Welcome, how are you to the Clay 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton Show. I'm John Cobalt filling in 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: for Claying Buck today and I want to thank them 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: for giving me the opportunity. I'm normally on Can't Find 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 1: Los Angeles every afternoon doing a radio show and have 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: been out here for a long time and it's really 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: a lot of fun to be able to be on 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: Clay and Bucks Network today. And what I wanted to 10 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 1: talk about, and we've got a lot of material here 11 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: is since Kevin Newsom has become undisputably the top Democratic 12 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: candidate for the twenty twenty eight race, he is he 13 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: is a piece of work, and there's a lot of 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: detail that you probably haven't heard about because I don't 15 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: think the national media has covered him very much. And 16 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: when you've probably seen all the video and all the 17 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: news stories, especially on Fox News about what a disaster 18 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: California is, and when you see that kind of coverage, 19 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: I always wonder, I'm sure you do, it's like, all right, 20 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: are they taking things out of context? Are they cherry picking? 21 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: Is this one isolated block or town. Is it really 22 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: like this in much of the state, And the answer 23 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: is yes. What you're seeing on television the way California 24 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: is covered, it is that bad, especially if you're in 25 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: the big cities. It cannot be overstated just how difficult 26 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: life is in places like Los Angeles and Santa Monica 27 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: and in San Francisco. It is a mess. It's a 28 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: mess coming from Gavin Newsom's policies. It is a mess 29 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: coming from local policies, city councils and mayors. It is 30 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: a progressive nightmare out here. And I want to tell 31 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: you just a brief rundown, because whenever you utter an 32 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: opinion these days, people want to dismiss saying, oh, well, 33 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: you're just blank, and they give you a label. Oh 34 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: you're just conservative, or you're just a Republican, or you're 35 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: just some kind of hater. And then I always think 36 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: it's like, no, no, this is real life here in California. 37 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: This is what normal people who are not overly political 38 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: talk about all day. This is the only thing non political, 39 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: non partisan, ordinary people talk about. Because life can be 40 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: really difficult and frustrating. And so when I was a kid, 41 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: I grew up in New Jersey in clebrig New Jersey, 42 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: and you know, you know, the winter's in the Northeast, 43 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: They're long, they're cold, sunsets at four point thirty in 44 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: the afternoon. I'm eight years old, and the ray of 45 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: hope when you're in the middle of winter, let's say 46 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: in December, is I turned on the television and I 47 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: would see late afternoon football games from the West Coast. 48 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: I'd see games from Los Angeles games, San Diego Chargers, 49 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders, and I'd see sunshine right because there's 50 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: three hours earlier, sunshine, people in short sleeves, beautiful women 51 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: in the stands, and I'm thinking, wow, this and this 52 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: is an eight I thought, well, this is magical, this 53 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: is wonderful. And you know, then there was the Rose 54 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: Parade every year, so it buried in my head. It's like, 55 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,559 Speaker 1: when I grew up, I want to go live in California. 56 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: That was the dream because it was so wonderful. And 57 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: eventually I fast forward, maybe about twenty years, my wife 58 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: and I got to move to Los Angeles. I got 59 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: a job offer from KFI back in the nineties, and 60 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: I thought, well, this is exactly where I wanted to 61 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: be and we drove around our first three weeks here 62 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: before I went on the air, and we went everywhere 63 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: from the Mexican border through San Diego and San Francisco. 64 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: San Francisco at the time, I almost dropped dead because 65 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: of its beauty. I thought, this is the most gorgeous 66 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: city I've ever seen in my life. La was fun 67 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: and exciting, the beaches, the weather, and you know, eventually, 68 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: well we made a home. We made a home here 69 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: and raised three kids, and then about ten years ago 70 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: everything started going to hell. And it was gradual. You know, 71 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: it's first you don't you shrug it off, saying, well, 72 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: all right, they'll take care of it. It's a bad policy, 73 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: bad idea. Let me start with the homelessness, because the 74 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: homelessness has infected and overrun the city of Los Angeles, 75 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: the city of Santa Monica, which used to be a jewel, 76 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: San Francisco, of course, Sacramento. And it's a policy from 77 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: the top on down where most of the homeless are 78 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: not people quote down on their luck, who lost their 79 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: job a couple of weeks ago and can't make a 80 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: rent payment. Most of them are are drug addicts, just 81 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: crazed drug addicts. The rest of them are mental patients. 