Roger Bailey is the 15 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: attorney for many many Pallisaates homeowners who've been burned out. 16 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: He says he has proof that Newsom light out is lying, 17 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 2: and I know that's shocking. It's fascinating that he's such 18 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 2: a colossal, pathological liar, and yet people still will vote 19 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: for him. In fact, many will vote for him to 20 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 2: be president. That's just it's fascinating about human nature. We'll 21 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 2: talk to Roger Bailey coming up after three o'clock now, 22 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 2: right this minute, in the National Review, I was reading 23 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: a story today by Stephen Camarado we've had on the 24 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 2: show because he's the director of research at the Center 25 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 2: for Immigration Studies and the Center for Immigration Studies. We've 26 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 2: had people on from that group more often than any 27 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: other immigration group because their name tells you what they 28 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: do all day every day. They study immigration, and they 29 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: tell you what's what. And Stephen Camarada had a piece 30 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: in the National Review to try to this, this should 31 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: tamp down some of the hysteria. He said, for years 32 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 2: we've heard that immigration is like the weather. It can't 33 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: be controlled, so get used to it. And he's quoting 34 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: somebody who wrote a piece in the New York Times 35 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: and the title of it was Biden can't stop immigration. 36 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: Time to embrace it. He's written by David Beer, an 37 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: open borders advocate. You got that Biden can't stop immigration, 38 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: Time to embrace it. Twenty twenty four, NPR, which has 39 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 2: since been defunded, told us that despite a fortified border, 40 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 2: migrants will keep coming. 41 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: I've heard this a thousand times every time. 42 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 2: They're gonna keep coming. You can't put up a wall. 43 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: They're gonna find their way. No they won't. It be 44 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 2: to find a way. 45 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: You put up a wall, people can't get in or 46 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: can't get out. 47 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: You can't build a prison because you know the prisoners 48 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: don't get out. 49 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: No, they won't. 50 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: Only a few months into the Trump administration, border encounters 51 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: are down ninety three percent. 52 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: Those are encounters. 53 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 2: Those are illegal aliens meeting border patrol agents. Do you 54 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 2: know how many people border patrol agents have encountered and 55 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: then let's stay in the country Since January? 56 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 1: You know how many? Zero? 57 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: There's not a single person that the border patrol encountered 58 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: at our US Mexican border that they then said, okay, 59 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: you can stay. All of them were immediately returned or, 60 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: if necessary, detained. Now, how about the ones that were 61 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 2: already here. I for the people who say, you know, 62 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: we we have to allow the illegal aliens a chance 63 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: to come here to live their dream, they're only coming 64 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: here to work. My question always was, okay, how many? 65 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: Is there a limit? And that's when these advocates would 66 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 2: then grow silent. It's funny when you ask them a question. 67 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: While they're shouting slogans at you say, okay, all right, 68 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 2: yeah sure, let illegal aliens in live the dream come 69 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 2: here to work. 70 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: How many do you know? 71 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 2: During the Biden administration the four years, the total foreign 72 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: born population grew by over eight million people. There's eight 73 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 2: million extra people living in the United States, many of 74 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 2: them here in Los Angeles, and the Center for Immigration 75 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: Studies estimate the tooth thirds of the increase was from 76 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 2: illegal immigration. 77 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: So that's what five and a half million. 78 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: You know, how many foreign born residents there are in 79 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: the country as of January fifty three million? 80 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: Is that enough? That's legal and illegal? Fifty three billion. 81 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 2: That's about sixteen percent of the total population. Sixteen percent 82 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: of the population is now foreign born. The old record 83 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: was reached more than one hundred years ago. Same thing 84 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 2: with the total fifty three billion. So there's eight million 85 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: extra people living here, and that's the net increase because 86 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: some people are deported, some go home on their own, 87 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: some die. So he did the calculation and he said, well, 88 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 2: for the total number of foreign born to increase by 89 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: eight million, a minimum of twelve million legal and illegal 90 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,239 Speaker 2: immigrants had to arrive during the Biden years. 91 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: Twelve million. 92 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: Now that doesn't count the children that they get birth 93 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: to after they come here. 94 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: So here's the question, is that enough? 