Speaker 3: All this week NonStop talk about California and redistricting from

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 3: the White House. President Trump today in the Oval Office,

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 3: suggested that he might challenge California's newly redrawn congressional maps. Now,

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 3: as you recall, last week, the state Legislature, the Assembly

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 3: of the Senate, and then the governor all made it

9
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 3: so that there will be a special election in November

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: to let voters approve jerry mandered congressional seats that lean

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: Democrat on purpose for the purposes of electing more Democrats

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: to the House of Representatives, to block President Trump in

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: his second two years, or start the impeachment process.

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: Here's President Trump.

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 4: Well, I think I'm going to be filing a lawsuit

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 4: pretty soon, and I think we're going to be verse success.

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 4: We're going to be following it through the Department of Justice.

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 5: That's going to happen.

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: Mike Columbo's a partner with the Dylan Law Group. He

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: joins us.

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 3: Now where there's so many talk of suits and they

22
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: go back and forth whether or not this is constitutional

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: what the governor is doing, whether or not California can

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 3: do this. Now the President weighs in, he wants to

25
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 3: sue bring us up to speed on the legalities of

26
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: what is possible.

27
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 5: Good morning, Leuid, Thanks for having me on the show today.

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 5: If we have to talk about that, So yeah, I

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 5: represented a group of people, legislators and others last week

30
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 5: who filed the first lawsuit. What we were saying then

31
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 5: is that the legislation that the California Legislature was ramming

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 5: through to make this.

33
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 6: Happen was breaking the rules.

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 5: In the constitution that govern how the legislature.

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 6: Can even make laws.

36
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 5: And specifically, there's a piece of the constitution that the

37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 5: people put there that says if the legislature is going

38
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 5: to consider a new law, they got to put it

39
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 5: on the books for thirty days before they can do anything.

40
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 5: Next the people a chance to see what they're up to. Right,

41
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 5: And last week, if you guys saw they brought this thing.

42
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 5: They published it on Monday, and they immediately went to

43
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 5: committee and started working on it, and it was it

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 5: was law by Thursday. So as soon as they brought that,

45
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 5: they brought that legislation into the Assembly on.

46
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 6: Monday.

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 5: We were in court that night to say that they

48
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 5: had they violated this constitutional law which gives the people

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 5: a right to see what the legislature is doing.

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 6: So that was last week.

51
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, let's say.

52
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: With that, let's stick suit with that for a minute,

53
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: because that's striking to me that any judge, even even

54
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: if a left leaning or a progressive thinking judge, you know,

55
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 3: whether or not you utilize gimmickry in the legislative process, says,

56
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: you know, ran through piece of legislation that has to

57
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: do with I don't know, right, turn on red or something.

58
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 3: This is redistricting, reapportionment. So certainly a thirty day process,

59
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: a thirty dagh review period.

60
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: Would be necessary.

61
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: How can a judge possibly come to the decision that

62
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: now this is all right and proper?

63
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 6: Well, you know, your your guess is as good as mine.

64
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, the decision we got explained it in a single sentence,

65
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 5: which which ended with the phrase relief is not available

66
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 5: at this time, and so we don't have a real

67
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 5: explanation of what the California Supreme Court was was thinking.

68
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 6: You know, there's when you when you introduce a new.

69
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 5: Law, there's really only you know two points of time

70
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 5: that that that really matter, right, It's it's it's it's

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 5: between the time you introduce it and when you sign

72
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 5: it into law, and it's afterwards.

73
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 6: Well, they said that before.

74
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 5: The governor signed it was not the right time. So

75
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 5: yesterday we filed another lawsuit and we raised the point

76
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 5: again basically asking Okay, now is this the right time?

77
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 5: So we've put that question back before them in a

78
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 5: second lawsuit that we filed yesterday, along with about three

79
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 5: other significant constitutional violations.

80
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: Does any of this I mean, is this going to

81
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 3: be on the ballot or not? I mean we're trying

82
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: to what's the timeframe? When does the ballots have to

83
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 3: be printed? Like how much time do we have to

84
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: get this at least halted?

