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

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: If you missed the first hour, it's part of the podcast.

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: After four o'clock, podcasts will be released John Cobelt's show

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: on demand. And we covered the third LA Fire Department

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: chief this year who apparently is angry at the media

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: for exposing the secrets regarding the Palisades fire. Secrets that

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: are being leaked through text messages of LA firefighters and

9
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 2: secrets being leaked in a public letter by LA Fire

10
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: Department personnel as well. And I mean more, the new

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 2: fire chief is angry at the media for reporting what

12
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: the firefighters are texting and what the firefighters are writing

13
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: in this letter. So we have the third straight zero

14
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: as a as a fire chief here in.

15
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 1: Bye I mean bass is.

16
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: That has she appointed anybody who's any good at anything

17
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: in the three years she's been mayor.

18
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: That's in the first hour.

19
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: Now we've got more secrets, these secrets up in Sacramento,

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: the state capital. You may not know this, we covered it.

21
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: Some has built an annex or is building an annex

22
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: that's costing us, you and me a billion and a

23
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: half dollars in tax money a billion and a half,

24
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: which is triple the cost that was projected, and it

25
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: may go a lot higher than that. We're going to

26
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: talk with Katie Grimes from californiaglobe dot com.

27
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: Katie, how are you doing well?

28
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: John? Thank you for people.

29
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: Just hearing about this. What is this California State Capital Annex?

30
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: What is this thing?

31
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: So a big portion of the capitol has not the

32
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: old beautiful, you know, classic structure, but the part that

33
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 3: was built in the fifties where all the legislative offices

34
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: were in committee hearing rooms and kind of you know,

35
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: where all the sausages made, that part has been torn down.

36
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: This started in twenty twenty when California was under Gavin

37
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: Newsom's strict lockdown and for some reason the governor and

38
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: the legislators decided, ooh, now would be a good time

39
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: to tear half of our capital down and rebuild it

40
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: and stick the cost to the taxpayers. So at the

41
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: time the and again I remember there were no committee

42
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: hearings going on, media had no access to the governor.

43
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: Everything we ever did was on zoom, and so they

44
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: just jammed this through, got it approved and then announced

45
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: that the renovation would start and it would only be

46
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: five hundred and forty three point two million dollars to

47
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 3: quote renovate the building. Since then, it has ballooned to

48
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 3: one point five or one point six billion that they're

49
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: even admitting, and that's been like the last couple of years.

50
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: They won't even tell us now. All of Media's California

51
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: Public Records Act requests have been denied. They have forced

52
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 3: everybody involved with the project, including lawmakers, to sign non

53
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: disclosure agreements. Clearly, there's a lot of information about this

54
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: project that they don't want out, and I'm really questioning

55
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: how they're going to try to sell this to the

56
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: public after the fact.

57
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: Uh, they get to wait, they get to create a

58
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: wall of secrecy with non disclosure agreements when they're spending

59
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: a billion and a half dollars in tax money. I

60
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: don't understand that they're supposed to be all kinds there's

61
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: all kinds of laws that require all this business to

62
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: be done out in the open, and that since it's

63
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: our money, that we have every right to know what

64
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: they're doing with it. So so, really a non disclosure

65
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: agreement forbids public information from being disseminated to the public.

66
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: You know, John, you asked some very good questions, and

67
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 3: these are all things that would have to be answered

68
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: if the large media outlets in the state would get

69
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 3: together and file a lawsuit against the governor of the legislature,

70
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 3: the committee running this debacle. But they won't. I suspect

71
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: so many of them, says I've even talked with people, Oh,

72
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 3: we don't want to lose our seat at the table,

73
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: and I hasten to remind them that if they're ignoring

74
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: your public records or quests, you don't have a seat

75
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: at the table.

76
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: Oh wait a second, are you talking about journalists? Are

77
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: you talking about media outlets? They don't want to lose

78
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: their seat at what table?

79
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I keep telling them. You don't have

80
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: a seat at the table.

81
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,799
Speaker 2: But what table? What are they looking for here? Yeah,

82
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: they're supposed to be outsiders. There's supposed to be skeptical

83
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: outsiders trying to pierce all this secrecy. That's their job. Well,

84
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: I don't understand what's being served at this table.

