Thanks for having me. 37 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: All right, you just gave a speech on the floor 38 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: of the House of Representatives about the July fourth address 39 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 2: that dsa mayor of New York City, Zora on Mom Donnie, 40 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: gave to the nation. Can you tell us about what 41 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: you had to say in front of your fellow members 42 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: of the House. 43 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, fundamentally, it's a question of freedom and socialism. 44 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: Those are two entirely incompatible of points of view, and 45 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: one has to prevail and you know, you hear all 46 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: the time that, well capitalism, that's dog eat dog, lookout 47 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: for yourself. That was essentially Mandami's message, and socialism is 48 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: sharing and caring and looking out for each other. And 49 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: the fact is it's exactly the opposite of there's only 50 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: one possible way to succeed in a free market, capitalist system. 51 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: You've got to figure out what somebody else needs and 52 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: how to get it for them better than they get 53 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: it for themselves. It might be mowing their law and 54 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: it might be doing brain surgery on their child, but 55 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: whatever it is, you have to help your neighbor. That's 56 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: the only way that you can get ahead. Socialism is 57 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: taking what one person is earned by helping others and 58 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: giving it to somebody who hasn't. It's true, if I 59 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: take a dollar from Peter and give it to Paul, 60 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: Paul's got an extra dollar to spend. I've helped him. 61 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: I've hurt Peter by exactly that same amount. That's what 62 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: Milton Friedman warned when he said, you know, you cannot 63 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: say that government is going to help one person without 64 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: at the very same time saying it's going to hurt 65 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: somebody else. But what I've really done. By taking a 66 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: dollar from Peter and give it to Paul, I've taken 67 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: away from both of them a dollar's worth of incentive 68 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: to help each other. Paul no longer needs to help Peter. 69 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: He already has his dollar. Peter no longer profits from 70 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: helping Paul, and the glue that holds the society together 71 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: begins to dissolve. And that's why you see the same 72 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: pathologies wherever socialism is introduced. You see sky high taxes, 73 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: of a rising crime, shortages of basic necessities, of ultimately 74 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: failing businesses, and fleeing families. 75 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 2: You look at poll numbers right now in this country, 76 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: particularly within the Democratic Party, and the DSA is on 77 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 2: the rise in that party right now. According to a 78 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,799 Speaker 2: Marquette Law School poll that was conducted earlier this year, 79 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,119 Speaker 2: forty two percent of Democratic voters have a favorable view 80 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: of the DSA, compared to seventeen percent who view them unfavorably. 81 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 2: When you ask the question do you prefer capitalism or 82 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: democratic socialism? To Democratic voters, they prefer democratic socialism to 83 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: capitalism by a fifty eight point margin. You look at 84 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: traditional Democratic candidates who do not align with the DSA, 85 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: do not claim to be members of the DSA. Kamala Harris, 86 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: she just met with Zoran mom Da and she made 87 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: sure that everyone knows about it because she wants Democratic 88 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 2: voters to know that she considers him part of the team, 89 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 2: and she's not going to run against him and his policies. 90 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 2: She's going to try to co opt them. Now you 91 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 2: have Gavin Newsom, who's another potential candidate for president and 92 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: the Democratic primary, who had been opposed to this wealth 93 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: confiscation tax here in California sponsored by the SCIU. He 94 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 2: sees all of these DSA wins, and man, that guy 95 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: makes a pivot almost immediately and says, well, yeah, I 96 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 2: oppose it at the state level, but I think we 97 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: should have a tax like that at the federal level. 98 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: What do you make of the fact that the DSA 99 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 2: is so popular right now within the Democratic Party. 100 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: Well, obviously this is no longer a lunatic fringe of 101 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. It is the Democratic Party, and they're 102 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: advancing a brazen agenda of open borders. They want to 103 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,679 Speaker 1: abolish ice, they support crushing tax increases and a renewed 104 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: war on fossil fuels. But look wherever they've taken control 105 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: They took our most beautiful cities of the twentieth century 106 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: of Detroit, Saint Louis, Baltimore, New York City, of Los Angeles, 107 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: San Francisco and turned them into socialist hellholes. They've done 108 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: the same thing to our most beautiful states, including California. 109 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: California used to have among the lowest taxes in the country. 