1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,880 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 2: I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt 3 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 2: podcast on the iHeartRadio app. It's John Cobelt Show. Welcome Again. 4 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and 5 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 2: then every day after four o'clock it becomes a podcast, 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 2: John Cobelt's Show on demand, same as the radio show. 7 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 2: You catch up on whatever you missed. And we're opening 8 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: here with former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is back in 9 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 2: the political mix because Schwarzeneger way back in twenty ten, 10 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: was one of the forces behind a proposition that created 11 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 2: an independent redistricting commission in California. Census comes out every 12 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 2: ten years. They redraw the congressional district lines based on 13 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: the new population mix, and Schwarzenegger's plan was it should 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: be independent, no political influence from people in Sacramento or 15 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 2: anywhere else. And we've worked with that now for fifteen 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: years and Gavin Newsome on Stone do it. That's what 17 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: Prop fifty is about. He wants to take away the 18 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: independent commission and return the power basically to his political buddies. 19 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: And we've talked much about this. Schwartzeger is backstarring in 20 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: commercials for no on Prop fifty and let's get the 21 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: governor on right now. You gon to Schwartzager, welcome today. 22 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: I'm fine, How are you terrific? 23 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: I just got back from Europe. I was over there, 24 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: you know, a wonderful trip, getting an award in Spain 25 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: and Malaga from my work in the movies. And then 26 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: I went from there to the Munich at the Oktoberfest 27 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: with my son, who celebrated his birth with his buddies 28 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: over there in Munich. And then I went to Rome 29 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: for an environmental conference with the Pope, and so it 30 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: was a really interesting trip, the whole thing. Now I'm 31 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: back again here, and of course, as you said, I 32 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: never thought that I have to talk about, you know, 33 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: politics and all of this stuff again because I don't 34 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: really get involved in in all this policy stuff here 35 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: in California, even though there's a lot of things I 36 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: don't like, but I don't get really involved. But in 37 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: this one I have to get involved because it's just 38 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: so crazy of what they're trying to do. Just because 39 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: Texas is now we didn't readdistrict thing. Now they say 40 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: we have to do the same thing. We have to 41 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: fight fire with fire. And all of this stuff. And 42 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 1: you know, I said to myself, well, this is insane. 43 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: Two wrongs don't make it right. And you know, and 44 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: to do undo this independent commission and to take away 45 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: the power from the people again and to give it 46 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: back to the politicians. I think it's just such a 47 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: wrong thing to do, and it's really bad, I think 48 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: for California. And so I just wanted to basically get 49 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: involved in to tell the people as that, you know, 50 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: to let them know that I'm against the idea of 51 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: you know, kind of like putting this in hiatus, this 52 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: independent you know, redistrict incommission, because there's all lies. Basically, 53 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: the politicians are going out there and saying this is 54 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: just temporary. Have you ever seen a government program that's temporary. 55 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: I mean, the longest lasting programs are the ones that 56 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: are temporary government programs. I mean, whenever they say that 57 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: it's temporary with taxes, oh man, they're going to continue, 58 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: you know, hitting you with the taxes, and they will 59 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: extend and extend and extend. And the same thing they're 60 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: going to do with the redistrict in Commission because they 61 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: say this is only going to be for six years. 62 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: So I don't even know why they want to do 63 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: it for six years. But the bottom line is, after 64 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: six years, they're going to say, oh, in Texas, there's 65 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: still cherry mandering, so we have to do the same thing. 