If that holds. 11 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 2: Among the beneficiaries will be some of the legislators who 12 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 2: voted for this, who pushed it through because some of 13 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 2: them are turned out and part of Prop fifty has 14 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 2: created cushy landing spots for them. 15 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 1: They're going to become congressman. 16 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: They're going to have safe seats already waiting for them. 17 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 2: And to crawl demile the assemblement from San Diego. The 18 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 2: Republican is coming on here about this, Carl, how are you? 19 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 3: We're working hard, you know, we're collecting signatures on the 20 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 3: California Voter ID initiative, and we're trying to do a 21 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 3: Hail Mary pass here. 22 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 4: John. 23 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 3: We still believe that it is possible to defeat Prop fifty, 24 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: but the professional political consultants in the Republican Party have 25 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 3: once again betrayed us and failed us with a crappy 26 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 3: campaign with bad ads, with less than effective campaigning approaches. 27 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 3: And so it's up to us neighbors telling neighbors, friends 28 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: telling friends, spreading the word. Viral marketing can move the needle, 29 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: particularly in a low turnout election like a special election. 30 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 3: And there are millions of Republicans in the state that 31 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 3: have not yet voted, and so I'm encouraging them to 32 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 3: return their ballots, walk them into the polls. Do not 33 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 3: wait till election day. I need to go out to 34 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 3: the polls today through Monday night. Get that vote in 35 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: before election day so that you can secure your vote, 36 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 3: make sure it's counted. But we're working really hard in 37 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 3: these final days. 38 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Republican Party doesn't seem interested in fighting this battle. 39 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 5: No. 40 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 3: What they've done is they've drifted off of money that 41 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 3: was made available to them, and I am furious about it, 42 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 3: and I'm sick and tired of us. Basically, rewarding failure. 43 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 3: And my message to the big donors is this, you 44 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: would not tolerate being defrauded in your business world. Why 45 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 3: in the hell are you allowing these political consultants in 46 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 3: California Republican Party to defraud you time and time again, 47 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 3: and so stop giving them money and demand accountability. I 48 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 3: think that grassroots will be the future of California's comeback, 49 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 3: and that's why that's what we're focusing on, and we're 50 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 3: proud at Reform California. We don't hire consultants, we don't 51 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,399 Speaker 3: hire fundraisers. Every single penny that we raise goes right 52 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: into the fight. And we have an army of seventeen 53 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 3: thousand volunteers right now in the streets campaigning against Prop 54 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 3: fifty while they're collecting signatures on the California Voter ID initiative. 55 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: And after Tuesday, we're going to have a get together 56 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 3: and we're going to decide whether we are going to 57 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 3: pursue the companion measure to California Voter ID, which would 58 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 3: ban any legislator who voted for Prop fifty from serving 59 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 3: an office, because that is a penalty currently applied to 60 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 3: the Redistricting Commission. So my view is, if it was 61 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 3: already applied to the Redistricting Commission, why should we not 62 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 3: apply it to the politicians. If they're going to get 63 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 3: involved with redistricting, then they should have the same sort 64 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 3: of time out cooling off period that the redistricting Commission 65 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 3: would be required to have. 66 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: So what we have here now, some of the people, 67 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: some of the representatives in the legislature who pushed this 68 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: redistricting Prop fifty idea, they had landing spots waiting for them. 69 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: If this goes through. 70 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: They have seats carved out, and so as they get 71 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: turned out in the next election cycle, they'll have a 72 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: place to run and it's a safe seat they're going 73 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: to win almost automatically. 74 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 3: Correct. And remember, it wasn't just that it happened. They 75 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 3: explicitly get a quid pro quoll deal behind closed doors. 