Speaker 1: And very happy Tuesday to you.
Speaker 2: At twelve oh six in the West, it's the Giant
Speaker 2: Philip Show, mister Randy Weggs in Culver City.
Speaker 1: Well, John, it sure looks like the machine has found
Speaker 1: their candidate in the California governor's race as the not
Speaker 1: ready for primetime. Speaker of the Assembly, Robert Reeves announced
Speaker 1: today that he's endorsing Javier Bakeria.
Speaker 3: The Secretary of Health and Education is over.
Speaker 4: I nominated Javier Bakaria.
Speaker 2: And it looks like he's not the only ones because
Speaker 2: the bach is getting a bump.
Speaker 1: Let's see what Revis had to say in a video
Speaker 1: he shot with Bakaia. Who Bakia's new look is, Hey,
Speaker 1: I ditched the glasses for contacts.
Speaker 5: California is under threat.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, the violence are starting every day.
Speaker 5: The Trump administration is coming after our healthcare.
Speaker 1: YEP. This is totally about local issues. And they never
Speaker 1: miss an opportunity, do they?
Speaker 5: Our families, our values. There's no time to learn on
Speaker 5: the job. We need a governor who's going to be
Speaker 5: ready to fight back on day one. That's why I'm
Speaker 5: proud to endorse Javier Vassera for governor.
Speaker 1: As a US Oh we had a swell into drums.
Speaker 1: The people who produce these videos are the biggest hacks
Speaker 1: in the industry, and they charged them of fortune to
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 5: As US Health Secretary, he expanded healthcare coverage. As California's
Speaker 5: attorney general, he sued the Trump administration one hundred and
Speaker 5: twenty two times.
Speaker 1: Woo, it is all about Donald Trump. Yep.
Speaker 5: He defended Obamacare, he defended our dreamers, he defended working people,
Speaker 5: and he won.
Speaker 1: Did he prosecute anybody? Yeah? How's crime doing in California?
Speaker 1: And he won?
Speaker 5: Thirty years of leadership, millions of California protected and defended.
Speaker 1: We have a strong What did he accomplish in his
Speaker 1: twenty years in Congress?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Nobody knows. Why did Nancy Pelosi hate him?
Speaker 5: We have a strong democratic field for governor, but right
Speaker 5: now we.
Speaker 1: Need fact check define strong.
Speaker 2: There are pieces in just about every national publication about
Speaker 2: what a train wreck this field is.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how you can say this.
Speaker 5: We have a strong democratic field when.
Speaker 1: Up until a week and a half ago, the front
Speaker 1: runner is an accused rapist.
Speaker 5: We have a strong democratic field for governor, but right
Speaker 5: now we need someone ready on day one Javier Bassera.
Speaker 6: Is that leader, mister speaker, thank you.
Speaker 1: Oh he's in the spot too.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, well, if he's going to be given all
Speaker 2: this love, he might as well be there to accept it.
Speaker 1: But this is Besarah two point zero because he doesn't
Speaker 1: have glasses on.
Speaker 6: Mister speaker, thank you. Like so many Californians, you and
Speaker 6: I come from immigrant families.
Speaker 1: We have lived. Has there been one even iota of
Speaker 1: California issues in this ad?
Speaker 2: Go back to that original interview that he did with
Speaker 2: Alex Michaelson where he was woefully unprepared to talk about
Speaker 2: any California subjects.
Speaker 1: This guy doesn't know the basics.
Speaker 7: Scrub it.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, though. It doesn't matter that he doesn't
Speaker 1: know anything, or he doesn't really have a track record,
Speaker 1: or that he you know, Nancy Pelozzi thinks he's a joke.
Speaker 1: He'll play nice, and Katie Porter and Tom Steyer won't,
Speaker 1: so they need somebody to play nice. That is true.
Speaker 1: We have lived the California dream. It's not going to
Speaker 1: be mayhe Mayheen won't play nice. He went against them
Speaker 1: on thirty six. They don't like him, No, they don't.
Speaker 6: We have lived the California dream, the same dream that's
Speaker 6: under attack by Donald Trump and his cronies. There's not
Speaker 6: a moment to lose.
Speaker 1: As governor.
Speaker 6: I will be ready on day one to bring down
Speaker 6: costs and to defend.
Speaker 1: By the way, if you're hearing that clipping, it's because
Speaker 1: in the ad that they produced, but Sarah is speaking
Speaker 1: so much louder than Revus it actually overblows the microphone.
Speaker 6: And to defend everything we love about California.
Speaker 1: So let's get to work there, you go. Revus endorses Besera,
Speaker 1: and neither one of them want to talk about any
Speaker 1: issues facing California. Scrub it.
