00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: one day. Now I have further investigated with this is

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: the story of Dana Williamson, Gavin Newsom's top aid for

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: two years chief of staff. She's charged by a federal

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: grand jury with twenty three counts. By the way, for

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: those of you who have the knee jerk response, this

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: is just Trump glowing after Newsom.

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: No.

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: This started three years ago, the investigation during the Joe

17
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: Biden administration. Dana Williamson is legitimately a crook and she

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: was Newsome's top aid. And according to Williamson's attorney, they

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: wanted Williamson to tell them something incriminating about Newsom, and

20
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: she said she didn't have anything. And there's a line

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: in the Time story that they wanted her to wear

22
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: a wire. I did clarify the Chanel fifteen dollars three

23
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: hundred and forty three dollars price tag. Oh, Chanell handbag.

24
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: Apparently a parrot earrings came with it. Yeah, the latest

25
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: reports added Chanel bag and earrings.

26
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 3: Okay, well that explains the high price type. And no,

27
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: I don't have Chanell earrings either. Well, you really are impoverished.

28
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: I really am. You're going wanting.

29
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: Let's get to James Gallagher, the Republican assemblyman in California,

30
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: And James, I got to start off by asking you

31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: about this scandal. Dania Williamson, Newsom's chief of staff for

32
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: two years, has been around Fermento forever. She was in

33
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: the Jerry Brown administration, the Great Davis administration, and she's

34
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: been a lobbyist there, a fundraiser everything. What what's your

35
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: reaction to this huge indictment of her and others?

36
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 4: Certainly shocking, but it's not surprising to me.

37
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 5: Uh.

38
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: You know this, this woman was the same person under

39
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom who oversaw the Paneragate negotiations. You might remember

40
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 4: the fast food legislation that excluded Panera bread right in

41
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: those negotiations. Apparently people signed the NBA's so they could

42
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 4: shield this public legislation, you know, from the public. This

43
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: is the same lady who tried to get Prop thirty

44
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 4: six pushed off the ballot using bullie tactics and the

45
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 4: governor's She may have also been doing these things on

46
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: the side.

47
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: The Panera scandal was that, uh, you had a minimum

48
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: wage law for fast food restaurants, but Panera was excluded,

49
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: and Newsome was getting donations from the Panera executive if

50
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: I remember correctly.

51
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 6: Uh. And so they had a friendship, you know, going

52
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 6: back many years. And you know it's kind of the

53
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 6: mo with Gavin is his friends seemed to get special

54
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 6: deals donors that got no bid contracts during COVID for example.

55
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 6: So you know, there's his administration has sort of been

56
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 6: mired in corrupt or underhanded tactics and Prop here is.

57
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: The latest one.

58
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: And on Prop thirty six, she behind the scenes was

59
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: viciously trying was was working to get Prop thirty six

60
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: blocked from the ballot, trying to pull all kinds of

61
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: tricks to stop that, uh right, which.

62
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 4: I mean there were lead emails with her in the

63
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 4: DA's Association where you know, basically she was trying to

64
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 4: get them to take them as you're off the ballot.

65
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: Uh.

66
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 4: You know, they they designed these poison pill amendments to

67
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: try and you know, mess with uh about you know,

68
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 4: what would ltimately be a title in summary Uh, that

69
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: they would use to try and undermine property stakes. I

70
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 4: mean they did everything they could to have you know,

71
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 4: I would say, abused their power to make sure we

72
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: wouldn't even have an opportunity to vote on the measure.

73
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 3: Uh do you do? Do you I wonder?

74
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean not you probably wouldn't know. But there's some tantalizing.

75
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 4: Sentences in the I think I'm moving you a little

76
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 4: bit there. Go ahead and repeat that. I'm sorry.

77
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: There's some tantalizing sentences in the ALLA Time story on

78
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: Williamson's indictment where they asked her to wear a wire

79
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: and they wanted her to turn over information that she

80
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: knew about.

81
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: Knew some in a separate case. Have you heard anything

82
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 3: about this?

83
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 4: Yeah? I did read about that. I thought I found

84
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 4: that very interesting. And you know, one of the things

85
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 4: we have, you know, I say that this is sort

86
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 4: of the tip of the iceberg, you know, the indictments happened,

87
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 4: but we already know there was co conspirators. We know

88
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 4: that there's people who have apparently taken plea deals, and

89
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 4: you know, what often happens in these federal investigations is that,

90
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 4: you know, people start naming names and you know, obviously

91
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 4: we don't know all the details of that yet, but

92
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 4: it could be that this has greater you know, implications,

93
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 4: and that others could be you know, implicated in this

94
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 4: whole thing.

