1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:00,760
Speaker 1: Can't.

2
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 2: I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt

Speaker 2: Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on every day from

00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: podcast later. All right, Yeah, you have to be on

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 2: because we first of all, we had Michael Sellenberger on

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: to talk about Gavin Newsom's disastrous homeless policy, and we

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: also just had lor Angel on to talk about the

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: Diddy trial and all the heinous things he did to

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: his girlfriend. Michael Monks came on to talk about the

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: Menendez brothers maybe setting free, and that's just part of

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: what we've done. When in our next segment, we have

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: this clip of Gavin Newsom getting exasperated, emotional, angry with

16
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: all the homeless people in California. He's in his seventh

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: year as governor and now he's upset with the homeless

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: people and he actually says, how do these people keep

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: getting reelected? That is a great question. Also, thank you

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: to Desiree and Gary Matthias in Oklahoma. They sit in

21
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: a photo the new lowest temperature Noah's the new lowest

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: gas price that we know of, two dollars and thirty

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: six cents, two thirty six. In Oklahoma, it is about

24
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: five bucks a gallon. Here in California headed for nine

25
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: dollars a gallon. See if Newsom survives that, Let's get

26
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: Tony Strickland on state senator from Huntington Beach. Newsom released

27
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: a new version of the budget today, and Strickland has

28
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 2: a lot to say about that. Tony welcome, How are.

29
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: You, John? Can you hear me?

30
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:48,279
Speaker 2: Tony?

31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: Yes?

32
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: How are you welcome?

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm good? Can you hear me? Yes?

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: I can hear you now clearly? All right? What is

35
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: this new budget about that he's got Because I'm looking

36
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: at a headline where a Newsom says there there's another

37
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: twelve billion dollars missing, but all the money he's given

38
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: to illegal alien healthcare is about twelve billion dollars. So

39
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: I think there's a connection there. You tell me, yeah, No.

40
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: The California doesn't have a revenue problem. It has a

41
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: wasteful spending problem. The governor just again you said it

42
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: before I came on. He wants to blame everybody only

43
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: in politics. Can you do a bad job and try

44
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: to blame everybody else. He blamed the homeless situation on

45
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: local cities and counties. Now he's trying to blame the

46
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: budget on the federal government. He just needs to look

47
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: in the mirror and look at the watefile spending. He

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: put another billion dollars into the high speed rail. This

49
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: is a project that everybody knows is never going to

50
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: be built as proposed. He's wasting billions of dollars on

51
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: healthcare for our legals in his new proposed boat budget.

52
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: He now is spending over five billion to do that.

53
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: And you know he has this slush fund of fifty

54
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: million dollars to the Attorney General Bonta to quote unquote

55
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: trump proof to do furthest lawsuits that he knows are

56
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: going to lose in federal court. But the one thing

57
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: he didn't John fund is Proposition thirty six. This is

58
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: an initiative that passed seventy percent of the vote in

59
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: all fifty eight counties across the state of California voted

60
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: for this initiative. Public safety should be the number one

61
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: thing that we should fund. The most central role of

62
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: government is public safety, and he has yet to fund

63
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: an initiative. I can't think of many initiatives the past,

64
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: all fifty eight counties, even though those liberal counties San

65
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: Francisco and Marine voted an affirmative of Top thirty six.

66
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: Right, and as makes theft a crime again, makes drug

67
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: addiction a crime again in a public correct use, and

68
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: gives people the choice of either going to jail or

69
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: going to get treatment for their drug problems. But you

70
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: need money to provide the treatment.

71
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: Right exactly, and so he's not funding that. And then

72
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: let's talk about homeless again. I have a unique perspective

73
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: that you know, John, I served in the legislature in

74
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: twenty twelve. That budget ten years ago, a little over

75
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: ten years ago, was ninety eight billion. Now it's over

76
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: three hundred billion dollars. In fact, we've increased the government

77
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: spending triple in the last ten years, and population has

78
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: gone away from California. We don't have triple the better services.

79
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: In fact, things are worse than ever before. Crime is

80
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: on the rise, Homelessness is everywhere, and we have a

81
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: crumbling infrastructures far.

82
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: Dollars is the money just getting stolen? Because I'm starting

83
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 2: to think, like you know, between the.

