Tony Strickland is trying 26 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 3: to get gas prices lowered because there's more increases coming. 27 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 3: The Republicans in the Assembly in the state Senate have 28 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 3: bills to lower the gas prices, to lower the taxes 29 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 3: on it, and the Democratic legislature says no, and Newsom 30 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 3: says no. Let's get Tony Strickland on to see what 31 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 3: he's trying to do. Tony, how are you? 32 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: I'm fantastic.

You 39 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: know that's gonna be easy. We can blow him up. 40 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: We just played about five clips of his speech and. 41 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 3: He's talking about Burt buckburning and how interracial marriage used 42 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 3: to be illegal in the nineteen sixties. 43 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: That just campaign today, he's still out of step. I mean, 44 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: by the way, Oklahoma's gas prices are two dollars and 45 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: seventy six a gallon today, We're over a dollar fifty 46 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: more per gallon than any other state you know in 47 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: Newsome and the legislature have the power to stop these 48 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: increases tomorrow if they have the political will to do so. 49 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: And I always say gas prices high, gas prices fall 50 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: on disproportion. The hard working California families live in paycheck 51 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: to paycheck. The very people they pretend to say that 52 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: they that they fight for up here are the very 53 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: people that they hurt by their policies. 54 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 3: This must be crushing to people on a tight budget, because. 55 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: Oh, it's devastating. It's devastating. I mean, and we haven't 56 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: even scots to surface, John, and you know this, but 57 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: Valero and Phillips sixty six have said that they're going 58 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: to shut down their refineries. That's twenty percent of our 59 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: state oil production. USC projected this could go up to 60 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: eight dollars a gallon. And this is not me saying it. 61 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: USC study says they could because it's almost a perfect 62 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: storm with all the excise taxes that go on, with 63 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: the lack of refinery in California only and all these 64 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: environmental rules USC projects now I mean USC projection. 65 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: I had the professor on a couple of days ago, 66 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: Michael mcche. 67 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. And so it is amazing because right now 68 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: we have a huge affordability crisis. The Democrats in the 69 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: legislature and the governor did the soupla the affordability crisis 70 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: at the start of the year, and look what they're 71 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: doing during They continue to increase the gas prices and 72 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: again it hurts the very people they say and they 73 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: pretend that they represent. 74 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 3: Let's talk about what's coming in the near future, low 75 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 3: carbon fuel standard. California Air Resources Board is ordering this 76 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 3: be implemented, so they're going to have to have a 77 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: new way to refine the gas could add sixty five 78 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 3: cents a gallon. Your side has tried to rescind the 79 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: whole regulation, stop the price increase, and they will not 80 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 3: address this, the Democrats. 81 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: No. We put it up and we put it up frequently, 82 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: multiple times, to give them the opportunity to get rid 83 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: of this regulation. It's sentate Build number two by Jones. 84 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: We have pushed this multiple times. We've given them ample 85 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: opportunity to lower the gas prices on this sixty I 86 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: actually had a bill sentate Bill ninety four that under 87 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: the high speed rail where everybody up here knows it 88 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: won't be built as proposed to the people California, and 89 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: take those funds that we do every single year over 90 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: a billion dollars to lower gas prices for all hard 91 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: working in California families and lower the prices at the pump. 92 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 3: That's what's calling is some of this tax money is 93 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 3: going to fund the high speed rail fiasco. 94 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: Correct, And that's what we call I call up here 95 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: the cap and trade slush funds, because on top of 96 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: them tripling the spending and state budget, that's not enough 97 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: for them because they have an addiction to spending. They've 98 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: tripled the state budget the last ten years. But that's 99 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: not enough. They have this cap and trade slush fund 100 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: where they take the monies from the gas increase and 101 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: they put in this cap and trade fund, and that's 102 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: what's funding the high speed rail billion dollars a year. 103 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 3: What's the price that gets at least a majority of 104 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: the public to finally say enough. 105 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 2: That there's some kind of revolt. What's the number here? 106 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: I think the revolt is coming, John, I really do. 107 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: I believe it's almost like we're in nineteen early nineteen 108 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: seventy eight when California had this kind of a problem 109 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: with the property taxes and people were being taxed out 110 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: of their homes, and then Howard Jarvis and Paul Gann 111 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: came together with a Proposition thirteen in nineteen seventy eight. 112 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: I kind of see a lot of similarities between what's 113 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: going on now and what went on back then, because 114 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: you had a Governor Jerry Brown at the time that 115 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: was out of step with the people in California and 116 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: didn't understand that they were taxing people out of their 117 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: homes through the high property tax and that revolt team. 118 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: I do believe there's gas tax revolt and a revolt 119 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: in general about the affordability crisis in California. 120 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: All the money they're getting in. Is this all about corruption? 121 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: Is this all about all these nonprofits or these scam 122 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: green company that the Democrats might be connected to, where 123 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 3: their friends, their family donors are connected to. This has 124 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: got to be a financial racket. 