WEBVTT - Julie Watts Previews tomorrow's debate 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.440 And we continue at what five in the afternoon on 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:07.440 the John Phillips Show, Mister Randy weggs across the glass Well, John, 0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:11.200 it doesn't get more California than this. A project to 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:14.680 build a bike lane on the Bay Bridge is ten 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:18.680 years late, only half complete, and needs seven hundred million 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:23.320 dollars to finish. Boy, that's right up there with a 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:28.440 bullet train, isn't it. This is for a bike lane. 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:31.720 It's a lot of money to make people on Schwins happy. 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.879 Eight hundred two two two five two two two is 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:40.159 telephone number one. Eight hundred two two two five two 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:43.120 two two. It is our pleasure to welcome our next 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:47.080 guest to the program. Joel Gilbert is an American filmmaker 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.400 who is also one of the first people in the 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:54.080 media to be on Eric Swalwell. He was the one 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.639 who filed a lawsuit in Sacramento Superior Court trying to 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:02.639 disqualify Swallwell from running for California governor, striking him from 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:08.000 the ballot, saying that Swalwell doesn't actually live in California. Well, 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.399 when people started doing the digging in the mainstream media, 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.600 they pretty much confirmed that Swalwell lives in Maryland and 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.840 not in California, as he, of course spends a lot 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:23.160 of money on hotel rooms in and around his district, 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.960 something you wouldn't have to do if you actually lived here. 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.800 Whether the courts are ultimately willing to do something about it, 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.840 I guess we'll never know, because Eric Swalwell has suspended 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:40.080 his campaign due too well, unfortunate circumstances. Let's just call 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.399 it that. Joining us right now is the man who 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.759 filed that lawsuit in Sacramento Superior Court. You can follow 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.000 him on exit. Joel S Gilbert, Joel Gilbert, welcome. 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.560 Okay, good to be here, Thank you. Filed the lawsuit 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.920 a couple of months ago. It actually ran into Swalwell 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.080 at his town hall in Santa Monica back in January, 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.960 and he came around and shook every buddy's hand before 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.200 it started. They were only about fifty people, and I 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.200 think he recognized me because instead of doing a two 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:12.000 hour quan thirty minutes, so I think he didn't be 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.760 asking him, hey, can I get your address in California please, 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.160 because you know he didn't have one. I did other 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.320 research on Swawah. One thing led to another. I found 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.000 that he had an illegal alien Brazilian nanny working for 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.960 him for several years that he first paid her from 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.040 the campaign, which you're not allowed to do because the 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:37.239 campaign can only pay for childcare if it's specific event related. 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.799 I went to Pittsburgh and I did an event Thursday night. 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.119 I had to hire a babysitter. He was charging full time, 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.600 all year round childcare and paying this so pair from Brazil. 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.200 Her visa ran out, He took her off the books 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.840 for two years, paid her illegally, and then put her 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.400 back on the book. So I'd made two complaints a 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.440 DHS Department Homeland Security complaint against Swawall and his wife 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:04.600 illegally employing an illegal alien, second complaint with the Federal 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:08.160 Election Commission because you're not allowed to charge full time 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:12.840 childcare to your donors. Amazingly, Swawell, despite these complaints that 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.680 he knew about because he was retweeting me and calling 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.560 me names on Twitter, even when he ran for governor, 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.960 he paid his wife from his campaign donors to look 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:26.360 after their own kids. So Swollwell was completely corrupt. Everything 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.240 he did was corrupt. He took advantage of his campaign donors, 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.200 and it all caught up to him with these sexual 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.239 assault allegations, and he had to drop out. 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.000 If I'm not mistaken, and correct me if I'm wrong. 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.280 He is also one of these people who used his 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:45.520 campaign account to do things like stay in fancy hotels, 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:51.000 fly first class, go to sporting events, go to concerts, 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.560 essentially live a life of luxury that he otherwise would 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:59.600 not be able to afford on a mere congressman salary. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:04.280 You're correct. He even charged one hundred orders of staggering 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.600 one hundred orders to Drizzly, which is a wine and 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:12.120 beer company delivering booze. So he absolutely abused his donors. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.520 Imagine you're working a job and you give Swallow one 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.120 hundred bucks only to find out he used it for 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.520 fancy hotels, booze, and to pay his wife. He really 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:25.320 insulted his donors. And it's all pretty amazing because you know, 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.799 I studied Swalwell. When he ran for congress in twenty twelve, 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.080 he had one hundred thousand dollars in student loan debt 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.960 and he also owed one hundred thousand in credit cards. 