84
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: Nonprofit go ahead, go ahead. No, I'm sorry, sir, go

85
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: ahead No.

86
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: The nonprofit homeless industry, I think are a bunch of thieves.

87
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: I think all the people connected high speed rail are

88
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 2: a bunch of thieves. You know that billions were stolen

89
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 2: for during COVID, for the unemployment funds, and now this

90
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: homeless thing. I mean, Michael Schellenberger said he thinks it's

91
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: up to thirty seven billion that Newsom has spent since

92
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. It's just got to be politically connected parasites

93
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 2: and thieves that have taken the money and not produced

94
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: any anything of any good for anyone.

95
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: Well, I couldn't agree with you more. And my dad

96
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: always taught me, if you dig a hole for yourself,

97
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: the best way you got that hole of stop digging.

98
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: Stop wasting billions of dollars. And at the same time, John,

99
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: he keeps increasing every single year for the last four years,

100
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: he's increased the gas tax. And the projection now is

101
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: next year the gas price is gonna be eight dollars

102
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: a gallon. You know this is a governor. When Prop

103
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: thirty six is not funded, when he continues to you know,

104
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: hurt people at the pomp the people who least can

105
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: afford it, who are living paycheck to paycheck. This fall

106
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: is disproportioning on those hard working California families. This legislature

107
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: and this governor are so out of touch with everyday

108
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: citizens across the state.

109
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: So we got two listeners send us photographic proof. They're

110
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: paying two dollars thirty six cents a gallon for gas

111
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma two thirty six and here it's an average

112
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: of five bucks headed to eight eight fifty and beyond.

113
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: Is there anything any of us can do to stop this,

114
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: because this is really psycho.

115
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: Stop sending these people who are there who are voting

116
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: for this stuff. And I do believe people are starting

117
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: to wake up here in the state of California, the

118
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: mismanagement of the fires in southern California. I do think

119
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: people are starting to wake up with the billions of

120
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: dollars that are wasteful spending. John this is the first

121
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: time in California history since the Gold Rush, more people

122
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: are leaving California than are coming in. Since the gold Rush.

123
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: People are leaving the oasis and the beautiful weather. We

124
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: have go to the middle of the desert in Arizona

125
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: to go to the humidity in Florida, go to the

126
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: cold weather in Idaho, all because the policies of Gavin

127
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: Dusom and the super Majority. I do believe people are

128
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: waking up when Prop thirty six gets seventy percent of

129
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: the vote and fifty eight counties going the firm. I

130
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: think people are waking up to the mismanagement, and I'm

131
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: hopeful that we turn the state around and make it

132
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: golden again.

133
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: Did you hear his his rant today at a press conference?

134
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: I did. It is pathetic. I mean, again, here's a

135
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: guy that isn't Governor John. I've started with four other governors,

136
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: and this is the most detached governor I've ever seen.

137
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: He doesn't weigh in on any of these issues. He really,

138
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: really really wants to be President of the United States,

139
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: but he's not, and he's worried about running for president

140
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: instead of being governor and doing the job that people

141
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: elected him to do.

142
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: I We're gonna play play the whole clip in the

143
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: next segment because I want to go through the whole

144
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 2: thing lined by line. It's crazy. I mean, he's he's

145
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: losing it's losing.

146
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: Touch, got to touch. He's almost like the Marie Antoinette

147
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: let him eat cake. He just doesn't. He just doesn't

148
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: understand what average hard working families across the state are

149
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: living through. Again, just look at the gas prices.

150
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: How does a how does like a working class family

151
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: deal with eight nine dollars a gallon gas? That's not possible.

152
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: You can't do it. How do you? How do you?

153
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: How do you vote for these folks who who are

154
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: increasing the gases to this price where they just can't

155
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: afford it, and they they're living paycheck to paycheck. He said,

156
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: keep putting these people in office.

157
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: He says in this clip that we're going to play.

158
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: How do these people keep getting re elected? They're all

159
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: his party? We have one party rule. They're all his party.