125 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: When you look at the budget there's so many nonprofits. 126 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: They get their funding leftist nonprofit they get their funding 127 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: from us, the taxpayers. You saw a little bit of 128 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: that happening on the federal government when they did the 129 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: doge on the USAID. There's a lot of these nonprofits 130 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: get funded by us, the people in California, the government. 131 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: And what we need to do is lower the size 132 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: of the scope of government and have limited government. And 133 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: that would totally destroy the Democratic Party in California because 134 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: they rely on government spending to help them get re elected. 135 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, the nonprofit nonsense is so out 136 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 3: of control. Well, in LA you're probably aware. Turns out 137 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 3: we spent thirty four million dollars on CHARLA, which is 138 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: a leading organization for illegal alien rights, and they're funding 139 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 3: the riot that we just had. 140 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: Absolutely and there's so many of these nonprofits that are 141 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: around and we need Look, we need a lot of 142 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: new leadership all the way around, from top to bottom. 143 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: But we need a strong controller. A state controller can 144 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: audit everything in the state budget. And so you know, 145 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: I'm encouraging our listeners. You know, if you want the 146 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: same thing that happen both with the same people. But 147 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: we got to get rid of these guys. I mean, 148 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: we got to get rid of these people who are 149 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: in office today because they're so out of step with 150 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: everyday citizens. I just hope that the people wake up 151 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: and they understand that the people who stay they're for 152 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: you are really not for you. 153 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 3: Is Newsome now officially checked out now that he's campaigning 154 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 3: in South Carolina? 155 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: Honestly, John I would have said he has been checked 156 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: out for months. Like I serve with five different governors. 157 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: I've never seen a governor that is less involved in 158 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: what goes on in Sacramento. We don't have a governor. 159 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: We have a guy who says he's governor, but every 160 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: morning he wakes up and he looks in the mirror 161 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: and thinks he's the president of the United States. He really, 162 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: really really wants to be president, but he's not. And 163 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: we don't have a governor today. We have someone that's 164 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: just in that office that wants to run for president. 165 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 2: How's he going to run if the gas is eight 166 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: dollars a gallon? 167 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: He's ilusional, But you know, I would say, though, you know, 168 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: don't forget how he left San Francisco and shambles as 169 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: mayor to be Lieutenant governor of California and then governor. Right, 170 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: Usually you have to do a good job to move 171 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: up in the polical ladder. Only in politics can you 172 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: do a terrible job and try to blame someone else. 173 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: And that's what he's trying to do now. He's had 174 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: what three or four years of total management of a 175 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: state budget, and he's trying to blame President Trump and 176 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: the administration and the homeless situation has been going on 177 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: for a decade now, and he's trying to blame people 178 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: in local government instead of looking at the mirror and 179 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: say he lacked the leadership. He spent twenty seven billion 180 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: dollars on home with this and the problem got worse, 181 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: not better. 182 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, no one knows where the money went. All right, 183 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: thank you very much, Tony Strickling. And let us know 184 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 3: you keep trying to trying to crack this. 185 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: We'll keep fighting, John, We'll keep fighting. 186 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 4: All right. 187 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 2: Tony Strickling. 188 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 3: He's the state senator at Huntington Beach, Republican, and he 189 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 3: keeps introducing bills to lower the gas prices. Uh, we're 190 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 3: we're paying you know, dollar fifty two bucks more than 191 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 3: anybody else in the country. And I mean I mean, 192 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 3: Newsom's in the state where they're selling gas for to 193 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 3: eighty right now to eighty? 194 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: Why why do we have to put up at this? 195 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 3: And the Electric Car Man date has been has been 196 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 3: canceled by Trump, so we don't that they're because the 197 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 3: idea was if they raised the price high enough, it'll 198 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 3: force us into electric cars. Well nobody's going to go. 199 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 3: Now nobody wants them, and now nobody has. 200 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 2: To get one. 201 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am six. 202 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 3: I don't often play TikToker clips, but this is something special. 203 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 3: There is a guy, I mean, I can't imagine how 204 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 3: many hundreds of thousands of Internet podcasts there are, video podcasts, 205 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 3: audio podcasts, TikTok little clips. There's a guy named Kareem 206 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 3: Rama and he has a TikTok series called Subway Takes, 207 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 3: And I guess these are shorts. 208 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it's actually quite fascinating. 209 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 3: And well known people come on and they give a 210 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 3: hot take on some odd little issue, some little pet 211 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 3: peeve they have. 212 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 2: And so. 213 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 3: Rama was going to have Kamala Harris come on, and 214 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 3: but her hot take was about bacon and it was 215 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 3: really weird. And maybe she was stone that day. And 216 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 3: you know, somebody suggested today what her thing that might 217 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 3: be is maybe she must be taking a lot of gummies. 