95
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: Well, Williamson's co conspirator in this with Sean McCluskey, who

96
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: is the chief of staff for Javier Bsera. He's already

97
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: played guilty, so you have to wonder if he's now

98
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: flipping and naming names in order to get reduced since

99
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: since he made a plea deal already.

100
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that is what we do see happen.

101
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, none, no elected official has you know,

102
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: been named, you know or indicted in this investigation. But

103
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 4: you know that could it could prove that, you know,

104
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 4: more testimony leads to other other facts being uncovered, So

105
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 4: we don't know. But the bottom line is this was

106
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom's top person in his office. We also know

107
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 4: that he put her on leave knowing that this investigation

108
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 4: was going on, and you know, it says a lot

109
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: about his judgment, you know that he puts someone like

110
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: this in place. And it's not just me saying, it's

111
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 4: actually Democrats now coming out and talking about this and

112
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 4: talking about this woman's reputation, you know, and how she

113
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 4: has acted with others, and it wasn't even surprising to them,

114
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 4: all right.

115
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: You know, originally wanted to have you on to talk

116
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: about your proposal to put California into Can we do.

117
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 3: That another day?

118
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 4: Sure we could do that.

119
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 3: Can we do that yet?

120
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 6: No?

121
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, well sometime in the next few days, why don't

122
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: you come back on and we'll devote more time to that.

123
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: But I've just got so much we got to get out,

124
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: with this corruption case and with the Palisades hearing going on,

125
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: and I don't want to give you short shrift. I

126
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: want a full airing. Okay, Sure, all right, James, thanks

127
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: very much. Similar, and James Gallagher asked, and when we

128
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: come back, we're going to play you a story from

129
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: Ashley Zavala from CACRA Channel three in Sacramento, again the

130
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: only reporter that covers Sacramento.

131
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: Uh, and she's got.

132
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: She'll lay out the whole story about Dana Williamson, Newsom's

133
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: former chief of staff, who was asked when she was

134
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: approached by investigators.

135
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: What does she have a Newsome?

136
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: There might be a separate investigation, and La Times said

137
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: that Williamson's attorney indicated that she was asked to wear

138
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: a wire. She said, I don't have any information on

139
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: anything derogatory about Newsom, so but I am quite curious

140
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: because there's so much corrupt activity that's affecting our lives,

141
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: from the sweetheart deals that PG and E and so

142
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: Cal Edison get, how they get to burn down entire

143
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: towns repeatedly and then we end up stuck with the

144
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: bill to pay for all the damages. We'll just start

145
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: with that these are bad people up in Sacka. I

146
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: know we've got bad people in Los Angeles and it's

147
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: it's actually killing people and destroying lots of property, and

148
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: they're looting a lot of money. And Dana Williamson, I

149
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: agree with j James Gallery. This is just a tip

150
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: of the iceberg. So we'll give you a complete rundown

151
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: with a report from Ashley Zavala.

152
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 7: Next, you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI

153
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 7: A M six forty.

154
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom's right hand woman, Dana Williamson. She was chief

155
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: of staff for two years and she's involved in a

156
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: lot of the bad legislation that has made California such

157
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: a difficult place. While she got caught twenty three federal

158
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: corruption charges allegedly stealing campaign funds from Xavier Bisseera, the

159
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: former attorney general who's running for.

160
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: Governor Jabber Bakaria, formerly in the Biden administration.

161
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: He had a couple hundred thousand dollars lining around account

162
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: and she punched it along with others. Here is a

163
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: good rundown from ZACHOMANOKCRAA Channel three reporter Ashley Zavalla.

164
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 8: Tonight, for the first time, we're learning Governor Gavin Newsom's

165
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 8: office says that Dana Williamson was put on leave as

166
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 8: soon as she informed them last year that she was

167
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 8: under criminal investigation. Dana Williamson is one of the most

168
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 8: powerful people in California's political system.

169
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 3: She was arrested this.

170
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 8: Morning and released this afternoon on a five hundred thousand

171
00:09:59,240 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 8: dollars bond.

172
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 5: She's accused of.

