1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: And we continue at one oh five in the afternoon 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: on the John Phillips Show live from our sister station 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: KMJ in Fresno. Mister Randy Wings in Culver City, Well. 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 2: While it's really hard to take the city's word for 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 2: it when they say crime is down, there is one 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 2: statistic that is very noticeable going on in the city 7 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 2: of Oakland right now. Glass repair companies in the town 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: are losing business. 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: So does that mean that there's not as much bipping 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: going on. 11 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 2: It's definitely possible. 12 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: I've been bipped several times. 13 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 2: Or you may have bars and restaurants that have decided 14 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 2: to just stick with the boarded up windows. 15 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, if everyone just puts a cage around 16 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: their windows, they're harder to break. 17 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 2: But I will say, while I do not have an 18 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: easy time believing these statistics put out by Barber Lee 19 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: and the OPD, it is interesting that the people who 20 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,639 Speaker 2: get paid to replace all the broken glass in Oakland 21 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 2: had a bad Q two. 22 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: Well, maybe that's good news for the rest of us. 23 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is 24 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: telephone number one eight hundred two to two two five 25 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: two two two.

You can follow him on x atkows Mickey 29 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 1: Mickey Cows Welcome. 30 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 3: Thanks, John, glad to be here. 31 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: Well, thanks so much for stopping by. Now. You have 32 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: been tweeting a lot about the LA mayor's race and 33 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: just exactly what happened When we all went to bed 34 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: on election night it looked like Spencer Pratt was eight 35 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: points ahead and a shoe in for the November ballot. 36 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: And then they finished counting all the ballots and oh no, 37 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: Spencer Pratt won't be on the November ballot. It's going 38 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: to be Karen Bass and Nitthea Rahman. 39 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 3: Well, obviously there was some big DSA ballot harvesting surge 40 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 3: for NiTi Raman. Uh that that much is clear. And 41 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: if you look at the d s A guidelines for 42 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 3: how to harvest ballots, it's borderline. It's sleezy from the 43 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 3: get go. I mean they say, you know, ask three 44 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 3: times if you can, somebody will give you their ballot 45 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 3: for them to fill out and then you can sign it. 46 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: Well that you know, if that was happening in a 47 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 3: polling place, that person would be arrested, right, So the 48 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 3: meli in voting lets them do it in the privacy 49 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 3: of the skid row or somewhere. Uh So that's the 50 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 3: legal part. And then there's the question is did they 51 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 3: go beyond what's what's sleeezy and legal and actually sort 52 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 3: of funnel in illegal votes under people who didn't exist 53 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: or or signatures you know there were phony and uh, 54 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 3: you know everybody is horrified. Oh no, you can't say 55 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: that it's conspiracy moir ring. But I've I've worked on 56 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 3: two campaigns and at the bottom of the level of 57 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 3: each campaign, the people were insane. They're crazy, they will 58 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 3: do anything to win. I remember one campaign where they 59 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 3: went to the phone books to fill out the petitions 60 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 3: with just people in the phone books. They found the 61 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 3: phone books who had no idea they were being their 62 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 3: names are being submitted as signing a petition. So they're 63 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 3: they're they're idealistic, but there's zealous and their madmans. So 64 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 3: why should why should Nitthia Ramins campaign be immune from that? 65 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 3: The government shouldn't set up an occasion where these mad 66 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: men are tempted to cheat. So I'm I'm I'm, I'm uh, 67 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: sort of agnostic on the actual cheating question. There's a 68 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: woman named a blogger named Jennifer Callahan who went to 69 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 3: the counting station. You know, you can anybody can go 70 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 3: and talk to the people. And they said, she said, well, 71 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 3: do you do you check the signals? And they go, nah, 72 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: we don't really do that. I mean, if I forged 73 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: the ballot and submitted it a account, you really shouldn't 74 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 3: do that, but it account, so, uh, you know, that's 75 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 3: that's the anecdotal evidence. It's one person, but it is evidence, 76 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 3: and uh, I'm hoping that the US Attorney will will 77 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 3: dig and see if you can find more evidence. 