76 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 3: They traded their votes. If the worst kept secret in 77 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 3: Sacramento that people like Robert Reeves and Mike Laguier and 78 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 3: Jazzminte fain, they traded their support for this initiative in 79 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 3: exchange for a custom drawnze seat for Congress for them. 80 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 3: And this is why we got rid of jerry mandering 81 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 3: in the first place. This is what voters correctly were 82 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 3: formed in twenty ten when they created their districting Commission 83 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 3: and had citizens take the power. But now if this 84 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 3: pass is the politicians have gable to manipulate the lines, 85 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 3: which means that we will not be able to hold 86 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 3: them accountable for their fail on issues that do impact us, 87 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 3: like the high cost of living, homelessness, crime, job losses, 88 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 3: bad schools. Politicians will laugh at us, whether you're a 89 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 3: Democrat or an Independent or a Republican. I have to 90 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 3: laugh at the at the Democrats voting for Prop. Fifty. 91 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 3: What you're literally doing is eliminating your voice as much 92 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 3: as you're eliminating the Republican voices, because these Democrats will say, 93 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 3: once I get past the primary, you're stuck with me. 94 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 6: Man. 95 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: You know you've got to vote for me because it's 96 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 3: a Democrat seat now and I'm going to win. 97 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: People's brains have shorted out over their obsession with Donald Trump. Absolutely, 98 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: they they're no longer they no longer are thinking. They're 99 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: just to overcome with rage and emotion because of Trump. 100 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 3: And this is where the politicians are able to manipulate 101 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 3: people to do something that's actually not in their interest. 102 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 3: They play the shiny object game. They use to see, 103 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 3: they use emotion, they lie, and that's what we've seen. 104 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 3: A Prop fifty has been propelled by lives and hatred 105 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: and emotion and manipulation. And you know what's going to 106 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 3: happen is going to be a grave damaging blow to 107 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 3: our democracy. The same people who say, well, I don't 108 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 3: like Trump because he's a threat to democracy, take a 109 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 3: look at what you're doing with Prop fifty. If you 110 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: vote yes, you're silencing millions of voters. You're shaying that 111 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 3: they don't deserve they don't deserve a seat at the table, 112 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 3: they don't deserve a voice. And worse, you're giving a 113 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 3: pass to politicians who hurt you. I mean, anyone who 114 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 3: lives in the palisades. You should be voting no on 115 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 3: Prop fifty because these politicians, they don't need to rebuild 116 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: your homes now. They literally can, you know, continue to 117 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 3: drag things out knowing that no one can actually challenge 118 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 3: them for their seat because they can continue to just 119 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: manipulate the lines of these districts. 120 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 2: All right, So you've got to propose ballot initiative. It 121 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 2: would keep them from holding these offices for five to 122 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 2: ten years. 123 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 3: Correct by that one way. I'm not being vindictive. I'm 124 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 3: not being petty. This is already in the state constitution 125 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 3: and it applies to the redistricting commissioners. And so my 126 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 3: view is, okay, fine, if the politicians want to get 127 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 3: in the game of redistricting, what's good for the goose 128 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 3: is good for the gander. Politicians should not get a 129 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 3: double standard. They shouldn't get special exemptions. So if it 130 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 3: was applied to the redistricting commission, it should be applied 131 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 3: to these legislators who just put together these maps and 132 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: put them on the ballot. They're engaging in redistricting, so 133 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: they should have the same sort of cooling off period 134 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: that the redistricting commissioners have to abide by. 135 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 2: All Right, Carl good talking with you, Carl Demail, thank 136 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: you the Assemblyman. We will come back. We got a 137 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: lot to play you from a newsom's interview with Jonathan 138 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 2: Carl from ABC News. 139 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 140 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 7: six forty. 