85
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: No, John, what's being served at this table is a

86
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 3: lot of favoritism. A lot of the mainstream media in

87
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: California has just become kind of the official arm of

88
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: the Democrat supermajority. I mean, you read the same fawning

89
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: stories that I do. And unfortunately, in the meantime, the

90
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 3: governor and the legislature really violated the state's Open Meeting Act.

91
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: They violated the state's Public Records Act. Who knows what

92
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 3: else they violated. I don't see how they can force

93
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 3: contractors and fellow lawmakers to adhere to non disclosure agreements

94
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: at all. But again, we won't know unless somebody files

95
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: a big old lawsuit.

96
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: Have you thought, is it a California globe capable of

97
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: filing the lawsuit?

98
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: I know these things are.

99
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: Expensive, yeah, not by ourselves.

100
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: So you need you need a major media outlet here.

101
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 3: You really need. Actually, where the strength is that several

102
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: of the big media outlets get together and do this.

103
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 3: Then they you know, then you can't just have everybody

104
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: pointing fingers at one you. You know, you would have

105
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: the LA Times, the McClatchy, San Francisco, Chronicle San Diego

106
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 3: or any of the La LA media.

107
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: Group, and then the TV stations and then I mean

108
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 2: that they are all affiliates of the networks.

109
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 3: Yes, and I cleared this with an attorney who works

110
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: in and around the capitol. He said, yeah, the media

111
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: outlets would just get together. They could very easily do this.

112
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: But they're afraid. They're afraid they're going to lose their

113
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: seat at the table.

114
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow, I've been told that too many times over

115
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: the years of it.

116
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: But I mean, that's that's code for something. I mean,

117
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 2: they're these media outlets. First of all, they rarely publish

118
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: any stories on the California state government. What they what

119
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: they publish are glossy profiles of how wonderful Gavin Newsom is. Yeah,

120
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: there's one TV reporter because we play her clips all

121
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 2: the time, and I wish there was a second person.

122
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: I'd give the second person credit, but the only one

123
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: that we can find is Casey r A Channel three

124
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: and Sacramento.

125
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: Ashley Zavala correct and she good.

126
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, she's got stuff almost every day, continuously posting

127
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: stuff on social media. She's the only one who's confrontational

128
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: and not afraid of Newsom or anybody else.

129
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: And that's it. There's nobody else, No.

130
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: There's nobody else. Unfortunately, because she has a TV crew

131
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 3: with her, they really can't duck her. The way they

132
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: can a print journalist or little of me who doesn't

133
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 3: even get called back half the time.

134
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: But that she's one out of probably three or four

135
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: Sacramento TV stations. You must have a half a dozen

136
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: San Francisco stations, got half a dozen LA stations here

137
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: and then everybody in between. And nobody in this state

138
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: is interested in covering I mean, look, look at the

139
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: news some investigation into his administration. Now with the FBI,

140
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: there's a tremendous amount of corruption going on.

141
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: There's a lot of there there and I you know,

142
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: we we scratch the surface with a California globe and

143
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: there's so much more. Well, it's yeah, and this, this,

144
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: this situation with the Capitol building project shows you that.

145
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: Uh, can you hang on for another segment because I

146
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: want to talk about the FBI, uh, apparently intercepting all

147
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: kinds of electronic communications of dozens of news administration officials.

148
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 2: By the way, I know you're a small operation there,

149
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 2: you do an incredible job.

150
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: These days.

151
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: We're using more your stories than any other news outlet

152
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 2: in the state.

153
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 3: Thank you.

154
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: Well, I know if you don't have a big staff,

155
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: but what you're doing is high quality.

156
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: Whatever you're putting out.

157
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 3: Uh, John, appreciate that.

158
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,439

170
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: We continue now with California Globe dot com Katie Grimes,

171
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: and now we're going to talk about the FBI. Sam

172
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 2: just a chronicle d this story. First, the FBI intercepted

173
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: dozens of tronic communications of dozens of Sacramento insiders. And

174
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: it looks like hold on because I scrambled my my

175
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: my pages here, I guess it was all their phone calls,

176
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: their emails, electronic communications of any kind. What do you

177
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: know about this?