Speaker 2: Scrub it eight hundred two two two five two two
Speaker 2: two is telephone number one eight hundred two two two
Speaker 2: five two two two. Well, despite the fact that he
Speaker 2: doesn't seem to know much about the state of California,
Speaker 2: Javier Bakaria is seeing a boost in the polls.
Speaker 1: First we saw that Paul that was commission by Inside
Speaker 1: California Politics, that poll which actually qualified Bisera for the
Speaker 1: debate tomorrow that's going to be on KTLA in southern
Speaker 1: California and cron for in the Bay Area and Fox
Speaker 1: forty in Sacramento. Now we have the third version of
Speaker 1: the poll that was commissioned by the California Democratic Party
Speaker 1: to kick all the other candidates out, and Bakaria's got
Speaker 1: to bump in that one too. For more, here's ABC
Speaker 1: ten in Sacramento.
Speaker 8: New pole you mentioned today from the California Democratic Party
Speaker 8: shows former US Secretary of State in California Attorney General
Speaker 8: Javier Bassea was he.
Speaker 1: Secretary of state? That's not what Biden said. That's also
Speaker 1: not what the job was for Secretary of Health and Education?
Speaker 9: Is over?
Speaker 8: I nominated Javier Bakaria.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows what job this guy had. There is so
Speaker 1: much confusion going on right now in this state.
Speaker 8: Former US Secretary of State inn Nope.
Speaker 1: You're not even warm. Well. The people over at ABC
Speaker 1: ten are probably worried that if that tang in next
Speaker 1: our merger happens, that they're all losing their jobs, so
Speaker 1: they might be a little stressed. The robots won't get
Speaker 1: that wrong.
Speaker 8: State and California Attorney General Javier Bassera got the largest
Speaker 8: bump following Eric Swalwell's resignation, and that wasn't the only
Speaker 8: change the California I love it.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows what Bessarah did in the Biden administration. Nobody,
Speaker 1: what does that tell you about him?
Speaker 8: The California Democratic Party published a poll earlier this month
Speaker 8: after surveying likely California voters at the time. It showed
Speaker 8: the two leading Republican candidates, Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco,
Speaker 8: tied for first at fourteen percent each, with then Congressman
Speaker 8: Eric Swalwell leading the des with twelve percent.
Speaker 2: I'll have times have changed. I wonder what he's up
Speaker 2: to these days. Has anyone seen him? He's not at
Speaker 2: Steve Klubeck's house anymore.
Speaker 1: Noop.
Speaker 8: Since then, President Trump announced his endorsement of Hilton, and
Speaker 8: the California Republican Party declined to endorse a candidate at
Speaker 8: their convention for the crowd.
Speaker 1: Their convention did the same thing that Democrat convention did,
Speaker 1: where the delegates said, now we can't get to a
Speaker 1: consensus here, we'll take a pass.
Speaker 8: For the crowded Democratic field.
Speaker 4: Certainly, the race was in many ways sort of reset
Speaker 4: two weeks ago.
Speaker 8: That's Rusty Hicks, Chair of the California.
Speaker 2: He sounds like a robot two. Can we play that
Speaker 2: up against robot Barbara Ferrara, Let's see yes, I can
Speaker 2: do that. Let's see Ferrara. So I have to got
Speaker 2: a Ferrara robot and I have to find it. There
Speaker 2: we go.
Speaker 1: So here is Here is Rusty Hicks from the californ
Speaker 1: Democratic Party.
Speaker 4: Certainly the race was in many ways sort of reset
Speaker 4: two weeks ago, and here is Babs.
Speaker 1: I don't like wearing a mask.
Speaker 4: I find it annoying.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you. Maybe the robots have already taken over.
Speaker 4: Certainly, the race was in many ways sort of reset
Speaker 4: two weeks ago.
Speaker 8: That's Rusty Hicks, chair of them.
Speaker 2: But even two weeks ago, it's like a week and
Speaker 2: a half ago. Boy, time flies by.
Speaker 8: That's Rusty.
Speaker 1: I feel like we've been talking about this governor's race
Speaker 1: for three years.
Speaker 8: That's Rusty Hicks, chair of the California Democratic Party, talking
Speaker 8: about Eric Swalwell dropping out of the race and resigning
Speaker 8: from Congress amid serious accusations of sexual assault and harassment,
Speaker 8: which Swalwell has denied. Hick spoke with journalists Monday after
Speaker 8: the party released their newest poll, apparently showing Trump's endorsement
Speaker 8: of Hilton moving the needle. He now leads with sixteen percent.
Speaker 8: His fellow Republican room at fourteen percent and with swallwell
Speaker 8: out of the race. Javier Baseerra jumped nine percentage points
Speaker 8: to thirteen percent.
