20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: Well.

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: You can file this next one under the category Bob

22
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: Bonta strikes again Bob Bonta.

23
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: How dare he Bob Bonta? Bob Bonta, who is the

24
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: attorney General. Some know him as Rob Bonta and some

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: know him as the King of all cliches.

26
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: Every type of leadership is about meeting the moment and

27
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: rising to the occasion, and this is what's required, and

28
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: so we're stepping up and getting it done.

29
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: Bob Bonta is not only the top law enforcement official

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: in the state of California, he is a very specific

31
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: role when it comes to California elections through our direct

32
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: democracy system. If an initiative gets enough signatures to make

33
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: the ballot, it's the Attorney's generals off that gets to

34
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: decide how the title is worded when it makes the ballot.

35
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: And this is where the Attorney General can really have

36
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: a little fun and make things a little misleading, like

37
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: when Kamala Harris was the Attorney General in twenty fourteen

38
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: for Prop forty seven, because most of the people voting

39
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: for Prop forty seven did not realize that it meant

40
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: decriminalizing almost every aspect of crime, including shoplifting.

41
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: So think about it like this, if you're a Bob

42
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: Bonta and you do not support an initiative, but you're

43
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: given the ability to write the title and summary of

44
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 2: that initiative for voters that will appear on their ballots.

45
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: Think about all the mischief you can charge you can have.

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: It would be like if Pepsi was able to write

47
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: the description for coke in the supermarket and instead of

48
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: calling it coke, they call it cancer juice.

49
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: It'll make you fat.

50
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: Well, good luck move in that product, if that's what

51
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: you call it. If you have the ability to write

52
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: the title and summary of the product, you have the

53
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: ability to help it or kill it.

54
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: And Bob Bonta is trying to kill it. Bob Bonta.

55
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: Here's another example. Back in twenty eighteen, when the Attorney

56
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: General was this idiot scrub Itjavi or Basserra was tasked

57
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: with writing the title and description for the Repeal the

58
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: Gas Tax initiative, which you think would be pretty straightforward.

59
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: Repeal the gas tax that goes up every single year.

60
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: This is something we voted on in twenty eighteen, but

61
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: you might not know it because when it came to

62
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: vote on this in November, it was titled and I

63
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: remember this, the Defund Roads and Bridges Act, and what

64
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: do you know? The repeal of the gas tax did

65
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: not pass well. Bob Bonta. Bonta might be trying to

66
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: play the same game with Prop thirty nine, something that

67
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: you all may know as the voter ID initiative in

68
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: the state of California. To explain what exactly is going

69
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: on here, here's a quick video on Twitter from Assemblyman

70
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: David Togipa in the Central Valley.

71
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 4: This is the most blatant form of cheating and rigging

72
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 4: for the November election that we have ever seen. The

73
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: Attorney General Rob Bonta has now changed the language on

74
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,559
Speaker 4: our voter ID initiative, Prop thirty nine. It is going

75
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 4: from voter ID and citizenship verification constitutional amendment to now

76
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 4: say prohibits citizens from voting. This is insane.

77
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: And you know what's especially rich about this is that

78
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: Bob Bonta and company they consider themselves the defenders of democracy.

79
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: Thatocracy will go away unless you will let people like him.

80
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: And you look at what he's doing here, and he's

81
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: trying to circumvent the democratic process. He's trying to make

82
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: it purposely misleading. This is like in the old days

83
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: when you'd have to take some sort of literacy test

84
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: before you'd vote. The point was not to make sure

85
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: that you know how to read and write. The point

86
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: was to exclude blacks from voting. Well, the objective that

87
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: Bob Bonta has here is not to fully explain what

88
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: the initiative is. The objective is to trick you into

89
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 2: voting against your own interests.

90
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: Listener Nathan and Sokel writes in you need to use

91
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: AI to put Bonta in a superhero costume and call

92
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: him Captain Cliche. Might have to work on that tomorrow.

