1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 2: We're on every day from one till four o'clock. After

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 2: four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app,

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: and you can listen to what you missed one o'clock hour.

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: You should be listening to because I go into what

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 2: I think is the truth about what's going on with

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: the Palisades and Bass and Newsom. I don't think Bass

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: has any intention of releasing more than a few permits.

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: They don't want Palisades rebuilt by the people who used

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: to live there. They wanted to be low income housing.

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: And Gavin Newsom announced just last night one hundred and

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: one million dollars available for a low income housing project. Meantime,

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: the homeowners can't get permits. Talk more about that later,

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: Talk more about that this hour. Gavin Newsom is the

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: center of what we're going to discuss this hollar. We

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: have Katie Grimes on from californiaglobe dot com. Katie, how

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: are you.

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 3: Hey, John? I'm well, how are you?

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm all right?

21
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: We got a lot to cover here. The first thing

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 2: I want to get into is the Gavin Knewso press

23
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: conference on Monday to talk about the six month anniversary

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: of the fire. Did Karen Bass ever make it to

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 2: that press conference?

26
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 3: No, she did not. She was fighting off ice at MacArthur.

27
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: Park, right.

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 2: That's That's what I realized, is like she never got there.

29
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: You know, she was yelling and screaming at the ice agents.

30
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: So it looks like, I mean, I'm reading your story

31
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: and he presented this as major progress has been made

32
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: with the fire cleaner.

33
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: Yes, talk about that was what was he doing?

34
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: Well, that's I mean, your guess is as good as mine, because,

35
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: as I described in today's story, what he said was

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: just like talking incursive. He was claiming that government had

37
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: moved at the speed of need and it's the most

38
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: world historical cleanup that's ever happened. And I'm thinking, could

39
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 3: anybody at this press conference possibly believe the garbage coming

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: out of his mouth? Because at the same time he

41
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: was speaking, so was gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton live in

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: front of a pile of debris in Pacific Palisades and

43
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: with cameras, you know, going all around him showing you

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: what it really looked like. So this was like a

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: really bad headfake.

46
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: I go to the Palisades every week. I live right

47
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: next door. It's still a disaster area. The Army Corps

48
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: of Engineers, the federal government has cleaned up a lot

49
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: of the residential lots, a lot of the business areas

50
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: are still a disaster, and there's these crumbling, burnt shells.

51
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: Of what used to be buildings. It's ugly, it's really awful.

52
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: And the homes it's all vacant lots, and the people

53
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 2: there can't get permits from BASS to start the reconstruction.

54
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know what

55
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 3: it's going to take to get mayor baths to start

56
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: issuing permits. It seems to me like some legal action

57
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: needs to happen. There's got to be some sort of

58
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: a class action lawsuit against the LA and the state.

59
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, because this is absolutely stunning. As you said,

60
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 3: I took a picture five months ago when I was

61
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: there in February of this burnt out shell of a

62
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: building which you could tell had been a really pretty building,

63
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: and a friend of mine who was there yesterday at

64
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: the press conferences, took a photo sent it to me

65
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: and I went, that's the same freaking building. Yeah, it's

66
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: just still such a disaster, and I'm kind of wondering, like,

67
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 3: where on earth is the media, Where is the LA

68
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: media screaming in Karen Bass's face every day wanting to

69
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: know why permits aren't being released.

70
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: We're getting continuous SOB stories about illegal aliens getting chased. Correct,

71
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: that's what's being take Yeah, that's what's being televised, a

72
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: carabass screaming at ICE officials. Now the fire has been

73
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: completely forgotten by by much of the media out here.

74
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: No care y, that's evident. Yeah, And if they're big enough,

75
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: they're now traveling with Gavin to South Carolina for his

76
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: presidential campaign launch. I think the people who live in

77
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: Pacific Palisades and Altadena and Malibu, probably most of WM

78
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: voted for Governor Newsom two or three times to elections

79
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 3: in a recall, they're the ones that should feel the

80
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: most betrayed right now. And there's just got to be

81
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: a way to get to these people because they're the

82
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 3: ones that need to demand something happened, because nothing's happening.

