1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,239
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: We're on the radio from one until four, then after

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand also on the

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. Never is here, Eric is here. We're all

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 2: in place, ready to go. We got much to do.

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 2: Just quickly. At one point thirty, we're going to have

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 2: Steve Garvey on. He had a debate last night with

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: the three Democratic candidates and he's going to tell us

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: what that was like. Twill clock independent journalist Daniel guss

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: La Times bloodbath day. They laid off one hundred and

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: fifteen people in the newsroom, which is a very large

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: percentage of the employees they had left left. As that

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: newspaper continues to swirl the bowl, we will talk now

15
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: to Michelle Friendzen from ABC News as she has been

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: covering the New Hampshire primary.

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: Michelle, how are you.

18
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: I'm doing well and we have been on ground today,

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,319
Speaker 3: even talking with some of the voters early on this

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: morning who headed out to the polls on their way

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: to work today and it was a mixed bag of

22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 3: who was voting for who, So it's going to be

23
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 3: an interesting It is interesting finish when the polls closed

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: later today. Of course, Donald Trump remains a front runner

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: with a sizeable lead with Republican voters here in the

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: Granite State. What Nicky Haley is looking for is that independent,

27
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 3: undeclared vote. They make up some three hundred thousand plus

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 3: voters who will be going to the polls today deciding

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 3: whether they're going to vote Republican, whether they're going to

30
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 3: vote Democrats, whether they're going to vote for Trump, Hailey,

31
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 3: wright In Biden, someone else.

32
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: So independent voters are allowed to vote in a Republican primary,

33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: which isn't the case in a lot of other states.

34
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: Yes, that's what makes it so interesting here. Let's take

35
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: Iowa for example. At the closed primary, so that gave

36
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: Donald Trump a sizeable lead, and he maintained the lead

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: again with the Republicans and his party. What Haley has

38
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: a chance to do here is to get that crossover

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: vote of yes, some moderates, but other people who no

40
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 3: longer want to have either Joe Biden or Donald Trump,

41
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: and they're looking to turn the page.

42
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: When all these polls come out, Because you probably saw

43
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: there are two new ones that I saw today anyway,

44
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: one from the Boston Globe. Both of them had Trump

45
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: up by twenty points. But when they do the polling,

46
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: are they pulling just Republicans or are they pulling the

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: independents who might vote in the Republican primary. And I

48
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: don't even know how would you determine that other than

49
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 2: trusting people.

50
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: It depends on which poll first of all that you're

51
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 3: looking at, and then how big that poll is of

52
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: the survey. But usually they'll break down Republicans and compared

53
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 3: to what they heard from the independent and the undeclared,

54
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: and then you know, then there's a whole pool of

55
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 3: under who may not know until they're walking in that

56
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 3: door who they're going to vote for.

57
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 2: Can you tell over the years when a campaign knows

58
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: it's going to lose and is just hyping it because

59
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: that's what you do on the last day.

60
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean, is there any.

61
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: Sense what the Nicki Haley crowd really thinks, they really

62
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: think they can pull off some kind of an upset here?

63
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: Are they going through the motions?

64
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're going through the motions. I

65
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: haven't talked with anyone from the campaign today. They're keeping

66
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: a low profile except for Nicki Haley showing up and

67
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: visiting a couple of poll centers, but she indicated two

68
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: reporters in her campaign memo to staffers that they're in

69
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: it for the long haul, at least through Super Tuesday,

70
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: So that puts us at the beginning of March, and

71
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: she wants to make it to her whole home state

72
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: next month of South Carolina. I think a lot depends

73
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: on what happens tonight. A lot of people are saying, well,

74
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: what's considered, you know, a win for the Haley camp.

75
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: It seems like if they continue to gain moments and

76
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: they come closer and closer to the Trump that might

77
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: be enough to stay in. But there's a lot of

78
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: factors involved. It's not just the campaign or the candidate deciding.

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: It has to do with donors, and so we won't

80
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 3: know until we find out what the results are and

81
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: whether or not Nicky Haley can keep going.