82 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: It's as if they opened a mental institution and let 83 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: everybody run free. Now, the drug addiction can make you 84 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: mentally ill. The mentally ill people turned to drugs, so 85 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: it mixes together. I saw a UCLA study where three 86 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: quarters of the homeless they estimated were mentally ill and 87 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: three quarters were drug addicts. Well that's one hundred and 88 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: fifty percent of the homeless. So that's what's going on. 89 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: And you can't fix most of them, at least not 90 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: by I don't know, opening up a retail store clinic 91 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: on the street. All these people need intensive treatment. They 92 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: need to be in beds, they need to be locked up, 93 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: they need long term therapy, they need to be on medications. 94 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: And instead, the official policy of Gavin Newsom is is 95 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: housing first, and it's the same thing with Karen vast 96 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: beara Los Angeles. Housing first, which means nothing is done 97 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: for their addictions, nothing is done for their mental illness. 98 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: They have thrown billions of dollars to build apartments and 99 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: and all kinds of shelters, except all you're doing is 100 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: you're taking the crazy person or the drug addicted person, 101 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: and you're putting them inside and then they wander out 102 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: during the day to buy their drugs and to act crazy. 103 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: And let me tell you, these people are terrifying. My 104 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: wife and I have been chased by people with sticks 105 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: running down the street screaming. We have been chased in 106 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: our car. We have witnessed people just You'll be walking 107 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: down the street, just going to the drug store, the 108 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: grocery store, and somebody will drop their pants and defecate 109 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: right in front of you. These are not anomalies. You 110 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: go to Hollywood, you go to Venice, you go to 111 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: places that used to be the tourism capitals of America, 112 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: and it's mind boggling what's allowed. And everybody calls and 113 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: everybody complains, and they have a new policy. No matter 114 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: who you call, they don't respond. They don't answer the phone, 115 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: they don't answer the email, they don't answer the door. 116 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: They don't care because I don't know. I think so 117 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: many people have checked out that they know they're all 118 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: going to get re elected. It is the strangest phenomenon. 119 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: I noticed things starting to change. Like I said, about 120 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: ten years ago, I also noticed how things changed with 121 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: people responding to issues and taking action. And it was 122 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: about the time the smartphone came out, and I actually 123 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: think people are so absorbed by their smartphones and so 124 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: absorbed by being on the internet and scrolling social media 125 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: and scrolling texting, that they have kind of lost connection 126 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: with their neighborhood and their and they're just letting things happen. 127 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: They've given up on forcing a Gavin Newsomer or Karen 128 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: Bass to do anything about it. Oh and by the way, 129 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: on the housing first, it's extremely expensive, it takes an 130 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: extremely long time, and there's very little housing that's built. 131 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: Most of the homeless money is stolen. And I'll explain 132 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: that to you coming up in a few minutes. It 133 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: is and there's one party rule. We've had a democratic 134 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: governor now ever since Arnold Schwarzenegger, so it's about fifteen 135 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: sixteen years. We've got super majorities in the Assembly, supermajorities 136 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: in the state legislature. We have a city council that's 137 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: entirely democratic. We've got a mayor that's entirely democratic. And 138 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: that's all we've had as mayor for twenty five years 139 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: in La and so they the same thing with the 140 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: Board of Supervisors that runs La County. It's five to nothing. 141 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: Democratic women and there is no Republican party here. There's nothing, 142 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: there's no resistance. There's a handful of legislators in the Assembly. 143 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: There's a hand and I it's the Republican out here. 144 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: Republicans out here are completely inept, completely feeble, impotent. There 145 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: might be one or two guys. And so we're locked down. 146 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: And during COVID we were literally locked down. We had 147 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: the worst COVID shutdown rules in the whole country. And 148 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: so it is what you're seeing in the national news. 149 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: And Gavin Newsom is behind it all. And I told 150 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: a friend of mine the other day, old friend who 151 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: normally votes Democratic. I said, look, I'm not telling you 152 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: to vote for Republican. I'm just saying you got to 153 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: find another Democrat. You do not want Gavin Newsom. You 154 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: do not want him running the country. Got to live 155 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: here every day to understand just what a disaster that 156 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: would be. I will play you when we come back 157 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: a clip of Gavin Newsom so you could get a 158 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: little window into his character and see how quickly he 159 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: will lie. And he will change his lie two or 160 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: three times in the middle of a conversation. They'll say 161 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: anything to get out of a conversation to gain the 162 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: upper hand, to make a point, and it's actually fascinating. 