66 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: So it's all a bunch of nonsense. It's lies, and 67 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: it's to deceive the people and all of this eff 68 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: So I just want to let the people know nothing 69 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: pulting at stake here. I just want to make sure 70 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: that we're protecting our democracy and that we are not 71 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: going to have those politicians rewrite the Constitution of California 72 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: in order to give them more power. That's the bottom line. 73 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 2: Back in twenty ten, this thing passed sixty one to 74 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 2: thirty nine. It was had overwhelming support and. 75 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: Had overwhelming support, and the reason why the people who 76 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: supported it was because they wanted to take that power 77 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: away from the people, the power of drawing the district lines, 78 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: the power of cherrymandering and fixing the elections. So they 79 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: that we finally got rid of that after all of 80 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: this years and decades, and we've created you maybe one 81 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: of the first states to create this independent commission, and 82 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 1: it worked really fantastic. But now you know, NUSOM is 83 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: trying to run for president. I guess that's why he's 84 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: trying to kind of say, oh, we have to go 85 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: and attack Trump, and we have to go into fight 86 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: Trump and all of this stuff. So I understand he's 87 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: agenda and what he wants to accomplish here. But this 88 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: is all good for him, and this is all good 89 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: for the power additions, but it's not good for the people. 90 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: It's terrible for the people because the way what happens 91 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: is is when you give them more power, what if 92 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: they're done with the power so far? I mean, think 93 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: about that. I mean, we have the highest costs of 94 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: living here in California. We have the highest rents in California. 95 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: We have the highest prices of homes in California. They 96 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: went they crippled in two thousand and ten. I just 97 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: read the headline that in San Francisco the rent is 98 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: going up but twelve percent in the last year alone. 99 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: We have the highest gassoleline prices in the nation. We 100 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: have the highest elegricity prices in the nation. So all 101 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: of this stuff doesn't bother me personally because I am 102 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: wealthy enough to pay for all of those things. But 103 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about wait a minute. I'm the supposed 104 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: to predict that the low income and the middle income 105 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: people and protect them from all of this, but they don't, 106 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: So now they want more power to create more chaos 107 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: and more negativity in Curty forty. So I just said, no, 108 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: let's stop it right here, and let's have people vote, 109 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: know on Proposition fifty. 110 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, And the practical consequence of this is about forty 111 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 2: percent of Californian's vote for Republican congressional candidates, and they're 112 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: going to end up with only four Republicans out of 113 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: fifty two seats, about seven percent of the delegation. And 114 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: that on its face just seems terribly unfair, and that 115 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 2: it's unfair. 116 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: Number one, it's not true representation in Curdy forty. The 117 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: people are not getting represented to the right way, and 118 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: those politicians forget that. When you read the Constitution or 119 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: anything else, it says the first three worda we the people. 120 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: It doesn't say we the politicians. So, you know, I 121 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: always feel like they just want to keep taking away 122 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: power from the people. This is very, very dangerous. Even 123 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: Maintain said, you know, off the people, by the people, 124 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: for the people. He did not say off the politicians, 125 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: by the politicians, and for the politicians. No, it says 126 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: in the matter where you look at, it's all about people, 127 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: and so the people have power to go out and 128 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: to vote, and to go and vote no, and to 129 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: just let them and basically send the message to them 130 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: and just say, look, we're not happy what's going on 131 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: in California. I mean, okay, so I understand that he 132 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: wants to fight Trump, and I myself, I'm not a 133 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: big fan of Trump. Right. I voted for, you know, 134 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: another candidate, for Kamala Harris, and not for Trump. So 135 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: I don't like what Trump is doing. There's a lot 136 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: of things I don't like what Trump is doing. But 137 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: the bottom line is the homelessness in California, one hundred 138 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: and eighty seven thousand homeless that keep increasing and increasing 139 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with Trump. That we have the 140 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: highest rent payment in any way in the nation has 141 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: nothing to do with Trump. I mean, there's a lot 142 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: of those kind of things that is going on. The 143 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: housing prices, the electricity becausident, the gas president has nothing 144 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: to do with anything the federal government is doing. This 145 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: is something to do with you mismanagement of the state. 