00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: so much for your support and for letting me broadcast

35
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: the two part series on your show, and then we

36
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: did that whole Q and A after the second part

37
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: of the series, Mental lot.

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

39
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that that stands on its own as

40
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,919
Speaker 2: just a brilliant series, and I know it's helped people

41
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: because they write to you and tell you that.

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that makes it all worth it. That part.

43
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: I mean, yes, it's great that I want awards because

44
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: I know, you know, I worked really hard. Steve Gregory

45
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 3: worked really hard on it as well, and so that

46
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 3: part is obviously it's awesome. But to know that it

47
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 3: helped other people and maybe even prevented some people from

48
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: taking their own life is wow.

49
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's incredible. They do any better than that.

50
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: Well, congratulations again, John, you'll still let me talk to you?

51
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: Oh yes, okay, Lot, she has a guarden now outside

52
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: her booth. You know, I don't want to talk to anybody. Yeah,

53
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: all right, So now to uh, what's going on in

54
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 2: the world. You probably don't know this. Tomorrow is April first.

55
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: You may know that, But did you know that La

56
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: County is going to increase the sales tax to nine

57
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: and three quarter percent tomorrow nine point seven five percent.

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: The tax is going up.

59
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: And because a majority of people who live in this county,

60
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 2: who are so so stupid and ignorant, they've voted for

61
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: an increase in the homeless sales tax in November. So

62
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 2: now we're going to pay nine point seven five percent.

63
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: There was a quarter cent tax that was expiring soon.

64
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: This now turns it into a half cent tax. We

65
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: could have had the sales tax dropped by a quarter percent.

66
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: Instead it's going up by a half percent. And this

67
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: is going to affect everything that you purchase here the

68
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: in La Canty and in some towns it's even worse.

69
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: In Palmdale and Lancaster, your rate is going to be

70
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: eleven point two five percent, which is the highest in

71
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 2: the county and the entire southern California region. You know,

72
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: Riverside and Orange Counties are at seven point seventy five percent,

73
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: Ventura is at seven point twenty five. But now Palmdale

74
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: Lancaster is going to be at eleven and a quarter

75
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: because voters there also also voted in favor of these

76
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: tax increases. Let me go back to the La County

77
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 2: tax increase. It's it's to give more money to the

78
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: homelessness monster. And we told you last week that there's

79
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: two and a half billion dollars missing, unaccounted for. There's

80
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: a federal judge who seems to be doing his own

81
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: investigat His name is David O. Carter, and Judge Carter

82
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: demanded an audit done be done from the outside. The

83
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 2: city had done one and found the same story, but

84
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: he wanted his own. Two and a half billion dollars

85
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: is missing, and he ordered city leaders to show up

86
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: in his chambers to explain themselves, and most of them

87
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: didn't show, including Karen Bass, the mayor. Karen Bass was

88
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: asked by a judge to come and discuss matters. This

89
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: isn't a formal trial. She wasn't getting subpoened. She didn't

90
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: have to give testimony formal testimony. This was Hey, I'm

91
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 2: trying to figure out what's going wrong. I need you

92
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: in the courtroom so we can talk. She wouldn't show

93
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: until Carter scolded one of her administrative aids, and suddenly

94
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: Karen Bass was available. Other people who didn't show up

95
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: included Lindsay Horvath, who's the chief of the La County

96
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: Board of Supervisors, the woman who runs LASA, the LA

97
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: Housing Authority, which is hugely corrupt.

98
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: She was in Boston.

99
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: Last we heard of her, and her name is Valicia

100
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,119
Speaker 2: Adams Kellum VA Lysia Adams Kellum.

101
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: She's got four names.

102
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: Last we heard of her, she'd given away over two

103
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 2: million dollars to her husband's nonprofit. Her husband's in the

104
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: homeless industry as well, and so he reeled in two

105
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: million dollars from his wife, which of course violates all

106
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: sorts of ethics rules, but nobody cares. As you know,

107
00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: we spend about a billion four in La County on homelessness.

108
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: No in the city. In the city, we spend a

109
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 2: billion four. Then you add the county spending, and much

110
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: of it has disappeared and there's been no reduction in homelessness.