82
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the donors gave up on DeSantis, which I'm

83
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: sure had a lot to do with him getting out

84
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 2: of the race as quickly as he did.

85
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: Once they realized that candidate's a loser.

86
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: They don't want to forward, you know, any good money

87
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: after bad and Nicky.

88
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: Haley has had, you know, a lot of the bigger

89
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: donors that Ron DeSantis once had or wanted and didn't get.

90
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: And you're right, but we have to see how that

91
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 3: plays out too. I think it is early in the season.

92
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 3: You know a lot of other states would like to

93
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 3: weigh in on this, and they're voters. But you've got

94
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: some support from both sides of the political isle here.

95
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 3: You know, Joe Biden is a right in candidate here today.

96
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: You know, the Democrats really changed their primary calendar where

97
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: New Hampshire is not their first primary. They changed it

98
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: to South Carolina. But New Hampshire, by their state law,

99
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: has to be the first primary in the nation. And

100
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: so Joe Biden's surrogates to have a right in campaign

101
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 3: here today, and theoretically they could siphon off some of

102
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 3: those independent voters. Right take away from Nicky Haley because

103
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: Biden campaign has not been shy about saying they would

104
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 3: rather go up against Trump again.

105
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: Haley, but there's no delegates on the Democratic side for

106
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 2: this primary.

107
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: No, no delegates. Those are up for sort of a battle,

108
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 3: you know, whether or not they'll be allotted because of

109
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 3: this this rift between the d and C and the

110
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: New Hampshiretariat state Off and those delegates.

111
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: In talking to some of the voters who are leaning

112
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 2: towards Haley, have you been able to get a sense

113
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 2: whether they're making their one statement with Haley for the primary,

114
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 2: but if she loses, they're happy to go to Trump

115
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: or is this a permanent protest against Trump and there's

116
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: no way they're going.

117
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: To have to vote for them.

118
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 3: Well, that also remains to be seen. I think that

119
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 3: there are some people who are choosing to vote for

120
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 3: Trump because they feel like Nikki Haley may not have

121
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: it for the long run. And then there are others

122
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 3: who do feel that and they're not going to vote

123
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: for Trump at any point again if they did before.

124
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: So it's really still a mix. And you know, people

125
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 3: become more and more entrenched as this election cycle goes on.

126
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: So we'll see what time do the polls close in

127
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: New Hampshire.

128
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: It's a graduated closing. Not all poles stay open until eight,

129
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 3: but once the eight o'clock is the latest. As you

130
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: well know, the earliest was Dixville Notch. That was right

131
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: after midnight. Nicki Haley sweeping that tiny township of six

132
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: votes all six.

133
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: Well, it's better than losing all six.

134
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 3: But you know, you know that is more tradition than

135
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: anything else. And I do have to say, you know

136
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: history with Dixville, notch of they end up you don't

137
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 3: always choose the nominee, and neither does New Hampshire. So

138
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: each state, you know, there's a lot of voters I

139
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,119
Speaker 3: think in South Carolina that are wishing. Boy, I hope

140
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: we get a choice, and maybe states beyond that, yeah.

141
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: And maybe all over by five o'clock our time here.

142
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: All right, well, Michelle, thank you for coming on. Michelle

143
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: Fransing with ABC News covering the Hampshire primary. I mean,

144
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: the polls have Trump ahead over twenty points, and you know,

145
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: I don't put a lot of faith in polls, especially

146
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: if it's five points are less, because you know that's

147
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: margin of error territory, and often they're wrong by six

148
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: or eight points. When you get into a twenty two

149
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: point advantage, odds are yet you really are going to

150
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: win if that poll was taken the week of the election.

151
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: So there are degrees of disbelief that I have coming up.

152
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: We are going to be giving the Amway one thousand dollars, right,

153
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: do I have that. Yes, I do have that, all right,

154
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: So we're gonna give away a thousand dollars in a

155
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: matter of minutes after one thirty. Steve Garvey on stage

156
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: last night with three Democratic candidates, all three certifiably insane.

157
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: We'll talk about his experience. We've got some clips to play.

Speaker 5: Of You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI

Speaker 5: AM six forty.