83
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: It's over seven thousand buildings in the Palisades, another seven

84
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: thousand plus in Altadena and then Malibu. I think it's

85
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: sixteen thousand building's total, And it's a couple of hundred permits,

86
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 2: about one hundred in the Palisades, about one hundred in Altadena.

87
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: And somebody calculated at this rate, it's going to be

88
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: four hundred years before all the homes are rebuilt, literally

89
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: four hundred years. And the pace is not picked up

90
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: at all. It's as slow as it was in the

91
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: first month. So I'm saying, here's what I'm thinking. This

92
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: is on purpose, obviously, And is it possible, because you've

93
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: been writing about Scott Wiener's bill to allow low income

94
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 2: apartment buildings to be built in residential neighborhoods, is it

95
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: possible that they're dragging their feet on the permits so

96
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: that the homeowners get sick of the insurance companies, get

97
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: sick of the bureaucracy and sell out to developers. And

98
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: now Palisades is going to be a low income apartment paradise,

99
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: and so is Alta, Dina, and maybe Malibu too. Maybe

100
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: I'm think and that's the plan, that there's a reason

101
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 2: for all this.

102
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: There's got to be a reason for all this.

103
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: Well, remember Gavin News pretty much said that like a

104
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 3: week after the fires took place, And what he was

105
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 3: saying is, you know, well, state law requires that, you know,

106
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: when we do any building now, no matter whether it's

107
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 3: rebuilding or new building, new construction. You know, so much

108
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 3: of it has to be low income housing, and so

109
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: much of you know, they have their formulas. Now I

110
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: agree with you. I think, uh, yeah, they're stalling for

111
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: a reason. No one is this incompetent.

112
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: No one, It's impossible.

113
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: And if they yeah, we have Rick Caruso on yesterday,

114
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: and and and Rick has offered the Beast Administration this

115
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: this this AI software that reduces it's called plan check,

116
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: reduces it the wait for a permit from months to hours.

117
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: He said they won't use it, of course not.

118
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: Of course not.

119
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 3: It would make Yeah, it would. It would expose them

120
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 3: for what they are obviously a lot of gross incompetence.

121
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 3: But I do believe that there are orders coming down.

122
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: I'm from the top saying no, no building, and it

123
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 3: makes me wonder. I mean, I'm happy to do a

124
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: public records request. Anybody listening to this can do a

125
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 3: public records request of the Planning Office of the Mayor's

126
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: Office of all Communications, you know, going down between them.

127
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: I mean, we know how they react.

128
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: Rick Caruso didn't know why they didn't have one stop

129
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: shop office in the Palisades, in and out to Dina

130
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: for months and months now so people can come and

131
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: get everything processed in a matter of hours instead of

132
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: driving downtown to LA Can you hang on, well, go ahead, yeah,

133
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: go Aheadah, hang on, We'll continue this. I guess you

134
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: got to do the news. Deborah Mark. We're talking Katie

135
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: Grimes from californiaglobe dot com. I'm telling you something's up here.

136
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: This is not this is not this is not just incompetence.

137
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: This is on purpose. They don't want the Palisades rebuilt.

138
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: They don't want outa Dina rebuilt. What they want is

139
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 2: low income apartment towers.

140
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI.

141
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: Let's continue with Katie Grimes from californiaglobe dot com about

142
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: Newsom's media event on Monday, which was really a kickoff

143
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: to his presidential campaign because he was in South Carolina yesterday.

144
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: And one thing that you wrote about at californiaglobe dot

145
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: com is all these Democratic politicians who showed up not

146
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: to talk about the fire recovery, but to praise Newsome,

147
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: and then twenty four hours later he's in South Carolina

148
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: holding court. So this sounded like a kickoff event.

149
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I sure did.

150
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: It was.

