WEBVTT - Former Biden Officials Throw Becerra Under The Bus

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:01.960
<v Speaker 1>And very happy Wednesday to you.

0:00:02.000 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 2>At twelve oh seven in the West, it's the John

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:08.280
<v Speaker 2>at Phillip Show. Mister Randy Wgings in Culver City, John.

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:10.480
<v Speaker 3>You would think it was festivus. What the airing of

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 3>the grievance is that happened last night on CNN's gubernatorial debate,

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Katie Porter. What did it feel like in there?

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:21.720
<v Speaker 4>I can't believe that, on a stage with thirty minutes

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 4>of interrupting and bickering and name calling and shouting and

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 4>disrespect for everyone up here who's stepping into public service,

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 4>that anyone wants to talk about my temperament.

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:45.760
<v Speaker 2>And Okay, what's funny is that was obviously preplanned. She

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 2>knew she was going to go out there and try

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 2>to handle the issue that way. The problem is, if

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 2>you're going to portray yourself as being above the fray,

0:00:56.160 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 2>you can't participate in the food fight. So she said that,

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 2>and then she went right back to throwing mud.

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.959
<v Speaker 3>Let's play the tape just three seconds after.

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.119
<v Speaker 4>That, wants to talk about my temperament.

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>You were actually interrupting them too. I don't know why

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>you want to act like you weren't.

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:24.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh cowboy, I'm.

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 3>So sick of this name calling. Shut up cowboy.

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>She really has no self control at all.

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Out of my shot. Everybody had these pre planned lines

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 3>and zingers, and they were all terrible.

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:42.679
<v Speaker 2>And what I like the most was the facial expressions

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.320
<v Speaker 2>on her face when it wasn't even her turn.

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I was only listening to this thing because I

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 3>can't figure out how to get CNN on my TV anymore,

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 3>so I downloaded the podcast. What were the expressions, Johnny?

0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Every single look at any other candidate was dripping with contempt.

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 2>She looked like at any given moment during that debate,

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 2>she was going to lunge across the stage and slap someone.

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 3>So I got to imagine the only way that she

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 3>was going to be able to blow off steam after

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 3>a stressful event like that was with a couple of

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 3>back to back episodes, a heated rivalry.

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 4>Why do you have to watch porn in the living.

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Room, maybe even in the morning.

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Maybe she hits rewind on a couple of scenes.

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Need to make sure that she caught everything now here

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>is what's interesting, And we'll get to some of the

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 2>sound here in a moment.

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>But I'll tell you.

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 2>I frequently tell people we had this conversation with John Morgan,

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>the attorney who as a book out about luck, and

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 2>one of the things he said, which is so true,

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 2>is you need to be a good listener to be

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 2>successful in life. If you're a good listener, you will

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:18.679
<v Speaker 2>have such a leg up on everyone else they won't.

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Even know what hit them.

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 2>And I've got to tell you the conventional wisdom, particularly

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>the wisdom that's reflected with the current polling, is that

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Javier Bakaria is the candidate who is now the front runner,

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 2>who the Democratic Party is going to coalesce behind the

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 2>same way they were prepared to do it with Eric

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 2>smallwell before he got accused of rape by nine million people.

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>And I think for the most part that is.

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 2>The storyline that the candidates are buying into, because last

0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 2>night a lot of the Democrats in particular, who are

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 2>fighting for the same voters as Bacaia, were going after

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Bacaia because they regarded him as the leader of the pack.

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Scrub it.

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>But if you're like John Morgan and you spent your

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>time listening all day, you might walk away with a

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 2>different idea.

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 1>And I'll tell you why.

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday during the show, Randy, you played some sound of

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:30.719
<v Speaker 2>the former mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown, who came

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.279
<v Speaker 2>out and endorsed Tom Steyer.

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 3>Willie Brown looked at all the candidates and said, Stier's

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.600
<v Speaker 3>his guy.

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Willie Brown is no outlier in California politics. Willie Brown

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 2>is probably the smartest guy, despite the fact that he's

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 2>in his early nineties in California politics. He gave Gavin

0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Newsom a career. He gave Kamala Harris a career. He

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 2>gave any number of people in elected office today their

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 2>start in one capacity or another. He's not going to

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 2>do something willy nilly, the Borrow phrase on his own.

