1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app after six o'clock, the 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: podcast John Cobel's show on demand, and I urge you, 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: I implore you, I demand that if you missed the 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: last hour with Spencer Pratt, that's what you're listening to tonight, 6 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: that's your homework assignment. I want you to play it 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: during dinner, when you go to bed, when you wake 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: up tomorrow morning, I want you to play it and 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: listen to it. This can be the future of Los Angeles, 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: This candidate, Spencer Pratt's, this is the one to replace 11 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: this tired, destructive, evil reign of Karen Basset Nythia Rahmen. 12 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: We can't have this anymore. This is a disgusting, absurd, 13 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: insane way to live. We don't have to live this way. 14 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: That that should be the campaign slogan. We don't have 15 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: to live this way, and we didn't used to not 16 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: that long ago. And he was making absolutely perfect sense. 17 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: There isn't a thing he said that I wouldn't say myself. 18 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: And that's who I'm voting for, and that's who you 19 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: have to vote for. And because I know more than 20 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: half of the voters out there are undecided, primarily because 21 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: they don't know any of the other candidates other than Bass. 22 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: Most of them don't like Bass. She's got a majority 23 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: negative rating. She's only got twenty five percent of the vote. 24 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: And it's exactly like George Gascon. Gascon had the same problem. 25 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: He had twenty five percent of the vote in the 26 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: early run and he has a disapproval rating. More than 27 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: half the people couldn't stand him, and eventually the other 28 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: candidates became well known. Nathan Hackman was well funded, so 29 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: he ran a lot of very effective television commercials. And 30 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: that's all we need to happen. Happen here is for 31 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: Pratt to get at known enough for people to overcome 32 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: whatever preconceptions they have of him because he has been 33 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: an entertainer, he's been an actor in reality shows. And 34 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: to listen to what he said, there's in a single 35 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: word I disagree with. I don't think if you're a 36 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: sane person, there's a single word that you would disagree with. 37 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: It is just simply enforcing the law, doing the obvious, 38 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: common sense the way it's always been, the way it's 39 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: done in most of the states around the country. Meantime, 40 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: the narcissistic psychopath that runs the state. These psychopaths, they're 41 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: good actors. Ed Gavin Newsom tested out his talent for 42 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: tearing up on command. I have not heard this audio. 43 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: I got a California Post story and it said he 44 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: teared up, his eyes welled, he was wiping tears off 45 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: his face, and you were wondering, what could this be. Well, 46 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: he he had he had announced a plan to add 47 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: ten thousand paid jobs to focus on disaster response, climate action, 48 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: education and community service. Well that's all. That's all wonderfully vague, 49 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: isn't it. And and they would be part of the 50 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: state's paid service force. And this is an appeal to 51 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: young men. You know, young men have increasingly been attracted 52 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: to Trump. Now I don't see young guys going for 53 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: going for Newsom. And I mean I got I got 54 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: three sons, and I can tell you what how some 55 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: of their friends described Newsom wiener, like he screams wiener 56 00:03:54,680 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: to any normal any normal mail. And he can't dewienify himself. 57 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: And somehow he thinks crying is going to endear himself 58 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: to these young men. Well, let's let's play this clip 59 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: and see what this is about. 60 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: I'm also yeah weird, Sean, I'm you know, forgive me. 61 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 2: You know this is embarrassing. He can turn all that off, uh, 62 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: just because all the noise, you know that we just 63 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 2: need to turn off. 64 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 3: And this is this is this.

You know, we're 68 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: all just sitting there yelling and screaming at each other. 69 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: Everybody's getting each other's throats and trying to tear everybody down. 70 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: And you know, how are we going to get out 71 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 2: of this? 72 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: This is it? 73 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 2: You heard these guys programs like this, community like this, 74 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 2: and I just it's like, why are we so stupid? 75 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: Why can't we just get this? It's so obvious what 76 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: we need to do. And so I'm just deeply proud 77 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 2: of this. 78 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's beyond Kamala Harris. That is about 79 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: as incoherent as I've heard anybody. He was trying. He 80 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: was acting as if he was so overcome with emotion. 81 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: He just set up a job, a make work jobs 82 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: program for young guys. That's all. This is so a 83 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: make work jobs program. I mean that he could not 84 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: complete a sentence, and he was and he was. The 85 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: thing is he was trying to fake emotion and fake 86 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: that he was so moved. Why would you get sorrowful 87 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: over this? I don't understand why.

