And by the way, if you think 110 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: about it, not even the Pride message made sense because 111 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: it was all about how to properly how to properly 112 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: clean a marital aid.

It is very difficult. 115 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 2: Try your hardest, but it's not going to go very 116 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: well for you, No. 117 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: It won't. 118 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: That's why we need an uncensored podcast just to explain 119 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: what your public dollars were advising the public to do, 120 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 2: not just during Pride, but they had the same PSAs 121 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: during monkey pocks. 122 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: Oh yes, how could we forget that? 123 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 2: If you learned one thing today, just remember, if you're 124 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 2: going to celebrate the World Cup, you must carry Narcan. 125 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: All right now.

The 180 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 8: train or the bus was going at the same speed 181 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 8: of cars. 182 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 6: You know. 183 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 2: I remember when the Rams finally came back to Los 184 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 2: Angeles and they played those couple of years at USC 185 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: before SOFI was built. I went to one of the 186 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 2: first games there and the check in process was such 187 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 2: a pain in the butt. Traffic was such an awful 188 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 2: experience to get there. By the time we actually got 189 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: to our seats, it was the second quarter. 190 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, it's a huge problem. And the thing 191 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: is is some places have it down. You go to 192 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: an Angel game and you get into that stadium and 193 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: out of that stadium lickety split. And no, it's not 194 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: just because the stadium's empty because they keep losing, but 195 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: it was like that when the stadium was full. 196 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: They do have three different freeways that I'll get you 197 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 2: right there. 198 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: Yes, why can't we make every stadium like Anaheim? We've 199 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: decided for Dodger Stadium, it's really really really hard to 200 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: get in, really really really hard to get out. You 201 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: can either take your chances on the Dodger Stadium Express 202 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: Bus or pay Frank McCourt seventy dollars to park. But 203 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 1: don't you worry. 204 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 2: Someday and by some day, I mean ten years from now, 205 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 2: they'll build that gondola. That'll do it. 206 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 7: Yeah, on this. 207 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 8: Shuttle and it's a two miles to the stadium. Took 208 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 8: us almost forty five minutes. 209 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 5: Dulcivasquez is not the only Metro writer say she missed 210 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 5: last week's opening ceremonies at La Stadium because traffic delayed 211 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 5: her Metro shuttle. 212 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 9: We did hear the traffic quest congested around the stadium, 213 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 9: but unfortunately that's beyond our control. 214 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,479 Speaker 1: Oh, come on. 215 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 2: On, of course, it's beyond our control. We're a Metro. 216 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 2: We take care of the buses, the trains and the freeways, 217 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 2: but bad traffic is beyond our control. It's your fault 218 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 2: for clogging up the freeways La County. They had signed 219 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 2: saying avoid traffic, use Metro, and then Metro was late. 220 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 9: It's unfortunate if someone made it late. We did start 221 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 9: our shuttle service more than four hours before the game 222 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 9: started on Friday. 223 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: Fans lining up at Okay, but who wants to get 224 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: to the building four hours before. They don't even let 225 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: you in until like an hour and a half before 226 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: the game, and I don't think they'll let you tailgate 227 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: out there, So you're going to stand there in the 228 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: hot sun, buying eight dollars bottles of water from a 229 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: street vendor until they let you inside. 230 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 5: On Metro hub Way before those three hours for today's match, 231 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 5: including these fans. 232 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 9: Easiest pie Bucks seventy five, best deal in the city, 233 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 9: no issue. 234 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know why that guy likes it. No one's 235 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 2: going to sit next to him, would you. When I've 236 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 2: written public transit, it's the same strategy that you have 237 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 2: when you fly Southwest before they turn to assigned seating 238 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: when it was that anything goes policy.

You can use your regular credit card and 264 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: get some points.