166
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: So that was the debate last night, sent a debate.

167
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: It was a usc was sponsored by Politico, and it

168
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: ran on Fox eleven. Alex Michaelson was one of the moderators,

169
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: and it also ran on KFI. And I it's hard

170
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: for me to come home and then immediately jump in

171
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: front of a debate, right, I mean, I've been on

172
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: the air for three hours and I'm hungry, and.

173
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: It's like I can't sit.

174
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: Look at Adam Schiff and Katie Porter screeching at me,

175
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: So I listened to some of it on the radio.

176
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: I jumped in the car to I was going out

177
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: to dinner, and I was driving around. I listened to

178
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: the debate, which is a different experience, and I tuned

179
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: in right in the middle of well, actually early on,

180
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: in the dust up between all the candidates over whether

181
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: Steve Garvey is going to vote for Trump or not,

182
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: and which, of course has no bear on my day

183
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: to day life here in California none. He could vote

184
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: for a gorilla for all I care. It doesn't matter

185
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 2: to me who he votes for. What matters to me

186
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: is how he's going to vote if he gets in

187
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: the Senate. Okay, However, his response was unsatisfactory. And what

188
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 2: I didn't know because I tuned in just a couple

189
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: of minutes late, is it Wasfi's Moe Kelly had asked

190
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: the question. He was a guest questioner last night, and

191
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: the question was was a fill in the blank if

192
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: the American people should choose former president former President Trump

193
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: as commander in chief, then fill in the blank, what

194
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: will happen? What does it mean? So here is Garvey answering, Well.

195
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 6: I think the single greatest currency we have is the

196
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 6: right to vote, and I think we should take this personally.

197
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 6: I think when we vote for a president and he's

198
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 6: duly elected, I believe we should support that president, support

199
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 6: the office because that's the leader of the United States,

200
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 6: the free world.

201
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:19,239
Speaker 2: And that set off all three Democrats. They were incensed

202
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: that Garvey wouldn't tell them whether he was going to

203
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: vote for Trump or not. Maybe Garvey hasn't decided yet.

204
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: Apparently that's not an option in March. No, it's not March.

205
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: In January. I mean, this is a March primary, and

206
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: in January, do you have to make a decision on

207
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: who you're going to vote for. Well, here's Adam Schiff

208
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: responding to the same question.

209
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 7: Donald Trump is elected president, then we are and it rhymes

210
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 7: with crude.

211
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: He's rude. He is the greatest threat to.

212
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 7: Our democracy in our history. He tore down a institution,

213
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 7: he incited a violent attack on our capital.

214
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: The best thing that we can do.

215
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 7: And I've gone toe to toe with him and if

216
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 7: need be, I will go to toe to toe with

217
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 7: him again to defend our democracy. But his election would

218
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 7: be the greatest threat in our country's history.

219
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: Certainly it's modern history.

220
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: Not much hyperbole there, huh, the greatest threat in its

221
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: modern history. Okay, greater than all those Russian nuclear bombs.

222
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: I guess.

223
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 2: Then, Barbara Lee, she's this looney tune congresswoman from Oakland.

224
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: And by the way, she should take a drive around

225
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: Oakland to see what's going on there.

226
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: Play that same question.

227
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 8: I must say, first, I believe that our Republican opponent

228
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 8: here on this stage has voted for Donald Trump twice

229
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 8: according to public reports. That agenda is an agenda to

230
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 8: dismantle our democracy. And so if anyone on this stage

231
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 8: believes that Donald Trump should be president because of his

232
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 8: position to dismantle this democracy, then where are we here

233
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 8: as a state in a country. So I will fight

234
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 8: to make sure that we protect our freedoms, to protect

235
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 8: our democracy, and to protect Donald Trump from cover again

236
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 8: you running for public office, and right now I'm taking

237
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 8: him to court. I'm the lead plaintiff in the NAACP

238
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 8: lawsuit to hold him, the Proud Boys and the oathkeepers accountable.

239
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: He is the all right, Okay again, go drive around Oakland.

