Today we're learning more details. 23 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 3: And to be clear, X mistress, this is the affair 24 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 3: from twenty years ago. Ruby Rippy, his best friend, campaign 25 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 3: manager's wife, who was an aid on his campaign. She 26 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,199 Speaker 3: did a great tell all expose.

It's just as 33 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 3: good the second time. But let's see how San Francisco 34 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 3: is reacting to Gavin's dirty laundry getting aired. Here is 35 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 3: ABC seven. 36 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 4: In the Bay. 37 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 5: They new details emerged about an affair that happened more 38 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 5: than twenty years ago between Governor Gavin Newsom and Ruby Rippy, 39 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 5: and that's when she was an AID and he was 40 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 5: the mayor of San Francisco. 41 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 3: Now for the first time, by the way, think about 42 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 3: this in the context of Gavin Newsom going to war 43 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 3: with state workers, saying you need to go back into 44 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 3: the office. Because one of the strange things that he 45 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 3: kept saying is, well, we want people to collaborate. We 46 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: want people to build friendships, relationships, fall in love. Like, 47 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 3: I don't really know if you're the best authority on 48 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,559 Speaker 3: what you should be doing with your coworkers. 49 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 4: Buddy. 50 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Well, the husband is breaking his back. So 51 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 2: you get elected. You're off at a bar, the back 52 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: of a bar with his wife. 53 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 6: And publicly, Rippy detailed the months long on and off 54 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 6: again affair with her boss, how it began and ripped 55 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 6: apart her marriage in an essay published in Vanity. 56 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 5: In a statement in Newsom's office as the governor acknowledged 57 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 5: his role and publicly apologized nearly two decades ago when 58 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 5: he was still mayor. 59 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: How much of his book was dedicated to this. I 60 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 3: feel like he kind of glossed over this chapter in 61 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: his life. 62 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he did. He doesn't want to remind people 63 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: of this. He's expecting female voters to propel him to 64 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 2: the White House, and if this story gets out, he 65 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: looks like a dog. 66 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: So you imagine being the ghostwriter and you're having conversations. 67 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 3: All right, So we want to get into you know, 68 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 3: that dark moment in your life where you had this 69 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 3: affair and you said that you went to rehab and 70 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 3: you really didn't. And Gavin says, now, instead of that, 71 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 3: can we do a whole chapter on how I'm really 72 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 3: into Tony Robbins. Well, my favorite part of the story 73 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 3: was his come online, which was, oh, it looks like 74 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 3: you lost the. 75 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 4: Pregnancy way the likest crowd calls that aneg imagine walking up. 76 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 2: To some woman and you're trying to get her to 77 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: sleep with you or do whatever they did in the 78 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: back of the bar, and your come online is oh, 79 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: look at you, You're not as fat as you used 80 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: to be. This was a different time. 81 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 3: It sounds to me like Gavin Newsom was a practicing 82 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 3: member of likeus. 83 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 4: One oh one, you know what I think? He said? 84 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: Next, what's that? Do you have mirrors on your shoes? 85 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: Because I can see myself in your pants. 86 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 4: We're here till three. 87 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 5: So joining us now to talk more about this is 88 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 5: ABC seven Eyewitness News insider Phil Mattier. Phil, we've known 89 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 5: about this affair and it happened twenty years ago when 90 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 5: he was separated from his first wife, Kimberly Guilfoyle news 91 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 5: and acknowledged that had happened. 92 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 3: So Kimberly Guilfoyle who used to be engaged to Don Junior, 93 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: who John just did a podcast with Don Junior and 94 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom are Eskimo Brothers. 95 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: Oh, we talked about Gavin Newsom on that podcast too, 96 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: along with Barbara Farrer, and I had a lot to 97 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: say about her. 98 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 5: Whine now and is there anything new to this story 99 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 5: that could be bad news for Newsom? 100 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 7: Well, what could be bad news for Newsom is more 101 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 7: than just this story. What this story does is refocuses 102 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 7: in the time of his life when he was rising 103 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 7: like a rock star in American politics after legalizing gay 104 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 7: marriage in San Francisco. His own marriage, however, was crumbling. 