I think it's going 7 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 2: to launch tonight. Has it launched yet? I don't think so, 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: Debro No, But there The reason this launch is I 9 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 2: think somewhat high profile, is because they're going to rescue, 10 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 2: if you will, or finally transport home those two NASA 11 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 2: astronauts that have been up there forever. And you know, 12 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 2: it's been nine months. They were supposed to be up 13 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 2: there ten days now. They were told it could be 14 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: months before you come back. But I don't know, they're 15 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: really you talk about a great attitude. 16 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 3: I was gonna say I saw an interview with them 17 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 3: and they and they basically said. 18 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 4: You know, we're prepared for this to happen. 19 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, no big deal. 20 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 4: I'm thinking, I'm God, it'd be a big deal for me. 21 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: I asked one of the astronauts in the Actually it 22 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: was one of the Kelly brothers. You know, Mark Kelly 23 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 2: is the astronaut, was up in space. Well his brother, 24 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 2: who twin brother, was on Earth and they were comparing 25 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 2: the two bodies when they came back. They have all 26 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 2: these ways that they're trying to evaluate the effect of 27 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: space on the body, et cetera. Anyway, ask him, so 28 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 2: you're in that International Space Station, I mean, aren't there 29 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 2: days where like Dimitri is getting on your nerves or 30 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 2: I mean, how do you handle that in that close quarter? 31 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 2: How do you handle the different personalities? And he said, 32 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: you know, they kind of test us all on that stuff. 33 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: They make sure that psychologically we're not the kind that 34 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: are necessarily going to you know, be quick to you know, 35 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: to anger at things, and we sort of it's just 36 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 2: the I guess the backbeat of everything up there is 37 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: very calm, you know, and so they don't get irritated. 38 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 4: That's what do you ever be able to do that? 39 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 2: Ever? Are you kidding? I'll tell you one thing. You're 40 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 2: not sending me up there for what I think is 41 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: ten days and leaving me up there for nine months. 42 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: That is not going to happen. So anyway, well, but 43 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: that is happening tonight. 44 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 4: That's unless something else goes wrong. 45 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 2: Yes, scrub, there is that always. Donald Trump has made 46 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: a rare visit, and it really is rare. I mean, 47 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 2: the last time he's gone to the Justice Department, the 48 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: last time there was a president of the Justice Department 49 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 2: is Barack Obama, I believe. But don't take my word 50 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 2: for it. Take the word of ABC News correspondent Zorin Shah, 51 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 2: my old colleague over at Fox eleven High, Zoring, Hey, 52 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: good to be with you. 53 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, you're exactly right. Barack Obama was the 54 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 5: last president. And it is a very very rare visit 55 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 5: for a president. Yet Clinton go won, George W. Bush 56 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 5: went twice, Herbert Hoover, But those business world whore really different. 57 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 5: Those were more ceremonial, and this had a very different feeling. 58 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me what the feeling was, and tell me 59 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 2: why this president felt the need to go to the 60 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: Justice Department. 61 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 5: You know, it was more of a political rally. It 62 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 5: felt more in line with what you hear from Trump 63 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 5: when he speaks to those crowds. He was laying up 64 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 5: what he wants his Justice Department to do. But I 65 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 5: think what was really dramatic. I mean some of the 66 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 5: lines where we've heard before. Certainly it had the cinematic feel. 67 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 5: I mean, a few months ago, there were people inside 68 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,279 Speaker 5: of that building who were working very hard to prosecute 69 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 5: the very president who was now standing in that building. 70 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 5: He was the target of a subtle prosecution, once the 71 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 5: target of that very Justice Department. And that's what really 72 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 5: made it sooka. 73 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: Like here and so did he reference that or I know, 74 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: he spoke a bit about, you know, sort of under 75 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: his administration, they won't weaponize the Justice Department the way 76 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: they did under the prior administration. Was his kind of 77 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: general sentiment, right, yep. 78 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, that was exactly right. I mean, that is that 79 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 5: is what he repeated, is it's now the very familiar 80 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 5: occupation that the Justice Department was weaponized to attack him. 81 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 5: And he talked about this extensively. He said, he claimed that, 82 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,799 Speaker 5: you know, we have to be honest about the lives 83 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 5: and abuses that have occurred within these walls. Of course, 84 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 5: his critics say that that is completely focused and you know, 85 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,559 Speaker 5: a lot of mistruths. He talked about restoring equal justice 86 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 5: under the rule of law. He falsely claimed that the 87 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 5: prior Justice Department tries to stop him from becoming president 88 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 5: and spent a lot of the time really lashing out 89 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 5: against his political critics. 