Now understand, this discussion 33 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 2: last night was before this new video came out, which 34 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 2: I think shows pretty conclusively that the ICE officer was 35 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: in front of the car and the driver, Renee Good, 36 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 2: accelerated forward, and that he clearly felt he was in danger. 37 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: Clearly this is self defense, and I think she hit 38 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 2: him from the sound of it. 39 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: But we'll see on that. Let's play clip number one. 40 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: He thinks he's gonna get hit, run over, sideswiped. Of 41 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: course he's gonna shoot. If I was in his position, 42 00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: I would shoot too. 43 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 5: Monnie been hit by a car in the past. How 44 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 5: does that impact this whole has no impact. 45 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 6: He still has the same level of responsibility. 46 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 3: And no, you don't just. 47 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 6: Get to shoot because you think that maybe the car is. 48 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 3: Coming towards you. 49 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: Yes, danger, No you don't. 50 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 6: Police officers and and ice officers have left. 51 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 3: You can try to shout over me. 52 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 7: But one of us has. 53 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 3: Actually litigated these cases. 54 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: The legal obligation to dligation to die. 55 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: They don't have to. 56 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 3: Step back, and he knows step back a. 57 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: Fraction of a fraction of second. Here you whole ten 58 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: minutes is like that. 59 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: Now, come on, if you're an officer and you think 60 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,399 Speaker 2: you're being run over by a car, of course you're 61 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 2: gonna shoot. You gotta jump out of the way, shoot 62 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: at the same time. 63 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: Of course. 64 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 2: I mean that's what I would do. They have wives 65 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: and kids too. They don't describe the ice officers being 66 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: a dad or a father in any of the headlines. 67 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: She's a mom, but he's not a father. Somebody's trying. 68 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: This is where we are, This is what I'm this 69 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: kind of insanity. You got that, lady. 70 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 2: We played the clip of a few minutes ago where 71 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: she feels embarrassed that she went to the memorial for 72 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 2: Renee Good. 73 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: And that she's. 74 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: Crying, but she feels guilty and white tears aren't going 75 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: to be helpful here, white tears. 76 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: I never heard that phrase before, white tears. 77 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: Now I'm being told that a cop has no right 78 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 2: to shoot if they're about to be run over. You know, 79 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: a four thousand pound car could be even more effective 80 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: than a bullet. Then we went on to whether California 81 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: is a blueprint for other states. This is the Gavin 82 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: news And claim from his State of the State speech 83 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: last night that things are going so well in California, 84 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: it's a blueprint for everyone else. 85 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 5: Like at three, John, do you think California is the 86 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 5: policy blueprint the country needs to go through? 87 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: The blueprint? 88 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: We have by far the most homeless in the country. 89 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 2: I think we have half of the unsheltered homeless twenty five. 90 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: We got the highest income taxes, highest sales taxes, highest 91 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 2: gas taxes. We're paying two bucks more than in Oklahoma 92 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 2: right now. We got the highest housing costs, highest rental costs. 93 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: I mean, I can go on for quite a while here. 94 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 2: So what's the blueprint. Everybody's going broke in this state. 95 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: We've got the highest unemployment rate, We've got the highest 96 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: inflation rate. 97 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: So what's what's the story here? 98 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 6: Well, actually, I think the economy is booming in California. 99 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 6: I have actually walked the entire length of California on 100 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 6: the Pacific Crest Trail, talk to people in big cities 101 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 6: and small towns, and I can tell you this is 102 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 6: a beautiful state. We do have high gas prices. Why 103 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 6: because we had used to have a lot of smog 104 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 6: in LA and a lot of the taxes go to 105 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 6: reduce the smog. 106 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 3: We very rarely have that anymore. We encourage electrics. 107 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: A lot of double warming. That whole stand beyond. 108 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 3: Scientists agree that we. 109 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: All experience more than. 110 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 3: Fifty the electric car. 111 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: I want to drive my SUV and I shouldn't have 112 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: to pay that. Where's the where's the money going? 