1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Can't f I am six forty. You're listening to the

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 2: I have so much fun. I want to call Sacramento fun.

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: But the.

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: Silver lining of how painful it is to go up

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: there and have to tolerate those people who are so corrupt,

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: so dishonest, so incompetent, so out of touch, is that

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: when you serve up a load of reality and truth,

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: when you bring an alternative voice, when you challenge them, oh,

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: they're just not used to it, and they just lose

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: their you know what. Then when I capture it on video,

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: when I'm on the assembly floor and they're lighting their

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: hair on fire, it reveals their true person, reveals who

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: they really are. They're arrogant, they are angry, and they

15
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: basically I don't like to get challenged. For some of them,

16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: they've never really heard a different point of view because

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: they're so used to their Republicans being well sellouts rolling over.

18
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: And so when I look at what's going on in

19
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: California politics, I see a state, California that I once

20
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: loved so much and I used to be proud to

21
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: be a Californian, But it is in such bad shape today. Hi,

22
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 2: it's cost of living, a homelessness crisis, a crime wave,

23
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 2: the worst schools, the worse roads, they can't manage fire,

24
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: corrupt politicians. By every metric, our government has failed us.

25
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: Both political parties. One party, the Democrats, have awful ideas.

26
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: The other political party has sold us out. So what

27
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: do you do? What a lot of Califounias have done

28
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: is they've packed up and moved. You know how hard

29
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: it is to leave this beautiful state? Do you know

30
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: how bad your government has to be for people to

31
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: literally say the thing I used to be so proud

32
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: of all my friends and family. My life's story is here,

33
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: and I'm going to go to a place with mosquitoes

34
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: and alligators and humidity and heat and no good Mexican food. Okay,

35
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: now that you see how bad it is to give

36
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: up the good Mexican food, But I'm here today. I say,

37
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: you don't have to flee. You do not have to flee.

38
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: That is not the only option. Frankly, it's the worst option.

39
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: You should stay and fight. But you need a plan

40
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: to fight. You need good leaders that are willing to

41
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: organize the fight. And I've dedicated myself to doing this

42
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 2: and no, I'm not running for God. This is about

43
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: me helping create a movement where others can benefit from it.

44
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: I don't have the charm to run for governor. I

45
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 2: don't have the patience. But we just heard from Steve

46
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: Hilton and Chad me Uncle. What if you're just tuning in,

47
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: check out their interviews on the iHeartRadio app. We post

48
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: our podcasts after four o'clock every day. We need to

49
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 2: get behind one of these two candidates, and we need

50
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: to make them a better candidate. I like both men.

51
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: Both men have potential, but neither one of them are

52
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: in the vein or the condition or the position yet

53
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: to win. What do we need to win? And we

54
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: just covered the four things to win. Number one is

55
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: we need California voter ID to be on the ballot

56
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: and passed. So sign the initiative at voter ID initiative

57
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: dot com voter ID initiative dot com. Second, we need

58
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: that candidate to truly embrace that they should not be

59
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: running as Oh, I'm a Republican or oh I'm so sorry,

60
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: I'm a Republican. No, they should embrace the fact that

61
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: they're running as the non politician. Issues are pretty much

62
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: secondary to the main problem that a governor's candidate has

63
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: to address, and that is, we have a wretchedly broken

64
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: and corrupt political system in California that is dominated by

65
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: the rich, by the super packs, by the billionaires, by

66
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: the labor union bosses, by the special interests, the lobbyists.

67
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: They benefit from the broken system and they will continue

68
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: to fund bad politicians because those politicians give them your money.

69
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: For all the hoot and holler and that Democrats says,

70
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: we're working for the little guy. No you're not. You

71
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: are the man. You are robbing the little guy. You

72
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: gave him the highest gas tax in the country, the

73
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: highest utility rates in the country. You give them cancelations

74
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 2: in their fire insurance or at least triple digit increases.

75
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 2: You let their homes burn down. Then you let predatory

76
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: developers go and buy single family homes and build condo towers.