85
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, So in the lawsuit that we filed yesterday, we

86
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 5: raised four arguments for why the court should yank this

87
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 5: off the ballot, four ways that we think that it

88
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 5: violates the constitution. We alerted the court that we need

89
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 5: an answer in two weeks. It's it's, you know, our

90
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 5: estimation that if you go much beyond two weeks, you

91
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 5: know they're already going to have to start printing and

92
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 5: mailing ballots. Shortly after that, and you know that's it's.

93
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 6: Part of our argument.

94
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 5: Redistricting is a massive under I mean, an election is

95
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 5: a massive undertaking. Redistricting is a massive undertaking. In addition

96
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 5: to ramming through the redistricting process, which you know happened

97
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 5: in secret, you're now also putting California's counties right between

98
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 5: a rock and a hard place. They are going to

99
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 5: be scrambling to get this thing ready on the ballots

100
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 5: and ready for a special election that they weren't planning for.

101
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 5: So that's why we've said, you know, we need an

102
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 5: answer in two weeks to these questions.

103
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: That's a great point. I mean there is.

104
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: I mean there's certainly an impact democratically, there's an impact ethically.

105
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: With respect to if this is even appropriate.

106
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: There's a financial impact of counties because because of this

107
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 3: completely partisan idea, partisan effort and partisan thrust, it's having

108
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: an economic impact on counties that otherwise we're not planning

109
00:05:59,240 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 3: on budgeting for this.

110
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 6: Oh it's horrible.

111
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 5: We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars right in

112
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 5: a state that is in an embarrassingly bad budget deficit,

113
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 5: a state facing homelessness and in other issues that is

114
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 5: screaming for money and attention.

115
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 6: We are being distracted by.

116
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 5: This, and it is siphoning off money that you could

117
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 5: be used, both private and public money. I'm talking about

118
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 5: hundreds of millions of dollars of private money as well

119
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 5: as public money that could have been put to better use.

120
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 5: It's a disgrace and it's a shame.

121
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 3: What do you expect out of the Justice Department from

122
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 3: the White from the Trump administration? He said yesterday that

123
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: he's looking at it. What can they do from a

124
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: federal level?

125
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 5: Well, you know, unfortunately I don't know's I learned about

126
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 5: it when everybody else did. I'm not involved in their

127
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 5: thought process. There are limited tools that the government has

128
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 5: at its disposal, you know, the the Federal Constitution and

129
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 5: federal statutes that they enforce. You know, they are potentially

130
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 5: strong tools, but we're also limited at the same time.

131
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 5: You know, they they they could try to put together

132
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 5: a few different arguments. I'm not really sure what ones

133
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 5: they're looking at and whether those are arguments that they

134
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 5: would bring now or they would be held in reserve

135
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 5: until after the election. So I think we're all probably

136
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 5: gonna learn more about that shortly. But it's not something

137
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 5: that I'm actually in the loop on.

138
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: Michael lumba partner with the Dylan Law Group, in on

139
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: this from the get go. Thanks for spending some time

Speaker 3: with us, keep up the fight, keep us posted.

141
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: We'll be in touch with you.

142
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:54,920

00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 6: A great day.

146
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: All right. When we come back, we'll get into this.

147
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 3: It's a real petulant nature on the part of Governor

148
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom to just drive through this jerry mandard idea

149
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: and is it beginning to have a little bit of

150
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: political blowback.

151
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it next.

Speaker 1: Court to try and stop this on a number of

160
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: different points. The thirty day point was the strongest one

161
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: for me.

162
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 3: So the way this works, and it's interesting it was

163
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: Democrats originally that were really into the hole, slow everything

164
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 3: down game. You weren't supposed to ram things through, And

165
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 3: so they had this idea that everything had to be

166
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 3: reviewed for thirty days so that the people had a

167
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: chance to look at legislation before their representatives voted on

168
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: it and the governors signed it. Now that's a bit specious.

169
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 3: Nobody actually reads legislation. Lobbyists read legislation. Now, nothing wrong

170
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 3: with that. You know, lobbyist is.