90 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: So you've mentioned so there were some misstatements or falsehoods 91 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: along the way, but he was making if we just 92 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: take a step back, he was making a general statement 93 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: about the direction of the Justice Department and how it 94 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: won't be succumbing to any kind of sort of political agenda. 95 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: It sounds like that was his overall point. 96 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 5: Which is definitely an interesting kind of case to make 97 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 5: because as you've seen, he's been elevating a lot of 98 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 5: people that appear to be very loyal to the president. 99 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 5: You know, he's been purging many career civil servants. But 100 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 5: but yeah, that is what he said that he wanted 101 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 5: to do. He wanted to fight the weaponization of the department, 102 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 5: and of course, you know, you have critics pointing out 103 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 5: that he is using his power to punish his enemies. 104 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, the rhetoric doesn't seem to match the action a 105 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: lot of the time with Trump, that's the way it is. 106 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 2: But who else was there? I think Pam Bondi, whose 107 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: Attorney general was there? Who else? 108 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 5: FBI Director Cash to tell you had white host officials, 109 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 5: Republican state Attorney General's local law enforcements. I think what 110 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 5: was the most striking is that you didn't perhaps see 111 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 5: maybe as many folks from the Justice Department as you 112 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 5: might under another president. They were are not invited the 113 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 5: Department of Justice rank and file members unless they got 114 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 5: a special invitation, and that I think is also what 115 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 5: is leading a lot of people to say the spelt 116 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 5: more like a political rally. 117 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 2: I see, yeah, fascinating. Well, any word as to what's 118 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: happening with Special Counsel Jack Smith. I mean he's been 119 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 2: talked about as someone she obviously headed up the investigations 120 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: and even the prosecutions and indictments of Donald Trump. Is 121 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 2: he on the wish list for you know, cash Battel 122 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 2: and the rest. I mean, he's Patel has made no 123 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: I think bones about the fact that he has a 124 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 2: list of people who's going to go after. 125 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 5: You know, Jack Smith was actually was brought up in 126 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 5: this in this rally today and I'm actually looking at 127 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 5: the transfer because I want to make sure I get 128 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 5: this part right. I mean Trump really went at I mean, 129 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 5: if we revoked the clearances, he called called Jack Smith's deranged. 130 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,679 Speaker 5: He included him in assendance with Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, 131 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 5: people who really try to hold Trump accountable when he 132 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 5: was when he was running. So so don't worry. He 133 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 5: did bring him up. He was mentioned in this very 134 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 5: event today. 135 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: It's just odd. I mean, in the same speech that 136 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 2: you're making these sweeping statements about sort of this past 137 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: policy of weaponizing the Justice Department and how your administration 138 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: isn't going to have any of that and they won't 139 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: be prosecuting anyone for political affiliations, and that you then 140 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: just open up a can of I'm going after you 141 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 2: when you mentioned Jack Smith, and again that is I 142 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: think part of the dissonance, you know, the disconnect sometimes 143 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: between the rhetoric of Donald Trump and the actions of 144 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 2: his administration. But fascinating, you know, yeah. 145 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 5: It certainly muddles the water a lot of times, and 146 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 5: just I think can craft confuses a lot of people 147 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 5: who closely follow him. For sure. 148 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 2: In my last minute with you, let me ask you, 149 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 2: did you are you guys rebuilding in the Palisades? Zorine 150 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: lost her house in the was it the Palisades or Malibu? 151 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: I thought it was, yeah, yeah, we are. 152 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 5: You know, it is the most tedious process ever we 153 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 5: are still trying to figure out to removal. We're still 154 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 5: trying to figure out do we keep our foundation or not. 155 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 5: And everyone said it's going to be a long process, 156 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 5: and you don't realize how painstakingly long every little thing 157 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 5: is until you're in it. It's it's it's the pain 158 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 5: for sure. 159 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: Now let me ask you the tough questions. This is 160 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 2: why they pay me. So did insurance cover you to 161 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: the point that you can get out hold and rebuild 162 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 2: or is it going to be uh is there going 163 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 2: to be some you know, some bleeding associated with it? 164 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 5: So we got a portion of we have California Fair Plan. 165 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 5: We've got a portion of the advance in the mail already. 166 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 5: That was very exciting.

