Speaker 1: And very happy Wednesday to you.
Speaker 2: At twelve oh seven in the West, it's the John
Speaker 2: at Phillip Show. Mister Randy Wgings in Culver City, John.
Speaker 3: You would think it was festivus. What the airing of
Speaker 3: the grievance is that happened last night on CNN's gubernatorial debate,
Speaker 3: Katie Porter. What did it feel like in there?
Speaker 4: I can't believe that, on a stage with thirty minutes
Speaker 4: of interrupting and bickering and name calling and shouting and
Speaker 4: disrespect for everyone up here who's stepping into public service,
Speaker 4: that anyone wants to talk about my temperament.
Speaker 2: And Okay, what's funny is that was obviously preplanned. She
Speaker 2: knew she was going to go out there and try
Speaker 2: to handle the issue that way. The problem is, if
Speaker 2: you're going to portray yourself as being above the fray,
Speaker 2: you can't participate in the food fight. So she said that,
Speaker 2: and then she went right back to throwing mud.
Speaker 3: Let's play the tape just three seconds after.
Speaker 4: That, wants to talk about my temperament.
Speaker 1: You were actually interrupting them too. I don't know why
Speaker 1: you want to act like you weren't.
Speaker 4: Oh cowboy, I'm.
Speaker 3: So sick of this name calling. Shut up cowboy.
Speaker 1: She really has no self control at all.
Speaker 3: Out of my shot. Everybody had these pre planned lines
Speaker 3: and zingers, and they were all terrible.
Speaker 2: And what I like the most was the facial expressions
Speaker 2: on her face when it wasn't even her turn.
Speaker 3: Oh, I was only listening to this thing because I
Speaker 3: can't figure out how to get CNN on my TV anymore,
Speaker 3: so I downloaded the podcast. What were the expressions, Johnny?
Speaker 2: Every single look at any other candidate was dripping with contempt.
Speaker 2: She looked like at any given moment during that debate,
Speaker 2: she was going to lunge across the stage and slap someone.
Speaker 3: So I got to imagine the only way that she
Speaker 3: was going to be able to blow off steam after
Speaker 3: a stressful event like that was with a couple of
Speaker 3: back to back episodes, a heated rivalry.
Speaker 4: Why do you have to watch porn in the living.
Speaker 1: Room, maybe even in the morning.
Speaker 3: Maybe she hits rewind on a couple of scenes.
Speaker 2: Need to make sure that she caught everything now here
Speaker 2: is what's interesting, And we'll get to some of the
Speaker 2: sound here in a moment.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: I frequently tell people we had this conversation with John Morgan,
Speaker 2: the attorney who as a book out about luck, and
Speaker 2: one of the things he said, which is so true,
Speaker 2: is you need to be a good listener to be
Speaker 2: successful in life. If you're a good listener, you will
Speaker 2: have such a leg up on everyone else they won't.
Speaker 1: Even know what hit them.
Speaker 2: And I've got to tell you the conventional wisdom, particularly
Speaker 2: the wisdom that's reflected with the current polling, is that
Speaker 2: Javier Bakaria is the candidate who is now the front runner,
Speaker 2: who the Democratic Party is going to coalesce behind the
Speaker 2: same way they were prepared to do it with Eric
Speaker 2: smallwell before he got accused of rape by nine million people.
Speaker 1: And I think for the most part that is.
Speaker 2: The storyline that the candidates are buying into, because last
Speaker 2: night a lot of the Democrats in particular, who are
Speaker 2: fighting for the same voters as Bacaia, were going after
Speaker 2: Bacaia because they regarded him as the leader of the pack.
Speaker 1: Scrub it.
Speaker 2: But if you're like John Morgan and you spent your
Speaker 2: time listening all day, you might walk away with a
Speaker 2: different idea.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why.
Speaker 2: Yesterday during the show, Randy, you played some sound of
Speaker 2: the former mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown, who came
Speaker 2: out and endorsed Tom Steyer.
Speaker 3: Willie Brown looked at all the candidates and said, Stier's
Speaker 3: his guy.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Willie Brown is no outlier in California politics. Willie Brown
Speaker 2: is probably the smartest guy, despite the fact that he's
Speaker 2: in his early nineties in California politics. He gave Gavin
Speaker 2: Newsom a career. He gave Kamala Harris a career. He
Speaker 2: gave any number of people in elected office today their
Speaker 2: start in one capacity or another. He's not going to
Speaker 2: do something willy nilly, the Borrow phrase on his own.