93
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 4: The highest law enforcement officer is now actively rigging the

94
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 4: election in the middle of the election season. We've had

95
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 4: this language approved for over a year, and just this

96
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 4: week he has changed it. But I have no high hope.

97
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: What are they gonna call the Save Prop thirteen Act? Oh?

98
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: Could you imagine?

99
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 4: Oops for the guy who hangs out with the corrupt?

100
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: Hey, look who's there? Shanghy Shanky got a little shout

101
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: out in the video from David TOANGI.

102
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 5: Pop absolutely absolutely, How do you.

103
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: Feel about that, Shangy?

104
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 6: That's right?

105
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: I like that.

106
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 7: That was amazing.

107
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: Also, and this isn't really that important, but just based

108
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: on that picture alone, Bob bant is one of those

109
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,119
Speaker 1: guys where when he puts on glasses he ages about

110
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: seventy years.

111
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks like he's about ninety four there, And

112
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: why did his hair get so white all of a sudden.

113
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 4: Mayor from Oakland. And if it doesn't prove how corrupt

114
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 4: to the c.

115
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if he hung out with her, but

116
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: they all hang out with the dong, so I guess

117
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: he hung out with her by association via a dong.

118
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: The dong is the lou that keeps that group together.

119
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: All right, we should stop while we're ahead.

120
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 4: Or California truly is from the governor's former chief of staff,

121
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 4: the former.

122
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: Hey Dana got a little shout out too. He's playing

123
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: all the classics.

124
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 4: Attorney general's former chief of staff convicted of corruption to

125
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: now the Attorney general meddling in the election. This proves

126
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: that you need to get involved if you want to

127
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 4: fight for California, if you want a future for California.

128
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 4: I need you to share this message. I need you

129
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 4: to tell everybody just how bad it is here. You

130
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 4: need to get involved with Prop thirty nine. We need

131
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 4: your support. We need so many people to show up

132
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 4: because they believe you're not paying attention and it is

133
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 4: so blatant in front of your face.

134
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: Well, it was just the World Cup. People had a

135
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on.

136
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 4: Help us join us in this fight, send us some message,

137
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: sign up, share it to as many people as you know,

138
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 4: and let us save California.

139
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: And Tangy Pot wasn't done there. This morning, he had

140
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: an appearance on our sister station KMJ and Fresno on

141
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: the Brasky and Mussan Show, and he said this and.

142
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 8: Now, which is what Rob Bonta sees, which is what

143
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 8: Governor Newsom sees, is they must change the rules of

144
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 8: the game in the middle of it in order to

145
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 8: maintain power. So they are cheating fair and square because

146
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 8: they have been empowered to do so. But it's what

147
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 8: a lot of people just haven't realized is really what

148
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 8: is going on. That's a big portion of what I'm

149
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 8: working on is exposure and really sunlight. Sunlight is the

150
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 8: best disinfectant. And I can tell you right now it

151
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 8: is a zombie horde in Sacramento of a mindset that

152
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 8: they just don't respect the voter, they don't respect the people,

153
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 8: and they think that they're just not paying attention.

154
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: Zombie horde, a more corruption from Sacramento, Part and parcel

155
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: what we talk about every day.

156
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: Randy I do have to warn you, Tongepa. The sunlight

157
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: is the best disinfectant. That's a cliche and we've heard

158
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: it enough times.

159
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: So you have Bonta trying to rig the initiative process

160
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: so that the voter ID initiative fails. At the same

161
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,119
Speaker 2: time that that is going on, Gavin Newsom is lawyering

162
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: up with a criminal defense attorney.

163
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom in the investigation into him and his wife

164
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: that he announced he's the one that brought this attention

165
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: to himself because while no one was paying attention to

166
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: Gavin for a while, he's now got a lawyer and

167
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: apparently it was the same lawyer that represented Hunter Biden.

