1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: And very happy Tuesday to you At twelve oh six

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: in the West each the John Phillips Show, Mister Randy

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Wggs in Culver City.

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: John, I have an update for everybody. I am proud

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: to report that less than three weeks after putting my

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: name into claim it dot CA dot gov, the State

7
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 2: of California sent me a check for two hundred and

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 2: ninety seven dollars.

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 3: Wooooo, it works.

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: I found a whole bunch of like insurance premium overpayments

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: that went to my old bourbank address I haven't lived

12
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 2: in in a decade, and because I put my name in,

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: I put in the claim it got approved. The check

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: actually ended up in my mailbox yesterday.

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 3: It works.

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: Swimming pools, movie stars or tequila. Well, I finally filled

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: out the form I turned mine intoday, so let's see

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: how long that take. But according to the website, I

19
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: only had under one hundred dollars in there. The real

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: money was in a deceased grandmother's name, and I don't

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: even know how to get.

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: That money out of the state without having to share

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: it with my siblings and cousins.

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: Are you saying that it's not worth that fight?

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: Well, it's worth the fight if I can cut them out. Hey,

26
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 2: you're the first one to get at it. But yeah,

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: I got to imagine. That's where this stuff gets real complicated.

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: Is what if the state owes you money but you died.

29
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: That's true, but from my point of view, I should

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: be the one to get it because I'm the one

31
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: that landed in California in eighteen forty nine. If the

32
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: siblings stick around on the East Coast, then the gold

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: is mine.

34
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: So what you're saying is this should apply to the

35
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: law of finders.

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Keepers losers weepers. Eight hundred and two two five two

37
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: two two is a jelephone number one eight hundred two

38
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: to two two five two two two. Well, we know

39
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: that the race to replace Gavin Newsom as governor of

40
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: California is starting to heat up, and so is the fundraising.

41
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: There is so much money being spent. As we now

42
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: get at a crunch time, we're just over two months

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: away from the primary, which means we're just over a

44
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: month away from the ballots go into your mailbox, which

45
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: means that you're going to see more Tom Steyer ads

46
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: than you ever thought possible.

47
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: I think I now officially see Tom Steyer on TV

48
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: trying to sell me something more than I did in

49
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties.

50
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: From Ron pol Peel.

51
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: For more on the money that is being spent and

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: raised in the governor's race, here's a report from KPIX

53
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: in the Bay.

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 4: We're getting a better idea where all the money is

55
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 4: going in the race for governor. We're a little over

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 4: two months out from the primary election where these eight

57
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 4: Democrats and two Republicans will ask for your vote to

58
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 4: become the next governor. It's a race that's well still

59
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: wide open with no clear front runner.

60
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: If you're a Tony Thurmand or a Betty Ye and

61
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: you've been in this race for two years and you

62
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: have raised a little bit of money over those two years,

63
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: when do you start spending.

64
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: Well, they're all waiting to start spending at the very end.

65
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: And it's not just the money that they've raised for

66
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: this particular race too. Many of these candidates have run

67
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: statewide a number of times. And if you have a

68
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: safe seat, let's say you're the controller or the attorney general, whatever,

69
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: you don't have to spend all of your money on reelection,

70
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: So you can save it, you can invest it and

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: you can spend the money that you raised in previous cycles,

72
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: and then if you were good in the stock market,

73
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: you can take those profits and you can spend them

74
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: in this campaign too.

75
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: Or you could do a Bob Bonta and use your

76
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: campaign money to hire attorneys to defend you from the FBI.

77
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: Bob Bonta. Uh, that's what Eric Swallwell did.

78
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: Our Lauren Thoms is following the money trail and how

79
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: it could impact the outcome of this race.

80
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 5: As the race for California governor heats up, new numbers

81
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 5: from the California Secretary of State are giving a better

82
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 5: idea of where the money's flowing.

83
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 6: As we enter the month of April, that's when candidates

84
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 6: start turning to their ground campaign, their voter id operation,

85
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 6: where they.

86
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: Oh, gosh, how many people are going to be knocking

87
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: on my door next month.

88
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: You got to get a gate around your house.

89
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 6: Where they start identifying who their voters are.

90
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 5: At the top of the field when it comes to fundraising,

91
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 5: sits billionaire Tom Steiner.