151
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: As I said in the article, the fire recovery was

152
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: totally secondary to this LoveFest that Democrat politicians from southern

153
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 3: California had for Gavin Newsom. It was absolutely syrapy disgusting

154
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: the stuff they said. You could tell each of them

155
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: was going to be using their own clips for their

156
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: own re elections. Also, I mean it was just just gross.

157
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: It was embarrassing. I mean, these people are They're not

158
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 3: good at political theater.

159
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: And you have Padilla was there.

160
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: Last time I saw Alex Pdea, the Senator, he was

161
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 2: faced down on the ground and handcuffed, and now he

162
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: bounced back up to worship Newsom for his tirelessness with

163
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: the fire recovery. Honest to god, I can't think of

164
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: a single thing in the last five and a half

165
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: months that Newsom has done about fire recovery.

166
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: I have not at all. Yeah, I totally agree with you,

167
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: And this is after Gavin Newsom promised a Marshall plan

168
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: to rebuild, rebuild the fire areas. No, there was nothing

169
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: tirelessness about Gavin Newsom's help with the fire recovery. And

170
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 3: I think it just goes to show you that this

171
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 3: was all just gratuitous pimping of Gavin Newsom for the

172
00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: presidential election.

173
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 2: Brad Sherman, the congressman, thank Newsom so much for his

174
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: pre planning ahead of the fire pre planning.

175
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: Uh huh, we were caught completely.

176
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I do believe it was an empty.

177
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 2: Reservoir, correct, Yeah, yeah, yeah, he didn't fill the reservoir.

178
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 3: No, not at all.

179
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: What what? What was it? What was going on here?

180
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: Were they all smoking crack? I'm reading these quotes in

181
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 2: your story. It's like this, this, this can't be real.

182
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: I know.

183
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: And that's what it felt like having to watch it.

184
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: And it was pretty evident very early on that this

185
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 3: was so not about fire recovery. It just happened to

186
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 3: fall on the six month anniversary. So Gavin and his

187
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 3: pr Flax decided to create a real launching event of

188
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 3: the world renowned governor from California.

189
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: Jennifer Cybel Newsom, his wife, gave her speech in Spanish.

190
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: Yes, very practiced Spanish, So we don't know what it

191
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 3: was about. Nope, not a word, you know, I speak

192
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: a little, but uh no it was and it was

193
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: so inappropriate. I mean, frankly, everything these people said. You

194
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 3: go from from Representative Judy Chu, who is useless as

195
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: teeth on a wild boar, thanking Newsom for his incredibly

196
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: strong and unwavering leadership. Those are not the words most

197
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: people would think of when describing, for you know, describing

198
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom and Brad Sherman just you know, fawning all

199
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 3: over Gavin Newsom. All they're thinking is, oh, what can

200
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 3: I get out of this guy when he's president?

201
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: And Pada said, actually, Sherman said, he he's got a

202
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: great partner in Padia.

203
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: But what was that about. I didn't know.

204
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: I don't Yeah, I don't even know what they were

205
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 3: talking about. Yeah, it's well. And what was so bizarre

206
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 3: is that he's saying I could not have a better

207
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 3: partner than Senator Alex Padilla, who had complimented the first

208
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 3: partner most most women married to politicians are like the

209
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: first lady. As he's doing the big handoff of the

210
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 3: mic to missus Newsome just cause people are so awkward,

211
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 3: they're so bizarre, and they are the freakiest freaks.

212
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: Among us meantime.

213
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 2: I mean I had quite a few friends lose their

214
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: homes in the Palisades. Yeah, and everybody is if frustrated, exhausted,

215
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: beside themselves and they can't get an answer from anybody

216
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: on how to get their home rebuilt. And I saw

217
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 2: the coverage of this press event, this kickoff to his campaign,

218
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 2: and I am livid.

219
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: And I was two three miles away from the fire.

220
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: I cannot imagine how the people, not only the Palisades,

221
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: but out Deadan and Malibu are feeling watching this nonsense, absolute.

222
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: Nonsense, And nobody can get a permit.

223
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: If they would hit out the permits, everybody would build

224
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: their home and move on with their life. But they're stuck.