113 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 2: It's like it's it's like the twenty four billion that 114 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: disappeared for homeless. 115 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: Tell you there's there's. 116 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: Tens of billions of dollars have disappeared into these climates. 117 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 6: Why does everybody come here because the state is gorgeous, 118 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 6: because it is efficient. 119 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 3: Do we have problems? 120 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 2: Spare row you all says California is the number one 121 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: state for people. 122 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 5: Fact California lately there's yeah, some people need to leap. 123 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you do? That's tough. 124 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 2: The gas taxes are not to reduce smog. Smog was 125 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 2: reduced thirty years ago. All these extra taxes are for 126 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: the global warming climate change scam. 127 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 4: John, what go and get an electric vehicle like she has. 128 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 2: That's the answer, Yes, go get an electric vehicle and 129 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: maybe she can give me a tour of all the 130 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: electric charging stations that don't exist. 131 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 4: But that is interesting that she's disputing that you Haul 132 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,559 Speaker 4: study because that was a big news story that Michael 133 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 4: Munks did true. 134 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: And it's because Newsom gives a speech claiming that everything's 135 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 2: rosy and golden and the facts prove otherwise. 136 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: And it wasn't a Fluke survey. It's the sixth year 137 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: in a row. 138 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: I mean, U Haul's basically adding up two things, trucks 139 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: leaving California and trucks entering California. So it's not a 140 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 2: complicated analysis that they have to do. 141 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 4: And people are here because of the weather. I mean, 142 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 4: it is so expensive to live here with all the taxes. 143 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 4: I mean, I hear people talking about it all the time. 144 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 4: I mean I've told you my son and his fiance, 145 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 4: they live on the East Coast. They would love to 146 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 4: come back to California because family is here. They can't 147 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 4: afford it. 148 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, same thing with my sons too. A lot of 149 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 2: parents I know friends, their kids are all gone and 150 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: they can't come here and buy a house because a 151 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 2: lot of us have children old enough to buy a home. 152 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: At least they would have in another generation. Now with 153 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: a median price house in La County is. 154 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 4: A million bucks, right, and it's a crappy house. 155 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that that's some you know rundown shack out 156 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: in the valley somewhere. Hey, I wasn't talking about your 157 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 2: rundown and she certainly doesn't have that problem. 158 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 4: The gas price is john gas price crime, the homeless situation. 159 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: Newsome, I mean, I mean his. 160 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 2: State of State speech yesterday was really a campaign speech 161 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: to run against Trump. Has anybody told him Trump's not 162 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: going to be running in twenty twenty eight because he 163 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: acts like that's going to be his opponent on the 164 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 2: ballot and it's not.

I close my eyes and she's 245 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: doing her thing, and I'm thinking, you know, I feel 246 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: like a dead body getting embalmed. That's that's what I 247 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: felt like. This must be what happens after you're dead. 248 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 2: You're just lying there, you're not moving, your eyes are closed, 249 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: and somebody is slopping all kinds of goo on your 250 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 2: face to make. 251 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: You look better. 252 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 4: You can give it the wrong way, apparently I do. 253 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 254 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 8: six forty. 255 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: You got time tonight this weekend. 256 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 2: You could go to YouTube and see my wife's podcast, 257 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 2: Never Cobet Live. I'm the guest Never Cobet Live. I'm 258 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 2: the guest on YouTube and audio on the iHeart Radio app, 259 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 2: because everything's on the iHeart Radio app. All right, you 260 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 2: just finished playing My Parents on CNN last night with 261 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: Alex Michaelson Lisa Bloom and you may have heard we 262 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: discussed whether California is the blueprint for other states. And 263 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 2: let me play that whole excerpt. It's not about twenty seconds. 264 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 2: This is stated state speech. Newsom says we are a 265 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 2: beacon of blueprint. 266 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: But in California, we're not silent. You're not silent, you're 267 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 1: not hungry down, We're not retreating. 268 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 3: Or a beacon. 269 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 5: The state is providing a different narrative, an operational model, 270 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 5: a policy. 