92
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: That doesn't count. He gave himself all that money. How

93
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: much money is he in on this yet? Some say

94
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: it's in the sixty millions. Some say that we're getting

95
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 2: close to the triple digits millions.

96
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: Imagine being married to him and thinking to yourself, you know,

97
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: if he had a hobby like bird watching, we would

98
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: save so much money.

99
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 2: I'm telling you his campaign is doing more for the

100
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 2: billionaire's tax than anything else.

101
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: Did you see, by the way, that there is a

102
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: poll that's going around right now where the SEIU is

103
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: now pulling whether or not they can pull the same

104
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: stunt on people who are worth ten million dollars or more,

105
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: not just the billionaires, but people who are worth ten

106
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: million or more.

107
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: Well, of course, and then it's going to be the

108
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: people worth seven figures, then six figures, and then they're

109
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: coming for you, the people that make five figures.

110
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: I love the fact that they initially started out denying

111
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: all of that, and now that it looks like their

112
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: initiative is going to pass, they're going back to the

113
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: well immediately.

114
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: Well, that's how public sector unions operate. I don't know

115
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 2: why anybody surprised.

116
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 5: At the top of the field when it comes to fundraising.

117
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 5: Since billionaire Tom Steiner, he's largely self fund at his

118
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 5: campaign with more than one.

119
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: I got to know who in their right mind gives

120
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 2: a billionaire money to run for something, probably people who

121
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 2: need something from him.

122
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: We're a big ass crisis, I've heard.

123
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 5: With more than one hundred million dollars raised so far,

124
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 5: that's nearly ten times the amount raised by his next

125
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 5: closest competitor, San Jose Mayor Matt Mayhon follows, raising more

126
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 5: than eleven million dollars so.

127
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: Far, and the may Hen spending spree has begun. I

128
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: have KTLA on here in the background in case there's

129
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 2: any breaking news or a high speed chase, and every

130
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: break it's either stire or mayheen or Mayhen then Styre.

131
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 2: It's over and over and over again. But we have

132
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: not seen any bump in Mayhen's palling since he started

133
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: spending money.

134
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: No, And boy did that go off like a lead balloon.

135
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: And now you can tell he's starting to recalibrate where

136
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: his advisors are telling him that he's too popular with

137
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: republic plans and not popular enough with Democrats.

138
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: So now he stepped up his attacks.

139
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: On Donald Trump, and now he's talking about all the

140
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: things he's going to do for illegal aliens if he's elected.

141
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: It's just not going to work for him.

142
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: Right now, he's taking the worst possible advice that a

143
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 1: candidate could take, the same way that Rick Caruso did

144
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: when he ran for mayor. And the moment you come

145
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: across as inauthentic is the moment you're done. And I

146
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: think he's starting to cross that line.

147
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: You know what's interesting about that is you think about

148
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: who Mayheen's biggest supporter is, and that would be Rick Caruso,

149
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: quite frankly, who was mulling about running himself for a

150
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: really long time. Is it possible that Rick gave his

151
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: terrible consultants to Mayhean.

152
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,679
Speaker 1: It is quite possible, because they're both making the same mistake,

153
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: and they're both making the same mistake and approximately the same.

154
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: Time in the campaign.

155
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: And it's just beyond my ability to comprehend that they

156
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: can't look at what happened at Rick to Rick Caruso

157
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: and say, let's not repeat those same mistakes.

158
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: They're making the sequel right now with.

159
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 5: Just over five hundred contributors, largely tech CEOs and Silicon

160
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 5: Valley billionaires. Meanwhile, Katie Porter is taking a grassroots approach.

161
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 5: The former congresswoman has raised nearly six million dollars.

162
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: Look at you, Katie who's given her money. People that

163
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: watch cable news. Maybe she's raising a whole bunch of

164
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: money when she does those instant lives.

165
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 7: Sorry for the noise on cutting carrots.

166
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: Okay, let's just say that she's hit some steakhouse with

167
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys and suits.

168
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: Oh no, and she's raising money.

169
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: Do you think she goes into that room with a

170
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: little girl voice or do you think she goes into

171
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: that room with a sharp knife in her hand and

172
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: she's just kind of rubbing it against the other hand,

173
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: and she said, all right, now it's time to go

174
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: around the room and find out how much each of

175
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: you is in for.