225
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: And you got this corrupt insurance industry. They can't get

226
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: a dollar out of the insurance companies. Know some's not

227
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: doing anything about that. This is this is torture.

228
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: This is cruel, Yeah, it is. It is stunning what's

229
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 3: going on. And I cannot believe that the people who

230
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: have been burned out of their homes, I can't believe

231
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 3: what they're going through. They're reliving this every day, every

232
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 3: time they get stalled or rejected. It's you can't help

233
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: but feel that this was planned, that this outcome, because

234
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: they don't plan for any other outcomes. All they do

235
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 3: is talk talk, talk, and hold meetings and sign bills

236
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 3: and appropriate funds without any outcome planned.

237
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: When I saw this morning that the headline was Newsome

238
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: devoting one hundred and one million dollars to rebuild a

239
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: ford housing in the Palisades. When I first saw it,

240
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: I actually checked the internet because I thought it was

241
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: a fake story.

242
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: I thought I thought it.

243
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: Was because it was it was from a small publication

244
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: that I wasn't familiar with, and I said, all right,

245
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: this is some partisan rag thing. This is uh uh sattire.

246
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: It can't be real. And I'm finding out it's all

247
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: over the place.

248
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: It is real.

249
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: One hundred million dollars. It's the only announcement that I've

250
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: seen in the last five and a half months regarding

251
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: rebuilding in the Palisades from him, I haven't seen anything else. Yeah,

252
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: first thing out of his mouth is one hundred million

253
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: for affordable housing.

254
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 3: And there is no such thing as affordable housing in

255
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 3: Los Angeles anywhere there's no such thing as affordable housing

256
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: in California. It can't be done. So the taxpayers are

257
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 3: on the hook for building the bulk of whatever happens,

258
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: you know, if it's in fact going to be you know,

259
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: affordable housing high rises.

260
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: All right, Katie Grimes, keep on top of this guy.

261
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: I know you will, And I'm going to californiglobe dot com,

262
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: Katie Grimes reader all the time we come back. All right,

263
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: we're gonna play your clips of Newsom at his basically

264
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: his presidential kickoff event in South Carolina coming up next.

265
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

266
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 4: six forty Oh.

267
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: I have mentioned eight seven seven Moist eighty six the

268
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: Moistline eight seven seven Moist d eighty six. Apparently are

269
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: Karen bass activity on the Moistline this week? From what

270
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: I understand, I think Friday is going to be most entertaining.

271
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, but you can always get in. We're

272
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: always looking for something even better. Eight seven seven Moist

273
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: eighty six or usually talkback featured on the iHeartRadio app.

274
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: All right, So Gavin Newsom has officially abandoned California, his

275
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: his his, his time as governor is over as of yesterday,

276
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: July the eighth, twenty twenty five, because he went to

277
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 2: South Carolina and started campaigning and politicking to become the

278
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: Democratic presidential nominee. South Carolina has one of the earliest primaries.

279
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 2: South Carolina is the reason that Joe Biden became president

280
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: because he had done very poorly in the first couple

281
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: of primaries, and he won big in South Carolina and

282
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: blew away all the other competitors in twenty twenty like

283
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: Deep Boota Jedge and Bernie Sanders.

284
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: And now Newsom is zeroing in.

285
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play Eclipse and he you know, the thing

286
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: is a lot of some of these things. They sound

287
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: familiar to us because we've endured him for so many years.

288
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: But remember this is all fresh to the ears of

289
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: voters in South Carolina. Uh let's let's let's start with

290
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: Newsom in Kershaw County, South Carolina.

291
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 5: It's been an extraordinary today and in my state.

292
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 6: And I mind is filled with gratitude and appreciation, barticularly

293
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 6: for all of you showing up tonight. I mean, this

294
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 6: was supposed to be this was the last minute thing,

295
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 6: and I said, we'll just throw it together. But don't

296
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 6: you know, we're in some rural parts of South.

297
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 5: Carolina, so don't don't expect many people.