271 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: Blueprint for others to follow. The state. 272 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 5: This people, this experiment in democracy belongs not to the past, 273 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 5: but it belongs to the future. 274 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 2: So just to run down what I said on Alex's 275 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 2: show last night about this blueprint idea, we do have 276 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 2: the most homeless by far, and not just on a 277 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 2: numerical basis because we're the biggest state, but as a 278 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 2: percentage basis of all the homeless out here out in America. 279 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: And we do have the highest gas taxes, and let's 280 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 2: see the highest property, the highest sales taxes, highest income taxes, 281 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 2: highest gas taxes, the highest unemployment rate. In fact, they 282 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: released a new unemployment rate today. It's from September. Because 283 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: the government's behind on their calculations. We're at five point 284 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 2: six percent. Yes, nationally the rate is four point four 285 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 2: so we're much higher than the average across the country. 286 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: Is that part of the blueprint too? So we also 287 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 2: have the highest inflation rate in addition to the highest 288 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: unemployment rate. Imagine that there's fifty states. Only one can 289 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 2: have the worst inflation and only one can have the 290 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 2: worst unemployment rate, and we have both. Only one can 291 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 2: have the worst homeless rate. We've got that too. Only 292 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 2: one could be number one in sales, gas taxes. 293 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: Income taxes. We're number one across the board. There. 294 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 2: The number of unemployed rose for the sixth straight month. 295 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: But he just says things. 296 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 2: And it makes headlines and the left wing progressives in 297 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 2: the media regurgitate it. They really do public relations. They're 298 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 2: the press office for the governor. You know how many 299 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: people were unemployed as of September a million, one hundred 300 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 2: six thousand. There's a million people out there. These are 301 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 2: people who want to work. You only get count as 302 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 2: unemployed if you're looking for work. A million, one hundred 303 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 2: six thousand. That was eleven thousand more than the previous month, 304 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: thirty thousand more at the same time the previous year, 305 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 2: and like I said, six straight months of increases. The 306 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 2: total number of Californians employed, it was eighteen million, seven 307 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand. That's a loss of sixty five 308 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: hundred workers. 309 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's. 310 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 2: A disaster, worst schools, worst roads. You had a story today, Uh, Deborah, 311 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 2: didn't you that in La we've actually had fewer fire engines, yes. 312 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 4: Than ambulances than last year during the fire. 313 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: How could that be? 314 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 2: How is it after the fire happened and we saw 315 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: all the reasons. 316 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: That there's fewer fire engines, fewer ambulances. What is going on? 317 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: Are they trying to kill us? Maybe that'll be the 318 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 2: title of the next rally. Spencer Pratt's rally was they 319 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 2: let us burn. The next one should say, they're trying 320 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 2: to kill us? Why don't we just negotiate the terms 321 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 2: of our demise? Here if you really want us all out, 322 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 2: just let us know there are better places to go. 323 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 2: But you don't have to kill us with a fire 324 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: that you refuse to put out. You refuse to even 325 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 2: buy fire trucks, and you will buy ambulances. Los Angeles 326 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 2: the motto as your entering should just say, hey, go 327 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 2: and die, don't call us. 328 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: Just lay there and die, lay there and burned to death. 329 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: I could not believe that that is the last I 330 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: would have thought. I don't know. I guess I'm crazy too. 331 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: I would have thought it's like, okay, after that, they're 332 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: going to rejigger the budget and they're going to at 333 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 2: least repair the existing trucks. A lot of them are 334 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 2: still broken.

Newsom doesn't care. 343 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 2: Newsom was still running around saying that he pre deployed 344 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 2: an incredible number of fire engines and personnel before the fire. 345 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 2: He didn't deploy anything, literally zero, And he keeps pushing 346 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 2: the lie. 347 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: He did it again the other day. 348 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 2: He goes on national television and he'll say, just about anything. 349 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 2: What is the investment that media people in this state 350 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 2: and across the country have in him? 351 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: Oh?

