Like I assumed that the pitchforks and 35 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 3: the Tea Party all started with you in California, but 36 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 3: apparently you brought it with you. 37 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: No, we knocked off the governor in the early nineteen 38 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: nineties Florio, a Democrat. He had raised he and the 39 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: legislature had raised taxes at the time is the largest 40 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: single tax increase by a state in US history. 41 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: And they made. 42 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 3: Until you came out to until you came out to California, 43 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 3: and we had to deal with Schwarzenegger doing it here 44 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 3: right exactly. 45 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: And then then you're the. 46 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 3: Common denominated maybe you're the common denominated maybe wherever you go, 47 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 3: taxes follow. 48 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: That has happened because we went the station, New Jersey. 49 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: We showed up in early May in nineteen ninety and 50 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: it was six weeks later this massive tax increase, and 51 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 2: we ended up drawing tens of thousands of people a 52 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: tax revoult rally, and then all hell broke loose, so 53 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: that that was. 54 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: Don't be surprised if Governor Desantus of Florida or Governor 55 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 3: of Abbott of Texas and by you to visit, but. 56 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: Don't ask you to stay. 57 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, could you do you think there is any chance 58 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: in our lifetime that people in California are going to 59 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 2: get fed up with what's happened? 60 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 3: You know. It's one of those situations where before I 61 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 3: used to say yes most assuredly, you know, and then 62 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 3: days turns into weeks, weeks turns into months, months turns 63 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 3: into years, years turned into decades, and you realize there's 64 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 3: so much money in this state that you just wonder 65 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: can they just keep doing it living off of all 66 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 3: this coastal money? And then you think, no, they can't. 67 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 3: And then I had something on the on my site 68 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: a couple of days ago where they there's the Public 69 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: Policy Institute of California now did that actual legitimate data study, 70 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: and far more conservatives are leaving the state and far 71 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 3: more liberals are coming into the state. Well, if that keeps. 72 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: Happening, you know, we got a problem. 73 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: And that that jives with what I've heard, because I've 74 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: had friends tell me we've got people coming out here 75 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 3: from California, we don't want them, and then three four 76 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: months later they'd be like, actually, never, the people you're 77 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: sending us are great. You know, these are friends of 78 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 3: mine and they're in Idaho, they're in Tennessee, and they're like, 79 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: we're getting we're getting your conservatives are coming to see us, 80 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 3: and so you. 81 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: Know, yeah, our sugs had the common sense to get out. 82 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. So I I do think they're you know, 83 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 3: in the last election, we saw noticeable differences. Republicans got 84 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 3: more votes than than they have in I bet I 85 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised if in an entire generation, you know, 86 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 3: the way Trump Trump has put together a different kind 87 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: of coalition, and now he's bringing in young men, he's 88 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 3: bringing in union regular day to day union workers, as 89 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: you know, and a lot of these more intellectual elites 90 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 3: have gone off to the Democrat Party. But it's really 91 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 3: you know, so so I think there's hope, you know, 92 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 3: to be honest with Yeah, I was just I was 93 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 3: just saying, I was I thought the next best thing 94 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 3: for us would have been, uh, the former vice president, 95 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 3: miss Harris running for governor, because I think that she 96 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 3: would have been a great, great representative of how things 97 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 3: have gone wrong. So I was actually kind of disappointed 98 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 3: that she decided yesterday not to run. I think that 99 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 3: was a mistake on her part. But you know, running 100 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 3: against her was easy because she I mean, this is 101 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 3: the woman who I mean, arguably she either secretly ran 102 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 3: the country for the last two years or she had 103 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 3: lunch with the president every week knew that the guy was, 104 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 3: you know, eating oatmeal at lunch and didn't say anything. 105 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 3: But either way, I mean, you know, what a great 106 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 3: person to have run for governy California. I think that 107 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 3: was turned it into like who wants to really be 108 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: the governor? And I could see I mean some people 109 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 3: want to say maybe Harris couldn't raise the money, that 110 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: there was a hangover because she represents Oh you let trumplin. 