163 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: It has to do with the famous Palisades fire. Also 164 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: later on in the show, we're gonna have Katie Grimes 165 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: on californiaglobe dot com. Katie has this website and it's 166 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: filled the breach because you may have wondered, as I 167 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: was telling you about the decay of California, well where's 168 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: the media covering this? Well, on a local basis, they 169 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: don't scattered stories here and there if something egregious happens, 170 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: but they don't cover it. They run protection for everybody 171 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: in the legislature, for Newsom, for Karen Bass by simply 172 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: not covering it. It's fascinating. It's not that they're biased 173 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: with all their coverage. There is no coverage. It just 174 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: doesn't exist, and so a lot of people don't know 175 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: the depth of what's going on and how how how 176 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: how much money has been stolen. You think Tim Watson 177 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: Minnesota as the story and we're going to get to 178 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: that later as well. Gavin Newsom absolutely dwarfsome, So we'll 179 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: talk about all that coming up again. I wanted to 180 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: thank Clay and Buck for letting me fill in today. 181 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: I'm John Cobelt from KFI in Los Angeles on the Klay, 182 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Welcome back to the Klay, 183 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton Show. I'm John Cobelt from I 184 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: Can't find Los Angeles, filling in today and to take 185 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: you through the next few hours. And since I'm here 186 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and have been out here for over 187 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: thirty years, I thought i'd try to help you understand 188 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: the Gavin Usom phenomenon since in many polls, most polls, 189 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: he's the leading Democratic candidate to be president. And you 190 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: see him and he's always dressed in a beautiful, shiny suit, 191 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: and he's got great hair, and he's got a strong 192 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: chin and can seem very affable. But the state is 193 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: a disaster here, and I just if you haven't researched 194 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: much about him or really delved into him, I'm trying 195 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: to give you the first morning. Don't go near this one. 196 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: No matter what party you are, a Democrat, Republican, independent, whatever, 197 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: do not put this guy in charge of the country. 198 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: And I want to show you his character here. This 199 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: is a clip from the from the Palisades Fire. I 200 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: think everybody knows about that. And there was a woman 201 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: and let me get her name here, it's Rachel Darvish. 202 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: She's driving around looking at the devastation in her old 203 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: neighborhood where her old house used to be, and just 204 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: and she was with a Sky News reporter, like Rachel 205 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: was given the Sky News reporter a tour of the neighborhood. 206 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: And just by chance, they happened on the block where 207 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom was, you know, with some of his staff members. 208 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: And Newsom was literally walking across the street, and Rachel 209 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: Darvish jumped out of the car and ran up to Newsom, 210 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: and Newsom was really startled. Rachel wanted to know what 211 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: he was going to do about the fire and making 212 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: sure it doesn't happen again because Rachel's daughter school had 213 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: burned to the ground. And listen to the excuse that 214 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: Newsome gives as to why he can't talk to her 215 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: right now, and then listen how he changes his story, 216 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: like cut one, Governor, you got a second governor, Governor, 217 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: I live here, Governor, that was my daughter's school. Governor, 218 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: please tell me what you're going to do, but I'm 219 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: can I hurt of my promise I'm literally talking to 220 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: the President right now to specifically answer the question of 221 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: what we can do for you and your daughter?

I'm sorry, can I there's literally I've 224 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: tried five times. That's why I'm walking around to make 225 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: that I'm the president not taking your call because it's 226 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: not going through. Why I have to get self service. 227 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: Let's get it, Let's get it. I want to be 228 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: here when you call the President.

I have four kids. 232 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: Everyone who went to school there, they lost their homes. 233 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: They lost two homes because they were living in one 234 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: and building another. Kevin, please tell me, tell me what 235 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: are you going to do with the president. Right now, 236 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: we're getting we're getting the resources to help rebuild. Why 237 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: is there no water in the hydrants? Governor? It's all literally, 238 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: is it going to be different next time? It has 239 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: to be. It has to be. Of course, what are 240 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: you going to do to fill the hydrants? I would 241 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: fill them up personally. You know that I would fill 242 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: up the hydrants myself, but would you do that? I 243 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: would do whatever I can, but you're not. I see 244 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: the Do you know there's water dripping over there? Governor 245 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: there's water coming out there? You can use it. I 246 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: appreciate it. I'm going to make the call to address 247 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: everything I can right now, including making sure people to 248 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: make sure you can I have an opportunity to at 249 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: least tell people you're