosi in
Speaker 3: her get up giving the political reporter all kinds of
Speaker 3: dagger eyes. Check us out at Johnny don't like dot com.
Speaker 1: It's always a thing about women talking and all.
Speaker 3: How many times do you think Katie Porter has seen
Speaker 3: that face?
Speaker 2: Oh? Many, many many times Nancy Pelosi has shot Katie
Speaker 2: Porter enough daggers that Katie Porter could use those daggers
Speaker 2: to cut carrots with.
Speaker 1: Sorry for the noise, I'm cutting carrots.
Speaker 3: Did you see she was a analyst again on with
Speaker 3: Alex for election night.
Speaker 2: I saw that.
Speaker 3: Yes, I wonder if you'll ever get invited to the
Speaker 3: same green room. My guess is no. So someone's got
Speaker 3: the giggles.
Speaker 2: Her and Willie Brown.
Speaker 6: So anyway, I said, now, this is what I asked.
Speaker 1: I didn't ask him not to run anythink like that.
Speaker 1: This is what I asked.
Speaker 3: I just heavily implied it.
Speaker 2: Right when I just put that horse's head in his bed,
Speaker 2: he kind of got the impression that I wanted him
Speaker 2: to drop out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would hope that we could have It is
Speaker 5: a funny situation too, because she's older than him, but
Speaker 5: she can still put a sentence together barely.
Speaker 3: Well, that's mostly the dentures.
Speaker 6: Some other posters come in and sit with your polster
Speaker 6: and discuss what they hear out there.
Speaker 3: So what she Wow, we're buffering c span. Come on, wait,
Speaker 3: did we not pay our internet bill? Why is this buffering?
Speaker 3: Do I get to lower the quality? No, it's only
Speaker 3: at seven to twenty p let's go.
Speaker 6: At that point seventy two percent of the American people
Speaker 6: didn't think he should run.
Speaker 1: Or could serve a term. I don't think he knew that, Okay.
Speaker 3: So and you know, imagine if he did decide to
Speaker 3: finish that campaign, and imagine that he won and then
Speaker 3: almost immediately after getting elected, finding out that he's got
Speaker 3: cancer and had spread it. That not a good time
Speaker 3: to be presidents.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that his own people were lying to
Speaker 2: him about the numbers because according to the books after
Speaker 2: the election, at no point was he leading in the election.
Speaker 2: At no point would he have won the election, but
Speaker 2: they had convinced him that he was doing fine, and
Speaker 2: then after he dropped out. It was the same thing
Speaker 2: with Kamala. At no point was she going to win
Speaker 2: the election, but she went into election day believing that
Speaker 2: she had it in the bag.
Speaker 3: You're doing yourself a disservice as a candidate if the
Speaker 3: only poll you're looking at is your internal one and
Speaker 3: someone's just trying to make you happy because it's not reality.
Speaker 6: Let's hear some from some other posters, okay, and that
Speaker 6: can give us a real better thought. I'm not a
Speaker 6: big believer in polling in terms of who's ahead in
Speaker 6: a race, but I am believing understanding what the public
Speaker 6: is thinking because we represent them, so we have to
Speaker 6: know that. So I thought that his post, oh, listen
Speaker 6: to this, this is what they have to say. And
Speaker 6: I had to listen to that. But I said, that's
Speaker 6: interesting and maybe right, but it may not.
Speaker 3: Because so she's telling him your polls are crap, and
Speaker 3: he says, no, no, no, no, Look they love me.
Speaker 2: Someone had to tell them.
Speaker 4: Quite frankly, it's right now.
Speaker 1: It ain't working.
Speaker 6: So I just think that for the campaign to continue
Speaker 6: and to prevail, which we must win, we should have
Speaker 6: other posters involved.
Speaker 3: And So was not a fan of the He drops
Speaker 3: out and immediately says, oh it's Kamala.