240
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: You'll see not democracy dismantled, You'll see all of civilization dismantled. Now,

241
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: Katie Porter and she's a pleasant Listen. She answers the question.

242
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 9: We will lose credibility on the world stage. It will

243
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 9: set us back decades in terms of diplomacy and being

244
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 9: able to build democracies around the world, will cause us

245
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 9: to lose senior military leaders who refused to serve under

246
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 9: somebody who was engaged in an inciting and insurrection. And

247
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 9: it will weaken the diverse recruitment of the military that

248
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 9: we need to keep our country safe.

249
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm glad diverse got in there. Huh.

250
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 2: You know, I was around twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen.

251
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: I don't remember any of this happening.

252
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty was COVID and that derailed things, but he

253
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: didn't spread the COVID. I just don't remember the civilization

254
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: being destroyed, democracy being destroyed, the people acquitting the military.

255
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: I don't recall that. Maybe I fell on my head.

256
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: Now here's where shift goes after Steve Garvey trying to

257
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: get Garvey to admit that Trump is a threat.

258
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 7: Cut five and I just want to underscore what Barbarlee said.

259
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 7: Mister Garvey, you won't tell the public whether you're going

260
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 7: to support this man again. You voted for him twice.

261
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 7: You saw what he did on January sixth. You you have

262
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 7: to see what a threat is the country. I can

263
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 7: understand you don't want to alienate MAGA world by saying

264
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 7: you're against him, but you also won't stand.

265
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: Up to him.

266
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 7: What more do you need to see of what he's

267
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 7: done to be able to say that you will not

268
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 7: support him, that you will not vote to put him

269
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 7: back in office?

270
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: What more do any of us need to see? Well,

271
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: actually that was going to be my question, So I

272
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: was channeling you your topic.

273
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there's identity politics. It's Friday's right there,

274
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 6: trying to paint me into the corner, trying to call

275
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 6: me Magan.

276
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, this league do you.

277
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 6: Mean in the same corner. Also, I'm my own man.

278
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 6: I make my own decisions.

279
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: I voted for him.

280
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 9: Twice, that he was the best.

281
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: Pressure him, let him answer. It's his turn.

282
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 6: You're banging on that trash can, just like the Astros

283
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 6: did a few years ago, and as I will continue that.

284
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 6: I think that it's important to when two people are

285
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 6: the final two people that you choose the person that

286
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 6: you felt was the best person for the job. But

287
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 6: if his first opponent. His first opponent talked down to

288
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 6: the people of this country. His first opponent opponent thought

289
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 6: she was entitled. His second opponent stayed in the basement

290
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 6: and only came out in controlled environment.

291
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: But they both but.

292
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 6: They by the way, I wouldn't have voted for President

293
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 6: Reagan if he stayed in the basement. Okay, so both

294
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 6: times he was the best person for the job. How

295
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 6: you feel about him personally is totally different. But now

296
00:16:54,600 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 6: an economist say, yeah, economists say that he did an

297
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 6: exceptional job for our country. People will say he created

298
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 6: jobs for minorities more than any in this history. So

299
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 6: you can take things personally.

300
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: Together. Let's keep it together. Here's the question. There's four

301
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: and a half more minutes of that. If you want

302
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: to get to cut six. There's four and a half

303
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: more minutes. Oh yeah, yeah, good, it's good stuff.

304
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 2: I mean, all right, well, you know what Steve's coming on.

305
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: We got to do the news Steve's coming on. Maybe

306
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: after Steve leaves then we'll play more of it. It's

307
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 2: just like nobody, nobody wanted to give up here. Uh

308
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 2: It's it's like he's not telling you now, so you're

309
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 2: just gonna have to live with that, and again, who.

310
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: Steve Garvey votes for?

311
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 2: It does not affect your life or my life here

312
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 2: in California at all. I can think of a lot

313
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 2: of other things that should be discussed and debated that grossly,

314
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: gravely affects our life, but that's not one of them.

315
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: We will get Steve Barby on in minutes John Cobelt.