173
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 8: Conspiring with Javier Messeta's former chief of staff, Sean McCluskey,

174
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 8: to take two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars from

175
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 8: Bessetta's political campaign account. Javid Messetta is the former US

176
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 8: Health and Human Services Secretary under President Joe Biden and

177
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 8: former California Attorney General. He is running for California governor

178
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 8: right now. Investigators say this happened between twenty twenty two

179
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 8: and twenty twenty four, which started before but continued while

180
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 8: she was working for Governor Gavin Newsom. She faces twenty

181
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 8: three federal charges related to that, including wire fraud, bank fraud,

182
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 8: obstruction of justice, and false tax documents. Williamson pleaded not

183
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 8: guilty today in federal court. Her alleged co conspirators, Sean

184
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 8: McCluskey and well known Sacramento lobbyist Greg Campbell have plea deals,

185
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 8: according to court documents. In a statement, JAVIERD. Massetta said, quote,

186
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 8: the news today of formal accusations of impropriety by a

187
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 8: long serving trusted advisor are a gut punch. I have

188
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 8: voluntarily cooperated with the US Department of Justice in their

189
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 8: investigation and will continue to do so. As California's former

190
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 8: attorney general. I fully comprehend the importance of allowing the

191
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 8: investigation and legal process to run its course through the

192
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 8: justice system. Here's our exchange with Williamson and her attorney

193
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 8: when they came out of the courthouse. Would other California

194
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 8: officials and people involved in the government be concerned now

195
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 8: with this investigation underway?

196
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 3: Do you have any comment, Miss Williamson, You guys can

197
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 3: contact my attorney. Do you have anything to say at all?

198
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 8: Chris Williamson, do you have anything to say to Jabiota

199
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 8: Basata right now?

200
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: He called this a gut punch living with prosecutors.

201
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 8: Miss Williams, And you have nothing to say with the

202
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 8: twenty three counts against you, alleging that you and co

203
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 8: conspirators funneled money to from baby's attorney stuff.

00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: first day.

207
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 8: You have nothing to say to the people of California,

208
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 8: Miss Williams, saying should governor get the news and be concerned?

209
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 8: Miss Williamson, governs, there's nothing nothing else with the twenty

210
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 8: two charges to other government officials in California. Other people

211
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 8: associated with the government be concerned here.

212
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 3: Sorry, I have no comment on that.

213
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 8: Thank you. This is this is a this is a

214
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 8: big case, sir. A lot of people could be involved.

215
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 8: Dana Williamson was a very powerful person in California's government.

216
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 8: There's there's nothing you can share at this moment. Can

217
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 8: you say when when we might have an update or

218
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 8: something from from you?

219
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 3: So it won't be for me?

220
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 8: Well she just referred. She just okay, so you won't

221
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 8: be her counsel.

222
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 3: There's somebody about me.

223
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 8: Dana Williamson's next court date is scheduled for this December eleventh.

224
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 8: There are obviously a lot of conditions associated with her

225
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 8: release from custody today.

226
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: Again a blockbuster development here, and so a lot to

227
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: take in.

228
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 3: What are what are some area Democrats saying about it?

229
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 4: Excuse me?

230
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I've spent all day talking to lawmakers, people who

231
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 8: have worked with data, political consultants, all who are stunned

232
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 8: by this.

233
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: I was actually in a room full.

234
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 8: Of political consultants today as everyone was finding out at

235
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 8: the same time. So I'm wondering what more could come

236
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 8: from this investigation. Two questions I keep hearing moving forward

237
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 8: in all of this. One, how could this impact Governor

238
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 8: Gavin Newsom to how could this impact the candidate for governor,

239
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 8: Javetta Bassetta.

240
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: Oh, there was a room full of political consultants. You

241
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: mean like a room full of criminals. And you're telling

242
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: me they were shocked that you got arrested. Yeah, they

243
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: were a shocked that you did this. They were shocked

244
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: you got arrested. That's what the shock was. It's like

245
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: what they arrest for this stuff. Yeah, we're all in trouble.

246
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: That's nothing but a criminal operation going on in Sacramento.

247
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about part Another part of this

248
00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: is that Williamson was also million dollars in COVID loans

249
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: and then she used them as business deductions for the

250
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: Chanel handbag.

251
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 3: And earrings and stop laughing. No burkin, no burkin.

252
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: Now, you know you can't get a burkin for fifteen thousand,

253
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: A new heating and air conditioning system, a luxury hotel

254
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: stay for Williamson's birthday, A ten thousand dollars cash gift

255
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: to a relative. Let me see what else here, Oh,

Speaker 1: an eleven thousand dollars yacht rental in Mexico, the hotel

257
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: stay for her birthday, one hundred and fifty six thousand dollars,

258
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: one hundred ten thousand dollars to a California theme park.