Speaker 2: He talks to these people. He talks to everyone. He
Speaker 2: is the ultimate insider.
Speaker 3: Well and in fact, I believe in the last couple
Speaker 3: of weeks almost every single candidate on the Democrat side
Speaker 3: had a selfie where they had lunch with Willy Brown.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: So if the conventional wisdom is that the Democratic Party
Speaker 2: has chosen their candidate and they're all going to coalesce
Speaker 2: behind one person, and but Sarah is that person, Willie
Speaker 2: Brown would be on board with the team. Willie Brown
Speaker 2: is the ultimate team player. He's not a guy that
Speaker 2: goes it alone. And so the fact that Willie Brown
Speaker 2: came out for Tom Steyer instead of Javier Bessera was
Speaker 2: something that I made a mental note of. And then
Speaker 2: after the debate last night, and maybe you can pull
Speaker 2: this sound. It's just coming to me now, Randy. There
Speaker 2: was an official in the Biden administration who was providing
Speaker 2: commentary on the debate on CNN, and they were talking
Speaker 2: about Bessera's performance, and this woman, who was a big
Speaker 2: time player in the Biden administration and certainly wouldn't be
Speaker 2: speaking out of school, said that Javier Besserra was the
Speaker 2: worst cabinet official in the entire administration. And they all
Speaker 2: recognized that, and they all talked about that, and he's
Speaker 2: not capable of doing this job.
Speaker 5: For Secretary of Health and Educations over, I nominated Javier Bakaria.
Speaker 2: And Van Jones, who was sitting next to this person,
Speaker 2: was taking a sip of his coffee and kind of
Speaker 2: moving his eyes around in a way that said to me, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know that that is true.
Speaker 1: I've heard it myself.
Speaker 2: And then the host of the CNN show, Abby Philip goes, yeah,
Speaker 2: I've heard that from a million different people. These are
Speaker 2: not people who would go at it alone. These are
Speaker 2: people who would otherwise be on board with what the
Speaker 2: Democratic Party wants. I am of the belief now that
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party has not settled on Javier Bakeria some
Speaker 2: of them have. But I don't think you're going to
Speaker 2: see shiff and Newsom and Pelosi and Willie Brown. Willie
Speaker 2: Brown is already off the table and the rest of them,
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris get behind. Buttera don't forget Harris put out
Speaker 2: her endorsement list earlier in the week and she left
Speaker 2: it blank for governor. If they were all going to
Speaker 2: get behind the same person, she certainly would have been
Speaker 2: one of them. Why are they not getting behind Bakarihea
Speaker 2: at the moment where the Democratic Party is supposed to
Speaker 2: make their choice. My guess is, and this is my opinion,
Speaker 2: My guess is he is almost certainly going to be
Speaker 2: indicted before the election, and they all know it, because
Speaker 2: don't forget the investigation into Dana Williamson and Sean McCluskey,
Speaker 2: who are cutting deals right now with the FEDS or
Speaker 2: in the process of cutting deals with the FEDS that
Speaker 2: started in the by administration, which means that Biden officials
Speaker 2: would likely know what's coming, or at least have heard
Speaker 2: whispers of what's coming. And if you know someone's going
Speaker 2: to be indicted, you don't want to be one of
Speaker 2: the co signers for the loan scrub it because then
Speaker 2: you're going to get blamed and you're going to be
Speaker 2: on the hook. And Willie Brown going back to him,
Speaker 2: the ultimate insider would be one of these people who
Speaker 2: would know what's coming. Smartest guy in the room is
Speaker 2: not going to get behind someone who's going to get indicted.
Speaker 1: Kamala would know what.
Speaker 2: That Justice Department was up to, and that Biden official
Speaker 2: on CNN last night would know what the Biden Justice
Speaker 2: Department was up to. And they are saying run for Zeil.
Speaker 3: That official was sochi Henosa and they only have like
Speaker 3: one video of the after debate, like talk around. I
Speaker 3: don't think they have the clip online that you're referring to,
Speaker 3: but I have been looking and thank you to Drew
Speaker 3: Hayes for shouting out who that was.