Let me just say one of 244 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 2: the things that's key. Editing is so important, of course, 245 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: but in a comedy, particularly an editor. A good editor 246 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: can make a moment so much funnier. 247 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 3: Absolutely, you know, until I was married to my husband, 248 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 3: I mean in college, I remember I. 249 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 4: Had to edit a documentary and I hate it. 250 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 3: I did not like editing because it's hard work, sure, 251 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 3: and I mean seriously hard work. But I have new 252 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 3: found respect because I see what my husband does, I 253 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 3: see what Maze does, and absolutely I think editors don't 254 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 3: get enough. I don't want to say credit, but you know, 255 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 3: it's the talent, it's the director, it's the producer that 256 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 3: we always talk about and hear about. But editors can 257 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 3: definitely make or break a movie. So now when I 258 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 3: watch movies or TV shows, I always say. 259 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 4: To my husband, that was a bad edit. That was 260 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 4: a bad edit. Why didn't they hold on to that 261 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 4: shot longer and then you edit it? I mean I 262 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 4: do that all the time. 263 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 2: It is true that if you linger on a shot, 264 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 2: it can be making a funny moment funnier, absolutely, But 265 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 2: if you linger on a shot too long, it can 266 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: make a you know, it can take the edge off 267 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 2: app So what other films has she been involved with. Eric, 268 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 2: She's been involved with a couple of Dolly Parton things. 269 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 4: And I actually worked on them and did voice work. 270 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 2: Did you now? I see you get the end? The 271 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: single Mom's Club. 272 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 4: Good, joy Luck Club? 273 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: Wow, wow, time bomb. You could stop after a Major 274 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 2: League and Joy Luck Club and you can kind of 275 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: you know, plant the flag that's strong there. 276 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 3: My husband and Mazie are working on two movies right 277 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 3: now as we speak. 278 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 2: Now, when he edits, does he edit at home in 279 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 2: like a home edit bay? 280 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 3: He does, but he also goes he also goes to 281 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 3: a facility and does it. 282 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 4: So it just depends. 283 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: You've been married for a while. You remember the time 284 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 2: when he had to always go to the facility before 285 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 2: the technology had gotten to the point that he could 286 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 2: actually have a home edit bay. 287 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 5: Yeah? 288 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah?

Well tonight it's casual, which I'm glad 300 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 3: because it's raining in half of it's. 301 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 4: Going to be outside. 302 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 2: What a break. I think that is a huge break. 303 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: I know, I just hate having to dress up in 304 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 2: that formal stuff. Oh my god. 305 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 4: Sometimes it's fun, but definitely not in the rain. 306 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 2: It's somewhat gender specific. I think women more enjoy it 307 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: more than men. I don't know. 308 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 3: It is fun, but then when you know your hair 309 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 3: and it's raining or your hair is frizzy like mine, yeah, 310 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 3: the weather.

