Yeah, all right, 28 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: So yeah, so Prop fifty. Where's he getting the money 29 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: for this? 30 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: Well, you know, there's a pattern that's been in play 31 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 3: with this guy for a long time, and so he's 32 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 3: going back to the well to the It basically works 33 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 3: this way. You, your listeners, me with all of our 34 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 3: tax money gets given away by Gavin Newsom to all 35 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 3: of these special interest groups and then they. 36 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: Fund his campaign. 37 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 3: So right out the gate, and by the way, I'm 38 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 3: sure these people will put in more. The California Labor Federation, 39 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 3: those are all the non government unions, they pitched in 40 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 3: a million dollars. 41 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: SEIU, which is the. 42 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: Big public employee union in the state, they pitched in 43 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 3: a million dollars. The California Teachers Association pitched in three million. 44 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: Dollars so far. 45 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 3: And then on top of it, Reed Hastings, who is 46 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 3: the CEO or the former CEO, is now the executive 47 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 3: chairman of Netflix. He personally pitched in two million dollars. 48 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 3: And when you look at all of these numbers, they 49 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 3: all come at it from a reason. We'll start with Netflix, 50 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 3: because I don't know how many of your listeners are 51 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 3: aware of the fact that the legislature approved a seven 52 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty million dollar tax credit program for Hollywood 53 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 3: and already just Netflix alone has gotten seventy million dollars 54 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 3: this year. So many million dollars goes to Netflix, and 55 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 3: at least so far, two million of it comes back 56 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 3: right into Gavin Newsom's Prop fifty campaign. That's the number 57 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 3: they gave it. And then again, we could go to 58 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 3: each of these public employ unions, the California Teachers Association, 59 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 3: those are the folks who shut down, that got the 60 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: governor to shut down the schools first during COVID, opened 61 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: us last during COVID has gotten them pay raises, padded 62 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 3: retirement benefits, and a lot and this year a three 63 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: hundred million dollar infusion for pay and benefits. And then 64 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: they turn around and of course give several million dollars 65 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: right into this campaign. And then the last two you've 66 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: got the SEIU, which secured a twenty five dollars an 67 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 3: hour minimum wage hike for their healthcare workers in their 68 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 3: union secured expansions for paid family leave retention bonuses, a 69 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 3: permanent expansion of paid sick lave for all public workers. 70 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 3: Oh that, I guess that costs a million dollars, right, 71 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 3: So he gets a million bucks for that. And then 72 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 3: the private labor unions they of course got new somerom 73 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 3: to height sign AB five, which you talked a lot 74 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: about on this program, which banishes independent contractors, making everything 75 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: more expensive and uh. And of course the new housing 76 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: bills that were approved require all new housing to be 77 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 3: built at union labor wages. So what that's that's what's. 78 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 2: Going on, John, Is that is that the million dollars 79 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 2: thing that doesn't Yeah, these are these are kickbacks and 80 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: the new some funnies. 81 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 3: There are all people that gave. These people all gave 82 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: millions of dollars to oppose the Newsome recall. And I 83 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 3: should add, by the way, the Newsome Recall committee from 84 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one had a couple million bucks left over 85 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 3: in it that he didn't spend. That he's also put 86 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 3: in this which is kind of like recycling because all 87 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 3: the groups that I just named probably gave him that 88 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 3: money in the first place. What is reed Hastings from 89 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 3: Next Radia, Hastings from Netflix. 90 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: What does what does he have? What does he hate? 91 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: His customers here in California. He's the one who financed 92 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 2: George Gascone. 93 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 3: It's exactly, as a matter of fact, it's it's it's 94 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: pretty ridiculous. And but you could see what they've got 95 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 3: going on. There's no principle, there's no honesty, there's no ethics. 96 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: So he wants. 