111
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: So there's people stealing money throughout the whole system, and

112
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: everybody knows that they're stealing money. Carter was upset about this,

113
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: but he's not in on the grift. The people in

114
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: on it. They don't even show up for a court hearing.

115
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: I've never heard a federal judge invites a political official

116
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: to try to explain what's going on.

117
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 4: Now.

118
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: I'm not coming, I'm busy. Nobody's upset. The audit story

119
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: came out weeks ago. Everybody just shrugs like, yeah, two

120
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: and a half billion is missing. Oh well, so doesn't

121
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: matter because the stupid people of La County voted for

122
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: another tax increase. Why do you even work, people who

123
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: vote for these tax increases, Why do you go to work?

124
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: Why don't you just set your money, cast your check

125
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: and set your money on fire. That would be a

126
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: better use than giving it to the homeless monster. This

127
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: incredibly corrupt system, filled with thieves, filled with corruption. On

128
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: nine point seventy five percent the sales tax in La County,

129
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: and that that is now two and a half per

130
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 2: two and a half percent higher than Ventura County. Boy,

131
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: if I lived on the border. What are people who

132
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: live in northern La County on the border if they

133
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: cross the border to save two and a half percent,

134
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: especially on big ticket items. I mean, they divert so

135
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 2: much of the money. They don't divert it for fire

136
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 2: protection obviously that they don't do nine points stept by

137
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: that Really that really struck me. You know, maybe maybe

138
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: someday they people can do, maybe anthropologists can do an

139
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: investigation is to why people, after they've been told that

140
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 2: all their tax money is getting stolen, they still offer

141
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: more tax money to the government gods. It is almost

142
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: like a religious thing, right, These are almost like religious donations,

143
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 2: sacrifices to the gods of government. It's stunning. Now another

144
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: place that another place where the money goes down a

145
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: rat hole is the state government. And Gavin Newsom right

146
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: now is running the most curious public relations campaign I've

147
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: ever seen in my life. He's going on anybody who

148
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: has a podcast. He has his own podcast, as you know,

149
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: He's going on everybody else's talk shows, whatnot, and everybody's

150
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 2: given a hard time all across the political spectrum.

151
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: And he is.

152
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: Saying things that renounce his old positions. But he's doing

153
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: things in line with his old positions, and everybody's confused.

154
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 2: And I think a reasonable person would think he's crazy.

155
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: And I'll explain this. I got some clips of him

156
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 2: appearing on with Bill Maher Real Time with Bill Maher,

157
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: which which is a which is a great show. And

158
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 2: we'll play some clips and Newsom and and he doesn't

159
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 2: know which way to go. He wants to be president badly,

160
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: and he doesn't He wants to change as many views

161
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 2: as he needs to change without losing too much support

162
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: from the other end. And he's really confused. Play some

163
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 2: of the clips you'll see.

164
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six.

165
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: Forty all right on to Newsome. He uh and I

166
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 2: do I do think uh. I do think that Kamala

167
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: Harris has stone much of the time. I'm going to

168
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: stand by them.

169
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: And Newsom is going on this bizarre tour.

170
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: And I've been trying to follow what he's doing, because

171
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: you know, he has a set of woke, progressive issues

172
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: that he's governed California with, and then he is suddenly

173
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: denouncing those issues, such as men and boys playing women

174
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 2: in girls sports in school.

175
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: But he's not changing the law.

176
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: Uh, and so you have to look at what he's

177
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: what he does, the laws he's he's passed, and the

178
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: laws he still supports, because what he's saying on these

179
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: podcasts is completely contradictory. They start with Real Time with

180
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 2: Bill Maher It's a good show on HBO, and he

181
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: and Newsom start talking about the state of the Democratic

182
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: Party because the Democrats approval rating in this country is

183
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: twenty seven percent. And Newsom says, yeah, yeah, we're toxic.

184
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: But play this clip.

185
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: Okay.

186
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 6: So John Fetterman was in the news today. He said,

187
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 6: if you term of the Democratic Party, he said, if

188
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 6: we don't get our together, we're going to be a

189
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 6: permanent minority.

190
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: I agree, and I see you're.

