It's like, 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.280 for the first time ever, we have a marketing department. 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.080 Eight hundred two two two five two two two is 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.520 the telephone number one eight hundred two two two five 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:16.959 two two two. Well, California Senator Adam Schiff is someone 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.560 who could find himself if Chuck Schumer were to be 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:25.960 bounced by Democrats after this election, could be the next 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:30.200 leader of the Democratic Caucus in the Senate. According to 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.320 everything I've read, it's going to be between him and 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:40.079 the guy from Maryland whose name I can't from, Chris 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:44.200 van Holland. Chris van Holland and Adam Schiff, and I 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.160 hear that race his neck and pencil neck could go 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:52.400 either way. But Schumer doesn't seem to be long for 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.000 the world because there's a big fight going on in 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:59.320 the Democratic Party between the regular Democrats and the DSA. 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.600 And that's the subject that Adam Schiff talked about with 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:03.400 Colonan Nolan. 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.680 Here is Adam Schiff talking about the fight for the 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:12.160 soul of the Democratic Party on news conference on NBC 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:13.799 four this Sunday morning. 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.280 Says the honorable Adam Schiff, Member of the United States. 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.480 Yeah, there's nothing honorable about that guy. He's the jerk 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.359 that tried to get me kicked off of Twitter. Oh. 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.040 You know, there's a lot of people, Johnny, who are 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.480 listening new listeners, people who are only started listening to 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.360 us in the Bay Area a couple of years ago. 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.400 I think you're going to have to expand on exactly 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:39.520 what happened between you, Adam Schiff, and Barbara Ferrair wash. 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:43.120 Your hands often and owi's before eating and after toileting. 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.240 So there was a lawsuit that took place that I 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.240 had nothing to deal with. It was our friend Julie 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.800 hammil and a group of parents that were suing the 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:57.480 county over COVID shutdowns. And over the course of that lawsuit, 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:01.800 I think in discovery they found an email that went 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:08.040 from Barbara Ferrer's office to Adam Shift's office, asking Schiff, 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.200 who was then chairman of the Intelligence Committee, to get 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.240 me kicked off Twitter because I kept calling her a 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.839 fake doctor, and they said that made their life miserable. 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.799 And in fact, I have a clip from Julie Watts 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.640 reading that deposition. 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.560 Doctor Barbara Ferrer is a fake doctor. 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:34.240 And by the way, apparently the goon in Shift's office 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.520 who was the one trying to get me kicked off 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.799 Twitter is now running for city council in Santa Monica 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.760 and whenever people tweet at him that he tried to 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.800 get me kicked off of Twitter, he blocks them. Oh 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.240 my yeah, So it's a touchy subject for him. 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.320 At formerly of the House of representatives formerly in the 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.800 California Legislature. Thank you very much for coming. Hi's grazy 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.720 to be with you. Listen, we have a number of 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.719 things to talk about, including a piece of legislation now 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.760 headed to the President's desk that will impact people in 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:09.839 the Palisades in Altadena. But first, ten years ago, the 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.880 Republican Party was the party of free trade, of rigorous 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:18.400 foreign policy, the smaller government. There were members of that 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:22.479 party who talked about the importance of immigration to the 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:27.039 US economy. That party has changed. Dissuade us of the 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.560 notion that your party is going through the same thing 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.880 with an insurgent wing Democratic Socialists of America who have 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:38.120 appeared to have as much antipathy towards the leaders of 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.279 your party then they do the Republicans. 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:46.719 I think the commontant denominator is people are deeply dissatisfied. 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:49.280 By the way. I have a friend who knows this 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:53.800 guy pretty well. Oh yeah, who told me that after 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.800 Trump started calling him pencil deck, it really really got 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.960 to him and he cheeved the cut of his callers, 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.320 and he changed the style of suits that he wears 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.280 to try to make his neck look different. 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:18.320 Oh boy, that is certainly true of Democrats and Republicans, 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.000 and I think any candidates that come to personify that 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.720 status quo are going to be in trouble. And what 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.159 we're seeing, I think among the progressive successes but also 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:32.640 moderate successes in places like Iowa and New Jersey, in Virginia, 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:36.680 even Hawaii is it's pretty unpredictable. It depends a lot 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.360 on the candidate. But the common denominator, I think is 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:40.320 where you. 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.279 Yeah, the lady who hates Thanksgiving didn't win in Wisconsin. 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:48.279 Can you imagine that she's running against Thanksgiving. 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:53.159 Candidates, whether they're moderate or really progressive. We're championing big 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.320 ideas to improve the quality of life. They're doing well, 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:01.240 and those that are perceived as incrementalists are really struggling, 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.480 and they should. The status quote was just completely unacceptable. 