171
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: A dirty word, except when he's your lobbyist.

172
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 3: Right, So, if you're a doctor and there is legislation

173
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 3: that affects your practice and the California Medical Association is

174
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 3: in their lobbying, in other words, looking at the law

175
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 3: to make sure it doesn't hurt your practice, then that's

176
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: good for you.

177
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: So then you're happy to have a lobbyist.

178
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 5: Right.

179
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: If you're a nurse and the Californian.

180
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 3: Nursing Association is in there making sure that they're not

181
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: changing your situation such that you have to work more

182
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: for less, then that's a good lobbyist. So it's okay

183
00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 3: that people who are experts at reading legislative plans are

184
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 3: looking at this stuff, and also advocacy groups will be

185
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 3: looking at it. My friend Carl Demayo Reform California. They

186
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: look at every piece of legislation and.

187
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: Then they go on places like hey, if I to

188
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: tell you all about it, what's really in the details.

189
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 3: So I don't have a problem with lobbyists getting involved

190
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: so that they can report back to their constituency, which

191
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 3: is usually some kind of business interest or parent interest

192
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: or whatever, to say, hey, they're about to change this law.

193
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: You need to stop them. So we do need a

194
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: little bit of time. There should be no rush. Now,

195
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: keep in mind, the governor has been very clear that

196
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 3: he believes we are in a state of emergency, that

197
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: democracy is in peril, that this is it. It's the

198
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: same old nonsense that we heard during the campaign that

199
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: if Trump becomes president, he'll be a dictator on day one.

200
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: If Trump wins this election, there'll be no more elections.

201
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: If Trump beats Kama Harris, then we won't have a

202
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: United States anymore.

203
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: Remember all that stuff, and then Trump went on to

204
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: win the election, all seven swing states and the popular vote.

205
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: The story on Wednesday morning after the Tuesday that election

206
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: wasn't that Trump won, it was that it wasn't even close.

207
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: So now fast forward, how are we doing here? Trump

208
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 3: has been president for two hundred and eighteen days. We're

209
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 3: only two hundred and eighteen days into this Trump presidency,

210
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 3: and they've run out.

211
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: Of new things to throw at him. So now they've

212
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: gone full circle.

213
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 3: Now they're back to he's a danger to democracy, and

214
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 3: the National Guard just proves it. Even though the National

215
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: Guard has made Washington d C the safest Washington d

216
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: C has been in forty years.

217
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: They haven't had a homicide.

218
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 3: In seven days and they used to have multiple homicides

219
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 3: a night.

220
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: Carjacking down eighty three percent.

221
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 3: I don't know what the carjacking number was, but if

222
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: it's down eighty three percent, that had to be at

223
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 3: least eighty three carjackings or one hundred to count.

224
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: So whatever the numbers are, they are.

225
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 3: Way better than they were before he took control of

226
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 3: the police department there in Washington, DC. So like nothing

227
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: bad is happening, and everything that is happening is to

228
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 3: the betterment of whatever the model is, whether it's the

229
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 3: people that live in DC, whether it is the people

230
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: negotiating trade agreements with India or Germany or South Korea,

231
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: whatever the conditions are. If you have a retirement fund.

232
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 3: He got a four oh one K five twenty nine.

233
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 3: Whatever's going on. Things are better. So now Democrats to

234
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: maintain the Trump Derangement syndrome level of hysteria to the

235
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 3: Democrat base. Keep in mind Democrats are only talking to

236
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: their base right now in California. They have to go

237
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 3: back to Trump is a dictator and just look at

238
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: the way he's federalized DC.

239
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: That's gonna happen to you.

240
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 3: Next, he's gonna have a Trump National Guardsman in your driveway.

241
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: It's gonna be in every city.

242
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: He's going to take control of Democrat run cities, just

243
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: like it did Washington, DC.

244
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: Like all of this ridiculous hysteria to.

245
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 3: Get every Democrat member of the State Assembly and every

246
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 3: Democrat State Senator all riled up, because they tend to

247
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 3: be pretty hysterical people.