218 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 3: And that's why that's why you like because if she 219 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 3: was smoking pot, we would have seen pictures of it, 220 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 3: somebody would have would have spilled the story already. But 221 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 3: she's probably slipping a lot of gummies. So by the 222 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 3: time she gets on stage, I'm sure she's nervous. You 223 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 3: know a lot of people have stage fright, They're very 224 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 3: nervous speaking publicly. She's in a position she has no 225 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 3: business being in. So I can see her nodding up 226 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 3: all the time before she goes on TV or goes 227 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 3: and gives a speech, and she overloads on the gummies 228 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 3: and then she makes no sense. Well, uh, they this 229 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 3: was so weird that both Harris and Rama decided we 230 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 3: shouldn't air this, Let's do something else. He tells that 231 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 3: story in this particular clip. 232 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 6: From the DMCA, and they said, Hey, Kamala Harris and 233 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 6: Tom Walls are really interested in behind her show, So 234 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 6: that sounds cool. I'll at least get to tell my 235 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 6: daughter that I met the potential president of the United States, 236 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 6: and so I said yes, based on the fact that 237 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 6: it would be a good story, and also they both 238 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 6: had good takes. 239 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 2: What happened with Comlin her take was. 240 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 6: Really confusing and weird and not good, and so mutually 241 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 6: agreed that we shouldn't publish it. I see, and I 242 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 6: got lucky because I didn't want to be blamed for 243 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 6: her losing. 244 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: Her take was that bad. 245 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 6: It was really really bad, and it was it was like, 246 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 6: didn't make any sense. I can tell you I was 247 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 6: bacon bacon as a spice bacon as a spice bacon. 248 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 2: As a spice bacon as I think that was her opinion. 249 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 2: You think you had, like a research group. You're trying 250 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 2: to figure something about. 251 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 6: The research group, because originally the take that I was 252 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 6: pitched was great and it was that she does not 253 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 6: like to take her shoes off on airplanes, okay, And 254 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 6: I was like, one hundred percent disagree. You better be 255 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 6: taking the shoes off. And at the last minute, I 256 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 6: think research group said this makes you look rich. It's 257 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 6: not okay, and you need to appeal to the American people. 258 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 6: So she went with a bacon and I tried to 259 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 6: pause the interview and say, trust me, we shouldn't do 260 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 6: a bacon thing, and I was overrided by this guy 261 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 6: who was maybe her deputy campaign manager or something. He said, 262 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 6: we're doing bacon. I said, all right, we'll do bacon. 263 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 6: And then an hour later I got a call that 264 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 6: said we can't do bacon. I said, I know he 265 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 6: can't do bacon. But then I tried to cut it 266 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 6: into something else. It just wasn't working, and I was like, 267 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 6: you know what, I overrode the bacon themselves. First they 268 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 6: rode the bacon, then they overrode the bacon. Then I 269 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 6: tried to override their override by saying I didn't just 270 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 6: do all this work for no reason. I'm going to 271 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 6: make it work. And then I did make it work. 272 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 6: And then they were like this makes her look and 273 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 6: I said, who's false is that? And then I was like, 274 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 6: if I post this, a lot of people are going 275 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 6: to be mad at me. If I don't post it, 276 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 6: I still have a cool president, or I still have 277 00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 6: a cool photograph with. 278 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 2: Kama Harr and a good story. 279 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 6: So I took the I took the photo and the 280 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 6: story and I'm really lucky that I did that. 281 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 3: I'm in a world they don't understand. She wanted to 282 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 3: talk about how bacon is a spice. He wanted her 283 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 3: to talk about taking your shoes off on an airplane. 284 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 3: That was the agreement. Yeah, she changed her mind and 285 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 3: said bacon is a spice. Now I read in the 286 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 3: post that Rama is Muslim, doesn't eat pork, and so 287 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 3: he wasn't really into discussing bacon. He may have never 288 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 3: eaten bacon. Harris apparently told him think about it. It's 289 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 3: a pure flavor, and she explained how bits of cooked 290 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 3: bacon could be used to enhance a meal like a seasoning. 291 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 3: Rama asked if he could use beef for turkey instead, 292 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 3: told her I don't eat bacon. He then asked if 293 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 3: we could do the other segment taking shoes off on 294 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 3: another airplane. 295 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 2: Then she wanted to. 296 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 3: Do a topic about how much she loves anchovies on pizza. 297 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 3: After speaking to an advisor, it. 298 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 7: Sounds like she was really hungry when she was talking 299 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 7: to what. 300 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: Makes you hungry? 301 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 7: You got me there? 302 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, So it went from shoes on the plane to 303 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 3: bacon as a spice, to anchovies and pizza and they 304 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 3: end up not airing any of this. But he's got 305 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 3: a cool picture of her. He sounds as nuts as 306 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 3: she is. You make money doing this on TikTok. I mean, 307 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 3: does he have the kind of following where he's making money. 308 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, his stuff gets hundreds of thousands, if not millions, 309 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 2: of us. 310 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 7: I don't know why am I working? We need to 311 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 7: go on TikTok. John, Well, just. 312 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 2: Let's talk about bacon and shoes. 313 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 7: Well, you go on about you can go on and 314 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 7: on about shoes.

