They have to vote differently. 45 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: I don't understand what progressives. 46 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: Ought to be banished from government, and they ought to 47 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: be taken out into the ocean and dropped with weights 48 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 2: tied around their ankles.

All right, tell me though, twenty minutes there's 50 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: there's a hearing.

Karen 188 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 2: Bass and Kristin Crowley, the two women who completely botched 189 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 2: up their their jobs to protect the people in this 190 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: city from losing their homes or losing their lives. Neither 191 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 2: one seemed to hear or react to the extreme fire 192 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 2: warnings that the National Weather Service was giving out for 193 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 2: five six straight days, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh. Yeah, 194 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 2: six days, six days of extreme fire warnings. And Bass 195 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: said that she didn't know about it, and she says 196 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 2: Crowley just waved it off as hey, we always get 197 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 2: sant Ana wins. Listen to Karen Bass again. And this 198 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 2: is from Alex Michaelson Fox eleven going to. 199 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 5: Go to Ghana, which I know you've said was a 200 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 5: mistake now, but I just am curious on the thought 201 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 5: process behind it, because we know that there was warnings 202 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 5: about the weather before you went, and you still went. 203 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 5: What was the thought process behind going to Ghana? 204 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 6: So let me just tell you a couple of things. 205 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 6: First of all, when the White House called and asked 206 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 6: me if I would report the president. I said, yes, 207 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 6: it was going to be a very very short trip 208 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 6: over a weekend and two business days. We need to 209 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 6: look at everything about the preparation and all of that 210 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 6: for the fires, because I think when we evaluate that, 211 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 6: we will find that although there were warnings that I 212 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 6: frankly wasn't aware of. Although there were warnings, I think 213 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 6: our preparation it wasn't what it typically is, meaning that 214 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 6: before there's a major weather event, for example last week, 215 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 6: and we. 216 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: Get stopped there. So I love the way she slipped 217 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: that in there. 218 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: She wasn't aware of the warnings, and we spent a 219 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 2: lot of time yesterday going through the frequency and severity 220 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 2: of the warnings from the National Weather Service. And then 221 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 2: basically what she's saying is Kristen Crowley just didn't get 222 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 2: the fire Department prepared, And it seems that's true. They 223 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 2: were not prepared. There were no extra engines, there were 224 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 2: no extra personnel focused on the Palisades and a number 225 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 2: of other places that the Weather Service said were likely 226 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: to go up in flames. But the Los Angeles Fire 227 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 2: Department is angry with Karen Bass because she's claiming The 228 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 2: fire department says that the department followed all standard preparation procedures. 229 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: They posted. Prior to the Palisades fire. 230 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: The LA Fire Department emailed two separate media advisories, conducted 231 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: multiple live and recorded media interviews about predicted extreme fire weather, 232 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 2: and notified city officials about the upcoming weather event. 233 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: I have to believe that's all true. 234 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: However, Kristin Crowley did not take those warnings and positioned 235 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 2: the firefighters and the engines in the proper position, and 236 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 2: the fire hydrants many of them didn't work. And of 237 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 2: course we know the idiot Genie Keinoniez left the reservoir empty, 238 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: sent in as reservoir one hundred and seventeen million gallons empty. 239 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 2: So while they sent out I don't know emails, media advisories, tweets, posts, 240 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 2: the action was not existence but non existent on the 241 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 2: part of Kristin Crowley and on Karen Bass, who says 242 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: I didn't know, I didn't know there was This is massive, 243 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: overwhelming in competence. These two should resign, they should be 244 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: There's no way to fire them. This is really awful. 245 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 2: They just should go The New York Post. I mean, 246 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: this has become a national story. Here's the headline. This 247 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 2: is on the front page of the New York Post today. 248 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 2: La Mayor Karen Bass gives mind boggling excuse for being 249 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: in Ghana as their city bird. 250 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: This is what we look like to the rest the world. 251 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 2: La Mayor Karen Bass gives mind boggling excuse for being 252 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 2: in Ghana as her city burned. 