248
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: If you talk to any of them.

249
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 3: To think that if I don't take an extreme action

250
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 3: here and eliminate the thirty day period and work around

251
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: the rules to get this legislation through to Jerrymander California,

252
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: then Trump is just going to to take over Los Angeles,

253
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, and the Democrats really believe this.

254
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,599
Speaker 1: I mean, they are really that deranged.

255
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: Now, I still maintain my original position, and that is

256
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: this is too inside baseball for people to understand. Redistricting apportionment,

257
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 3: congressional district, district lines, independent citizen commissions. That is deep

258
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: inside baseball. And I don't think the average Republican Democrat

259
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: are independent in California know or care to know. And

260
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: when people don't know or care to know, they vote no.

261
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,239
Speaker 3: So there is a couple of tools in the toolbox

262
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 3: at Shirley Weber's office, the Secretary of State. They can

263
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 3: mislead and miss word the ballot proposition so that a

264
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: no vote means yes. They have done that in the past,

265
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: and they might have to hear. We'll see, but it's

266
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 3: I still think it's a hard sell. I think that

267
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: most people are just.

268
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 6: Like it.

269
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: Just it's it's so hard to understand, even for people

270
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: that enjoy politics and political science and public policy. It's

271
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: just it's one of the boringest things out there. District lines.

272
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 3: It has no sex appeal to it. There's no music

273
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: in the narrative. It's just beat. It's just really beat stuff.

274
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 3: So I do think the governor is gonna have a

275
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: hard time. But the Trump administration said that they are

276
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: interested in filing a suit against California.

277
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 4: I think I'm going to be filing a lawsuit pretty soon,

278
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 4: and I think we're going to be very successful in it.

279
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 4: We're going to be filing it through the Department of Justice.

280
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 4: That's going to happen.

281
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: So we'll see what comes next.

282
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 8: Just maybe the judge said that that was okay to

283
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 8: do that in the regis drinking effort by not doing

284
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 8: the thirty days because the public is gonna have to

285
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 8: vote on it to begin with in November, so they

286
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 8: will have plenty of times and they want to vote

287
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 8: it down and then they hand then thirty day thing

288
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 8: here is just freaking stupid.

289
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: Well, why why what's the rush? Why the rush?

290
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: Why it's the twenty six so thirty days would be

291
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 3: the twenty fifth of September. Like, if we're going to

292
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 3: have an emergency action, then why do we have to

293
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: obey of the forty five day rule before the election? Like,

294
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: let's if everything's an emergency, I mean, if this is

295
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: all just so important, then you would argue that you

296
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: need more time to bring everybody up to speed, not

297
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 3: less time. Anytime something is rushed in politics, it's bad.

298
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 3: I used to work for Congresswoman Mary Bono, and she

299
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 3: had a rule because in Congress, they're constantly rushing you.

300
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: They constantly want you to make a decision quickly. They

301
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 3: are constantly pushing you in a meeting and out of

302
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 3: a meeting. They're constantly rushing everything. Get everything in, Come on.

303
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 3: That's Harry, Harry, Harry, Hair Harry. And my boss, congress

304
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: Woman Mary Bono, always told me, lou tell them the

305
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 3: answer is no, whatever the question is. If they have

306
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 3: to know right now, the answer is no, whatever the

307
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 3: question is. And that was a damn good rule, and

308
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 3: as voters, we should have the exact same attitude. Louke

Speaker 3: burning and desecration, somebody lit the American flag on fire

316
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: right in front of the White House.

317
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, while being because I expressed my first Amendment right

318
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 9: to burn the United States flag in public, not causing

319
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 9: harm or causing any danger to any citizens their personnel.

320
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 2: In the area.

321
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 3: Oh guy, So he is Jay Carrey. He's a twenty

322
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 3: year combat veteran, disabled American veteran. He wanted to defy

323
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 3: President Trump's executive order, saying it's a violation of the

324
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 3: First Amendment rights.

325
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: Here he is live doing it.

326
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 4: Now.