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.040 Flash forward twenty twenty four, his campaign disclosures showed he 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.880 hadn't paid either one of them off. He's making one 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.720 hundred and seventy four thousand a years a congressman. He 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:48.359 charges everything to his campaign donors. So there's still some 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.120 mystery out there. Where did this guy's money go? Where 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.640 did it go? Is he paying people off? Is he 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:58.480 paying lawyers? Is he paying settlements? Is still one more 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.360 thing we're going to learn about Swalwell. We're going to 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.520 find out what he's done with his money all these years, 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.280 because it's just. 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:05.800 Not clear well. 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:07.960 And I would imagine, and I'm not a lawyer, but 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.359 I would imagine that there's an element of fraud that 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.440 exists if that's how you're spending the money. Because if 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.960 you're a little old lady getting ginned up late at 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.520 night watching Rachel Maddow and you see him on there 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.960 and you think, Okay, this guy's going to get reelected 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.920 and he can torment Trump for two more years, and 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.080 you write up a check for one hundred bucks, I 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.960 would imagine that little old lady thinks that money's going 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:34.120 for bumper stickers and maybe for campaign T shirts, and 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.680 maybe for radio ads or television ads to get him reelected. 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.159 The money is not going to make it so that 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:41.960 he can live like Elieme Clampet. 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.480 No, he absolutely abused his campaign donors for Congress, his 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:52.200 gubernatorial donors were abused, high end hotels, booze paying his 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.719 wife to watch their kids. You can't do that. So 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.680 he's had a lot of arrogance and disdain, and it 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.680 finally caught up to him with these allegations of sexual assault. 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.400 I thought he was a bad dude. I met him 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.200 in person, I shook his hand, I looked him in 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.800 the eye. It was very uncomfortable around him. He had 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.279 an attitude that he just wants to be this kind 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.159 of anti Trump thug. That's all he wanted to do 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.520 in life. And people let him do that for a 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.880 couple of years, but it all came crashing down as 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:23.320 we saw now. 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:27.080 As a documentarian, when you put together a documentary, when 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.120 you're doing research, when you have a project that you're 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.440 working on, I would imagine that, as many people in 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:37.520 that industry do. You have standards and practices where you 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.640 hear many things, but unless you believe that you can 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.919 prove it, not just to yourself but to a judge. 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.320 If you were to be sued for defamation or libel 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.919 or whatever, you have to have all of your claims 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.200 bulletproof before you're willing to run with them in any 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:57.080 kind of public forum, let alone put it into a documentary. 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:01.080 That being said, when you're researching this subject and you're 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.720 doing a deep dive, as you did on Eric Swalwell, 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.440 I'm sure you hear a million different things when you 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.000 were doing your research in your due diligence on the 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:15.280 issues related to his residency and the issues related to 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:19.119 how he was spending his campaign account, how the money 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.040 in his campaign account, whether that was legal or not. 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:26.800 Did you ever hear any rumors from anyone about any 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:32.280 kind of inappropriate sexual relationships with staffers, with interns, or 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.560 any allegations of sexual assault or rape. Did that ever 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:36.160 cross you? 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.560 It never came up because I was relying on public 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.960 documents which revealed a tremendous amount it. Swallow is required 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.080 to make FEC filings every quarter, where it shows where 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.400 all his money is going, and that tells you a 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:52.760 great deal. Now, regarding his lack of any residence in California, 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.960 I did a search in Alameda County property records. He 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.240 never owned a home in California. He never rented anywhere either. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.240 Three days before my court trial, some woman that used 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.560 to work for his campaign, who lived in a thirteen 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.280 hundred square foot house with her husband, dog, and kid. 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.080 She gave a declaration to the court saying she rented 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.400 her house to Swallwell five years ago, but she provided 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:19.240 no lease, no documentation. I looked up the homestead exemption 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:23.000 for Alameda County. Turns out she's taking a seven thousand 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.520 dollars homestead exemption every year, which requires you to live 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.400 in the house. New York Post sent a reporter after 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.760 her house, and there's the German shepherd. She's there with 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.280 her kid. The neighbors said they'd never seen Swallwell. Tom 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.480 Steyers campaign looked it up. I didn't even think to 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.880 do it. Tom Stiers campaign looked up his expenses and 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:44.160 found that every time he visited Alameda County, his home district, 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.839 he stayed in the Rose Hotel. So that woman gave 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.960 a false declaration to the court. I made a tax 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:55.439 fraud complaint against her with Alameda County because she took 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.520 a homestead exemption which requires her to live there. But 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.640 she's claiming that she doesn't live that Swalwell does. So 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.239 a lot of people are getting in trouble because of Swalwell. 