141 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 2: All right, let's get down of this this newsome appearance 142 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: with ABC News reporter Jonathan Carl. I guess they ran 143 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 2: short clips on their newscasts on TV, and then they 144 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: had a twenty six minute edited excerpt online which Eric 145 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 2: and I spent some time watching this morning, and just 146 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: before I play the first one. If I was going 147 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: to interview Gavin Newsom, if you ever get a chance 148 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: to interview Gavin Newsom, here's some things maybe you could 149 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 2: ask about. We've got the most homeless in the country. 150 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: We have the highest gas tax, the highest sales tax, 151 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 2: the highest income tax. Our inflation is twenty percent higher 152 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 2: than the rest of the country, the highest welfare rates, 153 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 2: the highest number of illegal aliens, the most people on Medicaid, 154 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 2: the highest poverty rate. We have the highest home cost, 155 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 2: the highest rent cost, the highest cost of living, highest 156 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: electricity prices, worst business climate, one of the worst school performances. 157 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 2: We have lost seventeen billion dollars on high speed rail, 158 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 2: thirty billion dollars on unemployment fraud, twenty four billion dollars 159 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: on homeless money that disappeared. I ripped off eighteen off 160 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: the top of my head, just scribbled it down during 161 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 2: a commercial break. None of that was covered in the 162 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: Jonathan Carl interview. Everything was about Trump. Trump has nothing 163 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 2: to do with all these issues that are causing us 164 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: so much pain has made living here such a struggle. 165 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 2: All of them are caused by local and state government 166 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 2: Fast and Newsome. For people in LA. Most of this 167 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 2: is Newsome and Jerry Brown. None of this has to 168 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: do anything to do with Trump. Got him, especially my 169 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: head against the wall. Trump Trump, Tump, tump tump, and 170 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 2: then people's minds go haywire, and now they're given away. 171 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 2: They're giving away the rights to the redistricting process. You're 172 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 2: giving away your own rights. You're such a dumb ass 173 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 2: to have an independent redistricting paddle. 174 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: And listen. 175 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: You know, Jonathan Carl might as well have tried to 176 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: open Gavin Newsom's end and stuck his head inside, or 177 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: maybe he should have crawled inside entirely because none of 178 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: this stuff was covered because he's there, because Newsom's presenting 179 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: himself as the alternative. He's he's the Democratic leader. So 180 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,599 Speaker 2: let me play you the first cut here new some 181 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 2: get this one. This is rich. Newsom is now claiming 182 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 2: that he was trying to wake up the Biden administration 183 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 2: about the border. Play cut number five. 184 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 8: Say that failures hulay the ground with of course, I 185 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 8: mean the border. 186 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 9: Yes and no, Well, the border was a mistake. Look, 187 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 9: I was very critical. As you know, I had the 188 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 9: biggest border stay of Western hemisphere, California, put a bit 189 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 9: in almost a billion four into migrant facilities in three 190 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 9: major counties in California, put a lid on things. As 191 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 9: I was working with the bid administration, said you need 192 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 9: to wake up to what's going on. It was a 193 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 9: point of real friction, not just with me, but all 194 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 9: democratic governors, not just border state governors. But as you 195 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 9: saw folks in Colorado, in Illinois and New York and elsewhere, 196 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 9: we're expressing that frustration. I think we took the wrong 197 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 9: lessons from the midterm where we overperformed, and that was 198 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 9: a tactical mistake, but it's also wrong period. 199 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 2: On policy, he laid out the welcome met for legal aliens. 200 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 2: He gave them cradle to grave healthcare. He gave away 201 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 2: free healthcare for every illegal alien, whether you were a 202 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 2: little baby or one hundred and five years old, every 203 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: illegal alien gets taxpayer paid healthcare in California. And he 204 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 2: said he was warning Biden at this open border thing 205 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 2: was out of control. 