327
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: He's one of these guys. You know, these protesters.

328
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 3: They have the megaphone, but then they also have like

329
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 3: the police walkie talkie strapped to like their suspender or

330
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 3: right by their collar. And it looks like the old

331
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 3: ADAM twelve squad car handset. It's like square with a

332
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 3: button on its side with the lines for the microphone.

333
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, so he's one of you know exactly what

334
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking about.

335
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 3: These are like very deranged people with the microphone and

336
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: the handset.

337
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: And here he is right in front of the White

338
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: House lighting the flag for.

339
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 10: Every single one of you American citizens. We burned the

340
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 10: flag in protests. You got President feel that it is

341
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 10: right to do whatever he wants, think.

342
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: Whatever he wants he wants, regardless of the warriors. That's right.

343
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 3: The Secret Service came right up to him and pulled

344
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 3: out the fire extinguisher being detained, and then he was detained. Okay,

345
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 3: So for all of your First Amendment advocates out there, uh,

346
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 3: you cannot light a fire in front of the White House.

347
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: You can't just burn trash.

348
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 3: You can't burn your clothing, you can't burn the American flag,

349
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 3: you can't burn anything like, regardless of what you are burning.

350
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 3: You cannot violate the local fire code that prohibits fires.

351
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: In federal parks like you can.

352
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: Only if he had burned the American flag in.

353
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: The little habachi grill, it would have been okay. They

354
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: didn't do that. And also you're not allowed to spray

355
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: lighter fluid on the ground in front of the White House.

356
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 3: According to the Secret Service, Secret Service whose fire distinguisher

357
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 3: to put out the flag. The arrest was made under

358
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 3: existing park regulations and not the new executive order, so

359
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 3: he couldn't do it yesterday or the day before.

360
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: Everybody screams about the First Amendment.

361
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: The founding fathers did not intend for maniacs with megaphones

362
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 3: to pour lighter fluid on the ground in front of

363
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 3: the White House. Which is there's a park right there,

364
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 3: and there's children there and things could catch fire.

365
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: So that's not what you're supposed to do.

366
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 3: And what kills me is all these learned scholars go

367
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: on CNN and talk about the First Amendment and the

368
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 3: Supreme Court and pass court decisions and beat babap baboo

369
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: about how.

370
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: Oh, this is so silly.

371
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 3: The president is just show voting, because this is so clear,

372
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: it's unequivocal First Amendment right right to expression. And then

373
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: they celebrate somebody who is clearly mentally ill or certainly

374
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: mentally unstable, or at the very least doesn't know how

375
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: to behave in a park, and they hitched their.

376
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: Caboos onto these crazy trains. And that, I mean, let's

377
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: make the mistake.

378
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 3: I recognize his service, and I appreciate that he's a

379
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 3: combat veteran, and he has every right to dislike the

380
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 3: president or the direction the president's taking this country. You

381
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 3: just can't light things on fire and think that you're

382
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 3: celebrating your First Amendment right. And the Secret Service did

383
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 3: not detain him. The Parks Department detained him. The Secret

384
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 3: Service protected the White House and the people that had

385
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 3: children there that were you.

386
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: Know, touring the White House and the White House grounds.

387
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: So enough with this whole First Amendment thing. I believe

388
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: in the First Amendment. I believe in it's in the

389
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 3: rights that it protects. Because I make a living exercising

390
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 3: the First Amendment. I can't just do whatever I want.

391
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 3: You can't just do whatever you want. And the Trump

392
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 3: arrangement syndrome is off the charts. And they literally spent

393
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 3: most of TV last night celebrating this guy and saying, see, look,

394
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 3: this is what you get. This is authoritarian. Is him

395
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 3: on display? This is what Trump wants. He wants to

396
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 3: stop people from having First Amendment rights.

397
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: And there you have it. There's a twenty year veteran.

398
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 3: My goodness, look at this guy being detained for exercising

399
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 3: his right of protest. Nothing more American and protesting American

400
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 3: elected leadership and the direction it's taking the country.

