All right, you still have 24 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: a chance at money the three twenty. We'll reveal it. 25 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: The keyword, of course, in case you don't know The 26 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: big news this afternoon is that the ten Freeway apparently 27 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: was not as burnt up as they thought, and repairs 28 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 2: may only take three to five weeks instead of months, 29 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: and they may be able to open some lanes within 30 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: those weeks, some lanes of the ten Freeway near downtown LA. 31 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 2: Right now, we turn two important matters for California taxpayers. 32 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: John Coopoul, the president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, 33 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: is coming back on the show to update us about 34 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: this lawsuit brought by Gavin Newsom and the California Legislature 35 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 2: trying to have a pretty important ballot measure thrown off 36 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 2: of next November's ballot. November twenty twenty four, we're set 37 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 2: to vote on the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act, 38 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: and it's an important one and they better not win 39 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: this lawsuit to rip this off the ballot. So let's 40 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: get the update from John Capoul. John, welcome back to 41 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: the show. 42 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 3: Hi, guys, how you doing. 43 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: We're good. Explain this Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act. 44 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: So this is supposed to be on the November twenty 45 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: twenty four ballot. We're supposed to vote on it, and 46 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: what does this do and why is it necessary. 47 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 3: It's already qualified for the twenty twenty four ballot, and 48 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 3: it was not easy qualifying because we had to get 49 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 3: the signatures during COVID and it was very difficult. We 50 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 3: actually wanted this on the twenty twenty two ballot and 51 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: missed that deadline. But it's very, very important. It's within 52 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: the tradition of Prop. Thirteen and all the other initiatives 53 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: that we've supported to protect the rights of taxpayers. It 54 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 3: would require that any state tax increase not only receive 55 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: the current required two thirds vote of each house of 56 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 3: the legislature, but would also have to be approved by 57 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 3: the statewide vote of the electorate. Now where would that 58 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 3: come into play, Well, think gas tax. Remember the gas 59 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 3: tax was the first major tax jammed through the legislature 60 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: with a two thirds vote of each house. No longer 61 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 3: could the supermajority of progressives in the legislature jam us 62 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 3: with tax increases without getting the permission of the statewide electorate. 63 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 3: And if anybody thinks that the gas tax would have 64 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: passed if it were put before the voters, I think 65 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 3: that's simply not true. It also closes some of the 66 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 3: court created loopholes. There's a few cases out there that 67 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 3: really decimated the two thirds vote requirement for local special taxes. 68 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: There was a case called the Upland case, and we 69 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 3: call it the Upland loophole. We close that, we close 70 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: other loopholes. We also require that taxes and fees may 71 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 3: not be imposed by unelected bureaucrats. If a city council member, 72 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 3: a member of the Board of supervisors, or a legislator 73 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 3: wants to increase taxes, they have to put their name 74 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 3: on it, they have to vote on it. No longer 75 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 3: can our elected officials hide behind bureaucrats in raising taxes. 76 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 3: Another important provision is ballot transparency. If there's something on 77 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 3: the ballot that raises a tax, it has to say 78 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: tax increases. And guys, I got to tell you. These 79 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: provisions seem common sense and simple, which they are, but 80 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 3: it has our political adversaries apoplectic. They hate the Taxpayer 81 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 3: Protection Act, as evidenced by this lawsuit and as evidenced 82 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 3: by them jamming through the legislature another measure for the 83 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four ballot that would effectively be a poison pill. Honestly, 84 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 3: the reason they're doing this is because they're seeing the 85 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 3: same polling we are and that is and if this 86 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 3: thing is on the ballot, it's going to pass. These 87 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 3: are all common sense requirements that are in the traditional 88 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 3: proposition thirteen, just to give voters and taxpayers some say 89 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 3: in how much they are taxed. And this is a 90 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 3: high tax state. They can't argue that they don't have 91 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: enough money. So we're fighting this. We've got some great 92 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 3: legal briefs in there. And by the way, the legal 93 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 3: theory that they're pursuing, they've got two arguments, both of 94 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 3: which are really, I hate to say it, they're silly. 95 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 3: They're actually silly. I think you know, they're not credible. 96 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 3: So the question is if the California Supreme Court upholds 97 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 3: the law, all the case law that's been out there, 98 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 3: then we win easily. Our one concern is if the 99 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 3: Supreme Court acts as a political body, then you know, 100 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 3: we could be in trouble. But if they just I 101 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 3: don't think they could do that in this case because 102 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 3: the case is so weak, and I think they would 103 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 3: be an uproar. If the California Supreme Court took a 104 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 3: duly qualified ballot measure, one that's very popular, and took 105 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: it off the ballot I think that would be that 106 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 3: would be result in a lot of negative press for 107 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 3: the court. 