191
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 6: Doing something about it, and I applaud it. I think

192
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 6: it's great you've got this podcast, You're talking to people.

193
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 6: You know. It's amazing to me that even that is

194
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 6: controversial to some people. They call it platforming if you

195
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 6: talk to someone you don't agree with it. I feel

196
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 6: like this country is divided into owners and healers. People

197
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 6: think who can own the other side.

198
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 7: Gavin Newsom own dissentist descents destroyed. Gavin Newssom or people

199
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 7: who want to talk and heal. And I feel like

200
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 7: the next president is going to be, at least if

201
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 7: it comes from this party, the Democratic Party, someone who

202
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 7: wants to talk and heal, and I feel like you're

203
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 7: doing it.

204
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: It's really been interesting in the reaction to the podcast.

205
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 4: I mean, we had some controversial figures on I'll acknowledge that,

206
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 4: and Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk and.

207
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: Some others, but you're right. I mean this idea that

208
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: we can't even have a conversation with the other side.

209
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: You have to They won, thank you, and then it's

210
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 4: the bottom line and by the way, or the notion,

211
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 4: we just have to continue to talk to ourselves or

212
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 4: win the same damn echo chamber. These guys are crushing us.

213
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 4: The Democratic brand is toxic right now. We had a

214
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 4: high water mark two weeks ago, and that was a

215
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 4: CNN pull at twenty nine percent favorability. It's dropped when

216
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 4: the NBC pulled down to twenty seven percent. It's one

217
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 4: thing to make noise, but you also have to make sense.

218
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 4: And I think with this podcast and having the opportunity

219
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 4: to dialogue with people I disagree with, it's an opportunity

220
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 4: to try to find common ground and not take cheap shots.

221
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 4: I'm not looking to put a spoke in the wheel

222
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 4: of their or at least a crowbar and the spokes

223
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 4: of their wheel to trip theme to your point. And

224
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 4: I think it's important Democrats, we tend to be a

225
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 4: little more judgmental than we should be. This notion of

226
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 4: cancel culture, you've been living, You've been on the receiving

227
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 4: end of it for years and years and years. That's

228
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 4: real and Democrats need to own up to that. They've

229
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 4: got to mature.

230
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: Through about this.

231
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: Well, gee, that's all warm and fuzzy and great, isn't it.

232
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: But the truth is.

233
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 8: He he passed, he signed a law, and he backs

234
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 8: a law that allows boys and men to compete in

235
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 8: girls and women's sports from kindergarten through college.

236
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: He signed the law, He praised the law.

237
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: The law is one of those eighty twenty issues where

238
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: eighty percent of the country is against that stuff. He

239
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: goes on a podcast, well, he was on his own

240
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: podcast right with Charlie Kirk, and he said it was

241
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: deeply unfair play that clip.

242
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 4: What do you do, seriously, Charlie Kirk, give us some of.

243
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 9: The better ideas governor, Like for example, I mean like

244
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 9: if you want to, like you have an opportunity to like,

245
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 9: you know, run to the middle and see this man's office.

246
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 9: You're talking to me of all people, it's like you

247
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 9: right now should come out and be like, you know what,

248
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 9: the young man who's about to win the state championship

249
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 9: in the long jump in female sports, that's that that

250
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 9: shouldn't happen. You as the governor should step out and

251
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 9: say no, no, And I appreciate and like, would you

252
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 9: do something like that? Would you say no men in

253
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 9: female sports?

254
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's an issue of fairness. I completely

255
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: agree with you on that. It is an issue affair.

256
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 9: So it's deeply would you speak out against this young man,

257
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 9: baby Hernandez, who right now is going to win the

258
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 9: state championship in the long time?

259
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: See you wrestling with it?

260
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 4: No, I'm not wrestling. I'm not realizing with the fairness issue,

261
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 4: I totally agree with you. By the way, as someone

262
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 4: with four kids, you got two daughters, right, two daughters.

263
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: Had a daughter and.

264
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 4: A wife that went god forbid to Stanford and played

265
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 4: on the junior national soccer team, and a guy who

266
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 4: got into college only because.

267
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: There was left hand. That's a lie you did get

268
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: in college for baseball. So he says it's deeply unfair.