Speaker 2: Oh no, she wanted it to go to an open
Speaker 2: convention because she has had a low opinion of Kamala
Speaker 2: going all the way back to San Francisco.
Speaker 3: Everything goes back to the Bay Area.
Speaker 1: We are doing it.
Speaker 6: And I did say this, I think the public would
Speaker 6: like to hear that you've had a testing that demonstrates
Speaker 6: that you can serve the.
Speaker 1: Next diagnostic from a doctor.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like that, that's all I said. I didn't They
Speaker 6: said I told him not to run. Never I've never
Speaker 6: told anybody not to run.
Speaker 1: How do you repond?
Speaker 6: I ask you?
Speaker 4: Now? How do he respond?
Speaker 3: Can I ask?
Speaker 6: He responded, We were prayerful, you know, Catholic, we're prayerful.
Speaker 6: We had rosaries and all that, and we had a
Speaker 6: lovely meeting. It was only the two of us, except
Speaker 6: when you put somebody on the phone to talk about
Speaker 6: the polls.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's so embarrassing.
Speaker 2: Could you imagine her there with a rosary beads as
Speaker 2: she's committing a hit.
Speaker 3: M m, Well, she wants to make sure she sends
Speaker 3: you to the right place afterward.
Speaker 1: We love everybody.
Speaker 6: So whatever people said about it there didn't come for me.
Speaker 6: Or maybe it came from somebody in his staff.
Speaker 3: So she goes to see the then president Joe Biden,
Speaker 3: and she sits him down and says, hey, we're seeing
Speaker 3: what's going on. People are pissed about inflation, and they're
Speaker 3: pissed about the border, and they don't think you can
Speaker 3: handle this. And he says, no, no, no, let me call
Speaker 3: my guy.
Speaker 2: He says we're doing great, and she said, your polls
Speaker 2: are crap and everyone thinks you're dying quite frankly.
Speaker 1: But none of his staff was really in the room.
Speaker 6: He said, I get tested every day in what I'm
Speaker 6: doing and the rest of that.
Speaker 3: I said, well, we saw those tests, especially the ones
Speaker 3: going up the stairs, and.
Speaker 2: He couldn't go through a complete physical and release the
Speaker 2: results because if he went through a legit physical, one
Speaker 2: of the first things they would find is that he
Speaker 2: had cancer, because he had what was it, stage three,
Speaker 2: stage four, some aggressive form of cancer.
Speaker 3: Apparently now it's spread to his bones and every day,
Speaker 3: according to his son who's making all the podcast rounds,
Speaker 3: it is very painful every single day.
Speaker 2: That would have shown up back then. I would imagine
Speaker 2: in a PSA count or some other kind of test,
Speaker 2: and he couldn't reveal the fact that he had cancer.
Speaker 2: That would do him in in and of itself. But
Speaker 2: he also had clearly some form of dementia. That guy
Speaker 2: has been demented for years. And if you had a
Speaker 2: legit cognitive test and he failed a cognitive test, you
Speaker 2: can't put that out there either. So he had to
Speaker 2: find a way to punt on that because taking the
Speaker 2: test would have resulted in him dropping out of the
Speaker 2: race sooner than.
Speaker 1: A lion dog faced pony soldier.
Speaker 3: That's, by the way, not a real movie.
Speaker 6: I think people want to see something more in that regard.
Speaker 1: And then I was on and I went from there
Speaker 1: to the.
Speaker 6: MSNBC Morning Joe, and they asked me this was.
Speaker 1: A show of long standing. I was going with Belarus, Belarus.
Speaker 6: Thank you for remembering Belarus was this woman was selected
Speaker 6: president of Belarus.
Speaker 1: But the phugocracy that is there.
Speaker 3: I like that term thugocracy, thugocracy.
Speaker 2: That could be a movie title.
Speaker 6: Beholden to the thugocracy in Russia and other thugocracy, shall
Speaker 6: we say, would.
