He used to eat nothing but macaroni 18 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: and cheese and wonderbread, and he was a crappy student 19 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: and it was just a life of terrible struggle, constant hustling, 20 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: he said. 21 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: And it took about oh, I don't know. 22 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,919 Speaker 1: Half a day before somebody started publishing a newspaper story 23 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: from the San Francisco Chronicle going back to nineteen ninety one. 24 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: Was he was highlighted with three other rich kids. I 25 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: called them that, and he's dressed in a suit. He's 26 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: twenty four years old. Because he was not only the 27 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: son of an attorney who was an appellate court judge, 28 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: his dad, William Newsom, I told you yesterday, was Gordon Getty's. 29 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: Right hand nan. 30 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: Managing Gordon Getty's two billion dollar fortune. Gavin Newsom grew 31 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: up impossibly rich, trying to hide behind a divorce that 32 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: mom and dad had. But dad was in the picture, 33 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: and Dad has a ton of money, and Dad used 34 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: his political connections to get news from in office. 35 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 2: Tells you all about that yesterday. 36 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: Now made me think, you know what, there's probably endless 37 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: lies that he tells, weird facts about his personal life. 38 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 1: He also seems to have a desire what he's getting interviewed, 39 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: to identify and connect and just make stuff up. 40 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 2: So he's cool in the moment. 41 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: And when I was You'll see, I'll tie all this 42 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: together when I'm on the vacation in London and Iceland. 43 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: I was checking the news every day, and one of 44 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: the irritating stories I was reading every day was this 45 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: all this hooplah over Trump knocking down the east wing 46 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: of the White House to build the ballroom. Okay, you've 47 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: probably heard this story a thousand times. It's stupid. It's 48 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: a stupid debate. I'll tell you real quick why it's 49 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: a stupid debate. The National Review did a piece on 50 00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: this and listed all the different times that the White 51 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: House has been altered by many many presidents. Harry Truman, 52 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: Theodore Roosevelt modified the White House. They used public money, 53 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: Kennedy Eisenhower, Gerald Ford used private money. Each one of 54 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: them left the White House in a different architectural state 55 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: than when they arrived. The south portico was added in 56 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: eighteen twenty four for James Monroe. A balcony was added 57 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: to it in nineteen forty eight for Harry Truman. The 58 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: north portico was added in eighteen thirty for John Quincy Adams. 59 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: Let's see the Family Theater was added in nineteen forty two. 60 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: Roosevelt remodeled in eighty two under Reagan, refurbished again in 61 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: four under Bush. Nineteen thirty three, President Roosevelt added an 62 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: indoor swimming pool. President Nixon in nineteen seventy filled it 63 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: in and turned it into the press briefing room. Nineteen 64 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: seventy five, Ford added an outdoor swimming pool on the outside. 65 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: Truman added a bowling alley, and Hoower moved into another 66 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: office building in nineteen fifty five. And it goes on 67 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: and on and on. President Taft moved to the south lawn. 68 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: Oh a tennis court went from Theodore Roosevelt to Taft, 69 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: moving it to the south lone lawn. President George H. W. 70 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: Busch enlarged it in nineteen eighty nine. So I could 71 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: go on and on, all right, So that the White 72 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: House has never been in a static situation. Most presidents 73 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: have changed it. It enlarged, it, demolished something, you know, 74 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: added a new feature to it. So you read one 75 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: article about this and you realize this whole debate has 76 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: been impossibly stupid, just incredibly stupid. Well Newsom joined the debate, 77 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: and he was rattling on meantime, and I didn't know 78 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: this existed. In cap in Sacramento, the legislature was spending 79 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: over a billion dollars of tax money on an annex 80 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: project at the California State Capitol. The construction has started 81 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. It's still going on. The overruns 82 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: have taken the cost to one point six billion. Started 83 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: out as one point one billion of your tax money. 84 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: Now we're at one point six billion. So this is 85 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: a massive project with public tax money, and nobody in 86 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: the legislature will talk about it. They're questioned and there's 87 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: no response, and there's only one reporter and I mention 88 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: her all the time. Ashley Zavala from KCRA Television Channel 89 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: three in Sacramento, who took on Newsom and the Attorney 90 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: General Rob Banta about whether it's appropriate for the California 91 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: legislature to withhold records and the updated cost of the project. 