doing what you're saying you're doing 250 00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: cold somebody have a contact. Can I have your contact now? 251 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: But when she first ran up to him, he said, 252 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: I'm literally talking to Joe Biden right now. Well he 253 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: wasn't literally talking to him. He made that up. And 254 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: then he said, well, I've been trying to call five times, 255 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: and then it's like, well I can't get a cell 256 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: signal here. So when we come back, we'll talk more 257 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: about He's a shape shifter and you heard a great 258 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: example of that there. This is John Coblt filling in 259 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: on the Mike Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Buck back. Hi, 260 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: there to the Fight Travis and Buck Sexton Show. I'm 261 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: John Cobelt, your guest host for the day. From KFI 262 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,239 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, have a daily radio show in the afternoon, 263 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: and we've been talking about Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, 264 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: because I've lived out here for over thirty years, and 265 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: I explained earlier on that I came here having seen 266 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 1: California through a television screen thinking it was paradise, and 267 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: I got here and it actually was. And then over 268 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: the last ten years everything has just gone to hell. 269 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: The place has rotted out. It's not an exaggeration what 270 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: you hear, it's it's it's it's accurate. It's if anything, 271 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: it's underplayed. And at the at the top of the 272 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: food chain is Gavin Newsom, the governor. And he's been 273 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: governor for a long time now. He can't weasel out 274 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: and say it with somebody else's problem. He's been the 275 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: governor for seven years. Next year's his last eight years. 276 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: Before that, he was lieutenant governor. Eight years before that, 277 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: he was the mayor of San Francisco. And his character 278 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: is not existent. And I played a clip in the 279 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: last segment to demonstrate it. And I'm going to go 280 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: over like step by step. Here, this woman, Rachel Dervish 281 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: runs up to him, She's a distraught, very upset mother 282 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: in the Palisades. This is right in the midst of 283 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: fire week. Her home is burned down, her kid, her 284 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: daughter's school is burned down, and there's this reporter from 285 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: Sky News in London following her around as she goes 286 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: through the neighborhood. They're driving in a car. By coincidence, 287 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is on the block crossing the street. She 288 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: jumps out. Sky News follows her and gets this conversation 289 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: that we played and says, you know, he says, She says, Governor, 290 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: you know, can you do something? And his first line, 291 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: I'm literally talking to Joe Biden right now. And he 292 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: used the word literally, and she immediately picked up that 293 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 1: he was lying and said, well, let me talk to him. Oh, 294 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: he wasn't literally talking to anybody. He was holding a 295 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: disconnected phone. There was no Joe Biden on the other end. 296 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: By the way, what are the odds that if he 297 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: actually got through to Joe Biden, Biden would have been 298 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: awake to answer it. So he's not talking to Biden. 299 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: And then he changed the story, well, I've tried to 300 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: call five times. Five times. Oh, I thought you were 301 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: literally talking and then well, I'm trying to get cell service, 302 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: so you're not. You didn't. You weren't literally talking to him. 303 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 1: He isn't on the phone. You didn't try to call 304 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: five times because you don't have to sell service. You 305 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: can just look at the phone. You're not going to 306 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: keep dialing and dialing if you've got the no cell 307 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: service icon at the top of the phone. In fact, 308 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: you'd be getting in a car and driving downhill where 309 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: there is self service. He was just making it up 310 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: on the fly. This is what he does. I'll give 311 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: you another example, also connected to the fire. At various 312 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 1: times when he spoke of the fire, he lied and 313 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: said it was climate change. Well, then we discovered it 314 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: was an arsonist that set the original fire. Oh well, 315 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: then he lied and said he had pre deployed fire 316 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: trucks one hundred and ten of them throughout the mountain 317 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: range across Los Angeles. He didn't deploy any that would 318 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: be zero. He gives specific numbers, like I talked, I 319 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: called five times, Joe Biden, I put out one hundred 320 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: and ten fire trucks. There were zero fire trucks. It 321 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: wasn't climate change, it was a crazy arsonist. None of 322 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: the fires start out here in California because a climate 323 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 1: change zero. They start primarily because because of lightning, arson 324 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: or this is a big category that has sparked the 325 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: worst fires. Power lines fall down, electrical equipment starts sparking 326 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: because the major power companies out here, pged in southern 327 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: California Edison, don't maintain their wires, their poles. They're transformers. 