298
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 6: So what you guys obviously didn't get that money.

299
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 5: I'm just deeply grateful to all of you.

300
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: He just had to fly to rural South Carolina. He

301
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: still would admit he's running for president. I mean, he's

302
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 2: just such such a jerk.

303
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: Why would you fly to rural South Carolina and book

304
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: some book an event at the last minute in Kershaw

305
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: County wherever the hell that is. You want to know

306
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: the population of Kershaw County, Yes, I do, sixty four

307
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: and three as of the twenty twenty census, sixty five thousand.

308
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: That's a couple of blocks in La.

309
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: So he flies three thousand miles there three and a

310
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: half years ahead of the election and leaves behind ruins

311
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: in the Palisades, ruins and now to Dina, ruins in Malibu,

312
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 2: rioting in Los Angeles. Hell in San Francisco is still

313
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: filled with homeless people, mental patients, and drug addicts, as

314
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: well as downtown LA as well as Sacramento and many

315
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 2: other cities, leaving behind potentially eight dollars a gallon gas.

316
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: I still can't believe he's going to be running for president.

317
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 2: If the gas hits eight dollars, it's effect. What is

318
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: the well, I'll find it out during the commercial break

319
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: what the gas price is in South Carolina.

320
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: Right now, let's all right. He continues here, same speech,

321
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: and he starts talking about book banning of all things.

322
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 6: But I want to pick up a little bit on

323
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 6: the Congressman said, because I was struck by what he

324
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 6: said about the book band. So I was struck what

325
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 6: he said about some of the challenges and struggles that

326
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 6: he continues.

327
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 5: To face with his colleagues in Washington, DC. But on

328
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 5: the book bands, I think it's sort of emblematic in

329
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 5: the moment we're in. You know, last year there were

330
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 5: four thousand, two hundred and forty books ban in the

331
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 5: United States America forty two and forty. You can look

332
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 5: that up. It was a banning manage the likes of

333
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 5: which we've never experienced in the United States. There's been

334
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 5: a cultural purge in this country. The Congressman was exactly right.

335
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 5: They tried to write out the.

336
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 6: Race of Rosa parks in the anti woke legislation states

337
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 6: like Florida, until they were caught doing that.

338
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 5: One of the.

339
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 4: Largest book publishers in United States America actually drafted that

340
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 4: social studies book for their.

341
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 5: Curriculum in Florida. Their banning speech in classrooms, but also

342
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,919

Speaker 6: it's still in the l likes.

346
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: So we've got the fires, we got the riots, we

347
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: got millions of legal aliens.

348
00:19:59,200 --> 00:19:59,760

00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 2: record high poverty, the worst poverty in the country, and

353
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 2: he is campaigning over book banning in South Carolina.

354
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: I feel like I've gone insane. I feel like I

355
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: wake up every day and I literally do not understand

356
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: what's going on in front of me.

357
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 2: I don't understand what people are doing and what people

358
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 2: are saying. Why is he in South Carolina when this

00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 2: He promised everything was going to be streamlined, everything was

362
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: gonna be fast. He's in South Carolina complaining about book banning.

363
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,479
Speaker 2: Who is worried about book banning?

364
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: Really?

Speaker 2: Who was the last time he ran into somebody's said,

366
00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: I can't believe all the books.

367
00:20:59,640 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: They're bad?

368
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 2: What books? What are you talking about? You know what

369
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: the price gas is in South Carolina? Two dollars and

00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 2: eighty cents. Two dollars and eighty cents. In my neighborhood,

00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 2: cost me an extra forty bucks every week, every week,

373

Speaker 1: That's over two.

375
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: Thousand dollars that I'm spending on gas, entirely his fault.

376
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: And he's talking about book banning. All right, here's uh,

Speaker 1: here's more. And he says Republicans want to go back

378
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: to pre nineteen sixties America.

379
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 5: What we're experiencing is America in reverse. I'm trying to

380
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 5: bring us back to a green nineteen sixties.

Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah, why play some more?