Speaker 1: The Besserah bump.
Speaker 2: Nine to thirteen However, what's most important about this poll
Speaker 2: is that it has both of the Republicans in first
Speaker 2: and second place, which means the Democrats haven't gotten gotten
Speaker 2: out of the way of their problem.
Speaker 1: Well almost, I believe in this poll Hilton's in first,
Speaker 1: but Bianco is tied with Stire.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it doesn't matter which pole you look at.
Speaker 2: Republicans are within the margin of era first and second,
Speaker 2: and all of them still.
Speaker 8: After previously polling in the single digits.
Speaker 4: And is now tied for third with Tom Steyer. And finally,
Speaker 4: more voters are tuning in are beginning to tune into
Speaker 4: the race for governor, as the undecided rate has fallen
Speaker 4: from twenty four percent to twenty percent.
Speaker 2: Boy, he is just a whole lot of enthusiasm. He
Speaker 2: must be fun at a party.
Speaker 4: All of these are positive signs for ensuring that a
Speaker 4: strong Democrat moves into the general election.
Speaker 1: But it seems like Rusty could use some WD forty,
Speaker 1: some B twelve.
Speaker 4: All of these are positive signs for ensuring that a
Speaker 4: strong Democrat moves into the general election. But in my view,
Speaker 4: it's not enough and our work is not done.
Speaker 1: Okay, so who you going after next? Okay? Betty Yee
Speaker 1: gets some virtually nothing.
Speaker 2: Think about this. She was pulling at what one percent? Yes, okay,
Speaker 2: she was raising and spending no money. I don't believe
Speaker 2: I ever saw a Betty Yee commercial on television.
Speaker 1: Did you? She had one commercial that came out about
Speaker 1: a week and a half ago, and I know because
Speaker 1: they premiered it on an interview that she did with
Speaker 1: Marletteis on the Fox local stream where it was a
Speaker 1: bunch of kids saying we like Betty Yee.
Speaker 2: Okay, I understand that she made them, but did you
Speaker 2: actually see it on television outside of that one news
Speaker 2: report that they didn't pay for.
Speaker 1: I don't think they did a media buye very expensive.
Speaker 2: And she has virtually no name ID, which means whoever
Speaker 2: is being polled who says they're voting for Betty Yee
Speaker 2: is voting for her for one of two reasons. One,
Speaker 2: they can identify that she's a female, and there are
Speaker 2: certain voters out there, particularly Democratic women, who always vote
Speaker 2: for the female and she has an obviously Asian name,
Speaker 2: her name will still be appearing on the ballot, which means,
Speaker 2: if she's actively campaigning or not, she's going to receive
Speaker 2: one percent, and it's going to come from people who
Speaker 2: want to vote for a woman or want to vote
Speaker 2: for an Asian.
Speaker 1: It's funny, so her drop what's that? It's funny that
Speaker 1: you say that, because yesterday when Betty E dropped out
Speaker 1: before the announcement, she sat down with our friend Julie
Speaker 1: Watts of CBS News Investigates and she kind of went
Speaker 1: after the Asians for not supporting her.
Speaker 2: But whatever vote she gets, that's why she's getting it,
Speaker 2: which means, whether she's actively campaigning or not, that one
Speaker 2: percent is still going in her column. So this doesn't
Speaker 2: get Rusty Hicks out of his problem. He needs someone
Speaker 2: with more support to drop out.
Speaker 1: She also said that she had commissioned polls and they
Speaker 1: found that issues like competency and experience nobody cared about
Speaker 1: in this race. Yeah, well, welcome to the party.
Speaker 8: He repeated his call for low polling Democrats to drop out, applauding.
Speaker 1: Yes, let's get thermined out with his less than one percent.
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be the same thing with less than
Speaker 2: one percent, He's still gonna get less than one percent,
Speaker 2: whether he's campaigning or not.
Speaker 1: At this point, the knives are coming out for either
Speaker 1: Katie or Stuff and Steyer's got a lot of money.
Speaker 2: Oh, the next hit is coming for our girl someday,
Speaker 2: any day is gonna happen.
Speaker 3: You can.
Speaker 2: Because if you take her out of the picture, that
Speaker 2: frees up ten percent of the electorate consisting entirely of angry.
Speaker 8: Karen's applauding Betty Yee for her decision to drop out
Speaker 8: of the race Monday.
Speaker 4: I commend her leadership and her commitment to California.
Speaker 1: And I hope I thought when she dropped out, every
Speaker 1: single candidate writes this lovely thing about how great and
Speaker 1: competent and wonderful she is in a policy wonk, and
Speaker 1: nobody's supported her.