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 2>He talks to these people. He talks to everyone. He

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 2>is the ultimate insider.

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Well and in fact, I believe in the last couple

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 3>of weeks almost every single candidate on the Democrat side

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 3>had a selfie where they had lunch with Willy Brown.

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:31.719
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 2>So if the conventional wisdom is that the Democratic Party

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 2>has chosen their candidate and they're all going to coalesce

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:46.239
<v Speaker 2>behind one person, and but Sarah is that person, Willie

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Brown would be on board with the team. Willie Brown

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 2>is the ultimate team player. He's not a guy that

0:05:54.960 --> 0:06:01.279
<v Speaker 2>goes it alone. And so the fact that Willie Brown

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:05.599
<v Speaker 2>came out for Tom Steyer instead of Javier Bessera was

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>something that I made a mental note of. And then

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 2>after the debate last night, and maybe you can pull

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 2>this sound. It's just coming to me now, Randy. There

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 2>was an official in the Biden administration who was providing

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>commentary on the debate on CNN, and they were talking

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:33.239
<v Speaker 2>about Bessera's performance, and this woman, who was a big

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 2>time player in the Biden administration and certainly wouldn't be

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:43.039
<v Speaker 2>speaking out of school, said that Javier Besserra was the

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 2>worst cabinet official in the entire administration. And they all

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 2>recognized that, and they all talked about that, and he's

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:52.600
<v Speaker 2>not capable of doing this job.

0:06:52.880 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 5>For Secretary of Health and Educations over, I nominated Javier Bakaria.

0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 2>And Van Jones, who was sitting next to this person,

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 2>was taking a sip of his coffee and kind of

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 2>moving his eyes around in a way that said to me, yeah,

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I know that that is true.

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I've heard it myself.

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 2>And then the host of the CNN show, Abby Philip goes, yeah,

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 2>I've heard that from a million different people. These are

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 2>not people who would go at it alone. These are

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 2>people who would otherwise be on board with what the

0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Democratic Party wants. I am of the belief now that

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the Democratic Party has not settled on Javier Bakeria some

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 2>of them have. But I don't think you're going to

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:56.840
<v Speaker 2>see shiff and Newsom and Pelosi and Willie Brown. Willie

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Brown is already off the table and the rest of them,

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Kamala Harris get behind. Buttera don't forget Harris put out

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 2>her endorsement list earlier in the week and she left

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>it blank for governor. If they were all going to

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 2>get behind the same person, she certainly would have been

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 2>one of them. Why are they not getting behind Bakarihea

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 2>at the moment where the Democratic Party is supposed to

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 2>make their choice. My guess is, and this is my opinion,

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.960
<v Speaker 2>My guess is he is almost certainly going to be

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:43.679
<v Speaker 2>indicted before the election, and they all know it, because

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 2>don't forget the investigation into Dana Williamson and Sean McCluskey,

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 2>who are cutting deals right now with the FEDS or

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 2>in the process of cutting deals with the FEDS that

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 2>started in the by administration, which means that Biden officials

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 2>would likely know what's coming, or at least have heard

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 2>whispers of what's coming. And if you know someone's going

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 2>to be indicted, you don't want to be one of

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 2>the co signers for the loan scrub it because then

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 2>you're going to get blamed and you're going to be

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 2>on the hook. And Willie Brown going back to him,

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 2>the ultimate insider would be one of these people who

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 2>would know what's coming. Smartest guy in the room is

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 2>not going to get behind someone who's going to get indicted.

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Kamala would know what.

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 2>That Justice Department was up to, and that Biden official

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.600
<v Speaker 2>on CNN last night would know what the Biden Justice

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Department was up to. And they are saying run for Zeil.

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 3>That official was sochi Henosa and they only have like

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:10.360
<v Speaker 3>one video of the after debate, like talk around. I

0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 3>don't think they have the clip online that you're referring to,

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 3>but I have been looking and thank you to Drew

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Hayes for shouting out who that was.

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 2>If we find it, will play it because I'm telling

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:28.320
<v Speaker 2>you it really said a lot, particularly the timing right

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 2>after the debate on the network that carried the debate,

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 2>the Biden team is mecapping their own guy.

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>When have you seen that before?

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Could you imagine a Democratic primary debate on MSNBC where

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 2>they come out and they just viciously attack the front runner.

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, if the front runner is somebody that Nancy Pelosi hates,

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 3>they might.