259
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: That's not possible. Now, what's the top Disneyland price?

260
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, three hundred four hundred.

261
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: How do you spend He spend ten thousand dollars at

262
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: a theme park, doesn't say which one.

263
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of levels of corruption here. But

264
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

265
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: If you saw David Williamson, I think a lot went

266
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: to dinner and food purchases. John, She's not going hungry,

267
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: she's been eating well the last few years.

268
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 3: Well, she has the money. She's got the money. Yeah,

269
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 3: dakes lobster.

270
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: She's not waiting for snap benefits to come in, not

271
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: looking for those food stamps.

272
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: No, And I can't get over.

273
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: But Sarah doesn't notice almost a quarter of a million

274
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: dollars missing from his campaign bank account.

275
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 3: And I don't get that.

276
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: And some of this went on while she was still

277
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: chief of staff for Newsom. They're trying to make it

278
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: at some stories like she was doing this while she

279
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: was in private practice. No, No, there's an overlap to

280
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: when she was chief of staff. She was running these operations.

281
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: And McCluskey, her partner, who was the chief of staff

282
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: for Xavier Besara. He's already pleaded guilty, so he's talking.

283
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: This is gonna get good. And why did the Times

284
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: publish a line about her wanting they wanted the Feds

285
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: wanted her to wear a wire around Newsom, and they

286
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: wanted her to give details relating to another investigation. What's

287
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: that about? It's all skimmed over in a couple of lines.

288
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A

289
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 7: six forty.

290
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: Coming up after three o'clock. Here's another scandal. We're going

291
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: to have Bill A. Saley on the US Attorney for

292
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: the Central District here in Los Angeles, and the Justice

293
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: Department is filing a lawsuit against Gavin Newsom and the

294
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Shirley Weber, saying this Prop fifty plan

295
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: violates the US Constitution. It mandates racially jerrymandude congressional districts.

296
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: That violates the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

297
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: All these new districts that Newsom had drawn to benefit

298
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. Well, the Justice Department says this this

299
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: violates the Constitution, uh specifically how it was done. Bill

300
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: Sale will explain to us. We also will next hour

301
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: do more on the UH on the federal case against

302
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: Newsom's chief of staff Dana Williamson and all the corruption

303
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: charges against her, and again that started during the Biden administration,

304
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: twenty three charges others in government as well, including the

305
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: former chief of staff for Javier Sarah. So there's there,

306
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: they're there's They're getting a lot of the rats out.

307
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: But Sarah's former chief of staff has already pleaded guilty.

308
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: And there are rumors around Newsom that they asked Dana

309
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: Williamson to wear a wire and that they wanted to

310
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: know if she knew anything the negative about Newsom there

311
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: might be a separate investigation.

312
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 3: She said, no, I don't. We'll say Meantime, you.

313
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: Had the US Senator Rick Scott from Florida, another US

314
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin in town to investigate the

315
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: incompetence and absurdity of this Palisades fire, which never should

316
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: have happened.

317
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 3: But between Newsom and Bass.

318
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: And the LA Fire Department everybody else in government, Palisades

319
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: gets wiped out, twelve people die, sixty eight hundred homes

320
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: are destroyed, and so it's Rick Scott and Rick Scott,

321
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson came to town came to town to hold

322
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: a Senate hearing at the American Legion in Palisades. Let's

323
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: play first cut seven, where Scott talks about how it

324
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: could have been prevented.

325
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 5: Natural disasters do not discriminate. It doesn't matter how old

326
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 5: you are, how much money you have, or how smart

327
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 5: you think you may be. If you aren't prepared, nothing

328
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 5: else matters. And while being prepared starts with you and

329
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 5: is vital for everyone, is also very important that your

330
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 5: local date and federal governments do all they can to

331
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 5: prevent disasters, and for those disasters that can't be prevented,

332
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 5: they must be prepared to respond. I believe the Palastaates

333
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 5: fire was more than just a horrific tragedy. It was

334
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 5: an unacceptable failure of government to protect the lives and

335
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 5: property of its citizens. And we all know that this

336
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 5: fire hurt our seniors more than anyone else. Families in

337
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 5: this community deserve answers and accountability. Over the years, billions

338
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 5: upon billions of federal tax dollars taxpayer dollars have been

339
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 5: directed to California to support fire management and disaster mitigation efforts.