316
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 5: So you're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI

317
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

318
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: There's an old saying, go get woke, go broke. Yes,

319
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: get woke, go broke. You see it happened about Light,

320
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 2: You see it happened to Disney, you see it happened

321
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: to CNN to target. They all, you'll lose a lot

322
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: of money customers, viewers, followers because you get two woke

323
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 2: and happened in the Los Angeles Times too, and even

324
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 2: a billion dollars from Patrick soon. Chean can't save that

325
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: sinking ship, as we've talked about. Well, two more editors

326
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: in the last week have resigned, and today they announced

327
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifteen layoffs, which they only have five

328
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 2: hundred journalists left in the newsroom, which is way down

329
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: from what it used to be. I'll tell you all

330
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: about that coming up with Daniel Guss joining us. He's

331
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: an independent journalist the Gust Report. He's going to be

332
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: with us at two o'clock on the massive layoffs. As

333
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: times continues to swirl. Steve Garvey's coming on now, Steve Ready.

334
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: He's the Republican Senate candidate. The primary is coming up

335
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: on March fifth. He's up against three Democrats, Adam Schiff,

336
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 2: Barbara Lee, Katie Porter. Top two go on to November.

337
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 2: So if he can gather together all the non Democratic voters,

338
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: and that is more than half of the state, he

339
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: could make the top two and go on to November.

340
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 2: And so they had a big debate last night. Ran

341
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: on KFI, Steve, how are you again?

342
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 10: Good? I just took off my kevlar vest and it

343
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 10: had some dens in it, but I think I will

344
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 10: stood as the storm. It was a positive evening for

345
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 10: Team Garvey. And thanks again for character debate. And it

346
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 10: was quite a lightning. You know, last time I debated

347
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 10: it was sixty years ago. I think I was a

348
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 10: junior in high school. And to have been on the

349
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,959
Speaker 10: stage last night, which was an honor for me to

350
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 10: be the only conservative and I think great for my messaging,

351
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 10: reaching the people, you know, as one voice and growing

352
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 10: up against my opponents. And the moderators were good. But still,

353
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 10: you know, it was five against one, and a very

354
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 10: respected voice in Washington called me and he said, you

355
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 10: know what, he said, you did a better job in

356
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 10: the first game of the Senate playoffs and they would

357
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 10: have done in the first game of the league playoffs there.

358
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 10: So I think that was a pretty good compliment. Yeah, well,

359
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 10: very interesting.

360
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we've had we have eight minutes of

361
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: the back and forth. We played some of it already,

362
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: and I understand what their stick is is to turn

363
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: Trump into some kind of evil monster that's going to

364
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 2: destroy the country. But he has been president for four

365
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 2: years and that didn't happen. You voted for him twice.

366
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: You're not making a decision yet, or at least you're

367
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: not announcing it yet. So what I mean, that's really

368
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 2: not their business who you're going to vote for to

369
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 2: begin with. It's your choice whether you want to announce

370
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 2: it or not, because none of it has anything to

371
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 2: do with the day to day life of Californians.

372
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, and you could see that last night. I think

373
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 10: it was glaring people said the difference between you and

374
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 10: the three Progressives was first of all, demeanor. Second of all,

375
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 10: you were speaking to the people of California. They were

376
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 10: speaking ideology. I think last night spoke volumes for how

377
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 10: threatened they feel of me. You know, this was this

378
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 10: cabal that was going into this Senate election, the three

379
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 10: of them and one of the two women was going

380
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 10: to go against against Shipp and all of a sudden

381
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 10: this comes out of nowhere and shakes things up, and

382
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 10: now they got to think a strategy. And I think

383
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 10: last night it was interesting, you know, and doing pre

384
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 10: debate with some very good people and strategies.

385
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: For me.

386
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 10: We thought that Katie Porter was going to come after

387
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 10: me right off the bat, because I don't think she

388
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 10: ever thought she'd be in third position at this point

389
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 10: with a stretch run of six weeks, and we thought

390
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 10: that probably Congress and Schiff would be a little more detached,

391
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 10: and of course Barbara Lee, you know, and her tenure,

392
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 10: who weren't sure there. But it was interesting, not too

393
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 10: much attack in the beginning, because I think the moderators

394
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 10: were trying to get a feel for us also. But

395
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 10: as we started to begin into policy and U and

396
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 10: The question was, Steve, you've been vague on policy. Uh

397
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 10: you know, where are you? And I said, you know,

398
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 10: I'm not a career politician. I'm your neighbor of California.