Good luck dialing. 400 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: So yesterday California Governor Gavin Newsom came out and said 401 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: that he is being investigated by the FBI. That this 402 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: investigation stems, I guess from a legend in propriety involving 403 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: his wife and a business that she's involved with that 404 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: produces movies and sells them to schools in California. He 405 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: said that he is the victim of the Trump administration 406 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: persecuting him for his politics. The problem, however, is, like 407 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: with Oakland mayors Sheng Tao, and like with Dana Williamson, 408 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: Galvin Newsom's chief of staff, and John McCluskey, who is 409 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: the former chief of staff to Javier Bessera, these investigations 410 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: take forever. 411 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely, Shangy's trial is finally happening in October. There's 412 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 2: a Twitter account I follow called the Shang Tao Files, 413 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 2: and they're counting down every single day. 414 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: Well, here's the problem. Though, all of these investigations did 415 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: not start in the Trump administration. They all started in 416 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: the Biden administration. 417 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 2: And according to what we know about the current investigations 418 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 2: into the Newsoms, they may have started by a whistleblower 419 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 2: comme planes at the local and state level. For more 420 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 2: on this, we go to kcra three and our friend 421 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 2: Ashley Zavalla make sure you subscribe to kcra three's YouTube channel. 422 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 2: Here we go. 423 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 3: Our Governor Gavin Newsom says the Apartment of Justice is 424 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 3: investigating him and his wife. 425 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 10: They're demanding records, They're abusing the grand jury process, digging 426 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 10: through years and years of random documents. 427 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump isn't just coming out. 428 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 2: Is there somebody at the DOJ that has to listen 429 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 2: to every episode of his podcast? 430 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: Now? Oh, can you imagine for me because of my 431 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: mean tweets? 432 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 10: He's coming after me because I'm considering running for president. 433 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,239 Speaker 2: Oh, we're just straight up saying that. 434 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: Now. Remember when he claimed that he had sub zero 435 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: interest in running for president. 436 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody believed that, not even Alex Michaelson when he 437 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 2: asked him the question. 438 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 3: Now, the governor says federal agents have been contacting people 439 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 3: close to him without evidence of a crime. Thanks for 440 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 3: joining us at six tonight. 441 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 12: I'm Gulston Dark and I'm ANDROA Flores. The governor also 442 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 12: claims the investigation is retaliation for his criticism of President Trump, 443 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 12: as well as his own presidential run or potential run. 444 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 12: Political director Ashisvala joins us. 445 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: Now, so pause this for a second, because go back 446 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: to Dana Williamson, who is looking at what decades in 447 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: prison for what she allegedly did. 448 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 2: Is she gonna be I mean, she's getting a plead deal, 449 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 2: so it'll probably be down. But yes, she is looking 450 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 2: at a lot of time for orchestrating this plan to 451 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 2: steal money from Javier Beasera's dormant campaign account to give 452 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 2: it to Javier Basera's buddy because he needed to take 453 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 2: a pay cut to go work for Javi aer Basera 454 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 2: in the federal government. 455 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: But her day job at the time that she was 456 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: popped was she was the chief of staff for Gavin Newsom. 457 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: And one of the questions that kept coming up to 458 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: her attorney is are they looking for dirt on gas? 459 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: Are they asking questions about Gavin Newsom? Are they offering 460 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: you a more lenient sentence if you give them information 461 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: on Gavin Newsom? That was a topic that kept coming 462 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: up or. 463 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 12: Most this is kind of the first time that he 464 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 12: has said those words about a possible presidential run. That 465 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 12: is true, but what are we hearing about the investigation? 466 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 13: There's a lot to unpack here from this morning. To 467 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 13: be clear, neither the governor nor his wife have been 468 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 13: subpoenaed by federal investigators, but the governor's office says banks 469 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 13: associated with businesses and organizations the Newsom's help oversee have 470 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 13: been subpoenaed to provide financial records. 471 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 2: That's right, plump Jack, open up your books. 472 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: Uh oh. 473 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 13: More than a dozen people associated with the Newsoms have 474 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 13: been approached by federal investigators within the last week or so. 475 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 13: The governor's office did cooperate earlier this year as federal 476 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 13: authorities looked into a situation involving his ex chief of staff, 477 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 13: Dana Williamson, who was indicted in November. Specifically, they cooperated 478 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 13: related to the firing of a state at Kearney within 479 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 13: the Newsom administration. Who is being investigating or who was investigating? 480 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 13: I should say video game company Activision Blizzard, But apparently 481 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,719 Speaker 13: nothing came of that. So now the governor says they 482 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 13: are looking for a crime that does not exist. Meanwhile, 483 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 13: law enforcement sources close to the situation tell us there 484 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 13: are multiple investigations involving people associated with the Newsoms, which 485 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 13: started a year ago. 486 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 2: theF there's so much corruption in Sacramento. It's going to 487 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 2: take a long time to sift through it all and 488 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 2: who's connected to who. 489 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, the way that the FEDS find 490 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: out about these things is that you have a falling 491 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: out with someone who knows too much, or you cut 492 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: them out of the deal, or their spoils are less 493 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: than what they were expecting and they have a chip 494 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: on their shoulder and they're out for revenge. That's how 495 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: it works. 496 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 13: Attorney's Office here in Sacramento is leading that investigation, and 497 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 13: multiple sources confirmed to us. One of the sources said 498 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 13: the investigation involves Newsom's wife, Jennifer's news and the tax 499 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 13: related activity of her nonprofit organizations. 