77
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: Don't for a moment pretend you give a rats rear

78
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:37,559
Speaker 2: end about small folk. Little guy. You choke and kill

79
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: small business owners with high taxes, high cost of living

80
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: and the cost of operating with regulations, and of course

81
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: the crime wave. And so this candidate needs to make

82
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 2: that case. Then we need a movement. We need you

83
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: to volunteer and we need a campaign that is all

84
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: based on grassroots. But the political consultants that Republicans have

85
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: don't care about grassroots because they don't make a commission

86
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: on a volunteer walking door to door or telling their

87
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: friends about politics. No, they make commission on lousy, ineffective

88
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: TV ads. I'm looking at you, Jessica Patterson, the former

89
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: chair of the California Republican Party or the current chair

90
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: corn rankin earning three hundred four hundred thousand dollars salary

91
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: for a position in most states that's volunteer in a

92
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 2: California Republican political party that is financially on the ropes,

93
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: has no money to pay for voter registration. That's why

94
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: the movement is so important. Because the professional political class

95
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 2: on the Republican side, they are grifters, they are incompetent,

96
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 2: they are not going to fight and win. And finally,

97
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: there needs to be some money. We're never gonna have

98
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: the money that the other side has. We need some money.

99
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: So let's see where you guys come in in terms

100
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:21,119
Speaker 2: of candidates. We got some talkbacks from the iHeartRadio app

101
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: Steve Hilton or Chad Bianco. After you heard the four

102
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: criteria that I think we need to have in order

103
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: for one of these candidates to be effective. Who do

104
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: you support for governor? Coming up? You sound off.

105
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

106
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,119
Speaker 3: six forty.

107
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: Let's get to some of those talkback comments about who

108
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: people are leaning towards on the Republican side for governor.

109
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 4: Big fan of Sheriff Chad Bianco for governor, being a

110
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 4: resident of Temecula now for twenty years and living in

111
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 4: Riverside County. He's done a lot of great work for

112
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 4: the county since he's been elected sheriff, and I think

113
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: he'll continue to do that when he's a governor.

114
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: There you go. Popular refrain is if you have a

115
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: sheriff running for governor, it resonates with people who want

116
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: law and order. And obviously this guy's from Temecula, so

117
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: he knows. Bianco. Got any others?

118
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 5: I like Steve Hilton, and main reason is he's got

119
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 5: the connections in Washington. He's got the connections that I

120
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 5: think he's gonna need to lead to California.

121
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: That is an item that Steve Hilton hit on in

122
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: his interview earlier today, and if you missed it, check

123
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: out the podcast after the show wraps up at four

124
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: o'clock on the iHeartRadio app. Steve Hilton has a lot

125
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: of those connections Vivek Ramaswami. Ramaswami, for example, is supporting him.

126
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: Whoever gets Trump's endorsement in the primary would immediately vault

127
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: into first place. I don't know though, if Trump is

128
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: going to endorse in the primary. Haven't spoken to him

129
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: about it or his team, but we're going to try

130
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: to endorse at Reform California and we have a pretty

131
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: big army of people. But an endorsement from Trump, and

132
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: I know that Steve Hilton has good relationships with the

133
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: White House. An endorsement from Trump for Steve Hilton, if

134
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: it happens, would be a game changer in the primary.

135
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: Would it hurt him in the general? No, he's already

136
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: a Republican. They're already going to say no matter who

137
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: the Republicans put up that somehow they're evil and they're

138
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: pro Trump, might as well own it. Let's get to

139
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: some other comments.

140
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, my name's Greg. You know, I'm a truck driver

141
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 6: out of Bakersville, California, Lake Isabella. I believe that the

142
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 6: sheriff would be the best governor for us, hard on trime,

143
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 6: and he could get this state turned back around.

144
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 2: Crime. It resonates sheriff, law and order. Republicans like public safety.

145
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: Got another one, Steve Hilton fan.

146
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 7: I've followed him since he was on Fox News, and

147
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 7: I've always liked him, and I kept up with this podcast,

148
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 7: and I think he's very knowledgeable, and I think he's

149
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 7: going to make a great covenor.