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 2>That's also interesting because the relations between the two of them.

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Has not thawed.

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 2>She hates his guts and she regards him as someone

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 2>who is not trustworthy. If you're Nancy Pelosi, why in

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 2>the world would you allow that guy to be governor?

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.679
<v Speaker 2>And she may have known what was going on in

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 2>his operation and that he's unethical, and maybe that was

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.320
<v Speaker 2>one of her concerns with hiring him to be a

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:35.120
<v Speaker 2>cabinet official. I don't know enough about Nancy Pelosi's operation

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 2>to be able to comment on that, but I would

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:42.240
<v Speaker 2>assume that she knows just about everything that's going on

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 2>in her caucus, especially at the time that she was

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 2>the speaker. She seems like the type that keeps her

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 2>ear to the ground and knows what's going on.

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh, she knows the pressure points of every single member,

0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 3>not just of her caucus, but the other caucus as well.

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 3>That is how she maintained the power that she had.

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Don't forget when her father was the mayor of Baltimore.

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Her job as a little girl was to keep a

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:14.320
<v Speaker 2>list of people who owed them favors. She was like

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 2>six years old when she had to start keeping that list.

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:24.679
<v Speaker 2>My guess is that didn't change much with her. So

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that Besarah is the front runner the

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.439
<v Speaker 2>way that everyone else seems to believe.

0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I really don't.

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 2>And I think this guy is in a world hurt

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 2>because when you look at what's being alleged at his

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.959
<v Speaker 2>former chief of staff and the woman who was supposed

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 2>to run his campaign for governor, it looks like a

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 2>clear cut case of money laundering to me. And let

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.559
<v Speaker 2>me tell you something else that I saw last night.

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.160
<v Speaker 2>Because they went after him on this topic, and this

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 2>topic has come up in various interviews. The way he

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:09.720
<v Speaker 2>handles it is weird to me because he goes and

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 2>he uses the same language every time. It was like

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 2>a punch to the gut. You remember that, Randy, It

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:18.040
<v Speaker 2>was a punch to the gut.

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 3>That's what he said the first time he was asked

0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.440
<v Speaker 3>about it, the second time, end the seventy fifth time.

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 2>That's right, And there will be investigations and there will

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:28.960
<v Speaker 2>be accountability.

0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:34.080
<v Speaker 1>And let's move on. Imagine being in his position.

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's, for one moment, assume that there was no money

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 2>laundering going on and he wasn't in on it. Your

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:48.319
<v Speaker 2>chief of staff is stealing from you. The person who

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 2>was going to run your campaign for governor, arguably the

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 2>most important person for your career advancement, was stealing from you.

0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.120
<v Speaker 1>And I forget who the third person was. Do you remember.

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 3>Another lobbyist that's connected to Sacramento?

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you have three of the most important people

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:13.319
<v Speaker 2>in your life who are all robbing you blind independently

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 2>without you knowing.

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>How does that happen?

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Just apply that logic to your own personal life, where

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 2>your spouse is stealing from you, your secretary is stealing

0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 2>from you, your children are stealing from you, your attorney

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 2>is stealing from you, your money manager is stealing from you,

0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 2>all independently, and you don't know that any of it's

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 2>going on. You're just mister magoo and you just happen

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:49.440
<v Speaker 2>to have really bad luck.

0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Who's buying that.

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Not me? The fact that he doesn't come out and

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 2>attack them publicly says something to me. If someone I trusted,

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:10.200
<v Speaker 2>was robbing me blind and treating me like a fool.

0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 2>And I was asked about that publicly, I would say

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 2>that son of a bitch who I trusted and I

0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't have trusted for five seconds because they have no

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 2>moral character at all, was robbing me blind the moment

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 2>I turned my head. But you notice he never says

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 2>anything negative about them. He never attacks them, He never

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:38.240
<v Speaker 2>goes after their character or ethics. He is very loyally

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 2>when he talks about it. It was like a punch

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.920
<v Speaker 2>to the gut and accountabilities on the way.

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Next question.

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 2>But when you do the scrub, that to me says

0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 2>that he is hoping to God that they don't spill

0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:56.320
<v Speaker 2>the beans on him. That he is not going to

0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.720
<v Speaker 2>attack their character. He's not going to kick them when

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 2>they're down. He's going to help them out after they

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 2>resolve their issues with the courts, and he doesn't want

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 2>any heat with them.