269
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: But ever since this podcast run, which was this podcast ran,

270
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: which was several weeks ago, the law hasn't changed. He

271
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: didn't announce to the legislature that he wants a new

272
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: law repealing the old one. The law still stands that

273
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: boys and men can compete in girls and women's sports

274
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: from kindergarten through college. So he endorses He originally endorsed

275
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: and signed a deeply unfair law. When he signed it,

276
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: he did not say I'm signing a deeply unfair law.

277
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: He signed it, and it becomes law. People hate it.

278
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: It's clearly wrong. It's not even worth debating anymore. Now

279
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: he agrees, oh, deeply unfair. Well change it. Well he doesn't.

280
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 2: And when we come back, Marr asked. Newsome says, you're

281
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: the poster boy for progressive stuff, and they start talking

282
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: about transgender athletes.

283
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: And then I want to tell you I.

284
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: Was inspired by an actual comment from an La Times reader.

285
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: You know, if you scroll to the bottom of La

286
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: Times stories. Now they allow readers to comment, and most

287
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: of it's nuts, but there's one guy who went through

288
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: Newsom's record and he was right on every count. And

289
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, how how about all this being discussed out

290
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: loud and debated.

291
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: We'll we'll talk about it when we come back.

292
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI A.

293
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: Six forty round from one until four every day, and

294
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the

295
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: iHeart app. We're playing clips from Bill Maher's Real Time

296
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO. He had Gavin

297
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: Newsom as a guest, and Newsom is continuing this curious

298
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: media tour where he renounces some of the some of

299
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: the progressive positions that he had that the Democrats have

300
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: and says, well, we've got to change. We're toxic. But

301
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: he keeps all those toxic policies in place. He's such

302
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: a lying hypocrite. They caught him the other day on

303
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: his podcast. He had said, where did LATINX come from?

304
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 2: I never heard of LATINX. Nobody in my office he

305
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: was LATINX. And then one of the stations played a

306
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: montage where he used it in public speeches six times.

307
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just.

308
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 2: He's just bad he's such a public, compulsive, pathological liar,

309
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: and he's bad at hiding it.

310
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: But he thinks he's slick. He looks slick.

311
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: MA asked Newsome about what he says to people who

312
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: say that, hey, Gavin, you're the poster boy for all

313
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: this progressive nonsense.

314
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: Play cut three.

315
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 6: So what do you say to people who say, well,

316
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 6: this sounds all very good, but Governor and you were

317
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 6: the poster boy for a lot of this stuff I

318
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 6: see today the Trump administration is they talked about I

319
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 6: know if this is true, but they talked about the

320
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 6: fact that California had a rule that schools cannot be

321
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 6: wired to notify parents if their kids in school have

322
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 6: changed their gender, their pronouns. That's the kind of thing,

323
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 6: even though it doesn't affect a lot of people, that

324
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 6: makes a lot of people go, well, you know what,

325
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 6: that's the Party without common sense. Now, if that's your state,

326
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 6: how are you are you?

327
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: I just disagree with that.

328
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 4: I mean, the law was you would be fired, a

329
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 4: teacher would be fired if a teacher did not report

330
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 4: or snitch on a kid talking about their gender identity.

331
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: I just think that was wrong. I think teachers should teach.

332
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: I don't think they should be required to turn in kids.

333
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 4: And by the way, turn.

334
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: In that we're talking about their parents.

335
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 6: How can I snitch?

336
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: The idea of a.

337
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 6: Snitch and a parent to me doesn't combine.

338
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: Well, I just I don't.

339
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,479
Speaker 4: But what is the job of a teacher.

340
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: It's to teach.

341
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 4: If Johnny's talking about some identity issue or.

342
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: Some way, would stop stop stop?

343
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: Do you know how much progressive sexual ideology is being

344
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: taught in all the schools, now.

345
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: Public, private?

346
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: You know what was that story we had about ten

347
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: year olds who were being taught about the use of

348
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 2: sex toys.

349
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: Oh y, on Friday? You are talking on Friday?

350
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: Yes, ten year olds being being instructed on how to

351
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 2: use sex toys. What the hell is he talking about?