78 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: That's what I tell people when people tell me I 79 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: think the election was rigged, My response is usually everything 80 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: that you assume should be and is illegal, and everything 81 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: that definitely is unethical is legal in the state of 82 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: California when it comes to voting. So it's possible for 83 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: the other side to win using tactics that in any 84 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: other state would put you in jail, but in California 85 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,119 Speaker 1: it's anything goes. 86 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. A classic example is, you know, when you're collecting 87 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: a ballot in harvesting from a voter. In most states, 88 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 3: there's a law against using undue influence. You know, you 89 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: can't badger them and hector them and you know, sort 90 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 3: of subtly strong arm them into giving you their ballot. 91 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: California doesn't have that law. Okay, that California can have 92 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 3: a law of saying it's okay to punt somebody in 93 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 3: the note have no law saying it's okay to put 94 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 3: somebody in the nose. That doesn't make it a good thing. 95 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 3: If you're if you're asking, if you're if you're asking 96 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 3: the government what kind of election system to set up? 97 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 3: You don't set up a system where there's such a 98 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: massive occasion for fraud that it's like, you know, you 99 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: take the ballot behind a black curtain for an hour 100 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 3: and then uh, it comes out an hour later, and 101 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 3: you say, well, how can you how can you question 102 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 3: what happened behind the black curtain? You know you have 103 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 3: no proof. Well, don't set set up a system where 104 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 3: the ballots go behind a black curtain. 105 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: Well, and you know what's funny is our system was 106 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: specifically set up by people like Earl Warren and the 107 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: progressives back in the old days to prevent things like this. 108 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: From happening because you go to some of those East 109 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: coast cities, the big cities where the machines control everything, 110 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: you can vote a straight party line ticket when you 111 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: go behind the curtain. And what that does is it 112 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: gives other people the ability to know if you voted 113 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: a straight party line or not. And if you're a 114 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: Democrat and supposed to vote a straight Democrat party line, 115 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be in that booth for more than a 116 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: couple of sub minutes because it's easy to do it 117 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: that way. In California, they said, no, we're not going 118 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: to allow that here. You're going to have to vote 119 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: in each individual contest because if you allow people to 120 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: vote a straight party line by pulling one lever, then 121 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: third parties can tell if they're voting the way they're 122 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: supposed to be voting, and we don't want that here. 123 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 3: Well, that's interesting in ballot harvesting is a massive violation 124 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 3: of the secret ballot. I mean that DSA finds out 125 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 3: you're voting for and you know they have your ballots, 126 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 3: and they wouldn't have you any fill out your ballots. 127 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 3: It's a little like that, that system that the labor 128 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: unions want with card check where they sent two labor, big, 129 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: big heavy labor guys to your house and say, don't 130 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: you want to fill out this pro union card, ma'am? 131 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 3: It's and they know who voted for them and who 132 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: voted against them. And the one legal long shot, Hail 133 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 3: Mary Hope I can see is somebody could say this 134 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: violates the provision in the States Constitution that says ballots 135 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 3: shall be secret. That's in the state constitutions, not the 136 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 3: federal constitutions. So if I, if I were a good 137 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 3: lawyer with time on my hands, I would file that. 138 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: Suit right now. Each of the candidates who did make 139 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: it on the November ballot, Karen Bass and Nitthia Rahman, 140 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: are trying to find ways to appeal to Pratt voters 141 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: came in third, and in theory, Pratt voters will determine 142 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: which candidate is the winner, who do you think has 143 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: the best chance at getting Pratt voters. That being said, 144 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: if I lived in the city of Los Angeles, I 145 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: would have voted for Pratt and I would leave that 146 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: contest blank on my November ballot. I would not vote 147 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: for either one. 148 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's what I would do too. My 149 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 3: instinct is Rahman is enough of a blank slate that 150 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: she would get most of them. I think most people 151 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 3: are going to have your reaction in my reaction, they're 152 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 3: just not going to vote the actual Pratt voters. But 153 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 3: there are a lot of sort of people who sort 154 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 3: of liked Pratt who didn't maybe have the bulls to 155 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 3: vote for Pratt, and I don't know where they'll go. 156 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 3: Certainly Pratt isn't doing Bass any favors. He's constantly tweeting 157 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 3: about a horrible basses. She was in Chicago when the 158 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 3: Boyle Heights fire happened. He's now found that there was 159 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 3: an earlier fire at the same warehouse in the Solar panels. 