108 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: I'm even surprised that. 109 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 2: As the name of them, ballot measure has been already 110 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 2: approved the Taxpayer Protection and Government Account of Billy Act. 111 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: Usually they play with it that way by putting something 112 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 2: in there to scare the voters, to try to throw 113 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: off the positive votes. 114 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 3: No, that is our name for it. It's in the 115 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 3: title of the words. But you're right. The label they 116 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 3: will put on it will be kills puppies and kittens 117 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 3: and will cost a billion dollars. 118 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: But it doesn't do that right, No. 119 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 3: It doesn't kill puppies and kittens. 120 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: Just want to make sure you're right. 121 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,799 Speaker 3: And you know what, But this gets to the heart 122 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 3: of one of the elements of this, and that is 123 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 3: if it's a tax increase, it's got to be labeled. 124 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: The There's been a lot written about the politicization of 125 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 3: the ballot material, and even some of the progressive newspapers 126 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 3: like The Chronicle in the Bee have said the last 127 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 3: series of Attorney generals have really not done their fiduciary 128 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 3: obligation in providing voters with objective ballot material, and that's 129 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 3: another thing we'd like to see moving forward if it's 130 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: if they give us a really outrageous title. In summary, 131 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: we do have the opportunity to go to court if 132 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 3: it's way outside the bounds of what could be characterized 133 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 3: as fair. But you know, the courts will give the 134 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 3: attorney general some deference, but not complete deference. 135 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: So this lawsuit that Newsom is filed and the Attorney 136 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: general it goes before what court on what day? 137 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 3: Well, it's already before the court. It is not your 138 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 3: regular lawsuit, which begins in superior court. They filed what's 139 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 3: called an extraordinary writ directly in the California Supreme Court, 140 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 3: and that is allowed. It's rare, but it is allowed. 141 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 3: I think they're the biggest hurdle is that the court 142 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 3: has repeatedly said in previous cases that pre election review 143 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 3: is inappropriate. In other words, they have filed suit to 144 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 3: get this taken off the ballot before voters even have 145 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 3: a say. The courts have said, look, even if something 146 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: has a provision that we think is illegal or unconstitutional, 147 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 3: we're still going to let the voters vote on it, 148 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 3: and then you can bring your lawsuit later. There's a 149 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 3: lot of reasons the courts don't like to engage in 150 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 3: pre election review. One of them is, you know, if 151 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 3: the thing doesn't pass, then you don't want to waste 152 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 3: judicial resources. But one of the reasons I think the 153 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 3: governor and the legislature filed this lawsuit, that's because they 154 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 3: know that if it's on the ballot, it's going to pass. 155 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: Okay. One more thing, when is it being heard by 156 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court? When's they here? 157 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 3: There's been no hearing. It's very possible. In fact, I'm 158 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 3: keeping my fingers crossed that given the spurious nature of 159 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: this lawsuit, they will reject it with out a hearing. 160 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 3: They they do. If they do have a hearing, that 161 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 3: would be whenever the court wants to hear it, probably 162 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 3: the next few months. It's an extraordinary proceedings. Even if 163 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 3: they have a hearing, which they might want to do 164 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 3: just in deference to the governor, if they do, I 165 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 3: still think we win. I am cautiously optimistic that we 166 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 3: will beat them. 167 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 2: Would Newsom and Banta be in there arguing before the 168 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: State Supreme Court there's a hearing. 169 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 3: It's funny because the Attorney General is not involved. The 170 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 3: legislature without a vote of any Republicans, by the way, 171 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 3: just filed this lawsuit as the legislature and they're using 172 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 3: outside council and the governor put his name on it. 173 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,119 Speaker 3: So it's basically Newsome and the California Legislature versus the 174 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 3: Secretary of State. That is the ostensible defendant because they 175 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 3: would be the one to take it off the ballot. 176 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 3: But since where the proponents, we have filed the major briefing. 177 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: All right, John, always good to talk to you and 178 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: keep us updated. 