Canf I 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: Am six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: are on every day from one until four o'clock, and 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: then after four o'clock it's the podcast John Cobelt Show 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: on demand on the iHeart app. And that's where you 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: get to hear whatever you miss during the day, or 8 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: maybe you just want to hear it all over again. 9 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: I am often baffled by everything what goes down in 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: the world. Wow, how media covers stories, weird issues or 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: phrases that get repeated over and over again by everybody 12 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: in politics and the media. And you know, you can 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: almost see the wheels of the propaganda machine working. So 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: I've noticed, if you follow news at all, you can't 15 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: help but notice that there's a word that was rarely 16 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: used in recent years, affordability, which is being repeated over 17 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: and over again. Self evident affordability means do people have 18 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: enough money to buy the stuff they need to live 19 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: at a decent level, and that nation has suddenly maybe 20 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: this happened a week ago Tuesday, become unaffordable and so 21 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: it's become a big weapon to be used for the 22 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: next election cycle against Trump. And I was trying to 23 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: figure out, like, why suddenly keep talking about people upset 24 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: about prices. Prices are high, prices are high, But why 25 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: are people upset when the inflation rate is so much 26 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: less than it was under Biden. Under Biden it was 27 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: over nine percent. Now it's under three percent. And I 28 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: think what's happened is is that Trump campaigned and people 29 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: over promise and distort when they campaign that he was 30 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: going to lower prices. Now I don't remember in my 31 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: lifetime Eddie president actually lowering prices. What he can help 32 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: do is lower the rate of inflation. But that's not 33 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: what he was saying. He said lower prices. And since 34 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: most people have no sense of history or memory and 35 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: they can't do math, that kind of claim should have 36 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: been dismissed immediately. Well, he's not going to do that, 37 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: and because he hasn't, there's no way to do that. 38 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: You can't affect the price of well the inflation rate 39 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: with your policies. And so people, I guess, actually thought 40 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: that the price of stuff was going to go down. 41 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: And when you tell them, well, the inflation rates only 42 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: two point eight percent or whatever it is. Yeah, yeah, 43 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: but that means, you know, the prices are even higher, 44 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: and yeah, that's the problem. During the Biden years, prices 45 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: went upatively twenty two percent. So now this extra let's 46 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: say three percent inflation is on top of that twenty 47 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: two percent, and people still have in their heads, their 48 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: brain is fixed on what did stuff used to cost 49 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: five years ago, right in twenty twenty, like before the pandemic, 50 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: what did stuff cost? And that that's still in everybody's 51 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: heads and they never got used to the last five 52 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: years of inflation. And now Trump comes along and you 53 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: got another three percent inflation. It's like, well, the prices 54 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: still are bad, and they are bad. But I think 55 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: that's the disconnect between Trump's crowds saying well, we've lowered 56 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: the rate of inflation. It's like, well, yeah, but he 57 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: promised to lower the prices, which is a bad promise. 58 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: Nobody's ever done that. That's not possible. I think the 59 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: only time prices go down significantly is if you have 60 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: the Great Depression, and nobody wants that. So the Democrats 61 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: are using that, trying to build that as an argument 62 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: and make a case going into the election cycle next 63 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: November for the midterms for Congress, and then eventually the 64 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: presidential race, which is now three years away. And Gavin 65 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: Newsom has become the leading candidate by all accounts in 66 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: these early polls because he says nasty things about Trump 67 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: and apparently that's all half the country is looking for. 68 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: But if this affordability question is really important to people, 69 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: then the world has got to look at what has 70 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,679 Speaker 1: happened to prices in the state of California since Gavin 71 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: Newsom took over. John Fleischman, political analyst. He has a 72 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: website called so does Itmatter dot com? So does Itatter? 73 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: Dot Com? And you have to pay for many things 74 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: on the website and it's worth it. And he wrote 75 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: a piece this week Gavin Newsom's gift to the state 76 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: soon could be his gift to the nation. Got to 77 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: take seriously this idea that Newsom is the leading candidate, 78 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: because I don't think you want to live in a 79 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: country where Gavin Newsom is the president. And I'm going 80 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: to run down all the price changes here in California, 81 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: and most of this has to do with his policies. 