401
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: And it's like, okay, hold on, relax, take a chill pill.

402
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: As it turns out, what he did was illegal, way

403
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 3: before the executive order.

404
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: What he did was dangerous. What he did was a

405
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: violation of the local ordinance.

406
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 3: Not to mention, the Secret Service was not that happy

407
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 3: with him, but they, like they never tell you that

408
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 3: All they want to do is show voted.

409
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: Him to try and make the president look bad.

410
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm being detained because I expressed my First Amendment

411
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 9: right to burn the United States flag in public, not

412
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 9: causing harm or causing any danger to any citizen the

413
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 9: personnel in the area.

414
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: You are incorrect.

415
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 3: You burn the American flag, you do thirty days for

416
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 3: every star on that flag.

417
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: That's a lot of math.

418
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 11: Hey, lou Trump is the master at getting the Democrats

419
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 11: to defend the indefensible. Most people in the country don't

420
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 11: want people burn in our flag. Thanks for your show man,

421
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 11: it's great.

422
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate that.

423
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 3: I agree with you that he is a master at

424
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 3: getting Democrats to defend the defensible. Yesterday they were defending

425
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 3: Kilmar that kill Maar should stay, and Democrats were like, yeah,

426
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 3: I mean kill Maar should stay. Well, what about his

427
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 3: MS thirteen gang affiliations? What about him striking his spouse

428
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 3: and then violating the temporary restraining order, both of which

429
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 3: would make you instantly deportable.

430
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: If you were here on a valid visa, which kill

431
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: Mar was not.

432
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 3: Right, they he is great at causing Democrats to find

433
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 3: themselves in a position of defending illegals all day, every day,

434
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 3: and now they are defending Mayhem at a park in

435
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 3: front of the White House.

436
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: Burning the American flags should not be allowed. You burned

437
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: the American flag, we burn you.

438
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 5: Oh don't make sense to me?

439
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: Aye?

440
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 4: Right?

441
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: All right, well, hot water burn baby. I appreciate the call.

442
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 3: All right, when we come back, look remember where you

443
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 3: were on this day, the twenty sixth of August, because

444
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 3: it is a day that will live in infamy with

445
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: res back to pop culture. Everybody got excited to hear

446
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: of the nuptials over Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey, and

447
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: I would be remiss if we didn't at least bring

448
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 3: it up and celebrate it a little bit.

449
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: As a lot of hater a lot of haters out there.

450
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure why.

451
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 3: It was kind of a thing during the campaign because

452
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 3: we were not sure where those two were politically. But

453
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 3: there was some suspicion and then it's like, well, what

454
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: about Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany Mahomes, she's on the Trump train?

455
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: Well? Is she she just liked somebody else being on

456
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: the Trump train?

457
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 3: Is that why they're not in the booth together? So

458
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 3: that was always kind of fun to see if we

459
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 3: could figure it all out.

460
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: But those days are over.

461
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 3: Trump won and those two are still in love and

462
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 3: now they're married or they're getting married, now they're engaged.

463
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 3: That's wonderful. We should all be excited. The question is

464
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 3: she's thirty five years old. New reports came out earlier

465
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 3: today that at where's it here by twenty thirty, So

466
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: five years from now, nearly half of US women between

467
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 3: the ages of twenty five and forty four will be single,

468
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 3: half of all women between twenty five and forty four

469
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: will be single, and Swift is thirty five, So she's

470
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 3: depending on when they.

471
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: Actually have that ceremony and say I do should be

472
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: very close to the.

473
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 3: North end of that bracket because she's so popular, and

474
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 3: because swifties tend to be around that age well, probably

475
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: younger than twenty five, but women twenty five forty four single.

476
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: That's the swiftye right there.

477
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 3: Is she single handedly reversing course and making marriage cool again.

478
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it all coming up next. Louke Penrose

479
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: for John Cobelt on KFI AM six forty.

480
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cope else on demand from KFI

481
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 7: AM sixty.