253 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: And she's still here. She's not gone. 254 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 2: Kristin Crowley's not gone. Denise Kenonas is not gone. These 255 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 2: three were dangerous, are dangerous. What happened was deadly, destructive, tragic, overwhelming, 256 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 2: and it could have been medicated or even prevented. If 257 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 2: they had just sent fire trucks up in the Palisades Hills, 258 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 2: they might have spot of the fire. If if they'd 259 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 2: gone to the spot of the last fire New Year's 260 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 2: Day where the fireworks fire started, that may have been 261 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 2: where it got rekindled. The firefighters should have been positioned 262 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: there and they might have been able to snuff that 263 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: out very quickly. 264 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: But I have I cannot remember in my whole. 265 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 2: Life this kind of incompetence coupled with incredible arrogance and denials. 266 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 2: Did Crowley really say, oh, we always get sat Ana wins. 267 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: Did Carabas really not know about all the warnings for 268 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 2: two days before she took off for Africa? We got 269 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 2: to have a lot more. I'm not waiting for investigations. 270 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: I don't want to hear about investigations. 271 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A 272 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 4: six fort. 273 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 2: Did I hear you in the newscast say that one 274 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 2: of the Menendez brothers claimed that they were bullied in prison. 275 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 7: They both say that they're bullied in prison. One of 276 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 7: them admits that he was a spoiled brat before the murders. 277 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 7: But they're bullied in prison. 278 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 2: Bullied in prison, and we're supposed to feel sorry that 279 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 2: they were bullied in prison? 280 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 7: Yes, uh huh, Well, I don't know if they're supposed to. 281 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 7: I mean, I don't know if they're if they're asking 282 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 7: us to uh be sympathetic. 283 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: Or they just he's still spoiled brat. 284 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 2: If he's even saying that, of course he was bullied 285 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: in prison, probably a lot worse than that. 286 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: I was bullied. You're even you're like fifty four years 287 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: old or something, what do you was bullied? God? 288 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 2: I wish they'd been executed like thirty years ago. But 289 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 2: that's harsh. 290 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 7: You know there's certain things John that. 291 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: You do. 292 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 7: You and I'm. 293 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: I believe an instant justice.

Boy. 295 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 2: I love all this shouting by progressives that Elon Musk 296 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 2: is unelected. 297 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: You know who's unelected? 298 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 2: That all the progressives are very comfortable with the California 299 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 2: Air Resources Board. Remember that crowd of jackals they passed, 300 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 2: if you remember last fall, a low carbon fuel standard, 301 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 2: which would raise the gas tax by sixty five since 302 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 2: they initially admitted it would be an increase of forty 303 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 2: seven cents per gallon, but new projection says the price 304 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 2: would be sixty five cents and California's average gasoline price 305 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 2: would exceed the national average by as much as sixty 306 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 2: two percent by the end of this year, courtesy of 307 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 2: the unelected California Air Resources Board. Have you ever heard 308 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 2: have you ever heard any of the California progressive politicians 309 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 2: complain about the about car being unelected? No, because they're 310 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 2: happy as long as unelected boards and unelected bureaucrats are 311 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 2: punishing us because they hate us. Now, there was so 312 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 2: much blowback. In fact, there was a petition signed by 313 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 2: thirteen thousand people asking CARB to at least postpone the increase, 314 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 2: and CARB refused to change anything. And now, now, after 315 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: all this time, Tuesday, the Office of Administrative Law, I 316 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 2: don't even know what that is. They have rejected this 317 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 2: this field standard and rejected the price increase. This happened 318 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 2: on Tuesday. The Office of Administrative Law disapproved amendments to 319 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 2: the low Carbon Mandate and a CARB spokes hole, David Klegern. 320 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 2: God who goes up to who grows up to be 321 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 2: a spokes hole for the California Air Resources Board. Wow, 322 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 2: that's a good use of your life, he says. The 323 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 2: Office of Administrative Law issued a routine disapproval of amendments 324 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 2: on technical grounds, not on the merits of the regulation. 