146 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: And now those very very same guys that are mismanaging 147 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: the state want more power to mismanage more. So it's like, hello, 148 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: let's stop it and both know. On proposition fifty, we're going. 149 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 2: To continue with Governor Schwarzenegger. 150 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 3: In just a moment, you're listening to John Cobelt on 151 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 3: demand from KFI Am six forty. 152 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 2: Let's continue with our interview with former Governor Arnold Schwarzeninger 153 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 2: with the record Newsome has left behind, and you articulated 154 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 2: it very well. He wants to run for president. He's 155 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 2: got to distract everybody from his record. So he's whipping 156 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: up fury against Trump, who's not even going to be 157 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: running on the ballot when Newsome finally goes for president. 158 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: No, no, absolutely, But I mean the important thing is, 159 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: let's forget the problems that we have in this state. 160 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: With the prices and with the costs. People cannot live 161 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: here anymore. People cannot afford to live in Los Angeles. 162 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: And so I'm just being environmentally kind of, you know, 163 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: always aware. I say to them my asself, if you 164 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: work in Santa Monica, you cannot live in Santa Monica. 165 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: If you live somewhere far away, an our way so 166 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: now you have to drive with the car an hour 167 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: every day to work and from work home. What do 168 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: you think how much pollution that creates. So we are 169 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: trying to reduce pollution in California, we're trying to reduce 170 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: pollution worldwide, because pollution kills in a seven million people 171 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: a year. So let's all work together on there. But 172 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: this is like bed planning and the permitting process, John, 173 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: it is so pitiful. That is the lowest permitting process 174 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: in the last ten years is this year. So we 175 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: need to get more permits out there so that people 176 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: can build more homes and can build more apartment buildings 177 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: so that we can get rid of this homeless issue 178 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: that we have. But no, they're not giving out the permits, 179 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: so they're slowing it down even more. So the whole 180 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: thing is mismanaged. This has nothing to do with the 181 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: federal government. This has to do with just mismanagement on 182 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: a local and on a statewide level. 183 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: And this is the People's Commission, this redistricting commission, this 184 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 2: is ours. And it's painful to watch people willing to 185 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 2: give away important power that we have right now and 186 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 2: give it away because Newsom's whipping up all fury about Trump, who, 187 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: as you rightly point out, doesn't have much to do 188 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 2: with most of the problems we have in the state. 189 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: Absolutely, and remember they will find excuses. The Democrats and 190 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: the Republicans, actually both parties were always against redistricting reform 191 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: and always against an independent commission. I had it many 192 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: times at the ballot, and you know, and they've spent 193 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: millions and millions of dollars against it. I remember that 194 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: names of Polosis spent millions of dollars against this initiative. 195 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: Then it came back in twenty ten. In two thousand 196 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: and eight, people voted for it. In twenty ten, the 197 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: politicians came back and wanted to get rid of it 198 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: again and went back to the people, and the people again, 199 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: I mean overwhelmingly voted against them and for the independent Commission. 200 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: And so I hope that the people are smart enough 201 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: this time again and protect the independent Commission and vote 202 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: no position fifty. 203 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 2: Are you baffled by the voting patterns of the last 204 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 2: few years? Considering the state the state the California is in, 205 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 2: and the same politicians keep getting rewarded, and Newsom has 206 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 2: super majorities in the Assembly and in the state Senate, 207 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 2: and there just doesn't seem to be much opposition in 208 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 2: any way, and the public just keeps voting the way 209 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: it always voted. Records happened in La what's happened in 210 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 2: Santa Monica. I mean, it's it's insanity, But that doesn't 211 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 2: seem to be another choice. 212 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: Well, John, you hit the nail on the head, because 213 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: the bottom line is that is why they want more power. 