WEBVTT - David Ganezer is running to replace Nancy Pelosi 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.480 And we continue at one five in the afternoon on 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:06.920 the John Phillips Show, Mister Randy Weggs in Culver City. 0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:08.760 You know what, I'm just gonna address this on the 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.320 air because we get an email about this probably every 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:14.720 twenty minutes. People keep wanting to know who's the guy 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:17.840 that rates all the judge races on the ballot. Because 0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:19.840 there's so many judges you have to vote for it 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:22.840 no matter what district you're in, no matter what precinct 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:25.880 you're in. Craig Huey is the guy. The website is 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:28.920 Craighuey dot com and he's got his California Voter Guide. 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:32.920 HJTA has also been putting out judge recommendations. I know 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:36.400 there's a lot of judges. Easy rule of thumb. If 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:39.640 they work at the DA's office, they're probably okay. If 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.440 they work for the Public Defender's office, do not make 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:43.279 them a judge. 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.839 I wonder if judicial candidates named Judy do better than 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.640 other names. 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.160 You think there's anyone that changed their name to Judy 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.400 so when they get on the ballot, someone thinks that 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:57.920 they're voting for judge Judy. 0:00:58.360 --> 0:00:59.240 It's worth a try. 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.720 There was that guy and this is true, who changed 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.800 his name to Barack Obama and is running for governor. 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.120 Who do you think is going to do better, Barack 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.040 Obama or Eric Swalwell, who is still on the ballot, 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:20.240 Probably Smallwell. Eight hundred two two two five two two 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.560 two is telephone number one. Eight hundred two two two 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.759 five two two two. It is our pleasure to welcome 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.480 our next guest to the program. He is a candidate 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.920 for Congress in the city and County of San Francisco. 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.479 You can get him online at. 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:40.200 Ganiser Forcongress dot com and follow him on x at 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.800 Ganiser David. David Ganiser, Welcome. 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.920 Thank you, John. I really appreciate you having me on 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.840 this afternoon. As you mentioned, I'm the longtime publisher of 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.520 the Santa Monica Observer for twenty years and a Republican 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:59.240 candidate for California's eleventh congressional district, Nancy Pelosi's former seat. 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.840 When I was a student at Stanford, I was a 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:07.320 Coastguard reservist who did search and rescue on San Francisco 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:11.760 Bay out of the Presidio of California, which at the 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.200 time had a Coastguard station called Fort Point. I'm a 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:20.360 social moderate who supports gay marriage and who loves the city, 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.560 and I believe that the government should focus on practical 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:28.280 solutions that make life easier, not harder, for people. Without 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:33.280 mentioning names, the three progressive candidates in our crowded field 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:38.880 of eleven candidates would make life harder for California based 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:43.120 on their legislative histories and their pronouncement, and based on 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:50.760 progressive philosophy, which has a tendency to restrict things supposedly 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.200 for the common good. So I felt that, after thirty 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.880 eight years of Nancy Pelosi, that it was important for 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.680 San Francisco to have a Republican alternative in this election. 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:02.639 And I am that Republican alternative. 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.079 Is it safe to say that the three left wing 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.880 candidates that you just referenced are decidedly to the left 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:11.080 of Nancy Pelosi. 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:17.720 Yes, it's interesting that she didn't endorse Scott Wiener. They 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:23.120 seem to have had a pre agreed upon contract where 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.440 she would retire from Congress, he would run for her seat, 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:31.720 and Christine Pelosi, her daughter, would run for the Senate 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:37.119 seat vacated by Scott Wiener. The other two progressive candidates, 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:42.800 Connie Chanan and Shaycott, Chakrabati are running to the left 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.720 of Scott Wiener, which is interesting. They're trying to out 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:56.080 left him, and Shycott has been endorsed by the squad 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:01.360 Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib. Interestingly, Shiko, who was the 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:07.320 chief of staff for AOC, was not endorsed by AOC. 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:12.320 People who've actually worked with him say that he's confrontational, 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:18.040 difficult to work with, doesn't compromise. It wants revolutionary change. 