160
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: And these mandate, these mandates to eliminate gas power of

161
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: cars is ridiculous, these ev mandates that they're pushing down. Uh,

162
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: not everybody can afford a fifty thousand dollars car. One

163
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: and two. The worst thing you can do in California, John,

164
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: is everybody plug in an electric car. At the same time,

165
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: we don't have enough energy to do that. We have

166
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: really blackouts like we had in the early two thousands.

167
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: We just don't have enough power supply. We don't have

168
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: enough infrastructure. And there there. You know, these people who

169
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: are doing this in the legislature. They're driving cars into

170
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: the legislature, but they're trying to outlock cars for everybody else.

171
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: It's almost like what we had in terms of the shutdown. Uh,

172
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: you know with Gavin Newsom went the French laundry and

173
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: had dinner, but he didn't want anybody else to have

174
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: to go to dinner. Yeah, his kids got to go

175
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: in person school, but he didn't want anybody else to do. So.

176
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: So these these members of these legislators are all driving cars,

177
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: but they want to outlock cars for everybody else.

178
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: Tony Strickland, thank you for coming on, California State Senator

179
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: out of Huntington Beach. We will talk again soon. When

180
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 2: we come back. We will play you to the clip

181
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: of Gavin Newsom going on his ranch during the press conference.

182
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 2: This this requires one of these line by line analysis

183
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: that we'll get into you not if you haven't heard this,

184
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 2: you're not just not gonna believe it.

185
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A

186
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: M six forty.

187
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: Now, this is gonna take us a little while to

188
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 2: go through. Uh. I'm so glad. Eric Sclar saw this

189
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: press conference the budget knew some went off on a rant,

190
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: and he was very heartfelt and impassioned, and you would

191
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: think that some alien took over his body and his

192
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 2: brain because suddenly he noticed he's in year seven of

193
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: being the governor. You know, he has been in office

194
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: either in San Francisco or Sacramento since nineteen ninety seven.

195
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: We're talking twenty eight years of being in office, and

196
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: he suddenly discovered there's a lot of homeless people laying

197
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: on the ground. Let's play this. It probably take us

198
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 2: a little while to go through its because we've got

199
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: to stop and start this because you know, we can't

200
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: let anything go by. Go ahead, begin.

201
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to point fingers, but my gosh, the

202
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 4: state has never done more in its history. We flooded

203
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 4: the zone. It's time to move on from the stale

204
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 4: talking points and step up. There are counties that are

205
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 4: doing credible work. We applaud them. There are many cities

206
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 4: doing sut ordinary work. I applaud them. There are many

207
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 4: cities that are not in many counties that are not.

208
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 4: They just have to do their job.

209
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: Stop there he's talking about flooding the zone with money.

210
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 2: Michael Sellenberger says, thirty seven billion dollars has been spent

211
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 2: on homeless money from the state. This doesn't even count

212
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 2: the billion spent by the county and the city. You know,

213
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: proposition H and HHH. And you agreed to double the

214
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 2: homeless tax in La City last year. Remember all that

215
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: in La County doesn't even count that. This is thirty

216
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 2: seven billion dollars from the state. So they flooded the zone.

217
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: And he says many counties haven't stepped up and done

218
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: the job. Well, was there any oversight from you since

219
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: you're the one sending out the thirty seven billion dollars?

220
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: What do you How could some how could counties and

221
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: cities be getting money for seven years and not do

222
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: anything productive? And only now on what May the fourteenth

223
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 2: to twenty you're speaking out And he sounds all righteous

224
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: and indignant as if he just discovered this today.

225
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 4: Play some more and I am just on behalf of

226
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: the taxpayers of the state and the spirit.

227
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: Oh stop there on behalf of the taxpayers. You've done

228
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: nothing on behalf of the taxpayers. What did you do?

229
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: You shut our kids out of school? For a year

230
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 2: and a half. You closed thousands and thousands of businesses permanently.

231
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: While you were running off to rich restaurants and your

232
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: kids were going to private school. You gave us the

233
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: highest tax rates ever in America. Here for a state,

234
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: we're paying five bucks for gas in Oklahoma, they're paying

235
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: two thirty six on behalf of the taxpayer. Look if

236
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: I accidentally throw up in the middle of this, I apologize.

237
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: In advance play some more of Ashley's question.