Speaker 1: Not let her serve her imprisoned her husband.
Speaker 3: You know who would love the term thugocracy. Shangey. The
Speaker 3: bureaucracy is real.
Speaker 1: It was the canon.
Speaker 6: And then she can stetlanas her name. She's a remarkable woman.
Speaker 3: And I promise anytime I hear the name's Svetlana and
Speaker 3: I am one hundred percent telling you the truth.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 3: I am reminded of when I worked at ninety seven
Speaker 3: point one, the FM talk station, and we had a
Speaker 3: weekend show that was called the Svetlana Show. I'm not
Speaker 3: making this up. It was a block show for Russian
Speaker 3: mail order brides.
Speaker 2: I was about to say when she said the name's
Speaker 2: vet Lana. That sounds like something that Stephen Klubec would
Speaker 2: order from a catalog.
Speaker 3: The guy who sold that show used to also work
Speaker 3: in sales here. You know exactly who I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: And I don't have to say his name, but everyone
Speaker 3: who works in this industry knows the only kind of
Speaker 3: person that would sell the Svetlana Showana early on.
Speaker 1: Where he husband was in prison.
Speaker 6: He's out now, but when he was in prison that
Speaker 6: we would work hard to have him freed. And because
Speaker 6: the children mis their dad, all this stuff, and I
Speaker 6: said we would do this, this, this, and this, and
Speaker 6: one of them was I would go with her to
Speaker 6: MSNBC and talk about what's happening in Belarus because.
Speaker 3: What what how does that move the needle of a
Speaker 3: political prisoner in Belarus? Well, you know what's really going
Speaker 3: to get attention to this morning, Joe.
Speaker 2: Maybe she thought that Mika Brazinski could sweet talk the dictator.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Human rights have been a big thing for me so.
Speaker 6: And of course bell Us was important in terms of
Speaker 6: what was doing in Ukraine all what so anyway, the
Speaker 6: uh the They asked the question, do you think the
Speaker 6: and I said, that's up to the president and that question,
Speaker 6: that answer, which I thought was perfectly appropriate, that's up
Speaker 6: to the president.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was the way you said it, Nancy.
Speaker 2: Oh, she stuck that knife in.
Speaker 1: Was viewed as.
Speaker 6: I don't know, and so it grew into the thing
Speaker 6: everybody I had never called anybody about this, never.
Speaker 3: Talked you know what it was. Nancy Pelosi was the
Speaker 3: first person at a house party to say I'm leaving.
Speaker 3: And then as soon as one person leaves the party,
Speaker 3: the floodgates open, and everyone who was too nervous to
Speaker 3: be the first one to say they're leaving heads for
Speaker 3: that door because they want to go home.
Speaker 2: The dominoes started a fallen.
Speaker 1: To anybody that I called. Some people called me. I said,
Speaker 1: you have to.
Speaker 6: Do what you have to do, because I want to
Speaker 6: come out and station and run all the sudd I said, well,
Speaker 6: I'm not encouraging that.
Speaker 1: That's your business. Don't even tell me about it.
Speaker 3: She just insinuated without kind of saying it, because she's
Speaker 3: kind of going all over the place, but that she
Speaker 3: was telling people Kamala shouldn't run.
Speaker 2: Tell me if you're picking up on this too. She
Speaker 2: is a very wealthy lady who is wearing thousands of
Speaker 2: dollars of clothes and jewelry. She's an upper crust San
Speaker 2: Francisco rich lady.
Speaker 3: She's got a pearl necklace that looks straight out of
Speaker 3: the Simpsons.
Speaker 2: But she talks like a mobster, doesn't she.
Speaker 3: Well, Johnny, you know better than most her history and
Speaker 3: her family.
Speaker 2: Oh yes. Her dad was Thomas di Alessandro, the former
Speaker 2: mayor of Baltimore, also known as Tommy the Elder. Her
Speaker 2: brother became Mayor of Baltimore later on, known as Tommy
Speaker 2: the Younger. Her mother was known as Big Nancy, and
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi was known as Little Nancy.