176
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 5: He Meanwhile, Katie Porter is taking a grassroots approach the former.

177
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: She did a whole video unlike how much the average

178
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: donation is for the other candidates in the race, And

179
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: she was so proud that hers is like fifty bucks.

180
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's little old widows watching Rachel Maddow getting

181
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: gimmed up at midnight.

182
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 5: The former congresswoman has raised nearly six million dollars from

183
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 5: forty eight thousand individual donors, while Republican candidates Chad Bianco

184
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 5: and Steve Hilton have raised between four and seven million

185
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 5: dollars from a mix of small donors, party support and

186
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 5: large contributors.

187
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 6: You're going to need a lot more money, not just

188
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 6: to break through the Mayhem Independent expenditure ad or not

189
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 6: just to break through every channel with Tom Steyer on it,

190
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 6: but what to do relative to who's perceived to have

191
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 6: big MO, who's perceived to have momentum?

192
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: Right, No, by.

193
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: Not at this point, to have big MO, who's perceived

194
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: I've never heard momentum described as big MO, and I'm

195
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: not going to ever use it.

196
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: Well, that was George hw Bush, I think in nineteen

197
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: eighty eight who came up with that phrase.

198
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 6: To have big mo, who's perceived to have momentum? And

199
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 6: right now for Democrats, Swallwell has that momentum.

200
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 5: Campaigns are now spending heavily to build that momentum. Matt

201
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 5: Mahon's campaign is pouring money into southern California, hoping to

202
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 5: boost name recognition in the state's largest media market.

203
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 3: You know, would be a great way to do that

204
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: go on local radio in LA.

205
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: It's so weird because he's the guy who's talking about

206
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: local issues, He's the guy who's talking about California issues,

207
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: and instead of doing the local shows.

208
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 2: He flew to New.

209
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: York and he did Morning Joe, and he's doing the

210
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: podcasts and he did Jake Tapper, and he's fallen into

211
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: that trap.

212
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: And we're not even trying to make this about us.

213
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 2: You know, you want to go reach people, go on

214
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: with John Coebalt, go on, Oh, there's so many shows

215
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: to go on, go on local TV.

216
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: But he's not doing it. No, no, he's not.

217
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: And it's almost as if it's almost as if I'm

218
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: telling you, I think you're onto something with this Rick

219
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: Caruso thing, because this is Rick Caruso two point zero.

220
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: Well, there are rumors started by me that the whole

221
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 2: reason that debate blew up is because a big donor

222
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: to USC, quite frankly stronger on them into making sure

223
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: Mayhen made the debate.

224
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: But at this point they're spending a ton of money.

225
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: It's not like they're just sitting around drinking scotch spitballing ideas.

226
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: Why are you going to burn this amount of money

227
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: on something you now know will not work well?

228
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: And I think we've seen in the last few cycles

229
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: you can do all that you want unpaid media. It's

230
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: earned media that really gets people paying attention to you.

231
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 2: And that's why you've got to be doing as many

232
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: shows as possible and getting your message out there. And

233
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 2: not talking to any of the local outlets in Southern

234
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: California when Southern California is trying to get to know you,

235
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 2: seems like a big mistake.

236
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: Well, look at Via Regosa. He was at something like

237
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: two percent in one of the poll a few weeks ago,

238
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: and the most recent poll that I've seen had him

239
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: at seven percent. He's the one who's everywhere right now.

240
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 5: Him and Hilton USC professor Christian Growth says the effort

241
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 5: is clear, but the payoff may be limited.

242
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 8: I mean, Memahn's ads are all over cable.

243
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: They're well and by the way to your point of,

244
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: you know, making sure you do local. There's that whole

245
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 2: hub up going on right now with Bianco and the

246
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: ballots that he seized in Riverside, and he kept getting

247
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: reached out to by CBS to talk about this, CBSLA,

248
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: biggest station in the market. He says no, and he

249
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: goes on Mike Lindell TV instead to make his case.

250
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: I do not understand this. How many people could be

251
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: watching Mike Lindell TV.

252
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: Zero.

253
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: Okay, Mayheon goes on Morning Joe that comes on at

254
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: three o'clock in the morning California time. How many people

255
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: could possibly be watching MSNBC at three o'clock in the morning.