340
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 5: Yet on the day of the Pacific Pali States fire,

341
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 5: reservoirs were empty, fire hirrants went dry and instant people,

342
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 5: including many Volmer seniors, perished, while thousands more lost their homes,

343
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 5: businesses and everything they owned. While nothing can undo that

344
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 5: damage done by the Pacific Palistates fire, I am committed

345
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 5: to advocating for the victims, their families, and the community

346
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 5: to get answers and make sure this never happens anywhere

347
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 5: in our great country ever.

348
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: Again, this is really important, and I think Scott and

349
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: Johnson are going to push this to the limit. I

350
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: want to see. I want to see Bass being forced

351
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: to testify. She ought to be subpoened. Kristin Crowley should

352
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: be subpoenaed. Deenise Kinonez the d w P chief who

353
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: left the reservoir dry. Why is the reservoir dry? Why

354
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: the hydrants do work? Why are we're like forty trucks busted?

355
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: Why don't we have mechanics? Why were the firefighters sent home?

356
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 3: Why?

357
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: Why? Why?

358
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: Why we waited for the after action investigations and they

359
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: were silent on a lot of these issues. It's all

360
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: been a whitewash and Bass is just bumbling along hoping

361
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: to get reelected, and all she cares about is standing

362
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: on stage for the Olympics. Let's play cut eight here.

363
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: This is Wisconsin Senator Republican Ron Johnson.

364
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: I think Spencer kind of asked the question, why do

365
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: we have senator from Wisconsin and the cenator from Florida

366
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 2: coming here to Palisades to open up a new investigation

367
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: on this. I want to tell the story because I

368
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: think it makes a couple important points. Santra Scott was

369
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 2: in the Philippines on a foreign trip and one of

370
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: his staff members, who is too modest to be named,

371
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: was watching a podcast with Spencer Pratt when he was

372
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: describing all this, and because Sender Scott higher staff with

373
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: with the heart, with real compassion, that resonated with her,

374
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: she contacts Cender Scott, who she knew was going to

375
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: be flying back and stopping in Los Angeles and set

376
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 2: up that meeting. So Santa Scott, who as you now know,

377
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: was Governor Florida and has dealt with disaster disaster, got

378
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 2: better at it, understands the problem. Toured the Palisades and

379
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 2: not like I've toured it shocked, I mean literally shocked me.

380
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 2: Where's all the recovery, Where's all the construction, Where's all

381
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 2: the building. I will say that in terms of having

382
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 2: somebody in Congress in the Senate overseeing this investigation, this

383
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: is really his investigation, because he's got the expertise. You

384
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 2: could not find somebody better.

385
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, to outsiders, to normal people on the outside, this

386
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: is so shocking and ridiculous and absurd, it's not to

387
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: be believed. And here, for some reason, I'm just going

388
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 1: to keep calling it battered voter syndrome. People have been

389
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: abused by our government repeatedly in really vicious, nasty ways

390
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: that nobody's even affected anymore. Even if you burned down

391
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: a whole town, even if you have dozens of people die,

392
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: they just bumble along and vote the same bastards and

393
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: idiots in over and over again. Johnson talks about the

394
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,239
Speaker 1: subpoena power he has. I want to get into this

395
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: when we come back. This is the Palisades Fire US

396
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: Senate hearing with Ron Johnson from Wisconsin and Rick Scott

397
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: from Florida, and I hope they go to the ends

398
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: of the earth to find out. And I want to

399
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: see Bass sweating. I want to see Bass and Kenonyez

400
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: and Crowley and all the city council members sweating having

401
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: to explain this consense.

402
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI six.

403
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: We have Built Saley coming on, the US Attorney for

404
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: the Central District here in California, and he's going to

405
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: talk to us about the Justice Department suing Gavin Newsom

406
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: for this Prop fifty redistricting plan. They say it's illegal, unconstitutional,

407
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: It violates the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment

408
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: because it racially jerry manders. He will explain exactly the

409
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: violations that the federal government is accusing Newsom of. Coming

410
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: up after three, and we will also have more on

411
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom's chief of staff, Dana Williamson, and others getting

412
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: indicted twenty three counts against Danny Williamson, chief of staff

413
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: for two years, doing some of the committing some of

414
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: the crimes while in the office next door to Newsom,

415
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: stole a couple hundred thousand dollars.

416
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 3: And took out a phony COVID loan for a million.