Speaker 6: But when that happened, I was deluged with elected officials saying,
Speaker 6: you gave me a path.
Speaker 3: Thank you for saying something, Nancy. So now we can
Speaker 3: all dump on him together. Everyone gets their turn.
Speaker 2: Pushing Grampy Joe closer and closer to the glue factory.
Speaker 1: I'll give you a path, but they took it as
Speaker 1: a path.
Speaker 6: And when you think of the debate and how sad
Speaker 6: that was, that's really when we learned.
Speaker 1: Because see, I.
Speaker 6: Had been speaker, and when I was speaker, I saw
Speaker 6: the president all the time. But when I wasn't then
Speaker 6: I saw maybe three times that whole year, and so
Speaker 6: had I didn't know, and I don't.
Speaker 3: He was pretty slow before twenty twenty two.

Speaker 2: All right, let's go back to former House Speaker Nancy
Speaker 2: Pelosi explaining how she shoved Grampy Joe right in front
Speaker 2: of a moving truck.
Speaker 3: This was Nancy Pelosi at the Big Politico Forum yesterday,
Speaker 3: where she also and they haven't posted the clip, but
Speaker 3: she was asked about the dust up between Wiener and
Speaker 3: Connie Chan and she's like, I don't want to talk
Speaker 3: about that, but aren't you pretty much running her campaign?
Speaker 3: I don't want to talk about that. And coming up
Speaker 3: later in the show, Connie Chan did a sit down
Speaker 3: interview with Major Garrett on CBS News and it is
Speaker 3: it's delicious.
Speaker 6: And I think he had his sort of ups and downs,
Speaker 6: and when he had when I saw him one time,
Speaker 6: he was giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Speaker 1: So that was a were vent and he was right,
Speaker 1: perfectly fine that day.
Speaker 3: I thought he was able to put a metal on
Speaker 3: her neck.
Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't exactly a game of ring toss.
Speaker 1: And so I didn't know. But I do think that those.
Speaker 3: I love how she's distancing herself, Well, I wasn't really
Speaker 3: there in the last two years, so I didn't know
Speaker 3: that he got we were in braindead.
Speaker 1: Who didn't know? Should have acted upon that information? Whatever?
Speaker 3: That misstaff and his family both, you mean.
Speaker 1: Well who ever knew?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I wonder if at this point she is
Speaker 3: pointing the blame as many do to doctor Jill.
Speaker 2: Well, how about this. Anyone who paid for cable, and
Speaker 2: definitely everyone that stole cable was aware that this guy
Speaker 2: was demented. You didn't have to sit next to him
Speaker 2: at Thanksgiving dinner to figure it out.
Speaker 3: But what she's alleging, and we know this from a
Speaker 3: lot of the books that were written, that Biden's inner
Speaker 3: circle was trying to shield him from all of this,
Speaker 3: and they were the ones going out there putting out
Speaker 3: these nonsensical statements like, oh, you should just see what
Speaker 3: he's like off camera. The guy. And I mean, look
Speaker 3: at shameless Gavin Newsome, who would constantly say masterclass.
Speaker 2: Okay, he publicly had a conversation with a dead congresswoman.
Speaker 2: After he did that, there was no excuse for anyone
Speaker 2: that did happen.
Speaker 6: Now there's the staff saying the family knew, the family
Speaker 6: saying the staff, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know, but they should.
Speaker 1: I consumer he should have because this was a great man.
Speaker 6: He had when we had the two years with him
Speaker 6: and in the majority, did great things. We had the
Speaker 6: Rescue package, the rescue from from COVID, We had the Chipseack,
Speaker 6: we had the name.
Speaker 3: Wait a second, that American rescue plan was the bailout
Speaker 3: to all these government agencies that ended up ballooning their budgets.