256
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, if this radio thing ever

257
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: doesn't work out, we can make a ton of money

258
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: being bad consultants. Oh my god, I.

259
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 8: Mean Metmahn's ads are all over cable, they're all over

260
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 8: social media, they're all over streaming. He does have some

261
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 8: support in the Bay Area, but once you get outside

262
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 8: of the Bay Area, he's basically an unknown and nobody's

263
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 8: really been supporting him.

264
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 3: You know what his mistake was.

265
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 2: He should have done what Katie Porter did and he

266
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: should have put on the gas mask when he visited

267
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: the Tijuana River Valley. He can not.

268
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 3: Right here, it's a write a passage.

269
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 5: How the money is raised can shape the race just

270
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 5: as much as how it's spent. As labor groups have

271
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 5: largely back to Eric Swalwell, while police.

272
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: Here, including the teachers. Yeah that's brand new.

273
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: Get that money, which somebody emailed us what that situation

274
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: was like, and it's actually a lot more complicated where

275
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: they could because like a lot of these union groups,

276
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,239
Speaker 2: you need to get sixty percent support to get the endorsement.

277
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: And they had to ask that question about five or

278
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: six times, and they were going back and forth between

279
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: Swallwell and Styre, and finally at the very end they said,

280
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: screw it, We'll make it Swallwell. But it came that

281
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: close to being Styre.

282
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 5: As labor groups have largely back to Eric Swalwell, while

283
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 5: police unions are turning to Republican candidate Chad Bianco. Jeremy

284
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 5: Mack has been tracking the flow of money through Project Phoenix.

285
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 9: You know, when you're throwing one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand,

286
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 9: up to two million dollars, it's not just silly because

287
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 9: they care about the candidate or they like what they

288
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 9: stand for.

289
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 3: No, you're buying their position.

290
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: What's wild to me is that they aren't on the

291
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: same page. I know the two biggies, the SEIU and

292
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: the California Teachers Association, are behind Swallwell, but there are

293
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: significant unions that are behind other candidates. Via Regosa has

294
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: a bunch, Bianco has a bunch, Porter has a bunch,

295
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: Besarah has a bunch.

296
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: I think Betty Gee has some. It's all over the

297
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: board well, and then you look at what Lorna Gonzales

298
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: did with the California Federation of Labor. They endorsed four candidates.

299
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: I think what's going on is they're hedging their bets.

300
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: They honestly don't seem to know who it's going to be,

301
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: and they don't want to be on the outside looking in.

302
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: Did you see that Fiona ma who's running for lieutenant governor,

303
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: is refusing to endorse any candidates at all in the

304
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: race because she said, as lieutenant governor, if I win,

305
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to work with any of them, and

306
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to poison the well right now.

307
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 9: Smart But because they see a benefit to them coming

308
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 9: through this individual getting into office.

309
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 5: And while money may by exposure, McEwan says, it can't

310
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 5: buy a spot on the November ballot.

311
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 6: And as we move closer and closer to absentees coming

312
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 6: out twenty nine days before the election, that push pushes

313
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 6: further and further. Candidates are in the single digits to

314
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 6: consider their options, where they advertise and what that money

315
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 6: gives them the best bang for the buck.

316
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: So there you go.

317

318
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: where all the money is being raised and where all

319
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: the money is being spent. Let's go to Tom and

Speaker 10: to tell you about Maham and I know you know this,

328
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 10: but I just want to remind all the listeners if

329
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 10: this guy's so fos, he's only focused on why he

330
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 10: became mayor and s so he can move on to

331
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 10: what he's doing now. He just wants to continue to

332
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 10: move on in politics. There's nothing wrong with that. But

333
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 10: if you show people that you're the type of person

334
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 10: who's a doer, I'm going to get things done. I'm

335
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 10: going to be the mayor of Santa Zai. I want

336
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 10: to clean this city up. I'm going to do what

342
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 10: he's done nothing here, He's done nothing. It's just another

343
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 10: stepping stone. I literally live across the street from a

344
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 10: man whose car was just attempted to be robbed for

345
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 10: the fourth time in one month. And oh my god,

00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:58,439

00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 2: right here is obviously going to be drop of the year.