105 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 7: He was drinking heavily. 106 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 3: And he was going off on people like Dan Neys 107 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 3: for asking about his drinking. 108 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: How did he not gain any weight if he was 109 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: a heavy, heavy, heavy drinker? And red wine is his 110 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: drink of choice because if I'm not mistaken in Randy, 111 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: I know you're a wine drinker, So correct me if 112 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 2: I'm wrong. Wine has more calories than Coca cola, does 113 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: it not? 114 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 4: It does? 115 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 3: But typically if you're in the drinking heavily part of 116 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 3: your life and you're going out partying and you're out clubbing. 117 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 3: Even though he is associated with a winery and he 118 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 3: has plumpjack, it doesn't necessarily mean that when he's drinking heavily, 119 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 3: wine is his drink of choice. Because Johnny, what did 120 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 3: we find out from one of his podcast co hosts 121 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: about when the fires broke out in the Palisades? According 122 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 3: to Doug Hendrickson, who is the guy that's not Marshawn Lynch, 123 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 3: Gavin chugged an entire bottle of tequila, which is not 124 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 3: something that most people who have gotten to AA do, 125 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 3: but it's also a very low calorie alcohol. Well, maybe 126 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 3: he switched from wine to tequila because he was concerned 127 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 3: about his figure, or maybe he was concerned that the 128 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: red wine would stain his teeth. You've seen people who 129 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 3: have stained teeth because of the red wine. In fact, 130 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 3: I was out of dinner not long ago and someone 131 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 3: was drinking red wine and they said, does this wine 132 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 3: make my teeth look purple? And I told the person no, 133 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 3: they're still yellow. Now there's also the possibility, and I'm 134 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 3: not alleging anything here, I'm just looking at what has 135 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 3: been written in this essay from Ruby Rippy, and she 136 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 3: says that in order to keep up with all the drinking, 137 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 3: she needed to do lots and lots and lots of cocaine. 138 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 3: I'm not alleging that Gavin did any of that, although 139 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 3: there are plenty of listeners who will email us that 140 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 3: will say I have stories. But that being said, again, 141 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 3: I'm not alleging anything. I don't know what happened here, 142 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 3: but cocaine is also something people do to keep that 143 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 3: trim figure. 144 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 2: Well, I want to know where they did it at 145 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 2: the bar, because bars aren't known for having private rooms. 146 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 2: Were they doing it on the blender when the bartender 147 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: was making penia coladas? 148 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 3: I think he did it in the bathroom. You think 149 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: so handicap stall was occupied. 150 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 2: Well, nothing's more erotic than a men's room with a 151 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 2: tampon machine. 152 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 7: Behavior was, even according to those closest to him, I recall, 153 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 7: was out of control at times. It's not a pretty 154 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 7: time in his life. It's one that he acknowledged in 155 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 7: his recent memoir that was published, Young Man in a Hurry, 156 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 7: But he minimized the most of it, and when it. 157 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 3: Came to he was riding on a real high being 158 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 3: mayor of San Francisco, getting all that kind of attention, 159 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: and you're like in your early thirties. 160 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 2: He was the party boy mayor. Well, and keep in 161 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 2: mind what was going on at that time. That was 162 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 2: when the tech industry was exploding, and the tech industry 163 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: back then had a large presence in San Francisco. It 164 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 2: wasn't all in San Jose in the South Bay. A 165 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 2: lot of it was still in San Francisco back then. 166 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 2: So he was king of the hill in a city 167 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: that was hopping. 168 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 7: Even ruby rippy turk. He said, well, that was just 169 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 7: a brief, one thing, small, not even much to talk about. She, however, 170 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 7: is being more. 171 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 4: Ruby rippy, isn't that? 172 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 2: Or a bunch of FBI agents shot up some white 173 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 2: supremacists in Idaho? 