Speaker 3: You want to know why Bart's broke is because they
Speaker 3: started spending like Nate could never spend before because they
Speaker 3: got all this money from the federal government.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would be bragging about that, Nancy infrastructure.
Speaker 1: We had the.
Speaker 6: Packed Act to honor our veterans. We had IRA to
Speaker 6: save the planet.
Speaker 1: He did remarkable.
Speaker 3: They all call it the IRA when they don't want
Speaker 3: to say the full name, which was the Inflation Reduction Act,
Speaker 3: which did not reduce inflation.
Speaker 2: No, it didn't things people said.
Speaker 6: It was a phenomenal presidency, owner par with what LBJ did,
Speaker 6: but in a short period of time, and then again
Speaker 6: that happened. But he's wonderful and everything. I'm sorry to
Speaker 6: hear about what his son has said about his illness.
Speaker 6: But Joe Biden was a great president, accomplished a great deal, and.
Speaker 3: Then he blew it all. And then because he wanted
Speaker 3: to stay in power, he destroyed the party for years
Speaker 3: and years and years. And then because he was pissed
Speaker 3: off at Nancy, he threw Kamala in there.
Speaker 2: That was purely out of spite. That was because he
Speaker 2: thought it was Pelosi and Obama who took him out,
Speaker 2: which was correct. And he also thought that both of
Speaker 2: them wanted an open convention because that would give the
Speaker 2: Democrats a better shot at winning the White House. So
Speaker 2: they got their way by knocking him out. But Joe's
Speaker 2: party gift to them was to give them Kamala.
Speaker 3: And Kamala could have said, oh, yeah, we did some
Speaker 3: things that were wrong, we did some things that were stupid.
Speaker 3: Joe's too old. But no, no, no, no no. When
Speaker 3: Joe endorses Kamala, Joe pulls her aside and says, no daylight, kid,
Speaker 3: no daylight. Which is why Kamala goes on the view
Speaker 3: and has asked, so, what would you do differently than
Speaker 3: the current president who is not very popular? And she
Speaker 3: did not have an answer, And she even writes in
Speaker 3: her own silly book that yeah, that was one of
Speaker 3: the big ones.
Speaker 2: Who would have thought, of all the people, Sunny Houston
Speaker 2: would be the interviewer that cost Kamala Harris the election.
Speaker 3: These are interesting times that we live in, for sure.
Speaker 6: Advertising Lincoln said, public sentiment is everything. With it, you
Speaker 6: can accomplish almost anything without it, practically nothing.
Speaker 1: You will me say that what would the sentiment to prevail?
Speaker 6: People have to know, so you have to use your
Speaker 6: bally pulpit if your president, I said, tell people what.
Speaker 1: You have done.
Speaker 3: You need to be an effective communicator, and Joe Biden
Speaker 3: was a lot of things. For the last decade, he
Speaker 3: has not been in a fe communicator.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but even when he was with it, he just
Speaker 2: kind of talked forever, didn't he He was known as
Speaker 2: being a wind bag.
Speaker 3: And he would sometimes get to the really soft, whispery
Speaker 3: voice and then out of control raises voice.
Speaker 2: It was like having Richard Dawson blowing a point to
Speaker 2: as president for four years.
Speaker 1: And he did great things.
Speaker 4: Well, thanks for that contribution to the historical record. I said,
Speaker 4: I was going to ask you about the past. And
Speaker 4: that was an incredibly vivid accounting that I think will
Speaker 4: be very useful, especially the part about him.
Speaker 3: He's like, Wow, this is going to get a lot
Speaker 3: of attention, including when she got real pissed at me
Speaker 3: interrupting her.
Speaker 4: Not getting the diagnostic test I think could have helped
Speaker 4: clear some of these concerns.
Speaker 1: I don't know that he didn't. Yeah, eventually, I don't
Speaker 1: think you ever did.