178
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: I probably don't know any more than you know at

179
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: this point, certainly nobody in the capitol talking, but this

180
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 3: looks very very serious to me. You know, if you

181
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 3: remember previous episodes in the California State Capitol, I remember

182
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: the Senator Lili with the rocket launcher sales, and there

183
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: was a Senator Calderon with the bribery scheme. And boy,

184
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: when the FBI descends on the capitol, there's some there there.

185
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 3: So I don't think this is frivolous at all. And

186
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 3: I'll bet you this is like they've scattered this bignette

187
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: and they're going to probably pull in some big fish.

188
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: It's all our phone calls, texts, all electronic communications. Dozens

189
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: of people in the newsub administration, dozens of other Sacramento insiders.

190
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 2: They all got FBI letters in the last few days

191
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: saying we have we already have the communications.

192
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 3: Right and yeah, that would be unnerving.

193
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: Now.

194
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: You know.

195
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: It starts with the corruption case involving the former chief

196
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: of staff Dean News and Dana Williamson and others, but

197
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: it seems like, as you just said, there's other scandals there.

198
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: There's other stories that the FBI wants to unravel. Is

199
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: that is that a fair assessment here that not all

200
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: of this is related to Dana Williamson.

201
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds well even if it does during the

202
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 3: time period she was there, you know, I mean just

203
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 3: you can read what she's accused of doing and you know,

204
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: using her office to get the Attorney general to you know,

205
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: quickly flee a case with one of her clients and

206
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 3: stuff like that. That's that's bad, really bad. But the

207
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: fact that they have notified so many newsome administration people, lobbyists,

208
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 3: people in the community that they have their communications is

209
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: that's huge. That is absolutely huge.

210
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 2: And that whole crowd compulsively texts to each other and

211
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 2: they compulsively gossip to each other. So if everybody's text

212
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: and emails and phone calls have been have been collected

213
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 2: by the FBI, all kinds of bad behavior could be

214
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: exposed here.

215
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: I think so. And again I think this is kind

216
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 3: of the the result of this Democrat supermajority running everything

217
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 3: in the state capital in the state. It is it's

218
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: a license to steal, and I think we're going to

219
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: find out just what the booty was.

220
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: The range of dates for the communications that were intercepted

221
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 2: went from May of twenty twenty four to the end

222
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: of July of twenty twenty four. This is under the

223
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 2: Joe Biden administration that these intercepts were authorized. So this

224
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with Trump. The original investigation and

225
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: the intercepts, right, and which.

226
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 3: Makes me laugh that his pr flax have been screaming

227
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 3: retaliation now. I think it also shows you that there,

228
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: despite our criticisms of the previous FBI director et cetera

229
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: and the top staff, there are really good, very serious

230
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 3: people working in the FBI and the DOJ, and they

231
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 3: were doing their jobs in spite of a crappy administration.

232
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 2: I'm surprised how little leaks out of the Newsom administration.

233
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: I mean, there's so much bad stuff going on. There's

234
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: so little media coverage except to lionize him as you know,

235
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: the next great hope to save America. But it's it's

236
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: so dirty, and yet hardly anybody talks and hardly anybody

237
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: questions and pokes around.

238
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's incredibly frustrating to me, you know, and

239
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: there is there is so much stirt there. I don't

240
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 3: you know, whether we're talking about Gavin Newsom's no bid

241
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 3: uh you know, one point four billion dollar mask deal

242
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: with byd that the Chinese bus company during COVID, or

243
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: his weird trip to China, or the miraculous cleanup of

244
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 3: San Francisco for Chinese officials. Gavin Newsom has very, very

245
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 3: serious and very long time ties to China, going back

246
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 3: to his days as mayor. I would hope they're looking at.

247
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: That too, all right, Katie, thank you for coming on.

248
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 3: Thank you, John.

249
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 2: Katie Grimes from californiglobe dot com. Definitely, I look at

250
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: it every day, one of the first places I go

251
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: to each morning, and again if you're just joining us.