214 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: The more power they have and the more they can 215 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: be involved in the jerrymandering, the more they can draw 216 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: the districts in such a way that they always win. 217 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: And when they always win and there's no competition between 218 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: the Democrats and the Republicans, then there's a lack of 219 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: performance because the only thing that brings performance is come addition, 220 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: they don't like competition because they don't really want to 221 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: solve those very important problems. I mean, look at this 222 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: with homeless issue. I mean, we're for the last two 223 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: decades we've been talking about these homeless issues. There's the 224 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: poor people are living on the street. I mean, imagine 225 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: that the veterans that they've been living out there in 226 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: front of the variant administration in brentword, I mean and 227 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: in Westwood. I mean out in front of the administration, 228 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: they're on a street. I mean, those are the kind 229 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: of things that they need to take care of, but 230 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: they don't. They always just promise, and then they spend 231 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: billions of our tax payers dollars. And then the auditor 232 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: comes in and says, wait a minute, there's twenty four 233 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: billion dollars missing. 234 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't that crazy. 235 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: You can explain that there's twenty four billion. 236 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 4: Dollars is as the kind of stuff that goes on 237 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 4: and the people can do nothing about it, and the 238 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 4: homeless can do nothing about it, and the people there, 239 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 4: the low income people and media. 240 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: Income people can do nothing about it. This is what 241 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: they want. They want to have the ultimate power. So 242 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: I'm just concerned that you're going down the wrong slope. 243 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: And always, I mean, you look a little bit at 244 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: you know, Roman history, you realize when you get into 245 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: that how Rome lost the Republic of Rome and became 246 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: a dictatorship was by parties kind of paying each other back. 247 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: Or he did it first, so we have to do 248 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: the same. Then they kill the candidate, then the other 249 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: one creates the private army. Then the other one uses 250 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: an army and goes and storms to Rome, and this 251 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: is how it went. And then all of a sudden 252 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: he was gone. It was a dictatorship. And so I'm 253 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: just concerned that you're giving away too much of our 254 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: democratic power and our democratic principles by you know, this 255 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: proposition fifty and all this stuff that I'm worth. This 256 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: is a slippery slope. So this is why it's very 257 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: important that we stay strong and that the people would 258 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: know I'm proposition fifty. 259 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 2: Obviously, you have a lot to say on this, and 260 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 2: it's really important. I'm going on a trip. I'll be gone. 261 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: You want to host the show while I'm gone for 262 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: an hour? Maybe? 263 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely. I've never done this before, and I always like 264 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: to do things that I've never done before. So I 265 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: can be your guest host and you a printice and 266 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: you know, I gave you the coffee and everything, and 267 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: then you can go then after it on your little 268 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: trip with your family, and that would take care of 269 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: everything else. 270 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 2: All right, we'd love to have you guest host, and 271 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 2: we will set that up very soon. Arnold, be great, 272 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 2: good to talk with you again. Thank you for coming on, 273 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 2: and have. 274 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: A good day. Okay, all right, we'll do okay, and 275 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: remember to keep talking about it. No one proposition fifty No. 276 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: One proposition fifty All right, Arnold Schwarzeger, the former governor 277 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: back in the political game at least to fight this 278 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 2: proposition prop fifty no, and we'll continue coming up. 279 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 3: You're listening to Kobel's on demand from KFI AM six forty. 