Speaker 3: So the question, so that was Nancy Pelosi and the
Speaker 3: clip that has been seen quite a bit now opening
Speaker 3: up on what that meeting was like when she said, Joe,
Speaker 3: you're done.
Speaker 2: And he never did get that medical evaluation because if
Speaker 2: he did, we would have found out that he had
Speaker 2: prostate cancer much sooner.
Speaker 3: That is most likely very true.
Speaker 2: So not long ago there was, In fact, I think
Speaker 2: it was earlier this week. There was a piece that
Speaker 2: was written by friend of the show John Fleischmann about
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi and he said that she was part of
Speaker 2: the Burton political machine in San Francisco. That's how she
Speaker 2: moved up the food chain in San Francisco politics. It
Speaker 2: was Phil Burton who was the congressman. He dies, Sali Burton,
Speaker 2: the wife, takes the seat. She then gets cancer and
Speaker 2: dies and annoys Nancy Pelosi to be her successor, and
Speaker 2: Josie is successfully able to use the Burton machine to
Speaker 2: win her that seat, where she stays for decades. And
Speaker 2: after she was elected the congresswoman from San Francisco, instead
Speaker 2: of being active in the machine back home, she became
Speaker 2: active in the machine in Washington, and that's when she
Speaker 2: started to move up the ranks within the House of
Speaker 2: Representatives to end up a Speaker of the House, first
Speaker 2: female Speaker of the House in the history of the country.
Speaker 2: And she became the leader of the Democratic Caucus and
Speaker 2: knew the inns and the outs of that caucus. But
Speaker 2: kind of, let's just say, became an absentee landlord back home.
Speaker 2: No one was ever going to beat her for reelection,
Speaker 2: so why bother getting heavily involved in the local politics
Speaker 2: of San Francisco. She flew home and was there when
Speaker 2: she had to be, But it wasn't like it was
Speaker 2: when she ran for the seat back in the nineteen
Speaker 2: eighties during that special election, and because of that, she
Speaker 2: is now trying to make sure that her preferred candidate,
Speaker 2: Connie Chan, succeeds her in the Congress. The problem is
Speaker 2: the politics of San Francisco today are very different from
Speaker 2: how they were in the nineteen eighties, which is the
Speaker 2: last time the seat was open, and Nancy is now
Speaker 2: learning that it's going to be a lot harder than
Speaker 2: she thought it was to make sure that her person
Speaker 2: replaces her in her old congressional seat and not Scott
Speaker 2: Wiener and Randy That topic came up during that same forum.
Speaker 3: All right, I'm playing this off of Twitter, so let's
Speaker 3: hopefully a dozen glitch.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 3: Here is Nancy Pelosi at that same Politico forum.
Speaker 6: So it isn't this isn't a new thing. No, we
Speaker 6: had a candidate in California, but he did not win.
Speaker 6: Who was on the way on the left.
Speaker 4: He did not well, didn't you get I mean.
Speaker 3: She's talking about I'm gonna butcher at AOC's campaign guy
Speaker 3: that also ran for this seat, sykart Chaquabody.
Speaker 2: And he spent a ton of money and did not
Speaker 2: finish in the top two.
Speaker 3: John wouldn't even try to say that name.
Speaker 2: Nope, attraction in.
Speaker 4: That race for your seat.
Speaker 6: Do you think, look, I'm here nationally, I'm here to
Speaker 6: win the house.
Speaker 3: You don't want to talk about Wiener.
Speaker 2: That it is Rosie O'Donnell.
Speaker 6: I don't want to talk about a race about somebody
Speaker 6: who didn't even win to come into the top two.
Speaker 3: It is interesting, though, just to think about that dynamic,
Speaker 3: because Scott Wiener is a lot of things, but I
Speaker 3: don't think anyone would say Scott Wiener is DSA, and
Speaker 3: the fact that he is Jewish means he's definitely not DSA.