238
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 4: I'm not interested. I'm just not as a taxpayer, not

239
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 4: just governing. I'm not interested in finding failure anymore. I'm not.

240
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 4: I won't time to do your job. People are dying

241
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 4: on their watch, dying on their watch.

242
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: Stop stop. Do you know how many people die every

243
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 2: week just in Los Angeles on the streets, homeless people

244
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: overdosing or dying of some you know, terrible disease they caught.

245
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 2: There's about three well, there's about three thousand a year.

246
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm I'm just I'm utterly flumboxed by how

247
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: he because there's there's there's at least I think six

248
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: to seven people dying on the streets every day, which

249
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: would get up. It's about the two thousand and three

250
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: thousand range. I've seen different estimates just in LA not

251
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: counting San Francisco or San Jose or San die don't

252
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: And now you've noticed the death in the streets. How

253
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: many people you think have died in San Francisco since

254
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: you became a supervisor there in nineteen ninety seven? Can

255
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: you imagine how many people died? How many people died

256
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: while you're mayor? He killed off thirty people that he

257
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: released from prison during COVID. He gave him a COVID

258
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: leave and thirty of them committed murder are now back

259
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: in prison. Can we count those two? How many times

260
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: is he elected? He's elected twice as the supervisor, twice

261
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: as mayor, twice as lieutenant governor, twice as governor. He's

262
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: been elected eight times. And you'll hear him later in

263
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: this piece, go how do these people keep getting reelected?

264
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: He got elected eight times? And what has he brought us?

265
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: By time he leaves in a year and a half,

266
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 2: we're looking at eight to nine dollars a gallon for gas?

267
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: And then and then what and then he goes running

268
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: for president? And I guess when he's running for president

269
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: we're paying nine dollars gas. He's gonna be blaming on

270
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: whoever the new governor is. We'll continue with this coming up.

Speaker 2: seven seven moist eighty six, eight seven seven moist eighty six.

285
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: For Friday. All right, we were playing this clip from

286
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom had a press conference about the budget, and

287
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: so I'm walking to the lunch room to get a

288
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: soda and I see Channel five is summarizing Newsom's press conference.

289
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: Now he has a twelve billion dollar budget deficit. He's

290
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: claiming it's gonna rise another sixteen billion dollars because of

291
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: what he calls the Trump slump. And they had a

292
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: slide up on the screen the Trump slump. What the

293
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: hell is he talking about? There is no Trump slump.

294
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: He's blaming it on the tariffs. The tariffs haven't kicked

295
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: in yet to do any damage. I mean, I don't

296
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: know what he's trying. He's lying. He's the one who's

297
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: blown all the money. It's easily proven. Do you know

298
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: the last year of Jerry Brown as governor in twenty eleven,

299
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 2: he his budget was ninety eight billion dollars. Newsom blew

300
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: it up to three hundred and thirty billion. Ninety eight

301
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 2: billion to three hundred and thirty billion, more than triple

302
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 2: the budget. He claims he's got another twelve billion dollar

303
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: in deficit and another sixteen billion coming because of Trump.

304
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 2: It's fascinating. This is what a narcissistic sociopath does. Always

305
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 2: blames everybody else. He's blaming local governments for the homeless

306
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: people laying in the street. He's blaming Trump for the

307
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 2: budget shortfall. It's him. It's him. He's the one who

308
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 2: shoveled out thirty seven billion dollars and didn't hold anyone

309
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: to account and by his own admission, he doesn't know

310
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 2: where it went, the Trump slump and actually put Newsom

311
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: slide up on Channel five like it's a real thing

312
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 2: of the Trump slump. You got the audio? Yeah, yeah,

313
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 2: play that.

314
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 5: Best to describe. This is a Trump slump all across

315
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 5: the United States. It's reflected in adjustments by every independent economist,

316
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 5: by leading banks.