352
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: They were very proud of this. They don't want the

353
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 2: parents to know. I don't know a single parent who

354
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 2: if their son or daughter is switching section And it's

355
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 2: not that they're attracted to girls or boys, that a

356
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: boy wants to become a girl, a girl wants to

357
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: become a boy, because you know what the next step

358
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: is is then it's it's puberty blockers and hormones and

359
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 2: eventually surgery. Well, if you're a parent, you want to

360
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 2: be there on day one as soon as you know

361
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: about it. He did this whole ideology, This progressive ideology

362
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 2: is so destructive. It has always been hateful of parents,

363
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: dismissive of parents, and he is the post boy for

364
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: this garbage. California is the most progressive, toxic state in

365
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: the country, the most intrusive, and he's signed every one

366
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 2: of these freaking bills. He's been there for six years,

367
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: he signed them all. We didn't have a lot of

368
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 2: this crap six years ago. It's him because it was cool,

369
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: it was in fashion, it was really cool to be progressive,

370
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 2: and so he wanted to be part of that train.

371
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: And now it's not cool anymore in the other forty

372
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: nine states. Oh well, looks like I'm really not for

373
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: that stuff anymore. Will you gonna repeal it?

374
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 7: Oh?

375
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: No, play somewhere this teach.

376
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 4: If Johnny's talking about some identity issue or some issue

377
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 4: about liking someone of the same sex, is that the

378
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 4: teacher's job to then reward that. By the way, in

379
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 4: this law, the teacher can still do that, but they

380
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 4: can't be fired if that's what it can't be fired if.

381
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: That's not what they do, because.

382
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 4: That's something I think is I just think that was fair,

383
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 4: and I don't think that's inapprop.

384
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 6: Seen a lot of people lately talking about this eighty

385
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 6: twenty issue, and I think you are on the other

386
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 6: side of this now, the side with the eighty eighty

387
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 6: being eighty percent of the people in this country. Again,

388
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 6: this is the issue of should biologically born men be

389
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 6: able to compete in women's sport?

390
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: That's tough.

391
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 6: And you know, each time I saw the polling here

392
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 6: in California, they think you're a trader for saying this.

393
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 6: You know, when those kind of people call you a trader,

394
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 6: there's a word for that, electable.

395
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 2: Get on.

396
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 6: If the Democrats and eighty percent of the people are

397
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 6: with you on this now, if the Democrats can't get

398
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 6: with eighty how are they going to do something when

399
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 6: it's a fifty one to forty nine.

400
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 4: No, Look, I get it, and that's it. Look, and

401
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 4: the other side weaponizes these issues.

402
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 8: They do.

403
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: It's just new term, but weaponize the issue. Well, what

404
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: does that mean? You emphasize it? You pointing out so

405
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: everybody understands just how nuts you are. And but the

406
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 2: I'm still waiting for him to say, yeah, it's deeply

407
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: unfair for guys to play in women's sports, and I'm

408
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 2: going to get that law repealed. You notice he doesn't

409
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 2: say that mar does him a favor, saying hey, that

410
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 2: makes you electable.

411
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: In the crowd cheers.

412
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 2: It's like, uh uh, he's not repealing the law. So

413
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 2: it's cheap to go on a talk show and say

414
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: I'm against men playing in women's sports. That costs nothing.

415
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 2: Get the law repealed and sign it. Continue with this.

416
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 4: The other side weaponizes these issues. They dehumanize, they attack,

417
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 4: they demean.

418
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: Look, it's eighty percent of the country. It isn't the

419
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: other side. It's eighty percent of the country you boso,

420
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 2: including a majority of your side.

421
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: Boso played more.

422
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 4: They demean and they've weaponized this issue extraordinarily. Well, that said,

423
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 4: the fundamental question is it fair? And I can give

424
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 4: you example after example. Just in my home state, there

425
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 4: was someone that won a triple jump by eight feet.

426
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,719
Speaker 4: All right, it's just, but it's serious, and we had

427
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 4: two people in the state champion.

428
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: This broke my heart. Two years ago, I'll never forget.

429
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 4: Eighteen months ago, we had two extraordinary athletes that got

430
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 4: into the final state finals.