110 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: It had the lowest unemployment rate. We had the finest 111 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: roads in the country. We had the finest university system 112 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: in the world. Our schools were way ahead of the 113 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: rest of the country. And in a generation, by applying 114 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: the principles of socialism, they destroyed all of that. Why 115 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: would anyone in his right mind want to continue policies 116 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: that have proven themselves so destructive wherever they've been tried. 117 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: The fact is socialism has not worked any better in 118 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: California then everywhere else in the country in the world 119 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: that has ever been tried. 120 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 2: When you look at the DSA candidates that have been 121 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: electorally successful in recent elections and you compare them to 122 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: the Democratic candidates that they've been running against, one of 123 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: the starkest differences between the two of them is the 124 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: framing of Donald Trump with the traditional Democrats. Trump is 125 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: the villain in every story. He's the threat to democracy. 126 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 2: He's the guy who wants to be a king. He's 127 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 2: the guy who wants to be a dictator. It doesn't 128 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 2: matter what office they're running for, if it's a federal office, 129 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 2: a state office, a local office, they're running to stop Trump. 130 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: That is their agenda, that is their platform. When you 131 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 2: look at the DSA candidates, it's a little different. They're 132 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: happy to talk Trump, but Trump isn't the central villain. 133 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: They talk about how capitalism is the problem and Trump 134 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 2: is a product of capitalism, and then they pivot and 135 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 2: then they talk about all these loony ideas that they 136 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: have that you just mentioned, this laundry list of socialist ones. 137 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 2: And even though what they're advocating for is crazy, and 138 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: I think most people, I don't think they could ever 139 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 2: win a national election. Most people see these ideas as crazy. 140 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,119 Speaker 2: Within these democratic primaries, they are the only ones talking 141 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: about ideas because the traditional Democrats have tds to the 142 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 2: point to where they're incapable of talking about any other subject, 143 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: and they've just given the floor to the DSA. 144 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: Well, I think it goes deeper than that. I think 145 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party has been moving in this direction for 146 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: quite some time, and the DSA is simply the natural 147 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: result of that extremism now coming to dominate the party. 148 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: But they've always, at least through in my lifetime, advocated 149 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: higher and higher taxes, more and more oppressive regulations, and 150 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: wherever they've had their way, you've seen housing prices go 151 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: through the roof. You've seen necessities of basic shortages of 152 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: basic necessities like water, electricity, gasoline. I mean, look at 153 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: California's gasoline prices compared with the rest of the country. 154 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: We're like two dollars more a gallon. Well, there's a 155 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: reason for that. The policies are the left that have 156 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: dominated our state for many years now, and the question 157 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: is do you want to continue to let on this road. 158 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: I look at California with all of its advantages, the 159 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: most equitable climate of the entire hemisphere, the most bountiful 160 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: resources anywhere in the continent of the United States. We're 161 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: on the Pacific grim in a position to dominate world trade. 162 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: And yet you look at the census data and you'll 163 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: see that a million and a half more people have 164 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: moved out of California that have moved in we have 165 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: a massive population exodus and two of the most popular 166 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: destinations for California's patriots Nevada in Arizona. And I would 167 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: put this question to you, Can you imagine an act 168 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: of God that could do that much damage to California 169 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: to turn it into a less desirable place to live 170 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: in the middle of the Nevada Nuclear test range. I 171 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: can't think one. But acts of government can do that 172 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 1: much damage, and they have. And it's precisely those policies 173 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: that socialism has brought to California, that socialism has brought 174 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: to all of the other cities and states, and for 175 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: that matter, countries that it's wrecked over time, you would 176 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: think that at some point people would start to connect 177 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: the dots. 178 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 2: We're speaking with California Congressman Tom McClintock. Congressman. No one 179 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 2: knows better than you how difficult it is for taxpayers 180 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 2: or homeowners to get a win in Sacramento. Doesn't happen 181 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 2: very often. Sacramento is a town where the unions dominate 182 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 2: and they usually get their way. But a couple of 183 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 2: weeks ago, taxpayers and homeowners did get a win in 184 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: Sacramento when the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association collected enough signatures 185 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: to qualify an initiative for the ballot that would have 186 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 2: protected Proposition thirteen. The unions were terrified that it would pass. 187 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom was terrified that it would pass. Very specifically, 188 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, was terrified that 189 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 2: it would pass. And they went to the negotiating table 190 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 2: with John Coopol and the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and 191 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: gave him a bird in the hand. He's going to 192 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 2: be able to come up with the title and summary 193 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 2: for the initiative that is going to be on the 194 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: November ballot. Everyone expects this thing to pass. And I 195 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 2: asked him what was his secret, sauce, what was it 196 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: that he did this time that allowed him to get 197 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 2: the win for taxpayers? And he said, don't blink. If 198 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 2: you don't blink, and you just stay the course and 199 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: you just keep pushing, that's the only thing that they respect. 200 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: That's the only thing that gets you any kind of 201 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: standing in that town at all. Do you see any 202 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 2: pearls of wisdom of that battle and that victory for 203 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: taxpayers for homeowners in California where we can look to 204 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 2: that and we can go okay, maybe there is a 205 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 2: path forward to bringing sanity back to California when it 206 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 2: comes to tax policy or how Sacramento punishes homeowners. Are 207 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 2: you as optimistic as couple, Well. 208 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. Thank God for John Coupol and 209 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: thank God for the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. You remember 210 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: a generation ago when we passed proposas thirteen. Families were 211 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: losing their homes all over California because the appreciation was 212 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: growing on those homes, and as a result, people's taxes 213 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: were growing beyond their ability to pay for them. They 214 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: knew what their mortgage payment was and they built that 215 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: into their budgets. But as their taxes went up year 216 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: after year after year, they were being priced out of 217 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: their own homes. Proposition thirteen saved them from that, and 218 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: that was made possible by Howard Jarvis by Jonathan Coupel 219 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: is now the president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, 220 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: and the work of an awful lot of volunteers who 221 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: came out to stand up against big government. That's been 222 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: done before, it can be done again. And John's just 223 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: shown that the ballot box is an important safety valve 224 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: for voters who have long ago have been ignored by 225 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: their elected officials. This gives them the ability to put 226 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: measures on the ballot directly, and John did that with 227 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: this measure and was able to force Sacramento him to 228 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: back down. It's you know, that's why we had You know, 229 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: we're about thirty fourth in the country and in our 230 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: property taxes today compare that we're number one in our 231 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: income taxes, umber one in our sales taxes, but we've 232 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: been shielded from the property taxes by the work of 233 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: Howard Jarvis. 234 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: Let's shift gears and talk about the gubernatorial election for 235 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 2: a second, because Javier besserra Is seems to be in 236 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 2: the witness protection program right now, where they were just 237 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 2: talking about him in the news this morning about what 238 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: he thought about the voter ID initiative, and they had 239 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: to use a quote from him from a month or 240 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 2: so ago because he's just not present. He's just not 241 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 2: actively campaigning in any sort of real way. This seems 242 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 2: to be the playbook right now among Democrats running for 243 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 2: the statewide constitutional offices. And I guess you could throw 244 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 2: the two US Senate seats in there as well, where 245 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 2: you make it to the runoff with a Republican and 246 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 2: then you just disappear. You don't make yourself available for interviews, 247 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 2: you don't show up to candidate forums, you don't want 248 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 2: to debate your opponent unless it's on the radio at 249 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 2: ten o'clock in the morning in the middle of summer, 250 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: or up against a football game or whatever. That seems 251 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 2: to be what he plans on doing in this race, 252 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: where he pulls a Joe Biden, goes into the basement 253 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: and doesn't come out until the election is over. I 254 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 2: understand strategically why a Democratic candidate would want to do that. 255 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 2: If they go out and they campaign and they make 256 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 2: a mistake that could become an issue in the race, 257 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: that could, I guess, if the mistake is big enough 258 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 2: caused them to lose. But the people who lose the 259 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 2: most when you do that are the voters, are the 260 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 2: people who live in California. Because it seems like he 261 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: wants to deny us an honest conversation about where the 262 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 2: future of the state is going. 