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.799 For a guy who made one hundred and sixty seven 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.520 million being second from the top at Stripe, the second 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:28.560 engineer at Stripe, it's curious that he would want revolutionary change, 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.080 but he seems to, and he's offended a lot of 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:36.200 people within the progressive movement. If you watch the campaign 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:40.400 unfold for this seat, what you have noticed is a 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.839 circular firing squad with the progressives all shooting at each 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.880 other and even shooting at Nancy Pelosi, who's kind of 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.760 a revered figure in San Francisco. Whatever else you can 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.040 say about Nancy Pelosi and whatever else we on the 0:04:55.160 --> 0:05:00.279 right say about her i E Insider trading, she did 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:05.040 deliver for San Francisco. She got bart stations, MUNI stations. 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:11.400 She set up a semi federal government agency called the 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:16.920 Presidio Trust, which manages the Presidio of San Francisco. As 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.320 I mentioned earlier, I was a coastguard'sman working at Coastguard 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.040 Station Fort Point there which is now a museum for Noah. 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:28.840 The National Oceanographic and Aeronautic Administration, and other buildings at 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.159 the Presidio which used to be barracks for army soldiers 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.120 and have other military uses, are now rented to companies 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:39.480 like Oracle. So the Presidio Trust actually has a forty 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:45.960 six million dollar surplus this year and appears to be working. 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.240 So Nancy Pelosi has a mixed legacy. 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.479 Nancy Pelosi seems to have had a falling out with 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.279 Scott Wiener. Scott Wiener has been involved in Democratic politics 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.320 in San Francisco quite some time. He was on the 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.839 Board of Supervisors. He's been representing San Francisco on the 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.520 state legislature from Minny Moons. I want to read for 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:13.960 you a portion of an article in SFST which interviewed 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.160 Nancy Pelosi about the race to replace her, and have 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.040 you react to it. Here is what they had to say. 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.400 Quote when Schaeffer turns to Wiener, who is leading in 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:28.159 the polls to succeed Pelosi. She sounds clearly pissed off 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.240 that this is the case. Quote are you part of 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:35.159 their campaign? She snipes at Schaeffer after he offers some 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.920 praise of Wiener's legislative record, and she adds regarding the 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.320 chronicles endorsement of him, quote you sound like the San 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:47.000 Francisco Chronicle, which is totally irrelevant. Along with the Examiner, 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.960 nobody cares about endorsements from the newspapers. 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:50.719 End quote. 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.520 Of the idea that Wiener is a quote master legislator, 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:59.320 Pelosi dismissed that, first, saying that she had no legislative 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.680 experience when she took the job, and adding, quote, I've 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:06.120 never heard anybody say that anybody is a master legislator 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.640 who's part of this race? End quote quote I talked 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.880 to people. Spend your time with the public, Pelosi says, 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.600 implying the public isn't so behind Wiener as the poll show. 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:18.560 What do you make of that? 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.800 Yeah, Wiener on a personal level is snappish. There's a 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:28.200 fourteen second video where he interacts with Nick Shirley, who 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.800 is twenty three and doing an amazing public service as 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:37.080 a young journalist exposing fraud throughout the country. And Scott 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:42.240 Wiener did something that he frequently does in Sacramento. He 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.680 called him a psychopath and a pedophile, and Nick Shirley 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:52.119 is neither and he in terms of his legislative accomplishments. 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:56.480 Let's go through housing. For example, there is Senate Bill nine, 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:03.160 which changed our one zoning into our four zoning, and 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:08.240 then Senate Bill seventy nine, which removed the height limitation 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.480 within fifteen hundred meters of a transit station, and that 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.240 can be a train station, but it can also be 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.360 a bus station. So there's now no height limit. So 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:21.560 if you have purchased R one property in the state 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.640 of California, because of Scott Wiener, you now have to 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.400 worry about somebody putting up a fifteen story building next 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:33.120 to you. I would emphasize that there is still local control. 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:39.520 There is a fight between Sacramento and the local governments 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:45.360 in California over who actually has control. But this was 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.880 the sort of change that Wiener does and that our 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:55.720 state legislator does. Our state legislature does. They impose revolutionary 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.520 change without any concern for how it affects people. Who 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.640 have been invested, and this is why investment money is 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:07.520 fleeing California. In San Francisco, there is a progressive measure 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:12.160 called Measured D that I'm opposed to. That is a 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:18.120 gross receipts tax on businesses and raises the gross receipts 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:23.199 tax over one percent if the CEO of a company 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:27.440 located in San Francisco earns one hundred times more than 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.679 the average worker at that company. And while that might 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:34.719 sound good, the effect is everybody is leaving San Francisco 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:38.640 because they're afraid of Measure D and other such measures. Weener, 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.160 by the way, has represented San Francisco in the Senate 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.440 for twelve years in the California State Senate and it 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:50.160 they've elected him twice. But it's interesting that he's not 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.400 popular and will get less than fifty percent of the 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:54.800 vote in this primary. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.640 But what do you make of the conflict between him 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.960 and puls Because I've seen them at public events together. 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:07.920 They certainly have a speaking relationship with one another, but 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.240 he clearly did something to offend her. Do you think 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.000 she's upset because he filed to run for that seat 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.040 before she announced that she was retiring. Do you think 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:22.160 she's upset with him because he put together an impressive 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.040 enough campaign to scare her daughter out of the race 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.880 so the daughter couldn't replace her in Congress. 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:29.240 Or do you think there was. 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.679 Some sort of personal interaction where he was snippy, as 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.280 you described his personality as being, and he did something 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.880 to her face that upset her, and she's had it 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:41.000 in for him since then. 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:43.720 I think all of those things. I think all of 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:47.680 those things. To quote Shakespeare, agent love loves not to 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:52.480 have years told. And Nancy was planning on running at 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:56.520 eighty six for that seat this year and she was 0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:00.320 forced out, I believe by Weiener throw has hat into 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.080 the wing into the ring before she had made that 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:07.839 decision not to run, and that kind of forced her out. 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:12.280 To be fair, she's pretty spry for eighty six. She's 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.640 pretty on top of things compared to Joe Biden, who's 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:20.679 actually a little younger than she is. And I think 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.640 there's a lot of bad blood there. And for her 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:31.000 to endorse Connie Chan was otherworldly because Connie Chan is 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:35.960 regarded as an obstructionist, especially in Chinatown and the Chinese community. 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:41.520 She's regarded as a person who didn't, for example, approve 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:48.040 of renovation and rebuilding around the area of the Alexandra 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:56.679 Theater in San Francisco. And Connie Chan also gave a 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:03.920 questionable contract for city advertising for San Francisco city advertising 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:10.040 to a publication newspaper that is published in her native 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:16.240 Hong Kong called the singh Tao Daily, and that publication 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:23.080 being published within Hong Kong is under the jurisdiction of 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.800 the CCP. So I'm not accusing her of being a 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.480 CCP agent. I'm not saying that at all, but it's 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:34.760 questionable why she would have done that. And then it's 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.199 questionable that Nancy Pelosi, who has supported over the years 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:42.520 the government in Taiwan, would have endorsed her and not 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:46.320 endorsed Shy Kott or Scott Wiener or one of the 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.920 other Democrats in the race. There are nine of them. 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:51.360 What's wild to me? 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.600 And we played some of the sound of Connie Chan 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:59.120 in her first interview after receiving the endorsement of Nancy Pelosi. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.199 Woman is not ready for prime time. She was having 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.240 great difficulty answering the questions, and to the extent that 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:11.240 she did, she used the most generic of terms. She 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.480 really hasn't thought most of these issues through and she 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:18.800 certainly can't express herself. Why in the world would Nancy Pelosi, 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.880 who rose through the ranks to become Speaker of the House, 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:26.319 who clearly has great political skills, get behind an amateur 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:30.480 like this, who is certainly not at the level of 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:31.840 most people in Congress. 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.120 You know, I think that Nancy was reluctant to endorse 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.800 anyone at all. She doesn't want to retire from her job, 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.840 and she recognizes that she has to, and she did 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.120 make that decision, and that was a tough decision to make, 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:52.080 to be fair, But you're right that Connie's English could 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.280 be a little better, and. 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:59.360 She I don't even think it was a language thing. 