Yeah. 342 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 4: Yes, so we're not going to be there that long. 343 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 2: I see. 344 00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 3: So you want to be there to support her and 345 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 3: we'll see his life as he can handle it. 346 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: Oh, poor guy. All right, I have the same surgery. 347 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 2: It's surely it's brutal. Yeah, but I mean you get 348 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 2: back to it, yeah, I mean, you get back to life. 349 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,959 Speaker 2: It's true. That's Debora Mark and her glamorous night at 350 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: the Eddye Awards. When we come back. There are tariffs 351 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 2: and threats of tariffs both have an effect on the 352 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 2: California economy. We'll get into that when we continue. Mark 353 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,239 Speaker 2: Thompson sitting in for John Cobelt on KFI AM six 354 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: forty or Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 355 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 6: You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM 356 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 6: six forty. 357 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 2: Well, the on again, off again tariffs that are both 358 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 2: threatened and actually imposed have an effect on California. I mean, 359 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 2: we had some experience with this the first go round. 360 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 2: Remember our first marriage with the Donald Trump was in 361 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. For example, the it was almost like an 362 00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 2: interruption in the supply chain. There was Chinese cargo in 363 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. I'm seeing here at the Port of Long 364 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 2: Beach lost about twenty percent of that import and there 365 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: was an increase of imports from Southeast Asia like Vietnam, Indonesia, 366 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 2: Thailand to make that up. So there are always workarounds 367 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 2: when it comes to a tariff. Right, there are countries 368 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 2: when we a tariff, they are goods and there is 369 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 2: a matching depletion of that export on their end, they 370 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 2: find other countries to export too. And similarly, when we have, 371 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 2: as we do, the a tariff that's going into farming countries, 372 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 2: really in large measure, these soy farmers, soybean farmers will 373 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 2: be really hard hit and they have a terrific market 374 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 2: in China, but China is now going elsewhere for that 375 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 2: because of the Chinese tariffs. So anyway, these are the 376 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 2: retaliatory tariffs to China tariffs our goods, and so as 377 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 2: a result, you end up with this back and forth. 378 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 2: And as I say, this isn't our first go round, 379 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 2: and tariffs generally have this escalating pinch on the economy 380 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 2: now in California. And by the way, just to round 381 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 2: that out, what they did with the farmers and as 382 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 2: you may remember, again this was of Trump the first time, 383 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 2: when he was president the first time and there were tariffs, 384 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: then he took care of those farmers that were being 385 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 2: hit by those retaliatory tariffs. So a lot of the 386 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 2: tariff money oddly didn't go into the US treasury. It 387 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 2: went to checks sent to those farmers who were hard 388 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 2: hit and other industries that were a hard hit because 389 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 2: of the Chinese retaliatory tariffs. So this time there may 390 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 2: be that same kind of plan to take care of 391 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 2: those industries and many of those states, particularly his constituencies, 392 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: that helped let him to take care of them. So guys, 393 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 2: don't worry, I got you. A lot of this tariff 394 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 2: money is going to be taking care of you. The 395 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 2: problem with that, of course, is that undercuts the whole 396 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 2: expressed reason for the tariffs, which is supposedly to raise money, 397 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 2: I mean raise money for it, tax cut likely, and 398 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 2: so that's on down the way. But in any case, 399 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 2: what does it mean to California? So apparently there are 400 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 2: all kinds of ways in which the shoe pinches here. 401 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: I was reading this piece in the La Times that 402 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 2: was suggesting that, for example, there is a hardware store 403 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 2: called Annawalt. It's in Malibu, and they have lumber, and 404 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 2: they sell a lot of lumber. But as you know, 405 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: there is now a tariff associated with it, and the 406 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 2: majority of the lumber that the store sells in Malibu 407 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 2: comes from where anybody. Canada, and nearly all of the 408 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 2: steel products are made in anybody China. So those countries, 409 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 2: along with Mexico, they're part of these sweeping tariffs that 410 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 2: are both imposed by President Trump and he's threatening further tariffs. 411 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: So the reps for the hardware company that Ann Walt 412 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 2: in Malibu, they're saying the tariffs are one hundred percent 413 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 2: going to impact us. They've warned customers to expect high costs. 