Speaker 4: Nope, And I hope other candidates will consider her example
Speaker 4: because the reality is that there are sixty candidates on
Speaker 4: the ballot.
Speaker 1: There are, that is true. Actually it's sixty one.
Speaker 2: And again, just because they're not actively campaigning doesn't mean
Speaker 2: they won't appear on the ballot. Betty Yee will be
Speaker 2: on the ballot. Eric Swalwell will be on the ballot.
Speaker 4: There are still two primary Republicans and now six primary Democrats.
Speaker 8: Ye's announcement was an emotional one, citing a lack of
Speaker 8: finances and.
Speaker 4: Support this journey.
Speaker 8: It is ending today that I work will not end.
Speaker 1: As for the the d Lulu finally ended in reality
Speaker 1: set in that it was never going to happen for
Speaker 1: Betty Yee.
Speaker 2: Well, what's wild is it was always in the cards
Speaker 2: for one of the candidates in the single digits to
Speaker 2: start doing better. It looks like that candidate is going
Speaker 2: to be Besarah, but she had as good a chance
Speaker 2: as any of them as being that person.
Speaker 8: As for the remaining candidates, expect to see more ads
Speaker 8: in this race as the dollars roll in.
Speaker 1: How can we even have more ads? Every spot in
Speaker 1: a break is dire? What's going to happen to flow
Speaker 1: from progress.
Speaker 8: V The latest numbers from the Secretary of State's office
Speaker 8: show billionaire Tom Steyer remains the top fundraiser, mostly his
Speaker 8: own money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't count, that is not fundraising. No, that
Speaker 2: is entirely his own money. Do you see the Bernie
Speaker 2: people endorse stire of course, the people who believe that
Speaker 2: being a millionaire should be illegal a billionaire. Excuse me
Speaker 2: get behind the billionaire, followed.
Speaker 8: By San Jose Mayor, Matt Mayhon and Hilton.
Speaker 1: Jim Cooper just endorsed mayhean that's not going to get
Speaker 1: him anything.
Speaker 8: Yep, but Bossea is gaming ground on rivals here. His
Speaker 8: rate of overall fundraising is growing faster than almost everyone
Speaker 8: in the field, trailing only stier.
Speaker 2: Candidates are beginning to spend way Via Gosa hasn't even
Speaker 2: gott to mention in this story. No boy, they disrespected him.
Speaker 4: Candidates are beginning to spend their resources, and voters are
Speaker 4: beginning to pay attention and new in different ways.
Speaker 1: They're paying attention because of the sex scandal. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: people are interested in that now.
Speaker 8: At this point in the race, candidates' names will remain
Speaker 8: on the ballots even if they drop out. That means
Speaker 8: voters will see Ye's and Swalwell's names. Democratic Party leaders
Speaker 8: say they're working to educate voters on who has dropped
Speaker 8: out Alex.
Speaker 1: All right, Becky, what are they going to have put
Speaker 1: out a mailer? Hey, just so you know, Swalwell's an
Speaker 1: accused rapists.
Speaker 2: Right next to a bunch of cute ponds for Del Taco.
Speaker 2: All right, we know that there are a bunch of
Speaker 2: debates that will be taking place soon, including one next
Speaker 2: week that Randy and I are going to that'll be
Speaker 2: in Claremont.
Speaker 1: So here's our question to you.
Speaker 2: At eight hundred two two two five two two two
Speaker 2: one eight hundred two two two five two two two,
Speaker 2: if you are given the opportunity to ask a question
Speaker 2: to any of the candidates at one of these upcoming debates,
Speaker 2: what be you can ask that question to any of
Speaker 2: the Republicans Steve Hiltner, Chad Bianco, You could ask your
Speaker 2: question to any of the Democrats Steyer, Porter besserah Vira Gosa,
Speaker 2: Mayhan Thurmann. It could be a question that you generally
Speaker 2: have interested in the answer. You want to know what
Speaker 2: they would do on issue X, or maybe it has
Speaker 2: to do with their character or temperament, and you want
Speaker 2: to know if they're fit to be governor of California.
Speaker 1: You're out of my shot. Hint, hint.
Speaker 2: Kind of calls you want here, Johnny, what question would
Speaker 2: you ask the candidates if given the opportunity at one
Speaker 2: of the upcoming debates eight hundred two two two five
Speaker 2: two two two one, eight hundred two two two five
Speaker 2: two two two, eight hundred two two two five two
Speaker 2: two two is a telephone number one eight hundred two
Speaker 2: two two five two two two. A bunch of debates
Speaker 2: will be coming a with all of the candidates for
Speaker 2: governor appearing on stage. If you had the opportunity to
Speaker 2: ask a question to any of them, what would it be?