Speaker 3: But San Francisco, unlike a lot of these other places,
Speaker 3: they've had their experiments with the DSA. I mean, come on,
Speaker 3: we all remember Dean Preston when he was supervisor of
Speaker 3: the Tenderloin and they've come out on the other end
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 2: Well, don't forget Chase aboudin the DA. They kicked him
Speaker 2: out office too.
Speaker 3: La we're just doubling down on all that nonsense.
Speaker 1: I respect everybody.
Speaker 6: I don't want to talk against anyone, but I am
Speaker 6: for Connie Chan to win that seat because what I
Speaker 6: came to Congress, who are twelve Democratic women.
Speaker 1: I said, forget that, out of.
Speaker 6: Four hundred and thirty nine members of Congress, twelve Democrats,
Speaker 6: eleven Republicans, twenty three minutes. And that ended over four
Speaker 6: hundred men and twenty three women. So being the former
Speaker 6: chair of the party from California from this hall, I said,
Speaker 6: we're going to change that. And now we have over
Speaker 6: ninety we have ninety six, and we want more Democratic
Speaker 6: women in the Congress.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but in her opposition to Wiener has a lot
Speaker 3: more than he has. One of those.
Speaker 2: Although it's interesting to see how she's trying to frame
Speaker 2: this because right now they're calling him a racist and
Speaker 2: a exist over that. AI bought.
Speaker 3: Oh, we'll get to that later in the show.
Speaker 1: Exciting, it's pretty exciting. So that is.
Speaker 6: That is what had been one of my missions in Congress,
Speaker 6: and one of the biggest joys I had in Congress
Speaker 6: was to serve as a member of the House Democratic
Speaker 6: Women's Caucus, where there was great camaraderie, great.
Speaker 3: Katie invited to that caucus.
Speaker 2: Her invite got lost in the mail.
Speaker 6: The differences of opinion collaboration again, what I think women
Speaker 6: do very well, you understand.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, she did not want to talk about the
Speaker 3: Connie Chan and Scott Wiener race in this forum, even
Speaker 3: though she is actively at this point, the rumor is
Speaker 3: that she is the campaign share for Connie Chan.
Speaker 2: If you want to watch us perform the show live,
Speaker 2: go to Johnny don't Like dot com and click that
Speaker 2: like button when you're there. We're already way over one hundred.
Speaker 2: Let's get that number as high as humanly possible. Look
Speaker 2: for the thumbs up. Please give that a click. It
Speaker 2: helps us out a lot, all right. Former Secretary of
Speaker 2: Health and Human Services Javier Bacharia has emerged from his
Speaker 2: basement with a new.
Speaker 3: Proposal, free electricity for one hour a day.
Speaker 7: Scrub it.
Speaker 3: What the hell this means? Nobody knows. But let's hear
Speaker 3: what Bacharea had to say at the Politico Forum, where
Speaker 3: he still didn't commit to any debates with Steve Hilton.
Speaker 3: Here is CBS eight in San Diego. You can hear it, right, No, no, see,
Speaker 3: this is why I don't like to play things off
Speaker 3: of Twitter. No, I didn't switch the scene. That's why
Speaker 3: you can't do it. Okay, now you can hear it, increasingly, morts,
Speaker 3: Now you can hear it.
Speaker 2: I could hear it.
Speaker 3: All right, I'm a little tired today. By midweek, I
Speaker 3: start running out of steam. These twelve hour days are
Speaker 3: starting to get to me.
Speaker 8: Yeah, good morning, guys. And tackling costs, we all know
Speaker 8: that it's becoming increasingly more expensive to live here in
Speaker 8: the state of California, and one of the sectors that
Speaker 8: we all pay a little bit more for utilities here
Speaker 8: in the state, and it was a large part of
Speaker 8: the debate amongst candidates during the primary and now that
Speaker 8: we're in the general election, Jaber Bassara has a promise
Speaker 8: to voters if he's elected Governor. Massara announced the plan yesterday.