Speaker 2: If we find it, will play it because I'm telling
Speaker 2: you it really said a lot, particularly the timing right
Speaker 2: after the debate on the network that carried the debate,
Speaker 2: the Biden team is mecapping their own guy.
Speaker 1: When have you seen that before?
Speaker 2: Could you imagine a Democratic primary debate on MSNBC where
Speaker 2: they come out and they just viciously attack the front runner.
Speaker 3: Well, if the front runner is somebody that Nancy Pelosi hates,
Speaker 3: they might.
Speaker 2: That's also interesting because the relations between the two of them.
Speaker 1: Has not thawed.
Speaker 2: She hates his guts and she regards him as someone
Speaker 2: who is not trustworthy. If you're Nancy Pelosi, why in
Speaker 2: the world would you allow that guy to be governor?
Speaker 2: And she may have known what was going on in
Speaker 2: his operation and that he's unethical, and maybe that was
Speaker 2: one of her concerns with hiring him to be a
Speaker 2: cabinet official. I don't know enough about Nancy Pelosi's operation
Speaker 2: to be able to comment on that, but I would
Speaker 2: assume that she knows just about everything that's going on
Speaker 2: in her caucus, especially at the time that she was
Speaker 2: the speaker. She seems like the type that keeps her
Speaker 2: ear to the ground and knows what's going on.
Speaker 3: Oh, she knows the pressure points of every single member,
Speaker 3: not just of her caucus, but the other caucus as well.
Speaker 3: That is how she maintained the power that she had.
Speaker 2: Don't forget when her father was the mayor of Baltimore.
Speaker 2: Her job as a little girl was to keep a
Speaker 2: list of people who owed them favors. She was like
Speaker 2: six years old when she had to start keeping that list.
Speaker 2: My guess is that didn't change much with her. So
Speaker 2: I don't think that Besarah is the front runner the
Speaker 2: way that everyone else seems to believe.
Speaker 1: I really don't.
Speaker 2: And I think this guy is in a world hurt
Speaker 2: because when you look at what's being alleged at his
Speaker 2: former chief of staff and the woman who was supposed
Speaker 2: to run his campaign for governor, it looks like a
Speaker 2: clear cut case of money laundering to me. And let
Speaker 2: me tell you something else that I saw last night.
Speaker 2: Because they went after him on this topic, and this
Speaker 2: topic has come up in various interviews. The way he
Speaker 2: handles it is weird to me because he goes and
Speaker 2: he uses the same language every time. It was like
Speaker 2: a punch to the gut. You remember that, Randy, It
Speaker 2: was a punch to the gut.
Speaker 3: That's what he said the first time he was asked
Speaker 3: about it, the second time, end the seventy fifth time.
Speaker 2: That's right, And there will be investigations and there will
Speaker 2: be accountability.
Speaker 1: And let's move on. Imagine being in his position.
Speaker 2: Let's, for one moment, assume that there was no money
Speaker 2: laundering going on and he wasn't in on it. Your
Speaker 2: chief of staff is stealing from you. The person who
Speaker 2: was going to run your campaign for governor, arguably the
Speaker 2: most important person for your career advancement, was stealing from you.
Speaker 1: And I forget who the third person was. Do you remember.
Speaker 3: Another lobbyist that's connected to Sacramento?
Speaker 2: Okay, so you have three of the most important people
Speaker 2: in your life who are all robbing you blind independently
Speaker 2: without you knowing.
Speaker 1: How does that happen?
Speaker 2: Just apply that logic to your own personal life, where
Speaker 2: your spouse is stealing from you, your secretary is stealing
Speaker 2: from you, your children are stealing from you, your attorney
Speaker 2: is stealing from you, your money manager is stealing from you,
Speaker 2: all independently, and you don't know that any of it's
Speaker 2: going on. You're just mister magoo and you just happen
Speaker 2: to have really bad luck.
Speaker 1: Who's buying that.
Speaker 2: Not me? The fact that he doesn't come out and
Speaker 2: attack them publicly says something to me. If someone I trusted,
Speaker 2: was robbing me blind and treating me like a fool.