That's uh, that is 93 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: so strange. He opened by saying, this is this is 94 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: really weird. He's having some kind of breakdown, like he's 95 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: a he's a bad actor. If he thought he could 96 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: make turn this into an emotional plea for young men 97 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,119 Speaker 1: to find meaning and purpose in life again. 98 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 4: Ah, you're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI 99 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 100 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: This expecta Pratt was on in the three o'clock hour, 101 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: the whole hour.

He's unbelievable. John McLeon wrote a 143 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: piece in the California Post this hospice thing that you know, 144 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: the billions of dollars, hundreds of hospices, it's really out 145 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: of control. James Comer is running the House Oversight Committee. 146 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: He's now launching a massive investigation into Newsom, and he 147 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: said yesterday on Fox that Newsom ought a lawyer up. 148 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: They're coming for him, and John mcgleon lays out the 149 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: case here. This congressional investigation centers on a simple, sobering fact. 150 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: The number of hospices in La County grew from one 151 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: hundred and nine. Write that number down one hundred and 152 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: nine back in twenty ten to one thousand, eight hundred 153 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: and forty one in twenty twenty one, a fifteen hundred 154 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: percent increase. The senior population grew forty percent, fifteen hundred 155 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: percent increase in hospices. He writes that Medicare's Hospital Hospice 156 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: Benefit program was designed for the dying, a compassion program 157 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: that pays for palliative care during your final months, and 158 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: it is by design minimally supervised. On average, people spend 159 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: eighteen days before they depart from the planet in hospice. 160 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: I can only think of one person who refused to 161 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter actually had to send him home because he 162 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't go. Made it to one hundred. He didn't know 163 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: he made it to one hundred, but he made it 164 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: to one hundred and the way the way mcglennon McLeon 165 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: excuse me, writes this patients are vulnerable, documentation is light, 166 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: and the government pays on trust. Fraudsters noticed schemes emerged 167 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: involving illegal kickbacks, license selling, mass enrollment of beneficiaries, and 168 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: hospice care without their knowledge or without providing any services 169 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: at all. By the mid twenty tens, warning sides were 170 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: hard to miss. State records show that more than twenty 171 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: one hundred complaints were filed between January of twenty fifteen 172 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: and August of twenty twenty one, three hundred and fifty 173 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: complaints alleging fraud or abuse. Organized networks were systematically defrauding 174 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: Medicare and Medical, which is the state's medicaid program. Federal 175 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: investigators had begun targeting organized crime rings running similar schemes 176 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: around the country. California's response. Newsom's response was to look 177 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: the other way. He said in twenty twenty two, there 178 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: was a state audit that should have ended careers. The 179 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: California State Auditor, Michael Tilden told Newsom that his office 180 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: found California's weak controls have created the opportunity for large 181 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: scale fraud and abuse, and all these hospices that were 182 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: committing the fraud and abuse were allowed to remain in service. 183 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: He froze new hospice licenses, but that didn't stop the 184 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: network of existing operators already inside the system. They were 185 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: building phantom patients operating from strip malls with four rent 186 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: signs in the window. This has been investigated by state auditors, 187 00:12:54,040 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: federal inspector General's, independent journalists across the political spectrum, and 188 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: he thinks this is what's going to bring Newsom down 189 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: if he tries to run for president, because this is 190 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: Tim Waffs. There's no excuse for this. It's unconscionable. It's 191 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: billions of dollars, and it's tax money. A lot of 192 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: it came from federal taxpayers all around the country, all 193 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: the states he's going to run in the primaries, he 194 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: has Newsom has defrauded voters in all these states, and 195 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: he's going to be running against other governors who have 196 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: not defrauded those same taxpayers. And maybe that's why he's 197 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: babbling incoherently again that clip, because his childhood dream is 198 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: going up and smoke and this is going to be 199 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: so enjoyable, This is going to be so much fun. 200 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: You wait until his fellow Democratic governors get a hold 201 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: of him. If he runs for office for president. Not 202 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: going to survive. It's impossible because they have done the 203 00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: responsible thing, they have done the right thing, and it's 204 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: been the wild West out here. 205 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM 206 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 4: six forty. 