168
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: Oh boy. For more on this, here is Casey ra

169
00:09:51,679 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: a III and Ashley's eballa. I can't hear it. You

170
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: can't hear it. No, you couldn't hear that. No, I

171
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: care right, Well, let's figure out why you can't hear it?

172
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: All right, give me a second here, let me play

173
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: the sound. Okay, let me restart this program real quick,

174
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: because I'm guessing what happened was because I played something

175
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: off of Twitter instead of off of very reliable YouTube.

176
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: We had a little issue. So I'm going to readd

177
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: the screen share. I have to talk out loud while

178
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: I'm doing this so I don't get confused. And now

179
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: we're going to scroll back down to the Ashley Zavalas

180
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: story and we're gonna hit play. There we go. Now

181
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: you can hear it. Look at that tech support and

182
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: co hosting a show in the same time, and I

183
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: didn't even have to call the Philippines.

184
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 9: Devin Newsome today confirming that he has hired a high

185
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 9: profile criminal defense attorney as a US Department of Justice

186
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 9: continues its investigation into him and his wife case.

187
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 10: R Ray Three political director Ashley Zavala spoke with a

188
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 10: governor about this today.

189
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 11: So Ashley, what is he saying about all of this?

190
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 10: Andrea, It's been more than a month since the governor

191
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 10: announced that the US Department of Justice was targeting him

192
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 10: and his wife.

193
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: I don't think they're doing this on purpose. But the

194
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: file photo they have of Gavin, he looked tired. It's

195
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: got the sleep beast.

196
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 10: Now, neither he nor Jennifer Ceebel Newsom have been subpoenaed yet,

197
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 10: but we now know who they've hired to defend them

198
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 10: if it comes to that. Their defense attorney is Abby Lowell,

199
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 10: the governor confirmed to me today. Loll is based in Washington,

200
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 10: d C. And has represented several political figures in high

201
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 10: profile cases, including recently Hunter Biden and New York Attorney

202
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 10: General Letitia James.

203
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: Okay, she's probably not cheap, Abby Lowell. Yeah, Abby Lowell's

204
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: a guy. Oh, he's not cheap. No, he's the old

205
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: man on the right.

206
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 12: Excuse me, as you've been reporting.

207
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: I was listening to this story this morning while walking

208
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: around Toronto. I didn't realize the guy I was staring

209
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: at in the two different pictures was the guy. Excuse me,

210
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: I misgendered Abby.

211
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: You never know he could change sexes and run for

212
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: the Senate in Maine, two sources.

213
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 10: As I've said, the US Department of Justice has been

214
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 10: investigating a governor's office staff and separately from that, Jennifer

215
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 10: ce Will Newsom's nonprofit organizations. Here's my exchange with the

216
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 10: governor today. Have you been contacted by investigators yet for

217
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 10: questioning you? Either you were the first partner.

218
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 9: Nope.

219
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: His hair got real white too. What's going on? It's

220
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: like they're really all stressed out about something.

221
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: It gets wider and bigger every time I see him.

222
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 7: No, subm Okay, thank you, it's inevitable.

223
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: Come on, who are dealing with again?

224
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: The investigation started under the Biden Department of Justice from

225
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,119
Speaker 2: a Califordia whistleblower out of a California office.

226
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 10: Now, we've actually been reaching out to Newsom's attorney, Abby

227
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 10: Lowle since July ninth for comment.

228
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: Who to reiterate, is a guy just wanting to make

229
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: sure we're all on the same page with that one.

230
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 10: We haven't heard back from him yet. The governor has

231
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 10: said he thinks this investigation is politically motivated by President

232
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 10: Donald Trump.

233
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 9: So we're claiming this started with the Biden administration. So

234
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 9: what do people saying that?

235
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's a comment that we see constantly. The US

236
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 10: Department of Justice, though, isn't commenting on any of this,

237
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 10: and we haven't heard any official or.

238
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: We wouldn't even know that this investigation was a thing

239
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: except for Gavin Blabbin about it.