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.120 I think think that she is just not well versed 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.600 on federal subjects, and she knows what she knows about 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.679 local subjects, and she's an obstructionist. She doesn't want to 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:12.080 build anything, she doesn't want projects being greenlit. We know 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:16.000 all that, But it seemed to me that she was 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.880 thrust in this race because it's the next step up 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.280 the ladder, not because she has interest in federal issues 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.800 or she thinks she has solutions to offer for problems 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:26.920 facing San Francisco. 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:28.360 At the federal level. 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.160 It's just like, Okay, this is my chosen career and 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.600 this is the next promotion that became available, right. 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:36.240 You know. 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.200 You had a guest on John not that long ago, 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:45.480 a former member of the Assembly, a Republican, who said 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.640 that there are three reasons why people run for public office, 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:53.640 and these cut across party lines. There are people who 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.240 are trying to advance their careers. There are people who 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.480 are ideological and have ideology that they want to bring 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.560 to the fore. And then there are people who want 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:07.480 to make life easier for their constituents. And he said, 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.960 in his opinion, this is the only good reason to 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.280 run for public office, because you want to make life 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:16.520 easier for other people. Connie has not made life easier 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:20.280 for people in her district. She is a county supervisor 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:25.160 in San Francisco, and people know that in San Francisco. 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.280 But back to your earlier question, I think Nancy felt 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.560 she had to endorse someone. It was three weeks before 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:35.720 the election and she hadn't endorsed anybody. Her endorsement, in 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:39.880 my opinion, is the one endorsement that actually means something. 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:47.320 In San Francisco, ilhan Omar and Rashida talib endorsing Shycott, 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.800 Chakra Bodi will not get him that many votes that 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.720 he wouldn't have gotten anyway. And if you come from 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:58.440 the perspective that she needed to endorse someone, she hates 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:04.200 Scott Wiener and everybody hates Shycott, so she endorsed Connie Chan. 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:06.760 What do you think the odds are you're going to 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:07.880 make the November ballot. 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.600 I think the odds are really good, and they're precisely 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.360 because of the Nancy Pelosi endorsement. And I'll explain why. 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.960 If you go through the mathematics. The district is one 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.360 of the bluest districts in the country. It's sixty three 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:26.080 percent sixty four percent Democrat, seven percent Republican, and the 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:30.600 remaining thirty or so percent is no party preference or independence. 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.920 I think Scott Wiener is going to get the lion's 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:39.560 share of the Democrat vote. Democrat in that district means progressive, 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:46.920 and that because of the endorsement, Connie Chan and Shycott 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:51.120 will divide the remaining Democrat votes and that I will 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.680 get the lion's share of the remainder and it'll be 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:59.960 enough to put me into the November runoff, I predict, 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:05.200 and nobody has noticed this because of the circular firing 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:09.040 squad that is going on in San Francisco. Everybody is 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.960 enjoying the show of all the progressives firing at each other. 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:17.080 But if you promise not to tell anyone that's my prediction. 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.439 Let's say that you end up making the November ballot 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.280 with Scott Wiener, and that Nancy Pelosi hates Scott Wiener 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:26.960 as much as we think that she does. 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.200 What do you think she does in that race? Just 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:29.960 stay out of it. 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:35.760 Yes, she's not going to endorse the Republican but yeah, 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.359 you know interesting that the Democrat Party has over time 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:43.280 moved to the left so far that an old school 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:48.880 Democrat like Nancy Pelosi, who believes in strong defense and 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:56.639 has confronted the CCP by traveling to Taiwan right before 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:03.600 the twenty twenty election, it's interesting that she is now 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:07.680 left out in the cold, left out high and dry 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.920 by her own party. As the tide has receded and 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:16.200 as the Democrat Party has shifted to the left. My 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:22.159 understanding is that progressivism itself is divided between revolutionaries like 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:28.879 Shyot and people who want moderate change. Over time, maybe 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.320 like Connie chan and now they're all firing at each other, 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:37.360 and that Nancy Pelosi is not a progressive at all. 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:39.800 She is an old school Democrat in my view. 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.040 All right, we're going to have to leave it there. 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.679 David Ganiser candidate for Congress in the City and County 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.680 of San Francisco.