317
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: Oh forgot, stop that. Stop for god's sakes, you have

318
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: the highest the highest income tax in the nation, the

319
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: highest sales tax in the nation, the highest gas tax

320
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: in the nation. Okay, the property taxes are not the

321
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 2: highest on a percentage basis, but we have the wealthiest property,

322
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: we have the most expensive property, so you're getting an

323
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: enormous amount of money from that. Anyway, even with Prop thirteen,

324
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: that he's such a liar, I there's got to be

325
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: another word besides liar. End up using that thirty times

326
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: a day. Is he fooling anybody? And how about the

327
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: twelve billion for legal alien healthcare? Anybody challenge him on

328
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 2: that twelve billion legal alien health and his original deficit

329
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: just happened to be twelve billion. These are people ought

330
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 2: to be deported, and he's giving him free money. Why

331
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: do you think they show up in California? You get

332
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 2: health care for the rest of your life guaranteed. Somewhere

333
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 2: on TikTok in Spanish and maybe one hundred and seventy

334
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 2: other languages, is a message that if you come to California,

335
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 2: you get free health care for the rest of your

336
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: freaking life. All right, let's pick up on his press

337
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: conference here New some getting upset over the homeless situation.

338
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 4: How do people get reelected? Look at these encampments. They're disgrace.

339
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 4: They've been there years and years and years and years.

340
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 4: I've heard that same rhetoric for years. People are dying,

341
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 4: kids are being born.

342
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 2: Stop stop stop, and he goes, how do they get reelected?

343
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 2: We have one party rule, how do we get how

344
00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 2: do they get reelected? Is he recommending that people vote Republican? Yeah,

345
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 2: there's a lot of areas where there aren't any Republicans running,

346
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 2: Like in a lot of the LA elections, you have

347
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: a choice between one Democrat who's nuts and one Democrat

348
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 2: who's nuts. And socialists in San Francisco. Who are you

349
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 2: gonna vote for there? They don't have any Republicans running,

350
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 2: they don't have any independence running. They don't have anybody

351
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 2: running but left wing progressives. And then they have thousands

352
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: of homeless people in the streets and he'll blame Trump.

353
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: How do they get reelected? I can't believe he said.

354
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 4: That, Well, how do people get reelected?

355
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: And there's homeless encampments everywhere? Canon, I did a show

356
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 2: from a massive homeless encampment along the Santa Ana River.

357
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 2: I believe it was in twenty seventeen. We did it.

358
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 2: That was the first big homeless show we did. It

359
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: was eight years ago. Did one from skid Row shortly thereafter. Yeah,

360
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: it was in the second term of Garcetti. When well, no,

361
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: it's at the towards the end of the first term

362
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 2: of GARSEETI everything. I'm in completely Haywar. I play some

363
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 2: more overdoses.

364
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 4: I met a young man literally was out there doing

365
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 4: Project Homeless Connect, reaching out in the four or five freeway.

366
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 4: I found out the next day he was dead in

367
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 4: this name of compassion. Because we had a notice I

368
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 4: could have helped him. That night, I felt like a fraud.

369
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 4: I felt like I let him down.

370
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 2: Wait, hold on a second, We gotta be more. I

371
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: felt like a fraud. I felt like a fraud. Doesn't

372
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: he know here in La between two and three thousand

373
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 2: people die every year, mostly of overdoses in the streets.

374
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: He found one kid. I feel like a fraud because

375
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 2: I didn't help him. He didn't help anybody. You enriched

376
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 2: all your politically connected parasite buddies in the fake homeless industry.

377
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 2: You big stupid fraud. You you could have helped him.

378
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: What were you gonna do? I feel like a fraud.

379
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 2: You know, you could really design like a graduate course

380
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 2: for maybe a for psychiatric students in identifying a narcissistic,

381
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 2: sociopathic or maybe psychopathic lunatic. How do you identify the

382
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: science and just run videos and audios and avenues them.

383
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: It's like when you hear people talking like this, play

384
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: some more.

385
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 4: I felt like a fraud. I felt like I let

386
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 4: him down. We got to be more aggressive. I saw

387
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 4: a young child, a young kid in San Diego is

388
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 4: with the Mayor of San Diego right before a State

389
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 4: of the state. This poor kid was addicted to meth.

390
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 4: He was a wonderful kid, and he said, I'm really

391
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 4: glad you came. He goes, I'm struggling, and there in

392
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 4: the tent with his wife was a newborn baby. He said,

393
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 4: thank you for coming.