240
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: Okay, if you haven't listened to the Accountability Podcast, you

241
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 2: have to listen to it tonight because we talk about

242
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: this very subject and we play the sound of the

243
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: first partner, Jennifer Siebel Newsom being asked that very question.

244
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: You say, this is a political witch hunt, but it's

245
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: starred in the Biden administration. What's your response to that?

246
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: And the needle went off the record. The answer is

247
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: they have no response to it. It blows up their

248
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: entire argument, but they're still sticking to it.

249
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 8: Accountability, Accountability, Accountability.

250
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 10: Person close to the investigation say that now the investigation

251
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 10: into Governor Newsom's ex chief of staff, Dana William said,

252
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 10: did start under the Biden administration, but Newsom has not

253
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 10: been implicated in the crimes that she's been facing. Jennifer

254
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 10: Siebel Newsom was asked on MS now last week if

255
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 10: it's true the investigation in her and to her and

256
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 10: the governor began with the Biden administration. She responded by

257
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 10: saying she didn't have any details. She noted that though

258
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 10: that he it.

259
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: Got real awkward, real quick.

260
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: Oh, you have to listen to this, and if you

261
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: go to the Accountability podcast on YouTube, you can not

262
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: only hear it, but you can see it.

263
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 10: Her husband has been a target of President Donald Trump. Again,

264
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 10: the officials really aren't commenting on any of this. We'll

265
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 10: see if the governor gets a poenaed.

266
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: So there you go. That's the latest on Gavin Newsome

267
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: lawyering up with a big name attorney that has represented

315
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: frustrated with all the corruption going on in the state

316
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: of California and Randy that has now led to a

317
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: fight over Medicaid funding, specifically medical programs related to home healthcare,

318
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: which Gavin Newsom says are very necessary, which the FEDS

319
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: are saying, we don't know if this is legit or not.

320
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: Let's find out what's going on here on the federal

321
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: medical freeze. Here is ABC ten in Sacramento.

322
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 11: We start tonight with the Trump administration who was once

323
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 11: again withholding funds from California. This time nearly a billion

324
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 11: dollars in federal Medicaid funding is being withheld over what

325
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 11: the Trumpet ministry.

326
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: That'll buy like three more missiles to shoot it.

327
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 11: Irantion says, is high risk of fraud, waste, and abuse.

328
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 11: I want to bring in ABC ten's Gwen is here

329
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 11: with us for what this means for the state and

330
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 11: also how of course Governor Gavin Newsom is responding to

331
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 11: this news alex.

332
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 12: California and Minnesota are the top two states impacted the

333
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 12: Trump administration says, the state's.

334
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 2: Well, wait a minute, that's where all the fraud is.

335
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: When all of this first broke, it was in Minnesota

336
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 2: with the somalis and the daycare centers and the schools

337
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: and all that business. And then we learned about all

338
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: the hospice facilities in the San Fernando Valley in one

339
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: building in California. And then when the various states reacted

340
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: to it, whether it was Tim Walls in Minnesota or

341
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom in California, the reaction was that they were

342
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 2: more upset at the people who were exposing the fraud

343
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: than at the people who were committing the fraud.

344
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: Fraud.

345
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 12: Meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom says, this is all political theater,

346
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 12: risking those most vulnerable in the state.

347
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: Now, please respect for aud you will not receive. Can

348
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: he get a spokesman? I can't listen to that voice.

349
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: Cheryl Hines, how do you do it?

350
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 13: Tax me?

351
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 2: When he was running for president and they kicked him

352
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 2: off Twitter, I wrote a column about it. In the

353
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: OC Register, and I think the editor took the line

354
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: out of the column I said after Twitter kicked them

355
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: off their platform. They're trying to take what's left of

356
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: his voice away from them.

357
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: John, I really shouldn't engage in this, but can you

358
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: explain to the listening audience that's not watching right now,

359
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: who's to the left to him? I have no clue.