388
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah. It's a moment that few of us could

389
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 5: have imagined. And I know we were concerned about this moment.

390
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 5: We were out there campaign expressing concern about this moment.

391
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 5: I come from a small state on the West coast.

392
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: In state.

393
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: They think that's funny.

394
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 5: Our state of mind pretty simple. We're the most untrumped

395
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 5: state in America.

396
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,720

00:22:54,840 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 6: I'm not his favorite politician, No Fox News, a lot

399
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 6: of American news or newsbacks.

Speaker 5: Or any other network state player. I mean, it's us. Yeah,

401
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 5: why the hell would you and me? But that's because

402
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 5: we stand tall for our lives. That's definitely which we

403
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 5: think are universal.

404
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: Record number of homeless people, record number of people on welfare.

405
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 7: So why isn't somebody saying, excuse me, uh, mister governor,

406
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 7: can we go back to California? Record gas prices, homeless situation.

407
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 7: Do we know how the Palisades fire started?

408
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 4: Yet?

409
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 7: Uh hmm? Why are you here when you have so

410
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 7: many problems in California?

411
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: They were laughing at him.

412
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 7: Nobody asks that question.

413
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: I know, I don't understand it.

414
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 7: Are those questions?

415
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were a lot of questions you had there.

416
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 7: Oh I have more, you have more? I I really,

417
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 7: I don't. I don't get it.

418
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: I think we should send you to follow him around.

419
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 7: I would, you know what, Please, let's.

420
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: Know that I think we got to do something like

421
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: that because I would ask.

422
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 7: Him those questions. And then you know, when the reporters say,

423
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 7: are you running for president?

424
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: He laughs and he you know that that's a campaign round. Yeah,

425
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: of course it is. We all know that.

426
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, don't insult our intelligence.

427
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: Honestly, he doesn't discuss the record homeless. He doesn't discuss

428
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 2: the record poverty. We have disastrous school systems in La

429
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 2: LA unified, seventy five percent of the kids graduate and

430
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 2: they can't do math and they can't read.

431
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 7: No, his platform is I'm the anti Trump.

432
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: By time he becomes president, he's not going to run

433
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: against Trump.

434
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 7: We'll be Vance, We'll be Dvance.

435
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: But Vance is not Trump. Vances that it's going to have.

436
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 7: The same platform as Trump.

437
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not the Trump baggage and personality, all the

438
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: things that make people crazy. Vance is not going to

439
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 2: make people crazy in the same way he could, and

440
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: Trump is a unique beacies. All right, we got a

441
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 2: couple of more of these coming up. Oh my god,

442
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: but Banning, you're listening.

443
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 4: To John Cobels on demand from KFI A sixty.

444
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 2: We are going to try to stay in reality here

445
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 2: after three o'clock. State Senator Tony Strickland from Hunting to Beach.

446
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 2: Republicans keep introducing bills to stop the massive gas tax increase,

447
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 2: and the Democrats and Newsom keeps shooting it down. You know,

448
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 2: we got the low carbon fuel standard that's supposed to

449
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: go to effect, that could be a sixty five cent

450
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 2: per gallon gas increase. We've got two We've got two

451
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 2: oil refineries closing down, one here in Los Angeles, one

452
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 2: in Valero over the next year and a half. That

453
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: could send prices to eight dollars a gallon. And then,

454
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 2: as we reported a couple of weeks ago, the oil

455
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: companies are telling Newsom that they have so little oil

456
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: in the pipeline that the pipeline may shut down and

457
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 2: then the prices might go to ten dollars a gallon.

458
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: But you wouldn't know it from listening to Newsoman in South.

459
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 2: Carolina, where he started his presidential campaign yesterday, Kershawk County,

460
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: South Carolina, sixty five thousand people, where gas goes for

461
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 2: two to eighty a gallon, and they don't have any

462
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 2: homeless people, and they don't have a fire that burned

463
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: down a big section of the county. And here he

464
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: is talking about how diverse California is.

465
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 5: I represent the most diverse state in the world's most

466
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 5: diverse departments.