394
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: Stop this in a second kind of throw it. Michael

395
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 2: Sellenberger we had him on in the first hour. You

396
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: go to the podcast be posted after four o'clock. Listen

397
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 2: to Michael Sellenberger. He was on in the first hour

398
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: between one thirty and two. He had a story at

399
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: his website public dot News. He wrote, nobody has done

400
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 2: more to increase homelessness than Gavin Newsom. He spent an

401
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 2: astonishing thirty seven billion dollars to increase homelessness by twenty

402
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 2: four percent, allowing outdoor he emptied jails and prisons during COVID,

403
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: allowed outdoor fentanyl markets to flourish, decriminalized hard drug use

404
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: in shoplifting, giving addicts cash and unconditional free housing, and

405
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: opposing demands by Republicans and others over the last twenty

406
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 2: years that Newsom reverse course all the problems he either

407
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 2: made worse or failed to fix. He refused to enforce

408
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 2: standards or demand outcomes. Mental health treatment depends on chronically

409
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: underfunded county systems, burdened with overlapping responsibilities, drug addiction services

410
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: are fragmented, among other things. US just didn't fail to

411
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: fix the system. He implemented and entrenched it. And now

412
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 2: he's looking around in shock, trying to play the role

413
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 2: of an outraged taxpayer and citizen, feeling like he failed

414
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: these dead homeless men. Well, how many thousands of homeless

415
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: people you think died under his watch? If it's two

416
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 2: to three thousand a year in LA alone, we're talking

417
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: tens of thousands of people over the seven years.

418
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am.

419
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 2: Sixty moistline eight seven seven Moist eighty six, eight seven

420
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: seven Moist eighty six, and after four o'clock we post

421
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 2: the podcast. We've got a half hour with Michael Schellenberger

422
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: in our number one talking about why Gavin Newsom is

423
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 2: the worst governor in America, focusing on the homelessness. We

424
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 2: had Lore Angle on covering the the ditty, disgusting sexual

425
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 2: mess that trial in New York City and Michael Monks

426
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: on about the Menendez brothers maybe getting out early, which

427
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: is another disgusting mess at a lot of disgusting stories. Today,

428
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: a lot of like a lot of psychopaths, recovered the

429
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: gas prices today. I mentioned before we had two listeners,

430
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 2: Desiree and Gary, send us from Oklahoma two dollars and

431
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: thirty six cents for regular with a photograph to prove it.

432
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 2: So I looked up the prices and on trip La,

433
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: the cheapest average price is two sixty five Mississippi. In

434
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: Oklahoma it's two seventy nine. So they got a deal there.

435
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: I mean they got forty cents cheaper than the average price.

436
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: Uh so Mississippi average two sixty five, Tennessee two seventy one,

437
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 2: Louisiana two seventy two, Alabama two seventy five, Texas to

438
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 2: seventy eight, and it goes on and uh you know

439
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: other big time Democratic states with high taxes are much

440
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 2: cheaper than California and New Jerseys at two ninety eight

441
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: a gallon Massachusetts two ninety seven. New York is three ten.

442
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: There is no excuse for this. And then you get

443
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 2: to California, it's four ninety one. That's the average. And

444
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, Michael Miche from USC is right is

445
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: is math makes sense? You were going to end up

446
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: paying eight dollars eight fifty maybe nine dollars a gallon,

447
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: because there's two big refineries that are closing in the

448
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: next year and a half, and there's also a huge

449
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: sixty five cent price increase coming from the California Air

450
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 2: Resources Board. Other states are pulling out of electric vehicle mandates.

451
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 2: Virginia just did and Maryland just did, and both of

452
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: them were tied to California. They had adopted a law

453
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 2: that says, whatever deadlines California sets on EV's, then we

454
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 2: have them too. Well, they have reversed that course, they

455
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 2: have cut their connections to California. I can't imagine why

456
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: anybody would do that to begin with. So where well,

457
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: you know, let's hear that. Let's hear that he's getting

458
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 2: rid of this stupid EV mandate. Let's hear that he's,

459
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: you know, he cancel all the taxes, both on the

460
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: refineries and on us, and they'll knock a dollar fifty

461
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 2: off the price of gas right off the bat. Let's

462
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 2: hear that his reboot here as some kind of moderate

463
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: person is complete and total bull crap, horse species sense lies,

464
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:09,040