97 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 3: Netflix to get hundreds, probably hundreds of millions of dollars 98 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 3: of free money from the state of California. And the 99 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: way that he does that is by playing the game. 100 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 3: I guess he's a savvy business guy. 101 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: John. 102 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 3: He's seen how other people do it, and he's like, 103 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 3: I want to play that game, right and so and so, 104 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 3: and it will keep going. There are so many other unions. 105 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 3: The Prison Guard Union hasn't ponied up in. They're a 106 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 3: big one for newsm Let's not forget Southern California, Edison 107 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 3: and PG and E that may as well be government enemies. 108 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: They're gonna chip in be You can look on the 109 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 3: Recall Committee donation sheet and you can tell where it's 110 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 3: all going to come from. 111 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: Uh Yeah, I mean, I mean, it's just this this 112 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 2: terrible cycle where where tax money gets rooted to these 113 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: unions or these these corporations, and that eventually the tax 114 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 2: money UH is used to pay Newsome off. And then 115 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: now in this case, he's going to use it. He's 116 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: going to use it for a propaganda to help drive 117 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 2: off Republican congressman out of the out of the state. 118 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 3: It's really about him running for president. The whole point 119 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 3: that he's in this fight over congression. He doesn't care 120 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 3: about congressional districts. He cares about himself, and so he's 121 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 3: using this opportunity to promote himself nationally in the national polls. 122 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 3: He's now moved up to first place in the in 123 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: the in the sweepstakes to see who wins the Democratic nomination. 124 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: It's all about himself. 125 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 3: But there is some good news. 126 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: There's one guy. 127 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 3: You've probably talked to him about him before in the show, 128 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: Charles Munger Junior. He's like a scientist out of Stanford 129 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 3: by training and profession, but what he really is is 130 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 3: we call it the Lucky Sperm Club. His dad was 131 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 3: Charles Munger Senior, who was Warren Buffett's business partner and 132 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: a billionaire, and so Munger's got a vast ton of money, 133 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 3: and he spent a bunch of it to pass creating 134 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 3: this commission for the drawing of legislative and congressional lines 135 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: in the first place. And he's already put in twenty 136 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 3: large twenty million now ten million last week and ten 137 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 3: million this week out of his very deep pockets. But 138 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 3: you know what he doesn't do. He doesn't have any 139 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 3: business with the state of California. He doesn't have any 140 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 3: conflicts of interest. He's just a well off person who 141 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 3: believes in this cause of not having politicians draw their 142 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 3: own lines. So you know, maybe he'll put Arnold Schwarzenegger 143 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 3: on television and then Arnold can make up for some 144 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 3: of the crapp he did to us in his final 145 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 3: term as governor. 146 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 2: I mean, Schwartzegger could be effective as a spokes per very. 147 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 3: Much, so very much. There was a poll that came 148 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 3: out while you were on vacation from a outfit called 149 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 3: Harper out of DC, the very credible polster, and they 150 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: show that Arnold Schwarzenegger's numbers, especially with independents and Democrats, 151 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 3: are super high. And so if if you take Monger's 152 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 3: money and you take Arnold's star power. I think that 153 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 3: can be very very effective. But we don't really know 154 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 3: how much Arnold is going to get engaged here or not. 155 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 3: But if he engages, I think it could be very 156 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 3: very effective. And so we'll just we'll see what happens. 157 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 3: But you know, I think there's a story to be told. 158 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 3: I think I mentioned it, maybe not on the show, 159 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 3: but and maybe you've told your listeners, but somehow of 160 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 3: these five new congressional districts that are being created for Democrats, 161 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 3: there's one for the Senate President, there's one for the 162 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 3: Assembly speaker, and there's one for the former Assembly speaker. 163 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:50,239 Speaker 1: Isn't that funny? 164 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 3: Yes, they've drawn themselves their own seats. And that was 165 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 3: the reason why vote. That was the cynical behavior that 166 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 3: caused voters to want it stripped the legislature of doing 167 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: this in the first place, and they're literally proving the 168 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 3: point again. 169 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 2: I'm so disgusting.