111 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 3: I think at the end of the day, the job's 112 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 3: just not that attractive, because who in the heck wants 113 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 3: to deal with the homeless crisis, with the housing crisis, 114 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: with the unemployment scam of twenty billion dollars, with the 115 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 3: high speed rail, illegal alien funding. I mean, all you 116 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 3: got to do is look at the topics that you 117 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 3: discuss on your show in like a week, and who 118 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 3: would want to be governor of this state? 119 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: I agree with you. 120 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,559 Speaker 2: I wrote to somebody last night that it's too much work. 121 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: It's hard work, and you're still going to deal with 122 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: the extreme insanity of the legislature. And I don't think 123 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: she had any desire. Plus, I don't think she has 124 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: the only intellectual capacity to somehow bring a compromise together 125 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 2: between normal people and the insane that are in the Assembly, 126 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: in the state Senate. I mean, you need some kind 127 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: of special powers to thread that needle, and she doesn't 128 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 2: have them. I mean, she doesn't have anything. She was 129 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: an accidental candidate. You know, there was no interest in 130 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 2: her from the voters in twenty nineteen. But because the 131 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: summer of twenty twenty was so nuts, Biden selt he 132 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 2: had to, you know, check some boxes so we could 133 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 2: have the first black female vice presidential candidate. And then 134 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 2: he went I call her the. 135 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 3: Right I call her the accidental vice president. Yeah, and 136 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 3: she she had authority over nothing. As a matter of fact, 137 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 3: the only thing I think she actually had authority over 138 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: was supposedly she was the borders are and look how 139 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 3: that worked out. I mean, it's so clear with how 140 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 3: quickly President Trump was able to lock down the border 141 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 3: within like a month of coming into office that it 142 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 3: was a willful intent by the Biden administration. Not Biden, 143 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 3: because he wasn't wilfully intending anything. He's checked out all 144 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 3: the people around him willfully said how many Illeal Aliens 145 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 3: can we get into this country while we have the 146 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 3: White House? 147 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: I agree with you, And. 148 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 3: Then Trump just shut again because anyway, let me, let me, 149 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 3: let me, let me feed off of each other, have 150 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 3: an aneurysm. 151 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: Let me ask you. 152 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: Let me ask you one one more thing going back, 153 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: because I saw that story you did a couple of 154 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: days ago, and I was going to talk about it 155 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: on the air. In fact, I'll find it and and 156 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: do that next about all the people leaving and then 157 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 2: the people replacing them being very liberal Democrats. But here 158 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: is the thing I haven't understood, is that the issues 159 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: that I talk about a lot here, Let's say, let's 160 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 2: do the homelessness right. That's disgusting to everybody, regardless of 161 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 2: your politics. I never thought homelessness was political. It's like 162 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 2: nobody wants vomit and thess and needles and crazy people 163 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 2: screaming at them environment mental patience to tell me. 164 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 3: So, your question is either why isn't everybody leaving? Or 165 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 3: why isn't anybody Why isn't everybody doing something? I actually 166 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 3: have the answer to that question, which is Republicans, Conservatives, 167 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 3: and Democrats have a much different mindset about how they 168 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 3: approach things. It takes that maverick individualist person to conceive 169 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 3: of the idea of packing up your stuff and going 170 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 3: and getting a new start somewhere. And I think more 171 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 3: liberal people are just not wired to have an individual 172 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: streak like that, and they're collectivist. And frankly, if you're 173 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 3: a liberal, you may not like all the homeless stuff, 174 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 3: but there's other stuff you do like and maybe you're 175 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: not quite as upset. But I think the biggest issue 176 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, John, is it takes 177 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 3: a certain kind of fed up person to say, you know, 178 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 3: I'm going to throw out every single tile and go 179 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 3: into the scrabble bag and get a whole new set 180 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 3: rather than just picking two new tiles. And that's my 181 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 3: analogy for what it takes to say I'm going to 182 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 3: move to a state I've never been to in my 183 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 3: entire life with whether that sucks compared to where I live, 184 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 3: because it's that bad here. And you know what, I 185 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 3: can have a house there with a car and a yard, 186 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 3: and my kids can go to a good school where 187 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 3: you know, people say a prayer at the. 188 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: Beginning of the day. 189 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 3: I mean, is that that much to ask for it? 190 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: Here in California? 191 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 3: It is? 192 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 2: All right, John good talking with you.