263 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: What's the arrogance of a one party state. We saw 264 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: that with Katie Porter in the primary, when she was asked, 265 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: how are you going to appeal to Republican voters? And 266 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: she essentially says, I don't need Republican voters, why would 267 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: I even try? But what the Sarah promises is more 268 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: of the same. And I think Republican candidate Steve Hilton 269 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: is going to make significant in roads in California by 270 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: raising these fundamental issues. Do you really want to continue 271 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: to live like this? You know, we have the most 272 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: beautiful state in the country. The only thing we lack 273 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: is wise public policy. We don't have to live like 274 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: this with chronic water shortages and one of the most 275 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: water rich regions of the country, with the highest electricity 276 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: prices in the United States, with the worst traffic congestion, 277 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: and we pay the highest gas taxes in the country, 278 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: and yet we always rank at the bottom in our 279 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: per capita spending for our highways. Why do you want 280 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: to continue to live like this? California? And I think 281 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: that's the point that Steve Hilton's going to make it. 282 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: My guess is if he starts to make inroads, that's 283 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: going to force Sarah out of whatever hole he's hiding 284 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: in and defend the policies that have utterly destroyed our 285 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: beautiful state of California. 286 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 2: What do you make of Gavin Newsom's presidential hopes as 287 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 2: they stand right now. And I say that because we 288 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 2: now have an environmental disaster going on in Boil Heights 289 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 2: where we had the cold storage facility, have the fire, 290 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 2: and now you have all the rotting food, and after 291 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 2: a chemical fire went on for weeks on end, now 292 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 2: you have this rotting food that's making the neighborhood just 293 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 2: stink by almost indescribable how bad the smell is. The 294 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 2: marriage just went down to a community forum, got cursed out, 295 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 2: screamed at. I mean, it was probably she'd rather be 296 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 2: any other place than there on planet Earth. But she 297 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 2: did show up and take her lumps instead of showing 298 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 2: up and taking his lumps. Gavin Newsom is in the 299 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 2: state of Nevada campaigning for Democrats running for office in 300 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 2: that state. Showing up to an environmental disaster seems like 301 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 2: something you should do if you're the governor of a state, 302 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 2: and you should make sure that adequate resources are there 303 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 2: and people are getting what they need, and you know, 304 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 2: if people are getting sick, they're being taken care of. 305 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 2: He could care less and decided to campaign in a 306 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 2: different state for candidates who cannot impact the state of 307 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 2: California instead of doing his day job. Have you ever 308 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 2: seen a governor in California this checked out before? 309 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 1: Well, yes, Jerry Brown, I think you could add him 310 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: to the list. In fact, I think a lot of 311 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: the problems began under his first administration, his era of limits, 312 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: smallest beautiful, don't build things, and people won't come mentality. 313 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: That's when we abandon our highways. We stop people from 314 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: building homes at all income levels to meet demand. We 315 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: stopped building electricity generation. A lot of that started under him, 316 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: it's continued under democratic regimes. Sin has now reached this 317 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: point where California is suffering chronic shortages of all of 318 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 1: the above. But that's going to be a pretty difficult 319 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: case to make to the American people. How about make 320 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: all of America as bad as California. 321 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 6: Don't quit. 322 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: I said, one and a half million more people have 323 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: moved out than moved in. They've moved to the fifty 324 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: other forty nine other states, and they're telling their stories 325 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: to their neighbors of why they left. And I don't 326 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: think that's a particularly good launching pad for a presidential campaign. 327 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 2: California Congressman Tom McClintock, representing California's fifth congressional district. You 328 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 2: can get him online at Tom McClintock dot com and 329 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 2: you can follow him on exit. Tom mcclintalk, Congressman mcclintalk, 330 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 2: thanks so much for stopping by. 331 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: My pleasure, John, thanks for having me. 332 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 2: It's the John Phillips Show.