252
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: Apparently dozens current and former members of Newsom's administration, dozens

253
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: of Sacramento insiders got a letter from the FBI recent

254
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: days that their phone calls, texts, and other electronic communications

255
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: were intercepted as part of a federal corruption investigation starting

256
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: with Dana Williamson, Newsom's chief of staff. But odds are

257
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: they're finding all kinds of all kinds of dirt there.

258
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: They've got to. That place is so disgusting and dirty

259
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: and corrupt. It just can't go on forever. This way,

260
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: We'll continue.

261

Speaker 2: get information and entertainment from all of us here. Now

277
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: this is really you know, and the thing is smart

278
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: people knew this was coming. University of California, San Diego,

279
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: you see, San Diego released a report and this is

280
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 2: really bad. They found that one out of eight incoming

281
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 2: freshmen do not meet middle school math standards. Middle school

282
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 2: is sixth seventh eighth grade, sixth seventh eighth grade, and

283
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 2: one out of eight freshmen forget twelfth, eleventh, tenth, and ninth.

284
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: They can only do what's a seventh graders are doing. Wait,

285
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 2: let me correct that they can't do what seventh graders

286
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 2: are doing.

287
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: They do not meet middle school math scores.

288
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 2: It's not that they have middle school math abilities, is

289
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: they can't even make that level. So now what are

290
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: we talking about? Fifth grade and lower? And you see

291
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: San Diego is a really good school, that's one of

292
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: the better ones in the UC system. Well, why are

293
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 2: they admitting these people? Question number one? Why are they

294
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: admitting these people? Well, it looks like the university is

295
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 2: flying blind because according to the report you see, border

296
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 2: regents eliminated standardized tests, no more SAT or ACT, so

297
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 2: there's no incentive to.

298
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: Learn this stuff. So you do well on the SAT.

299
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 2: And they'll test for it anyway, and they're graduated anyway.

300
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: Can you imagine.

301
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: Graduating all these kids and they're getting into a really

302
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: good you see system college and they can't do sixth

303
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: grade math. That's now the bigger reason when they shut

304
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: down the schools during COVID up down the schools and

305
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: it looks like, without a doubt, remote learning was a huge,

306
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 2: gigantic failure. And now five years later, these kids don't

307
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: even have fifth grade maths skills. And this is Gavin

308
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: Newsom and the Democratic legislature and the teachers' union, those maniacs,

309
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: the maniac teachers. Do the teachers feel any shame? And

310
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 2: I'm not just saying the union leaders that's always the

311
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: cop out. No, no, teachers, are you ashamed of this

312
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 2: that you sent these people to college and they can't

313
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 2: even do sixth grade math? In Florida, they were only

314
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 2: closed from March to June of twenty twenty. They sent

315
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 2: their kids back by the fall. A lot of states did.

316
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: There was no massive increase in COVID infections. California didn't

317
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 2: let kids go back to school to September of twenty

318
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: twenty one, not twenty twenty. September of twenty twenty one was.

319
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: A year and a half.

320
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: And now look, this is permanent brain damage they suffered,

321
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: and it's been proven.

322
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: Now I knew this was going to take a little while.

323
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 2: You're not gonna really this statistic here, according to this report,

324
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: and again this is from UC San Diego, the number

325
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 2: of freshmen at that college who did not meet middle

326
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: school middle school standards in math increased thirtyfold thirtyfold between

327
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 2: twenty twenty and twenty twenty five, thirty times as many

328
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 2: kids now do not meet middle school math proficiency standards.

329
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 2: Freshmen at UC San Diego they're eighteen nineteen years old.

330
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 2: I mean that is.

331
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: Six seven eight.

332
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: That is seven years worth of education that didn't stick.

333
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 2: They didn't pick up any of the math skills that

334
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: you need in sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and

335
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: twelfth grade. In fact, they're stuck in fifth grade or

336
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: before because of the COVID lockdown, because they stopped ACT

337
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: and SAT testing, So there's no motivation for the kids

338
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 2: to learn.

339
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: I don't read that.