360
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: Do you know who that is? I don't know, but

361
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: they kind of look like job of the HUT. I

362
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: don't know.

363
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: I've never seen that person before.

364
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: Till you prove that those payments are legitimate. California is

365
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: one picture of health RFK.

366
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 12: One of two states the Trump administration says is under

367
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 12: review for possible Medicaid fraud. Health and Human Services Secretary

368
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 12: Robert F. Kennedy Junior says the federal government is deferring

369
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 12: about eight hundred and sixty seven point five million dollars

370
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 12: in medicaid payments to California until the state.

371
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 2: I also want to add this, it's not directly related

372
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 2: to medicaid, but it is part of the overall conversation,

373
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: and that is when the state of California had what

374
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 2: twenty or thirty billion dollars stolen in edd fraud. We

375
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 2: have yet to pay the federal government back that money

376
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: that is owed to them.

377
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: Other states have. I think we're one of the only.

378
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 2: Ones that hasn't paid the bill back yet, and I

379
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 2: have think not. What Galvin Newsom was anticipating was that

380
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 2: Grampy Joe would be re elected and all the debt

381
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: would be forgiven. Well, Donald Trump got elected and the

382
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: debt is not forgiven, and we have yet to pay

383
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 2: back that bill.

384
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: It hangs over our head every single year, even as

385
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: the budget gets bigger. Even in those years where we

386
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: had a one hundred billion dollar surplus, we weren't even

387
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: trying to pay it back. So what happens is it

388
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: ends up becoming a fee that every employer in the

389
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: state of California has to pay to just deal with

390
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: the interest on that debt. So great job, gav Docum.

391
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: If I if you're the federal government, you've probably had

392
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: it up to your ears with fraud in California and

393
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: the fact that California's mess is now leading the federal

394
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: government to have to try to find ways to make

395
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 2: up for that money that they should have that they

396
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: don't haveation.

397
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 12: Showing the money was spent in compliance with federal requirements.

398
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 12: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator doctor mehmet Oz

399
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 12: says the review is focused on California's spending for its

400
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 12: in home supportive services program. During the past two fiscal.

401
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: Years, California's spending and these in home programs went up

402
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: twenty four percent. His hair got white too. What is

403
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: going on when you get into politics. I don't know.

404
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: It's a stressful job. Rest of the country's average is

405
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: about twelve percent. You think he misses when he was

406
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: just on TV doing poop diagrams for ladies in their

407
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: fiftiest Aid Better.

408
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 12: Attorney General Rob Bonta, along with fourteen other attorneys general,

409
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 12: sent this letter to the Trump administration arguing that withholding

410
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 12: this money would negatively impact those most vulnerable and smaller hospitals.

411
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 12: Bonta says medical the state's version of Medicaid covers more

412
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 12: than one third of the state's residents.

413
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: Democratic that is, it's a statement that needs to be reiterated.

414
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: The state of California, which likes to be touted by

415
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: people like Gavin Newsom and Bobert Bonta as the fourth

416
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: largest economy in the world, one third of its residents

417
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: are so impoverished they are on the public assistance medical program,

418
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: which by the way, is better insurance than anyone else

419
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: can get well. And think about this for a moment.

420
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 2: The position that Bob Bonta is taking is that if

421
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: you don't give us the money to pay the fraudsters,

422
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: we're not going to provide care for the people who

423
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,120
Speaker 2: actually need it to. It's like a hostage situation.

424
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 12: Congressman Amiberra is concerned about the impacts to hospitals statewide.

425
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,239
Speaker 5: It's going to affect all of our hospitals because when

426
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 5: people lose their coverage, it doesn't mean they're going to

427
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 5: stop having heart attacks or other healthcare conditions. They'll just

428
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 5: go to an emergency room, which means it's going to

429
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 5: impact our entire community because emergency rooms will backed up

430
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 5: the community. Clinics won't be able to see that.