174 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 7: Different thing and owning up to it lasted a longer 175 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 7: time and it was more controversial. And so this to 176 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 7: itself may not be news earth shattering news. The question 177 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 7: is will other stories from that era start popping up 178 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 7: as a result of this. 179 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 3: I'm convinced by the way, as we see all this 180 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 3: file footage of Gavin Newsom over the years, the reason 181 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 3: he hasn't gone down to Boyle Heights. Is he's convinced 182 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 3: that his oily hair would be a fly trap? 183 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 4: Oh can you imagine? 184 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, he acknowledges it, but I'm sure he would rather 185 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 6: leave it in the past, especially with him, you know, 186 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 6: eyeing a possible presidential run. A lot of people in 187 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 6: California and northern California will know about these things. How 188 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 6: would it impact and resonate with people if he does 189 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 6: make a presidential run across the country. 190 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 7: Well, that's good point because in California we have one 191 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 7: sort of culture. In Nevada, there's a culture in Iowa. 192 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 7: There's a culture Indiana, and it may not be as 193 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 7: open as California's, but I think that everybody has sort 194 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 7: of realized what was not said in there was any 195 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 7: mention of drugs or that he was. 196 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 3: Well, there was plenty of mentions of her doing the drugs, 197 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 3: and typically when you're in a hot and heavy affair, 198 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: it's not just one person doing the bumpies. Yeah, he 199 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 3: better think twice about sending his old lady out to 200 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 3: trash this woman, because if she has the goods on 201 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 3: him for doing drugs himself, he certainly does not want 202 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 3: that out there. 203 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 7: So tried to collheerser in anyway. She says that this 204 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 7: was a mutual thing between two adults. It's probably there's 205 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 7: I've been told by a couple of sources that this 206 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 7: may be the prelude to. 207 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 3: A By the way, if if the situation is that 208 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 3: he didn't do anything when we're talking about druggy or drugs, 209 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 3: and that's possible. But if the situation is Ruby had 210 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 3: to do mounds of coke to keep up with Gavin's drinking, 211 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 3: that tells you that Gavin's drinking was so heavy that 212 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 3: he had the tolerance of our rhinoceros. 213 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: Well, who's also hanging out with someone all the time 214 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: who's doing loads of drugs and you're not doing any 215 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 2: besides you know Bill Cosby, But most of the time 216 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 2: everyone's doing it. 217 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 7: Book by ms Turk. That goes into not just the affair, 218 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 7: but her whole life coming apart and rebuilding of it 219 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 7: and her taking responsibility for it. That could come out 220 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 7: when the governor is running for president in those states 221 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 7: as well. So she yet to be determined. And let's 222 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 7: not forget that while this is in the past, currently 223 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 7: we have federal investigators going over his wife who is 224 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 7: his girlfriend, then after Ruby Turk going over her involvement 225 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 7: in various nonprofits. So there is a personal side to 226 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 7: the Gavin Newsom camelot that is not necessarily all that 227 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 7: pretty and could be controversial. 228 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 3: As And it's not just Gavin who's getting a bad 229 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 3: look at this. Kamala who back in two thousand and 230 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 3: five tells Ruby, don't come forward, keep this secret. 231 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 4: What was that about? Yeah, she was doing Gavin as 232 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 4: solid he goes forward. 233 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 5: And as he goes forward, do you see Republicans using 234 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 5: this article to their advantage? 235 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 4: Well? Probably not. 236 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: Ken Paxton, Well, Republicans aren't going to use it because 237 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: he's going to be running in a Democratic primary. The 238 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: one that's going to use it is the woman's girlfriend, 239 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. 240 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 7: Well, of course, I wouldn't be surprised if some Democrats 241 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 7: didn't hint at it as well. It's not exactly you know, 242 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 7: he's not the only person that may be looking at 243 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,599 Speaker 7: the presidency. What we have now is the question of 244 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 7: is it personality that's going to rule the roost? Gavin 245 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 7: Newsom is a star, he is up there, he is 246 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 7: in the public eye. He has put himself in the 247 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 7: public eye. But the other part of celebrity is yes. 248 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,239 Speaker 4: These pictures of him are fascinating. 