206 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: Well, why do you think they can over the border. 207 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: You make it to. 208 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 2: California, you get free healthcare for the rest of your life, 209 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: for yourself. 210 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: And your whole family. 211 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 2: Jonathan Carl from ABC News didn't know it, didn't think 212 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 2: about it. 213 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: That's atrocious. 214 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: He's actually acting like he was the hero hero trying 215 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 2: to warn Joe Biden about the border. 216 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: Newsom did everything he could to make this a magnet 217 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: for illegal alience. 218 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 2: Let's play you this clip asking Newsom about the recall 219 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 2: of the San Francisco DA Remember that guy, what was 220 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: his name? I forgot his name? Chessa Boudin, Chessa Boudin. 221 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 2: And now Newsom said, uh supported the recall. 222 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: Listen to this. 223 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 8: San Francisco had become a symbol of the failure of 224 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 8: liberal democratic policy. 225 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 9: Because it was exploited and colored in. It's part of 226 00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 9: the California derangement syndrome. 227 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 8: Is there anything to that? 228 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 5: I know? 229 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 2: Wait, wait, stopped right there. It's the California derangement syndrome. 230 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 2: See how what he's doing. He's copying the Trump derangement 231 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 2: syndrome that a lot of his people have, which he 232 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: knows exists. And that's why he's pushing Prop fifty by 233 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 2: using that tactic. 234 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: In the ads. California to arrangement syndrome. 235 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 2: In other words, San Francisco wasn't this disgusting hell hole. 236 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 2: I guess people in San Franciscisco were imagining it. I 237 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 2: listened to the mayor of San Francisco today. He did 238 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: an interview on CNBC, Daniel Lourie. He's a businessman, and 239 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: he was describing how the tax base had cratered because 240 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 2: people didn't feel safe. That the downtown tax base was 241 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: normally sixty percent of revenue and it dropped to forty 242 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 2: percent because all the businesses closed because nobody would shop 243 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 2: there anymore, nobody would work there anymore. The mayor, the 244 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 2: mayor of San Francisco, was on CNBC explaining all this 245 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 2: what he's doing to end all the homelessness in the 246 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 2: street and push out the crime and get businesses and 247 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 2: tourists and residents back. Meantime, Newsom is claiming that if 248 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 2: you have that criticism of San Francisco, you have California 249 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 2: arrangement syndrome. Well, I guess Daniel Lurie, the San Francisco mayor, 250 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: has that too. Of course, I saw this with my 251 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: own eyes because my son went up to the school 252 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 2: in San Francisco for a couple of years. So I 253 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 2: saw things I'd never seen before in any city all 254 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 2: my life. 255 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: Play somewhere of. 256 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 8: This anything to that. I know it's been exploited. I know, 257 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 8: you talk about California's arrangement system, Fox News constant, you know, 258 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 8: the every time there's a smashing gratus. 259 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 10: But but I mean, the voters in this city recalled 260 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 10: a day because which I supported, because because the feeling 261 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 10: was that we had policies, there were policies in the 262 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 10: city that were that were soft time crime. 263 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 9: That's right, that's correct, and we supported that recall. We've 264 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 9: got a great DA now, so. 265 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 8: I'm asking what lessons you can lessons. 266 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 9: Learn is you've got to own your responsibilities in real time. 267 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 9: And that's exactly what folks here reconciled and had to 268 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 9: reconcile after those recalls. Wasn't just the DA, it was 269 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 9: the school board as well, where they went off the 270 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 9: deep end and they started changing the names of Dianne 271 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 9: Feinstein elementary or middle school, wanted to get rid of 272 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 9: Washington and I mean it was absurd, takes the nonsense. 