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.800 This girl named Kastrina Mazurka has a tax rout complaint. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.080 His wife I made a complaint against her for falsifying 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:15.920 a visa application for their illegal alien Brazilian nanny, and 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.520 of course the illegal alien Brazilian nanny was overstaying her visa. 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.960 So a lot of people are getting in trouble for 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.520 cooperating with Swalwell's schemes, and they're going to be in 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:26.800 big trouble with him as well. 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.040 Okay, So let's assume that the courts pursue this, and 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:35.240 let's assume that charges are filed regarding sexual assault, and 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.320 we know that there are district attorneys in Alameda County, 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.520 Los Angeles County, and New York City that are looking 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:45.480 into some of these allegations. I would imagine that if 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.079 they're looking for some of these people who may or 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.719 may not know information related to the sexual assault allegations, 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.960 they could use this tax these tax complaints to squeeze 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.160 them to get them to sing on the other subjects. 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.640 Look, there's so much material everywhere you look at Swolwell. 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.720 He's done something inappropriate or outright illegal in my opinion 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.040 from looking at his document it's all public documents, So 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:15.040 he has at least seven investigations going on between the 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:20.920 fec DHS criminal complaints. This guy, you just can imagine there. 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.120 I was in the same room with him in January. 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.240 He's looking me in the eye and he's kind of 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.120 takes a half a step back. I don't think he 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.079 knew who he was dealing with, because I was not 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.000 going to give up till I exposed this guy. 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.319 Do you get the impression that he thought, because he 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.120 had a safe seat in Congress and he was a 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.199 star on the impeachment circuit and he was a regular 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.280 on cable news, that he thought that he was bulletproof 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:46.600 and he could do whatever he wanted. 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.680 Yeah, it's a phenomenon we've seen both in New York 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.400 State and California, where you have these politicians that grow 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.880 up in a Democrat state where they're never questioned, media 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.839 only applauds whatever they do. There's never any opposition when 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:01.679 they run for office, so when they got into the 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.040 national stage, they really still believe they can do whatever 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.360 they want and they don't have to be questioned. Remember 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:12.760 Kamala Harris when she appeared in the debate running for 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.320 president and Tulci Gabbert just took her apart. She couldn't 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.400 handle it because she'd never been criticized. So it is 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.360 a phenomenon we see with these Democrats coming out of 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.160 blue states and blue districts, where they just don't understand 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.080 that they have to follow the law on the rules 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:28.960 because they'd never been asked to before. 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:33.079 Were you surprised that so many of his allies, both 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:37.320 within the Democratic Party and the mainstream media abandoned him 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.319 as quickly as they did as soon as the allegation 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:41.760 started coming out. 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:46.160 Look, I wasn't surprised because I had already softened him 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.880 up for a couple of months. He had to say, oh, well, okay, 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.640 I don't live in that woman's house, but I rent 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:55.880 a room. I showed that he clearly was employing an 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.360 illegal alien, So he had no credibility. By the time 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:04.599 these sexual assault claims came out, he had no credibility. 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.920 Even one of the first accusers said, the only reason 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.160 I didn't come out when he started running for governors 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.840 because I didn't think anyone would believe me. But I 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.560 had knocked down his credibility so much. I think the 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.080 Democrats realized that they couldn't stick with him. 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:24.680 Were you surprised that more Democrats didn't abandon him after 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:28.520 you revealed the information that you uncovered, because I looked 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.680 at your stuff and you had him dead to rights. 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.280 I mean, there was really not a question as to 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.959 whether or not Eric Swalwell lived in Maryland or lived 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.840 in California in his home district. You pretty much nailed 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.840 him on that one. But his people didn't abandon him 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.760 when you came out with that information. Yeah, it was 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.760 Tom Steyer that certainly did, who was a rival in 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:54.040 that race for governor. But the people that had endorsed 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.880 to Eric Swalwell, they weren't pulling their endorsements from him. