He is a Republican 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.880 campaign strategist who you could follow on x at Lonnie Lightner. 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:53.800 That's Lonnie with Y Lonnie Lightner, Welcome, Thank you. 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:57.080 For having me today, and I'm excited to uh watch 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.560 the interview with Don Junior. A McLaughlin pull just came 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:05.120 out and shows him trailing only jd Vance for the 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:09.800 Republican presidential primary in twenty twenty eight. So maybe you'll 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.320 be making some news on that episode. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:16.400 All right, Well, let's start out with the news just 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.560 broke in the California Post. They have a peace out 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:25.040 saying the California Governor Gavin Newsom's pack has a new 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.320 effort to help elect Democrats and spread the gospel of 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:35.079 Newsom by training supporters to implant Newsom's talking points into 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:41.960 family group, text chats, alumni Facebook groups, and other places 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:45.040 where politics isn't typically discussed. 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:47.880 What do you make of this tactic? 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.000 Well, first of all, Gavin, who I see that he's 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:58.079 trailing Kamala Harris by double digits in the latest Democrat poll. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:03.520 But you know, this guy is so fake in phony 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.720 that he has to pay his supporters through the pack 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:13.400 to go out on social media and talk about his 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.680 talking points and his positions. I mean, what a great 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.280 way to get family members and people to stop talking 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.640 to you, first of all, but second of all, it 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.000 just goes to show a larger problem that Newsom has 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:32.119 is fake. He's phony, and he cannot create a movement organically, 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.840 so he has to do it by astroturfing. You know, 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:42.040 Barack Obama and Donald Trump, they created movements organically, and 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.480 whether or not we like their politics, people would walk 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:48.400 through fire for those men. Gavin Newsom has to pay 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.920 supporters to go out and spread the gospel. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:54.400 And I've noticed this too. 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:59.440 Whenever someone is sending me an email that is obviously 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:03.200 a script or, they call into the show and they're 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.400 very scripted. You can tell they're reading from something. For example, 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:12.440 you can tell the inauthenticity almost immediately if you are 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.479 part of a Facebook group with an alumni association where 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.040 I don't know, you talk about things like the basketball 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.359 team and the football team and all of those sorts 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.400 of things, and then all of a sudden, someone starts 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.760 putting out what is obviously a script that is meant 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:35.760 to promote one particular candidate where it obviously doesn't belong. 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.800 I don't think you're going to win anyone over. I 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.920 think you're going to upset everyone. I think everyone's going 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:45.119 to understand that it's not organic, that it's not real, 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.240 and you're going to get yourself ostracized from the group. 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:50.599 Absolutely. 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.800 Back in the Rush Limba days, what did he call 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.400 those callers that called in the seminole callers that he 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.120 would let on the program on open Line Friday every 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.400 once in a while just to regurgitate the talking points. 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:03.200 You know. 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.000 The sad thing is, you know, Gavin Newsom says one 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:06.960 thing and does another. 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:08.760 You know, here's the guy who's. 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:13.760 Reported an income of two million dollars and then he 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.599 has no transparency with his tax returns. He allows a 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.840 few people, a few select journalists to come in and 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.800 take notes. No photographs are no photo copies, you know. 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.040 So I see why Newsom is now paying his supporters 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.640 to go out there and do the blocking and tackling 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:32.000 for him, which he cannot do. 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.800 We had an election in the state of Michigan yesterday 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.080 and the way I see it, the DSA went three 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:42.760 for three, where Rashida Taleb on her Democratic primary. The 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.720 incumbent congresswoman who's part of the DSA and obviously one 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.120 of the most vocal members of the DSA in the 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:53.960 House of Representatives, Shari Theander, who was essentially I'm not 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:55.720 going to call him normal because I don't think there 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:57.920 was anything normal about him, but let's just say he's 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:02.080 a partis a Democrat. He lost his primary to a 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:06.440 DSA challenger, and then they had an open Senate seat 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:10.240 because the incumbent Democratic senator is not running for reelection, 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:15.760 and the let's just call him DSA friendly candidate, Abdul 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:20.240 al Sayed, was able to defeat the partisan Democrat or 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:24.839 the standard Democratic candidate in that race, so he will 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.320 be moving on to the November ballot. When you look 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.279 at all of these results and you know that the 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.360 state of Minnesota has yet to have their primary, where 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:38.320 their US Senate Democratic primary looks kind of similar to 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.919 the one in Michigan, where you have a DSA friendly 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:45.039 candidate running against a pretty standard Democrat. And then you 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:50.160 have in Wisconsin, another neighboring Midwestern state, a big gubernatorial 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.880 primary where there is someone who is way out on 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.960 the left who wants to cancel Thanksgiving among other things, 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.440 who's running in the Democratic primary and leading in the holes. 