431
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: Trans athletes got in the state finals. The backlash was

432
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: so bad they.

433
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,239
Speaker 4: Didn't even compete, and the other two people that were

434
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 4: kicked out.

435
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: Weren't able to compete.

436
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 4: It was fundamentally unfair.

437
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, stopped stop.

438
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 2: He said it was fundamentally unfair before for guys to

439
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 2: compete in women's sports. Now we're saying it's fundamentally unfair

440
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: for two trends people to be to be blocked from competing.

441
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 2: Because the example he's using is two guys who said

442
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: they were girls and their entry in that particular event

443
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: caught such a storm of protest they decided not to compete,

444
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 2: And he says it's fundamentally unfair.

445
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: Does anybody track him or am I insane?

446
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: He says it's unfair if two guys like that compete,

447
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 2: and then he says it's fundamentally unfair if.

448
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: These two were were.

449
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 2: Shamed out of competing, were coerced out of competing.

450
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: Well, which is it?

451
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: He's actually on both sides at the same time, in

452
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 2: the same sentence.

453
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,479
Speaker 1: Practically play some more. We weren't able to compete.

454
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 4: It was fundamentally unfair. We haven't been able to figure

455
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 4: that out, So I expressed that as a fierce champion

456
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 4: of lgbt Q rights.

457
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: Yes, and with a record that I don't have with anyone,

458
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 2: you have the credit. I feel like I'm insane. And

459
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: even bellmar who was pretty SUREP didn't catch on to this.

460
00:25:53,520 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 2: He's on both sides at the same time. Let me,

461
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 2: I gotta take a break. We come back. I want

462
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: to read you this clip. I found this highly entertaining.

463
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever read a comment at

464
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: the end of an LA Times story, because most of

465
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: that stuff is just the same crazy people over and

466
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: over again. But this guy encapsulated newsome and this is

467
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: what should be discussed. Because I've kind of had it

468
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 2: up to here with transgender debates. I don't really care

469
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: about the issue very much, except when it's fundamentally unfair

470
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 2: and if you have a daughter and she's losing out

471
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: to guys who claim their women. But as far as

472
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 2: whether as far as the issue of transitor people, it's

473
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 2: like nobody really cares. It's just everybody's got to stay

474
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 2: in their lane competing athletically. Among a few other things.

475
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 2: I'll tell you about this particular comment when we come back.

476
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFII.

477
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 2: We've got Alex Stone from ABC News coming on right

478
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: after Debra's two o'clock report. They're back on Earth, Butch

479
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 2: and Sonny, those are the two astronauts and they spent

480
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 2: nine months in space because Boeing's spaceship didn't work properly,

481
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: and Elon MUCKs Elon Musk's spaceship rescued them and they

482
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: have been talking to the media, and Alex has a

483
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 2: report on that. All right, I wanted to read what

484
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: was I going to read? I don't know. Comment from

485
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 2: the La Times. Thank you, and I hope it's still here.

486
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: Let's see, okay, good.

487
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: So we've been.

488
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 2: Playing clips from Newsom on Bill Maher, who and Newsom

489
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: is tangling himself up into a pretzel, contradicting himself about

490
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: transgender athletes to the point where he doesn't know that

491
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: he's taken both sides of the issue at the same time.

492
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 2: And Bill Maher didn't even realize it. But you got

493
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 2: to listen closely. And I don't know if Newsom does

494
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: this on I assume he does this on purpose, or

495
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 2: maybe he truly is confused. This guy is a commentor

496
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 2: on the La Times news stories about Newsom in his podcasts,

497
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 2: calls his name, calls himself closeter, cologhstr He's got this perfect,

498
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 2: he writes. Who cares what Newsom says? Here's a picture

499
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: of California under Newsom. Schools ranked forty fourth in the nation,

500
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: ninth highest tax burden, worst poverty rate in the nation,

501
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 2: bullet train, highest unemployment rate, mismanaged water conservation and delivery,

502
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: mismanaged forestry and wildfire suppression, mismanaged response to the COVID virus,

503
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: sanctuary cities, twenty one billion dollars in annual subsidies to

504
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: illegal immigrants, Unemployment fraud, you know, the thirty billion that