150
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: Okay, we could probably play this game of tennis ping

151
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: pong for the next hour and a half because all

152
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: of the talkbacks are basically running dead. Even half of

153
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: you like Cha Pianco, half of you like Steve Hilton.

154
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 2: I like both of them. But if we continue to

155
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: split the vote, you know what happens, right, We're gonna

156
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: get shut out. Because Katie Porter right now is taking

157
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: water on She is really having a bunch of blowback

158
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: from her true nature being exposed in the past week,

159
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: from all those viral clips showing that she devours young children.

160
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: But basically it's almost as bad as that she treats

161
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: people with absolute arrogance and contempt, and she's nasty, vicious,

162
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: which is why I'd love to have a Republican candidate

163
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: run against her, because I don't think Californians want to

164
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: put up with that crap for four years. I've heard

165
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: from a variety of Democrats sources that the establishment is

166
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 2: uniting behind Steve Padilla, the sorry Alex Padia, not Steve Pidia.

167
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: Steve Pidia is a loser state senator from San Diego.

168
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 2: Alex Padia, the US Senator who's best friends with Gavin Usom.

169
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: He has not announced for governor yet, but if he runs,

170
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: he's gonna get the support of Newsom in the entire establishment.

171
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: Why because he has promised Newsom that if he wins

172
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: governor that he will appoint Gavin Newsom as the US

173
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: Senator to replace him in the Senate. Oh you see

174
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: what's going on again? This is corruption. You don't get

175
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: You need to tell the Democrats. You don't get to

176
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: choose who your nominee is. Your nominee is chosen for

177
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: you by the power barons. You just get to be

178
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: the window dressing. That's what they did with Joe Biden,

179
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: and then that's what they did with word Salad Kamala

180
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 2: Harris I told you a year and a half out

181
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: that Biden was not going to be then that they

182
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: were going to replace them after the primaries because they

183
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: never wanted an open primary. They didn't want voters to

184
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: actually way in. They were terrified they were gonna get

185
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: AOC or Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders. Same thing's happening

186
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: right now in California politics on the Democrat side. They

187
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: are going to anoint Alex Padia because Newsom and the

188
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: establishment want Newsom to be able to be relevant in

189
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: a political office while he runs for president. It's all

190
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: about them, not about you. The problem you have on

191
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 2: the Republican side is we've got to get these two

192
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 2: candidates down to one and we're gonna work on that

193
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: all right. Coming up, there is a huge uproar within

194
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 2: the Democrat party. It all involves how a good chunk

195
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: of the Democrat base is anti Semitic, they're anti Jewish.

196
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: Coming up, what's going on that you need to know.

197
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

198
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 3: six forty.

199
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: You can hear the show every day one to four,

200
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: but you also can listen live or on demand on

201
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. We put the podcast up every day

202
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 2: after four o'clock. I need your help in getting a

203
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 2: million signatures to put the California Voter ID Initiative on

204
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: the ballot. If you haven't signed the initiative yet, you

205
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: can download, print, sign and mail it back to me

206
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: at voter id Initiative dot com voter id Initiative dot com.

207
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: But more than signing it, I'd like you to see

208
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 2: if you can get extra signatures. So request a volunteer

209
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: kit and I will mail one to you. I'll cover

210
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: the postage voter ID Initiative dot com. There is a

211
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: dirty little secret that the liberal media is covering up.

212
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: The Democrats. A good chunk of them hate Jews. Let

213
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: me just be very blunt. They are anti Semitic, and

214
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: I've seen this with my own eyes. There was an

215
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: anti bullying bill in Sacramento that we passed that basically

216
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: said that we need to be evaluating curriculum to make

217
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: sure that it's not anti Semitic AB seven fifteen.

218
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: The bill.