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:05.200 Do you see a wave of momentum building within the 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.719 Democratic Party in favor of the DSA as you look 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.320 at these results and these primaries on the horizon. 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.880 You know, I know that the pundits were saying that 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.680 abdul l said was supposed to win by a bigger 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.960 margin than he did. You know, I was kind of 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.040 thinking maybe they would spencer prat him with all of 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.920 the mail in ballots, But it seems like he is 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.720 still going to eke out a victory, and a win 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:31.520 is a win. 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:32.520 Oh. 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.840 Yes, they definitely have the momentum on their side. And 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.680 you know, as you mentioned in Wisconsin, the leading candidate 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:47.320 state Rep. Francisca Hong, she is called for abolishing the police, 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.240 canceling Thanksgiving and. 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.040 Closing down Culver's. 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:54.960 And those of us who live in the Midwest, we 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.120 love our custard and those are fighting words for us. 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:00.760 But yes, and was consin. 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:06.440 They are very worried about losing that governor's seat. Now, 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.200 keep in mind Wisconsin in twenty twenty four elected US 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:15.840 Senator Tammy Baldwin, a very liberal US Senator and Donald Trump. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.000 So it is the truest of swing states in the nation. 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:25.160 But with Hong, if she wins next Tuesday, it's over 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.280 for the Democrats. And in Minnesota, I'd like to say 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:32.760 the Minnesota US Senate race is the biggest sleeper race 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:38.280 in the country. You have Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, who 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:42.120 was in charge of overseeing anything fraud related in Minnesota, 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.760 and all of your listeners and viewers know how that 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:50.000 turned out. And she's very much for pro trans rights. 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.160 He is famous for wearing a T shirt that says 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.120 trans Lives Matter with a big knife on the front 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.400 of it. I'm trying to figure out what that symbolizes. 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:05.079 But she would likely be running against Republican Michelle Tafoya. 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.920 Your viewers and listeners may recognize Michelle Tafoya from the 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:13.720 NFL Sideline Reporters. Now, in Minnesota, Republican really has no 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:18.440 business winning because like California, it is very challenging for 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:23.679 Republican to win. But if the Democrats vote for Lieutenant 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:29.280 Governor Peggy Flanagan in hong Republicans could have a very 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:34.199 good night in both Minnesota and Wisconsin in those state 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:38.079 wide races. And let's keep in mind, you know, when 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.160 we're thinking about, you know, not only the twenty twenty 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:45.880 sixth election cycle, but twenty twenty eight. Are these Democratic 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:50.120 socialists going to still be a thing in twenty twenty eight. Well, 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.320 if we were being honest with ourselves, and if the 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.320 Democrats were being honest with each other, they would admit 0:09:55.440 --> 0:10:00.320 that Bernie Sanders out of that presidential nomination in twenty 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.320 sixteen when they called in all the super delegates to 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:07.080 save Clinton's behind. You know, Bernie Sanders was robbed. And 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.800 if Bernie runs in twenty eight, I fully suspect him, 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:15.319 expect him to win the Democratic Party nomination if they 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.400 don't rig the system like they did in twenty sixteen 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.559 into a twenty and to a lesser extent, what they 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:21.720 did to him in twenty twenty. 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:28.360 There's no reliable voting block for Democratic candidates more than 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:34.560 black voters, specifically black females and older black voters. You 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:39.360 look at the results in Michigan, the winning candidate, Abdul 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.439 al Sayed, did not win black voters in that primary 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.640 his opponent. Did you look at the polls in these 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:51.760 other states. The DSA candidate is not winning the black voters. 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.800 The challengers are if you are a movement within a 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:01.280 party that cannot win over the base of the base, 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.480 of the base of the base, the most reliable Democratic voters, 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.160 it seems to me like there's eventually, maybe not now, 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.960 but eventually going to be storm clouds on the horizon 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.960 because if your most loyal customers aren't signing on and 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.640 you're going to force something on them that they don't want, 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.800 it seems like there's going to be rough waters ahead. 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:23.440 Absolutely now. 