82 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: But you go through this and you realize he is 83 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: like the worst candidate if he's going to be prattling 84 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: about affordability. I remember, he's not going to be running 85 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: against Trump, so he's going to have to promote what 86 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 1: he's done in California. Right, What else is on the resume? 87 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: Eight years of being governor, eight years of being lieutenant governor, 88 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: eight years of being the mayor of San Francisco. What 89 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: do you have to show after twenty four years at 90 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: high levels of government? Well, according to the Legislative Analyst 91 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: Office in Sacramento, you know what it costs people to 92 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: carry a typical mid tier home, like a middle of 93 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: the pack house. You got to pay fifty five hundred dollars. 94 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: Fifty five hundred dollars. That is about eighty percent higher 95 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: than it was five years ago. Even if you look 96 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: at the bottom tier of housing, your monthly payment is 97 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: over three thousand. Yeah, I mean it's extremely expensive here 98 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: for housing, as you know, and for rent. If you 99 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: just want to buy a modest starter home, well, now 100 00:06:52,080 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: you need income that exceeds the statewide median income. Not affordable. 101 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: That's why I'm just I don't understand how everybody's carrying 102 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: on about the affordability and then Newsom is the top candidate. 103 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: All right, that's a disaster. Then electricity, you have a 104 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: house in California, you are paying eighty percent more for 105 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: electricity than the rest of the nation on average, eighty percent. 106 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: Like PGE customers, average rates are eighty percent higher than 107 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: they were in twenty nineteen. So you're paying eighty percent 108 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: higher than the start of Newsom's term and eighty percent 109 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: higher than the rest of the country is right now 110 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: TRIPLEA gas prices. They put out a list state by state. 111 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: I read from them frequently. National average is two ninety five. 112 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: There are states like Oh the Homan where it's down 113 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: to two thirty five. California about four to fifty, So 114 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: we're at four fifty. The nation's averages two ninety five. 115 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: That's over a dollar fifty per gallon higher. Wow, that's 116 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: that means every time you fill up, that's an extra 117 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: thirty bucks you're paying. Times you have fifty weeks a year, 118 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: that's fifteen hundred dollars extra your pay insurance in California. 119 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal found that nationally, premiums have risen fifty 120 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: to seventy five percent. California one of the worst markets. 121 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty, a household needed about one hundred 122 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars in annual income to have a 123 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: mid priced California home. Now you have to be making 124 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: a quarter of a million dollars. The media in rent 125 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: in California is over twenty two hundred a month, fifty 126 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: percent higher than the national medium. And it goes on 127 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: and on like this. It's like, now, these are all 128 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: the big ticket items, electricity, gasoline, rent, mortgages. It's extraordinarily 129 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: high here, way higher than the rest of the country. 130 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: So how does Newsom come riding in and prattle about affordability. 131 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: I'm baffled by this. I completely don't understand it. He's 132 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: getting all kinds of tongue baths in the media. Now. 133 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: Everybody's racing to do the profile and Gavin Newsom. Hardly 134 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: a day goes by where I don't read like a 135 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: new interview, a new profile, a new analysis on Gavin Newsom, 136 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: and in the same publication there'll be some lengthy analysis 137 00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: about how things are so unaffordable in this country. Hello, 138 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: I have there, They're they're they're doing this in insane 139 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: cheerleading for a guy who just just go by the 140 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: numbers as objectively as possible. Complete failure at providing an 141 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: affordable life for most people. Take his name away in 142 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: his party away. Look at the prices in all fifty 143 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: states for electricity, gasoline, rent, mortgage. If you saw his numbers, 144 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: you'd say, well, not that guy who is that? That's 145 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: a bad record there. How come all the other forty 146 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: nine governors in the other forty nine states have better numbers. Boy, 147 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: that is that is the word. Well, highest inflation ray, 148 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: highest unemployment rate, and you know, I can go on 149 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: through the list talk more when we come back. 150 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI A 151 00:10:58,559 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 2: M six forty. 152 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: If I am six' forty more stimulating talk.