160 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 3: She didn't do anything, So he's jumping all over, which 161 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 3: would tend to not be good for her and be 162 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 3: good for Raman. So if I had money to bet, 163 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 3: I would bet on Ramen. 164 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would too, because Karen Bass cannot get out 165 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: of her own way. And I think a lot of 166 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: people thought she would be a steady hand, that she 167 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: is a longtime democratic politician in a democratic city. She 168 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: can pick up the telephone and call just about any 169 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: boldface name in politics and things would be smooth and 170 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: It's been NonStop drama with her and every big initiative 171 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: that she's taken on, from homelessness to crime to the Olympics, 172 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: and then of course she have the disasters of the 173 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: Palisades fire and the chemical fire that's going on now. 174 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: Everything has been a disaster. I can't think of one 175 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: thing that's worked out for her. 176 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 3: A lot of it is public presentation. She just can't 177 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 3: get in front of the camera and say, don't worry, 178 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 3: everything is all right. Rudy Giuliani did that after nine 179 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 3: to eleven, to great a claim. Of course, he was 180 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 3: completely wrong. Everything wasn't all right, that people shouldn't have 181 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 3: moved back. The air was completely poisonous. But people remember 182 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: Julia's great leadership. Yesterday, Yes, yesterday, you know said, uh it, 183 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 3: the air is safe. Don't worry, the air is safe. 184 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 3: I immediately packed my bags to get out of town. 185 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: You know. It's it's she just has no credibility, so 186 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 3: she doesn't have the sort of basic memum. Donnie has 187 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 3: a lot more presence in charisma than than Karen Bass. 188 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 3: Uh So it's she may just not have the tools 189 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 3: to do the job, and she's completely surrendered to the 190 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 3: blog I mean, what has she done that the democratic 191 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 3: ng O interest group machine doesn't want her to do. 192 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 3: I don't think anything Gavin Newsom has done more more 193 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 3: to to you know, react to the democratic machine in 194 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 3: Karen Bass. 195 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: What do you make of this democratic fixation with socialism 196 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: that we're going through now? Because we know that Nythia 197 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: Rahman made the November ballot, but Mom, Donnie, the socialist 198 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: candidate one in New York, the socialist candidate one in Chicago, 199 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: the socialist candidate one in Seattle. And last week on CNN, 200 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: Harry Inton, the guy that goes over all the numbers, 201 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: was talking about a poll of Democrats where something like 202 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: forty two percent of them had a positive view of 203 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: capitalism and something like two thirds of them have a 204 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: positive view about socialism. 205 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 3: Boys, a long way from Bill Clinton and Tony Blair's, 206 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: you know, moderate Democrats using capitalism to serve our purposes. 207 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 3: I was tempted to say that they've watered down the 208 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 3: definition of socialism, which is supposed to be government ownership 209 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 3: at the means of production. So the government is supposed 210 00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 3: to own computer companies and steel companies. But then first 211 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 3: Trump is leading the socialists fora by having the government 212 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 3: take a stake in Intel, so the government is owning 213 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 3: a part to the computer company and it's sort of 214 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 3: regulating them in a corporate cartel. And the second thing is, 215 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 3: if you read the DSA platform, they talk about expropriating 216 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 3: private property to build apartment houses under government control. So 217 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 3: that is socialism. It's not watered down. So I'm reduced 218 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 3: to an old an old guys and muttering about young 219 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 3: folks these days don't remember why we embraced capitalism in 220 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 3: the nineties because it gave us unprecedented prosperity, and they 221 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 3: have to be retaught that lesson. As Bob Dylan said 222 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 3: the other day, the problem is going old. Getting old 223 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 3: is you see if the same thing happen over and 224 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 3: over again, and that's what's happening. So I, you know, 225 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 3: one