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.120 Granted, the Democrats Socialists have had a lot of success 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:32.679 in solidly blue districts in New York, in Colorado, and 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:38.080 the people that are voting in these districts, they're highly educated, 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:43.720 you know, rich elites, young rich elites, and it really 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.280 thumbs the nose at a key constituency of the black 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:51.520 vote and to a lesser extent, the Hispanic vote. So 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:55.600 if Democrats in a general election in statewide races such 0:11:55.640 --> 0:12:00.559 as Michigan and Wisconsin cannot hold that coalition together, they 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.640 don't have a snowball shot in hell of winning in 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:04.600 a general election. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:06.520 We see with President Trump. 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:10.920 Now, President Trump did great with Hispanic men, and there's 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.080 an argument to be made whether or not they're with. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.360 Us this cycle. I think they will come home for us. 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:20.280 But there was a huge you know, everybody was talking 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:24.040 about Trump and the black vote. You know, in twenty sixteen, 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.839 when Trump spoke in Detroit in front of a large, 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.160 predominantly black audience, he said, what in the hell do 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.199 you guys have to lose? Take a chance on Trump 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.439 and the last three cycles he's been getting in a 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.120 little bit more of the black vote. And now with 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:45.960 these Democrats socialist candidates just thumbing the nose at the 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:50.760 black voting population, they're in big trouble again. Republicans don't 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.760 have to win these this block, but by them staying 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.840 home or not voting in that race, it is a 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:58.240 win for the Republicans. 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.880 Given what you've seen in these midterm primaries. So far 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.800 as we look beyond twenty twenty six to twenty twenty eight, 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:11.360 do you see a scenario where the Democratic establishment loses 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.720 control of their own primary and an AOC is able 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.760 to win the nomination or a Bernie Sanders is able 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:23.280 to win the nomination and someone who regards themselves as 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.680 a DSA candidate above a Democratic candidate is the one 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.800 that will be the standard bearer for the Party of 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:30.960 Jefferson and Jackson. 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:36.200 Absolutely, you know, I'm sure all of your listeners know 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.760 what the generic ballot is when they talk about, you know, polling, 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.560 and right now the generic ballot, the Democrats lead it 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.959 from three to eight points, which historically is. 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:46.720 Not too bad. 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.160 But when you ask a voter from whom would you 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.679 vote for in Congress, a Republican candidate who supports free 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:58.120 market capitalism or a Democratic candidate who supports big government, 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:03.920 fifty to thirty five percent For the Republican free market 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:08.280 capitalist candidate, you know, Chuck Schumer, I think is dead 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.559 man walking in the US Senate if AOC wants that. 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:13.360 And the latest. 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:17.320 McLaughlin poll it showed for the Democrat nomination. Kamala Harris 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:21.280 twenty eight knew some about seventeen in AOC at ten 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.960 percent didn't It didn't put Bernie in there because they're 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.800 assuming he's too old. But I'm not counting Bernie out. 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:33.880 But the if the Democrats embrace this wing of the party, 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.920 it's over. You know, Joe Rogan is famous for saying 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:41.520 that he is a nineteen nineties liberal now voting for 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:46.560 the Republicans, and they're going to lose even more bigger 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:51.960 working white working class if they embrace these Democrats socialists. 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.520 Sure it may work in New York, it may work 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.720 in you know, parts of New York, in Colorado, but 0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.800 it's not going to work across the country. 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.720 After Abdul al Sayed won the Democratic primary in Michigan, 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.960 one of the first Democrats to come out and endorse 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:12.440 him in the general election was California Governor Gavin Newsom. 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.600 Do you think anyone in the DSA regards him as 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:17.680 being authentic? 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.400 I mean, I would love to be a fly on 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:26.600 the wall with l Sayid's you know, baff just you know, 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.560 laughing and backslapping each other, just thinking what a sucker 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.960 Gavin Newsom is. You know, Newsom's got to sell his 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.680 soul to this jew hater, you know, to try to 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:41.320 get some street cred with the radical base of his party. 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.480 But they're just using Newsome, and you know, it's sad 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.240 that Newsom had to go there, but what more could 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:49.560 we expect from him. 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.480 You've worked with the David Horowitz Freedom Center for many years. 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:57.880 David Horowitz, of course, was a leftist leftist who was 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.840 part of the movement going all the way back to 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.320 the sixties and the seventies, and then converted to be 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.640 a conservative Republican and was really one of the most 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:15.080 important conservative Republicans out there for many, many years. One 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.040 of the things that he would talk about is he 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.560 would talk about how the left's position on Israel has 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:25.160 evolved over time and how hostile they have become to Israel. 