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.679 The donors weren't pulling their money from him. They were 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:03.120 stalling him despite the fact that you had the goods 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:03.760 on him. 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.200 Look, it's a good point. Look Swawa would attack me 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.600 on Twitter. He'd call me an idiot, he'd call me names. 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.080 He'd say it was a Maga conspiracy without even looking 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.559 at the facts. So these are the way the Democrats 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.320 work is they're used to the media supporting them, so 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.719 they simply deny everything and they think, well, people will 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:22.480 just move on. The media is not going to say anything, 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.960 just everyone's going to move on. So that's why I 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.600 just kept at it, one thing after the other, FEC complaints, 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:32.960 tax fraud complaints, Department of Labor complaint against his wife, 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:38.000 ice complaint, till it just beat his credibility up so 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.640 much that once the woman came forward, that was it. 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.600 But it is a shame that they don't immediately look 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:47.000 at the facts. And Swollwell tried to deflect by calling 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:50.360 me names and denying everything, even though the facts were 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:50.880 right there. 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.840 So the court rejected your challenge. You're appealing that decision 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.040 in the court. Do you believe that if your court 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:03.600 date happened after this story, the story of sexual assault, 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.680 the allegations of sexual assault, after that story broke, do 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.240 you think you would have gotten a different result. 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.040 I can update you what happened. Look all by myself 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.839 without an attorney. I filed the lawsuit in Sacramento court 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.960 three days before the court case. This woman said, oh no, 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.800 I ran in my house to him. I gave the 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.920 court the information showing that she lived there. They ignored 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.800 it and they found in Swalwell's favor. I appealed to 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.440 the third District Court the same day, the Third District 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.480 Appeals Court of California two pm the same day, they 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.560 denied it. Then I appealed to the California Supreme Court. 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.040 They accepted my case. This was on a Monday afternoon. 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:45.040 On Wednesday, the California Supreme Court ruled in Swalwell's favor. 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.560 So it was completely papered over the fact that the 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:53.560 California Constitution requires someone to live in the state of 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.480 California for five full years before running for governor, and 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.880 you have to have a legitimate residence, which she didn't have. 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:03.960 Theifn on a Supreme court is a dei Supreme court. 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.880 There's one white guy, one black guy, one Asian guy, 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.840 one female Hispanic, one female black, one female white. It's 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.280 all a dei court. When you have a dei court, 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:15.880 they'll vote in favor of the people that gave them 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.920 the job they weren't qualified for. So that's why they've 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.640 already voted in the Supreme Court. Now, I'm actually proud 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.200 that I was able to take it to the Supreme 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.000 Court all by myself and it did get denied, but 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:30.040 I think it did expose Swalwell's argument that he was 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.680 first They said oh, he was renting this house. Then 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.040 he said, oh no, no, no, I'm renting a room. A 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.480 renting a room is not a legitimate residence. He's never 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:41.120 been there, And I think it really took down Swalwell's 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:45.000 standing as a legitimate commentator because he was just so 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.080 full of bull by then he was on the way out. 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.760 Are there any other politicians currently running for office who's 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.840 residency you're taking a look at. 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.240 I've been taking a look at a lot of them 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.960 all the time because what's nice is mortgages are public, 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:04.239 So anybody I encourage everyone else listening to start downloading 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:08.280 mortgages of any politician who's a real low life and 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.520 look whether or not they're obeying the mortgage laws. Some 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:15.080 people I've looked at and they're violating the laws, like Swallwell. 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.560 Even in Washington, d C. He told his lender that 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.600 that would be his primary residence, and now he's telling 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.840 the state of California that he lives in California. You know, 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.320 either he's committee mortgage fraud in DC or he's not 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:32.520 qualified to run for governor. But definitely, looking at mortgages 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:34.840 is a way to see if politicians are following the 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.480 law in their personal life, and you'll be surprised to 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.320 find out a lot of them don't follow the law. 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:45.200 Jiell Gilbert independent filmmaker. You can follow him on x 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.920 at Joel S. Gilbert Jill Gilbert.