358
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: That will be two years in a row for Katie

359
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 2: out of my shot. If she wins next year, it

360
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: would be called the dynasty. Well, pat Riley would call

361
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: it the three peat.

362
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: Now I know.

363
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 2: That everyone's pretty sure that Katie Porter at the Tijuana

364
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: River will be drop of the year.

365
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 3: You can have small right here, but the year is

366
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: still young. There are so many contenders.

367
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 2: The Katie Porter dropped that won last year out of

368
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 2: my job that didn't even get into our world until September,

369
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 2: so there's plenty of time for other people to emerge,

370
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: or for other Katie Porter drops to emerge. So don't

371
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 2: be so sure that you can smell it right here

372
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 2: is going to be the drop of the year, although

373
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: it probably will be. Well, just think about this. The

374
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: ballots go out in what early May? They go out

375
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: in early.

376
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 7: Nine.

377
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: That's right around the time that Tom Steyer is going

378
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: to be dropping all of his oppo research on her.

379
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,000

Speaker 2: Live Nation. Good luck dialing if.

407
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: Haven't seen Weezer in person before they put on a

408
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: Grit eight concert. I've seen them once before in Chicago.

409
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: The one thing I will say is the venue they

410
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: were playing in Chicago didn't have any seats. So I

411
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: walk into the concert hall and I'm looking around. I'm

412
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: really excited to see Weezer, and then I go, Okay,

413
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: where's my chair? And they go there is no chair.

414
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: Everyone's supposed to stand up throughout the entire concert.

415
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 3: That's a young man's game.

416
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: It seems like bait and switched to me personally eight

417
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: hundred two two two five two two two. He is

418
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: a telephone number. Eric Swalwell, as we mentioned, just received

419
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: the endorsement of the California Teachers Association. The Democratic Party

420
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: is looking to coalesce behind one candidate so they don't

421
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: get locked off the November ballot. Locked out of the

422
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: November ballot, I should say. And right now, Eric Swalwell

423
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: had a gift fall into his lap up and that

424
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: is heat between himself and the FBI director Cash Pattel.

425
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: That whole Fang Fang controversy is getting stirred up again,

426
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 2: and political analysts believe that it will only help the

427
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 2: Swallwell campaign.

428
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 3: For more. Here is ABC seven in the Bay.

429
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 12: ABC News is learning that the FBI is getting ready

430
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 12: to release old case files that could taint the campaign

431
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 12: of one of the leading candidates for a California governor.

432
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: Or give him a big boost.

433
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 2: This is where Republicans have to understand. You don't think

434
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: like Democrats. If he's nailing Chinese spies, democratic voters do

435
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: not care. It makes him unpopular.

436
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: With Republican circles because they don't want the Chinese government

437
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: to have access to sensitive information. But Democratic voters, particularly

438
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: when they're voting for someone for a state office, could

439
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: ear less.

440
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: All you're gonna do is you're gonna make it seem

441
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: like he's the Democrat that the Trump administration doesn't one in. Now,

442
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: this case involves, in effect, it's the cash Betel FBI

443
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: that has figured out a way to nationalize this state election.

444
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: So good, right, because think about it, the Trump administration

445
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: doesn't like Eric Swalwell. But it's not like they like

446
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: Katie Porter any better. It's not like like Tom Steyer

447
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: any better. They hate all three of them. But what

448
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: each of those three is looking for is they're looking

449
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: for a way to frame this race is them versus

450
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and everyone else's background noise.

451
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 13: Now, this case involves a decades old investigation into a

452
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 13: suspected Chinese spy ring with ties to Congressman Eric.

453
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 12: Swalwell eighties and seven ie when this news political reporter

454
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 12: Monica Madden is here now to explain why some people

455
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 12: are questioning the timing of this release.

456
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's chat.

457
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: It is interesting that you know, we heard about the

458
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 2: Swallwell thing a long time ago, but we also know

459
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: that this isn't a one off because we know about

460
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 2: the mayor of Arcadia and her fiance that was a

461
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: Chinese spy.

462
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 3: Oh my, and he was also her campaign manager.

463
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's Kristen Larry. Keep in mind that Congressman Eric

464
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 14: Swalwell is a longtime foe of President Donald Trump. So

465
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 14: Swallwell says this is why he believes that the case

466
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 14: is resurfacing now with his candidacy for California governor. Front

467
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 14: and center. Congressman Eric Swallwell slamming the Trump administration Monday

468
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 14: amid reports the FBI is resurfacing a closed counterintelligence probe

469
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 14: into him.