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:10.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what that tells me.

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 2>So I don't believe the Democratic Party has settled on him.

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I believe the Democratic Party is very suspicious of him.

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 2>I believe the Democratic Party is freaking out right now

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 2>because they know that he is not an option for

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 2>the long term, or will put them in a bad place.

0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Because let's assume that he wins the primary and then

0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 2>he gets indicted between the primary and the general. If

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:44.000
<v Speaker 2>you're the Democrats, what do you do. You can blame Trump,

0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:48.800
<v Speaker 2>I guess for the timing, but the investigation started under

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 2>the Biden DOJ.

0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:53.720
<v Speaker 1>This has been going on for years.

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 2>He was a cabinet official when they first started tracking

0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 2>the funds when Joe Biden was president and Kamala Harris

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.440
<v Speaker 2>was vice president and Merrick Garland was at the DOJ

0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:09.280
<v Speaker 2>and had to sign off on all of this. So

0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.520
<v Speaker 2>you can blame Trump, but no one's going to believe it.

0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they'll believe you on the timeline, but not for

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the material facts related to the case. The Democrats are

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.240
<v Speaker 2>just going to have to say, hold your nose and

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 2>vote for the crook if it's Besarah and a Republican,

0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.200
<v Speaker 2>which by the way, is what I believe they would

0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 2>have done had it been Swallowell and the story broke

0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:35.720
<v Speaker 2>after the primary.

0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.600
<v Speaker 3>Hold your nose and vote for a rapist, alleged.

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.359
<v Speaker 2>They would have attacked the women, or they would have

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.120
<v Speaker 2>said that he found religion, or there would have been

0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:50.439
<v Speaker 2>some sort of mitigating circumstance. But if Besarah is the nominee,

0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:54.960
<v Speaker 2>let me tell you he is a massive liability for them,

0:17:55.480 --> 0:18:00.760
<v Speaker 2>a massive liability for them. For Republicans, your best shot

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 2>at winning is having two Republicans on the November ballot.

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not moving from that position, But the second best

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 2>option is to have that guy, Javier Bakaria is the

0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Democratic nominee. Because this guy, I'm telling you is nothing

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:19.520
<v Speaker 2>but trouble eight hundred two two two five two two two.

0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.960

0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, before we get to the sound of last night's

0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:15.199
<v Speaker 2>debate on CNN, Randy, you've been able to locate the

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:20.200
<v Speaker 2>sound of that former Biden administration official who was providing

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.080
<v Speaker 2>commentary on last night's debate on CNN.

0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Her name was Sochi Hnosa and here's what she had

0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 3>to say on CNN.

0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 7>Can I tell you, after working in Joe Biden's administration,

0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 7>I do not trust Have you ever said.

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 4>It to do that?

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Whoa? Can I can? I just say whoa?

0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:41.040
<v Speaker 4>Whoa?

0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.000
<v Speaker 7>I don't trust that he would be.

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Able to everyone's like whoa, because okay, this is the

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:52.040
<v Speaker 2>kabuki theater that happens on cable news. They all knew

0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 2>she thought that way of Javier Bessera, but they had

0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.879
<v Speaker 2>to pretend to be surprised on the air. Are you

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:02.960
<v Speaker 2>saying that cable news debates are pro wrestling A little bit?

0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:03.719
<v Speaker 1>To do that?

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 7>Because and that is the feeling that you'll be able

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 7>to stand up to try. I don't think that you

0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:09.600
<v Speaker 7>will be able to stand him, to drop and lead

0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.280
<v Speaker 7>and the reason why anybody who.

0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:16.399
<v Speaker 1>Before she answers that?

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:18.200
<v Speaker 3>Can I well, I guess I know why they invited

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.199
<v Speaker 3>seven candidates to the debate. This is just what they

0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 3>do on CNN, eight people talking over each other.

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how people can watch that.

0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I used to work there and I used to do that,

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:30.439
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know how people could watch that.

0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Can I ask you why?

0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.000
<v Speaker 7>Because when I saw him in the administration, and I

0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:37.159
<v Speaker 7>think a lot of people did, and that it's it's

0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.199
<v Speaker 7>people understand this. It's he was not effective in government.