340
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 2: But there is a moron who runs are he's the

341
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: superintendent of public instruction. Name's Tony Thurman, State superintendent, and

342
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 2: he says, well.

343
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: Look at the high school graduation rates.

344
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 2: By the way, Thurman is a complete moron, and he's

345
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: running for governor. He's got like one percent what he's

346
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: doing running the public school system. So here's what they did.

347
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 2: They stopped teaching math for a year and a half.

348
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: They stopped the SAT and the ACT scores and the testing.

349
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: Kids learned nothing for at least the last seven years.

350
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: But they graduated them anyway. They graduated high school. They

351
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 2: applied to UC San Diego and got accepted. But they

352
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 2: don't know any math. Do you realize the era that

353
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 2: we're entering here, the era of AI and they can't

354
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: do the math that an eleven or eleven year old

355
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: can do or should know.

356
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: How to do. I said, not only, not only the

357
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: COVID lockdown.

358
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 2: Which should be the biggest stain on Gavin Newsom when

359
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 2: he starts actually competing. He should be hounded from here

360
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: to eternity for destroying the brains and the educational development

361
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: of literally millions of children with his idiotic lockdown. Why

362
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: isn't that an unforgivable, mortal sin that he committed. Why

363
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 2: do the teachers' unions still exist?

364
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 3: You know?

365
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: I You know, in Florida you get eight thousand dollars

366
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: from the state and you get to pick what school

367
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: you want to go to. You mentioned if we all

368
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 2: got eight thousand dollars, I mean, the public school in

369
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: my district was such an abomination. I'd spent a fortune

370
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 2: on private school. I was lucky I could afford it.

371
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: A lot of people can't. But in Florida have are

372
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 2: given people eight thousand dollars so that they're not stuck

373
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: with a really, really bad public school system.

374
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: If I hear anybody carrying on, oh, the public school system,

375
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: it's a cornerstone of American.

376
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 2: Many of them, especially in the cities, are disasters. And

377
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: what you have here is psychopaths running our asylum, from

378
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: psychlopath Newsom to the cycle paths who run the LA

379
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: School district, the cyclopaths who run the teachers unions. How

380
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 2: can you have this? How can you have this where

381
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: thousands of kids don't even know don't know sixth grade math?

382
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 2: One news outlet, another good one called the Center Square.

383
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 2: They called San Diego State. You see San Diego, u CLA, Berkeley,

384
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: Santa Barbara, Irvine and others. Nobody would respond with a

385
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 2: comment on this. Aren't they awful? People?

386
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: Aren't they awful?

387
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 2: What if I told you in twenty nineteen, it's like, hey,

388
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 2: next year they're going to concoct a plan between the

389
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 2: governor and the teachers unions and the legislature, and your

390
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 2: kids seven years from now will still be doing fifth

391
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: grade math when they enter at UC freshman year because

392
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 2: of what Newsome and the teachers unions are going to

393
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 2: do to your kid basically create, basically cause permanent brain damage.

394
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: What would you've said, Well, that's what they did and

395
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 2: they got away with it. We're coming up.

396
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.

397
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: The UH Alex Stone is coming on right after three o'clock. Uh.

398
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 2: The Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy UH wants people to start

399
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: behaving properly and dressing better when you go on airlines,

400
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 2: which I'm all for here because people are really disgusting

401
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 2: and smelly when they go on airlines. And I'm tired

402
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 2: of saying their their their shabby clothing, their their lack

403
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: of body hygiene. It's really foul. And there's now a

404
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: video out and it looks like it's.

405
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: Uh.

406
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 2: The Transportation Secretary is going to go full board to

407
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: trying to people to uh behave themselves and to dress

408
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 2: more towards the way people used to dress uh airplanes.

409
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that coming up.