If you'd like to email the show, 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.320 you can do so at Johnny Don't Like show at 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:07.159 gmail dot com. That's Johnny Don't Like Show at gmail 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:10.880 dot com and Randy. Earlier in the show, we revealed 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:15.480 some big news. We have re signed with the company 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:19.199 that operates this radio station in southern California and our 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:24.639 radio station in Northern California, Cumulus Media, for another three 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:28.960 plus years. So we are going to continue to do 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:32.640 this from noon to three every single day on seven 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:37.520 ninety KABC in Los Angeles on eight ten KSFO in 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.000 the Bay Area, and we've got that one hour on 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.439 the weekends on KMJ. Of course, we have the podcast, 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.760 and let me just say it's very important that everybody 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:50.320 subscribes to that podcast because it's going to be very 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.960 important someday. That's as much as I will reveal right now. 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.240 But we are so excited to be here. We have 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.200 a lot of plans for the future. But the most 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.200 important thing you need to know is that this show 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:06.639 is not going anywhere for at least three years. And 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.840 coming up tomorrow, we're going on the road. We're leaving 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.080 the studios and we're going to Claremont. We're going to 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.959 be doing the show live from the city of Claremont 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:21.399 because immediately after we sign off at three, Randy, you 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:25.320 and I are going to the gubernatorial debate. So CBS 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.560 News California is putting on a gubernatorial debate at Pomona 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.439 College tomorrow. I believe it airs at five point thirty 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:35.720 at all statewide CBS stations. We were invited by Julie 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:39.800 Watts to attend and to hang out, and maybe John 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.800 has a little running with Katie Porter. Who knows, but 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:47.040 we are very excited to be there. And because you 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.200 have to check in at four o'clock and this show 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:52.000 ends at three o'clock, it was going to be really, really, 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:56.960 really really tough to get there from either the Coachella 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.160 Valley or Culver City. So we're going to be doing 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.879 the show nearby on location, and then we will be 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.800 attending the debate and we will have lots to talk 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:10.399 about on Wednesday show. But we are super psyched about it. 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.119 And in fact, Johnny, you think you're talking to Julie 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:14.880 Watson just a couple minutes here. 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:15.280 That's right. 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:19.639 Julie Watts of CBS News will be moderating tomorrow's debate. 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.960 Eight hundred two two two five two two two is 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:26.240 a telephone number one eight hundred two two two five 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:30.959 two two two. As we mentioned before, tomorrow night, in Claremont, 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:35.120 Randy and I will be attending the gubernatorial debate. It's 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.840 going to happen at Pomoda College, which is part of 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:42.320 the Claremont Colleges. I went to Claremont Graduate University for 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:46.240 my master's degree, and Pomona is on the same campus 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:50.080 as CGU. They're all there together. It's a beautiful campus. 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:53.240 If you've never been there before, I highly recommend going 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:57.040 out there and having a Sunday Brian Shu a dinner 0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.280 sometime because it's like an East Coast college town right 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:04.280 in the middle of California. But Randy, you were profiled 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:08.680 on CBS News with Julie Watts when you were able 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:11.320 to get some money that the state of California owed 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:14.359 to you, based off of a report that she did 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.240 explaining just exactly how to get that money. Thanks to 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.399 Julie Watts's reporting, we found out about claimate dot ca 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:24.679 dot gov, a website that the California Controller's Office tells 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:27.840 you if you have money that they owe you, probably 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:29.600 that was sent to an address you haven't lived to 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:30.359 in ten years. 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:32.120 So we did the story. 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:33.960 I put in my name, I put in all my 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:37.600 old addresses, and I found three hundred dollars and I 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:39.160 got three hundred dollars. 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:40.720 I put it in the bank. 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:41.560 How great is that? 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:42.280 Now? 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:44.800 How long did it take before that money went to 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:46.919 a wine club immediately? 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:48.200 All right? 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.239 Well, Julie was kind enough to invite us as her 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:55.280 guest to tomorrow night's debate because she is one of 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.600 the moderators at the debate, and she is kind enough 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:01.720 to join us right now. Julie Watts is an investigative 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:07.320 correspondent for CBS News California, specializing in state capital accountability 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:11.000 and consumer investigations.

It's a pleasure to be 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:18.360 here now. 0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:22.119 I would imagine that for you today is like the 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:25.760 day before the term paper is due in college, and 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:28.520 you're going through all your notes and you're sitting in 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:32.080 front of your laptop and you're writing the questions and 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:35.280 you're trying to figure out just exactly what topics to 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:39.200 bring up, what topics to leave out, who which candidates 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.840 should you ask? What question to those sorts of things? 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:43.879 Do you a stramra on me? 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:44.360 Right now? 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:44.920 Is this play? 0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:47.840