0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.080
<v Speaker 7>And I think that a lot of people in the

0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:46.680
<v Speaker 7>Biden administration are talking about this because they realized.

0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:48.480
<v Speaker 3>That he was ron Klain. Ron Klain gave him money.

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what's his problem?

0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 7>Not an effective HHS secretary? And if you ask any

0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:55.679
<v Speaker 7>cabinet secretary, they would tell you the same thing. And

0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:59.399
<v Speaker 7>so I think that there is a I think people

0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:01.840
<v Speaker 7>recognize this, and I think this is why Tom Steyer

0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:04.560
<v Speaker 7>has gone to the top. Biden and Harris think that

0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:07.560
<v Speaker 7>I think there have been I have not spoken with them.

0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Now, two things can be true at the exact

0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 3>same time. One be Sarah's a buffoon. But uh, soci

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 3>stire send you any checks lately?

0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:20.600
<v Speaker 1>That could be an issue. You know.

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:23.320
<v Speaker 3>I got to say, as much of a buffoon as

0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:26.719
<v Speaker 3>Tom Style, as much of a buffoon as Javier Bakaria is.

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:29.960
<v Speaker 3>This new ad that he put out is my favorite

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:34.160
<v Speaker 3>political ad of all time. It is just peaceful, tranquil

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:38.919
<v Speaker 3>shots of California and said in text, if you're tired

0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:44.159
<v Speaker 3>of Tom Steyer ads, vote for me. Whoever came up

0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:46.280
<v Speaker 3>with that is pretty brilliant.

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:50.760
<v Speaker 2>By the way, if she's being paid for by the

0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Tom Steyer campaign and she's providing commentary on a news

0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:59.439
<v Speaker 2>network after the debate, that's something that they're supposed to disclose.

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:04.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't think she was, but I'm always a little

0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:07.400
<v Speaker 3>suspicious of anybody that talks about how great Tom Steyer

0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:08.520
<v Speaker 3>does in these debates.

0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not convinced that she thinks that Tom Steyer is

0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 2>the Bee's knees. What I think she's trying to do

0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 2>is she's trying to separate Bakeria from the Biden people

0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.159
<v Speaker 2>because she knows what's coming scrub it.

0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:28.359
<v Speaker 3>Well. Should we go to the part of the debate

0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:31.879
<v Speaker 3>where Steve Hilton lays out exactly what may be coming

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:33.159
<v Speaker 3>to Javier Bacheria.

0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:34.719
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it.

0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:39.960
<v Speaker 3>This started as a inquisition into Chad Bianco's ballad stunt,

0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:42.400
<v Speaker 3>and then it got turned into a Bakeria thing.

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:45.160
<v Speaker 8>My view is that it's a bit rich for Javier

0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:48.480
<v Speaker 8>to talk about following the law when he is mid

0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:52.760
<v Speaker 8>personally in a corruption scandal where his former chief of

0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:57.399
<v Speaker 8>staff Sean McCluskey. When Javier was appointed by Joe Biden

0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:00.920
<v Speaker 8>to be health secretary, he wanted his staff to go

0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 8>with him. The salary wasn't enough, so what did they do.

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:08.399
<v Speaker 8>They took money from Javier's campaign account to top up

0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:12.720
<v Speaker 8>his salary by funneling it to Dana Williamson, Gavin Newsom's

0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:14.080
<v Speaker 8>former chief of staff.

0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 3>This is super inside baseball, but I think he's doing

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:19.200
<v Speaker 3>a decent job at explaining it for all the Rubes

0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:20.240
<v Speaker 3>watching CNN.

0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I also believe that everything he said so far is true.

0:24:24.680 --> 0:24:27.720
<v Speaker 8>So that it was paid to this guy's wife. All

0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:31.120
<v Speaker 8>of that is illegal. It is against state law, it's

0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:34.600
<v Speaker 8>against federal law. My running mate for Attorney General, Michael Gates,

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.359
<v Speaker 8>has this evening written to Javier Passera to make it

0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:41.199
<v Speaker 8>clear that when he is Attorney General. Javier will be

0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:45.040
<v Speaker 8>investigated and it's necessarily prosecuted for these crimes.

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:46.960
<v Speaker 6>Mister Shelton, just to clarify the questions.