470
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: We are here.

471
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 15: Today because of absolute nonsense.

472
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: The thing about this guy is, this guy is super reckless.

473
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: So I can only imagine what Tom Steyer and even

474
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: Katie Porter. And we know that via Gosa has stuff

475
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: on him, by the way, because if you go back

476
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: to that initial toy from the Democratic strategist who talked

477
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: about the alleged problems that he has by he, I

478
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: mean Swallwell with women who work in his office and interns.

479
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: That consultant was affiliated with the via Goosa campaign. If

480
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: you are the Republicans, you're afraid of two things. You

481
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: are afraid of the Democrats all getting behind one candidate,

482
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: and it looks like that's a possibility with Swallwell. But

483
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: you're also worried about wanting one of those candidates collapsing,

484
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: because if Swalwell peaks too soon and then suddenly they

485
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: come out with all this damning information about him that

486
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: the allegations say they're sitting on, then his support is

487
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: going to collapse. And if one of the top three

488
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: sees a complete collapse, that will theoretically benefit one of

489
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: the other two.

490
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: Now, if it's the via Gosa campaign that releases that,

491
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 2: how do they frame that Swalall has affairs with spies?

492
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 2: Tony only has affairs with reporters.

493
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 14: The records relate to a decade old investigation into a

494
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 14: suspected Chinese spy who previously volunteered for Swalwell's twenty fourteen

495
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 14: reelection campaign. Swalwell was cleared of wrongdoing and House Republicans

496
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 14: closed in ethics probe in twenty twenty three.

497
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 3: This case is so, then why are we bringing this

498
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 3: up again?

499
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's a pattern of behavior, is what

500
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: they're going to allege, because, like I said, I don't

501
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: think Democratic voters care about him sleeping with the Chinese spy.

502
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: But if he's promoting people in his office who he's

503
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: had relationships with or in turns or whatever, there are

504
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 1: a lot of feminists who might have a problem with that.

505
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 15: This case is closed, but this effort to weaponize the

506
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 15: FBI against the president's political enemy at a time that

507
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 15: we are at war shows a distraction.

508
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: Swalwell did not directly someone got some free yesterday thanks

509
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 2: to the FBI.

510
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: It's funny you look at his ads, you look at

511
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: what he's putting out there. He doesn't even bother to

512
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: mention anything California related. It's all him and Trump.

513
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 14: Swallwell did not directly mention the allegations to reporters in

514
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 14: San Francisco on Monday, but stressed the political implications.

515
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 15: Trump and Patel are trying to interfere in the California election.

516
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 15: That's why they're targeting me. I'm the only name in

517
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 15: the race that they know, the only one that they're

518
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 15: threatened by.

519
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: That shows how low the name idea is for most

520
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 2: of these candidates. Well, I beg to differ because I

521
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: don't think you can be living and breathing in California

522
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: and not be aware of who Tom Steyer is, the

523
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 2: only one.

524
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 15: That they're threatened by.

525
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 14: How's judiciary?

526
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 3: Now, what does that mean? DC knows who Tom Styer is?

527
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. Well, I guess he's not buying TV

528
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: in Washington.

529
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 15: The only one that they're threatened by.

530
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 14: Hou's judiciary. Democrats coming to his defense, with ranking Member

531
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 14: Jamie Raskin writing quote, this is plain weaponization of the

532
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 14: FBI for partisan political per versus.

533
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: Hey, there's some alliteration for you, Mark Brown.

534
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 11: The irony is that this will probably help him more

535
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 11: than hurt him with the voters that matter in the

536
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 11: upcoming primary.

537
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: A vocal Trump critics, you could do a pall of

538
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 2: does it matter to you? Which candidate Trump hates the most.

539
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: I can't imagine Trump having any love for Katie Porter.

540
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 14: You can smell it right here, a vocal Trump critics.

541
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 14: Swallell is a leading candidate in the California Democratic primary

542
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 14: for governor, which ABC seven News insider filmat Here says

543
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 14: might be advantageous for Eric Swollwell.