92 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: There has been no public cost updates since twenty twenty two. 93 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: Now I'm going to play you a clip. 94 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,239 Speaker 1: Here because I wish you could see the body language 95 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: of Newsom. Well, Ashley Zavala asked this question, He's very 96 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: uncomfortable and kicks it over to Rob Bonta at first, Now, 97 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: do we have the question here? Because I know it's 98 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: a little hard to hear, but I'll just explain to you. 99 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: If you don't think it. I'll just stick with it, 100 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: right Zavala asking Newsom in Bonta if it's appropriate for 101 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: the legislators legislators to withhold information about the cost of 102 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: the project. 103 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: I want to first acknowledge that neither one of you 104 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 3: were leading the Capital Annex project. But mister Turney General 105 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: he voted to approve it in twenty eighteen. 106 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: Mister Governor, the Department of General. 107 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 3: Services, which you oversee as part of it. It has 108 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 3: been in the three years since the legislature updated the 109 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 3: public on the cost of that podject. It is happening 110 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 3: right now. Would be one of your windows could probably 111 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 3: over see it. You see, the construction is happening, But 112 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 3: yet the Legislature's Joint Rules Committee refuses to provide an update. 113 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 3: We've reported that they have violated the legislative of the 114 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 3: Records Act. They are continuing to withhold public records. I 115 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 3: have asked for an interview for more than a year now, 116 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 3: and no one will provide an update. I mean, is 117 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 3: is that appropriate on a on a one of the 118 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 3: most expensive buildings in the United States at this. 119 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 4: Point, By the way, I don't think that's appropriate that 120 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 4: this should provide you the information period full stop. 121 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 5: But for you to conflate or compare contrast is with 122 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 5: all due respect, I think that I would separate talking 123 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 5: about drug room and what Donald Trump just did and 124 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 5: desecration and the process and that he had evolved in 125 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 5: the fact that he secured three hundred million dollars under 126 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 5: curious circumstances from the annex, and what the legislature's trying 127 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,679 Speaker 5: to do. And I'm not trying to defend those actions, 128 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 5: but absolutely they should providing that you mention just balanced. 129 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: I mean, there's construction happening in that capital, for your capital, 130 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 3: and so that's why I'm asking, Yeah, it's that appropriate, though, 131 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 3: I mean truly for the public. 132 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 5: To not know how they should know, That's what I said, 133 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 5: they should, you should that information. 134 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: I agree it's inappropriate. 135 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 4: Think, by the way, I didn't know they were not 136 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 4: talking to you. I apologize that members of the legislature 137 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 4: are not talking to you. They're on recess. I'll check 138 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 4: in with them, let me know. I'm happy to happy 139 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 4: to help you try to get access to members of 140 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 4: the California Legislature with respect not my branch of government, 141 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 4: but I'm happy because as a taxpayer, I'd like to 142 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 4: know as well. I appreciate the question you asked, and 143 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 4: I think it would be appropriate to provide that information, 144 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 4: and you should have access to it the public. It's 145 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 4: the public's building. You absolutely deserve that. So, yes, it's inappropriate, 146 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 4: Yes you deserve that information, and yes we're happy to 147 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 4: help you. Thank you. 148 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: I don't care what a condescending ahole isn't he He's 149 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: talking to her in this soft voice like he was 150 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: trying to calm and unrually chy. Of course he had 151 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: to object for com conflating and comparing to the Trump thing. Well, 152 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: he's been squawking quite a bit about the Trump ballroom, 153 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: and that's private money. And the White House is not 154 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: sacred ground, like I just said. It's been remodeled dozens 155 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: of times. And there is a who gives a crap anyway? 156 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: Is it really a single citizen in the United States 157 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: that gives a crap how a White House is designed 158 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: or remodeled, what's torn down, and what's added to come on? 159 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:32,479 Speaker 2: It's nonsense. 160 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: It's just this anti Trump hysteria, and he's been part 161 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: of it, and it's a perfectly legitimate conflation. In comparison, 162 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: it's like, where's all your outrage and anger over a 163 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: billion and a half dollars in tax money being spent 164 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: without a single update for over three years, and by 165 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: the way, no coverage of this, because if I'd known this, 166 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: we would have been talking about it for the last 167 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: three and a half years. 