273 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 9: I mean, it was actually like way off the debit. 274 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 9: But they got recalled and there was accountability stop. 275 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 2: So that's he's incredibly slick. He said nothing about chessabod 276 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: is San Francisco, DA. He said nothing about the recall 277 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 2: of school board members. He just called that kind of 278 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 2: behavior where Bodein was criticized for the soft done crime 279 00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 2: laws California arrangement syndrome. So on one side of his mouth, 280 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: that kind of criticism is California derangement syndrome. Out of 281 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 2: the other side of his mouth, he supported the recall 282 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: of Chess of Bodine because of that criticism. Same thing 283 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 2: with the school board. He never criticized anything that the 284 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: school board did when they were changing the name of schools. Well, 285 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 2: he's so pathful, and Jonathan Carl's going up, up, up, 286 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 2: But all right, we'll do more on this we come back. 287 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM 288 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 7: six forty. 289 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: On every day from one and to four the after 290 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 2: four o'clock John Cobelt's show on Demand. Now, we played 291 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 2: you some Gavin Newsom clips he was on with with 292 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 2: Jonathan Carl and ABC News reporter. There's short segments on TV, 293 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 2: there's a long segment online. But I'm telling you these 294 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 2: network reporters are just awful. They're a bombinas. I read 295 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 2: you like eighteen major California failures here in this state 296 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 2: the Gavin Newsom is connected to and there's no questions 297 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: about that in the interview, but. 298 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: It's all about Trump. 299 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 2: He does ask about the recall the San Francisco DA 300 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 2: a few years ago Chessa Boudin, because some of these 301 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 2: questions are why the Democrats are looked on so poorly 302 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 2: by much of the public. And I'll play you this 303 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 2: clip again. Newsom comes right out and said he supported 304 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 2: the recall of Chesaboudine. 305 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: If you could play cut six again. 306 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 8: San Francisco had become a symbol of the failure of 307 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 8: liberal democratic policy. 308 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 9: Because it was exploited and colored in. It's part of 309 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 9: the Californian derangement syndrome. 310 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 8: But is there anything to that. I know it's been exploited. 311 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 8: I know you talk about California's arrangement system Fox News constant, 312 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 8: you know the very time there's a smashing gratus. 313 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 10: But I mean the orders in this city recalled a DA. Yeah, 314 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 10: because I supported because. 315 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 8: The feeling was that we had policies, there were policies 316 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 8: in the city that were that were soft on crime. 317 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 9: That's right, that's correct, and we supported that recall. We've 318 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 9: got a great DA. 319 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 2: Now stop stop stop, we supported that recall. Right, oh 320 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 2: that's right, that's correct. Yeah, yeah, we supported the recall. 321 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: He's lying. 322 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 2: I went to GROC artificial intelligence, which can scan a 323 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 2: million news stories very quickly and answer your question. My 324 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 2: question was, did Gavin Newsom support the recall of CHESSA Bodeine. 325 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 2: The answer no, Gavin Newsom did not support the recall 326 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 2: of Chess of Bodine. As California's governor and a fellow Democrat, 327 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 2: Newsom remained neutral on the twenty twenty recall effort against 328 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 2: San Francisco's progressive district attorney, even though he had appointed 329 00:18:55,119 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 2: Boudin in twenty nineteen and shared similar reform oriented views 330 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 2: on criminal justice. There is nothing that CHESSA Boudin did 331 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 2: that Gavin Newsom didn't believe it. 332 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: But because Jonathan. 333 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 2: Carl had his head up Newsom's rear end, he didn't 334 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: have the presence of mind to say, wait a second. 335 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: You appointed Boudin, you gave him a start. 336 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 6: And. 337 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 1: What is it he did that you disagreed with? 338 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 2: You supported the recall of chessa Boudin total lie, and 339 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 2: Carl doesn't Jonathan.