Speaker 2: And I was asked about that publicly, I would say
Speaker 2: that son of a bitch who I trusted and I
Speaker 2: shouldn't have trusted for five seconds because they have no
Speaker 2: moral character at all, was robbing me blind the moment
Speaker 2: I turned my head. But you notice he never says
Speaker 2: anything negative about them. He never attacks them, He never
Speaker 2: goes after their character or ethics. He is very loyally
Speaker 2: when he talks about it. It was like a punch
Speaker 2: to the gut and accountabilities on the way.
Speaker 1: Next question.
Speaker 2: But when you do the scrub, that to me says
Speaker 2: that he is hoping to God that they don't spill
Speaker 2: the beans on him. That he is not going to
Speaker 2: attack their character. He's not going to kick them when
Speaker 2: they're down. He's going to help them out after they
Speaker 2: resolve their issues with the courts, and he doesn't want
Speaker 2: any heat with them.
Speaker 1: That's what that tells me.
Speaker 2: So I don't believe the Democratic Party has settled on him.
Speaker 2: I believe the Democratic Party is very suspicious of him.
Speaker 2: I believe the Democratic Party is freaking out right now
Speaker 2: because they know that he is not an option for
Speaker 2: the long term, or will put them in a bad place.
Speaker 2: Because let's assume that he wins the primary and then
Speaker 2: he gets indicted between the primary and the general. If
Speaker 2: you're the Democrats, what do you do. You can blame Trump,
Speaker 2: I guess for the timing, but the investigation started under
Speaker 2: the Biden DOJ.
Speaker 1: This has been going on for years.
Speaker 2: He was a cabinet official when they first started tracking
Speaker 2: the funds when Joe Biden was president and Kamala Harris
Speaker 2: was vice president and Merrick Garland was at the DOJ
Speaker 2: and had to sign off on all of this. So
Speaker 2: you can blame Trump, but no one's going to believe it.
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll believe you on the timeline, but not for
Speaker 2: the material facts related to the case. The Democrats are
Speaker 2: just going to have to say, hold your nose and
Speaker 2: vote for the crook if it's Besarah and a Republican,
Speaker 2: which by the way, is what I believe they would
Speaker 2: have done had it been Swallowell and the story broke
Speaker 2: after the primary.
Speaker 3: Hold your nose and vote for a rapist, alleged.
Speaker 2: They would have attacked the women, or they would have
Speaker 2: said that he found religion, or there would have been
Speaker 2: some sort of mitigating circumstance. But if Besarah is the nominee,
Speaker 2: let me tell you he is a massive liability for them,
Speaker 2: a massive liability for them. For Republicans, your best shot
Speaker 2: at winning is having two Republicans on the November ballot.
Speaker 2: I'm not moving from that position, But the second best
Speaker 2: option is to have that guy, Javier Bakaria is the
Speaker 2: Democratic nominee. Because this guy, I'm telling you is nothing
Speaker 2: but trouble eight hundred two two two five two two two.
Speaker 2: He's the telephone number one eight hundred two two two
Speaker 2: five two two two. If you'd like to email the show,

Speaker 3: tickets furnished by the Pacific Amphitheater. Good luck dialing.
Speaker 2: Okay, before we get to the sound of last night's
Speaker 2: debate on CNN, Randy, you've been able to locate the
Speaker 2: sound of that former Biden administration official who was providing
Speaker 2: commentary on last night's debate on CNN.
Speaker 3: Her name was Sochi Hnosa and here's what she had
Speaker 3: to say on CNN.
Speaker 7: Can I tell you, after working in Joe Biden's administration,
Speaker 7: I do not trust Have you ever said.
Speaker 4: It to do that?
Speaker 1: Whoa? Can I can? I just say whoa?
Speaker 4: Whoa?
Speaker 7: I don't trust that he would be.
Speaker 2: Able to everyone's like whoa, because okay, this is the
Speaker 2: kabuki theater that happens on cable news. They all knew
Speaker 2: she thought that way of Javier Bessera, but they had
Speaker 2: to pretend to be surprised on the air. Are you
Speaker 2: saying that cable news debates are pro wrestling A little bit?
Speaker 1: To do that?
Speaker 7: Because and that is the feeling that you'll be able
Speaker 7: to stand up to try. I don't think that you
Speaker 7: will be able to stand him, to drop and lead
Speaker 7: and the reason why anybody who.
Speaker 1: Before she answers that?