Speaker 8: It would be called the California Power Hour.
Speaker 2: Now, wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute,
Speaker 2: Wait a minute. Isn't that what the Reverend Robert Schuler
Speaker 2: called his hour of preaching on Sunday morning television from
Speaker 2: the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California.
Speaker 3: I think Bessara's gonna get sued.
Speaker 8: If enacted, families would get two free hours of electricity
Speaker 8: during the middle of the day. It could also take
Speaker 8: strain off of the grid and reduce the amount of
Speaker 8: blackouts in the state.
Speaker 2: Now, as for who would qualify.
Speaker 3: What we see, So we're gonna encourage you to use
Speaker 3: as much electricity as you want while nobody's home and
Speaker 3: you're at work.
Speaker 8: What no right now is that the proposal would be
Speaker 8: for families of four making eighty two five hundred dollars
Speaker 8: or less.
Speaker 3: It would say, okay, so it's not really the power
Speaker 3: hour for all of California.
Speaker 2: No, just for a select few.
Speaker 8: We've been estimated one thousand dollars a year for enrolled households.
Speaker 8: Here's more from Bessera.
Speaker 7: How do I pay for that? Well, it just so
Speaker 7: happens that today we produce so much solar energy electricity
Speaker 7: that oftentimes in the afternoon we can't make use of
Speaker 7: all of it and so essentially goes to waste or
Speaker 7: we ship it off to some other state.
Speaker 2: Sometimes we have to bait to ship it out.
Speaker 3: Well, we don't have as much solar as we used
Speaker 3: to lineage burned down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not in boil heids, that for sure.
Speaker 7: Why don't we use it?
Speaker 3: So you think that people aren't already using all the
Speaker 3: power that they would in the middle of the day,
Speaker 3: But we're going to encourage you to do all of
Speaker 3: your laundry at one o'clock in the afternoon. What is
Speaker 3: he talking about?
Speaker 2: Okay? Can you imagine if they just said, all right,
Speaker 2: electricity's free between let's say one and two pm in
Speaker 2: the afternoon, can you imagine what kind of strain is
Speaker 2: going to be put on the grid? People are going
Speaker 2: to think that we got bombed by Iran.
Speaker 3: There are all kinds of Biserah proposals where the first
Speaker 3: question that goes to your head is has he thought
Speaker 3: this one through? Did he come up with this on
Speaker 3: the fly because he wasn't prepared for the interview. Sometimes
Speaker 3: Javi or Bessera is the Michael Scott of candidates, where
Speaker 3: he starts a sentence and he doesn't even know how
Speaker 3: it's going to finish.
Speaker 2: Well, go back to him in the Biden administration when
Speaker 2: they said that he didn't read any of the briefing
Speaker 2: books so he would show up unprepared. I not only
Speaker 2: think he not only doesn't read the briefing books, I
Speaker 2: don't think he reads the newspaper. I don't think he
Speaker 2: reads the Fortune and the Fortune Cookie after he eats
Speaker 2: his orange chicken scrub it.
Speaker 8: Now, as for his opponent, Steve Hilton, the Republican, has
Speaker 8: proposed a couple of measures to lower utility costs. Primarily,
Speaker 8: he wants to start a California version of DOGE, or
Speaker 8: Department of Government Efficiency, as we saw with the Trump administration.
Speaker 8: He believes that cal DOGE could combine three regulatory agencies
Speaker 8: in the energy sector into one to eliminate overlap in
Speaker 8: staff redundancy. His campaign has promised that that would reduce
Speaker 8: bills by twenty five percent.
Speaker 3: Eric Anetta, So there you go. Javier Basera wants to
Speaker 3: scrub your utility bills for a certain section of the
Speaker 3: population for one or two hours a day.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, now I can turn that basement he's hiding
Speaker 2: in into a meat locker.