We 380 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 2: were talking about Newsom's State of the State speech, which 381 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 2: is mostly a campaign speech. He doesn't give a crap 382 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 2: what's going on here anymore, and he was wailing on 383 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 2: Trump the whole time. And oh, coming up next segment. 384 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 2: I just wanted to lart Debra. I've got a story 385 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 2: and I'll be honest about this it's a fast food story. 386 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 2: And if true, and if all fast food was made 387 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 2: like this, I would become a vegan. Really, yes, I'll 388 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 2: tell you about it next, remind me. So don't forget. 389 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 2: I got like one hundred things. 390 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 4: Sometime I'll remind you for sure. 391 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: That's quite the teas Okay, all right, Anyway, I was 392 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 2: talking about Newsoms things. So he's doing this with a 393 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 2: big anti Trump rampage and then claiming that new that 394 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: California is actually pretty much the center of the universe 395 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: and it's entirely predicated on having, you know, the fourth 396 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 2: biggest economy. It's because the Silicon Valley industry, which really 397 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 2: got going in the nineteen seventies, over fifty years has 398 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 2: been the industry that has radically transformed the world. 399 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of. 400 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 2: Very wealthy people connected to the industry, and they're all 401 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 2: having a good life, like where Gavin Newsom lives. Got 402 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 2: a nine million dollar house in Marine County and these 403 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 2: are his spreads and neighbors. This is his lifestyle. So 404 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 2: life is good for them. Now the rest of us. 405 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: Not so good. 406 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 2: But he talks about, well, he talks about California being 407 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 2: so rich and wealthy in all the successful business he's 408 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: talking about Silicon Valley. Katie Grimes California Globe, californiaglobe dot com. 409 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 2: She wrote a piece today and I like reading Katie 410 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 2: because she sees what I see and so I feel 411 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 2: less insane. And the headline is Gavin Newsom's fairytale State 412 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: of the State address. Now points out that he hasn't 413 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 2: delivered a State of the state in person since twenty twenty. 414 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 2: Why now, Well, he's running for president, so first thing 415 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 2: he has to do is rewrite the history of California. 416 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 2: And she writes that Newsom claims California leads the nation, 417 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 2: as if it's his leadership running the country. But California 418 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 2: does lead the nation, she writes in poverty, Oh my god, 419 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 2: I didn't even touch on that. Yeah, we got the 420 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 2: most highest percentage of people in poverty in the country. 421 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 2: We have the most people on welfare percentage, most people 422 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 2: percentage on Medicare and Medicaid, and of course then there's 423 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 2: the illegal aliens, right, she says, California does leave the 424 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 2: nation in poverty. Gas prices, energy prices, Yeah, we have 425 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 2: double the electricity prices compared to the national average, double homelessness, 426 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 2: housing prices, unemployment, out migration, failing k through twelve students, 427 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 2: wildfire damage and state debt, highest taxes, most draconian regulations, 428 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: highest electricity, highest gas prices. So she went she took 429 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 2: Newsome's education claims to a woman named to a guy 430 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 2: named Lance Azumi, senior education director of the Pacific Research Institute. Now, 431 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 2: Newsom had claimed in his speech that California has seen 432 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 2: improved academic achievement in every area of the California public 433 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 2: educational system. He just says that flatly improvement in every area. 434 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 2: So Katie took this over to the director of Lance. 435 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 2: The director Lance is Zuomi of the Pacific Research Institute, 436 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 2: and he replied, not true. Capital letters, three excavation points. 