280 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: After four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the 281 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: iHeart app so much to cover. We just had Arnold 282 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: Schwarzegger on for the last half hour and I want 283 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 2: to talk about him and many other things as well, 284 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 2: but seemed to be on a tight time schedule today 285 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 2: with everybody including we have Jordana Miller, ABC News correspondent 286 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: reporting out of Jerusalem, because this was a landmark day 287 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 2: and earth shaking day. It looks as if Donald Trump 288 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 2: has reached the Holy grail. He actually helped broker a 289 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 2: peace deal between Israel and Hamas. And the latest headline 290 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 2: I'm looking at is the head of Hamas says, yes, 291 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 2: we do have a deal. This is just phase one. 292 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 2: There's a lot to go. Always things can unravel. Jordana 293 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 2: Miller in Jerusalem, tell us what's going on. 294 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 5: It has been a really extraordinary day. You know, the 295 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 5: war in Gaza has come to an end for now 296 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 5: and God willing forever. And that is largely due to 297 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 5: President Trump, his ability to bring Hamas and Natanielle and 298 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 5: the Egypt and Cutter and Turkey back to the table 299 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 5: and in such a stunning speed, really overnight besides signing 300 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:31,479 Speaker 5: that deal, and there's been celebrations breaking, you know, all 301 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 5: since two in the morning until now, right almost twenty 302 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 5: four hours later here in Israel, there are still people 303 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 5: dancing in the hostage square, right, because now we know 304 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 5: that the twenty Israeli hostages that were presumed to be 305 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 5: alive are in fact alive, and Hamas is going to 306 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 5: turn them over Sunday or Monday. Israel is going to 307 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 5: make good and you know, release almost two thousand Palestinian prisoners, 308 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 5: over two hundred who have serious blood on their hands, right, 309 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 5: carried out deadly attacks against Israelis, and the Israeli army 310 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 5: is going to make its first withdrawl. Right, It's going 311 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 5: to withdraw from Gaza City, from parts of hon Units 312 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 5: in the south, parts of northern Gaza, and move east. 313 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 5: It's not going to fully withdraw yet from Gaza, but 314 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 5: it's going to make its first big move, going from 315 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 5: somewhere around controlling about eighty percent of Gaza to controlling 316 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 5: just about fifty, which again is still a decent sizeable 317 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 5: presence in Gaza. And right now we're waiting for the 318 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 5: Israeli government Nataniel's ruling coalition to officially ratify the deal. 319 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 5: We expect that to happen in the next hour or so, 320 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 5: and that will begin this whole process. It will begin 321 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 5: the ceasefire. The Israeli Army will have twenty four hours 322 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 5: to move to its new positions, and we'll see the 323 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 5: exchange in the next few days of living hostages and 324 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 5: Palestinian prisoners. What will take a little bit longer by 325 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 5: the return of the remains, unfortunately, of the twenty eight 326 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 5: hostages who were killed in captivity or are killed on 327 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 5: October seventh, and they that will take longer because Hama 328 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 5: simply hasn't found hasn't found all of the bodies. 329 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 2: They're celebrating on the streets in Israel, and I see 330 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,479 Speaker 2: reports that they're also celebrating in Gaza. The people there 331 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 2: are relieved and very happy that this is ending. 332 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 5: Of course they are, I mean, Gaza has been an 333 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 5: utter hell to live in. Over the last two years, 334 00:19:53,359 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 5: there's been constant Israeli airstrikes. There's vast destruction. Most of 335 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 5: Gauzen's two million people have been displaced, and not once 336 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 5: or twice, but from six and seven and eight and 337 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 5: nine times, right, because the Israeli ordered the Israeli Army 338 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 5: has ordered evacuations over and over again for different and 339 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 5: the same areas in Gaza. So you move back and 340 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 5: then you're told to leave again. Right, That's what we 341 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 5: saw play out over the last several weeks. You know, 342 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 5: almost a million people from Gaza City moved south in 343 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 5: the last several weeks, and there's you know, over nearly 344 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 5: seventy thousand people were killed. A chunk of those are combatants, 345 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 5: but at least half of them are women and children, 346 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 5: and so there's been a lot of death and we 347 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 5: know that, you know, the humanitarian aid. There's been a 348 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 5: food crisis and starvation and hunger persistently across the Gaza 349 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 5: Strip in the last several months, and pockets of famine 350 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 5: as the un set in Gaza City. So you know, 351 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 5: there's celebrations here in Israel, and there certainly are celebrations 352 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 5: in the streets of Gaza as well. 353 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 2: And you said Israel is going to pull back and 354 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 2: will be controlling just fifty percent of Gaza. I know 355 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 2: there's a lot of details still to be negotiated. What 356 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,239 Speaker 2: is the long term goal a complete pull out or 357 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 2: will they retain some kind of presence in Gaza? Right? 