Ian Brenner said in his bog 358 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 9: the other day. Ian's not prone to hyperbole. It's a 359 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 9: revolution that's going on in this country, and I think 360 00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 9: you have to start using those words. 361 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 5: He's attacking every single institution of independent thinking, and he's 362 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 5: succeeding because we're still playing by the old set of rules. 363 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 5: And so my party needs to focus first and foremost 364 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 5: on recognizing that, and then we'll reconcile be more culturally normal, 365 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 5: more reform oriented, talk about service and patriotism, and will continue. 366 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 9: To build on the legacy. I would argue of our 367 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 9: former president who I think was one of the most 368 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 9: successful presidents in the last century. 369 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: And that is Joe Biden. 370 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 9: And I will defend that to my grave, in terms 371 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 9: of the Chips and Science Act, the infrastructure built, the 372 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 9: work he did on the IRA, the fact that he 373 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,479 Speaker 9: had a worker centered industrial policy, and the fact that 374 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 9: those are the right policies for this country. 375 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 8: They're all getting on done right, I mean a lot. 376 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 9: Of them, and well many aspects are being celebrated by 377 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 9: the Trump administration, as is. 378 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. 379 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 2: One of the most successful presidents of the last century. 380 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,160 Speaker 1: He'll go to his grave. 381 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 2: Clearly, insane, clearly, and he insisted that Joe Biden showed 382 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:15,959 Speaker 2: no signs of decline. It was just I guess, why 383 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 2: why did he drop out? Why was he losing so 384 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 2: badly in the polls when he dropped out. 385 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: What was it? 386 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 2: He insisted the night of the debate that Biden uh 387 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 2: did fine.

And then 393 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 2: there was the nine percent inflation. That was the other 394 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 2: main reason. How was that great? That have nine percent inflation? 395 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 2: And let h you know, ten million illegal aliens in 396 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 2: boh I thought the border was to open as well. 397 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: And I was behind the chessboarding recal.

Wasn't 429 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,239 Speaker 6: his refusal to recognize his own trailties the reason that 430 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 6: you faced a nearly impossible task. 431 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 4: I ran against Donald Trump for president, and Donald Trump 432 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:38,719 Speaker 4: ran on a platform that was, in large part, I believe, 433 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 4: misrepresenting his intentions to the American people. I do believe 434 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 4: that there are a fair number of people that voted 435 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 4: for Donald Trump who believed him when he told them 436 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 4: that his first priority on day one is going to 437 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 4: be to bring down prices, and he didn't. And you 438 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 4: combine that misrepresentation of an tangen with also what was 439 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 4: that play in terms of massive amounts of misinteristine for me. 440 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 11: Now forgive me, I wanted a calendar in terms. 441 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 6: Of yes, the clerk, I want to interrupt you because 442 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 6: that is a world class pivot. But it is not 443 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 6: the question that I asked you, which is about Joe 444 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 6: Biden's failure to recognize his own frailties and what that 445 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,959 Speaker 6: did to you. The question is about Joe Biden. Are 446 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 6: you still reluctant to criticize the former. 447 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 11: President in what regard? 448 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 3: Please? 449 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 6: Well, just in terms of that question, So you went. 450 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 4: Exactly would you like to ask be more specific if 451 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 4: you don't mind. 452 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 6: Was it Joe Biden's decision, his failure to recognize his 453 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 6: own frailties in that position that put you in the 454 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 6: position that made it almost impossible to win that race. 455 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 11: He was not frail as president of the United States, but. 456 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 6: He had frailties. 457 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 11: We all saw the debate. 458 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 4: I do believe that Joe Biden had the capacity to 459 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 4: be president of the United States, and I have never 460 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 4: doubted that he had the capacity to be president of 461 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 4: the United States. 462 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 11: If you want to talk about. 463 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 4: Whether he had the ability to endure what a race 464 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 4: or president of the United States would require in that 465 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 4: political environment in twenty twenty four. As I've said in 466 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 4: the book, I had concerns. 