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.920 I think David Horowitz would probably be the least surprised 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.640 person on the planet to look at these primary results 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.160 in so many of these early voting states. What message 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.760 do you think he would have to Jewish voters who 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.720 are partisan Democrats, who are used to voting for the 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:44.920 Democratic candidates as they look at a general election ballot 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.600 that includes so many of these people who are so 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:51.520 openly hostile to Israel. And the Jewish community. 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:57.120 Well, you know, David was working with the Black Panthers 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:01.480 in the sixties and seventies. He as a radical leftist 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.120 before there was such a thing. 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.000 And if he's. 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.160 Taught me anything, he's taught me some bad manners when 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:12.359 it comes to, you know, combat politics. What he would 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.000 tell these Jewish Democrats, he would look them in the 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.760 face and he would say, stop being a self hating 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.679 Jew and pull your head out of here, no, you 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.479 know what, and start voting for the party that actually 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:29.480 protects your interest. And he would be very blunt and controversial, 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.200 but he would tell these you know, Jewish Democrats to 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.520 knock it off and stop being self hating Jews. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.280 All right, Lonnie Lightner, Republican Strategistic Straordinaire. You can get 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.639 him on X or follow him on X.

Today, I did bright Bart Radio 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:26.040 with our pal Mike Slater. I have more hits coming up, 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.920 but one of them that I did was I'm Right 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.520 with Jesse Kelly, which airs on the First TV. Jesse 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.920 Kelly's our buddy. He's been on this program many times. 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:38.720 He's a friend of the show. I've done his show 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:43.080 many times, and we thought we'd let you listen in 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:45.159 to what that conversation sounded like. 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:50.360 Here is Johnny on with Jesse Kelly in the selection, 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:53.760 Let's stand for what we believe in a city where 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:57.320 we will finally solve homelessness, a. 0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:03.880 City where we are feelings safe but actually are safe, 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:07.240 in a city that doesn't price us out but actually 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:12.159 counts us in. So let's build Los Angeles together. 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:17.600 Sounds like things are going well. 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:22.080 Joining me now, John Phillips, host of the Accountability podcast 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:26.080 available at Johnny Don't like dot Com? All right, John, Well, 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:30.199 I'm Garon Bass has actually flown to Cuba for communist training. 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:31.840 So how are things in LA? 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:35.240 Because I was just in LA recently and the ATMs 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:38.200 are locked up behind steel and cinderblock, and I don't 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:40.359 know that I've felt that unsafe walking through a city 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:41.840 in America in a very long time. 0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:45.040 Well, it's not just the ATM. So are the shamp 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:47.840 It's a shampoo. I mean, go to the target and 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:52.160 try to buy shampoo. It's behind bulletproof glass. I mean, 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:57.199 in my America, the only thing that should require bulletproof 0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:00.359 glass is anyone making a movie with Alec Baldwin. But 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.280 that's the way we live here in Los Angeles. And 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:06.400 Karen Bass ran on the platform of fixing the homeless 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:10.080 problem in Los Angeles because ever since we took this 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:15.760 permissive attitude about drugs and started emptying the prisons, funny 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:18.320 thing happened and retail theft shot. 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:18.760 Through the roof. 0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:22.840 Homeless encampment started popping up everywhere, and she said it 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:26.199 was her number one priority. Well, we just had a 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:30.359 new homeless count in Los Angeles and the numbers went up. 0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:35.040 And Karen Bass is blaming Donald Trump, She's blaming Gavin 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:38.320 Newsom at the state level, despite the fact that if 0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:42.280 you look at homeless numbers nationally, it's really not that 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:46.480 big of a problem. In many places in California, it's 0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:52.879 spiking in Los Angeles, specifically, it's spiking, and she's blaming 0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:55.639 the federal government because that's what she does. 0:22:56.400 --> 0:22:58.520 Now, that was her number one priority. 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:01.080 If you take that off the table, we have the 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:03.960 fact that we burned down the Palisades with the fires. 0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:06.159 We have a city that is broke. 0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:09.359 We have a police department that does not have the 0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:12.640 personnel they need to police the city on a daily basis, 0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:16.160 let alone prepared for the Olympics when they come to 0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:17.440 town in twenty twenty eight. 0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:19.720 It's a disaster for Karen Bess. 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:21.439 Now, she may think there's light at the end of 0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:23.960 the tunnel, but I think that light is a train 0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:26.240 that's headed right for her. 0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:30.080 Okay, let's focus on this homeless problem, because I honestly 0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:32.800