168 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: This is the first I've read about this. 169 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: And again, the only rep in the entire state of 170 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: California that covers this stuff is Ashley Zavalla from Channel 171 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: three in Sacramento. And his first response, and you have 172 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: to watch the video to see is uncomfortable silence, and 173 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: he's shifting. He looks at Bonta and he says, you're 174 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: my attorney. 175 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 5: You're my attorney. 176 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, because he doesn't know you think he should know 177 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: the state capitol. I mean, that's he works. He works 178 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: in these buildings. Imagine you're in charge. He's basically in 179 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: charge of the company there right in Sacramento. You're in 180 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,599 Speaker 1: charge of the company. They spend a billion and a 181 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: half dollars, massive cost, overrun, massive delay in the project, 182 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: some kind of stupid booondoggle, and I'm sure the money 183 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: is going to developers and contractors with political connections, probably 184 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: kickbacks going to certain politicians. You know, it's like high 185 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: speed rail and he scolds her and then talks softly. 186 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: How come you're not on the leading edge of this. 187 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: You're on the leading edge of trying to scream at 188 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: Trump over a stupid ballroom. You're not on the leading 189 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: edge of trying to explain how this office remodel for 190 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: a billion and a half dollars. 191 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 2: Nobody's explained it for three years. We're coming up. 192 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 193 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 6: six forty. 194 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: Coming up in the next segment. We know that Karen 195 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: Bass was drinking with the President of Ghana when the 196 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: palisades caught fire, and it took her a long time 197 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: to get back here, and when she came back, she 198 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: was of no use. You know who else started drinking 199 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: after the fire? Gavin Newsom. This is another story that 200 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: popped up in the last week. I was guided see it. 201 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: But apparently he and Fred his drank a bottle of 202 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: tequila because because Newsom was so upset that Trump was 203 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: blaming him for the fire. True story and uh, it 204 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: was in Bloomberg BusinessWeek and we will tell you more 205 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: coming up in just a few minutes meantime, we we 206 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: we played your clip of the only reporter who covers 207 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: Sacramento government, and that's Ashley Zabala a k c R 208 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: Channel three and Sacramento asking Newsom and Rob Monte, the 209 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: attorney General, it's is this appropriate that the legislators will 210 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: not explain why this construction project, the Capital Annex has 211 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: has has huge cost overruns. It's now a billion and 212 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: a half dollars. It's a half a billion over budget, 213 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: way behind schedule, and nobody will talk about it. Nobody 214 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: returns your calls or emails. Nothing, and and and at 215 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: first Newsom went dead silent, and she put this in 216 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: the context is you're complaining about Trump's ballroom all the time. Wait, 217 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: And that got that gout him upset because what she 218 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: was saying is you're a big hypocrite, aren't you. Public 219 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: money is not spent on Trump's ballroom. It's not public money. 220 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: I don't care, it's private money. 221 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 2: That's his buddies. Do what you want. 222 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: Secondly, I don't care how they reconfigure the White House. 223 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,599 Speaker 1: Why do you You probably didn't even know what had in 224 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: East wing. All these people shouldn't turned down the East 225 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: Wing It's like, did you know they had it? Did 226 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: you know what it was for? Did you know how 227 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: long it's been there? No, this is nonsense. What you 228 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: should be covered? Boy, would I have to see twenty 229 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: four to seven outraged coverage on something like this. A 230 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: billion and a half dollars of your tax money going 231 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: to some project in Sacramento that nobody wants to talk about. Yeah, 232 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: we know that the homeless money in Sacramento about twenty 233 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: four billion underdow. Some disappeared to politically connected nonprofits and knew, 234 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: some admitted it had no effect on homelessness. Twenty four 235 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: billion dollars there. We know that over thirty billion dollars 236 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: was given to the unemployment Department, which sent out that 237 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: thirty billion. Oh it was a it's thirty billion in 238 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: fraudulent claims sent out to people all over the world, 239 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: most of it never recovered. We know seventeen billion has 240 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: been sent to high speed rail companies. No rail has 241 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: been built, so no homeless were helped, no rail has 242 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: been built, and thirty billion dollars in unemployment funds to 243 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: people who weren't even living in the state of California. 