Well. The top story today is that 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:15.360 the California Democratic Party officially endorsed the wealth confiscation text 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.679 that's going to be on the November ballot, and Randy, 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:22.080 as soon as I saw that, I thought to myself, great, 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.520 as a state, if the Democratic Party gets their way, 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.039 we're going to kick out all the productive people and 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.360 we're going to keep all the losers. And if you 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.760 want to know what happens when you do that, you 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:40.880 talk to any Clipper fan from the nineteen eighties or now. 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:42.680 That true. 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.640 So there was a couple of instances where there was 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:52.280 a little opposition to this, but ultimately the party endorsed 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:59.120 Prop forty the Billionaire's Tax, despite opposition from who you 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.520 could argue are the two most prominent figures in the 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:07.320 California Democrat Party, one being Gavin Newsome. 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.799 That is something we are mindful of, and one. 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.560 Being Javier Bacharia scrub it. 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.720 You know what it was that apparently pushed them over 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.360 the edge was to get behind this tax. I'm not 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:25.040 making this up. Apparently Maxine Waters made an appearance and 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.519 it looked like there wasn't going to be enough votes 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.800 to get it over the top. But then Maxine walks 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:35.000 in and steals the show, and that gives them the 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:36.840 votes that they need to get behind it. 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.360 Mad Max got the support for this thing huh, that's 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:45.600 who did it. Well, let's see what the after effects 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.680 are now that Prop forty has been endorsed by the 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:53.120 California Democrat Party. This is, of course, the SEIU Healthcare 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:57.560 Union backed initiative that would take a five percent asset 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.040 seizure of the two hundred or so billionaires in the 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:05.160 state of California and use that money for healthcare. 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.360 You know what else this is, it's the SCIU having 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:13.799 complete control of that party. When it comes to the SCIU, 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.760 the California Democratic Party does not have the ability to 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.919 say no. If the California Democratic Party was an actual girl, 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:23.600 they'd be pregnant by thirteen. 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:31.120 Just gonna move past that one. Here's ABC. 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:35.320 Ten named Democrats, including Governor Gavin Newsom, have opposed the 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:39.040 billionaires tax, but over the weekend, the state Democratic Party 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:40.880 voted to endorse the ballot measure. 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:45.560 Gavin doesn't have a great track record in backing horses 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.560 for these statewide elections. He had a big win with 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.680 Prop fifty, but he was on the complete wrong side 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.440 of Prop thirty six, And even though he may be 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.920 on the right side of this issue, the public's not 0:03:59.040 --> 0:03:59.520 with him. 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.760 Nope, do not forget when it came to Proposition thirty six, 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.960 it passed in all fifty eight counties in California, all 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:09.120 fifty eight. 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.760 And by most of them in margins where it was 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:16.880 seventy thirty. Despite that, Sacramento politicians and Gavin Newsom don't 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.960 want to fully fund it, and now there are all 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.479 kinds of diversion programs to handicap it. 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.920 ABC ten State Matters political reporter Jenny huh is here 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:27.160 now to explain. 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.640 Well, Chris, the wolf tax has been a divisive issue 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.599 within the Democratic Party and with members of the state 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:34.440 Democratic Party. 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.480 I wonder when people were collecting signatures. You know, sometimes 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.760 you have to you know, when you're standing outside of 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.560 Farmers Market or you're standing outside of target. What have 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.240 you've got the table? You've got to collect the signatures. 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.200 You've got to say something to get people's attention. How 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:53.200 many people over the spring we're screaming out, do you 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:57.479 want to take Tom Steyer's money away? Would you like 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.599 to stop seeing those stupid ads take his money away 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.080 so he can't afford any. 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:07.560 I'm Tom Steyer. I'm about to ride the d. 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.320 Voting to bug the opinion of Governor Newsom. The road 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:12.960 to November could be bumpy. 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:17.000 We weren't surprised. I think the establishment was surprised. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:18.880 Dave Reagan with Seius. 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.440 This is the real power players in the state of California. 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.680 The Union still pull a lot of the strings. 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.000 To HW the helped her union behind the proposed one 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.760 time tax on the states two hundred or so billionaires. 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.080 Is celebrating the endorsement by the California Democratic Party. 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.760 And if this passes by the margins that it looks 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.440 like it may pass according to the most recent poll. 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.840 Why would any of the other unions that are not 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.200 getting this five percent not put one up in twenty 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.680 twenty eight or twenty thirty. The teachers aren't getting any 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:56.000 money from this. Ceesely wants her five percent that money. 