399
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 10: I'm a Californian. I've taken four months now to travel

400
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 10: around California and listen to people. The people have told

401
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 10: me what they want and what they need, and theyrevocally

402
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 10: they said policy has been quick sent for them. They

403
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 10: can't seem to get up to breaking even every day.

404
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 10: I mean, I think the last poll it was eighty

405
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 10: eight percent of California's believe that they have lost money

406
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 10: or barely broken even that and that's a crime. It's

407
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 10: a crime against California, but it's happening throughout the country.

408
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 10: So what I've been doing is listening, not forming policy,

409
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 10: but positions on these things. And I think if you

410
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 10: think in terms of position, you think in terms of

411
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 10: collaboration and building consensus, and to talk about policy, you

412
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 10: talk about ideology. And my three opponents it's an ideology.

413
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 10: They're going back to Washington today or whatever it is,

414
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 10: and they're going to go back and they're going to

415
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 10: get more quotes for the product. But from the from

416
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 10: the party on. What I'm doing is back into California

417
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 10: in the next ten days and listen to the people again.

418
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 10: Listen to the farmers and ranchers. Let's talk about their

419
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 10: needs and water. Let's go back to the homeless. I've

420
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 10: been to San Diego, Los Angeles, as Sacramento, and I

421
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 10: got left at last night because I said, I want

422
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 10: to go and listen and to look people in the

423
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 10: eye and in the touch these people so that I

424
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 10: really know the soul of California. I don't know if

425
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 10: we got through. I saka, I'm running for the soul Californy.

426
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: You know what it is.

427
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 10: It is it's important to them for the I don't

428
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 10: care anybody in the artists. Last night it was usc

429
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 10: was going to be far left from my opponents. But

430
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 10: what was important last night with the people watching and listening.

431
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 2: No I I listened to a lot of it. And

432
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: maybe it's because it's on the radio, you actually came

433
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: across it was. It was a novel approach and a

434
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 2: refreshing approach, because the way it's supposed to work is

435
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 2: we send people to Washington as our representatives, and they're

436
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: supposed to take with them what our problems are what we.

437
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: Need to make life better.

438
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: And so you say, look, I'm talking to people, I'm determining,

439
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: you know, what's needed for a particular issue, and the

440
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: others were just preaching the ideology from the old handbook

441
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: not And as a listener, as a regular person, I'm thinking,

442
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 2: you know what, you're screaming about issues that either I

443
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 2: don't care about or you clearly have like a radical

444
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: idea about it. And and nothing is working. None of

445
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 2: your policies are working here in California.

446
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 3: You know.

447
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: It's so something's wrong here and you're not listening to people,

448
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 2: and just you saying, I'm listening to people, I'm seeing

449
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 2: what it is that's that they need fixed, and that

450
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 2: the other three aren't doing that because no matter what

451
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 2: people tell them, they would preach exactly the same way.

452
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you have one hundred people tell those three

453
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: what their what their problems are, and it wouldn't change

454
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 2: their speech in the slightest, not one word.

455
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know. And then and the stance on immigration.

456
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 10: You know, I've been to the border. They may have

457
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 10: been there years ago. They haven't been to the border

458
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 10: because they don't want to see it. They don't want

459
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 10: to see the honest truth I've been with the homeless.

460
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 10: They're not going to go and visit the homeless. Yeah,

461
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 10: it's not a nice place to be. And God bless them,

462
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 10: and my compassion for them, and I know yours in

463
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 10: Californians is we've got to get them off the street.

464
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 10: We've got to get them into a program that addresses

465
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 10: the mental illness which is caused by drugs. And yes,

466
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 10: well we'll provide shelter for but if you don't have

467
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 10: this process that makes them hole again, that affects their

468
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 10: their body and their and their minds and their soul

469
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 10: and get them back into society, then you're not solving

470
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 10: the problem. And career politicians are throwing money at it.