Speaker 3: Can I well, I guess I know why they invited
Speaker 3: seven candidates to the debate. This is just what they
Speaker 3: do on CNN, eight people talking over each other.
Speaker 1: I don't know how people can watch that.
Speaker 2: I used to work there and I used to do that,
Speaker 2: and I don't know how people could watch that.
Speaker 1: Can I ask you why?
Speaker 7: Because when I saw him in the administration, and I
Speaker 7: think a lot of people did, and that it's it's
Speaker 7: people understand this. It's he was not effective in government.
Speaker 7: And I think that a lot of people in the
Speaker 7: Biden administration are talking about this because they realized.
Speaker 3: That he was ron Klain. Ron Klain gave him money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's his problem?
Speaker 7: Not an effective HHS secretary? And if you ask any
Speaker 7: cabinet secretary, they would tell you the same thing. And
Speaker 7: so I think that there is a I think people
Speaker 7: recognize this, and I think this is why Tom Steyer
Speaker 7: has gone to the top. Biden and Harris think that
Speaker 7: I think there have been I have not spoken with them.
Speaker 3: Okay, Now, two things can be true at the exact
Speaker 3: same time. One be Sarah's a buffoon. But uh, soci
Speaker 3: stire send you any checks lately?
Speaker 1: That could be an issue. You know.
Speaker 3: I got to say, as much of a buffoon as
Speaker 3: Tom Style, as much of a buffoon as Javier Bakaria is.
Speaker 3: This new ad that he put out is my favorite
Speaker 3: political ad of all time. It is just peaceful, tranquil
Speaker 3: shots of California and said in text, if you're tired
Speaker 3: of Tom Steyer ads, vote for me. Whoever came up
Speaker 3: with that is pretty brilliant.
Speaker 2: By the way, if she's being paid for by the
Speaker 2: Tom Steyer campaign and she's providing commentary on a news
Speaker 2: network after the debate, that's something that they're supposed to disclose.
Speaker 3: I don't think she was, but I'm always a little
Speaker 3: suspicious of anybody that talks about how great Tom Steyer
Speaker 3: does in these debates.
Speaker 2: I'm not convinced that she thinks that Tom Steyer is
Speaker 2: the Bee's knees. What I think she's trying to do
Speaker 2: is she's trying to separate Bakeria from the Biden people
Speaker 2: because she knows what's coming scrub it.
Speaker 3: Well. Should we go to the part of the debate
Speaker 3: where Steve Hilton lays out exactly what may be coming
Speaker 3: to Javier Bacheria.
Speaker 1: Let's do it.
Speaker 3: This started as a inquisition into Chad Bianco's ballad stunt,
Speaker 3: and then it got turned into a Bakeria thing.
Speaker 8: My view is that it's a bit rich for Javier
Speaker 8: to talk about following the law when he is mid
Speaker 8: personally in a corruption scandal where his former chief of
Speaker 8: staff Sean McCluskey. When Javier was appointed by Joe Biden
Speaker 8: to be health secretary, he wanted his staff to go
Speaker 8: with him. The salary wasn't enough, so what did they do.
Speaker 8: They took money from Javier's campaign account to top up
Speaker 8: his salary by funneling it to Dana Williamson, Gavin Newsom's
Speaker 8: former chief of staff.
Speaker 3: This is super inside baseball, but I think he's doing
Speaker 3: a decent job at explaining it for all the Rubes
Speaker 3: watching CNN.
Speaker 2: I also believe that everything he said so far is true.
Speaker 8: So that it was paid to this guy's wife. All
Speaker 8: of that is illegal. It is against state law, it's
Speaker 8: against federal law. My running mate for Attorney General, Michael Gates,
Speaker 8: has this evening written to Javier Passera to make it
Speaker 8: clear that when he is Attorney General. Javier will be
Speaker 8: investigated and it's necessarily prosecuted for these crimes.
Speaker 6: Mister Shelton, just to clarify the questions.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think it goes beyond that. By the way, again,
Speaker 2: this is my opinion. This is strictly my opinion. But
Speaker 2: I believe that he was not only laundering money to
Speaker 2: McCluskey to bring McCluskey a law to Washington, d C.