Those are the dew 370 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 3: pressing issues. There was no discussion of, let's see having 371 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 3: the highest income tax in the country, the highest gas 372 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 3: tax in the country, the highest sales tax in the country, 373 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 3: the highest homeless population in the country, the highest welfare 374 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 3: case load in the country, the. 375 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 2: Most money blown on. 376 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 3: Unemployment insurance during COVID, the most money blown on homelessness, 377 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 3: the money blown on high speed. Well, that didn't come 378 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 3: up in the discussion in South Carolina. 379 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 2: I'm not even done. I can go on for like 380 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 2: twelve more issues. None of that's discussed. 381 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 3: Instead, he talks about book burning and interracial marriage in 382 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 3: the nineteen sixties, and they were laughing and applauding him. 383 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,479 Speaker 3: Hook up one morning you know, I'm thinking maybe I'm 384 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 3: imagining things. 385 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 2: Maybe that gummy you gave me. 386 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 7: It would have been long gone. 387 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 2: It might have taken root in my brain. 388 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 3: And now I'm experiencing an alterary universe that's not really happening. Ah, 389 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 3: and somehow you're both in it. 390 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 7: Now I think you got it, Newsom. 391 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 3: This is what I woke up to this morning. Newsom 392 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 3: to devote one hundred and one million dollars to rebuilding 393 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 3: in the Palisades. It's except it's it's low income housing 394 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 3: for residents. And I was touching on this yesterday, talked 395 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 3: with Rick Caruso on the air about it. And now 396 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 3: I saw this and I go, I'm right, figured it 397 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 3: out today early. 398 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 2: But I'm right. 399 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 3: There's seven thousand homes that have burned down in the Palisades. 400 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 3: There's about one hundred permits that have been approved, and 401 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 3: out to Dina there's seven thousand plus homes. One hundred 402 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 3: permits been approved. There's also another one thousand or two 403 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,719 Speaker 3: thousand homes that burned in the Malibu and adjacent areas. 404 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 3: It's hardly any permits. Now after six months, they would 405 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 3: have figured it out. They didn't, Okay, So I've given 406 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 3: up that nobody in the media is going to ask 407 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 3: these questions, nobody in politics is gonna oppress these issues publicly. 408 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 2: So we've got to use our own brains here. 409 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 3: You have thousands of city workers, thousands of them, and 410 00:21:55,040 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 3: they're permitting one hundred homes in the palisade. Why would 411 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 3: this be? Are they that incompetent, that lazy, that stupid, 412 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 3: or do none of them care? Does Karen Bass not care? 413 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 3: And she has said, hey, don't worry about it, don't 414 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 3: bother Because here's the second piece of the puzzle. There's 415 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 3: two pieces to this three. First piece is Bass doesn't care, 416 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 3: so she's not bothering anybody to process the permits. Or 417 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 3: she's told them slow walk all this and you're saying why, well, 418 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 3: piece number two, Scott Wiener has ability. He's pushing hard. 419 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 3: It's Senate Bill seventy nine. You gotta look this up. 420 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 3: There'd be a lot of suburban neighborhoods. Local zoning will 421 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 3: be uh will be gone overruled the state. Scott Leaner 422 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 3: wants to get rid of local zoning laws so that 423 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 3: if you or your neighbor sells your lot to a developer, 424 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 3: the developer can build an apartment building for low income 425 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 3: or homeless people right in the middle of your beautiful 426 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 3: little residential neighborhood. You don't believe me, Go look it up. 427 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 3: Send it Bill seventy nine. 428 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 2: Go read it. 429 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 3: It's on californiaglobe dot com. He tried this couple of 430 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 3: years ago and I got beat back. He's trying again. 431 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 3: That's Puzzle Peace number two. Puzzle Peace number three. The 432 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 3: Gavenuwsom story one hundred and one million dollars to rebuild, 433 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 3: to build affordable housing in Pasadena, I'm sorry in Altadena 434 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 3: and in the Palisades, affordable housing in the Palisades, they're 435 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 3: worth no affordable housing. There's no need for it there. 