244 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 2: Nobody covers that nobody's outraged about that. 245 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: So where do you think this one and a half 246 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: billion dollars is going on a project that's way late 247 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: and way over budget. It's more theft, it's more politically 248 00:14:54,880 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: connected theft. Construction companies, engineering companies, environmental companies, lawyers, consultants, 249 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: blah blah, you know the whole thing. It's parasites. Of course, 250 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't get built. Nothing gets built. 251 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 2: It's just. 252 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: These white collar criminals connected to Gavin Newsom and the 253 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: legislators steal the money and they throw they kick back some, 254 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: they make political donations, and their world keeps turning. Nobody 255 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: asks about that. Nobody's outraged about that. Nobody cares. This 256 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: is it's dead. Everybody's up upset about a ballroom. 257 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 2: That's what's wrong with you. 258 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: This is why I know people truly are deranged. There 259 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: is serious, deep political corruption from top to bottom. They 260 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: are robbing you blind by billions of dollars. And it's 261 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: the highest tax state in the nation, and they're robbing 262 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: you of billions and billions of dollars. And look around 263 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: at what we have. Use your own eyes. Now we 264 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: come back, all right, So we know Bass had a 265 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: fair amount of alcohol in here the night that the 266 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: fire started. Newsom's way to deal with the fire was 267 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: to go back to his mansion and start drinking tequila 268 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: with his friend, and apparently he got loaded. He was 269 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: so upset that Trump was blaming him for the fire. 270 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: I'm not making this up. This is Newsom's story. 271 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 6: When we come back, you're listening to John Cobels on 272 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 6: demand from KFI A six forty. 273 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: Coming up after two o'clock, Alex Stone, ABC News. The 274 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: traffic controllers are getting hungry and they're getting irritated, first 275 00:16:53,600 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: full week without pay. I do want hungry, irritated air 276 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: traffic controllers. 277 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 7: No, I want them to pay the air traffic controllers. 278 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 7: They need to be paid. We want them happy and attentive. 279 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 7: And yes, take out a loan. 280 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: Pay the air traffic controllers. I don't know if they're 281 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: in session or not. Get back in session. Do this. 282 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 2: Why is everybody so stupid? 283 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 7: That's a very good question, John, Why are they so stupid? 284 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: Okay, this I just found out about this at lunch 285 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 1: and looks like a few days ago, well, I was 286 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: still out of the country. Bloomberg, Bloomberg, what's it called 287 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: Bloomberg BusinessWeek? Interviewed Newsom at the Governor's mansion in Sacramento. 288 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: Wide ranging interview. I haven't read the whole story, and 289 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: it's a very long, thicked story, so there's probably a 290 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: lot of goodies in this. But there was an excerpt 291 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: going around that I discovered today. Somebody told me about it. 292 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: And what did Newsome do after a week of standing 293 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: around at the fire watching La burn? What did he do? Well, 294 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: he went back to his mansion and got really drunk. 295 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: And this is the story that he tells and one 296 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: of his close friends, Doug Hendrickson, because Hendrickson was getting 297 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: drunk with him. So this is what the governor did 298 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: after lying all over the place, Remember telling that that 299 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: mom and palisades that, oh I'm on the phone with 300 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: Joe Biden literally right now, and then telling everybody, Oh, 301 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna streamline everything. 302 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 2: Oh you know, I sent I pre deployed fire trucks 303 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 2: to the area. No you didn't, you lied? Oh yeah, 304 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 2: wait we cut the brush. No you didn't, you lied. 305 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: In fact, the fire started on state land and none 306 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,959 Speaker 1: of the brush was cleared, and that's why the thing exploded. 307 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 2: Why lie, lie, lie, Well, I'm. 308 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: Going to read you from the story by Joshua Green 309 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: and Elihu Thamischer. Shell Shocked and exhausted after a week 310 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: on the front lines, Newsom holed up at home with 311 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: a bottle of tequila and one of his closest friends, 312 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: Doug Hendrickson. Hendrickson recalls quote, he was getting absolutely massacred 313 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: by everybody, like it was his fault, the whole thing. 