I 220 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: had it in my bag here and I walk around 221 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 2: with a bag of news stories just in case somebody 222 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: demands a radio show like on the spot spontaneously. Yeah, 223 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 2: you know, I could be out at a restaurant, walking 224 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 2: on the sidewalk and somebody wants a radio show. Do 225 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 2: I have material? Just set up a table on a 226 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 2: microphone and I can go, Really. 227 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 4: You would do that if somebody asked you to. 228 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 5: I could do that, But would you would I? Well, 229 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 5: they'd have to pay a lot of money, they'd have 230 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 5: to be well, Okay, yeah, this is not a charity here. 231 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 5: I'm not donating time to a nonprofit. Okay, the parent 232 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 5: company's doing okay, running this show. So we're just getting 233 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 5: a little peace. 234 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 2: But what he wrote what he wrote and is, and 235 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 2: we kind of knew this viscerally, but a lot of 236 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: people who find homelessness disgusting and crime frightening have gotten 237 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 2: up and left. 238 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: And that's why. 239 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 2: As the state gets worse, the voting is more lopsided 240 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 2: towards progressives who bring us all this filth and danger. 241 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 2: Between twenty and twenty twenty four, he looked at numbers 242 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 2: from the Public Policy Institute and found they looked at 243 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 2: voters who pecked up and left California. Now, only twenty 244 00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 2: five percent of California's registered voters are Republican, but when 245 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 2: you looked at the people who were leaving, it was 246 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 2: almost forty percent. Forty percent Republican. And while Democrats in 247 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: this state registered forty five percent of the population. When 248 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 2: you look at the politics of people moving in, they 249 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 2: register at a fifty four percent rate, So the average 250 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: in the state is forty five percent Democratic, but the 251 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 2: new people moving in are fifty four percent Democratic, and 252 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 2: Republicans are twenty five percent of the state. But the 253 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 2: ones moving out, that's forty percent of those fleeing. So 254 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 2: you see over time what happens is you have one 255 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 2: party rule, lopsided rule, and then the most progressive elements 256 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 2: of the Democratic Party have taken over all the leadership. 257 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: There are moderate normal Democrats, but they're too frightened because 258 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 2: the progressives, mostly out of San Francisco, have all the power, 259 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 2: and the normal Democrats are weak and cowardly. And there's 260 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 2: another thing going on here. It looks like see analysts 261 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 2: who are often wrong, always looked at why people move, 262 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 2: why people move out of California, and there's some obvious targets. 263 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 2: Housing prices are crazy, the taxes are crazy. Can't run 264 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 2: a small business here because of all the regulations. But 265 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 2: this pPIC research revealed something deeper. Politics matters more than 266 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 2: a lot of analysts would acknowledge. Fleischman writes, Republicans who 267 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 2: feel politically homeless in this state dominated by one party 268 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 2: rule are making a calculated decision to seek out places 269 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 2: where their values align with the local government. When you 270 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: live in a state where your voice feel are relevant, 271 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: where policies constantly move in directions that contradict your core beliefs, 272 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: the logical response is to find somewhere that welcomes those principles. 273 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 2: So for every Republican who moves into California, almost five 274 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 2: leave because people are sick of the progressive one party 275 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: rule because. 276 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: Of something concrete. 277 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: Look at what it produces, extremely high taxes, all these 278 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: drug addicts and mental patients running amuck in the street, 279 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: the feces, the vomit, the needles, and then the criminals 280 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 2: running amuck stealing whatever they want without any punishment. So 281 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 2: the Republicans have headed to places like Texas, Florida, and 282 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: Arizona where the taxes are lower. I mean Florida, the 283 00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 2: income taxes not existent, and they enforce laws, and they 284 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 2: don't put up with drug addicts and mental patients laying 285 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 2: in the streets by the tens of thousands. 286 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: So when you're sitting. 287 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: Around waiting for everybody to wake up, a lot of 288 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 2: people did wake up and they got out. 289 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: They left already. You didn't wake up. You stayed. 290 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 2: And shockingly, the people moving in are not looking around 291 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 2: and saying, oh my god, this is really awful. 292 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: Who's running this place? Hey, I'll vote for more of 293 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: that now. 294 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 2: It's like, can you imagine, I mean, can you imagine 295 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 2: if they got rid of all the homeless people, all 296 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 2: the mental patients, all the drug addicts, put the criminals 297 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: away for good, cleaned up all the disgusting garbage, and 298 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: California would look beautiful again and would feel safe. There'd 299 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 2: be so many people here. That's what's shocking is California 300 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 2: was the most desirable place in the entire excuse me, 301 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 2: in the entire. 302 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: Nation, all our lives. 303 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 2: Since I was a little kid, watching the Rose Bowl 304 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 2: in the Rose Parade on TV, or watching Rams games 305 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: on Sundays, I'd see southern California in the wintertime back 306 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 2: east in New Jersey. You know, at four o'clock, the 307 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 2: four o'clock game on the East Coast, that was a 308 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 2: Rams game or a Chargers game, and everybody's standing there 309 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: in the sunshine and shirt sleeves because it's you know, 310 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 2: seventy degrees here or better. And I'm back in New 311 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 2: Jersey as a little kid. I'm looking outside and it's 312 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 2: cold and gray and windy, and at dark the sunset's 313 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 2: at four point thirty and it's starting to rain. I'm 314 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 2: thinking I would see that on TV and I go, 315 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 2: that's that looks like fun. People don't feel that anymore. 316 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 2: When I go to Florida, my wife and I were 317 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 2: talking to the guy we were going going kayaking, and 318 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: so kayak guy was setting up our our kayak and 319 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 2: telling us, you know what we have to do, and 320 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 2: he said, where are you from?

And that's what I don't understand. 333 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 2: How do people move to San Francisco and see the 334 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 2: open air drug markets and the people bent over on 335 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 2: fentanyl and all the crazy people like the bank like 336 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 2: it went for a red light.