179 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 3: Will do take care of gus. 180 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: John Capoul president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, And 181 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: this is important because next November that's the big presidential vote. 182 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 2: You could have something called the Taxpayer Protection and Government 183 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: Accountability Act. Sounds complicated, but it's very important and it's 184 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: going to restore key provisions of good old Prop. Thirteen 185 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: dealing with a lot of different things. And we have 186 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 2: Newsom in the legislature trying to block it from getting 187 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 2: on the ballot. So we'll see what the State Supreme 188 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: Court does. 189 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 190 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 191 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 2: Well, this just then, guests who took the stand in 192 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: his own trial in San Francisco David de de Pape. 193 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 2: The man is accused of clabbering Paul Pelosi. 194 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: With the hammer a year ago. 195 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 2: He took the stand, spent an hour up there is 196 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: there any audio of that, basically describing his descent into madness. No, 197 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 2: I don't even think there's cameras or anybody in the courtroom. 198 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: Just oh, too bad. I'd love to hear a federal trial. 199 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: This a mental pace like him, Try and explain why 200 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 2: he hammered Pam Pelosi. He explained that long before he 201 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 2: broke into the Pelosi's home, he considered himself to be 202 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 2: a left leaning politically left leaning. He thought September eleventh 203 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 2: was an inside job during George Bush's tenure in the 204 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: White House, and at one point he maintained a very 205 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,839 Speaker 2: strong anti Trump bias, believing the former president was nothing 206 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: but a puppet of the ruling class in Wall Street. 207 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: But then he started spending entire days watching YouTube and 208 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: listening to right leaning political podcasts while playing video games 209 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 2: in the garage. This is a nice life, isn't it. 210 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 2: This guy's in his thirties, isn't he. 211 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, every mother's dream. Huh that you know what 212 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: what's your son doing. He's playing video games listening to 213 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: crazy podcasts. That's the thing that terrified me the most 214 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: is I had three sons, is that one of them 215 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: would end up in a basement. 216 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 2: I'm obsessed with video game video game generally violent ones. Yes, yes, 217 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 2: and then listening to wacky podcasts. 218 00:11:58,760 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: Yes. 219 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 2: This was in a garage he called home in Richmond, 220 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 2: which is north of Oakland. I don't know these people, John, 221 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 2: He listened to right wing punded Tim Poole and James Lindsay. 222 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: I don't know who. 223 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 5: They never heard of him. 224 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: Well, that must be that must be bottom of the 225 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: barrel stuff. 226 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 2: So he explained that his first foray into America's cultural 227 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 2: war was through something called gammer Gate gamer gate gamer 228 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 2: gate a right wing harassment campaign against women and journalists 229 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 2: in the gaming industry. 230 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: Yes, because this one I know about the gamer Gate 231 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: female gener the female journalists. This was part of the 232 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: whole me too movement was going after all the misogyny 233 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: that goes on not only among gamers right because it 234 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: was a very exclusive male brotherhood to play games online 235 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 1: with each other, but at the at the gaming companies, 236 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: the companies that manufactured the games or designed the games, 237 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: that the entire thing was was toxic masculinity, and so 238 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: they would write these exposees onto how terrible it was 239 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: to be a woman working in the tech world, working 240 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: in gamer world. And so so these these players, you know, 241 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: mounted a campaign that was really nasty, I mean, you know, 242 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: online nastiness and other things that they did to torture 243 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: these journalists women. 244 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 2: Well, eventually he decided that the press was all about 245 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: getting Trump and they were lying about everything. He mentioned 246 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 2: Russia Gate, of course, and that turned out to be true. 247 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 2: That was all a deep state attempt to destroy the 248 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: Trump presidency. He bought up Pizzagate John and said that 249 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: the ruling class, the cabal, the people who control us 250 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 2: and run the media, are killing the quote tree of liberty. 251 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 2: I like that expression, the tree of liberty, tree of 252 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: where's the tree of liberty? 253 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: They don't know the Christmas Tree of liberty. 254 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 2: It was while listening to a right wing podcast that 255 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: he decided he learned of an unidentified woman listed in 256 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 2: court records as target Ion and described during the trial 257 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: as an anthropologist and professor of women in Gender Studies 258 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 2: at the University of Michigan. 259 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: Her work is prompted debate among feminists and the. 260 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 2: LGBTQ community, specifically around age of consent laws. He believed 261 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 2: the professor's research was prompting pedophilia and the molestation of children. Yeah, well, 262 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 2: she's just going to go to her home in San 263 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: Francisco that morning, but he considered the Pelosi's house more 264 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 2: accessible as a starting point. 265 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: He wanted to question her about QAnon. 266 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: And that's why he went there and said, if she 267 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 2: lies to me, I will break her kneecaps. 