467 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 6: I'm just wondering, is there a reason why you won't 468 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 6: go to that prolonged frailty question? No, we saw the debate, 469 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 6: we saw the difficulty he had marshaling his. 470 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 11: Thord answered that question, I do not believe that. 471 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 6: I think it's just hard watching the debate to see 472 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 6: how there could not be a problem long term with 473 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 6: someone who can't marshal their thoughts. I'm not saying he's 474 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 6: acuity wasn't present. 475 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 4: That in the book, and I also mentioned the context 476 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 4: in which that debate occurred. And you'll probably remember how 477 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 4: I talked about that in terms of what his travel 478 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 4: schedule had been, that what he had been enduring, in 479 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 4: terms of the timing of that debate. I can talk 480 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 4: about it extensively in the book. I'm not shying away 481 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 4: from she starts showing, so I do answer the question people. 482 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: Had, do you believe that? Do you believe that? I 483 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 1: love I love this? Reporter Sarah Ferguson. 484 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 2: Now Ferguson kept at it, and what you'll hear hear 485 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 2: is Kamala Harris. Eventually her handler is telling Ferguson, well, 486 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 2: that's going to be the last question. 487 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 6: I want to come back to the book and the 488 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 6: purpose of the book. So the last question, Yeah, well 489 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,479 Speaker 6: that's almost a first, not an absolute first, but to 490 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 6: have a member of staff of the former vice president 491 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 6: of the United States actually speak up during the interview 492 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 6: to say that we were going too long. I didn't 493 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 6: expect that, But coming back to the interview itself, it 494 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 6: seems to me, and it's very heart there is a 495 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 6: reluctance on the part of Kamala Harris to actually spell 496 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 6: out and talk about the issues that Joe Biden had 497 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 6: as president. Was it Joe Biden's decision, his failure to 498 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 6: recognize his own frailties in that position that put you 499 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 6: in the position that made it almost impossible to win 500 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 6: that race. 501 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 11: Not frail as president of the United States. 502 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 6: But he had frailties. 503 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 11: We all saw the debate. 504 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 6: I'm just wondering, is there a reason why you won't 505 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 6: go to that prolonged frailty question. Now we saw the debate, 506 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 6: we saw the difficulty he had marshaling his. 507 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 11: Thoughts answered that question. I do not believe. 508 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 6: I think it's just hard watching the debate to see 509 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 6: how there could not be a problem long term with 510 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 6: someone who can't marshal their thoughts. I'm not saying his acuity, 511 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 6: it's in the book, but it seems to me she 512 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 6: doesn't want to say it on camera. 513 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 11: I asked her that she denied it, but. 514 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 6: I think there is still a reluctance there to criticize 515 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 6: Joe Biden, which makes her current pivot a really difficult one. 516 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 6: Because she's Joe Biden's vice president. It seems she's still 517 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 6: not prepared to completely condemn him. But she's got to 518 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 6: be a character in her own right without Joe Biden attached, 519 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 6: in order to have a chance to run again. So 520 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 6: that before I came in, that was the heart of 521 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 6: the interview, and it turned out to be the heart 522 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 6: of the interview. 523 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the whole interview there. 524 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 11: I love this. 525 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: She called out that staffer. I love that. 526 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, And here in America, reporters get intimidated by those staffers. 527 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 11: I'd never be intimidated. I said, no, no, no, no, You're not. 528 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 4: The one that's gonna tell me when I'm gonna be 529 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 4: done and ask the last question. 530 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 2: I'm sorry if Kama wants to go, let her on 531 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 2: camera say I don't want to answer these questions anymore. 532 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: But enough with these staffords. What are you afraid of? 533 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: This is so good. That was a world class pivot. 534 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: I love that. 535 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 2: She is great and there's what I'm saying. Compare that 536 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 2: to this this slop that Jonathan carl is serving with 537 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom. Oh yeah yeah, We'll got more of him 538 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 2: to play too. Later on next hour, when we returned 539 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 2: though yesterday, Alex Stone came on to tell us how 540 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 2: the air traffic controllers are growing going hungry because of 541 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 2: the shutdown. 542 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: Uh, well, a lot of people are going to be 543 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: going hungry. 544 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 2: There's forty two million people who get food benefits, food stamps, 545 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 2: snap benefits, they're called. We are going to talk to 546 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 2: Alex about what's happening next because the money's running out 547 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 2: for that program.