467
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 6: It's interesting twenty seven percent of California's are four and four.

468
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 5: I don't think the majority of minority state. We don't

469
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 5: tolerate our diversity, our best, we celebrate.

470
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: We're murdering there so fun.

471
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 5: Let's say that I say that till does you need

472
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 5: to say that. Yeah, it's no longer table stakes. You

473
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 5: can't take things for granting. That's right.

474
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: What table steaks does that mean?

475
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 7: I don't know. I was gonna ask you.

476
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: How I know.

477
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

478
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: I'd never heard that phrase. I thought, maybe you have

479
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: table steaks? Is that dinner?

480
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 7: He's meeting the moment with some of these things by steaks.

481
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: I know, table stakes? Uh, twenty seven percent of foreign

482
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: point these are illegal aliens who.

483
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 2: Cost this thirty five billion dollars a year in taxes.

484
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: Thirty five billion dollars a year go to illegal alien services,

485
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 2: including another twelve and a half billion for healthcare twelve

486
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 2: and a half billion.

487
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: Of course, you know he doesn't talk about that.

488
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: How he ended up with a twelve billion dollar deficit

489
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: which almost exactly matched the money we're blowing on illegal

490
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 2: alien healthcare, which you know it's somebody somebody pointed out

491
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 2: if Trump at Homan are successful in clearing out a

492
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 2: lot of illegal aliens, and a lot of it's going

493
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 2: to be through self deportation, that's why they put on

494
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 2: that big show in MacArthur Park.

495
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: It is to scare people. It's like, you know, it's

496
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: time to go home.

497
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 2: You imagine you're living in a country for years and

498
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: years illegally, and now you see they've got ice agents

499
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 2: and the Marines and the National Guard. You're thinking, you

500
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 2: know what, I guess party's over. I guess I pushed

501
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: it as far as it can go. I'm here illegally.

502
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: They don't want to put up with it anymore. And

503
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: a lot of people are going.

504
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: To go home.

505
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: And that's an extra twelve billion dollars in tax money

506
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: that ought to be given up back to us as

507
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 2: a rebate.

508
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: Why are we spending thirty five billion? Thirty five billion

509
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: is more than ten percent of the budget. We should

510
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: get ten percent of our tax money back. Instead, he's

511
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: bragging about it in South Carolina and call at diversity man.

512
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 5: What the f.

513
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 2: Who asked for diversity that we got to pay thirty

514
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: five billion for thirty five billion dollars? You'd go look

515
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: it up. Federation for American Immigration Reform did a study

516
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. At the time, it was

517
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 2: about twenty two billion dollars. This was before legal alien healthcare,

518
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 2: which added another twelve and a half billion, So it's

519
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: about thirty five billion. That's a real number. That's more

520
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: than ten percent of our budget.

521
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: Who wants that.

522
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 5: For? What?

523
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: More of newsome?

524
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: All right, so he was he was talking about book

525
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: banning a few years ago, and now he's talking about

526
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: interracial marriage, which is not a controversial topic anymore.

527
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 5: We're talking about Congressman's birthday. My birthday was nineteen sixty seven,

528
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 5: and it's interesting.

529
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 6: I was sharing this a moment ago because some of

530
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 6: my young staff don't even remember this.

531
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 5: Everything weren't around, but it wasn't the black.

532
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 6: I mean may have been in the black, but it

533
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 6: was you know, there was some color one just black

534
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 6: and white movies.

535
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 5: Nineteen year of my birth in South Carolina, black student

536
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 5: Mary whites.

537
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 6: In my lifetime, some we take a brand of sixteen

538
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 6: states deny inter racial marriage.

539
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 5: So someone by the day Richard loving him, he said,

540
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 5: two manage the words I do. It's a Mildred Jeter.

541
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 6: But I had the courage not to give in to

542
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 6: a sentence where he was sentenced to one year in prison.

543
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 5: And you remember the sentence the lower court judge said

544
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 5: to the couple, they said, God, sir, and I say

545
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 5: this with love and respect.