I'm tired of my own voice. I can't 377 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 5: stand here myself anymore. 378 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: We all got a b for two weeks. 379 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 3: Ah. 380 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 2: Right, Here's where your money's going to as well. If 381 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 2: you're a live in the city of Los Angeles, it's 382 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 2: going to a law firm named Gibson Done, Gibson Done. 383 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 2: The city council has been asked to send now a 384 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 2: total of six million dollars to Gibson Done and Crutcher. 385 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 2: Crutcher is very important. This is the company, or this 386 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: is the law firm that's sent in fifteen lawyers to 387 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 2: keep Karen Bass from answering embarrassing questions about where the 388 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 2: homeless money went. Remember this, I think we're the only 389 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 2: ones you talk about this stuff. So Karen Bass has 390 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,479 Speaker 2: blown I don't know, it's like a couple of billion 391 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 2: dollars missing from the homeless account, and she must know 392 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 2: where it is. And she did not want to testify 393 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 2: before a federal judge. So it's a civil lawsuit from 394 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 2: a something called the La Alliance was a collection of 395 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 2: residents and nonprofits and they wanted to know in businesses 396 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 2: and they wanted to know where'd the money go. And 397 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 2: Karen Bass wouldn't tell, and Gibson done, and Crutcher, fifteen 398 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 2: of those guys showed up to create so much legal 399 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 2: mayhem that the other side eventually gave up trying to 400 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 2: get Bass to testify. But the two billion is still missing, 401 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 2: and she still won't say where it went. And it 402 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 2: looks like they want They were given nine hundred thousand 403 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 2: dollars approved three months ago, and now they want a 404 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 2: total of six million. They've already racked up three million 405 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 2: in billings. Wow, they've racked up three million in billings, 406 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 2: but there's been a less than a million set aside 407 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 2: to finance this debacle. 408 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: How about that? Huh? 409 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 2: The city officially is not allowed to spend anymore, but 410 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 2: they ran up a big bill just to keep Karen 411 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 2: Bass out of court. By August the eighth, they'd racked 412 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 2: up over three million, according to a confidential man. And 413 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 2: it's the city attorney. This weird creature. Heidi Feldstein Soto. 414 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 2: She's the one who keeps making these requests and she 415 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 2: won't talk about it. And there's one council person. I 416 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 2: think I've counted three normal people on the council. One 417 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 2: of his Monica Rodriguez from the Valley, and she voted 418 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 2: against the first round of funding for Gibson Dunn, and 419 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 2: she's voting for the voting against the second round of funding. 420 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 2: And she's got a really fascinating point here. She says, 421 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 2: why isn't this six million dollars being used to house people? 422 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: Since it's all about homeless money. Here's six million, why 423 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 2: don't you do something with it to put people under 424 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 2: our roof and get them off the streets. But of 425 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 2: course that's not what these agencies. That's not what this 426 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 2: entire industry is designed to do. It's not designed to 427 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: get homeless people indoors. It's designed so that these attorneys 428 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 2: and these nonprofit executives can make a tremendous amount of money. 429 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 2: That's the purpose. So, I mean, you know, I've like 430 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 2: grown past this. I think a few years ago, my 431 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 2: knee jerk response would have been, hey, why don't you 432 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 2: give that money to the homeless people. They're the ones 433 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 2: who need it. That's what the business is supposed to be, 434 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 2: and don't give it to attorneys who are trying to 435 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 2: keep Karen Bass from testifying. And then it occurred to 436 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 2: me one day, I'm a dummy. They don't want to 437 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 2: help the homeless people. They want to steal the money. Well, 438 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: there you go. That's what they're doing. And I'm sure 439 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 2: Gibson dun is going to be donating to all the 440 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 2: all the relevant political campaigns in the next cycle. 441 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty. 442 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 2: Slide back eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight seven 443 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 2: seven Moist eighty six, or use the talkback feature on 444 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 2: the iHeart app, and you can follow us at John 445 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 2: Cobelt Radio at John Cobelt Radio.

I don't understand. 479 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 2: Maybe it's because we have an entire generation now who 480 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 2: has spent their entire life staring at a screen ingesting 481 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 2: a destructive social media and the idiots in the legislature 482 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 2: in the Assembly, they now have a social media warning 483 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 2: law that they've proposed. 484 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: Get this if it passes. 485 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,959 Speaker 2: It were to require a warning message to flash on 486 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 2: your screen at least once a day when you visit 487 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 2: a social media site, and then again every hour after 488 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 2: three hours of cumulative use, the message would say.