410
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: I've you know, Jasmine Crockett is Jasmine Crockett is this

411
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 2: loud mouth Congress woman in Texas. She she's always shooting

412
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: off her mouth with a bunch of insults in anti Trump,

413
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 2: anti Republicans, you know, the whole routine. And she thought

414
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: she had a real scoop here because she went online

415
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 2: and found out that Jeffrey Epstein or somebody named Jeffrey

416
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 2: Epstein donated a lot of money to a lot of

417
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: Republican candidates and Republican organizations. I'm going to play you

418
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 2: this clip. It's debate on the House floor. This is

419
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 2: Jasmine Krott Crockett going after Republicans and she claims that

420
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 2: she found that Jeffrey Epstein had donated a lot lot

421
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: of money to various people. Apparently the House wanted to

422
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 2: censure a delegate named Stacy Plaskett, a Democrat, because she

423
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 2: didn't sign on to the Epstein Files Discharge petition or

424
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 2: something or other. Apparently she was exchanging messages with Epstein

425
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,959
Speaker 2: while Congress was in session. I just want to explain

426
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: who Plasket is. The real point of this is Crockett

427
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 2: play the clip.

428
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 5: This is a distraction to take away from the fact

429
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 5: that the Guardians of Pedophiles is literally trying to protect pedophiles.

430
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 5: The President is a convicted FELA and an accused sex offender.

431
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 5: Stacy Plasket hasn't been accused of either.

432
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 6: So what are we actually here talking about?

433
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 5: Trump and Epstein were besties. We've all seen the pictures

434
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 5: of them. We saw the birthday book. So why are

435
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 5: y'all more interested in talking about Stacey Plaskett than Trump's

436
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 5: relationship with the man.

437
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 6: When did y'all become so moral?

438
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 5: Because I can remember when when y'all wouldn't sign the

439
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 5: discharge petition.

440
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 4: All of a.

441
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 5: Sudden, everybody wanted to vote for this, but you wouldn't

442
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 5: sign the discharge petition until we decide that we are

443
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 5: going to go after the actual rapists and pedophiles. Miss

444
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 5: me with your moral high ground, folks who also took

445
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 5: money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein. As I had my

446
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 5: team dig in very quickly, met Romney, the NRCC, Lee Zelden,

447
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 5: George Bush when read McCain, Palin Rick Lazio, I just

448
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 5: want to be clear, if this is the standard that

449
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 5: we gonna make, just know we gonna expose it all

450
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 5: and just know that the FEC filings.

451
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 6: They are available for everybody to review.

452
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 5: This is absolutely ridiculous.

453
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 6: You decide that you want to punish a sitting member.

454
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 5: Of Congress because you are concerned about her text messages, Well,

455
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 5: maybe you should be more concerned about those sex takes

456
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 5: that we still haven't gotten access to.

457
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,239
Speaker 6: Maybe you should be more concerned.

458
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 5: With the fact that the president his name is mentioned

459
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 5: in the files way more than Stacy Plaski's name.

460
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 6: Listen.

461
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 5: I'm not saying that anything is right or wrong, but listen,

462
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 5: if you're trying to figure out what goe all with

463
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 5: somebody that's a criminal, then you maybe need to talk

464
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 5: to their associates.

465
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 6: That's exactly why maybe she was getting text messages.

466
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 5: I'm not saying she was or wasn't, because are in

467
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 5: the fact that they were talking to another associate of

468
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 5: the presidents, and maybe she needed intel. You'd have to

469
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 5: go talk to somebody that maybe knows what he's.

470
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: Time has expired.

471
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, more than time has expired. I think I

472
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: lost fifty brain cells listening to that. Jasmine Crockett, all right,

473
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: you heard her list of people that she said took

474
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: money from, Jeffrey Epstein, Jim Garrity. Did a little digging,

475
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: It's likely all these people are other Jeffrey Epstein's. There's

476
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 2: nearly three hundred Jeffrey Epstein's around the United States. White

477
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: Pages lists lists nineteen people named Jeffrey Epstein in New

478
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: York State and ninety three people across the United States,

479
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: and Rolling Stone says, there's three hundred of these people,

480
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 2: and God knows what these guys have to go through.

481
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 2: So those are likely other Jeffrey Epstein's who donated money

482
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: to these other politicians, Republican politicians. And by the way,

483
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: Jasmine Crockett's going to run for senator. You think in

484
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 2: Texas they'd elect her as Senator Debor Mark is Off

485
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,800