207 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: And Spencer Pratt was with us here in the first hour. 208 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: Spencer Pratt a whole hour. You I defy you after 209 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 1: listening to him for an hour and we covered a 210 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: lot of territory that you're you wouldn't think he's a way, way, 211 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: way better choice than the Bassar Ramen. I mean, it's 212 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: not even close. He's saying all the stuff that you're thinking. 213 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: He's saying all the stuff that you want to say. 214 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: He's saying the stuff that I'm saying. All right, So 215 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: listen to that three o'clock hour because this is an emergency. 216 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: This is a crazy emergency here. It's so far god 217 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: now on the state level, this is this is weird, 218 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: all right. And briefly touched on this yesterday, but if 219 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: you haven't heard, they were supposed to be this week 220 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: the big debate at USC Channel seven was going to 221 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: broadcast it and it was going to be six of 222 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: the top candidates for governor. It was going to be 223 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: the the two Republicans who are generally leading in most 224 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: of the polls, Steve Hilton number one, Chad Bianco number two. 225 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: And then there were there's three more Democratic candidates that 226 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: are about a ten percent double digits are close, and 227 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: that's Missus potato head and Eric Swalwell and Tom Steyer, 228 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: the nutbag billionaire. That's five. And then usc decided to 229 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: put Matt Mayhan, the San Jose mayor in even though 230 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: he was down about three four percent, but he had 231 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: a lot of fundraising very quickly because he is a smart, 232 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: reasonable guy. He is a Democrat, so if you're not 233 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: a Democrat, you're not going to agree with everything he says. 234 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: But he's smarter and much more reasonable. Most of the 235 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: other candidates are just certified billions. All those people I 236 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: mentioned happened to be white. That's just the way, the 237 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: voting and the thund raising way. So now you have 238 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: the losers, the people who are stuck at three, two 239 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: or one percent, they all happen to be non white, 240 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: and that would be Viragosa, Betty Yee uh Tony Thurman, 241 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: who I think is in charge of the disgusting public 242 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: school systems in this state. Who's the fourth one? I 243 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: can't even remember, Oh, oh, Xavier Visera, Javier Bakaria. They're losers. 244 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: They don't have much of a following. There's been a like, 245 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: you know, fifteen twenty poles. They just don't show up. 246 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: None of them can make five percent, and at some 247 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: point you can't. You know, you've seen debates where they 248 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: had like ten, twelve, fifteen people. It's a zoo. Everybody 249 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: gets twenty seconds and you don't learn anything. It's just 250 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: it's just nonsense. See, you gotta cut people off. And 251 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, the polling. You know, not every poll 252 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: is accurate, but you get twenty polls and you're at 253 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,239 Speaker 1: two percent. You're at two percent. And if the other 254 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: guys have a lot of money and you have no money, 255 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: it means you have no hope of getting beyond two percent. 256 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Shot through a bullhorn on 257 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: the corner. You you don't have it. Loser candidate, bad campaign. 258 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 1: They but they took their diversity nonsense to its logical extreme. 