Speaker 2: With him, but I believe that he was laundering money
Speaker 2: to Dane Williamson too as a retainer so that she
Speaker 2: wouldn't work for another candidate who is going to run
Speaker 2: for governor, because he thought by keeping her on the
Speaker 2: payroll that as Gavin Newsom's chief of staff, she would
Speaker 2: be able to bring the Gavin people with her, and
Speaker 2: all of the unions that supported him and the interest
Speaker 2: group that supported him, they all need things from her,
Speaker 2: and if she could then direct them to Javier for governor,
Speaker 2: that he would benefit politically from that, which you're not
Speaker 2: allowed to do.
Speaker 1: If you're a cabinet official.
Speaker 9: About the seizure of the ballots in Riverside County, do
Speaker 9: you believe that Sheriff Bianco took the right stuff there.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this is going back to Bianco fighting about
Speaker 3: the ballots. But they go back to this over and
Speaker 3: over and over again. And I would say, at least
Speaker 3: from the half of the debate that I listened to
Speaker 3: this morning, Besarah was target number one.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and by the way, so let's just to
Speaker 2: sew for one second, for the purposes of conversation, that
Speaker 2: he was laundering the money to McCluskey so he could
Speaker 2: augment his income and his chief of staff would come
Speaker 2: with him from California to Washington, since he trusted very
Speaker 2: few people in Washington, And that Dana Williamson was having
Speaker 2: money laundered to her so that she would not sign
Speaker 2: on with another candidate. What do you think the odds
Speaker 2: are none of them were paying taxes on any of this.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's definitely possible.
Speaker 2: If you're Besarah, you can't list that as an employee
Speaker 2: who's receiving compensation because that would be illegal. And if
Speaker 2: you're them and your quote unquote stealing it, you can't
Speaker 2: declare the money. So no taxtes. I assume we're being
Speaker 2: paid on any of that, which you also can't do.
Speaker 1: Scrub it.
Speaker 2: If you'd like to email the show you can do
Speaker 2: so at Johnny don't like show at gmail dot com.
Speaker 2: That's Johnny, don't like show at gmail dot com. And Randy,
Speaker 2: you're monitoring the mailbag.
Speaker 3: Brad wrightes in at Johnny, don't like show at gmail
Speaker 3: dot com. Every single time I pick up a sponge,
Speaker 3: I say scrub it and I blame you.
Speaker 2: A second Biden administration official has come out and whacked
Speaker 2: Javier bachariea.
Speaker 3: Michael LaRosa just put out earlier. So g Henosa's assessment
Speaker 3: last night on CNN was more accurate and the most
Speaker 3: widely held view about him in the first two years
Speaker 3: of the White House. But he also wasn't Biden's first
Speaker 3: choice or his first choice that was offered and accepted
Speaker 3: that job either.
Speaker 2: And Michael Losia, if you're wondering, was Jill Biden spokesman.
Speaker 2: So there's no way that Jill Biden spokesman would be
Speaker 2: coming out and saying this unless Grampy Joe believes it too.
Speaker 3: Grampy Joe had no idea who he was.
Speaker 5: For Secretary of Health and Educations over I nominated Hobbier Bakaria, And.
Speaker 3: That's the clip that we play all the time. But many, many, many,
Speaker 3: many many times throughout the Biden years he would confuse
Speaker 3: Bessarah and Majorcis that's true, he had no idea eight
Speaker 3: hundred two two two five two two two. He is
Speaker 3: a jellphone number one. Eight hundred two two two five
Speaker 3: two two two. All right, let's get to more sound
Speaker 3: from last night's debate. A question came up revolving around
Speaker 3: Katie Porter's treatment of a staffer. Get out of my shot,
Speaker 3: and of course, because Porter is listed on the cut sheet,
Speaker 3: this is the one John wants to play first.
Speaker 1: Let's hear it.
Speaker 9: Thank you such starch to issues of leadership, which is
Speaker 9: something that obviously all of you would be in the
Speaker 9: position to deal with if.
Speaker 6: You are elected governor and mayor.
Speaker 9: Via Ragosa, you actually put out an ad of your
Speaker 9: own recently that highlighted your opponent here, Congressman Katie Porter,
Speaker 9: threatening to cut off an interview with a reporter that
Speaker 9: came after a video surface of her berating, Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: This was via Goosa's strategy when the Julie Watts interview
Speaker 3: originally went everywhere, in no small part thanks to this
Speaker 3: show pushing it out and Tonio via Goosa's people bought
Speaker 3: three minutes of airtime on Sacramento and aired the entire exchange.