hopes that they will grow out of it. I mean, 226 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 3: but they're a lot older than I was when I 227 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 3: grew out of it. 228 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: Why do you think democratic politicians who are capitalists, or 229 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 1: at least claimed to be, people like Nancy Pelosi, people 230 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: like Gavin Newsom, why aren't they taking that argument within 231 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: their own party, to their own voters and making the 232 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: case for something they claim to believe in. 233 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 3: That's a very good point, and I don't know why. 234 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 3: And I obviously they think that the tiger will lead them. 235 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 3: They think that, you know, Karen Basset is about to 236 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 3: be even live by the hipster DSA people. And I 237 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 3: guess Nancy Pelosi is worried about it too. And she 238 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 3: didn't endure Scott Wiener, who would be the hipster DNA person. 239 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: I guess the hipster ds A person so, And but 240 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 3: I think he's going to win anyway, so she may 241 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 3: not have the power. People are reluctant to exercise power 242 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 3: if they think they're going to lose. I also don't 243 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 3: understand why, you know, Newsom doesn't be more forward about 244 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 3: pushing back on these crazy left wing ideas. Classic example 245 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 3: the city council deciding to let illegals vote. Why does 246 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 3: a Newsom say I'm going to champion a state law 247 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 3: that prevents this from happening. He'd instantly be much more 248 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 3: popular nationwide. Right now, his main campaign is they're charging 249 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 3: me with crimes, So I don't know how successful that's 250 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: going to be. But you know, he's trying to do 251 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 3: it a bit on the billionaires tax. But I don't 252 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 3: you know, in three days we'll find out how successfully is. 253 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: How much of all of this do you think is 254 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: that the Democratic Party is now just defined as the 255 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: party that hates Donald Trump and anything that Donald Trump 256 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: is for we are reflexively against. So if Donald Trump 257 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: is a businessman and a billionaire and a capitalist, we 258 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: hate capitalism, we hate billionaires. And that's just the way 259 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: it's going to be. 260 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 3: Well, there's that. It also gives them a pass on 261 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 3: having these internecin and fights. They can all agree they 262 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 3: hate Donald Trump. And if that's all you need to 263 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 3: get under the big tent of the Democratic Party, then 264 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 3: they don't have to decide whether they're socialists or capitalist, 265 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 3: which is a you know, a hell of a lot 266 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 3: more fundamental question. So yeah, I mean there's you know, 267 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 3: that phenomenon is definitely what unites the Democrats the you know, 268 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 3: the the other thing that unites them is Republicans are racists. 269 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 3: I mean, there there, we hate Donald Trump. All Republicans 270 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 3: are racist. That's what the After Donald Trump has gone, 271 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 3: they're still going to hate g. D Vance or whoever 272 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 3: replaces him. Uh So they they've it's not just about Trump, 273 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 3: and it's now about the bifurcation of politics into one 274 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 3: group that thinks that the other party is just racist 275 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 3: in anything they do is racist. 276 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: You talk to Democrats in California, and they seem to 277 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: understand that Karen Bass has failed as mayor. They seem 278 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: to understand that the state of California is not well run. 279 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: They seem to understand that you should be able to 280 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: buy shampoo that's not locked up behind bulletproof glass. But 281 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: that's not the way that we live here, and you 282 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: do live where you can buy shampoo that's not locked 283 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: up in other states. Yet it seems like they don't 284 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: make the connection that the policies that are championed by 285 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: people like Newsim and Bass are leading to a very 286 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: poorly run government and shampoo that's locked up behind bulletproof glass. 287 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: And you go, well, wait a minute. You just complained 288 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: about this for the last twenty minutes, and now you're 289 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: telling me you're going to vote for the person who 290 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,239 Speaker 1: did this. And then they say, well, they come up 291 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: with some performative issue. She's good on democracy, or she's 292 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: good on climate change, or she's good on this, or 293 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: she's good on that. Yeah, she's not good at running 294 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: the government. But she's good on something that is impossible 295 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: to judge. 