249 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: He looks like Napoleon there staring off into the distance. 250 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 7: You get a lot of adoration, you get a lot 251 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 7: of pluses, but you get a lot of close examination 252 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 7: and you get a lot of embarrassing moments. This is 253 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 7: an embarrassing moment. But I know that. 254 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 3: You know, when we put together these packages of the 255 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 3: stock footage of Gavin Newsom, can they just like randomly 256 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 3: throw in there him knocking over the Chinese kids. 257 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 7: His team doesn't think it's going to hurt him, in 258 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 7: part because it's coming out early enough to where it 259 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 7: sort of inoculates and that becomes people can say, well, 260 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 7: that is in the past. That is in the past. 261 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 7: Like I said, the question is do other things come 262 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 7: up as well. For example, at the same time you 263 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 7: know he was around Ruby Turk, he was also dating 264 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 7: a nineteen year old model and hostess at at a 265 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 7: restaurant in San Francisco when he was nine years old. 266 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 3: That Gavin a nineteen year old Well, if Gavin doesn't 267 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 3: run for president, maybe you can go on season two 268 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 3: of Age of Attraction. 269 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 7: I guess raise many eyebrows back then, So we see 270 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 7: who else has stories to tell? 271 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 5: All right, Phil, It's always great to have your perspective 272 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 5: on these things. Thanks so much for your time. 273 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 3: There you go, the story of Ruby Rippy, Gavin Newsom's 274 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 3: former staffer, finally giving all the details about this affair 275 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: that Gavin wanted you to think was like a tiny, 276 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: little one time thing, but was a months long soiree 277 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 3: with a lot of drinking and a lot of drugging. 278 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 4: I totally forgot. 279 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 2: About the fact that he was quote unquote dating a 280 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 2: nineteen year old when he was in his thirties. 281 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 3: Again, more evidence to my theory that Gavin Newsom was 282 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 3: a p one listener of the Tomleikis Show. 283 00:14:58,920 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 4: He seems very. 284 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 3: Horn I'm gonna once again do you a favor and 285 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 3: not make that a drop. 286 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 4: Here you go, Gavin. 287 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 2: Now, I saw some speculation in the chat that back 288 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: in the old days in San Francisco, when they were 289 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 2: coming up through the rinks together, that Gavin and Kamala 290 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 2: may have had a thing. You think that's true. I 291 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 2: haven't heard that. It's possible. They're around the same age. 292 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 2: She's attractive, he's attractive. 293 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's possible there were both friends with Willy. 294 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 3: And would he do that to Willie? Oh, well, he 295 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 3: did it to his campaign manager. You're right, he could 296 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 3: have done that to Willy. 297 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 8: No. 298 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 3: No, I feel like if there was anything there, it 299 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 3: would have come out. Well, maybe he didn't because of Willie. 300 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 3: Maybe you're right, because if you screw Willy over, my 301 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 3: guess is you're going to end up at the bottom 302 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 3: of the ocean. 303 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 4: Who was it? 304 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 2: Someone told me a story, Someone who served in the 305 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 2: legislature with Willie told me a story one time. I 306 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 2: forget who it was, and that's probably good because I 307 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 2: would blurt out their name and I probably shouldn't do that. 308 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 2: But they did something that Willie regarded as being illegal 309 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 2: or unethical, and it really upset him. And Willy walks 310 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: up to the guy and puts his business card on 311 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: the guy's desk, because you can't have another job in 312 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 2: the legislature. 313 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 4: And you're an attorney. 314 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 2: If you're an attorney, you can practice law and be 315 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 2: in the legislature, but you can't do other jobs. Why, 316 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 2: I don't know. And so Willie puts his business card 317 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: on the guy's desk and he goes, I just want 318 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: to let you know if you do that again, you're 319 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 2: gonna need a really good lawyer.