436 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 3: They were told by everyone, we're going to read build 437 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 3: the Palisades exactly the way it was. But that's not 438 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 3: on the religious agenda of these fanatics like Weeder and 439 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 3: Newsom in bass. They want to force affordable housing into 440 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 3: affluent neighborhoods. So the people with the multi billion dollar 441 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 3: homes in the Palisades, you're being told to suck on it. 442 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 2: You don't get to rebuild the Palisades the way it 443 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 2: used to be. 444 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 3: Newsom is already mainlining money to developers who have probably 445 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 3: bribed him and bribed the legislature to start building affordable 446 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 3: housing for the poor. The whole town is going to 447 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 3: be that because bass is busy frustrating everyone. You can't 448 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 3: build permits, you can't get permits to rebuild, so and 449 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 3: you can't get your insurance money. 450 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 2: So if you can't get your. 451 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 3: Insurance money and you can't get rebuilding permits, eventually you're 452 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 3: going to say, oh, the hell with it, ethic. 453 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 7: And then where are they supposed to go? 454 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 3: They're going to disperse. There's no more palisades. Palisades will 455 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 3: be taken over by developers who are going to get 456 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 3: these sweet deals like Newsom throwing a hundred million dollars around, 457 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 3: and here you go apartment buildings everywhere, filled with poor 458 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 3: people and homeless people, because why shouldn't they have a 459 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 3: beautiful view in the palisades like the wealthy people have 460 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 3: enjoyed all these years. You're wealthy, you're white, you're screwed. 461 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 3: Dass and Newsom hate you, Scott Water hates you. 462 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 7: But isn't Newsome wealthy and white? 463 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? 464 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 3: He is, and he mysteriously has a nine million dollar 465 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 3: home on a two hundred thousand dollars salary. Katie Grimes 466 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 3: wrote another piece about that in the California Globe. It's 467 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 3: really complicated, but there's some kinds of shenanigans going on 468 00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:01,479 Speaker 3: with LLC's shell companies that own his home or passed 469 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 3: his home from one entity to the other. Something's going 470 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 3: on with the way he bought his home. I'd love 471 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 3: to explain it on the air, but it's intentionally complicated. 472 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 3: I don't know how to do it that would make 473 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 3: any sense that you'd bother to listen. But we'll figure 474 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 3: this out. Let me just tell you this. If you're 475 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 3: in the Palisades, you're in Malibu, you're in Alt to Dean, 476 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 3: and out to Dean is much more middle class. Doesn't matter. 477 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 3: They don't care about the middle class either, Otherwise the 478 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 3: gas wouldn't be five dollars a gallon. What they want 479 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 3: is get money from developers. The insurance system is all corrupt, 480 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 3: so you're not getting insurance money anytime soon. You're not 481 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 3: getting permits. Give up sell to the developers. They're going 482 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 3: to build affordable housing for the poor and homeless people, 483 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 3: and that satisfies their religious belief that we should not 484 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 3: have people living comfortably in this society. It's your basic socialism, communism, 485 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 3: religious belief, and that is Bass, Wiener and Newsman. That's 486 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 3: what you've voted for. And now here comes a once 487 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 3: in a lifetime, once in a century opportunity for Bass, 488 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 3: Newsom and Wiener to implement their dream. They're not going 489 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 3: to let the Palisades and Alta Dina get away from them. 490 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 3: They're going to put up these ugly Soviet style housing blocks, 491 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 3: apartment towers and screw you if you use to have 492 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 3: a beautiful home in the Palisades. You're not going to 493 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 3: get a permit. Go see them. Will take you ten years, 494 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 3: You'll have a heart attack. You're not going to get 495 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 3: money from the insurance company anytime soon. You're not going 496 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 3: to get a permit. You're not going to get a 497 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 3: judge to help you out. You're not going to get anything. 498 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 3: You're going to sell to a developer new some Bass 499 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 3: and Wiener win. You lose, but you voted for them. 500 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 3: That's what's happening. No other explanation for why the permits 501 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 3: are so slow.