296 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 3: Hern Well, I think that's right. And the other part 297 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 3: of it is that the press, who should be the 298 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 3: first to point out this is a terrible state to 299 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 3: live in many respects, the ones you cite isn't doing that. 300 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 3: They are they are, you know, they're basically falling in 301 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 3: line with the Democrats in bass and not saying the 302 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 3: Democrats are doing a terrible job. The state's quality of 303 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 3: life has gone downhill. You know, I was before before 304 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 3: this this broadcast, I was reading George Skelton's various apologist 305 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 3: columns in the La Times. You know, elections are too slow, 306 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 3: but we can't really do anything about it except spend 307 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 3: more money on it. You know, you know what is 308 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 3: the ally times for to say, to be a yes 309 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 3: man for the democratic machine. It's ridiculous. 310 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: Do you see things changing anytime soon? 311 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 3: No, they might have changed if Rick Crusoe had run. 312 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 3: I don't quite know why he didn't have the balls 313 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 3: to run. I mean, people the defenders of the status 314 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 3: quo will tell you that under every scenario, under every 315 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 3: game they played, you know where they gamed out the election, 316 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 3: he would lose and then There's this consultant named Michael 317 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 3: Trehee who said, if we really knew the reason, it's 318 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 3: so trivial and stupid, we would laugh. So that's usually 319 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 3: the case, and some people say he's holding out to 320 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 3: be county executives or you know, or he's sucking up 321 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 3: the bass his right hand person. I wouldn't mind that. 322 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 3: That would be a good move, but I don't think 323 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 3: why would best do that. 324 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: I read somewhere that his daughter was getting married and 325 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: that if he were to run, that would upset all 326 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: of their family plans for the wedding. Because rich people, 327 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: it's not just one day.

Now. I don't know if you remember this one, Randy. 503 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: This happened a long time ago. But remember when Northwest 504 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: Orient Airlines was around. I do not remember that, okay. 505 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: So they were based out of the Twin Cities, and 506 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: I believe Detroit, and they were gobbled up by Delta, 507 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: and they had a base in Minneapolis and Saint Paul 508 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: and a lot of the pilots who make a pretty 509 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: good salary who worked for that airline declared residency in 510 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: North Dakota and not Minnesota. Minnesota is a cold California 511 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: where they tax you to death, and they certainly want 512 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: to raise taxes every opportunity they get. So a lot 513 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: of those guys go, Okay, I live in North Dakota. 514 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: So one day the State Controller's office in Minnesota goes 515 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: to Northwest and said, give us a list of all 516 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: of your pilots who have declared residency in North Dakota. 517 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: And they investigated each and every one of them, and 518 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: some of those pilots, many of those pilots who lied 519 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: about their residency ended up going to jail. 520 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 2: Oh my. 521 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 5: In a one on one with Fox, Elven, Hawkman said 522 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 5: this unit grew out of a gap he saw after 523 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 5: taking office. For taxpayers, when someone doesn't pay, the cost 524 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 5: doesn't disappear. It falls on people and businesses following the rules. 525 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 6: Those are the checks that pay for police, they play 526 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 6: for fire, they play for our roads, they pay for 527 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 6: our utilities. But the people who are not following the 528 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 6: returns and paying the taxes, they are trying to get 529 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 6: an unfair advantage over hardworking Los Angelinos. 530 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 2: Or they just see how much of our money's getting 531 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 2: wasted and they just want to keep it. 532 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 6: They are trying to get an unfair advantage over hard work. 533 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 2: You know, you start really paying attention how awful the 534 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: government is when they start taking forty percent out of 535 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 2: your paycheck. 536 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: Oh, it's just awful. And then you talk to people 537 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: who live in Florida or Nevada or other places, and 538 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: the amount of money if they made the same amount 539 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: of money that you do, the take home pay, the 540 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: take home amount is so different in those other states, 541 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: and it is in California. And then they go but 542 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: you get all those great services in return. You know, 543 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: we get an email from our market manager, Hey, we 544 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: had a really great quarter.

California. 547 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 6: They are trying to get an unfair advantage over hardworking 548 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 6: Los Angelinos.