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.880 What was the thing that was in the hunter byden 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:00.640 emails ten percent? The big guy? 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:04.760 Nope, wrong start. 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.800 Reagan says it sends a clear message to Democratic leaders 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:11.680 in opposition like Governor Gavin Newsom and leading gubernatorial candidate 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:12.520 Javier Basera. 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.960 Frankly, nobody cares what Besarah put out a list of 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.960 the the propositions he's endorsing. 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.120 Who's paying attention to that? 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.600 No? And this shows you, by the way, where the 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.599 power is in California. The power is in the unions, 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.080 and the people who get elected to office are just 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:36.120 the figureheads of the coalition. It was Gavin and now 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.599 it's going to be passed down to Bakariea. But the 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.240 people calling the shots will not change. It's the SCIU. 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.360 They're going to get their initiative through despite the objections 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.279 of all the elected Democrats. And they just act like 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.760 they don't matter. And guess what they don't. 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.480 If I were in their shoes, I would be reevaluating 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:58.080 that they are out of step. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.560 Over the weekend, executive board member of the state Democratic Party, 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.159 including party officers and representatives from. 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.200 All everyone looks so excited to be there at that convention. 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.520 And these people, by the way, are the most radical 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.239 activists on planet Earth. They were the ones that blewed 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.760 Dianne Feinstein when she came out and favored the death penalty. 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.760 They were the ones that endorsed Kevin de Leone over 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:24.920 Dianne Feinstein when he challenged her for her US Senate seat. 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:29.720 If given the opportunity, they'd probably nominate Luigi Mangioni for president. 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.000 It is hot as hell, and I knew there was 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:34.400 a reason I keep that on the board. 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.160 Fifty eight counties met in San Diego to endorse candidates 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.160 and ballot measures on the November ballot. Chair Rusty Hicks 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.360 was not available for an interview for this story, but 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:44.200 a spokes. 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:45.160 What is he busy doing? 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.120 Didn't he run for Assembly and losing the primary. 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:50.280 First and confirmed? 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:50.520 Well? 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.680 Typically, that's who the consultants are, the people that couldn't 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.040 go the distance themselves. 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:59.560 It was a narrow vote to endorse proposition forty sixty 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.680 one percent. Sixty percent is the threshold for an endorsement. 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:06.320 I mean, what political message do you think this sense that? Again, 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:10.680 despite those two leaders so firmly opposing this tax, the 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.320 party and its delegates nevertheless are moving forward with this endorsement. 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.960 Well, Gavin is soon to be a non factor. He 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.320 has an expiration date and it's coming up real soon. 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:26.120 Javier Bessera is a buffoon and nobody pays attention to him. 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.360 These are the real power players here and they know it. 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.800 What it says very clearly is this is where people 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.160 are at. I don't think it's lost on anybody that 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.120 Governor Newsom is running to be the President of the 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:45.440 United States and the party that he wants to claim 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:52.280 the nomination of in his home state, just did exactly 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.840 what he was very vocally asking people not to do. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.160 Spokes I got to say, between this and then the 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.440 fight to send the other SEIU were workers back to 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.760 the office, I don't see the unions getting behind him 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:06.520 in the primary. 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:11.480 No, No, especially when you're gonna have two other Californians 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.959 in the race. You're gonna have Kamala Harris and you're 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.320 gonna have Rocanna. And my guess is that many of 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.160 those unions will get behind one of those two candidates. 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.760 Well, Rocana has come out strongly for the billionaire tax. 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.520 Kamala I don't think has even been asked about it 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.960 because she's busy doing nothing. 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.160 Person for the opposition coalition led by Newsom. Stop the 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.720 Squeeze tells us Democratic voters will oppose a tax quote 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:41.240 when they learn it, what force cuts to schools, healthcare, transportation, 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.880 and housing or trigger massive broad based tax hikes due 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.319 to hundreds of millions per year lost in revenue. 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.120 And how are they going to learn that? Are they 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.160 going to read the voter guide? Because most people don't. 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.120 Well and His objection to the tax isn't that it's 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.920 going to drive out all the tech people. His objection 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.280 is that they didn't spread it around to the other 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.320 leeches well. 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:08.640 And remember, the teachers Union specifically has a vested interest 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:13.840 in this not passing, because if this causes some of 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.240 the top earners in the state to leave, if it 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.959 causes some of the top companies in the state to leave, 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.720 that is lower revenue for the state. And Prop ninety 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.240 eight says that a whole bunch of revenue has to 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.840 go towards the teachers and the schools, So they're going 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.600 to lose money out of this. It's interesting when people 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.480 are pulled, are they polled knowing where the money goes, 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.600 or do they even care? They just hate Elon and 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.439 this is a way to go after the billionaires. 