Speaker 2: Eight hundred two two two five two two two one,
Speaker 2: eight hundred two two two five two two two, eight
Speaker 2: hundred two two two five two two two easy jellphone
Speaker 2: number one eight hundred two two two five two two two.

Speaker 2: That's Johnny don't like show at gmail dot com and
Speaker 2: Randy ere monitoring In the mail bag, Kevin writes in
Speaker 2: at Johnny don't like show at gmail dot com With
Speaker 2: a question for a candidate, I would ask Katie Porter
Speaker 2: the following, can you smell what the rock is cooking?
Speaker 5: You can smell right how.
Speaker 2: That would be an interesting question from one Dwayne the
Speaker 2: Rock Johnson and Randy If you were to go back
Speaker 2: into the vault and listen to a past episode on
Speaker 2: Katie Porter. That's easy to do.
Speaker 1: Oh, why would you ever want to do that? He
Speaker 1: Search for the John Phillips Show. Wherever you get your
Speaker 1: podcasts please, whether it's the Apple podcast app, Little d
Speaker 1: iHeart no Spotify, search for the John Phillip Show, hit

Speaker 11: Winter Winter Chicken Dinner.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: If you were given the opportunity to ask a question
Speaker 2: any of the candidates in one of the upcoming debates,
Speaker 2: what would it be? Eight hundred two two two five
Speaker 2: two two two. Let's begin with Randy and Mission via
Speaker 2: ho Randy, Hello.
Speaker 11: Good afternoon. I would ask the candidates if they presently
Speaker 11: support top thirteen and if they will continue to defend
Speaker 11: a tax on Prop thirteen for everyone, including seniors and Republicans.
Speaker 2: That is a very interesting question because Tom Steyer has
Speaker 2: put the split role at the top of his to
Speaker 2: do list. He says that if he gets elected that
Speaker 2: that's one of the first things he will do as governor.
Speaker 2: He'll call for a special election, and he wants to
Speaker 2: blow up half of Proposition thirteen.
Speaker 1: Now, there's only one reason to do that.
Speaker 2: You blow up half of it so you can go
Speaker 2: get the second half later. Because the people who hate
Speaker 2: Prop thirteen hate all of it, they don't hate portions
Speaker 2: of it. I would imagine that many on the Democratic
Speaker 2: side of the aisle believe the same way as him,
Speaker 2: maybe all of them except Matt Maye Hand and potentially
Speaker 2: Antonio Viragosa. I would assume that both Republican candidates support
Speaker 2: Prop thirteen, but that's just an assumption. I would love
Speaker 2: to get them on the record. So that's an excellent question.
Speaker 11: Pull their toes to the fire.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you for the call, sir. Let's go
Speaker 2: to Caleb in Rancho Cucamonga. Caleb, Hello, all.
Speaker 12: Right, I'd like to ask both the Republican candidates how
Speaker 12: they plan to get their economic agenda past all those
Speaker 12: crazy people in Sacramento.
Speaker 2: That's a very good question, because the state legislature would
Speaker 2: likely still be controlled by super majorities in both the
Speaker 2: Assembly and the Senate. They clearly don't see the world
Speaker 2: the same way as either Republican So how is it
Speaker 2: that you would govern when you have a hostile legislature
Speaker 2: who can override your vetos.
Speaker 12: And they can kick them out if they don't like
Speaker 12: their vetos, they can expel them like they're trying with Trump.
Speaker 2: My guess, and this is just a guess. Again, this
Speaker 2: would be an excellent question to ask the candidates. Wou'd
Speaker 2: be that the Republicans would look for moderate Democrats in
Speaker 2: the mold of Matt Mahon, and they would try to
Speaker 2: come up with a governing majority that would allow them
Speaker 2: to get at least some of their agenda through. If
Speaker 2: you go back to Alaska politics, for example, that's what
Speaker 2: Sarah Palin did. Even though Alaska is a Republican state,
Speaker 2: there were two factions of Republicans. There was the Old Guard,
Speaker 2: the establishment, and there was the New Guard, the reformers.
Speaker 2: And what she did was she peeled off some of
Speaker 2: the reformer Republicans and the Democrats and created a governing majority.
Speaker 2: And that's how she ruled in Alaska. And that really
Speaker 2: upset the Republican machine because she didn't have to go
Speaker 2: through them to get her agenda through. She just went
Speaker 2: around them by creating her own coalition. All right, thank
Speaker 2: you for the call, sir. Let's go to Robert in
Speaker 2: San Jose.