437 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 2: Not true. For example, among California high school seniors in 438 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, one third scored at the proficient level 439 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 2: the reading test. Reading test is done by the National 440 00:24:54,560 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 2: Assessment for Educational Progress and AAP, So only one third 441 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 2: of the students California high school seniors was proficient in reading. 442 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 2: That rate is lower than the pre pandemic rate of 443 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 2: thirty six percent. So in the last six years, the 444 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 2: percentage of students proficient at reading down three percent. I 445 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 2: mean two thirds of the students that graduate high school are. 446 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: Not proficient in reading. 447 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 2: On the math test, only twenty one percent of twelfth 448 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 2: graders are proficient. That's down from twenty nineteen. Fourth and 449 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 2: eighth grade scores down since twenty nineteen. So you have 450 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 2: fourth grade, eighth grade, twelfth grade scores in math and 451 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 2: English all across the chart. 452 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: Everything is down, down, down, down down. And he goes. 453 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 2: On TV yesterday and says, we've seen improved academic achievement 454 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 2: in every area. 455 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: Now. 456 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 2: He would never say that in a setting where somebody 457 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 2: also had a microphone and the knowledge and can completely 458 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 2: refute it. He would never do that. And of course 459 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 2: in all the news coverage I saw, nobody did a 460 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 2: fact check. We're not going to be spending twenty seven 461 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 2: thousand dollars per student. The Zoomi says increased spending has 462 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 2: not given California taxpayers bang for their buck, because now 463 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 2: you have high level of universities like you see San 464 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 2: Diego that has to give remediation classes for math because 465 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: somehow these kids went through thirteen years of school from 466 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 2: kindergarten through twelfth grade and they didn't learn the basic math. 467 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 2: In fact, I think they're stuck at a fifth grade 468 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 2: level on it average. The ones who needed the remedial course. 469 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 2: Uh oh yeah, she points out. You know who is 470 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 2: not at the at the speech, there was a lot 471 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 2: of elected officials there. Insurance commissioner were Cardi Lara, Alphart 472 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 2: Lara was not there now, just talking to a lot 473 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 2: of people in the Palisades a couple of days ago. 474 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 2: One of the biggest blocks to getting their homes rebuilt 475 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 2: is the insurance companies just won't pay. They will not 476 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 2: pay and and settle the claim. And we're Cardi Lara 477 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: and Gavin News ought to be busy busting heads because 478 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 2: that's that's part of the big hold up, in addition 479 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 2: to the lack of permits. And we're Cardilara, what do 480 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 2: you want to bet he's he's traveling somewhere. 481 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 4: I was gonna say, he's very busy, John, what's on 482 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 4: vacation somewhere? 483 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 2: Where? 484 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 1: Do you think he went? 485 00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 4: New Zealand maybe Australia to Turks and Caicos. 486 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: Turks and Caicos. 487 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, the water's amazing. 488 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: I tell you you love to travel. 489 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 4: The insurance because you know, what that may be my 490 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 4: next career. 491 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: You couldn't be any worse.

Since he took 498 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 2: over twenty five percent more for housing and food, forty 499 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 2: percent more for utilities and gas forty percent in seven years, 500 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 2: it's gone up. The Senate Majority leader Brian Jones says 501 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 2: California is the single most expensive place to live in America. 502 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 2: Our schools are broken in math and science. More than 503 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 2: half of California's students do not meet basic standards. It's 504 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 2: more like two third to eighty percent.