And 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:03.280 then when you think it's all over, he goes back 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.240 to his car and six his dog on the couple. 0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:08.000 Uh oh. 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:24.000 For more on this insanity, here is CBSLA. 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:21.960 An attack involving a baseball bat and a dog caught 0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:25.399 on camera. The man was arrested accused of true remember. 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:27.439 When the only problem with Santa Monica was the parking. 0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:32.040 Now they have a whole big bag of problems. 0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:35.119 The man was arrested accused of turning his dog on 0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:38.880 a couple right outside the Third Street promenade cbsla's Utter 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:40.679 Sowards is in Santa Monica. 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:42.880 After talking to the couple's friend. 0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:46.639 That incident happened right behind me here at the intersection, 0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:49.879 right in front of the Third Street promenade, in broad daylight. Now, 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:52.280 the victims they want to remain anonymous because they believe 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:55.200 they were targeted. But locals I spoke to today say 0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:57.480 this is a part of a much bigger issue. 0:22:57.560 --> 0:22:58.360 But the bag. 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:03.040 Scary scene in Santa Monica Sunday, A man armed with. 0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:04.160 Hey, that's a lot of esses. 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:08.880 Almost Mark Brownworthy, a. 0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:11.960 Scary scene in Santa Monica Sunday, a man armed with 0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:14.919 a baseball bat appears to zero in on a couple 0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:17.320 who police say was trying to cross the street. 0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:19.560 How dare they try to cross the street? 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:23.600 This guy sounds like a real a hole. 0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:28.560 He can be heard screaming profanities before getting out of 0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:34.080 the car and approaching them. The couple who says they're Jewish, 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.000 tried writing down his license plate, but that's when things 0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:38.440 take a terrifying turn. 0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:42.080 So they're just walking crossing the street. Crazy guy gets 0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:44.840 out of his car and starts screaming at them while 0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:48.080 holding a baseball bat. You genociding blaps. 0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:53.400 Do you think this is a sane person who has 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:55.879 a be in his bonnet with the Jews? Or do 0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:58.879 you think this is just a crazy, homeless person who's 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:01.680 just shouting out whatever obscenities popped into his head. 0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:04.919 Well, he had a relatively new looking car that he 0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:08.240 jumped out of, so I don't think this was homeless. 0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:11.840 But it is also very possible to be crazy and 0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:13.359 racist at the same time. 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:14.600 That's true. 0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:18.000 The couple who says they're Jewish tried writing down his 0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:21.240 license plate, but that's when things take a terrifying turn. 0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:24.560 After returning to his car, he suddenly charges at them, 0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:29.080 along with his dog.

He was using anti Semitic rhetoric. 0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:37.200 Because the couple asked to remain anonymous. We spoke to 0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:39.160 their friend who shared the video with us. 0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:45.920 He was using those words to justify his action against them. 0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:47.480 I won more accounting, buildy, How. 0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:48.680 Did he know they were Jewish? 0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:53.919 That's really odd unless they're Orthodox and they were walking 0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:56.800