Speaker 7: Robert, Hello, Yeah, I'd like to ask stire what his
Speaker 7: logic is behind making grocery stores suffer and all these
Speaker 7: you know, commercial property owners suffer. I mean these that
Speaker 7: confiscatory is mundonniy we were, you know, but I'd ask
Speaker 7: him straight to his face, what's his logic. He seems
Speaker 7: like a scarcity oligarch creator who's fully arrogant. The guy
Speaker 7: is insane. And when he's not helping anybody, we're trying
Speaker 7: to hold onto our homes here, you know. And this
Speaker 7: this mind virus of taxing property is just getting way
Speaker 7: past what the bill of rights, you know, the Madisonian
Speaker 7: tradition of himinent domain. We should all be fairly compensated
Speaker 7: not to seize our property, and we can't have seized
Speaker 7: just by taxing too. That's just this is this is crazy,
Speaker 7: But he seems like he's all in on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what does he think that going to do to inflation?
Speaker 2: If all of a sudden, every mom and pop shop,
Speaker 2: every convenience store, every place where commerce is commenced, if
Speaker 2: they suddenly have to start paying property taxes on property
Speaker 2: that they own, above and beyond what Prop thirteen sets
Speaker 2: it at. What does he think is going to happen
Speaker 2: to prices? Prices are going to go through the roof.
Speaker 2: And you look at let's just say jewelry stores, for example.
Speaker 2: How often do jewelry stores make the blotter because they
Speaker 2: get robbed and then we find out they have no insurance.
Speaker 2: So whatever it is that's stolen from their store is
Speaker 2: just something that no longer exists, and they're not compensated
Speaker 2: for it. What are they paying an insurance? The ones
Speaker 2: that do have insurance, it just goes through the roof.
Speaker 2: Every time they get a new policy, it goes up
Speaker 2: and up and up and up and up. They can
Speaker 2: barely hang on as it is. If all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: you're going to at their property taxes up too. I
Speaker 2: don't see how you expect these stores to hang on.
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, you like inflation actually infects the insurance market.
Speaker 7: It's already matched out. You know, every policy. I don't
Speaker 7: know why they don't want to get rid of the
Speaker 7: infectors in the economy. So you could gauge a million
Speaker 7: people on let's say a healthcare plan. That policy is
Speaker 7: a lot cheaper or helping the hell the homeless policy?
Speaker 7: Which would it is the allotment that you put to this,
Speaker 7: it has to be a lot smaller amount. If you
Speaker 7: get rid of inflation, you can actually offer it. But
Speaker 7: he wants to create inflation. He doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 7: He's not he wants to do all these good things,
Speaker 7: but he's uh, you know, conflict of interest as far
Speaker 7: as you know, inflating the cost of every one of
Speaker 7: these things up, you know. So you know, I think
Speaker 7: we're gonna.
Speaker 2: I'll also say this, and I don't want to knock
Speaker 2: anyone's profession because we all do what we do. We
Speaker 2: all pay taxes, we all have to pay our mortgage,
Speaker 2: we all have to pay our bills. There's a difference
Speaker 2: between creating something. If you own a widget factory, or
Speaker 2: you have a tire shop, or you create something for
Speaker 2: someone I don't know what it is. You beanie babies
Speaker 2: on the Internet, whatever it is, you provide a service
Speaker 2: for someone else and something is created based off of
Speaker 2: your labor. What Tom Steyer did to make his money
Speaker 2: was just moving money around. And there seems to be
Speaker 2: a difference in the attitudes that people have when they
Speaker 2: make a gazillion dollars moving money around as opposed to
Speaker 2: creating something. If you create something, you have to deal
Speaker 2: with regulations, You have to deal with insurance, you have
Speaker 2: to deal with crime, you have to deal with regulation
Speaker 2: and electeds and all of that. And if all you're
Speaker 2: doing is sitting in front of a laptop computer and
Speaker 2: you're clicking buttons and you're moving money around, Yeah, you
Speaker 2: can make a ton of money if the stock market
Speaker 2: is going in the right direction and you have enough
Speaker 2: money to play with, Oh boy, can you make it rain.
Speaker 2: But that doesn't necessarily mean you understand how the world works.
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean you can sympathize, and you can I
Speaker 2: don't know even just comprehend what a small business owner
Speaker 2: is going through on a daily basis. And I really
Speaker 2: get the impression that that man is clueless. But he
Speaker 2: thinks that because he made a billion dollars he's brilliant
Speaker 2: when in reality he has no idea what's going on
Speaker 2: in this state. Let's not forget Randy who was it?
Speaker 2: Was it the interview with Ashley Zuvala when he was
Speaker 2: asked what grade would you give Gavin Newsom? And his
Speaker 2: answer was, oh, I haven't paid enough attention to it
Speaker 2: to give it an answer to that question.
Speaker 1: I haven't really even following it. And he wants the job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's go to Stuart in CLB.