But there's a reparations deal 531 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 2: in San Francisco. So maybe Richie can explain this or 532 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 2: maybe not two rounds the moist line of three twenty 533 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 2: and three fifty and more detail on a year after 534 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 2: the Palisades fire, we have fewer fire trucks in Los 535 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 2: Angeles and fewer ambulances. 536 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: Vote for Karen Bass. 537 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 2: She actually cut the fire department even further after the fire. 538 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 2: Got all the details, brand new story that came out today. 539 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 2: All right, here we go. Do you hear about the 540 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 2: McDonald's mcribs story? 541 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 3: Yes? 542 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: I did, Okay. 543 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 2: There are four plaintiffs who filed lawsuits in federal court 544 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 2: in Illinois, and they claim the McRib does not contain 545 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 2: any actual pork rib meat at all. Of course, pork 546 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 2: rib is extremely tasty. I wouldn't know, You wouldn't know, 547 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 2: but it is. And when you hear something called McRib, 548 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 2: you figure that's the meat off the ribs, right, just look, 549 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 2: and you go to a barbecue joint. You hold those 550 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 2: ribs with your bare hands and rip the meat off 551 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 2: with your teeth. Extremely tender, flavorful, very satisfying. Well, according 552 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 2: to the lawsuit, uh, the name is fake. There's no 553 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 2: rib meat in it, and the shape they deliberately crafted 554 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 2: the patty to make it look like a rack of 555 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 2: pork ribs. 556 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not. The meat patties are instead made up 557 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: of ground up. 558 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 2: Pork shoulder. Okay, and that that's the best one, best ingredients. 559 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 2: Ground up pork heart. Uh, ground up tripe? 560 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 4: What's that? 561 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: What do you think tripe is? Eric? 562 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 2: You gotta guess there isn't that? The stomach lining very good, excellent. 563 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 2: I'm guessing that's not kosher, absolutely not. Uh, the edible 564 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 2: lining from the stomach of farm animals. You could have 565 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 2: cattle tripe, sheep tripe. Cattle trup is pretty good. Oh, 566 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 2: that that's kosher. I've had it on a taco I 567 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 2: see pig tripe. 568 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: All right. 569 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 2: So what have we got so far? Pork shoulder, we 570 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 2: got ground up heart, meat and ground up stomach lining. 571 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 2: And then the one that got me, that made. 572 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 4: Me say, didn't get you? 573 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 2: No, no, this is the one that pushed me over 574 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 2: the edge and said, you know, I'm going vegan. Scalded stomach, 575 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 2: Oh god, scalded stone. 576 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 4: What do you think are in your hot dogs, John, 577 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 4: and some of your burgers? 578 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: I only have hot dogs at Dodger games. 579 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 4: You in some places? 580 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 2: Oh? No, no, I only go to good places for burgers. 581 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 2: I don't go to fast food. 582 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 4: That's what I want. 583 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 2: Well, if I'm looking at if all the that's what 584 00:33:58,360 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 2: I said, if everybody was. 585 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 4: Serving this, Maybe everybody is and you just don't know. 586 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: I had to look up scalded stomach. 587 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 4: I thought, I'll say that again. 588 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 2: Well, what it is is they scalded. I guess it's 589 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 2: extremely boiling hot water. That's how they cook it, and 590 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 2: then they ground it up and then they put into 591 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 2: this meat patty mix. I don't want scalded stomach. I 592 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 2: don't want stomach lining heart. Now McDonald's is denying this. 593 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 2: None of it's pork rib meat. And when you look 594 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 2: at the explanation from McDonald's, you know, food quality and 595 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 2: safety or at the heart of everything we do. That's 596 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 2: why we're committed to using real quality ingredients cross from 597 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 2: entire menu. Well, you could, I guess, have quality tripe 598 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 2: and quality scalded stomach, right, those are real ingredients. Our 599 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 2: fan favorite McRib sandwich is made with one hundred percent 600 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 2: pork sourced from farmers and suppliers across the US.

But they 603 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 2: don't say that it's ribbed me. I noticed, Yeah, they 604 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,240 Speaker 2: just had pork. They just said it's pork. We've always 605 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 2: been transparent about our ingredients. It's one hundred percent seasoned, 606 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 2: boneless pork. Well that's not so. What they did is 607 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 2: they called it that micrib. They're not saying it's a 608 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 2: pork rib. They're arranging it so it looks like pork ribs, 609 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 2: but it's not. 610 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 4: They're messing with your brain. 611 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 2: And the thing is, people go crazy over this every year. 612 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 2: They only release it for like a few weeks at 613 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 2: a time, and it starts a frenzy and people stand 614 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 2: in line for it.