Speaker 9: And Mayor via a Goosa, you actually put out an
Speaker 9: ad of your own recently that highlighted your opponent here,
Speaker 9: Congressman Katie Porter, threatening to cut off an interview with
Speaker 9: a reporter that came after a video surface of brating
Speaker 9: a member of her staff.
Speaker 3: Well, actually, no, did Julie Watts video happened first and
Speaker 3: then someone at one of the other campaigns decided to
Speaker 3: pile on.
Speaker 1: I'm glad I came back for the money shot.
Speaker 9: If a senior official in your government acted as she
Speaker 9: did in those videos, would you fire them?
Speaker 10: Yes, but let's be clear that's irrelevant.
Speaker 3: Antoni of Viragosa. Would you fire a staffer for sleeping
Speaker 3: with a Telemunda reporter.
Speaker 1: Irrelevant? Crime of passion irrelevant because.
Speaker 10: One of us will be the next governor?
Speaker 3: Antoni of Viragosa? Would you fire someone for making fake
Speaker 3: proclamations to get you into Laker games?
Speaker 1: Didn't you have a printer in the back of his car?
Speaker 3: Yes, he did, so he could go to Laker games
Speaker 3: on official business.
Speaker 10: And but let me let me just say something about
Speaker 10: what vir Bessera has refused to answer.
Speaker 3: See look at this. They set up a perfect time
Speaker 3: for you to go after Katie, and they want to
Speaker 3: go after Bachaia.
Speaker 1: He took a pass.
Speaker 3: And that is that well, because they don't think Katie
Speaker 3: Porter is a threat anymore. She's only been trending downwards.
Speaker 3: She never recovered from those videos. And even in the
Speaker 3: latest tracking poll for the California Democratic Party after swallowell out,
Speaker 3: Bacarea up, Mayheon up, Katie Porter down.
Speaker 10: And that is that your chief of staff was indicted
Speaker 10: for patting his salary with your campaign funds.
Speaker 3: We're going right back to that one.
Speaker 10: You initially on CNN said that you knew that you
Speaker 10: signed it, you knew that they spent ten thousand dollars,
Speaker 10: and then on the second time on your show you
Speaker 10: said you didn't know.
Speaker 1: The fact is, as I said, I'm.
Speaker 3: Going to assume when he said your show, he was
Speaker 3: pointing to Alex.
Speaker 10: Yeah, as I said, I think you have As I said.
Speaker 3: I think you have a answer.
Speaker 10: You had two committees, you spent fifteen hundred for one
Speaker 10: and ten thousand for your other.
Speaker 3: Backstreet and Johnny, these two, their feud goes all the
Speaker 3: way back to the La City Council days.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Well, don't forget when VIAA Goosa ran for
Speaker 2: mayor the first time, the Latino Democratic political machines in
Speaker 2: town wanted a Latino mayor and they wanted via Ragosa
Speaker 2: to be the only candidate, and Bsarah ran and they
Speaker 2: thought that that would be enough to keep via Regosa
Speaker 2: off the general election ballot, and they were really worried
Speaker 2: about that. Well, as it turns out, Bessarah had no
Speaker 2: support at all and was not a threat to via Regosa,
Speaker 2: and he advanced to the general election anyway. But the
Speaker 2: fact that he wouldn't get out of the race when
Speaker 2: asked to caused bad blood between those two that has
Speaker 2: apparently not been resolved.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: I want to go to Congressmom and Porter since wait time,
Speaker 6: O welcome.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: At the center of that ad, can you put out.
Speaker 3: An ad of your Can we go back to bashing
Speaker 3: Katie and I love the fact that she's the one
Speaker 3: that wants to weigh in on this topic now.
Speaker 9: Making light of that interaction that you had with your
Speaker 9: it's not correct, Caitlin, which you said you apologized for.
Speaker 4: That is not correct. The ad is about showing Californians
Speaker 4: what they've had a chance to see.
Speaker 3: Wait, you're trying to correct Kaitlyn on the ad that
Speaker 3: you put out. That's trying to make fun of your
Speaker 3: big viral moment, thinking that it was your last desperate
Speaker 3: attempt to get any attention.
Speaker 1: Come on, Katie, interesting strategy,