414 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 2: They'll have to be passed on. We're going to see 415 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 2: major increases, he said, fifteen to twenty five percent across 416 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 2: the board in this industry, and all kinds of businesses 417 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 2: around California. Farmers, automakers, homebuilders, tech companies, apparel retailers are 418 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 2: all going to be affected. But here is the odd part, 419 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 2: and this is why the markets are just all over 420 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 2: the place. The on again, off again tariff craziness makes 421 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 2: it impossible to really plan. And a lot of these 422 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 2: business people are saying, tell us what it's going to be. 423 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 2: Is it going to be a fifty percent terriffs, a 424 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 2: twenty five percent tariff? What countries involved? Because we have 425 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 2: to plan for the next quarter. So many business people 426 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 2: are saying, we don't know what to do. And the 427 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 2: twenty five percent tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico 428 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 2: that started, there was a ten percent limit on Canadian 429 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 2: energy and Chinese imports. Tariffs on them went up to 430 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 2: twenty percent. Then an exemption was granted. Remember US automakers 431 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 2: got the exemption. So once again this creates. Are there 432 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 2: going to be more exemptions? Is the tariff going to 433 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 2: be rolled back? Farmers in California and across the US. 434 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 2: Is noted here China imposed retaliatory duties up to fifteen percent. 435 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 2: This is what I was talking about. American agricultural products 436 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 2: including chicken, corn, beef, pork, wheat, and soybeans all hit 437 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 2: by that retaliatory duty of fifteen percent that imposed by China. 438 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 2: So businesses may have to change their operations. It's noted 439 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 2: across California there could be some real effect. This is 440 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 2: going to feel a little bit it suggested the way 441 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 2: it did during the supply chained interruptions of COVID. So 442 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 2: farmers it's incredibly tough for them. There's a heavy reliance 443 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 2: on trade with China and Mexico. Those are big, big customers. 444 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 2: Just a state of bluntly, and we are a global 445 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: agricultural powerhouse. China. I mean, China's our biggest probably our 446 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 2: biggest customer California. We are truly the engine when it 447 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 2: comes to global agriculture. But now there's going to be 448 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 2: a lot of this that is tariffed, and some of 449 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 2: it may never get exported at all. California farmers grow 450 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 2: the largest share of the nation's food. Also, more than 451 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 2: a third of the country's vegetables, more than three quarters 452 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 2: of its fruits and nuts are grown here in California, 453 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 2: and the state's fertile ground is a major supplier of 454 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 2: produce to countries around the world. That's what I was saying. 455 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 2: Farmers also rely heavily on fertilizer from anybody Canada, So 456 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 2: now that fertilizer costs you more, farmers in California are 457 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 2: going to be hurt, particularly badly almonds, soybeans, huge exports 458 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 2: of the US. Now I didn't even mention wine country. 459 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 2: These two one hundred percent tariffs that are going to 460 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: be imposed on champagne and spirits from the European Union. 461 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 2: This was just announced yesterday morning, and he's imposing these 462 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 2: tariffs as retaliation because he feels the plan by the 463 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 2: EU to put a fifty percent tariff on American made whiskey, 464 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 2: which should not stand. So as long as they are 465 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 2: going to do that. The imports when it comes to 466 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 2: champagne and wine from overseas two hundred percent. So how 467 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 2: will this affect wine growers in California. It's unclear. They're 468 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 2: all over the place. So as you look at tariffs 469 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 2: and ripple effects, it'll affect California in two ways. One 470 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 2: in terms of prices they will likely go up, the 471 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,719 Speaker 2: other in terms of availability. I mean, you just are 472 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 2: going to find something akin to but maybe perhaps night 473 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 2: as bad as what we saw during the COVID crisis, 474 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 2: with something that quacks a little like the supply chain interruptions, 475 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 2: but not knowing for all of these businesses, the on again, 476 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 2: off again chaotic nature of it, that is the toughest 477 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 2: part for California, your businesses. It's the co Belt Show. 478 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: Mark Thompson sitting in for John on KFI AM six 479 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 2: forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 480 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM. 481 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 2: Sixty KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 482 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: Eric getting me used to the new rhythm.