219
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: Basically is common sense that you have to have factually

220
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: accurate information when you're teaching about Israel, when you are

221
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: teaching about the Holocaust, Factually accurate and a lot of

222
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: anti Semites. A lot of anti Jewish groups viciously opposed

223
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: the bill, including labor unions. That's why what's appalling is

224
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: the California Faculty Association came out with a questionnaire just

225
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: recently in the past couple days, and it was sent

226
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: to me by a Democrat who said, I'm Jewish and

227
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: I just got this questionnaire, and I am appalled. The

228
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: questionnaire says, please let us know if you accept money

229
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: from a pack, jpack, the oil industry, the tobacco industry,

230
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: police associations, etc. So let me be clear, these Democrats

231
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: don't like oil because it's going to destroy our planet.

232
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: Can dim it change. They don't like tobacco. They certainly

233
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: don't like police. That's been a parent They want to

234
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 2: do fun police. And what they're saying here by lumping

235
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 2: Jewish groups in with oil, tobacco, and police, they certainly

236
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: don't like Jews. You can't get more anti Semitic than that.

237
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: If this were a Republican survey saying do you get

238
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 2: money from black people or black organizations, this would be

239
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: off the charts, the number one story in every media

240
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: outlet around the state. But no, because it's Democrats. Let's

241
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 2: cover up the hate. The most viciously hate filled and

242
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: discriminatory people I have met in Sacramento are Democrats, and

243
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 2: no one seems to understand that. They say Republicans are

244
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: hate filled and they discriminate. But the only people who

245
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 2: look at you as your gender, your skin color, your orientation,

246
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 2: your religion are Democrats. I'm not saying that every Republican

247
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: is an angel, but if you truly are conservative, if

248
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 2: you're truly freedom oriented, you treat everyone with dignity and respect,

249
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 2: and you give them their freedoms even when you disagree

250
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 2: with them. But not the Democrats. They see a world

251
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: of religion, orientation, and skin color, and they will weaponize

252
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 2: that and they will discriminate against people based upon those factors.

253
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 2: And now you see it in black and white. The

254
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 2: California Faculty Association doesn't like Jews. They don't like oil,

255
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: they don't like tobacco, they don't like police, but they

256
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: don't like Jews. That's why they're asking. Oh, they say, quote,

257
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 2: we don't support candidates who accept money from groups that

258
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 2: quote harm working people. It is shocking. I would like

259
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: to see some of my Democrat Jewish members speak out

260
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: more forcefully against this, but they are trying to walk

261
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: a tight rope of privately growsing about it while swallowing

262
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 2: the indignation by not letting their secret flow out to

263
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: the media. I'm sorry that they're being treated that way

264
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 2: by fellow Democrats, but you know what they say, if

265
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: you created the monster, don't be surprised when that monster

266
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 2: comes after you. Coming up. Another story that's not really

267
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: covered by the media, and that is that in the

268
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: middle of a budget deficit, California politicians are spending one

269
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: point three billion dollars or the equivalent of an NFL stadium,

270
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: on swank new office space for themselves in Sacramento, but

271
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: they don't want you to know that it costs that much.

272
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: Coming up, we got the story for you.

273
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Coebelt on demand from KFI AM sixty.

274
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: Carl Demayo is sitting in for John go Belt on AM

275
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 2: six forty KFI. I want to get to this last

276
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 2: story because it's appalling. So much in Sacramento is appalling,

277
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: but it just shows how politicians are more interested in

278
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: what happens to them, what they can benefit, versus what

279
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 2: happens to you. So in the middle of a budget

280
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: deficit where we have a twenty billion dollar budget deficit,

281
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 2: politicians are spending three hundred million dollars on Prop fifty,

282
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: their corruptory districting scheme, and Prop fifty doesn't help you,

283
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: It only helps them stay in office. But they also

284
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: want to make sure that when they're in office that

285
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 2: they have the most glamorous taj Mahal office suites that

286
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: you can possibly get with taxpayer funds. They are spending

287
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: one point three billion dollars the cost of an NFL

288
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: stadium on new office space for themselves up at the

289
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: state Capitol. Now, mind you, they already have new office space.