358 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 5: So, I think the Israelis will ultimately stay for some 359 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 5: time in a buffer zone, a security buffer zone that 360 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 5: they carved out all along the perimeter of the Gaza strip. 361 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 5: I think they will be there for some years to 362 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 5: come while Gaza, you know, while there's rebuilding, while a 363 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 5: government there takes route, and you know, as Hamas disarms 364 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 5: and an international security force comes in, and the long 365 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 5: term plan for Gaza will will God willing offer a 366 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 5: better future for Gaza's one that you know is not 367 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 5: at all controlled by Hamas. Right, they won't have any 368 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 5: role in government, they won't have any role on the 369 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 5: street right as a as a as an armed militia. 370 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 5: But that will take time and and until that, you know, 371 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 5: more stable and peaceful reality takes shape, I think the 372 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 5: Israelis will be for some time along this security buffer. Now, 373 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 5: how how how deep is that buffer? I think that 374 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 5: will be debated, right, it could be you know, it 375 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 5: could be something like a half a mile, a third 376 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 5: of a mile, but that'll be worked out. 377 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: Well. 378 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 2: If you're Dana, You've done a terrific job providing reports 379 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 2: to us for the last two years, and I know 380 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 2: you'll continue to do so as we go down this process, 381 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 2: because it's still not going to be easy. So thank 382 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 2: you very much for spending time in coming on with us, 383 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 2: because I know you're very busy and you're pretty tight 384 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 2: on time now, so we'll talk to you again soon. 385 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 2: Jordana Miller, thanks, ABC News correspondent based in Jerusalem. And 386 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 2: Trump actually pulled it off. He ended the war between 387 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 2: Israel and Hamas, and Israel is starting to pull out 388 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 2: of Gaza. Everybody's dancing in the streets in both countries, 389 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 2: and you know, with the backdrop of here in California, 390 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 2: Newsome taking away the People's Redistricting Commission because he's angry 391 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 2: with Trump and he needs some issues to make himself 392 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: more popular with the Democratic Party and make him a 393 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 2: more viable candidate. But can you imagine Gavin Newsoen pulling 394 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 2: this off? Can you imagine Gavin Newsom ending the Israeli 395 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 2: hamas War. No, it's impossible. And that's that's the difference 396 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 2: here between having a strong, decisive leader and a guy 397 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 2: who is just a is just like a school kid. 398 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 2: He's an ankle biter. And what what he has done 399 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: to this state and even more so recently now to 400 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 2: try to build his progressive profile is chess criminal. I 401 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 2: want to talk more about that coming up and harken 402 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 2: back to the to the Schwarzenegger segments that we had, 403 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 2: because here we go. Is Newsome going to come out 404 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 2: with a snarky comment on X after Trump settled this war? 405 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 2: Has he got anything? What did he do with his 406 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 2: day today? Huh? All I know is I still paid 407 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 2: five dollars for a gallon of gas? What did he do? 408 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 2: And all I know is there's too many people in 409 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 2: the state who are willing to give up their right 410 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 2: to have the congressional districts drawn independently and they're going 411 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 2: to give it away to Gavin Newsom and his buddies. 412 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 2: And that is so stupid and so wrong. And you'll 413 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 2: see coming up, all right, but uh, you know, if 414 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 2: you if you see anybody not giving Trump credit for 415 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 2: what happened, then they're just not a serious person, then 416 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 2: they're just they're just some partisan whack job hack. We'll 417 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 2: talk more about the Schwarzenegger conversation coming up. Is he 418 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 2: going to take my job? John? Oh? Well, yes, that 419 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 2: was that was hidden in the first half. Found all right, 420 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 2: we should we should talk more about this. But uh, 421 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 2: I'm going on vacation soon. Well, I'm taking the listeners 422 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 2: to Iceland. Uh, from that trip that we sponsored earlier 423 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 2: this year.