417
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: That's why she's got twenty three charges against her. And

418
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: she was very active in doing damage to California. She

419
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: tried to single handedly block Prop thirty six from reaching

420
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: the ballot last year. So she's a bad, bad person

421
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: and she's going to be getting hers now. And the

422
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: question is is Newsom involved?

423
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 3: Well?

424
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: LA Times said they wanted her to wear a wire

425
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: around Newsom. Why would that be. We'll talk more with

426
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: Bill as Sale coming up. Let's now go back to

427
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: the other never ending scandal, which we are never going

428
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: to give up on here until there's consequences for Bass Newsom,

429
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 1: Quinonez Crowley. Today, the Senate had a hearing at the

430
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: Palisades fire site in Pacific Palisades at the American Legion

431
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: Hall and played a number of clips. Ron Johnson, Republican

432
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin, was there and he talked about subpoenas.

433
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 3: Play cut number nine.

434
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 2: I'm chairman of the PERMISLC investigation. I do have unlimited

435
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: subpoena power. I don't have to get votes or anything.

436
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: I just used this penis now we don't want to

437
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 2: do that. We're hoping for cooperation. But I've been investigating

438
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: now for better part of ten years. And let's face it,

439
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: government authorities are not particularly transparent. They'll turn you over documents,

440
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: they'll give you tens of thousands of pages, but not

441
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: the good stuff. So I'm hoping you we don't have

442
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 2: to use that subpoena power. And we've gotten some productions,

443
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 2: but again nothing particularly revealing what we need.

444
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 3: We need more people like Spencer.

445
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 2: We need more people in the fire departments. I realize

446
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 2: they're concerned about retaliation, but we need whistleblowers. We need

447
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 2: people from the community coming forward and telling us what

448
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: they know. Documents text messages are incredibly important because if

449
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: we are forced to issue subpoenas, the fact that the

450
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: people that are supposed to comply with our subpoena is

451
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: if they're thinking, well, somebody else may be sending them

452
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 2: this email, and it's going to look pretty bad if

453
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: I don't provide produce ad documents as well. Again, so

454
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: again I prefer not using those compulsory techniques, but I

455
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 2: think we're going to have to, and why because we

456
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: want to get to the bottom of this so we

457
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 2: can prevent disasters like this in the future.

458
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: And he talks about how the Palisades fire was due

459
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: to this incompetence, this negligence, and that it's never have happened.

460
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: Play cut number ten.

461
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 2: This is completely unacceptable. What happened here, This is unacceptable

462
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: negligence after unacceptable negligence, lay it.

463
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 3: On app for each other.

464
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 2: The results in this there was an excellent article in

465
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal by you remember of Congress time

466
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 2: of Clintock, and I could not even believe statistic. This

467
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: is shortly after the fires. Apparently in the late eighteen hundreds,

468
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 2: California was suffering for about four point five million acres

469
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 2: of fire, of acres being destroyed by fire. And this

470
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: is the late eighteen hundreds, so they took care of it.

471
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: By the late nineteen hundreds, California is the only experiencing

472
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 2: about two hundred and fifty thousand acres being burned.

473
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: Then they abandoned all.

474
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 2: Those successful techniques, so you're back up to, you know,

475
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: a fire four point five million acres. Again, this is

476
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: there's no reason for it whatsoever.

477
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: One thing you have to remember is the Paradise fire

478
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: that killed eighty five people up in northern California a

479
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: few years ago, that was caused by PG and E.

480
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: The Altadena fire was caused by so Cal edison. The

481
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: Penal States fire was caused by an arsonists, and the

482
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: abandonment of the fire site by the LA Fire Department

483
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with climate change. Newsom conveniently took

484
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: this week off to go to Brazil and claim these

485
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: fires are from climate change. It's a complete lie. It's

486
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: total bulk crap. Meantime, all of a sudden, we've got

487
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: his chief of staff twenty three charges on corruption and

488
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: Newsom's been out of the country, stories that they wanted

489
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: her to wear a wire against him. He's out of

490
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: the country claiming climate change for the fires that were

491
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: caused by his campaign downers or caused by an arsonist.

492
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: Not going to give up in any of this stuff.

493
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: We're going to have Bill saleon next. He is the

494
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: US Attorney for the Central District of California, and this

495
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: next conversation is going to be about the Justice Department

496
00:28:54,400 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: suing Gavin Newsom over Prop fifty racial gerrymandering, which is

497
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution Equal

00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: Protection Clause. All will be explained after Denver's news Deborah