290
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: They are right now in a building that they built

291
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: just three years ago that's brand new, perfectly fine, better

292
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: than fine. But they don't want to walk a single

293
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: block and have to hang out with little folk, the

294
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: real people. Instead, they want a new building for one

295
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 2: point three billion dollars, and they want to have secret

296
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: corridors in that buildings so they don't have to interact

297
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 2: with the public. Far be it from an elected official

298
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: to actually have to talk to someone they're supposed to

299
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: be working for. Here's k CR's Ashley Zavala who's doing

300
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: a great job trying to get to the bottom of

301
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 2: this taj Mahal project that the politicians don't want you

302
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: know the full cost of. But it is one point

303
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: three billion. I'm letting you know what that is. I'm

304
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 2: not unwilling to tell you the truth. Here's cut one.

305
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: Oh we didn't get cut one. Okay, Well, anyway. Ash

306
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: Zavala has asked repeatedly on the California Public Records Act,

307
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: which allows anyone you know, let alone a member of

308
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: the media, but any individual taxpayer can demand government records.

309
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: How much did you spend on paper clips last year? Yes,

310
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: you can ask your government how much they spent, and

311
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 2: they have to tell you. How much did you spend

312
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 2: on getting pensions to these government employees? What is the

313
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: cost of this contract? All of that is subject to

314
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: the Public Records Act by state law, they have to

315
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 2: hand it over to you. But Ashley Zavala has repeatedly

316
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: asked how much does this new building cost taxpayers? They

317
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 2: said it cost five hundred and eighty million dollars when

318
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 2: they approved the project in twenty eighteen. Cost overruns have

319
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 2: resulted in it being far more, but they haven't told

320
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 2: you how much more. I'm here to tell you it's

321
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: one point three billion dollars. They already admitted it was

322
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 2: approaching a billion. It's one point three billion dollars and

323
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 2: I expect it to be one point six in very

324
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: short order. So politicians and the middle of a budget deficit,

325
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 2: can spend that money for their own offices, their own comfort,

326
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: and to make sure that the building has secret passages

327
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 2: so that they don't have to interact with the public.

328
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 2: You can't get more elitists and out of touch than this.

329
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 2: But they're going to raise your taxes and they're going

330
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 2: to cut important services to all sorts of Californians. But

331
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: they'll take care of themselves first, just like they take

332
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: care of their campaign donors first, because it's not about you,

333
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: it's about them. When you actually take a look at

334
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: this new building that they're building, it doesn't even fit architecturally. Again,

335
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: I don't care about architecture, but I do. The bigger

336
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 2: thing is how much money they're spending it on an

337
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: unnecessary taj mahal. But this building, when you look at it,

338
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: you know, you see the state Capitol. It's you know,

339
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 2: like a miniature version, a smaller version of the US Capitol.

340
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 2: It's got the big dome, it's white at the Greek

341
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 2: Roman architecture. It looks like a you know, standard state capitol. Okay, yeah,

342
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: that's the state capitol building. Ye looks like a normal

343
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 2: state capitol. But you know what this taj Mahal is

344
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: gonna look like. It's gonna look like the headquarters of

345
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 2: Meta or X or one of those other sleek tech companies.

346
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: It's glass, it's metallic, and it looks like a big

347
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: old elephant sitting up next to a modern, a traditional

348
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: state capitol building. Again, I'm not criticizing it just because

349
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: of bad architecture. That's just the icing on the cake.

350
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: I'm criticizing it because it's unnecessary one point three billion

351
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: dollars of your money when they can just use the

352
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 2: office building they literally just built, Karl. We don't want

353
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: to have to walk out some the capitol building. It's

354
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 2: a full block. Oh God forbid. You have to walk

355
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: outside and interact with the people. And this building is

356
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: more expensive than a normal office building because for every

357
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: public corridor, they're going to have a private, secret corridor.

358
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 2: For every public elevator, they have a secret private elevator.

359
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 2: Members only again, everything about this corrupt system is hidden

360
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 2: from the public because we don't with the exception of ashley'

361
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: zavala at CACRA on this story WHI she does great

362
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 2: work on other stories too. The media they're not watchdogs,

363
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: they're lapdogs. All right. That does it for me today,

364
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: But I want to remind all of you. I'll be

365