544
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 11: Having a Trump attack like this is actually balafides that

545
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 11: he is a legitimate warrior, that he is really battling,

546
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 11: that the Trump administration fears him. It's a one upsman

547
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 11: shit at.

548
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 2: This race is no longer about California, is it? Oh,

549
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: it hasn't been for quite some time. On the Republican side,

550
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: the two of them are talking about Californi and the issues.

551
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: On the Democratic side, it was Mayhan and via Regosa,

552
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: and Mayhan is starting to move away from that, and

553
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: via Regosa, I guess, is the last man standing.

554
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 11: And that's why he's touting the fact rather than getting

555
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 11: into the details of what might be in the investigation,

556
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 11: but saying that the investigation is in fact the story itself.

557
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 14: It's not the first time the Trump administration has gone

558
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 14: after the congressman who led Trump's first impeachment and Mattiir

559
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 14: says it likely won't be the last.

560
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 11: We're going to be entering that second part of the

561
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 11: race where we've done the niceties, we've set our policy papers.

562
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 11: Now it's time to get personal, and that usually means Mudglinging.

563
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: Is going to be an ugly April as soon as

564
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 2: Easter ends. The gloves are coming off well.

565
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: As we've said before, a lot of these candidates are

566
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: waiting until the last minute to start spending their money

567
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: and dumping whatever oppo research they have. This right now

568
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: is the calm before the storm.

569
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 14: And sources are telling ABC News is that the agents

570
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 14: have been working this weekend through the potential release, but

571
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 14: there's been no timeline on when these documents might become public.

572
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 14: And keep in mind that move would break DJ's long

573
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 14: standing tradition of not releasing any records in an investigation

574
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 14: if there were no charges pressed. So we'll have to

575
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 14: see what happens next.

576
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 13: I know Phil mentioned it is there any chance this

577
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 13: could work in Swalwell's behavior, because now he's saying I'm

578
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 13: the target. I'm clearly the one that they're afraid of.

579
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 14: That was exactly what Phil's analysis was pointing out that

580
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 14: you know, right now it is popular. Look at amongst Democrats,

581
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 14: look at Governor Gavin Newsom to have this adversarial relationship

582
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 14: with Trump. So this gives Congressman Swallow the opportunity to say, look,

583
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 14: he's coming after me, he's afraid of me, this is

584
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 14: a problem. I'm going to fight him at a.

585
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: Time when this is how you become the front runner

586
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: in California.

587
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, But I would add this in the case

588
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: of Swalwell, whatever dirt is out there, whatever transgressions he committed,

589
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: it is unlikely that the Republicans would be the ones

590
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: to be aware of it. It's the Democrats who are

591
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: going to be aware of it. Because what happens is

592
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: these people work for a politician, and then they go

593
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: and they work for a different politician, and then they

594
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: go and work for a campaign, and then they go

595
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: and they work for a party or an independent expenditure group.

596
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: And they all talk to one another. So there are

597
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: few secrets in that world. They don't tell the other side,

598
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: but they tell each other. And if you work for

599
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: someone like Swallwell and you had a bad experience or

600
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 1: you observed an ethical behavior going on, you're not going

601
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: to tell the Speaker of the House. You're not going

602
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: to tell Mike Johnson. You're going to tell people that

603
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: you work with in whatever office you end up in next.

604
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: And so what happens is within democratic circles the transgressions

605
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: of Democratic officeholders. That knowledge is common knowledge, and the

606
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: ones who accumulate the most knowledge are the ones that

607
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: have been around the longest, who are the most likable.

608
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: So I would imagine that people who are not pulling

609
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: very well, people like Betty E, Tony Thurman, Javier Bsera,

610
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: Antonio via Ragosa, they're the ones that are sitting on

611
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: this information. Katie Porter was not well liked, so she's

612
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: probably not in the loop. And Tom Steyer was never

613
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: an elected office, so he's probably out of the loop.

614
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: So I would imagine that the biggest threats right now

615
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: to Eric Swalwell are those Democrats who are pulling at

616
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: the bottom, because they're the ones that have the information

617
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: that can cause his campaign to collapse.

618
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 2: And I think that that's also part.