Speaker 13: Stuart, Hello, thank you John Ran for taking my call.
Speaker 13: I'd like to have a quick roarsoch test of the
Speaker 13: Democratic candidates to see who's far off the complete radar
Speaker 13: of sanity. So I would ask them who a the
Speaker 13: Democrats would continue the policy of Gavin Newsom paying for
Speaker 13: transgendered surgeries of criminals imprison and illegal aliens. That would
Speaker 13: be the question to determine the sanity of each of them.
Speaker 2: That would certainly be an interesting question. My guess is
Speaker 2: all of the Democrats except for Mayhan or via Regosa
Speaker 2: would say yes. Via Regosa and Mayhan would say no,
Speaker 2: and both Republicans would say no. But maybe this is
Speaker 2: the new plank of the Democratic Party. It's the update
Speaker 2: to the old ways of doing business. When first it
Speaker 2: was a chicken in every pot, then it was a
Speaker 2: car in every garage, and now it's to Richard for
Speaker 2: every illegal alien.
Speaker 7: Oh boy, one.
Speaker 13: Other point, quickly, if ben Yee is not running anymore,
Speaker 13: can Kanye West, who's also known as Ye take her spot,
Speaker 13: because being a bipolar anti Semite might be a winning
Speaker 13: formula for the Democrats.
Speaker 1: They switch.
Speaker 13: Huh the Ye switch.
Speaker 1: It could happen. Thank you for the call, sir. This
Speaker 1: man what the rock is eight hundred two two two
Speaker 1: five two two two? He is a jellphone number? What
Speaker 1: eight hundred two two two five two two two The.
Speaker 2: Fixed California hour coming up after the news at one
Speaker 2: Fox News is Trace Gallagher Joints y, So make sure
Speaker 2: you stick around with that. Let's go back to the
Speaker 2: phones and welcome Craig in Los Gatos.
Speaker 14: Craig, Hello, Hey, John, I've been content our trying to
Speaker 14: contact Hilton's campaign because they're missing as teachers. I'm a
Speaker 14: teacher and the unions have just totally thrown the ball
Speaker 14: in on this one because the fraudulent behavior here in
Speaker 14: the state is taking so many millions out of the
Speaker 14: general fund, which means that they can offer less for
Speaker 14: the districts. Now, if that were included, then they can
Speaker 14: give more to the districts. They may not have to
Speaker 14: close all the schools. Teachers, more importantly, could be offered
Speaker 14: maybe a percentage more in their salary offerings. And instead,
Speaker 14: what we're doing, we're telling the parents. And I object
Speaker 14: to this telling parents it is in their court to
Speaker 14: pay more property tax. We even used to have to
Speaker 14: call them to pass bonds. And I'm going, wait a minute,
Speaker 14: it's not the parents, it's the fraudulent behavior. But when
Speaker 14: you contact your local state rep here in California, they
Speaker 14: will not, I repeat, not even comment on the whole
Speaker 14: issue of the fraudulent behavior. They figured that we're just
Speaker 14: going to raise property tax to replace the money that's
Speaker 14: being taken out of the general fund because of the
Speaker 14: you know, it was even on a local channel here
Speaker 14: with the ghost students, et cetera, et cetera, the hospices.
Speaker 14: You know, it just goes on and on. But they're
Speaker 14: missing out on the teachers. That's the part that I
Speaker 14: just don't understand. I've called my union and saying, why
Speaker 14: aren't you telling the rest of the you know, the
Speaker 14: teachers to start calling their reps and asking for more accountability,
Speaker 14: which means more money in the general fund, which means
Speaker 14: more money for teachers. It's a it's such a no brainer.
Speaker 2: I think the working assumption and I'm just making the job,
Speaker 2: but I think their assumption is that the waste, fraud
Speaker 2: and abuse is going to the right people, and if
Speaker 2: you actually blew the whistle on it, it would be
Speaker 2: friendly fire.
Speaker 14: I agree with that. There has to be a reason
Speaker 14: why they won't tackle it. You know, you're totally right.
Speaker 14: It's going into spots that benefits some of them and
Speaker 14: they don't want to touch it. You're right, all right.
Speaker 2: Thank you for the call, sir, We appreciate it. Let's
Speaker 2: go to Randy Admission Viejo Randy, Hello.
Speaker 11: Hello, I was calling to see if any of the
Speaker 11: governors would defund California high speed rail, veto it, if
Speaker 11: they want to spend more money on it, to see
Speaker 11: if we who's really still behind high speed rail?
Speaker 14: Here?