471
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 10: They'll sign off on a bill and they'll throw money

472
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 10: at it, and they say, well, I've done my part.

473
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 10: We have it well to touch people.

474
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: Keeping keeping the border open so billions of dollars of

475
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 2: fentinil can come over the border and then kill thousands

476
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 2: of people in the streets.

477
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: I don't know how they live with themselves.

478
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 2: They clearly have to steal off the border and stop

479
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: the fentinyl and stop you know, the supply line that

480
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 2: feeds all the people that are that are are dropping

481
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 2: dead from it.

482
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, first of all, when you when you

483
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 10: see the people coming off across the border, the first

484
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 10: thing you see the people that have taken weeks to

485
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 10: come there and be told, oh, come across, Yes, the

486
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 10: border's open, come across, come to American you know, land

487
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 10: of milk and honey and so forth. But what about

488
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 10: the humanity of Californians, of Arizonas, of people in Texas

489
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 10: at the border. I mean, these people are filtering through

490
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 10: I just said an interview in Current County, the DA there,

491
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 10: and it's filtering through Current County, and it's filtering through

492
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 10: San Diego County and that where we are Kshella, you know,

493
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 10: and some are saying some are moving on. But it's

494
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 10: infiltrating this country and it's putting a stress on life

495
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 10: as we know. It putting a stress on our pockets

496
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,719
Speaker 10: because we're going to pay for a lot of this warfare.

497
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 10: So it's got to start. We've got to close the border.

498
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 10: Got to take a deep breath. There is a process,

499
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 10: legal process. It's that they'repit around for generations to come

500
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 10: to America and become a legal citizen. And tens of

501
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 10: thousands of people are in their country of origin, have

502
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 10: gone to the embassy, are now sitting there and saying,

503
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 10: wait a minute, there's eight million illegal aliens who jumped

504
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 10: ahead of us. I mean, that's not fair.

505
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: Can you hang out for another segment?

506
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 10: Absolutely, you got time?

507
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Steve Garvey, Republican Senate candidate.

508
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

509
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 5: six forty.

510
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: We continue with Steve Garvey and he had a debate

511
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: last night. Have called that Adam Chef, Barbara Lee, Katie Porter,

512
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: the Democrats shouting, and then Steve Garvey, to my ears,

513
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: trying to be reasonable. Steve, Well, just to continue on

514
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 2: the path that we were going. They've had their run

515
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 2: running things the last few years. The border is a

516
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 2: complete disaster. Inflation has really screwed with people, especially you know,

517
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: you look at five dollar gas that we've had in California,

518
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: and the food prices are up, you know, twenty twenty

519
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: five to thirty percent. They're not up three percent. Food's

520
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: up thirty percent in a lot of cases, and so

521
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: it's not working. Whatever their ideas are, it's not working.

522
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: Then you add all the homelessness, homelessness, the drug addiction,

523
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: and the crime in California. Their way has been a

524
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: big failure, and I think people might be open to

525
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 2: your way of saying, whoa, let's calm down, listen to

526
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 2: each other, work together, because this is is a failure right.

527
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 10: Now, tim work and in the world's watching. I mean,

528
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 10: we're the leader of the free world. We carry the

529
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 10: Church for democracy and at the beginning of this administration

530
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 10: after Afghanistan and all the decisions made, not only only

531
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 10: the ones you were talking about, which you're decimating this country.

532
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 10: I mean we're imploding from within if we don't get

533
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 10: good common sense representatives in place soon, especially with this race.

534
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 10: So what we have to do is look where the

535
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 10: failure has been swa washed. It's the administration. Look at

536
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 10: our career politicians. They've been given time at Katie Porter

537
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 10: last night was trying to say she wasn't a career politician,

538
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 10: which I thought was very interesting. And now let's get

539
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 10: Commonson's voices like mine. A lot of good men and

540
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 10: women who are out there have been told you can't win,

541
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 10: you know, don't even run well. I think when people

542
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 10: are coming up to me in saying see thank you

543
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 10: for running. We're proud of you. What can we do?