325 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 2: CARB will refine the language and resubmit for approval. Carbon 326 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 2: has four months to fix the issues and resubmit. But 327 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 2: there's a lot of legislators that want this temporary halt 328 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 2: to be permanent. There is a Senate bill, Senate Bill two, 329 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 2: which is being pushed by two Republicans. I don't know 330 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 2: how to say this woman's name, but I'll give it 331 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 2: a shot. Rosalisi Ochoa bo out of Yukaipa and Brian 332 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 2: Jones out of San Diego. They both called for the 333 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 2: passage that would of this bill, which would void the 334 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 2: new carbon amendments and kill any gas press price rise. 335 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 2: Now we are up to about forty five a gallon, 336 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 2: which is the highest in the country, higher even than Hawaii, 337 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 2: and he had another sixty five cents to that, and 338 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 2: we would be at five dollars and fifty cents a gallon. 339 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 2: And there are some states that sell gas for as 340 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 2: low as two dollars and sixty seven cents. In fact, 341 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 2: there's about forty states that sell it for like three 342 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 2: and a quarter or less, and we're at forty four 343 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 2: plus the sixty five cents. This is another thing from 344 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom. So like just in the last hour, we've 345 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 2: told you that Gavin Newsom and his administration are bringing 346 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 2: you the forty three time convicted rapist pillowcase rapist Christopher 347 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 2: Hubbard to Juniper Hills. 348 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: And we're very close. 349 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 2: To still getting the sixty five cent increase in the 350 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: gas courtesy of Gavin Newsom. But it looks to be 351 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 2: tied up over a technicality issue. The legislature has to 352 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 2: rescind this increase. There really should be some kind of 353 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 2: rebellion here. 354 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: I feel. 355 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 2: I feel so frustrated that the rest of the country 356 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 2: is enjoying all the massive cuts that are taking place 357 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. All the fraudsters, all the criminals, 358 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 2: it's all being shook loose. They're gonna be finally dealing 359 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 2: with the criminals running high speed rail, and yet here 360 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 2: we are in California, mired with the same old garbage, 361 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 2: the same corruption, the same money laundering, the same micromanaging 362 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 2: with their weird obsessions, and it's all about shape, it's 363 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 2: all about stealing money from us. This sixty five cent 364 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 2: increase is just flat out stealing money from us, because 365 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 2: that's the whole point of the government operation. 366 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: I said this yesterday. 367 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: If you wonder how we went from one hundred billion 368 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 2: dollars the first year or Jerry Brown for a state 369 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 2: budget to three hundred billion. Now, I think this week 370 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: is proven. They're just stealing the money and they're not 371 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 2: writing down what they're stealing. So there's no way, there's 372 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 2: no way we ought to have to pay another sixty 373 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 2: five cents a gallon. They can't force us into electric 374 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 2: cars there's very few electric chargers out there, and the 375 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 2: electrical grid has not been built. 376 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: It can barely handle what we are what we are using. Now. 377 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: They want to ruin our lives. 378 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 2: They don't think we should be living this way, that 379 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 2: we should not have the freedom to live the way 380 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 2: we live. They progressives really believe this, and they're trying 381 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 2: to And this is like the last bastion of the stuff. 382 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 2: This is no longer going on in much of the country. 383 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 2: It's dead. It's over in much of the country except here. 384 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 2: All right, more coming up three o'clock, we're going to 385 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 2: get back on the high speed rail story because Sean Duffy, 386 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 2: the Transportation Secretary, came to Los Angeles and said they 387 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 2: are going to do a thorough review of high speed 388 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 2: rail because do you know, not one inch of rail 389 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 2: has been built, has been laid down, not one inch 390 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 2: of high speed rail, and they're only trying to do 391 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 2: Bakersfield and or said, and that's not going to happen 392 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 2: for at least ten years.

Susan Shelley from the Howard Jarvi Taxpayers Association 395 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 2: has more information because there's four billion dollars hanging in 396 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 2: the air that the Biden criminals approved of and Newsome 397 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 2: and high speed Rail wants that four billion. They're not 398 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 2: going to get it, but they're going to go through 399 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 2: the review process. 400 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: First. 401 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM 402 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 4: six forty. 403 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 2: John Cobelt's show coming up after three o'clock.