482
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: Lou Penrose in for John Cobelt on the John coblt

483
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 3: Show this week coming up following the news at two

484
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 3: new numbers about this high speed rail now ninety billion dollars,

485
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 3: ninety billion dollars, and it's not going to be ready

486
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 3: until let's see here, it'll be done forever, like, not

487
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 3: until forever. We're yeah, thirty nine, twenty thirty nine, forget it,

488
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 3: it's over. By the year twenty thirty nine, there will

489
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 3: be no uber drivers, all the cars will be self driving,

490
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 3: all the trucks will be self driving. By twenty thirty nine,

491
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 3: you probably won't even be allowed to drive a car

492
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 3: on the regular roads because it'll mess up with the

493
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 3: algorithms of the Uber. There's like, there's a lot of

494
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 3: thought out there that we were on horses for thousands

495
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 3: of years and within ten years there wasn't a horse

496
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 3: allowed on the road and everybody had a car and

497
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 3: people had horses.

498
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: They're like, well, wait a minute, what about the horse.

499
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 3: So people that want to ride their horse go to

500
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 3: a stable, and that will be the future of your car.

501
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 3: Like the self driving cars will take you everywhere you

502
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 3: want to go, and it'll be very fast. Because why

503
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 3: would I mean, a processor is a far better driver

504
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: than the human brain, So it will be unsafe to

505
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 3: have humans on the road while computer processing is going

506
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: on getting you back and forth to lax. So the

507
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: only place for you to enjoy your new BMW will

508
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: be like some somewhere, and that's what we'll have. Like

509
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 3: how we have horse stables now where people that own

510
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 3: horses go and spend the Saturday afternoon with their horse,

511
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 3: and they go ride the horse around for fun and recreation.

512
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: That's what you'll do with your car.

513
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 3: There'll be a lot more of these little racetracks around

514
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 3: where you can go and drive in a circle and

515
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 3: turn left and like that will be the future. And

516
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 3: if that's true, certainly by twenty thirty nine that'll be

517
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 3: the case.

518
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: That's how quickly things are moving.

519
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,479
Speaker 3: Somebody explained to me that science and technology in the

520
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 3: next twenty years will it'll speed up by a factor

521
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 3: of at least four, but perhaps by a factor of seven.

522
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 3: So science and technology will be in the next twenty

523
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 3: years at least four times more advanced than it is today,

524
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 3: but maybe seven times more advanced, which means arithmetically, twenty

525
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 3: forty five is as far ahead of us signs and

526
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 3: technology wise as eighteen ninety was backward. So think about

527
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 3: what the average person did in eighteen ninety and try

528
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 3: to explain to the person in eighteen ninety what you

529
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 3: did this morning, Like you woke up to an alarm

530
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 3: clock that wasn't invented yet, and check your iPhone that

531
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: wasn't invented.

532
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: Yet, to take a shower with hot water that.

533
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 3: Wasn't invented yet, to get in a car that wasn't invented,

534
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 3: to drive to an airport that wasn't invented, to take

535
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 3: a plane that wasn't invented to another city to watch

536
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 3: a movie that wasn't invented, or watching a movie on

537
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 3: the plane, or now watching a movie on your phone.

538
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 3: Like the person in eighteen ninety could not possibly comprehend

539
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 3: your day today from a science and technological standpoint.

540
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: Now eighteen ninety nine. I mean they were not.

541
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: So and sophisticated, but the science and technology component of their.

542
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: Lives you could never explain, you could.

543
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 3: I remember me once trying to explain to my dad

544
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 3: what an iTunes gift card was. My dad was a

545
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: seventy five year old Italian immigrant who barely spoke English,

546
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 3: and I was trying to explain to what an iTunes

547
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 3: gift card was like. That is three factors of technological

548
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 3: fantasy to an Italian old man, right, So you couldn't

549
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 3: possibly explain to somebody in eighteen ninety what you did today.

550
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 3: How it's how could you possibly get the point across?

551
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 3: They could even conceive of such things as phones, let

552
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 3: alone iPhones, let alone airplanes. So for us to even

553
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 3: consider what twenty forty five is going to be like

554
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 3: is impossible. It's just it's it's it's my numbing and

555
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 3: it's impossibility.