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.279 People can't afford housing, that can't afford gas or groceries 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:12.000 or healthcare. And this has been building now for decades, 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.200 and I don't think it's going to change until we 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.119 change and make the economy work for people again. 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:21.520 Okay, you know what's also interesting about him? Remember back 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.760 when he first became a member of Congress, he beat 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.160 Jim Rogan, who is one of the House impeachment managers 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.480 for Bill Clinton. A guy I actually know who's I 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.720 think is now a retired judge. He became a judge 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.640 in Orange County and now I think he's living in Tennessee. 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:44.040 But that area was very purple when Schiff first got elected, Burbank, Pasadena, Glendale, 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.920 and then as the area got more liberal, so did Scheff. 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.640 But when Schiff first started out, he was a member 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.000 of the Blue Dog Coalition. Do you remember that. 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.520 I mean, he comes from being a prosecutor, so he 0:07:58.680 --> 0:07:59.960 was a law enforcement God. 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:04.160 He was a member of the Blue Dog Coalition, and 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:08.520 then he suddenly dropped out affiliation without ever giving the 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:12.320 reason why. And now he's way out on the left 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.920 wing of the Democratic Party. I think there was never 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.440 there was never a this is why I've changed sort 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:19.760 of thing. 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.480 I think there's a lot of people, especially when you 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:27.920 talk about Congress. Some people may have ideology. Some people 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:32.920 just go with what they think is popular right now, Yeah, and. 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:34.720 I think that's probably what happened with him. 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.640 The Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan could be a 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:43.400 colleague of yours. Abdu AlSi ed he has said no, no, 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:48.079 weapons for Israel, not even defensive weapons. He's been campaigning 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.440 with a podcaster named Hassan Piker Boy. 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.120 That guy's getting all kinds of recognition in the wrong way. 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.240 Oh yeah, well he told the Jews to go back 0:08:56.280 --> 0:09:01.439 to Auschwitz Holy cow. Yeah. No, you want to talk 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:02.880 about generating some heat. 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.800 Well, it's a big ten party. It even needs to 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.280 have racists. 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.560 Who blamed the United States for nine to eleven. He's 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.200 taken that back, but he said that he has more 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.800 faith in Hamas than he does with the Israeli government. 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.600 That seems to be extremely That seems to be toxic 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.040 for Democrats such as yourself. 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.880 Well, if those are Piker's comments, I certainly don't subscribe 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.679 to those ideas. But I'm supporting Aldola say Ed. I 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.400 spoke with him last week. That is a must win 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.800 seat for Democrats. And look, we have a diverse caucus. 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.040 We already have a diverse caucus in the Senate. 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.120 We've got Semites in anti Semites. 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.359 Yeah, just wait till this guy finds out you're Jewish. 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.439 When it comes to Israel and a whole lot of 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.520 other things. I think we need to be a big 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.200 tent party or we're going to be in a permanent minority. 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:59.160 So my view is, let's welcome people into the party, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.960 row our party. Let's make sure that we flip the Congress. 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:08.680 It's existential right now, and we need to have some 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:10.559 kind of constraint check bets. 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.800 Okay, this isn't a big tent though. This is a 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.120 circus tent. If you bring these people. 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:19.920 In president or we're not going to have much of 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.760 a democracy left. So for me, I'm behind. 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:23.240 Okay. 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.600 So in order to save democracy, he wants to get 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.240 in bed with people who want to get rid of 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:31.960 the Senate, get rid of the electoral college, get rid 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:35.480 of the prisons, get rid of the border, let illegal 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:41.160 aliens vote. Am I missing something? Get rid of the Jews? Yeah, 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.040 that too, Abdul. 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.160 I've spoken with him. I'm going to help him. I'm 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.679 helping him already. We just need to win that race, 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:49.840 and we need to flip the Senate. 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:54.400 You have a politics can be so ugly. It doesn't 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.680 matter that so many things that this guy stands for 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.840 are reprehensible. We need power. 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.000 Yeah, he just wants the vote, that's all he cares about. 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:06.440 Surgeon Party, your party that is anti Israel, anti Zionist. 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:09.359 Now we've seen it on the Republican. 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:12.880 And by the way, just politics aside for a second. 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:18.480 That guy Hassan Piker also apparently abuses animals. Did you 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:18.840 see that? 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:19.720 No? 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.200 Yeah, I guess he drags his dog around by the 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.920 tail and they put the videos up online. 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:27.400 Holy cow. 