500 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 2: Another is and this may have to do as we've 501 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,959 Speaker 2: heard from Susan Crabtree yesterday and reporting from Jennifer van 502 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 2: Laura in the past, which is legal but certainly ethically dubious, 503 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 2: the behested payments of companies that had business with the 504 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 2: state donating to jen Newsom's charity. 505 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: Because here's what happens. If you donate to Gavin Newsom. 506 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: There are limits as to how much money you can give. 507 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: There are different limits for state politicians than there are 508 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: for La City politicians or San Francisco City politicians, and 509 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: they're both different from what you can do with federal politicians. However, 510 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: if you want to give unlimited amounts of money, you 511 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: can do that so long as you give to a 512 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: charity that the spouse is running. Go back to the Bontas. 513 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: Remember that the Bontes were alleged to have been running 514 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: a scheme like this at some point in the past. 515 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: And he would be an elected official and she would 516 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: work for a non for profit, and then the non 517 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 1: for profit would benefit from his status as an elected It. 518 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 2: Was a bombshell story from I believe cal Matters, and 519 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 2: nobody paid attention to it because the story dropped in 520 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 2: February of twenty twenty. Bought Bonta, but it did allege 521 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 2: that they kept trading Mia Banta going on a nonprofit 522 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 2: that would have business that would have to do with 523 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 2: the state, him being a member of the Assembly, directing 524 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 2: money to that nonprofit, then moving to another one and 525 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 2: getting all kinds of different special interest involved, including the 526 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 2: tribal casinos who we know he's been doing their bidding 527 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 2: for quite some time. 528 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: And this is a common tactic in Sacramento I know 529 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: that Tony Atkins, remember her, the state senator who was 530 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: going to run for governor After she got turned out 531 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: of the legislature. It was alleged that she was running 532 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: a similar scheme with her wife. Her wife did not 533 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: work for the government. Her wife worked for one of 534 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: these third parties that benefited from Tony atkins status as an. 535 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 13: Elected related to staff in the governor's office, including his 536 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 13: ex chief of staff Dana Williamson, according to the source. Now, 537 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 13: the source could not provide more specifics beyond that, but 538 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 13: noted the investigations started from whistleblowers within California who provided 539 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 13: this information to state and local investigators, not because of 540 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 13: President Donald Trump or Todd Blanche Again, according to the sources, 541 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 13: we reached out to the US Department of Justice, which 542 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 13: declined to comment. We also reached out to the US 543 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 13: Attorney's office here in Sacramento. We're still waiting to hear back. 544 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 13: And finally I checked in with the lawyer for Newsom's 545 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 13: X chief of staff, Dana Williamson McGregor Scott. He said 546 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,479 Speaker 13: the first he's hearing about all of this was today 547 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 13: and has had no indication that his client, Dana Williamson 548 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 13: is being investigated in anything separate from the indictment in. 549 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 2: November, Well, that's definitely interesting. If Dana is not being 550 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 2: asked about anything else, and she had an opportunity in 551 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: that plea dealed to implicate Besarah, implicate Newsom whoever, and 552 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 2: she didn't. So is she falling on her sword or 553 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 2: is that all there is there? 554 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: Who knows? But keep in mind this is going to 555 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: be a problem for Newsom in a Democratic primary because 556 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: he is going to frame it that he is a 557 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: victim of Donald Trump's abusive power. Now, if this investigation 558 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: started from whistleblowers in California, Donald Trump had nothing to 559 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: do with this. This is something that started in California 560 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: and is being investigated in California. And if you're someone like, oh, 561 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: I don't know Kamala Harris, the former attorney general of 562 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: the state of California, and Gavin Newsom's top front of me, 563 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: you're going to use this as a club that you 564 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: beat him over the head with. We are doing it. 565 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 2: If Gavin and Kamala both run, who gets the first 566 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 2: bite at a smith? Oh, he's going to be the 567 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 2: girl that everyone wants to take to the Dans. 568 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 12: As you mentioned, there's a lot going on here. What 569 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 12: next and is governor planning on taking any legal action 570 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 12: against the administration? 571 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 14: Right? 572 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 13: That's the big question here. Since the governor has come 573 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 13: out ahead of this, it's really not clear yet. His 574 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 13: office won't say if he's going to take legal action. 575 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 13: What we do know is that within the last hour, 576 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 13: the governor did file a Freedom of Information Act request 577 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 13: within the US Department of Justice asking for communications like 578 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 13: tax email signal messages involving DOJ leaders that use the 579 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 13: terms Gavin Newsom or Jennifer Siebel Newsom or Newsom between January. 580 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 2: You don't want to know what's on those private chats 581 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 2: about you, buddy. 582 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: Oh, can you imagine this is. 583 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 2: Like googling yourself to the end degree, which I think 584 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 2: Gavin is somebody that googles himself quite constantly, and I'm 585 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 2: not using that as a euphemism. 586 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: Well, that's why he watches Fox, That's why he watches Newsmax, 587 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: that's why he watches One America because they talk about 588 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: him more than CNN or MSNBC does. They just talk 589 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: about him in a negative context. From his point of you, 590 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't care if he's being talked about in a 591 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: positive or negative context. He just wants to be the 592 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: topic of conversation, so he hate watches the conservative channels. 593 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 13: Surry of last year and now. But I just want 594 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 13: to circle back that it's not the Department of Justice 595 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 13: in Washington, d C. That's again leading this investigation. It's 596 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 13: the one right here in Sacramento. 597 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: So there's tik all right, thank you. 598 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 2: So there you go, Gavin Newsome claiming that the DOJ 599 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 2: is investigating him because he's thinking about running for president. 600 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: It's the Gan Phillips Show.