431
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 2: Now, wait a minute, this is another lie that they

432
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: like to spread. Wasn't the whole point of Obamacare so

433
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: that people wouldn't do that that if you elect this

434
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: one or vote for this one bill, that your emergency

435
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: rooms will no longer be full. Well, have you talked

436
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: to anyone who's been to an emergency room recently. A

437
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: friend of mine not long ago had to go with

438
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 2: one hundred and four degree fever and he said that

439
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: this emergency room, which happened to be in Rancho Mirage, California,

440
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 2: which is one of the most affluent zip codes in

441
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 2: the entire state, at Eisenhower Hospital, very wealthy, very elderly population.

442
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 2: He said that the room was so packed there was

443
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: no place to sit down, and he was one of

444
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: two people who spoke English there and it took hours

445
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 2: to be seen.

446
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: Well, that's not surprising to anyone that watches the pit

447
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: reims for that care.

448
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 12: During a press conference on Tuesday, Governor Gavin Newsom accused

449
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 12: the Trump administration of political theater.

450
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: Though yesterday he was at this fire press conference. Today

451
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: he has fled the state, and so has the lieutenant governor,

452
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: and so as the state Senate pro tem. So Robert

453
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: Reeves is the de facto governor today. Good Lord, I

454
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: think that.

455
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,479
Speaker 12: The state had been actively working with the federal government

456
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 12: to produce the documentation that they were requesting.

457
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 6: We've been working with them in good faith. They have

458
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 6: issues with IHSS, and our issue was why not IHSS.

459
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: We believe in keeping in home health care services. Gavin

460
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: likes to use acronyms, so you just paying attention to

461
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: him because no one knows what he's talking about. I

462
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: know what he's talking about.

463
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 6: People at home. Dignity in place is a way of

464
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 6: not only helping community and families and seniors and those

465
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 6: with disabilities, but also to save the taxpayers money. We

466
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 6: have one of the lowest rates of growth in skilled

467
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 6: nursing facilities.

468
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 2: Okay, go back to the hospice care fraud in the

469
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 2: San Fernando Valley. After he trashed the people who broke

470
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 2: the story, what did Gavin Newsom say, Oh, yeah, we

471
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: were already on top of that. We knew about the fraud,

472
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: we're working on it. There's no evidence of that. There

473
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 2: was no documents or no evidence that they produced that

474
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: proved that what he claimed was true. But he said,

475
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 2: oh yeah, we were taking care of that. There was

476
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: no need for this report to come out at all,

477
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 2: which is a complete lie, a complete fabrication. There's no

478
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 2: truth to that at all. And you look look at

479
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: what he's saying here. He's acting as if, well, yeah,

480
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: you know, we're on top of all the frauds, So

481
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: if there was fraud, we would have found it by

482
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: now who believes that? And of course this goes back

483
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 2: to Gavin saying that we were working with them. Well,

484
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 2: what takes so long to provide the documentation? How long

485
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,239
Speaker 2: are you supposed to have before you look at the

486
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: lack of documentation we have with the homelessness gript where

487
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: we know something's going on here. Where you take organizations

488
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 2: like LASA, funded by the La County Board of Supervisors,

489
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 2: funded by the state of California, that can't tell you

490
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 2: where any of the money they spent went.

491
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: So how are we supposed to believe a damn thing?

492
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: They say?

493
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: And of course he would claim that he's watching every

494
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 2: dollar that he spends on homelessness like a hawk. Yet

495
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: we spend more money and more people are living on

496
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: the streets.

497
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: Hell.

498
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 2: Even the professional sports teams in Oakland are homeless.

499
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 12: A spokesperson with a California Department of Healthcare Services tells

500
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 12: US it's calling on CMS to stop threatening care for

501
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 12: the state's most vulnerable residents, adding that California's approach to

502
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 12: the in home care system has been long approved by

503
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 12: the federal government and saves state and federal taxpayers about

504
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 12: one hundred thousand dollars per person annually versus care at

505
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 12: a nursing facility Alex.