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:28.439 Yeah. 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.320 You know who did a did his podcast and it 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.320 did not go over well? Was Nithia? 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.839 Yeah? Well, who's next? Michael Vick? 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.520 You know who else went on his podcast? And I 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.960 actually watched this thing. I didn't know who Hassan Piker was, 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:46.559 but I was googling Tom Steyer and that was a 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.560 fascinating hour that I'll never get back. 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:50.960 I'm Tom Styr, I'm about to ride the d. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.040 And of course every question is about do you denounce 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.120 everything Israel has ever done? 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.520 I had to be a fascinating interview. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.480 Oh boy, the desperate moves that people will do to 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:10.240 try to capture this young, very very very left wing 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.240 audience that watches that stuff. 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.680 Did Tom Steyer talk about his kicks? 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.280 We're the big ass crisis. He saves that for real? 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:20.080 Ninety two to three. 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.480 You have guys like Tucker Carlson, Are you a little 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:28.040 worried that translates into anti Semitism because we're seeing. 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.880 Isn't it interesting how political spectrums work. At the very 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.920 very very far left, in the very very very far right, 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:35.000 they all hate the Jews. 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:42.200 Yeah, that rhetoric in your party and in their party. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.960 Well, first, I would say, you can criticize Israel without 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.320 being anti Semitic, but we are also seeing at the 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.680 same time an explosion of anti Semitism. I called a 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:56.360 rabbi about a month ago to express my concern over 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.480 the fact that swastik is a painted on the synagogue, 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.160 and he told me, do you realize, Senator, this is 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.720 the second time you called me for this reason in 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:05.440 three years. 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:12.880 Holy cow, that's going to be embarrassing. 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:17.800 Yeah, you think, And he was right. 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.560 I completely forgotten i'd called him once before. That's how 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:22.000 prevalent this is. 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:22.400 Now. 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:24.920 We see these acts up and down the state of California. 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.440 We see him all around the country, indeed all around 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:31.280 the world, and we all need to be speaking out 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.439 about this. Regardless of people's views on net Yahoo or Israel, 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:39.000 or the Middle East or the Iran War. You can 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.640 have strong feelings on all those things, but you also 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.160 ought to be condemning anti Semitism in any form. 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.240 You could have four candidates for president of the Democratic 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:52.640 side who are Jewish in twenty eight the governor of Pennsylvania, 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.960 a senator from Georgia. You could have the former mayor 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.079 of Chicago. Do you think the party can nominate one 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:03.800 of those? And that faced a severe opposition from the 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:05.240 left wing part of the party. 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.720 Oh, I think that certainly a Jewish candidate could be nominated. 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.800 I think a Jewish candidate could be successful. 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.400 Wasn't this whole part of the reason why they didn't 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:18.160 decide to put the guy from Pennsylvania as Kamala's VP choice. 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:23.000 Yeah? And how about in San Francisco. Remember they had 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:26.800 the CEO tax on the ballot in the primary, uh huh, 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.400 and they had a big rally for it, and the 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:34.640 chance started out tax the Ridge, tax the Ridge. It 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:41.400 took about five revolutions before it turned into tax the Jews. 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:46.760 Holy cow, what I'm hoping for? What I'm looking like 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.600 they're singing a nineteen ninety six Michael Jackson song. 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.920 For is really what we saw in Barack Obama, And 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.480 that is we did not know Barack Obama was going 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.800 to be a Barack Obama until he just splashed onto 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:04.800 the scene and generated energy and excitement. I'm looking for 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.120 the candidate who can do that. 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.040 I'm gonna guess he's not looking at Gavin. 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.680 It would be interesting to see if he ends up 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:15.000 getting behind Gavin when Gavin runs for president. I bet 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:15.680 you he doesn't. 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:17.920 Whatever their calling. 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:22.320 Remember when Gavin passed him over to be ag he 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:24.920 wanted that job. He did not want to be a 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.760 US Senator. He wanted to be Attorney General of California, 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:32.720 And Nancy Pelosi made the phone call to Gavin Newsom 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.280 to lobby on his behalf and knew some went with 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:37.720 Bob Bonta over him. 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:43.880 To this day, I cannot understand that appointment. It doesn't 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:48.800 make any sense. Bob Bonta had no background in criminal justice. 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.440 Is the reason Bob BoNT is in that chair because 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.680 he's as compromised as Gavin, and he's covering for him. 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.200 Well, I think it's just as simple as it happened. 