0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:49.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I think it goes beyond that. By the way, again,

0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:54.480
<v Speaker 2>this is my opinion. This is strictly my opinion. But

0:24:54.680 --> 0:24:57.320
<v Speaker 2>I believe that he was not only laundering money to

0:24:57.400 --> 0:25:01.399
<v Speaker 2>McCluskey to bring McCluskey a law to Washington, d C.

0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:04.720
<v Speaker 2>With him, but I believe that he was laundering money

0:25:04.720 --> 0:25:09.639
<v Speaker 2>to Dane Williamson too as a retainer so that she

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:12.360
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't work for another candidate who is going to run

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:16.159
<v Speaker 2>for governor, because he thought by keeping her on the

0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:20.639
<v Speaker 2>payroll that as Gavin Newsom's chief of staff, she would

0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:23.520
<v Speaker 2>be able to bring the Gavin people with her, and

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:26.399
<v Speaker 2>all of the unions that supported him and the interest

0:25:26.400 --> 0:25:29.920
<v Speaker 2>group that supported him, they all need things from her,

0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:34.879
<v Speaker 2>and if she could then direct them to Javier for governor,

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:38.560
<v Speaker 2>that he would benefit politically from that, which you're not

0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:39.240
<v Speaker 2>allowed to do.

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:41.120
<v Speaker 1>If you're a cabinet official.

0:25:42.480 --> 0:25:45.520
<v Speaker 9>About the seizure of the ballots in Riverside County, do

0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:47.720
<v Speaker 9>you believe that Sheriff Bianco took the right stuff there.

0:25:47.760 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, this is going back to Bianco fighting about

0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:52.840
<v Speaker 3>the ballots. But they go back to this over and

0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:56.040
<v Speaker 3>over and over again. And I would say, at least

0:25:56.040 --> 0:25:58.600
<v Speaker 3>from the half of the debate that I listened to

0:25:58.720 --> 0:26:01.800
<v Speaker 3>this morning, Besarah was target number one.

0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, and by the way, so let's just to

0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:08.919
<v Speaker 2>sew for one second, for the purposes of conversation, that

0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 2>he was laundering the money to McCluskey so he could

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:15.280
<v Speaker 2>augment his income and his chief of staff would come

0:26:15.320 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 2>with him from California to Washington, since he trusted very

0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:23.160
<v Speaker 2>few people in Washington, And that Dana Williamson was having

0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 2>money laundered to her so that she would not sign

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:30.000
<v Speaker 2>on with another candidate. What do you think the odds

0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 2>are none of them were paying taxes on any of this.

0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:35.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's definitely possible.

0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:42.280
<v Speaker 2>If you're Besarah, you can't list that as an employee

0:26:42.359 --> 0:26:48.840
<v Speaker 2>who's receiving compensation because that would be illegal. And if

0:26:48.880 --> 0:26:52.560
<v Speaker 2>you're them and your quote unquote stealing it, you can't

0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 2>declare the money. So no taxtes. I assume we're being

0:26:57.040 --> 0:27:00.480
<v Speaker 2>paid on any of that, which you also can't do.

0:27:00.640 --> 0:27:01.199
<v Speaker 1>Scrub it.

0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 2>If you'd like to email the show you can do

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:08.640
<v Speaker 2>so at Johnny don't like show at gmail dot com.

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:12.720
<v Speaker 2>That's Johnny, don't like show at gmail dot com. And Randy,

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:14.119
<v Speaker 2>you're monitoring the mailbag.

0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Brad wrightes in at Johnny, don't like show at gmail

0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:20.720
<v Speaker 3>dot com. Every single time I pick up a sponge,

0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:23.160
<v Speaker 3>I say scrub it and I blame you.

0:27:26.440 --> 0:27:30.960
<v Speaker 2>A second Biden administration official has come out and whacked

0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Javier bachariea.

0:27:33.240 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Michael LaRosa just put out earlier. So g Henosa's assessment

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:43.400
<v Speaker 3>last night on CNN was more accurate and the most

0:27:43.440 --> 0:27:45.960
<v Speaker 3>widely held view about him in the first two years

0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:49.119
<v Speaker 3>of the White House. But he also wasn't Biden's first

0:27:49.240 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 3>choice or his first choice that was offered and accepted

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:54.119
<v Speaker 3>that job either.

0:27:56.000 --> 0:28:00.280
<v Speaker 2>And Michael Losia, if you're wondering, was Jill Biden spokesman.