Let's 408 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 9: take a closer look at how Spencer Pratt did. As 409 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 9: you can see, he did very well on the west 410 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 9: side Pacific Palisades. 411 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's no voters there, they're all gone. Yeah, 412 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 3: Karen Bass burned their homes down, of. 413 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 9: Course, Brentwood, bel Air and also in some parts of 414 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 9: the valley West Hills he did well, Porter Ranch and 415 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 9: of course Chatsworth. 416 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 3: Now Karen Bass, Yeah, it looks like my neighborhood was 417 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 3: a Bass neighborhood. 418 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 4: Thanks great. 419 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 9: She also did some well in primary Latino neighborhoods in 420 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 9: the valley are leda parts of Van Eyes. But of 421 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 9: course Bass doing very well. 422 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 3: It doesn't look like and this is interesting, I mean, 423 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 3: Nithia doesn't look like she got a lot of support 424 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 3: in most of her valley districts. In fact, a lot 425 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 3: of the places where Nitthia got support is not where 426 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 3: Nithia is a city council person. Because the big winner 427 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 3: in the valley, it looks like was either Bass or Pratt. 428 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 3: And I think I know why Encino would not vote 429 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 3: for Nythia because Nithia has no problem with fires in 430 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 3: the Subpulvita basin two hundred and fifty times a year. 431 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 3: But then again, Bass doesn't have a problem with that either, 432 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 3: So I don't understand any of this. 433 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 4: Well. 434 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 2: It looks like Nythia did well in places like Silver 435 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 2: Lake and Echo Park and maybe even downtown and Koreatown. 436 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: The places that are loaded with hipsters, those are the 437 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 2: types of people that are DSA and the places that 438 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 2: are loaded with. 439 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,959 Speaker 3: Renters specifically, and you're right, the districts that they're pointing 440 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 3: out there are districts that are represented by fellow dsayers 441 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 3: like Hugo Soto Martinez. 442 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's criminalize kind of lists of converters. 443 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 4: Let's criminalized Copper. 444 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 3: And Unicis Hernandez because we are the defund of police people. 445 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 9: Right where she traditionally has done well in the life 446 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 9: actions in South Los Angeles. She also performed well in 447 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 9: Venice and in Plia del Rey, And then you can 448 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 9: see Nithi Rahman doing very well in Koreatown and also 449 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 9: in North Korea. 450 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 3: Town was Nitia's district before redistricting. When Kevin Dalleon and 451 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 3: Nurra Martinez decided that the way they're going to knock 452 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 3: her out is by sending her to the valley, and well, 453 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 3: she won outright in the primary. 454 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 2: It is all renters in Korea Town. You have a 455 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 2: very high density in that part of Los Angeles, a 456 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 2: lot of big apartment buildings and a lot of people 457 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 2: who don't want to be evicted. And Nitia Raman is 458 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 2: one of the members of the city council that is 459 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: willing to do just about anything to stop evictions from 460 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 2: taking place. 461 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 9: It's Los Angeles places like Highland Park. 462 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 10: The Northeast LA strength of Ramen didn't surprise me because 463 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 10: that's where you see a lot of the more progressive voters. 464 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 10: You've seen progressive congressional candidates come through there. 465 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 8: What is a huge. 466 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 10: Question to me is can you motivate people who are 467 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 10: in these less populated areas to come out for a Democrat. 468 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 9: Now, those less populated areas that Christina Balentonia USC professors 469 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 9: referring to, they are areas that primarily went for Spencer Pratt. 470 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 9: And the big question going into the November runoff is 471 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 9: where will Pratt voters go? Will they go for Nithia Rahmen? 472 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 9: Will they go for Karen. 473 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 4: Bass, Will they go home? 474 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 2: Well, I don't live in the city of Los Angeles, 475 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 2: so I could not vote for Spencer Pratt. If I 476 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 2: did live in the city of Los Angeles, it would 477 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 2: have been a no brainer, and I would have voted 478 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 2: for Spencer Pratt. On the November ballot. In a contest 479 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 2: that pitts Karen Bass versus Nitthia Rahman, I would leave 480 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 2: it blank because I could not vote for either one 481 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 2: of those women. 482 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 9: Or will they vote at all? Balentoni believes that they 483 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 9: will vote because of issues that are important to them 484 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 9: on the ballot, like voter id Republican Steve Hilton also 485 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 9: on the ballot. A lot of those voters wanting a 486 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 9: different direction. Listen to what else Bllanoni. 487 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 4: Had to say. 488 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 10: Bess is the establishment and when you think about higher 489 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 10: turnout because of the midterm elections and congressional power on 490 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 10: the line and a new governor on the line, that 491 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 10: strengthens Bass's position because people tend to say, oh, this 492 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 10: person's already the mayor. 493 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, and she's already been a complete failure and burned 494 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 3: down several parts of the city. 495 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 4: Let's give her four more years and before the fires. 496 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 2: Her number one issue was homelessness, and the number of 497 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 2: people living on the streets has gone up despite the 498 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 2: fact that we've spent millions of dollars. 499 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 3: I would say because of the fact we spent millions 500 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 3: of dollars. 501 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 4: Good boying. 502 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 9: Now, another big question is how organized Nithi Rahmen will be? 503 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 4: What kind of are you kidding? 504 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 3: She's DSA.