544
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 10: Stand with me, share my voice, share it with people

545
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 10: that you think could carry this voice, Nellie, especially in

546
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 10: the state of California to begin with. And then back

547
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 10: to Washington. So, like you said, this all happened on

548
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 10: their watch. And a very good CEO friend of mine

549
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 10: from the big company said, she said, it was up

550
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 10: to me, I'd do a job review of each of

551
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 10: them and fire them. They haven't done the job, they

552
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 10: haven't represented the people, and they talk Washington, but really

553
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 10: most of the time they're running for a job. I

554
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 10: mean for them, it's a job. For me, this is

555
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 10: personal to represent the people of California, my neighbors.

556
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: Well, they don't seem to want to admit about all

557
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: their policies that have failed. That's what's excruciating about listening

558
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 2: to it. They don't really want to touch the border,

559
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: or touch homelessness, or talk about the very high cost

560
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 2: of living. They just repeat their same worn out slogans.

561
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 2: They shout all their slogan. I mean, maybe it was

562
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: the radio, but you came across as a normal person

563
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 2: and they came across as crazy people.

564
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: That's what I thought like that, I'm listening to crazy

565
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: people here.

566
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 10: When people are on the defense, they know they're wrong,

567
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 10: what do they shout? They try to shout over you,

568
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 10: they interrupt you. So I was ready for that last night.

569
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 10: There were times where they tried to interrupt and shout

570
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 10: over me. And there are times where I would look

571
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 10: as the people watching last night and think this is crazy.

572
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 10: These people are representing us, And there are times that

573
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 10: I had to keep messaging. So I talked over them,

574
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 10: and I looked at the moderators and they gave me

575
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 10: extra time because they thought he's saying something that's important

576
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 10: for the people they're responsible to, and that's the audience.

577
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 10: So that's what we're doing with My journey is this

578
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 10: next six weeks, running towards the primary and being in

579
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 10: the top two. By the way, I want to win it. Yeah,

580
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 10: I'm not running place. I'm running to win the primary,

581
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 10: and then all that's off, and then Californians are going

582
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,479
Speaker 10: to look at the two of us and they're going

583
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 10: to have to make a choice. Are they going to

584
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 10: make a choice for their future and their children's future

585
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 10: and their grandchildren's future with somebody that can lead responsibly

586
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 10: or are we going to We're not gonna stay status

587
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 10: quo with what's happening to us now. We're going to

588
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 10: continue to go farther and farther downhill. We're going to

589
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 10: have our rights taken away. Like Congressman Ship said last night,

590
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 10: deconstruct the courts, the Supreme Court. He wants to deconstruct.

591
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 10: He wants to ploot it so they can control it.

592
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 10: So you know, there's the time to stand out at

593
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 10: any time and the last couple of generations. Now's the

594
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 10: time because it's a one party state. And by the way,

595
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 10: Wall Street and Main Street are completely divided. The hardworking

596
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 10: middle class that's left this state eight hundred thousand to

597
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 10: a million people. We're good tax paying people, and they

598
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 10: left because they couldn't get ahead. Let's do something where

599
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 10: and I think you may have gotten my vessage. I'm

600
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 10: a free market capitalist. Let people compete, Let's give them

601
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 10: a chance. Let's cut those taxes down, Let's open up

602
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 10: the pipes and get oil and gas running again. Let's

603
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 10: put some money in the pockets of hard work in Californians.

604
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 10: Let them spend it as to how they would like

605
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 10: to know for their children and families and that's when

606
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 10: we're going to get back the Californian that's the heartbeat

607
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 10: of America. Like I said, when I first started running,

608
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 10: I remember it was the heartbeat of America. Now it's

609
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 10: just a murmur. We can turn it around because the

610
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 10: vibrancy of California, even though it's been dull, has always

611
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 10: been the people. And if the people speak, we'll get

612
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 10: back to where we should be in this country in

613
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 10: the world.

614
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 2: Steve, it was good having you on and we'll talk

615
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:48,759