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:06.359
<v Speaker 2>So there's no way that Jill Biden spokesman would be

0:28:06.400 --> 0:28:11.800
<v Speaker 2>coming out and saying this unless Grampy Joe believes it too.

0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:14.280
<v Speaker 3>Grampy Joe had no idea who he was.

0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:19.200
<v Speaker 5>For Secretary of Health and Educations over I nominated Hobbier Bakaria, And.

0:28:19.160 --> 0:28:22.840
<v Speaker 3>That's the clip that we play all the time. But many, many, many,

0:28:22.840 --> 0:28:27.320
<v Speaker 3>many many times throughout the Biden years he would confuse

0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:36.800
<v Speaker 3>Bessarah and Majorcis that's true, he had no idea eight

0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:39.480
<v Speaker 3>hundred two two two five two two two. He is

0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:42.680
<v Speaker 3>a jellphone number one. Eight hundred two two two five

0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 3>two two two. All right, let's get to more sound

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:50.640
<v Speaker 3>from last night's debate. A question came up revolving around

0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:55.240
<v Speaker 3>Katie Porter's treatment of a staffer. Get out of my shot,

0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:59.400
<v Speaker 3>and of course, because Porter is listed on the cut sheet,

0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:01.440
<v Speaker 3>this is the one John wants to play first.

0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's hear it.

0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:07.000
<v Speaker 9>Thank you such starch to issues of leadership, which is

0:29:07.000 --> 0:29:08.920
<v Speaker 9>something that obviously all of you would be in the

0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:10.080
<v Speaker 9>position to deal with if.

0:29:10.000 --> 0:29:11.800
<v Speaker 6>You are elected governor and mayor.

0:29:11.880 --> 0:29:14.200
<v Speaker 9>Via Ragosa, you actually put out an ad of your

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:18.840
<v Speaker 9>own recently that highlighted your opponent here, Congressman Katie Porter,

0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:22.040
<v Speaker 9>threatening to cut off an interview with a reporter that

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:25.160
<v Speaker 9>came after a video surface of her berating, Oh yeah.

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:29.000
<v Speaker 3>This was via Goosa's strategy when the Julie Watts interview

0:29:29.160 --> 0:29:33.040
<v Speaker 3>originally went everywhere, in no small part thanks to this

0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:37.920
<v Speaker 3>show pushing it out and Tonio via Goosa's people bought

0:29:38.040 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 3>three minutes of airtime on Sacramento and aired the entire exchange.

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:49.520
<v Speaker 9>And Mayor via a Goosa, you actually put out an

0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 9>ad of your own recently that highlighted your opponent here,

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 9>Congressman Katie Porter, threatening to cut off an interview with

0:29:56.840 --> 0:30:00.640
<v Speaker 9>a reporter that came after a video surface of brating

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:01.920
<v Speaker 9>a member of her staff.

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, actually, no, did Julie Watts video happened first and

0:30:06.040 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 3>then someone at one of the other campaigns decided to

0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 3>pile on.

0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad I came back for the money shot.

0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:17.040
<v Speaker 9>If a senior official in your government acted as she

0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:19.320
<v Speaker 9>did in those videos, would you fire them?

0:30:19.520 --> 0:30:25.800
<v Speaker 10>Yes, but let's be clear that's irrelevant.

0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:29.040
<v Speaker 3>Antoni of Viragosa. Would you fire a staffer for sleeping

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:30.840
<v Speaker 3>with a Telemunda reporter.

0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Irrelevant? Crime of passion irrelevant because.

0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:41.560
<v Speaker 10>One of us will be the next governor?

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:44.680
<v Speaker 3>Antoni of Viragosa? Would you fire someone for making fake

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:47.080
<v Speaker 3>proclamations to get you into Laker games?

0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Didn't you have a printer in the back of his car?

0:30:50.600 --> 0:30:53.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes, he did, so he could go to Laker games

0:30:53.000 --> 0:30:54.200
<v Speaker 3>on official business.

0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:59.120
<v Speaker 10>And but let me let me just say something about

0:30:59.240 --> 0:31:02.680
<v Speaker 10>what vir Bessera has refused to answer.

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:04.960
<v Speaker 3>See look at this. They set up a perfect time

0:31:04.960 --> 0:31:06.800
<v Speaker 3>for you to go after Katie, and they want to

0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:07.880
<v Speaker 3>go after Bachaia.