She can be 631 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 1: the next attorney general at California. 632 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 10: Every type of leadership is about meeting the moment and 633 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 10: rising to the occasion. And this is what's required, and 634 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 10: so we're stepping up and getting it done. 635 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 4: The biggest difference is lawmakers would hold off on plan 636 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 4: reductions to medical and healthcare coverage, impacting some immigrants, along 637 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 4: with proposed cuts in home support services. 638 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 11: We are about to pass a budget that seemingly by definition, 639 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 11: is not balanced. 640 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: Well, we've been doing that for eight years. It's how 641 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: we do things here, except for. 642 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 2: Those two years after COVID where we had these hundred 643 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 2: billion dollar surpluses, but no one can tell you where 644 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:43,919 Speaker 2: that money went. 645 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: Nope. 646 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 11: Need is a critical review of programs to assess whether 647 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 11: or not they're achieving what they're intended to achieve. Is 648 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 11: it sustainable given increasing costs that we're experiencing. 649 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 4: Democrats and the governor have largely pointed to actions out 650 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 4: of Washington, saying HR one is forcing California to make 651 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 4: tough decisions, and we made. 652 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 14: Some responsible decisions as we move forward to ensure that 653 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 14: Californians don't feel and bear the bread of what's already 654 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 14: coming to us from the federal government. 655 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 4: But Senator Roger Nilow says HR one isn't having the 656 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 4: kind of impact Democrats are describing. 657 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 11: What has been imposed by HR one is work or 658 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 11: volunteer requirements for able bodied adults. 659 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,760 Speaker 1: We define able bodied. How about if you can work, 660 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: but you're not really bright and you're lazy too. 661 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 11: Without children, those are not families, could be couples, but 662 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 11: primarily those are single people able bodied without children. 663 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 4: Lawmakers are also expecting. 664 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 2: If you want your food stamps, you're going to have 665 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 2: to work twenty hours a week. And if you can't 666 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 2: find a job because the job market's terrible, well then 667 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 2: you can pick up trash for twenty hours a week. 668 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: I love the fact that the Democrats and Sacramento act 669 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: like people are going to starve due to federal cuts 670 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 1: to programs like the one that they just described. When 671 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: every time I go to the grocery store and I 672 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: see someone playing with food stamps, they're not skinning bones. 673 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 1: In fact, they're all about three hundred and fifty pounds. 674 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: Well that's because you can use the EBT card in 675 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: fast food places. Yes, I think you could use it 676 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 1: at gas stations and places like that too. 677 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 4: To take up the so called fair Share Plan, which 678 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 4: would require some of California's largest employers that don't offer 679 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 4: health insurance to help pay into medical. 680 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 14: Fifty four percent of the people that are on a 681 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 14: public healthcare system in our state, have a full time job. 682 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 14: We are all forced to ask the question what do 683 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 14: we do about that? 684 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 11: But it's going to have to be justified. And I 685 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 11: know the larger companies that are targeted with this are 686 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 11: very concerned about it. One, they offer health insurance, so 687 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 11: their employees number two. And it'll be interesting to see 688 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 11: that the data and facts that come out if that 689 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 11: particular fair share thing is passed. 690 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 2: It's one of those terms we got to get rid of. 691 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 2: I'm done with fair share. We've been hearing that forever 692 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 2: and ever and ever and ever and ever. In fact, 693 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,760 Speaker 2: going back to these arnold days, we were talking about 694 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:23,320 Speaker 2: fair share. 695 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: So I just fact checked myself to find out if 696 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: you can use EBT and food stamps at gas stations. 697 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: According to groc the answer is yes. Popular change like 698 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: seven to eleven, circle K, some AMPM and independent corner 699 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: stores often accept it. You can buy eligible food items 700 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 1: including cold grocery, snacks, drinks, et cetera. 701 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 2: So you can go into a seven eleven, buy a 702 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 2: slim gym, buy a big lighter light the end of 703 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 2: the slim gym on fire because some people do that 704 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 2: and you get the government to pay for it. 705 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 1: That's right, although my guess is, if you're on EBT 706 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,760 Speaker 1: and you're going to a seven to eleven, you're coming 707 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: in in a stolen Kia through the wall.