It was pretty cool. It really was about 493 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 2: eleven twenty five. I looked out over the Thompson Estate 494 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 2: and I saw a little red orb and that was 495 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 2: the moon. Yeah, it was pretty cool. I heard someone 496 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 2: told me it's good that gonna happening in for forty years? 497 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:02,239 Speaker 2: Is that the thing? 498 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 4: You got to see it? 499 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 2: Now? 500 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 4: I did? 501 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 2: I feel quite I feel quite lucky.

You just see 503 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 2: a little It might have been bigger earlier, but you're 504 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 2: just kind of a little almost just a little disk 505 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 2: in the sky. Like it wasn't a big moon over 506 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 2: the city that then was red colored. It was higher 507 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 2: in the sky and smaller, but it was. It was 508 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 2: pretty cool. Yeah, gotta say so. Anyway, clouds moved in, 509 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 2: rain moved in, and that's what we're dealing with. Now 510 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 2: I think it's didn't you say it's going to taper 511 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 2: off tomorrow. 512 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 3: Yes, it's going to be sunny and warmer tomorrow. Then 513 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 3: we might get some more. 514 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 4: Rain on Monday. 515 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 2: Well, the rain has its problems, but we do we 516 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 2: need it. We need we really do need it. So look, 517 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 2: I don't have good news about how much healthcare is 518 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 2: going to cost in California, and it looks like we 519 00:27:54,600 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 2: may have to float some kind of loan essentially to 520 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 2: cover the three billion dollar cost to overrun that the 521 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 2: state is going to have. We and this is something 522 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 2: that has been a political nationally, actually gets this political loser. 523 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 2: The state, as you know, is the first in the 524 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 2: nation to offer health care to all income eligible immigrants. 525 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 2: This just was the announcement one year ago and their 526 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 2: costs associated with that. So you've got nine point five 527 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 2: billion dollars in California state sponsored health care for undocumented immigrants, 528 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 2: and that's three billion above the budget that was estimated 529 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 2: from last summer and expected to get more expensive. So 530 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom and Democrats in the state legislature under a 531 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 2: lot of pressure to reduce this coverage to bring down costs. 532 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 2: I mean, we don't have the money, simply put So, 533 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 2: the idea somehow that you can extend this the way 534 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 2: it is extend in California, this healthcare coverage, it just 535 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 2: doesn't pencil out. Now, you had JB. Pritzker in Illinois 536 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 2: who was doing a similar thing. He proposed a three 537 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty million dollar budget cut last month because 538 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 2: he is trying to scale back their healthcare coverage for 539 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 2: undocumented adult immigrants in Illinois. Now, there was a state 540 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 2: audit in Illinois. They said that the services for certain 541 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 2: age groups there were almost three hundred percent higher than 542 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 2: the cost estimates. So this is what happens. I mean, 543 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 2: you commit to this and then the costs well exceed 544 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 2: any kind of estimate. So this kind of financial pressure 545 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 2: that they face in Illinois is the same kind of 546 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 2: financial pressure we have in California, and there just has 547 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 2: to be a reduction in coverage. So nine point five 548 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 2: billion dollars is the price tag of California's program. It's 549 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 2: already effected to grow higher than the three billion dollars 550 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 2: above the budget estimate that it has already exceeded from 551 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 2: last summer. We should not bear these costs, period, but 552 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 2: especially in a budget crisis, said the Assembly member from 553 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 2: San Diego, Carl Demyo. California's expansion of healthcare coverage for 554 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 2: all residents, regardless of immigration status, has done what It's 555 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 2: made us