0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 1>He took a pass.

0:31:09.920 --> 0:31:13.120
<v Speaker 3>And that is that well, because they don't think Katie

0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:16.120
<v Speaker 3>Porter is a threat anymore. She's only been trending downwards.

0:31:16.120 --> 0:31:19.480
<v Speaker 3>She never recovered from those videos. And even in the

0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:24.120
<v Speaker 3>latest tracking poll for the California Democratic Party after swallowell out,

0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Bacarea up, Mayheon up, Katie Porter down.

0:31:28.000 --> 0:31:32.640
<v Speaker 10>And that is that your chief of staff was indicted

0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:37.880
<v Speaker 10>for patting his salary with your campaign funds.

0:31:38.120 --> 0:31:41.240
<v Speaker 3>We're going right back to that one.

0:31:41.680 --> 0:31:45.920
<v Speaker 10>You initially on CNN said that you knew that you

0:31:46.000 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 10>signed it, you knew that they spent ten thousand dollars,

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:52.600
<v Speaker 10>and then on the second time on your show you

0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 10>said you didn't know.

0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:56.840
<v Speaker 1>The fact is, as I said, I'm.

0:31:56.680 --> 0:31:58.240
<v Speaker 3>Going to assume when he said your show, he was

0:31:58.280 --> 0:31:59.040
<v Speaker 3>pointing to Alex.

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:03.240
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, as I said, I think you have As I said.

0:32:03.120 --> 0:32:04.360
<v Speaker 3>I think you have a answer.

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:07.600
<v Speaker 10>You had two committees, you spent fifteen hundred for one

0:32:07.960 --> 0:32:09.440
<v Speaker 10>and ten thousand for your other.

0:32:09.520 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 3>Backstreet and Johnny, these two, their feud goes all the

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:15.800
<v Speaker 3>way back to the La City Council days.

0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, Well, don't forget when VIAA Goosa ran for

0:32:20.160 --> 0:32:25.160
<v Speaker 2>mayor the first time, the Latino Democratic political machines in

0:32:25.280 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 2>town wanted a Latino mayor and they wanted via Ragosa

0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:33.320
<v Speaker 2>to be the only candidate, and Bsarah ran and they

0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 2>thought that that would be enough to keep via Regosa

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:40.480
<v Speaker 2>off the general election ballot, and they were really worried

0:32:40.520 --> 0:32:44.240
<v Speaker 2>about that. Well, as it turns out, Bessarah had no

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:47.280
<v Speaker 2>support at all and was not a threat to via Regosa,

0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:50.760
<v Speaker 2>and he advanced to the general election anyway. But the

0:32:50.840 --> 0:32:52.880
<v Speaker 2>fact that he wouldn't get out of the race when

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 2>asked to caused bad blood between those two that has

0:32:57.160 --> 0:32:58.840
<v Speaker 2>apparently not been resolved.

0:33:01.160 --> 0:33:01.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry.

0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:04.560
<v Speaker 6>I want to go to Congressmom and Porter since wait time,

0:33:04.600 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 6>O welcome.

0:33:05.640 --> 0:33:06.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry.

0:33:07.160 --> 0:33:09.560
<v Speaker 6>At the center of that ad, can you put out.

0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:11.360
<v Speaker 3>An ad of your Can we go back to bashing

0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:15.040
<v Speaker 3>Katie and I love the fact that she's the one

0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:17.480
<v Speaker 3>that wants to weigh in on this topic now.

0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:20.239
<v Speaker 9>Making light of that interaction that you had with your

0:33:20.320 --> 0:33:22.760
<v Speaker 9>it's not correct, Caitlin, which you said you apologized for.

0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:26.680
<v Speaker 4>That is not correct. The ad is about showing Californians

0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:28.160
<v Speaker 4>what they've had a chance to see.

0:33:28.240 --> 0:33:30.480
<v Speaker 3>Wait, you're trying to correct Kaitlyn on the ad that

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:32.760
<v Speaker 3>you put out. That's trying to make fun of your

0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 3>big viral moment, thinking that it was your last desperate

0:33:35.280 --> 0:33:36.479
<v Speaker 3>attempt to get any attention.

0:33:37.000 --> 0:33:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Come on, Katie, interesting strategy,