268 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: So the testimony was to prove that he's nuts. It's 269 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: like they and he. 270 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 2: Said he was going to use Pelosi to lure out 271 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: this Michigan professor. 272 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: Right, this is a weird defense that these attorneys have 273 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: come up with and that he's trying to implement with 274 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: his testimony. He's not pleading insanity, he's admitting to the crime, 275 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: not pleading insanity, but taking a middle ground of sorts, 276 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: saying I am really crazy. 277 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 5: Though. 278 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: I was motivated here because I thought all these terrible 279 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: things were going on in the government. So I was 280 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: trying to do a good thing, and I thought Pelosi 281 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: was a key player that I had to go. 282 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 2: After a lot of it apparently centers around that Pizzagate thing, 283 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 2: child abuse, and human trafficking. His next targets were supposed 284 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: to be Adam Schiff, Tom Hanks, George Soros, and Hunter Biden. 285 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 2: There's a collection all people he thought were contributing to 286 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: corruption and engaging in child abuse, in human traffic. There's 287 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 2: a lot of truth about the corruption when you go 288 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 2: into child abuse or sex abuse. 289 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: Now we've got Jeffrey Epstein looming behind them. Who knows 290 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: how many of these guys were customers, Like, would it 291 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: shocked you if Hunter Biden was a Jeffrey Epstein customer. 292 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 2: He said he did not want Pelosi to get hurt. 293 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: He gave Pelosi a squeeze on the shoulder just to 294 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 2: be reassuring. And again he didn't get hurt until the 295 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: police got there, opened the door, and they were fighting 296 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: over the hammer, and then the probably just smashed Pelosi 297 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 2: in the head with the hammer. 298 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, no, it's weird. It's like, I'm not really insane. 299 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: He didn't know what I was doing. I had a 300 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: good reason for what I was doing, my own good reasons. See, 301 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: this is where these excuse defenses have gone.

He did it, okay. 310 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: And then when you go to the big prison, you know, 311 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 2: maybe they've got two buildings. They've got one for the 312 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 2: criminals who are made rational decisions, and then they have 313 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 2: one for the mental patients who had some psychotic break. 314 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 2: And let you know, you can have the experts have 315 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 2: their committees and blue ribbon panels to decide what's what, 316 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 2: but just throw them permanently away.

No, and I just saw on one 398 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 2: of the cable channels that one of the rebels is saying, 399 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 2: we're still adding six trillion dollars to the debt over 400 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 2: the last few years. So this has got to stop. 401 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: So that's the basis of their bite holding out here, right, 402 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: which good point they have. 403 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: Now this update in a bit of a surprise. 404 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 2: Back on October twenty eighth, the University of Colorado Buffalos 405 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 2: came to the Rose Bowl to play UCLA in football. 406 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 2: All right, that's not the story. The story is some 407 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 2: of them got robbed. Somebody went into the Rose Bowl 408 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 2: locker room and took necklace's jewelry from some of the 409 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 2: Colorado players. We reported on this, and the coach of Colorado, 410 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 2: Dion Sanders, couldn't believe it. How does that happen? Of course, 411 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 2: everyone wondered about security. Well, it looks like they were 412 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 2: for Beaumont High School students, and they may have been 413 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 2: allowed to get in that locker room because they got 414 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 2: help from a security guard. What they cannot confirm is 415 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 2: whether or not. They were UCLA football recruits, which gave 416 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: them some kind of access behind the scenes. 417 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, or maybe they passed themselves off as that. Yeah. 418 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 2: They took three diamond plated necklaces with medallions, a pair 419 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 2: of headphones, and some football equipment. The reason we know 420 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 2: this to be true is some of the stole lions 421 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 2: have been returned. The parents mailed back some of the properties. 422 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 2: Does diamond and played it means they were expensive or 423 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 2: is that just a no diamond played? 424 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 6: It is not as expensive as the real deal. 425 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: Actually, you only have diamond that. 426 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 6: I don't like the fake. 427 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: I don't like the fake except your fur. 428 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 2: Police then recovered other items using the search warrant. They 429 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 2: didn't reveal exactly what they found, but well, they're still 430 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 2: looking into this. It appears that this was some probably 431 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 2: some school sponsored event. They got to go to the 432 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 2: game and somehow they got themselves into the locker room. 433 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 2: All the players are on the field and help themselves. 434 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,239 Speaker 2: For Beaumont High School students, yes, and the district. All 435 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 2: they say is we're very disappointed in them. Not we 436 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: are expelling them. We're embarrassing the entire school committing these 437 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 2: terrible acts. 438 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: Of fevery. No, well then we're just disappointed. Well, it's 439 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: La County and their juveniles. We've got to do.

