1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: I Am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobalt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: Louke Penrose in for John Cobalt. 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 3: All this week, Well, Republican leader James Gallagher says that 5 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 3: there is going to be a response to Sacramento's attempt 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 3: to permanently jerrymander California's congressional map, and he says it's 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 3: just time for a two state solution. Assembly Member Gallagher 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 3: joins us on KFI. How did the press conference go today? 9 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 3: What was the reaction from the press? 10 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 4: Good to be on the show again, and yeah, it 11 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 4: actually went pretty well. You know, we rolled this out 12 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 4: and the basic gist is, hey, if Gavin Newsom is 13 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 4: going to strip us of our representation, take away our 14 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 4: congressional representatives so that we don't have a voice, then 15 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 4: we want a new state. And you know, quite frankly, 16 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 4: I think it's kind of been brewing for a while 17 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 4: that many parts of California, and I would say especially 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 4: Inland California feels completely unrepresented by this government and neglected. 19 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 4: Uh have done nothing to deal with the high cost 20 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 4: of living in this state, the crime, uh, you know, 21 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 4: the homelessness, you know, the devastation. It's a very poorly 22 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 4: run state, and I think we could do better. 23 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: Well, I'm looking at the map here. Obviously I'm in 24 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: I'm in the bad California on this new map. 25 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 3: So I'm hoping there's gonna be some kind of a 26 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 3: Republican Berlin airlift for those of us that tell you 27 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 3: that to get all the all the all the resources 28 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 3: and supplies will need because they'll they'll begin to starve 29 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 3: us out, there's no question about it. 30 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: But look, I think the point you're making is a 31 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: good one. 32 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 3: They are trying to, on purpose cheat and deny Californians 33 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 3: who politically and philosophically prefer to have a Republican represent 34 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: them in Congress. 35 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: They're trying to cheat and draw for their. 36 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 3: Own purposes to establish a congressional district that is lopsided 37 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: with another party's registration, which is the exact opposite of 38 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:12,839 Speaker 3: proper representation. 39 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: Right. 40 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 4: I mean, and you saw in this last election, right 41 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 4: that we had some really big swings, you know, especially 42 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 4: in inland parts of California and Latino voters. We had 43 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 4: twenty point swings in some areas of voters who voted 44 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 4: for Biden. But then voted for Trump in twenty twenty four. 45 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 4: And I think that's part of the reason that Gavin 46 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 4: Newsom and a supermajority are doing this. They see that 47 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 4: people are starting to make different choices. Prop thirty six 48 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 4: last cycle, you know, make crime illegal again. You know, 49 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 4: they lost those things, and I think they see they're 50 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 4: starting to lose their voters and say, hey, why not 51 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 4: rig it so that they can keep their power. And 52 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 4: you know, I think that's part of you know, their 53 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 4: calculus and pushing this forward. Well, you know, we're tired 54 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 4: of that, right and uh and they just so you know, 55 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 4: those those you know, those lines are not drawn and 56 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 4: Stone and I have had a lot of folks, like 57 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 4: folks in Orange County, LA other parts that hey, make 58 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 4: sure you bring us in. We want to be on 59 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 4: we want to be on the goods. 60 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure after this. 61 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: Is right, when this is over, there'll be uh efforts 62 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 3: to an x some of these counties where they see 63 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 3: the way the uh, the the progressive California is run 64 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 3: compared to the normal California live under that. 65 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, we know what it's like to live under a 66 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 4: progressive you know, California, and it's been terrible you know, 67 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 4: I mean, our prices of skyrocketed, our quality of life 68 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 4: has you know, lessened, you know, significantly, and many people 69 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 4: have just left the state. You know. Well, you know 70 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 4: what if we have the opportunity to truly you know, 71 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 4: govern in a different way, and and you know that's 72 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 4: the concept behind this, but there's some formal so yeah, no, 73 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 4: I just want I. 74 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: Want to come back to a point that you made 75 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 3: about they saw the writing on the wall. I agree 76 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 3: with you, assembly Member. I think that this has nothing 77 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: to do with Texas. Texas was just the opportunity. I 78 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 3: think the last election, the twenty twenty four election, what 79 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 3: people in what Democrats in California refuse to accept is 80 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 3: that Trump outperformed his numbers in California in twenty twenty 81 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 3: four from twenty twenty and those were outperformed from twenty sixteen. 