505
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 2: went out the door, largest home population, soaring, crime, businesses

506
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: fleeing the state, uses skin color and Genitalia to pick

507
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: a US senator, proposed reparations, spent a million to purchase

508
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 2: masks from the Chinese. Remember that scandal. Gross mismanagement of

509
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: the state budget, home insurance crisis. I think we all

510
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: get the picture picture. What would Newsom say about all

511
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 2: of this? Now, that was at least a dozen, maybe

512
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 2: fifteen issues that Newsom has legitimately failed on. I don't

513
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 2: think there's a debate about this. I think if you

514
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 2: looked at I mean, our school's really on the whole stink.

515
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: We do have a high tax burden, we do have

516
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 2: the worst poverty. The bullet train's a disaster, The unemployment

517
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: rate is the highest, The water situation is terrible, the

518
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 2: wildfire situation is dangerous. What he did during COVID was unconscionable.

519
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: Sanctuary cities twenty one billion dollars to illegal alien, unemployment, fraud,

520
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: homelessness soaring, crime, business is fleeing, the state uses skin

521
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 2: color and Genitalia to pick a US senator, reparations mask

522
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: purchases from the Chinese, gross mismanagement of the budget, home

523
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 2: in Church.

524
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: That's eighteen issues.

525
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 2: That's eighteen issues he's failed on that he's made worse.

526
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: Eighteen for eighteen. None of this.

527
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: Ever comes up in any interviews. You just have to

528
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:35,719
Speaker 2: print out this guy's comment and then start reading, Gavin,

529
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: I have eighteen issues. You have screwed up badly on

530
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: Let's go. There's a podcast for you, Gavin's eighteen failures.

531
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: That would be the title. And I have never seen

532
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 2: a single. He has been around for twenty years, from

533
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: San Francisco to the lieutenant governor. He was the mayor,

534
00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 2: lieutenant governor, the governor, right national figure now wants to

535
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:10,719
Speaker 2: be president desperately. He has eighteen failures, and because of

536
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: the extreme progressive bias in the media and his hair

537
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: and his chin, he never has to account for any

538
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: of this. Can you imagine if you failed at eighteen

539
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: on eighteen different projects on your job. What happens to

540
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: a pitcher who loses eighteen straight baseball games?

541
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: He gets cut?

542
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, how many times can a batter go oh for eighteen?

543
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: Because he's got oh for eighteen for six years now.

544
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: So imagine there's a series of oh for eighteen.

545
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: Streaks.

546
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: Imagine you're a quarterback, you're OH for eighteen passing, you're

547
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: not making it to the second half. He is considered

548
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: presidential material after going oh for eight I'm a what

549
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 2: the hell? Are all of you crazy?

550
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: Somebody?

551
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: Either everybody is crazy or I'm crazy one of the two.

552
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: Maybe I am.

553
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: I think it's a little of both. That's kind of

554
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. Is that what you're thinking? Thank you? Yeah,

555
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm so nice to you. I doubt about all your

556
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: words I don't deserve. Minutes later, I'm getting it we're both.

557
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 3: Crazy because I agree with a lot of what you say,

558
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 3: which is, you know where does that put me?

559
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: Well, when it comes to crazy, I'm always looking up

560
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 2: to you. That's why you get your little box. That's right,

561
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: that's right. They put you in that pattern room. Okay,

562
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 2: when we come back, Alex Stone from ABC News, how

563
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 2: about the two astronauts. They're finally speaking out on what

564
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 2: it's like being in space nine months and they're not

565
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 2: holding any grudges. See, I'd be holding grudges.

566
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: I would too.

567
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, although I think you know when you when you're

568
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 3: in that position, you have to know that you know,

569
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 3: anything can happen. You just have to.

570
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: You have to go with the flow.

571
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 2: John, you think they want to fly again? Yes see,

572
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 2: I'm not a flow goer.

573
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: I know that. That's my that's my issue in life.

574
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: I tried.

575
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, now if there's if there's if I see a flow,

576
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: just instinctively, I go the other way. Then I drowned.

577
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 2: Debor Mark led in the CAFI twenty for our newsroom. Hey,