506
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: We got to be as transparent as possible with these

507
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: programs because these are very essential jobs. If we don't

508
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: have funding for in home healthcare services, it means you're

509
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: going to have to change your parents' diapers. I have

510
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: no problem paying for it if that's what the plan covers. However,

511
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to give it to the fraudsters. It

512
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: would be like saying, well, what you don't support hospice care. No,

513
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: I support hospice care, but I wanted to go to

514
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: actual hospice care and not people who are scamming the

515
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: government at Galvin Newsom doesn't seem to care that people

516
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: are scamming the government. We learn that through the EDD fraud.

517
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: So that's the latest that we have right now on

518
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: another fight between Californi and the federal government, this time

519
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: over medical fraud and medical paperwork related to in home

520
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: health care services.

524
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: from CBS News California Investigates joins us at the top

525
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: of the hour. Now, going back to Sacramento, California Governor

526
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom is digging in his heels in a battle

527
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: that he's involved with between him and state employees. State

528
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: employees want to continue to work from home, and Gavin

529
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 2: says empty storefronts in Sacramento are not good for my

530
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: presidential ambitions. It's time for you to come back to

531
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: the office so that the sandwich shops stay in business.

532
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: He literally cited the sandwich shop this time as he

533
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: digs in his heels even though there isn't enough office

534
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: space for all the people he wants to come back

535
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: and and this is true for the Department of Education.

536
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: They were forced to come back to a building infested

537
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: with bed bugs. That's so gross. For more, here is

538
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: ABC ten in Sacramento.

539
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 3: Well, it has been almost three weeks since the return

540
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 3: to office mandate took effect that the executive order requires

541
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 3: most state employees to work in person at the office

542
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: at least four days a week. ABC ten State Matters

543
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 3: political reporter Jenny huh is here now with an update.

544
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 13: Well, state employees continue to push back on the mandate

545
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 13: seeing their various departments and agencies, we're not and are

546
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 13: not ready to accommodate office space and parking needs. I

547
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 13: asked the governor about the lingering concerns and protests, and

548
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 13: he provided perhaps the most in depth answer yet. State

549
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 13: workers continued to protest every week. They say it's not

550
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 13: going well with parking department space. So what is their

551
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 13: action to Howie?

552
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: Boy? He does that grunt all the time.

553
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 2: It's so funny because as governor he very rarely crossed

554
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 2: the unions. Whenever the unions wanted something, the answer was

555
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 2: always yes. And now that the unions are becoming a

556
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: problem for him and his presidential ambitions, he's treating them

557
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: like they're an irritant.

558
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 13: It's going who is it benefiting? And also are you

559
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 13: burning bridges at labor?

560
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 7: Come on, I'm a little I don't know if it's

561
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 7: time of life or my state of mind.

562
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 2: Boy, he is a strange speaker. How many grunts did

563
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: we just hear out of his mouth?

564
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: Seven?

565
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 7: I'm deeply mindful of.

566
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: Oh we got one of those too.

567
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: Bingo boy, we're checking all the boxes, you.

568
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 7: Know, the way have a crisis a lot of crisis

569
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 7: in this country.

570
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 6: One of them is crisis the loneliness.

571
00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: Wait, he was just scratching himself. Did he get bed bugs? Wait?

572
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 2: He has turned this into some kind of Tony Robin

573
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 2: speech about loneliness.

574
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: Yes, which, by the way, a lot of these state

575
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: employees are going back into the office to go on

576
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: Zoom meetings. But in the office it's so stupid.

577
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 7: People not feeling connected, And I want people to come

578
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 7: back to work, re engage, rediscover, collaborate, coordinate, develop relationships, friendships,

579
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 7: fall in love.

580
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: Wait, so he wants all the state employees to start

581
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: boffing each other on the copy machine. Oh boy, that's

582
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: what we're missing with Zoom. There's no office romance. And

583
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: he knows something about office romance because at one point

584
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: he had an affair with his campaign manager's wife. He's

585
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: also the a hole that sent everyone home.