82 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: In other words, he was growing in popularity among Californians, 83 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 3: not just Republicans. He flipped seven counties, including Imperial County. 84 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 3: Imperial County, California, which is like eighty five percent Hispanic 85 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 3: and Democrats like to tell you that, oh no, Trump 86 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 3: doesn't like Hispanics and they don't like him. 87 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 5: Well, somebody likes him, So I think you're right. 88 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 3: I think Democrats saw the writing on the wall and said, hey, 89 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 3: this movement that Trump has created is speaking to a 90 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 3: lot of Californian's Republican, Democrat and independent who want crime 91 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 3: under control, who want taxes under control, who want quality 92 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 3: of life restored, who want public safety. And I think 93 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 3: Democrats can't provide those those things don't know how to 94 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 3: do what or refused to and are running scared. 95 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 4: Right. No, I mean we picked up an assembly seat 96 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 4: in Imperial County, Jeff Gonzales was elected there that had 97 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 4: long been held by Democrats in that region. You know, 98 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 4: we picked it up. You know, you also see the 99 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 4: national numbers of Democrats just shedding registration right, and Republicans gaining, 100 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 4: you know, making significant gains and registered voters. That's happened 101 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 4: here in California as well. I mean, we've registered over 102 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 4: a million new voters in California since twenty nineteen. And 103 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 4: I think you know, the Democrats see that and look, 104 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 4: let's be here's the real facts. They're actually better at 105 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 4: jerrymandering than Republicans. You know, you look at places like Connecticut, 106 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 4: zero republic can members of Congress, but you know, statewide 107 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 4: they get forty percent of the vote. Republicans do same 108 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 4: thing in Massachusetts, zero members of Congress, right, but you 109 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 4: know there are Republicans there, you know. And so these 110 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 4: guys have already jerrymandered in many states, right, Illinois, Hawaii, 111 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 4: And then they talk about then they want to talk 112 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 4: about Texas. I mean, Texas right now has thirty percent 113 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 4: of their congressional delegation as Democrats, right, and if they 114 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 4: do what they're planning to do, they would they would 115 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 4: actually still be one percent better we are here in 116 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 4: California with only seventeen percent you know, Republican you know, 117 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 4: represent representatives in Congress. You know. 118 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's an incredible message, right that if Texas 119 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 3: goes forward to doing what they plan on doing, they 120 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 3: would be Democrats would be better represented in the state 121 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 3: of Texas than Republicans would be in California right now 122 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 3: before Gavin Newsom's planned to jerrymander. 123 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a fact. And if and if they go 124 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 4: forward with Gavin's Gavin and man, you know here in California, 125 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 4: and we'll only have seven percent, Yeah, Republicans represented in Congress, 126 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 4: even though we get around forty percent of the vote 127 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 4: in the state wide contest. So I mean, these are 128 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 4: the guys. The real story is Democrats want to rig 129 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 4: the elections to keep power, and of course they blame 130 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 4: some you know, they blame other people for things that 131 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 4: they're doing. 132 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 3: Some of them leader excuse me, James Gallagher, and some of them. 133 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: Thanks for coming on. I appreciate it, I love it. 134 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: I'm glad that you're going to get some attention around this, 135 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 3: and I think it helps to drive the point of 136 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 3: what the Democrats are doing is completely unfair and robbing 137 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 3: us of representation. 