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.720 Yeah, this is going to blow the budget. I don't 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:47.640 think people understand how the budget works in California. The 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:52.400 rich people, specifically the rich people in Silicon Valley, pay 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:56.520 a disproportionate amount of the taxes, and not even from 0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:01.120 W two income, it's from capital gains. When their stocks 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:05.480 do well, when Apple stock does well, when Tesla stock 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:09.320 does well, when Amazon stock does well. That's when those 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.800 people make a ton of money. And when they make 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.880 a ton of money, they have to pay taxes to Sacramento, 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.360 which is the reason that the income for the state 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.840 is not terribly reliable. When it's a good year on 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.720 the stock market, they pay a ton. When it's a 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.480 bad year on the stock market, they don't pay as much. 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.400 But you get all of these people to leave the state. 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.199 It doesn't matter if the stock market has a good 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.400 year or a bad year because they're no longer paying 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:40.199 California taxes. And guess what, I don't think it's one 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.480 of these deals where they're going to come back where 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.400 they're going to go to Florida, or they're going to 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.160 go to Nevada, or they're going to go to some 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.280 other state and they're going to go you know what, 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.480 we have to go back to California. I mean, I 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:55.120 miss seeing that friendly neighborhood homeless encampment that was right 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.200 next to my kids' school. It's not going to happen. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.080 They're going to go establish residency in some other state 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.240 and when they want to come back to go to 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.480 Disneyland or do whatever, they're going to do it as 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.520 a visitor, not as a resident, and that money is 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:11.720 going to be gone for good. 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:14.840 I mean, we might get to a point where Zuckerberg 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.960 might leave and just buy the rest of Kawhi. 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:18.200 Could happen. 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.079 Actually, that's a whole point for the billionaire tax. 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.440 That's been the main opposition that if billionaires leave the 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.800 state or move assets, the state would lose significant income 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.480 tax revenue. There's also opposition all the ballot via Propositions 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:32.559 forty one and forty two. 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.360 Now, this is what's going to be. 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.560 Probably the saving grace of Prop forty possibly not passing, 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.840 is that there are actually three competing measures. It's like 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:48.760 the sports gambling thing and then some because there's Prop 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.839 forty which is the billionaires tax, but then there's Prop 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.320 forty one and Prop forty two, which are back to 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.600 buy the billionaires, which if either of those passing, it's 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:01.920 more votes than the billionaires tax, it invalidates the billionaire's tax. 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.160 It is going to be a very confusing and very 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:06.560 expensive ballots. 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.400 I love the fact that we've turned the election into 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.160 one great, big trick question and then we send ballots 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:13.760 to every dead person in the state. 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.280 Although if you're the SEIU side, you could definitely argue, 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:22.199 look how much money the billionaires are wasting just to 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:23.920 not pay their fair share? 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:26.600 Sick of hearing that term. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.240 The main purpose of Prop forty one is to prevent 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.640 new taxes like the billionaire tax from being excluded from 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.880 the state's annual spending limit, so it would likely limit 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.640 the entirety of the Walt tax revenue from being used 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.440 as intended. As for Prop. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:45.920 Forty two, it says retroactive taxes or prospective taxes on 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.079 any retirement holdings or other There is. 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.640 The question of how you implement this tax because it's 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.160 not a tax on the money that you literally have 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.720 in the bank. It's a tax on not your liquid assets, 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:00.920 but your assets that are tie up in the market. 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.960 So how do you do that assessment because the market 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.800 goes up and down on a daily basis, And how 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.400 exactly do you decide how much they're going to pay, 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:10.360 and how do you get it? 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.920 Well, and think about this too, there's no real way 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.240 to find out what the actual worth is of certain items. 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:23.360 So Zillow says your house is worth one amount, redfin 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:27.920 says your house is worth another amount. Sometimes those numbers 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.440 are very different from one another, but The reality is 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.600 your house is only worth what someone's willing to pay 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.360 for it. So unless you have a house on the 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:43.880 market and you have entertained offers and accepted one, your 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:47.320 idea of what your home is worth maybe very different 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.200 from what the government's idea of what your home is worth. 