328 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: Some of this stuff is one hundred years old, so 329 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: it falls apart, it falls over in the wind, and 330 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: it starts huge blazes. It's always electric companies. And if 331 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: it's not that, it's arsonists. And if it's not that, 332 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: it's lightning strikes, dry lightning in the summer out here, 333 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: it's like a desert phenomenon. Dry air comes in from 334 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: the desert and sparks the lightning. That's what starts the 335 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: vast majority of the fires. And there was the third life. Okay, 336 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: he said it was climate change. Then he said it 337 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: he pre deployed fire trucks. And then he said, well, 338 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,719 Speaker 1: he really had nothing to do with it because it 339 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: wasn't on state Land. Well weeks later we found out 340 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: it did start on state Land. It started on state 341 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: Land on the night of January first, this was called 342 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: the Lockman fire. This is a week before the Big 343 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: Palisades fire, and the LA Fire Department showed up and 344 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: put it out on New Year's Day morning, and then 345 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: within hours Newsom's Parks Department set down representatives to stop 346 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: the fire department from mopping up. When a fire department 347 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: mops up, they have to tamp down all the hotspots. 348 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: There were hot rocks, there were hot tree stumps, that 349 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: was smoldering, smoke coming out of the ground. You know, 350 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: the root system is still very hot. And these employees 351 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: from the State Parks Department, and there's video and photos 352 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: of this, basically chased the LA Fire Department off the 353 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: state land, probably saying no, why would they do that. 354 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: They did it because they didn't want the firefighters stomping 355 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: on the milk vetch plant. The milk vetch plant. Seriously, 356 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: there's a Latin name for it, the astrologus plant. And 357 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: there are now text messages memos where the fire the 358 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: Parks employees are telling the LA Fire Department basically get 359 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: off the land. The fire department wanted to bring in 360 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: a bulldozer to cut a fire break, and they wanted 361 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: to put out all the smoldering They said, no, you 362 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: can't do that. You will tear up the milk vetch plant. 363 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: It's an endangered plant. Why am I explaining all this 364 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: because six days later, in that exact spot, the winds 365 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: started blowing on January seventh, whipped up the smoldering fire 366 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: and turned it into the big one, turned it into 367 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: the huge blaze that we all watched or experienced for 368 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: a week. And it was because his state employees were 369 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: following state policy not to destroy the milkvetch plant, and 370 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: they actually kicked out the Los Angeles Fire Department. And 371 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: then he went around saying, well, the state had nothing 372 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: to do with it. The state was the cause of 373 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: the huge Palisates fire hit policies under his administration, military 374 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: and the new tactic now as all these bombshells come 375 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: out is everybody runs in highs. Nobody even bothers to 376 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: deny things anymore, Nobody contests the story anymore. They just 377 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: shut down and the beating out. And here in California 378 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: at least, and the national media too is so compliant 379 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: because he's the great Hope. They don't question anything. Again, 380 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: very similar to the Tim Walts situation. They knew that 381 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: story was going on with the fraud for seven years. 382 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: There were employees reporting it. There were occasionally scattered news stories, 383 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: but nobody followed up, and so for seven years all 384 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: the money could be looted in Minnesota under Tim Waltz's nose. 385 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: Here is the same thing. There's tremendously damaging information and 386 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: it's coming from a civil lawsuit filed by thousands of 387 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: Pacific Palisades residents and their attorneys are now subpoenaing records, 388 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: getting testimony, and now we're finding out what the real 389 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: story is. The Palisades burned down, six thousand plus homes 390 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: burned for the sake of the milkvetch plant because the 391 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: first fire was you could put out easily. And this 392 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: is what's astonishing about what's going on and how bad 393 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 1: it's covered in the news media. And believe me, a 394 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: lot of people they see Gavin Knewsome primping and preening around. 395 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: I think it physically ill. It's how cool? Were you kidding? 396 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: And this is just story. I told you, it was 397 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: just about that disaster in the Palisades. Oh, by the way, 398 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: just as a personal thing, I live about three miles 399 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: from the fire, and that week we had no power, 400 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 1: we had no water, and I wanted to go to 401 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 1: a hotel with my wife and we have a bunch 402 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: of pets and we but my wife wanted to stay 403 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: because she knew the looters would come and steal all 404 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: our stuff. And at first I thought that was an overreaction. 