95 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: Because when Trump finally shut down the border and in 96 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 2: a matter of minutes the flow dried up, all the 97 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: screaming and the whaling and the howling, It's like, well, well, 98 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 2: wait a second, the foreign born population increased by twelve million. 99 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: And an eight million of that was were illegal aliens, Like, 100 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: is there no limit? 101 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: Well, of course there's no limit, because the whole purpose 102 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: is to undermine our civilization. They don't believe, the advocates 103 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 2: don't believe that. The many in the Biden administration didn't 104 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 2: believe that the US is a legitimate country. We stole 105 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 2: the land, built it on the backs of slaves. We're capitalists, 106 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: which exploits workers, and you know, the whole leftist communist routine. 107 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 2: It's the stuff that you know, Karen Bass believes in, 108 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 2: just hides it behind that cute grandmotherly smile. So I 109 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 2: would urge you to read this if you have an 110 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: interest in it. I can't read it all on the 111 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: air because it gets too complicated. It's a lot of 112 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 2: statistics and you'll see the methods they use to estimate 113 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: how many came here, but I'm sure he's in the neighborhood, 114 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 2: very close to the absolute truth. And then you have 115 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 2: to say, well, all, how many and why do we 116 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: have to pay for all these people? And we do pay. 117 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 2: Don't listen to though, Well, you know, the illegals pay 118 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: taxes too. It's tiny amount. We blow thirty five billion 119 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: dollars of state tax money on illegal aliens. Thirty five billion. 120 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: I'm sure you've got a list of things that you 121 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: see in your life that you think ought to be 122 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: addressed by the state government. Well, there's thirty five billion 123 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: dollars less because of all the money we pour into 124 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 2: illegal aliens, including twelve million for free healthcare for everybody. 125 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 2: Twelve billion, really, I mean not everybody in America as 126 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: free healthcare, but the illegal aliens do. And the hell 127 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 2: with this idea that they come here to work. They 128 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 2: come here to work, and then these these companies pay 129 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 2: them slave wages. And we have seven million men of 130 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 2: adult working age sitting on the side lines getting their 131 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 2: own free medicare. All this all this is absurd, it's all. 132 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: It's one layer of absurdity on another, on another, on another, 133 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 2: so yeah, the whole system has to be busted up 134 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 2: and flushed, which now is being done. Got more coming up. 135 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 136 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 3: six forty. 137 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: Coming up after three o'clock. 138 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 2: Roger Bailey, the attorney who represents so many Pacific Palisades residents. 139 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: He's got proof that Gavin Newson lied when he claimed 140 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 2: he pre deployed one hundred and ten fire engines to 141 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: the Palisades before the fire started.

All of them have an 341 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 2: inflated sense of ego, and they think. 342 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: You got to be running for governor. 343 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 5: I believe in me. 344 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: Well, we'll start with that guy. He's probably the most 345 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: well known. 346 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: He was the mayor of Los Angeles for eight years, 347 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 2: and I realize he looks like somebody'd be on Mount 348 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,959 Speaker 2: Rushmore compared to Garcettian Bass, but he's still stunk. As 349 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 2: a mayor of Los Angeles, he bankrupted the city, so 350 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 2: he went bankrupt. He gave crazy raises to all the workers, 351 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 2: and la went broke. Of course, Karen Bass repeated that 352 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 2: same trick because La is broke. Now same thing. Gave 353 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 2: huge raises to all the unions. Then you have massive 354 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 2: budget cuts and you can't get ordinary services out of 355 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 2: the city. He also he ran for governor a few 356 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 2: years ago and did badly. Katie Porter. We know who 357 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: Katie Porter is. I know she likes mashed potatoes. We 358 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 2: know her as missus potato Head here on the show. 359 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 2: In fact, if she's running, she is going to be 360 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 2: Missus potato Head during the entire campaign, and if she wins, 361 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 2: she's going to be Governor potato Head. And it's because 362 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 2: like she's kind of nuts from everything I've read, and 363 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 2: she had a nutty husband and they had a big 364 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 2: blowout one day and the husband is sitting at the 365 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 2: at the dinner table with the kids and she takes 366 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 2: a plate of hot mashed potatoes. I think, I think 367 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 2: a pot of hot mashed potatoes inducted it on her head. 368 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 4: Did he deserve it? 369 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 2: Possibly he did, But that's that's that's not the way 370 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:21,239 Speaker 2: I mean. 371 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 4: I wouldn't handle the situation that way.