a target. So President Trump other conservatives pushing 556 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 2: this agenda in Washington, the nationalist agenda, which you know 557 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 2: includes deportations and a much tougher scrutiny of people's legal 558 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 2: status in this country. So this dovetails with it. Right, 559 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 2: can look at California. That these people who are here 560 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 2: illegally are a drain on the system is the claim 561 00:30:55,400 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 2: from Washington, and you're seeing it echoed on the X platform, 562 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 2: you know, Elon Musk's as X. I think we have 563 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 2: a tweet here. It's Democrats are pushing hard to maximize 564 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 2: payments to illegals e g. Free luxury hotels in New 565 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 2: York and free medical care for illegals in California, as 566 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 2: that is their current and future voter base. Now, I 567 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 2: don't I think you can criticize the the plan to 568 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 2: cover all of these illegals in the way it's certainly 569 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 2: hasn't penciled out, So the way it's been done thus 570 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 2: far is unsustainable. It just you just can't pay it. 571 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 2: You know, you're a state in trouble and you can't 572 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 2: afford it. But I think the notion that the Democrats 573 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 2: are trying to bring in these illegals because their future, 574 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 2: it's their future voter base, I'm sorry, I just don't 575 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: buy that. I think that's a you don't need to 576 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 2: make that up. I've just told you it's a bad 577 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 2: idea to have. The current coverage has configured. It's just 578 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 2: too extensive and it's too expensive. Why do you have 579 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 2: to throw in that. Oh, and it's their future voter base, 580 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 2: that's why they want them here. I think these people 581 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 2: who are here illegally are an engine of a part 582 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 2: of the California economy. They pay into a lot of 583 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 2: these services. They never get anything out because of the 584 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 2: I mean, I shouldn't say anything because I just told 585 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 2: you about the healthcare they're getting out. But they pay 586 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 2: into Social Security, for example, they don't get that out. 587 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 2: They pay federal taxes, they don't get anything on those particularly, 588 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 2: I mean, aside from I suppose the you know, the 589 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 2: general lifestyle increase, if you want to think of it 590 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 2: that way, that that all of us enjoy in the nation. 591 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 2: So my point is simply, you don't have to throw 592 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 2: in the future voter based part. You have to figure 593 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 2: cuts to this program. You cannot manage the state of 594 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 2: California this way. And so I do think they're going 595 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 2: to have to have a, you know, a come to 596 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 2: Jesus moment in Sacramento, and they're going to have to 597 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 2: make some decisions. So how they are going to reduce 598 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 2: funding to medicaid, I don't know, but they're going to 599 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 2: have to do it. They're going to be compelled to 600 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 2: do it. As I say, forget about the politics. I'm 601 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 2: just talking about the accounting in California. You cannot maintain 602 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 2: it at current levels, and so they won't. Now, Ray 603 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 2: has just told me that when we come back, Laura 604 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 2: Engel will join us. She is from News Nation and 605 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 2: she'll join us to tell us about what's going on 606 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 2: in New York. And that's the Diddy trial. Did he 607 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 2: showed up? He didn't look good. Apparently he's got a 608 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 2: new look, and it's not exactly a hot look, is 609 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 2: what I'm hearing. So we'll talk to Laura Engel next. 610 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 2: As we continue, it's the John Coblt Joe Mark Thompson 611 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 2: sitting in on KFI AM six forty live everywhere on 612 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. 613 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast. 614 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: You can always hear the show live on KFI AM 615 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 1: six forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday, 616 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: and of course, anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