405 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: It turned out she was right. Seven homes in her 406 00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,479 Speaker 1: neighborhood got looted because it was completely dark, there was 407 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: no electricity whatsoever, and we had baseball bats all over 408 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: the house and my wife is walking around pacing around 409 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: the baseball bat, and so was I. In case a 410 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: bad guy got in and seven homes were looted, we 411 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: put up a lot of flashlights all over the place 412 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 1: to make it look like we were home, and we 413 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: had to hire a guy. We had to hire an 414 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: ex marine who stood in front of the house with 415 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 1: a loaded gun. He showed us his loaded pistol and 416 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: he said, I see him, I shoot him, I kill him. 417 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: That's what we resorted to. We had to hire. It 418 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: was somebody's electrician in the neighborhood who used to be 419 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: a marine, and he had a gun. And I remember 420 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 1: after I left, the guy in front of the house 421 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: to go to the hardware store to get flashlights. I thought, wow, 422 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: total breakdown of government. There's no fire, there's no police, 423 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: there's no electricity, there's no water, there's no nothing. It 424 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: was it was a total breakdown of civilization. And I 425 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: felt like I never felt in my life. Right. I mean, 426 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: we'll all grow up. It's like, well, somebody's going to 427 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: take care of us, right. The police will show up, 428 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: the fire department will show up, the government will take 429 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: care of things. You know, the mommy and daddy they'll come. No, 430 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: there was nothing. It was every man for himself. You 431 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: have to find a guy who owned a gun and 432 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: hire him to stand in front of your house. And 433 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: my son said, well what if what if he shoots 434 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: and kills somebody. It's like, I don't want to know. 435 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to be shot and killed. That's up 436 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: to him to make make his own judgment. And this 437 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: is this is what we were reduced to. And that 438 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: sounds like a once in a lifetime outrageous story, but 439 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: there's many versions of this going on every day throughout 440 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: the state, and LA just a complete collect apps in 441 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: ordinary government. I tell you more about this when we 442 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: come back in the next hour, we're gonna have Katie 443 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: Grimes on from California Globe and she's got a long term, 444 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: kind of global perception of what Gavin Newsom has been 445 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: to the state because she covers them every day. And 446 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: you're listening. I'm John Cobalt from Cafe Radio in LA, 447 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: and you're listening to the Klay Travis and Buck Sexton show, 448 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: the fire story, the pala State's fire story, and just 449 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: the incessant incompetence. And on top of them, on top 450 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: of the line the Gavin Newsom does as governor of 451 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: the state, there's just the practical day to day living. 452 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: And I just off the top of my head, during 453 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: a commercial break, wrote down I'm not going to read 454 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: them all here, but I wrote down like a dozen 455 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: categories where California is the worst or the highest or 456 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: the most and all the categories are bad categories. And 457 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: that's just off the top of my head. I'll give 458 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: you one example, which we talk about all the time. 459 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: We have the highest gas taxis in the state by far. 460 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: There's the Triple A has a state by state fuel price. 461 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: It's a ranking and it tells you the cheapest all 462 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: the way to the most expensive. You know how much 463 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: California gas goes for average is four twenty nine a gallon. 464 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: Many places it's five dollars a gallon in other states. 465 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking here in Oklahoma, it's two twenty three. The 466 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: average Colorado I was two thirty eight. Texas is two forty. 467 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: And you might say, well, you know, that's a left 468 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: wing Democratic state. What do you expect, except it's way 469 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: more than the other left wing democratic states. That's the 470 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: thing we stand by ourselves. I mean, we're at four 471 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: twenty nine. New York's only three h four. Where's Massachusetts go? 472 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: Massachusetts is two ninety six. Massachusetts is in the twos. 473 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: New Jersey I used to live there. That's a very 474 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: high tax state. That's two eighty four. So this is 475 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: I'm talking to the daily grind of just trying to 476 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: exist here. And this absolutely crushes the lower and middle 477 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: class in this state. So it's it's not just his lying, 478 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: it's just like, why would you do this? And you 479 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: know what all the taxes are for. It's the climate 480 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: change ob session, which is another big racket. There's several 481 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: big rackets in this state. Again along the lines of 482 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: the Somalian racket in Minnesota. It's billions and billions of dollars. 483 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: And later on I'll tell you about all the different 484 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: rackets that go on here. And we're going to talk 485 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: to Katie Grimes next from California Globe dot com and 486 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: she'll give you her assessment of Gavin Newsom as a 487 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: national political figure and a possible president. I'm really happy 488 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: to be here, John Cobelt from Cafe Los Angeles, here 489 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: on the Clay Travis at Buck Sexton Show