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.160 So they're going to claim that you cheated on your 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.400 taxes if you value your home at the low end 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:58.880 and they value it on the high end. I mean, 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.120 when my friend Suzanne Summers listed her house here in 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.520 Palm Springs, she initially listed it for something like eleven 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.760 or twelve million dollars, and it sat on the market 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:12.840 for a very long time, and she had to lower 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.440 the price and lower the price and lower the price, 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.080 and I think she finally sold it at six or 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.520 seven million dollars. Well, that's what the home was worth, 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.280 because that's what someone was willing to pay for it. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.920 But if the government steps in and goes would you 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.080 need to pay taxes on it? As if the property 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.760 is worth eleven million dollars, it's not worth eleven million dollars. 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:35.640 You're stealing from that person. 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:43.400 They're personally held assets like the wealth tax are prohibited. 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:46.800 And we reached out to the governor's office for comment 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.680 on the political implications, and we were referred to as 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:53.040 political team, but did not hear back as of airtime. Now, 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.680 both Props forty one and forty two are backed by 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.960 billionaire and Google co founder Sergey Brinn. If either of 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.080 those propositions we get more votes than does Prop forty 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:05.040 in November, they will essentially undo the wealth tax. 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.400 Chris, Okay, Jenny, we thank you for that. 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:11.120 It looks like the strategy is, if you're the billionaires 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:15.720 backing the anti billionaire tax, is confuse the hell out 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.240 of people, so they vote no for everything. And that 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:22.200 was the strategy back when you had two competing sports 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.560 gambling measures because the tribal casinos wanted to cut out 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.320 the regular casinos, and the regular casinos wanted to cut 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.440 out the tribal casinos, and then sports gambling never got 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.280 legalized until cal She said, Nah, it's just legal. 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.560 Well, you know my motto, Randy, what's that? If it works, 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:44.520 do it. It's the John Phillips Show.

Were you 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:13.360 there for that one? 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:15.680 I wasn't there for it, but I've heard the story. 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:20.080 Okay. So Jillian and I were doing an afternoon drive 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:23.239 show together, Jillian Barbery. For those of you who live 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:25.639 in LA you watched her on Good Day LA for years. 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.080 You listened to her on the radio with me. If 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.679 you're in the Bay Area, you saw her on the 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.840 NFL on Fox. She did the weather for their Sunday 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:38.200 morning football program with James Brown and Terry Bradshaw and 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:44.280 Howie Long. Great lady loved Jillian to death. So we 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:48.760 went to the La County Fair and they wanted to 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:52.080 present me with a pig for whatever reason. 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:55.679 I don't know why, because you don't like animals. 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:00.240 I never grew up on a farm. I don't really 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:05.000 have much affinity for farm animals, so of course they 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:06.840 want to bring them around me NonStop. 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:09.680 Well, and this was the producer mindset of your producer. 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:13.520 Now the program director of wmal Lewis Sigura, how can 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.320 we torture John at a remote So. 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:21.199 They present me with a pig at the fair in 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:25.600 front of a bunch of people, And what I did 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:29.240 was act as if I was being introduced to Rosie O'Donnell. 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:34.560 And I don't think the fair people saw that coming. 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:39.080 And the farmer who was presenting me with the pig 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:43.199 didn't know how to react to that. And I just 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:47.600 kept going and going and going. I loved your work 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.400 on A League of their Own. Let me tell you, 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.520 it wasn't Madonna that was the star of that movie. 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:58.200 It was you and the view come on that fight 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:02.359 that you had with Elizabeth Hasse back split screen that 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:08.160 went viral. I even liked you and exit to Eden 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:14.720 when you were wearing the leather and you were the 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:20.719 star of the Flintstones. For heaven's sake, You're bigger than 0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:30.200 John Goodman. And I just kept going and going and going. 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:36.680 Those were the days. Eight hundred two two two five 0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:39.840 two two two is telephone number one. Eight hundred two 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:43.160 two two five two two two. There was a big 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:47.520 shakeup that happened in Sacramento yesterday, and it has nothing 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:50.399 to do with the Sacramento Kings getting a new shooting guard. 0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:54.119 No, the uh, there's been a big change up and 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:59.000 how the Republican caucus is going to operate as Alexandra 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:03.840 Machado is replacing Heathato Mercedo excuse me, is replacing Heath 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:08.200 Flora as the new Republican leader in the Assembly. Johnny, 0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:11.720 what I've heard is there were some people very upset. 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:15.000 Flora decided that, uh, why don't we just go ahead 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:17.200