Oh yeah, all right, 431 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 2: we do. 432 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty. 433 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four o'clock. After 434 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 2: four o'clock, John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app, 435 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 2: and you can hear what you missed. It's the same 436 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 2: as the radio show, and what you've missed if you're 437 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 2: just joining us, is first half hour. We had former 438 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 2: governor or Arnold Schwarzeninger on the show, and I want 439 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 2: to tell you what we talked about an overview and 440 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 2: then you can listen to it later on the podcast 441 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 2: in case you missed it. But Kevin Newsom has been 442 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 2: running California now for seven years, which is the same 443 00:26:54,560 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 2: amount of time that Schwartzeninger ray California. And if I 444 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 2: remember correctly, around the end of Schwarzenegger's last year, the 445 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 2: budget was about one hundred billion dollars, give or take. 446 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: Now it's over three hundred billion dollars. Jerry Brown and 447 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, and especially Newsom has tripled the budget and 448 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 2: he's done so much damage to the state. Now he 449 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 2: wants to run for president and in order to polish 450 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 2: up his resume for the far left wing progressive voters 451 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 2: who lust for this sort of thing, he is taking 452 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 2: away or he's financing a campaign to take away our 453 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 2: independent redistricting commission, which on the face of it makes 454 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 2: no sense. Why would you give up an independent redistricting 455 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 2: commission and turn the power to draw congressional districts in 456 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 2: this state over to Gavin Newsom's buddies, all his progressive buddies, 457 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 2: would now be in charge of drawing the lines, and 458 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 2: the lines that they have proposed for this proposition leaves 459 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 2: only four Republican seats out of fifty two, seven percent 460 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 2: of the seats, seven percent now Republicans. Forty percent of 461 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 2: the state votes for Republicans in Congress, and so that 462 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 2: forty percent is going to get seven percent representation. Now, 463 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 2: on its face, that is wildly unfair and wrong. I 464 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 2: don't care what your political belief system is. We're all 465 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 2: supposed to get a say in this, So spare me 466 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 2: the sanctimonious garbage about protecting democracy. And I wis Schwartzeker. 467 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 2: I don't believe it's temporary. It's like the temporary homeless 468 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 2: tax here in LA that suddenly got extended and doubled. 469 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 2: And if you hear the interview, he goes through a 470 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 2: list of what's going on right this minute. We don't 471 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 2: have to go through a retrospective of seven years. Let's 472 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 2: go right this minute. We have the highest housing costs, 473 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 2: the highest rentals, the highest number of homeless. We've got 474 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 2: twenty four billion dollars in homeless money missing, which he 475 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 2: couldn't believe because he was governor. I'm sure he's thinking, 476 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 2: how news do that? How new some lose twenty four 477 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:41,479 Speaker 2: billion and nobody can find it. 478 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: How do you do that. 479 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 2: Unless it's a massive criminal operation, that's impossible. It's like 480 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 2: the seventeen billion stolen from high speed rout how do 481 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: you do that? Or the thirty plus billion stolen from 482 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: the unb find how do you do that?

He also talked about 485 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 2: how we have the highest gas prices in the state, 486 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 2: the highest electricity prices in the state, and who's this 487 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 2: fall on. This falls on to all the poor and 488 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 2: middle class people, all the working classes. 489 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 6: That's the last thing I asked him, is said, why 490 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 6: why are people voting like this? This is crazy, This 491 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 6: is suicidal to their own lives. Some of it recently 492 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 6: is this insane fury about Trump. 493 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 2: And it's gotten to the point now where you've got 494 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 2: a little over half the state willing to give away 495 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 2: the independent Redistricting Commission, give away the people's right to 496 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 2: have independent analysts draw the lines so that Newsom's buddies 497 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 2: can draw the lines because you're bad at Trump. That's nuts. 498 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 2: Trump's gone in three years and you're gonna be stuck 499 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 2: with these progressive whack jobs drawing the lines. It's not 500 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 2: gonna be temporary. Don't be a fool and believe that 501 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 2: this fury they've jim ginned up is stupid.