586
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 2: He was the warden all during COVID, when Florida was

587
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: acting like nothing was wrong and other states were back

588
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 2: to normal, and he forced everyone to work from home. Well,

589
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 2: guess what when you force people to work from home,

590
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 2: you take them out of their office where they were

591
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 2: perfectly happy, and you put them in their homes. People

592
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: adapt and they get comfortable, and if they're getting all

593
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: of their stuff done, who cares where they are?

594
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 7: And all I'm asking for is you get three day weekends.

595
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: You still do well? No, you still have to work

596
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: on that last day, you're just working from home. That's

597
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: not a three day weekend.

598
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 4: You know, four years ago that would have been a triumph.

599
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: Now it's some burden.

600
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 7: So respectfully, I have a different point of view.

601
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: Needs some repeating with want him calling all of these

602
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 2: union workers entitled and lazy is something that I would

603
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 2: imagine they're going to remember for a very long period

604
00:33:59,120 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 2: of time.

605
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: Between this and not having their back with the billionaire's tax.

606
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: The SEIU has a lot of reasons to start throwing

607
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: daggers at pictures of Gavin Newsom on their boards.

608
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 2: How much do you want to bet? In the Democratic

609
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 2: primary in twenty twenty eight, they all come out and

610
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 2: endorse Kamala Harris or AOC or someone other than Gavin Newsom.

611
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 13: ONNG set about his reasons for the mandate in person interactions,

612
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 13: relationships and the revitalization of Downtown's helping that poor sandwich shop.

613
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 13: As he put it, it's not the it's not the

614
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 13: employees responsibility, including the employees.

615
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: That were hired post COVID that only have done these

616
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: jobs remotely to keep the sandwich shop in business. That's

617
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: on Sacramento, keeping the city and the downtown safe. That's

618
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: how the sandwich shop stays in business. And here's something

619
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: to keep in mind.

620
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 2: Regardless of what you think about work from ho home,

621
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 2: whether you support it, you're against it, whatever, this has

622
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 2: nothing to do with the quality of output from state employees,

623
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 2: and it has everything to do with Sacramento being a

624
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 2: ghost town. And he does not want images of urban

625
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: blight used against him in television ads when he runs

626
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: for president. And if he forces people back to downtown

627
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: Sacramento where it looks busy, it looks like things are

628
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 2: going on. You don't have a bunch of closed stores,

629
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 2: you have a pulse, all of those things, it makes

630
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 2: him look good. This is all about what the pictures

631
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 2: are supposed to look like what he runs for president.

632
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 13: Newsom also said he doesn't think he's asking for much

633
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 13: with this order and that it's not some great burden.

634
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 13: And meantime, I'm hearing from many workers about increase spending

635
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 13: on gas due to those longer commutes, struggles with pet

636
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 13: and childcare, and some even considering leaving the state workforce.

637
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 13: Another protest is planned for one state.

638
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 3: Chris, Okay, Jinny, thank you.

639
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: So there you go. As Gavin Newsom continues his fight

640
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: with the state workers' unions that do not want to

641
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: be going back into the office four days a week.

642
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: And it's interesting because neither side is really backing down.

643
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 2: The union is furious over this. Gavin appears not to

644
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: be buckling at all. Now he is the governor, he's

645
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 2: the boss, so he has the final say. But hurt

646
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 2: feelings can last a long time. Randy Well, and he's

647
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 2: also only the boss for another three or four months.

648
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 2: You think bach Aria is gonna hold this up? Back

649
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 2: area is a pushover?

650
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: All right?

651
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 2: We have two more hours coming up on the John

652
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: Phillips Show. Julie Watts from CBS California joins us.

653
00:36:58,760 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: Next.

654
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 2: She he has a bombshell investigative report that's out about

655
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 2: a deal, a no big deal here in California involving

656
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 2: diapers for California babies. That stinks. Those details up next,