This is how she woned the primary. They 508 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 3: went to a lot of people that weren't going to vote, 509 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 3: promised them eviction moratoriums and there you go. 510 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 9: Campaign Will she run? Will she be able to take 511 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 9: some of these green sections away from Karen Bass? Now, 512 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 9: just because a section of a precinct is one particular 513 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,719 Speaker 9: color doesn't mean that entire precinct voted for that candidate. 514 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 9: And with this tool that we have, you can actually 515 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 9: see how much of a particular precinct voted for a 516 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 9: particular candidate. Again, you can find all of this and 517 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 9: this very helpful tool to see how your neighborhood voted 518 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 9: on ABC seven dot com. 519 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 4: So there you go. 520 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 3: That is the map of Los Angeles, which, just to 521 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,719 Speaker 3: point out again is a really stupidly shaped, not real city. 522 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 3: And who voted for who? 523 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 4: Where? Where do you think the Pratt voters go. 524 00:27:54,160 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 3: It's a really good question because Karen Bass is at 525 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 3: least partly responsible for Pratt's house burning down. So I 526 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 3: don't see any Pratt voters going to Bass. But there 527 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 3: are plenty of Pratt voters that would never ever ever 528 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 3: go DSA. So I don't know. I don't know how 529 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 3: I'm gonna vote November. 530 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 4: It's an awful choice. 531 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 3: Maybe I can move out of the city by then 532 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 3: support our advertisers. I would like to live in San Francisco. 533 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 4: I mean, if I. 534 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 2: Owned a business in Los Angeles, I would be terrified 535 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:44,959 Speaker 2: of the DSA taking over because they do believe in 536 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 2: abolishing the police, they do believe in emptying the prisons, 537 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 2: they do believe in erasing the border. Now, some of 538 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 2: these issues are federal issues, so the mayor of LA 539 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 2: can't erase the border or can't get rid of ice. 540 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 2: But if they want to defund the cops, that's something 541 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 2: they can do. If they want to tell the cops 542 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 2: to stop arresting people. That's something they can do. A 543 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 2: DSA mayor can do a lot of damage. Soaking Karen Bass, well, 544 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 2: she's done a lot of damage. 545 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 3: The one thing that I know is Karen Bass is 546 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 3: completely untrustworthy, regardless of ideology. She is an incompetent who 547 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 3: is only out to cover her ass. And we've seen 548 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 3: that destruction all over the place. How we still don't 549 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 3: know who burned down the ten Freeway. Nithia could be worse, 550 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 3: but I know that four more years of Karen Bass 551 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 3: means your fire insurance. 552 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 4: Is going off. 553 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 2: It's the John Phillips Show. It's the John Phillips Show. 554 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 2: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is 555 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 2: a telephone number one eight hundred two two two five 556 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 2: two to two two.