That's the investigation that Trump demanded. 408 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 2: They are going to see where's the money gone. It's 409 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 2: well over ten billion dollars. There's another four billion that 410 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 2: is supposed to come from the FEDS that the Biden 411 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 2: administration set aside. But there's no high speed rail track 412 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 2: that's laid on the ground after sixteen and a half years. 413 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 2: So we'll talk with Susan Shelley coming up. I want 414 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 2: to plan now a clip we've got of Sean Duffy, 415 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 2: and this was the press conference they held at Union Station. 416 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: Transportation Secretary.

And we're done 429 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: with that. And you know what, you're going to have 430 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: people who love fraud, who love waste, who love. 431 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 4: Trains to nowhere with all of us up here, we 432 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 4: do not love fraud. 433 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: Rice Interviews. 434 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 8: We are going to use the taxpayer money efficiently. 435 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: And this is. 436 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 2: The shot shouting build the rail. By the way, Michael 437 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 2: Monks says that was about twenty five people, but the 438 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: acoustics of the environment made it sound like there were hundreds. 439 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,719 Speaker 2: There weren't that many people. Michael said, they look kind 440 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 2: of ragged. It's a hired crowd. I wish media would 441 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 2: stop covering these protesters. They're often hired, they're often fake protesters. 442 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 2: And what Sean Duffy said is right, you're shouting build 443 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 2: the rail. Well, they spent sixteen billion, they had seventeen years. 444 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: It's over. They didn't build the rail. We had We had. 445 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 2: Brown and knwsome governing for the last fourteen years, and 446 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 2: Schwarzenegger who was a supporter. So we had the government 447 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 2: in place. Assembly the state said it carb to provide 448 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,239 Speaker 2: tax money the governors, and they build it because they 449 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 2: didn't intend to build it. See, it's another racket. It's like, 450 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 2: it's like Newsome and his administration doesn't care to if 451 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 2: they send a forty three time rapist into Junifer Hills. 452 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 2: They also don't care if they see. What they're clever 453 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 2: doing is they try to position this as a fight 454 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 2: between over the climate, a fight between environmentalists and those 455 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 2: who want to continue fouling the environment by driving their 456 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 2: cars around and not taking the train. 457 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: It's like, no, it's not. 458 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 2: It's you set up a project to make yourselves billions 459 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 2: of dollars and you didn't follow through and build the 460 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 2: rail because it's too difficult to build the rail. It's 461 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 2: way too expensive. They originally said thirty three billion. That 462 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 2: was a lie. These aren't cost overruns. This is what 463 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 2: it costs. But they spent all the money and got 464 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 2: no rail out of it. I can't tell you how 465 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 2: how complex their plans are to rip people, rip taxpayers 466 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 2: off for billions of dollars. It's all thought out well 467 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 2: in advance. They know it's not going to be done 468 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 2: by twenty twenty. They know it's not going to cost 469 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 2: thirty three billion. They know there's going to be no 470 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 2: rail going from Sacramento to San Francisco to La to 471 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 2: Anaheim and San Diego. They knew all that, but they 472 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:29,959 Speaker 2: manipulated you with a phony campaign, and they got fifty 473 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 2: two percent of the public to vote for high speed 474 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 2: rail because it sounds really cool. The same way they 475 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 2: lied to you about Prop forty seven. I told you 476 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 2: it was going to reduce crime, it was going to 477 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 2: make neighborhoods in schools safer. They lie to you, and 478 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 2: they emotionally manipulate you, and more than half the public 479 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 2: falls for it every time. And then ten years later 480 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 2: you look around and say, oh my god, there's all 481 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 2: these drug addicts and mental patients and all these criminals 482 00:29:58,440 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 2: and thieves running around. 483 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: What happened? 484 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 2: And you said, you said you think they didn't know that. 485 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 2: Of course they knew that. They knew if they weren't 486 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 2: going to put in thieves and drug addicts in jail, 487 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 2: of course they were going to run all over the street. 488 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: They don't care. 489 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 2: They have this fanatical ideology where the state has no 490 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 2: right to put human beings away into prison. So that's 491 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: how we got Prop forty seven. And the cover story 492 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 2: on this is climate change.