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:03.040 Around the same time. I'm as George Floyd and Gavin 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.600 had three appointments to make in a very short period 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.920 of time. The first one was for Secretary of State 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:13.360 because Padilla got elected to the center. Padia got appointed 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.560 to the Senate, so then he appointed Shirley Webber, who 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.600 is Black, to be the Secretary of State. So the 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:23.080 Latins got one and then the Blacks got one, so 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:28.080 he had a third vacancy to fill for Attorney General. 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:32.240 That was when Bessera got appointed to be Secretary of 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.720 Health and Human Services in the Biden administration, so he 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:37.760 gave it to the Asians. He gave it to Bob 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.800 Bota because that was around the same time as the 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.160 recall and he needed to make sure that all the 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.800 ethnic groups would line up and vote for him in 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.160 the recall. 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:52.200 To reiterate my earlier point, politics can be really disgusting. 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:56.320 For religious affiliation. I'm looking for someone that captures the 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.760 imagination American people and meets the moment. That's that's a 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.800 c really what we need in this party. I think 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.520 at the end of the day, hey, there it is. 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.920 He's fond of that. He does it a lot. 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.280 At the end of the day, Democratic voters are pretty pragmatic. 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.800 They want a winner, and I hope someone will make 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:17.200 it clear who that winner. 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:20.560 Is, right DSA candidates such as one we had last. 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.800 Week, the Demarcota and is still shell shocked from that 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:28.119 interview with doctor Francis Gill, the DSA committee member. 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.960 That went all over the place too. I saw people 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.840 posted on that on Facebook from all fifty states. 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:37.760 Oh my atic Socialist of America campaign against campaign in 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.200 favor of defunding police to get rid of police, getting 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:42.840 rid of jails and prisons, getting rid of the border, 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.800 having the federal government take over large corporations. Do you 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.159 think that's a message that would resonate with voters in 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:48.520 the fall. 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:53.160 I don't think those views are really mainstream winning views 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:54.119 for elections. 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:56.960 I don't know Yunisici Hernandez won her reelection. 0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.680 Yeah, she beat his buddy Gil Sidio too. 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.920 I also think that a lot of people running as 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:07.000 DSA candidates don't hold those views. I think they have 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.520 a very different idea of running under that label than 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.720 what's in the DSA party platform. 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:13.680 Then why is it in the platform. 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.360 It's not like we're reading it off of some right 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:20.080 wing website. This is what they say they believe in, 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:21.840 and he goes, yeah, that's fake news. 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.639 And many of them are distancing themselves from the extremity 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:29.760 of those views about closing down prisons and closing police departments, etc. 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:35.000 The kids have a new saying woke one was crazy, Huh. 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.960 I think what we all need to do if we're 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.560 going to be serious about winning this election, is we 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.680 always have to bring it back to the economy. Whatever 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.919 your affiliation within the Democratic Party, we need to be 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.240 talking about how hard it is for people to get by. 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.520 Yeah, but they're not go back and look at what 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:55.439 they talked about in Michigan. They spent a lot of 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.240 time talking about the Jews and not a lot of 0:18:58.280 --> 0:18:59.879 time talking about the economy. 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:04.320 And we take over majorities in the House and senatet. 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.840 I hope we need to keep our focus on that. 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:09.080 In a moment, we're going to hear from Dave Reagan, 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:12.080 the president of SCIU United Healthcare West. He's the person 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:15.320 behind the wealth tax that's on the ballot Proposition forty. 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:17.600 I know you haven't taken a position on that, will you? 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:23.760 And it is a wealth tax, the kind of big, 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.520 bold idea that you talked about earlier that the Democrats 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:27.280 need to embrace. 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.240 I don't know if I'll get involved in the California 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:30.720 Bell measure. 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.160 I don't go what a pansy. 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:36.159 He knows it's a complete train wreck, but is afraid 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.159 to get on the wrong side of the SEIU. 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:42.720 This guy is an ultimate politician. He's not sure which 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:44.840 side is popular, so I'm not going to take a 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:45.680 position on it. 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:47.800 If you'd like to email the show, you can do 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:50.680 so at Johnny don't Like show at gmail dot com. 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:55.119 That's Johnny don't Like Show at gmail dot com and Randy. 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.120 If you want to watch us perform the show live 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.280 and click that like button, you can do all that 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:00.720 at Johnny don't like dot Com. 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.639 It's the ultimate way to experience this show on our 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:07.160 YouTube channel, higher quality than the AM radio and has 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:11.439 a lot better stability than certain streamings.