God, this is what everybody uses now for 453 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 2: political differences. 454 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: Oh, they don't represent our core values.

He is behind the wheel 512 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 2: of his car as he whipped out his cell phone. 513 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 2: He is passing underneath the ten Freeway at Washington And 514 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 2: what do you know? On the left hand side is 515 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 2: a fire? Oh kidding, looks like a homeless crap is 516 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 2: on the little sidewalk on the underpass. And there's definitely 517 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,239 Speaker 2: flames roaring. See, not a huge fire, but a fire. Yeah, well, 518 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 2: you never know if it can become a huge fire. Right, 519 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 2: you don't know what flammable stuff can. Yeah, I make 520 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 2: the fire go crazy. 521 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: Compared to that palette yard, This doesn't look like it 522 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: could be the same thing, but this happens every Their 523 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: singles never be one fire. I've never heard of underpass fires. 524 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of an underpass? 525 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 2: Because people are living there before now that's right, and 526 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 2: that's why we have normalized this behavior to live underneath 527 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 2: the freeways. 528 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 1: That's why Karen Basst is such a loser. She ought 529 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 1: to say that we're cleaning out every underpass encampment now 530 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: before a freeway collapses. We should never have had lunch. 531 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: What percentage of Calterran's property has homeless people? Because it 532 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: always seems like they're on caltrans property around the state. 533 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: Newsom was trying to claim that they cleared out I 534 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: think over two thousand Caltrans encampments statewide, state wide, No 535 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: just in downtown LA. And uh, and I'm thinking, how 536 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: the hell did you let it get that bad because 537 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: most of that's while he's been governor. Certainly, Sir, that 538 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: idiot Jerry Brown, these are all idiots. How do you 539 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: end up with two thousand homeless encampments under on Caltran's property? 540 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: And and then they want a big metal when they 541 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: clear away one. 542 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 2: And now we find out that Caltrans leases property underneath 543 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 2: freeways like where that fire was on the ten Freeway 544 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 2: to places that don't pay the bills and sublet to 545 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 2: other lessons who what storehand sanitizer in there? 546 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: Why do that? Why is that necessary, but you don't 547 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: have get money. 548 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 2: They don't have enough money. They want money, but they 549 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 2: have tons of money. They have more money than say, Oh, 550 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 2: there's all this land under the freeways. If only we 551 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: could capitalize on that. Why don't we lease it out 552 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 2: to people to destore their crap, wooden palettes whatever that 553 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 2: this company APEX to look into them and see what 554 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:45,479 Speaker 2: they do. 555 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what's that? I see here? 556 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 2: Stuff you don't know about until a disaster happens, right, 557 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 2: isn't that how it works in life? Yeah, I'm looking 558 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 2: to see. I'm certain Newson was ragging about. 559 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,479 Speaker 1: This, about the encampments that they cleaned up. 560 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll find out the morning it was Caltran's properties. 561 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: That's what I thought. 562 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 2: He said, yeah, yeah, it'd be good. Something something made 563 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 2: him suddenly do this. See, he's trying to prepare a 564 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 2: resume to blunt criticisms when he runs for president. That's 565 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 2: what all this is about. So that's why he jumps 566 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 2: right on this freeway story, because he wants to make 567 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 2: it look like he's on top of this and he's going. 568 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: To get reopened quickly. There's so much bad video about 569 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: California falling apart. You know, he's trying to make things. Now, well, 570 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: can you imagine the first the first ad run against 571 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom when he announces for president. Imagine what the 572 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: first act and this will be the San Francisco and 573 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: tender Lloyd and this will be from Democratic and Democratic 574 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: opponents in the primary. All right, Conway, oh and Thompson, 575 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: look at that. And by the way, don't forget that. 576 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 8: Gavin Newsom also allowed thirty billion dollars to disappear out 577 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 8: of unemployment fund and not one person was suspended for 578 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 8: one hour. 579 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 2: That's that's that is thirty billion billions on medical masks 580 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 2: and all that stuff. And who knows that hand sanitized 581 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 2: one to the freeways and stuff he bought from China. 582 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 5: I wow, I haven't heard that. 583 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's out there.

They 590 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: had to pay to get rid of it. 591 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, because they squarehouse out in the Olympire, take a 592 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 2: bunch of hands. 593 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,719 Speaker 8: They couldn't put it into a landfill because it's toxic, 594 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 8: so they had to pay a company to take it away. 595 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: Did you guys ever buy hand sanitizer made in China? Probably? Yeah, 596 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I want.