The 511 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 5: National Guard was part of the pre deployment. All our 512 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 5: airs assets bought them from northern California, southern California. They 513 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 5: were part of that team. Integrated and proud of these guys. Man. 514 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 5: And to see these guys abuse hundreds of millions of 515 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 5: dollars wasted at tax boat. They're sitting in there armories 516 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 5: and then a few of them get to be paraded around. 517 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: All right, this is when he was ranting, They're like, 518 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: what the house are we being pread. 519 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 5: What are we doing to run into a park when 520 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 5: there wasn't one? 521 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: Damn arrest and MacArthur parky, you can stop it there. 522 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 2: So he clearly said he sent one hundred and ten 523 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 2: engines and twenty five hundred National Guardsmen. Well, according to 524 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 2: Roger Bailey, they have gotten access with a public records request, 525 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 2: and he said that's all wise, and we will talk 526 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 2: to Roger Bailey. Now on the Palisades fire, you know 527 00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 2: about the reservoir being empty and the DWP not filling it. 528 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,239 Speaker 2: So take this with every possible warning. I have no 529 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 2: idea if this is true. I'm not vouching for it. 530 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 2: I just found it fascinating. There's a woman named Jennifer 531 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 2: five point fifty five who wrote in the La Times 532 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 2: in the comments section under a Palisades fire story. Here's 533 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 2: what she wrote. Not that I believe anything that any 534 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 2: employee of the LADWP has to say, but the reservoir 535 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 2: was built to be an open air reservoir providing both 536 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 2: drinking water and water for other purposes, and the Federal 537 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 2: Clean Water Act requires the reservoirs to be covered if 538 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 2: part of the water will be used for drinking water. 539 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 2: So a soft plasticized fabric type cover was installed over 540 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 2: the reservoir. The cover got torn, had to be patched, 541 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 2: The patch job had to go out for a bid. 542 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 2: The bidding process takes a long time. Now listen to this, 543 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 2: she wrote. The DWP drained the reservoir because while the 544 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 2: cover was torn, serving the drinking water would defy the 545 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 2: Federal Clean Water. 546 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: Act, even though they needed it for the fire. 547 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 2: The bids came to DWP from one third party contractor. 548 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 2: The charge was reasonable, but the old head person that 549 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 2: the DWP was leaving and the second tier of staff 550 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 2: members decided to wait to let the new boss, presumably 551 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 2: Janie Konz approved the contract. The new top boss at 552 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 2: the DWP again, I'm assuming Kenonias started the work, but 553 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: nobody in the second tier of the staff asked her 554 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 2: to well. The new top boss started her job, but 555 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 2: nobody in the second tier of staff asked her to 556 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 2: approve the contract. The head of the DWP's water division 557 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 2: never asked his new boss, Quinnoni, has to approve the 558 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 2: repair contract. More than a year went by after the 559 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 2: reservoir was drained, and eight months after the new boss 560 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 2: that the DWP went to work, so the top two 561 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 2: tiers of the DWP inexplicably failed to get the cover repaired, 562 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 2: and they left the reservoir empty. That's the story that 563 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 2: this comment writer in the La Times relayed. And at 564 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 2: this point in time, the DWP staff at all levels 565 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 2: have been instructed by the city's lawyers not to pedal 566 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 2: bologna to the public why all the foregoing happened, because 567 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 2: they're going to end up as witnesses in the lawsuits. 568 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 2: The city is going to have to pay a tremendous 569 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 2: amount of money, which it doesn't have. And the city, 570 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 2: of course is the taxpayers. I mean, all the people 571 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 2: in the Palisades adding out to Dina and in Malibu, 572 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 2: they deserve to be heavily compensated for everything that they've 573 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 2: suffered through. But so everybody has shut up publicly about 574 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 2: what went on. But that sounds like a reasonable story 575 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 2: to me, that that's that's fought. I don't know if 576 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 2: it's true, not giving any credibility to it beyond that 577 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 2: I just found it. You know, sometimes you read things 578 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 2: and it's like, yeah, I could see that that's plausible, 579 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 2: and I haven't seen anything else. It'll come out eventually 580 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 2: when we come back Roger Bailey, and he had a 581 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 2: Public Records Act request to find out if Gavin Newsom 582 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 2: was telling the truth that he sent one hundred and 583 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 2: ten engines and twenty five hundred National Guardsmen to southern 584 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 2: California preposition them before January seventh? Was Gavin Newsom lying 585 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 2: what do you think? Deborah Mark Live MCKAFI twenty four 586 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 2: Hour Newsroom.