314 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: He was sort of a train wreck. Boy, that's what 315 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: you wanted a president. Huh, Well, it's a big chunk 316 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: of it was his fault. He didn't pre deploy anybody. 317 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: He should have sent the National Guard down here in 318 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: the cow fire trucks and all that brush should have 319 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: been cleared months and months ago. He should have known 320 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: about the reservoir. He's the governor who if not hidden, 321 00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: and who if not fast and who? So he goes 322 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: home and gets loaded. Knew some agrees he was reeling. 323 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: I felt the weight of everything collapsing. It's his career 324 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: that he saw collapsing. We just lost the election. I 325 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: was watching Elon at peak Elon Trump at peak Trump, 326 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: and Trump's behavior didn't track with the guy. 327 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 2: Knew some thought he knew. 328 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: I'd worked with Trump after the Palisades after the Paradise fires, 329 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is a different guy. But Trump 330 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: saw what a disaster the government here is in California, 331 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: and he called it accurately. There was zero preparation, there 332 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: was zero predeployment. There was no taking care of the 333 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: brush on state park land, and that was the first 334 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: stuff that burned. There was no unseen warnings or involvement 335 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: from the governor or the mayor. There was no local 336 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,719 Speaker 1: fire department, no county fire department, no state fire department 337 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: that showed up. Yeah, the whole world should collapse on 338 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: your head, because this is your responsibility. 339 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 2: This was what a governor's supposed to do. 340 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: You failed. You failed miserably. Thousands of people lost their 341 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: homes and dozens of people lost their lives. 342 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 7: You just feelings were hurt. 343 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: Well, he sounds like a whiny little kid who's like 344 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: like a whiny teenager whose girlfriend just broke up with him. 345 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: He's he's emotionally a wreck. And I guess when the 346 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: pressures on, he starts drinking. Remember the remember years ago 347 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: he admitted he had an alcohol problem, that he was 348 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: drinking too much wine, and that he was going for counseling. 349 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: And then he went for counseling and it was some 350 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: kind of weird counseling, like it wasn't a real like 351 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: AA thing or anything. He went to some therapist or 352 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: something and said, well, it wasn't really alcohol rehab counseling. 353 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: You know, he kind of backed away from it. I 354 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: really don't have a problem, but I have read a 355 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: lot of stories that have intimated when he was in 356 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: San Francisco he had substance problems. And he's see underneath 357 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: that that suit and the hair. He knows he's not 358 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: bright well, and he's faking. 359 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 7: It well because of a lot of the words that 360 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 7: he chooses that don't really make a lot of sense 361 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 7: in the sentences. He's trying to make himself seem smarter. 362 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 7: People do that all the time. I run into people 363 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 7: all the time, and this is classic. 364 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: They try to use bigger words that they don't know 365 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: what the words mean or how to pronounce them. And 366 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: he tries to use jargon like tech jargon. And I 367 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: asked a friend of mine who's in the tech business, like, 368 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: why do guys do that? And he said, because they're insecure, 369 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: so they feel if they use tech jargon, it'll look 370 00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: like they're much smarter than they are. They know what 371 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,959 Speaker 1: you're talking about. And the average person goes, wow, look 372 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: at those complicated words that he's using to describe it. 373 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: But he doesn't. He doesn't. 374 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 2: He says, meet the moment, and meet the moment. 375 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 7: Period full stop. He has all these I don't even 376 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 7: know what you want to call those. 377 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 2: Things. 378 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: I've never seen anybody else. Period full stop. He dropped 379 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: the one in that press conference that you know a 380 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: period full stop comes from no telegrams. When you ever 381 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: seen an old movie when people dictate telegrams, You're you're 382 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: talking over the phone to the telegraph operator and you 383 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: have to let them know when you've come to the 384 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: end of a sentence and start a new sentence. 385 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 2: Will I do that when I do dictation? 386 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 7: When I text people? It never makes sense, But I 387 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 7: always say period, period full stop. 388 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 2: Do you say period full stop in your own No?