We contacted the city again tonight 591 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 8: to see if there was anything they could do to 592 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 8: help this neighborhood. We were totally didn't have anyone that 593 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 8: could talk to us on camera, but that it was 594 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 8: the property owner's responsibility to take care of this issue. 595 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 3: A lot of neat Here's my question when you talk 596 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 3: about these abandoned projects, these abandoned buildings, Like the person 597 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 3: who abandoned this project, there's no way they're paying property 598 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 3: taxes right? 599 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 2: Well, how do you not lose your shirt on a 600 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 2: deal like this? Because unless you paid for it in 601 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 2: cash and own it outright, you're making payments to a 602 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 2: bank on something that you own. Why would you just 603 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 2: leave it abandoned and empty instead of doing something with it. 604 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 2: West Hollywood is a highly desirable part of Los Angeles. 605 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 2: Why not do something with it, make your money and 606 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 2: move on. 607 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 3: It makes me think of the Tagger Towers, and it 608 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 3: makes me wonder if a lot of these abandoned developments 609 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 3: are Chinese investors could be. 610 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,719 Speaker 8: First think the city needs to step in here, however, 611 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 8: because construction paused here back in twenty twenty four and 612 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 8: it's looked like this out here ever since. Tonight the 613 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 8: inhabitants of the Coyote condos once again sprawled down on 614 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,959 Speaker 8: the second story of the unfinished construction site in West Hollywood, 615 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 8: perhaps wondering what all these people were looking at. And 616 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 8: while many neighbors. 617 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 3: Are great, it's another tourist attraction. And someone's walking their 618 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 3: little dog around that. Don't do that. 619 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, your dog is going to be an appetizer. 620 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 8: Concerned, it's an unsafe situation for their families. 621 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 3: We get some in our neighborhood every now and then, 622 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,959 Speaker 3: and it drives me crazy that there's nothing the city 623 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 3: will do about it. You know what happens when a 624 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 3: coyote or a wild bar infiltrates your property in Texas, 625 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 3: you shoot it. 626 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 2: I used to live next to a golf course, and 627 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 2: golf courses attract coyotes, especially at night in the very 628 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 2: early morning hours. And one of my friends was watching 629 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 2: my house while I was gone, and he showed up 630 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 2: and there was a skunk that was on my property 631 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 2: in the front and a pack of coyotes emerged from 632 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 2: the golf course and surrounded the skunk. The skunk sprayed 633 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 2: the coyotes with the stinky spray, and the coyotes all 634 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 2: pounced on the skunk at once, and he said there 635 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 2: was literally nothing left. 636 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 4: The skunk just disappeared. Ohly cow. 637 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 8: Some worry it's unsafe for the coyotes too, when oh. 638 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 3: Of course, we care about the welfare of the wild predators. 639 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 11: They community. 640 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 3: There was somebody and it's not this piece, but I 641 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 3: had this in in my news blitz for yesterday. There 642 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 3: was somebody interviewed when they were talking about this yesterday 643 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 3: on CBS, who said, well, since the developer of bened 644 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 3: I'm glad I could go to these needy animals. Stop it. 645 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 3: Do not feel bad for the coyotes. They want to 646 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 3: kill your cat. 647 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 11: Kate and howl at night. It freaks people out. 648 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 3: So I definitely think that this is one of the 649 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 3: most expensive places to live in all of California, and 650 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 3: that's what you're next to. 651 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 4: They sound like hyenas they practically are. 652 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 11: You know, there could be people that are fearful and 653 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 11: do something that could potentially harm them, which I hope 654 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 11: doesn't happen. 655 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,720 Speaker 8: Kathy Cook works in the neighborhood and runs the Coyote 656 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 8: Snaps Instagram account. 657 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 3: Why oh wait, is this for awareness? Okay, I'm not 658 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 3: going to judge her yet. This might be a good thing. 659 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 8: She documents coyote sightings. 660 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 3: Okay, that's fine. She's doing this to show you, Hey, 661 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 3: there's a coyote in your neighborhood.