138 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: So thanks for coming on. 139 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 3: All right, when we come back, I'm going to go 140 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 3: through this map a little bit with you and find 141 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: out if you're in the good California or the bad 142 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 3: California if the two state solution becomes a thing and 143 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: we go through a Californian divorce. Louke Penrose in for 144 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 3: John Cobalt on The John Cobalt Show on KFI AM 145 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 3: six forty Live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app. 146 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 147 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,119 Speaker 6: six forty. 148 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: Louke Penrose sitting in for John Cobelt all this week. 149 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: The two state solution. 150 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 3: That's what Assembly Leader James Gallagher is calling this resolution 151 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 3: that he introduced today to split California into two states. 152 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: Now I understand that this is somewhat symbolic. 153 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 3: You may very well call it a stunt. The Boston 154 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 3: Tea Party was a stunt. So stunts matter, right, efforts 155 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 3: to raise awareness to unfairness matters. And he's got California 156 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 3: split up into two states here. So this would be 157 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 3: the bad California. The bad California would run up the coast. 158 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 3: It would start in San Diego, the County of San Diego, 159 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 3: County of Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis, Obispo, Monterey, 160 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 3: Santa Cruz, San Mateo, Santa Clara, uh all the way 161 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 3: up through the Bay Area, Yellow County, dips into Sacramento 162 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 3: jet that's the only dip into the inland that it goes, 163 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 3: and then up to Mendocino and Humboldt. That would be 164 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: one state. It'd be about ten million Californians and then 165 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 3: everything else would be the other state. The good California 166 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 3: would start Inland Riverside, San Bordino, Kerrn County to Larry 167 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 3: Kings Fresno and all the way up through the es 168 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 3: Central Valley and then Plaster County over. Oh we hey, 169 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 3: we get Lake Tapo. We have to have the salt 170 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 3: and sea too, that's a boo. But we do get 171 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 3: Big Bear. So my cabin in Big Bear would be 172 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 3: in one state and my house in Bad California would 173 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 3: be in another state. But I wouldn't need a passport, 174 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 3: not yet anyway. Let's see here Modoc Shasta County. Yeah, 175 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 3: so pretty much just the counties that touched the Pacific Ocean, 176 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 3: with a few exceptions up and around the Bay Area 177 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 3: would all be in the Bad California. Now, no news 178 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 3: on the new name. I don't know if it's gonna 179 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 3: be California and West California, like West Virginia, Good California 180 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 3: and Bad California's that works, It's accurate. 181 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 1: Rolls off the tongue. 182 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 7: Eastern Oregon and eastern Washington wanted to break away and 183 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 7: form their own republican state east of the mountains, where 184 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 7: everything is dry and cold. 185 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: Never happened. Now it hasn't happened yet. 186 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 3: We presume it never will happen, and that historically is 187 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 3: not a safe produmption. 188 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: Presumption. Why can't it happen? 189 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 3: Why can't the people of Oregon get to the point 190 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 3: where they say, I hate the people in Port I 191 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 3: want to be in Idaho. Well, why can't we reshape 192 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 3: state lines? I think we need to choose to. 193 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: Be more dynamic in America. 194 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 3: I'm always amazed with how hard it is to choose 195 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 3: daylight saving time. 196 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: Over the other one, like regular time. 197 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 3: Why is that like that seems to be such an impossibility. 198 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 3: And there's always talk of making election day a national holiday, 199 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 3: or at the very least moving into a Saturday. People like, Oh, 200 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 3: we can't. It's gonna take a lot of work. Why 201 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: does that take so much work? Why is that so hard? 202 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 3: Why can't we get you know, one time? It's a 203 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 3: it's I think we need to have national referendums. I 204 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 3: think that's really what needs to happen. I think we 205 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 3: need to move to as we have propositions here in 206 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 3: the state, we need to move to a system where 207 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 3: we have a national vote on a thing and it's 208 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 3: limited to one thing, and the whole nation votes on 209 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 3: election day.

It's 223 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: been a while, but it feels long overdue. 224 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 3: And populations change all the time.