546
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 6: So God, sir, God put different races on different continents

547
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 6: for a reason.

548
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 5: God never wanted the races to mix. A paraphrased the lower.

549
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 6: Court decision, he said, the one year prisoner was calling

550
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 6: him out in Virginia.

551
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 5: But the difference was.

552
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 2: That is he picking up like one one of those

553
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 2: like preacher kind of cadences in his speech.

554
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: Well the responses are kind of yeah, like a little

555
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: loads of a Southern accent there, like he's suddenly a pastor.

556
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: Listen to this.

557
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 2: Jim Clyburn is the congressman. He's in his eighties in

558
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 2: South Carolina. He welcomed Newsom. Clyburn was the guy who

559
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: endorsed Biden to get him rolling in the presidential race

560
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. Let me read you first paragraph from

561
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 2: politico dot com about this event. Gavin Newsom sweated through

562
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: his shirt. I didn't think he could sweat. Quoted from Corinthians,

563
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 2: He's quoting the Bible in front of.

564
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: The black church, growing, church going.

565
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: Crowd that he's speaking to you think Gavin Newsom reads

566
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: the Bible seriously and he railed against a Trump as

567
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 2: he blitzed across this early primary state and in this

568
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: small city northeast of Columbia, Camden, South Carolina. Newsomb grinned

569
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 2: sheepishly as Clyburn introduced him as one of these candidates

570
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: that are running for president. He was introduced as a

571
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: guy running for president. It's no secret, Clyburn told reporters.

572
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 2: I feel good about his chances. And the trip is

573
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 2: officially built by Newsom's team. The professional liars that he

574
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: was just supporting local Democrats and disaster torn communities, but

575
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: it was also an audition. Some Democratic Party activists came

576
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: to see him. Follow Newsom from stop to stop. One

577
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: guy wants to be an intern. He was asking about

578
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 2: intern opportunities. Oh. Absolutely, we're excited, said the Democratic Party

579
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 2: chair Christale Spain. He's on the national stage fighting against

580
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: Trump all the time. I think voters here appreciate that.

581
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 5: A ah.

582
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 7: But what's going to happen when he does announce that

583
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 7: he's running for president. Is anybody going to say, excuse me,

584
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 7: mister governor? When you were asked so many times if

585
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 7: you were running for president on these campaign stops, including

586
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 7: South Carolina, you laughed and you're like, God, stop, you guys,

587
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 7: just stop. It's enough. Well, what do you say next?

588
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 7: So you are lying?

589
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: Sociopaths don't care that they lie. It'll make some a

590
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 2: little quip, little funny comment and change the subject. He

591
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 2: knows he's lying, of course, he knows.

592
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: We all know.

593
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 7: Everybody knows. So just come out and say you know

594
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 7: what I mean Again, I would respect him so much

595
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 7: more if he said, you know what, I'm testing the waters.

596
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 7: I may I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I'm

597
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 7: thinking about it. Why doesn't he just say that?

598
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: Really he's I guess, I guess he's afraid. Once you announced,

599
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: then he's.

600
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 7: Not announcing I'm testing the waters I'm thinking about it.

601
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: He'd have to tell the truth. I don't think he's

602
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: capable of telling the truth. I think something catches in

603
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: his throat every time he's about to say something truthful.

604
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: He is one weird guy, really strange. I don't know

605
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: what happened in his childhood. Maybe he was born sociopathic.

606
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 7: But he's handsome.

607
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's going to get him vote. Yeah. More

608
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: coming up, We're going to talk to Tony Strickland. Who

609
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: is he?

610
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 2: And other Republicans are trying to get the gas prices lowered,

611
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 2: but the Democratic legislature knew, some keep blocking it, and

612
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 2: nobody in South Carolina. I guess they wouldn't know that

613
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: we're paying almost five bucks a gallon here, but they're

614
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: paying all those people in South Carolina are paying too

615
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 2: eighty a gallon. We're paying five Deborah Marks live the