259 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: The candidates were cut off, said well, we're candidates of 260 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: color and this is unfair and there's no diversity, and 261 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: if we're not in, nobody should be in. Well, USC 262 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: eventually told told them to go stuff it and cancel 263 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: the debate. Now this crew and it's led by b Sarah, 264 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 1: he said, well, I think we should all make a 265 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: pact that if we're not all invited, then none of 266 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: us go. And I'm thinking if I'm one of the 267 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: double digit types, right, like I'm Tom Steyer, who is insane, 268 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: But this guy's got two billion dollars, he's gonna listen 269 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: to a pips weeek like Xavier. But Sarah, excuse me, 270 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: how the er Bakaria. It's like, Buddy, I get two 271 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: billion dollars, I'm a double digits. Because the televised debate 272 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: is the largest audience you're ever going to get. Now, 273 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: because there's nine weeks to go before the election, you're 274 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: not going to get too many chances to be in 275 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,959 Speaker 1: front of hundreds of thousands, maybe a million or two. 276 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen, not just the debate, but all 277 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: the clips that will run on social media, and that'll 278 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: hit many more millions. You give that up. Plus you'd 279 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: be able to take it right to the faces of 280 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,239 Speaker 1: the two Republicans who are beating your ass. Right now, 281 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: you've got four Democrats, most of them have served in 282 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: office either on a state or federal level, and they're 283 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: getting one eighth of the vote of either of the 284 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: two Republican candidates. I mean, how in California, right, Democrats 285 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: out ranked Republicans two to one in the voter roles 286 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: and you're a clown at two percent and you got 287 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: nine people in front of you, and you're making demands 288 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: that well, if they don't take me, nobody should go 289 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: to the debate. And I guess everybody has said yes 290 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: to this, all the other Democrats. Yeah, you're right, we 291 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: shouldn't go. Well, fine, don't campaign. And I'm thinking, what 292 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: kind of mass suicide pack did they sign? I mean, 293 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: they're all disasters. Don't get me wrong, They're all terrible candidates. 294 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: I mean, missus potato Head. Seriously, I wake up. I 295 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: look at the TV and it says missus potato Head 296 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: is the new governor. I don't know what I do 297 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: to myself. I think self harm. I might name myself. 298 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: I might cut off a body part. Oh no, please 299 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: don't do that. I don't know which one I know 300 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: which one you wouldn't and and and Styr's nuts and 301 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: a swallowell and his Chinese spy, and uh, nobody knows 302 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,959 Speaker 1: where he lives God, which is why none of them 303 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: are doing well because they're all come across as crazy losers. 304 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 3: They do. 305 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: But I that they try to promise, oh, because of diversity. 306 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: This is what's wrong. You're proving what's wrong with diversity. 307 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: Do you want people to vote? You want the right 308 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: to the debate because based on the color of your skin. Seriously, 309 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: you think you're entitled to certain votes because of the 310 00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: color of your skin, except you're really really soccer campaigning. 311 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: You have this and nothing that the only thing all 312 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: of them campaign about is uh, I hate Trump. That 313 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: that's you got. You got to hate people, and that's 314 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: their message. I hate Trump. And then I read today 315 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: this washed up loser in the La Time, Steve Lopez, 316 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: who writes a series of columns on what it's like 317 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: to deal with the aging process. That's been his stick 318 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. And now I see that, 319 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's time that Lopez gets sent off 320 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: to one of Gavin Newsom's fake hospices. He says, well, 321 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: basically the column I'll save you the trouble. It's like, well, 322 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: it's not really gonna matter because in case Steve Hilton 323 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: or Chad Bianco actually get elected, the Democrats will just 324 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,719 Speaker 1: we'll we'll just recall them in a few months.

There, 326 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: they'll say, fine, we don't want to violate the diversity 327 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: pledge we all made.

Southwest has 365 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: a customer of size policy. A customer of size that 366 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: is the latest euphemism for a fat person. Customer service agents, 367 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: they say, are singling people out for their appearance, and 368 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: then they force you to buy another seat. Well, where 369 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: are you going to put the rest of you? 370 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 2: Then? 371 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,959 Speaker 1: If you can't fit in one seat and it's all 372 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: lopping over the arm rest, do I have to sit 373 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: underneath you?

It's because they changed the policy, 386 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: because I've had I've had large people walpping. I spency 387 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: guys because at least women mostly are much more hygienic, 388 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: but guys are.