619
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: Of the calculus as to why the Democratic Party is

620
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: going to push them out or wants to push them out,

621
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: because if you push them out before they go nuclear

622
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: on Eric Swalwell, then you can preserve the one candidate

623
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: that you can all get behind. If they go nuclear

624
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: on Eric Swalwell, they're going to knock him out and

625
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,479
Speaker 1: you're going to lose control over who your candidate is,

626
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: or you might not find real estate on the November

627
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: ballot at all.

628
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 12: At a time when Tom Steyer has been rising in

629
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 12: the polls and the two are really going at each.

630
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 14: Other right on the Democratic side, Timing is everything in politics.

632
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 3: So there you go.

00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 2: The latest on Eric Swallwell getting national attention thanks to

Speaker 1: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is

636
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: a telephone number. And surprise, surprise, we've found more corruption

637
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: in California.

638
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 2: This time it's in San Francisco. The San Francisco DA's

640
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,600

Speaker 2: we go to Koran form up.

642
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: Let me turn off the music. Now we got a

643
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 3: Koran four.

644
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 16: The former head of San Francisco's Human Rights Commission has been.

645
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: Charge was first off, why is that a department? And

646
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: how much do we waste on it?

647
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 10: Yeah?

648
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,760

Speaker 16: Has been charged with seventeen felonies alleging financial misconduct and

650
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 16: the way she used and distributed city funds while on

651
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 16: the job.

652
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 17: Godforest dan Kerman reports after being tipped by a whistleblower

653
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,120

00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 17: former executive director of San Francisco's Human Rights Commission, alleging

656
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,600

658
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 18: in San Francisco's black community.

659
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 2: Are there any nonprofits that are legit in San Francisco?

660
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 2: How is that even legal?

661
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 19: We have to hold government actors accountable, certainly when they

662
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 19: are abusing the trust of San Franciscans, when they are

663
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 19: abusing taxpayer dollars and in this case, using funds that

664
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 19: were supposed to be targeted and given to the black

665
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 19: community to actually engage in a reinvestment, in an uplifting

666
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 19: of community, to help children, and that money was lost

667
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 19: from the community.

668
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 18: James Spingola, the former executive director of the nonprofit Collective Impact,

669
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 18: which Davis used to run, was also charged before felonies.

670
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm shocked by the way.

671
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: If anyone ever decides to actually follow through with reparations,

672
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: this is exactly what's going to happen. A handful of

673
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: criminals are going to take it all.

674
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 18: Prosecutors allege in addition to misappropriating funds, Davis had numerous

675
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 18: conflicts of interest.

676
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 19: We did find that a portion of this money was

677
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 19: spent in a manner that was self dealing and was

678
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 19: for her benefit and the benefit of her brand, ultimately

679
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 19: her finances, and paid for things that it was not

680
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 19: intended to be used for the charge.

681
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: This is what happens over and over and over again,

682
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 2: whether it's in the Bay Area or southern California. We

683
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: give all of this money out to help let's say,

684
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: the homeless, are the underprivileged, and it goes straight into

685
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: the pockets of the people administering it. And mind you, at.

686
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: The same time, police departments and fire departments don't have

687
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: the resources they need to keep us safe.

688
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 7: The charges are a distortion of the truth. What they

689
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 7: do is they make it look like doctor Davis.

690
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 3: Oh no, is she a doctor.

691
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 2: You notice they all have Doctorid's.

692
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 7: Was misappropriating funds for her own benefit.

693
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 3: Davis's attorney.

694
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what the charges show from the DA,

695
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: and that DA make sure to cross the t's and

696
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 2: dot the ice.

697
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 18: JA Davis's attorney, Tony Brass says what actually happened was

698
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 18: the city hired Davis, gave her no training in government

699
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 18: worker managing city money, and now is blaming her.

700
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 3: That's a defense, So we have to train you not

701
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 3: to steal.

702
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 7: Sure, it yields an imperfect result, but that's what it is.

703
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 7: It's not felonious conduct.

704
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 18: The DA says the investigation is far from over. That

705
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 18: could mean more charges for these two or additional arrests

706
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 18: at the DA's office in San Francisco. Dan Kerman Crown

707
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 18: for News.

708
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 2: There you go, yet another person in San Francisco charged

709
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 2: with wasting your money by giving it to themselves. And

710
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: if you couldn't see this coming, you need to go

711
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 2: to Lens Crafters