Speaker 2: What's wild and this was before Mayhan got into the rays,
Speaker 2: but what was wild was many of the Democratic candidates
Speaker 2: had essentially the position that you just outlined as the
Speaker 2: official position, and then they went in front of the
Speaker 2: unions in the Central Valley and they changed course and
Speaker 2: the answer became, Yeah, I want to keep high speed rail,
Speaker 2: but the way to get away from all the fraud
Speaker 2: is to put me in charge. And if I was
Speaker 2: in charge, this project would actually get done. And that's
Speaker 2: the position that they took, which, of course is bunk
Speaker 2: because if Jerry Brown is smarter than all of them,
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom is probably smarter than all of them, they
Speaker 2: couldn't get it done. If they can't get it done,
Speaker 2: how can the tallest building in Omaha get it done.
Speaker 11: Yeah, we're just throwing good money after bad on that deal.
Speaker 1: That was a job to begin with, no question about it.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call, sir. Let's go to Frank
Speaker 1: in Redwood City.
Speaker 3: Frank, Hello, Hey, Just two questions I want to ask
Speaker 3: the candidates. One is, what would you do different than
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom has done? And as far as tax all
Speaker 3: the legal immigrants coming into the country, how would you
Speaker 3: answer that without trying to blame Donald Trump? And the
Speaker 3: second question I would ask is do you support the
Speaker 3: Nick Shirley Act and why would you support it if
Speaker 3: he's trying to locate fraud and help with eliminating fraud.
Speaker 3: Those are my two questions. I asked the candidates, Well.
Speaker 2: What you're asking for is the impossible, which is to
Speaker 2: get them to talk about California without referencing Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: And they can't do that because if they were to
Speaker 2: only talk about California, it would be a bad look
Speaker 2: because of the pottery barn rule of politics. You broke it,
Speaker 2: you bought it. They broke it. They don't know how
Speaker 2: to fix it. So let's talk about Donald Trump instead.
Speaker 2: Thank you for the calls here, all right, thank you.
Speaker 2: Let's go to John and San Jose. John, Hello, Hey, John,
Speaker 2: Hey Randy.
Speaker 9: My question would be to Steve Hilton and they would
Speaker 9: go as follows. During your time at Fox, have you
Speaker 9: ever spent time in a hot tub with Greg Gutfeld
Speaker 9: and Larry Kudlow? And the follow up question might be
Speaker 9: how come I wasn't invited?
Speaker 2: All right, thank you for the call, sir, We appreciate it,
Speaker 2: and thank you for not including Caitlin Jenner. Let's go
Speaker 2: to Cynthia in San Francisco. Cynthia, Hello, Hey.
Speaker 10: Good morning, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my call. Okay,
Speaker 10: So I listened to Steyer his first thing is just
Speaker 10: what you said. He wants to get rid of Prop thirteen.
Speaker 10: And then I believe the second thing he said was
Speaker 10: universal healthcare. He wants everyone on the same health plan
Speaker 10: that they put us on. I want to know if
Speaker 10: he and his family are going to be on the
Speaker 10: same health plan that they put all of us on.
Speaker 10: That's my question.
Speaker 2: That's a very good question, because if government run health
Speaker 2: in California goes as I expected to, none of us
Speaker 2: are going to make it to sixty.
Speaker 10: No, you're exactly right. Am I going to see them
Speaker 10: in my emergency room?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 10: I don't think so. So I want to know. And
Speaker 10: a lot of them say it, you know, we all
Speaker 10: need this one pay healthcare. We're all going to be
Speaker 10: on it. We're all going to be good, take care
Speaker 10: of all the legals and illegals. But nobody asks them,
Speaker 10: are you going to be on the same one that
Speaker 10: I'm on? That's what I want to know, and I
Speaker 10: know the answer.
Speaker 2: That's the whole beauty of having private health insurance. If
Speaker 2: you make enough money and you have a good enough plan,
Speaker 2: you can get out of many ailments. And let's face it,
Speaker 2: we live in a world where we have access to
Speaker 2: just about anything. And the point for me for getting rich,
Speaker 2: if I ever get there, is so that I can
Speaker 2: eat and drink whatever I want. Because if I can
Speaker 2: eat and drink whatever I want, and you finally get
Speaker 2: to a point where your body starts to fail, you,
Speaker 2: well who cares. You can buy a liver from China,
Speaker 2: and you can get one of those baboon hearts here too,
Speaker 2: right right, And.
Speaker 10: I pay a lot of money to have a ppo
Speaker 10: so I can go when I want, see whomever I want.
Speaker 10: And they said you couldn't even do that. It's going
Speaker 10: to be all just like that. That saying goes knock knock,
Speaker 10: who's there? It's the government. I'm here to help. No
Speaker 10: anything the government touches seems to go dous.
Speaker 1: So that all right, Thank you for the call. We
Speaker 1: appreciate it.