556
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: So I do believe that the.

557
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: High speed rail is just gonna fade away because they're

558
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 3: gonna like people, no one's gonna take it anywhere.

559
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: No one's gonna take city buses anywhere anymore.

560
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 3: And you could probably get the San Francisco or Vegas

561
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 3: in a much shorter period of time because all the

562
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 3: self driving cars will all be moving so much faster.

563
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 3: Read where's my jetpack? And you'll see. But I appreciate it.

564
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: This is a grown man burning this flag in the park.

565
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 5: He's like, what fifty five years old, almost sixty?

566
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: I mean, grow up, dude. I think he's a grown man.

567
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 9: Yeh, being detained because I expressed my First Amendment right

568
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 9: to burn the United States flag in public, not causing harm.

569
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 9: We're causing any danger to any fitted into personnel in

570
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 9: the area.

571
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 8: I hate Donald Trump and Gavin Newsome, but you shouldn't

572
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 8: be able to burn an American flag. I do stand

573
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 8: behind that.

574
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call.

575
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 3: I always think about that when these individuals are aged right,

576
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 3: and I mean when it comes to facing a year's

577
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 3: sentence for a federal crime and you're like, you know,

578
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: thirty five, forty five, fifty five years old, what that

579
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 3: conversation is going to be like with your cellmate.

580
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: I talked about this yesterday.

581
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 3: Some of the people that are facing prison time for

582
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 3: throwing rocks at ice vehicles a couple of weeks ago.

583
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 3: Those guys that were in downtown LA throwing rocks at

584
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 3: ice vehicles. That one guy that was throwing rocks at

585
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 3: the ice vehicle outside the marijuana farm, they were like

586
00:33:54,520 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 3: in their late thirties. It's bizarre to me that people.

587
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: The one guy that.

588
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 3: Was in Monrovia, he was in trouble for nailing nails

589
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 3: into the tires of the ice units. At the Rancho

590
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 3: Cucamonga hotel where the ICE agents were spending the night,

591
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: and they had all the ICE agents parked in the

592
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 3: parking lot, and all the protesters were out there and

593
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 3: one guy and I don't know how he thought he

594
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 3: wasn't on camera, but since the security camera in the

595
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: parking lot. But these people are idiots, and they got

596
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 3: him for defacing ICE vehicles, flattening the tires.

597
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: And he was fifty four years old. Goodness gracious, so

598
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: time to grow up, all right.

599
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 3: So when we come back state Senator to Tony Stricklum

600
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 3: will join us. He says, Hey, this whole high speed

601
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 3: reil thing is for the birds, always has been, and

602
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 3: really what we need to do is send it back

603
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 3: to the voters. Really, the voters need to revisit this

604
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 3: because we're just spending money like crazy. You do get

605
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 3: to a point where at the point and overturn right rubicon,

606
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 3: At what point do you just.

607
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: Build and make the little bit work?

608
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 3: But just I don't know to get from point A

609
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 3: to point B, and I don't know what you do

610
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 3: around it. Maybe turn it into some kind of an

611
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 3: amusement park ride or something you've already spent so much money,

612
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 3: do you continue throwing good money after bad And who

613
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 3: is going to take the high speed rail in twenty

614
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 3: thirty nine.

615
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: It really is a question that we have to answer.

616
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 3: And when you consider the amount of federal dollars that

617
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 3: are going into it and the fact that the federal

618
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 3: government is holding back on those dollars, this could free

619
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 3: up an awful lot of money in California to do

620
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 3: so many of the things that.

621
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: We need to do.

622
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 3: But we always seem to be fighting problems that are

623
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 3: behind us instead of saving money preparing for in this case,

624
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 3: transportation challenges that are ahead of us. It would have

625
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: been nice to be able to take a high speed

626
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 3: rail from Los Angeles to San Francisco like twenty years ago.

627
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 3: But I don't know that anybody wants to take a

628
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 3: high speed rail to San Francisco now. And you could

629
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,920
