Actually, you can always find our past shows 12 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: online on the iHeart app. We got two ends of 13 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: the Moistline coming up three twenty three point fifty, so 14 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: you want to be there for that. The the new 15 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: year is not going to start for what another almost 16 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: three weeks, and it's already going badly because in February, 17 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: here's something to look forward to. This is going to 18 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: lead to a meat orgy. This is going to lead 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: to the tongue bathing of all time, The world's largest 20 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: tongue bath is when journalists start covering Gavin Newsom's new memoir. 21 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: He has some kind of biography coming out that he's written, 22 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: and there was there's promotional videos out and apparently he's 23 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: going to reveal all his sensitive, vulnerable, traumatic episodes that 24 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: he's lived through, as if any of this is true 25 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: now he is a compulsive, pathological, psychopathic liar. I don't 26 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: know if I'm being redundant there, but I just want 27 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: to make the point that he compulsively lies and nothing 28 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: bothers him whatever situation he's in. He when he's when 29 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: he's pressed, he just makes up a whopper and it's 30 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: fascinating help people buy into it because of his looks. 31 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: I know somebody the other day who was standing in 32 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: the line trying to get into an event, and a couple, 33 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: a little older couple, was talking to them and they 34 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: started bringing up politics. And this couple said, oh, we 35 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: just love Gavin Newsom. He's a great governor and we 36 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: think he's going to make a great president. And person 37 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: I knew, said, why do you think that? Well, we 38 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: saw him speak. You know he speaks very well. Yes, yes, 39 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: he speaks very well, and so he's going to make 40 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: a wonderful print. 41 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 2: And I said, well, what else did they? They didn't 42 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: say anything else. That was it. He speaks well. 43 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 1: Anyway, sometime in February, this stupid thing is going to 44 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: come out and he has a co writer. First I 45 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: heard of this. It's like, he didn't write this. He 46 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: can't write. He's got an IQ of about ninety three. 47 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: Literally he does. And it was that SAT scores where 48 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: it was nine to sixty, which is below average. I 49 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: don't think he's got any writing skills. But shockingly, the 50 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: co writer, and I know you're not going to believe this, 51 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: so you grab the sides of your chair is a 52 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: former Los Angeles Times reporter. Well, of course, you know, 53 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: if the Time still had a newsroom, which I don't 54 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: think it has. I think, well, mostly it's community college 55 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: dropouts who are writing for the paper, and I think 56 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: most of them write from their childhood bedroom because they're 57 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: all living with their parents because they're very young. You 58 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: got to look at the bios of the writers. They're 59 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: very young, and they hadn't been with The Times very long, 60 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: and they come from community colleges and internships at radio 61 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: stations out in the Inland Empire, and they probably get 62 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: paid almost nothing. In fact, with the minimum wage going 63 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: up to thirty bucks an hour for restaurants and hotels 64 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: for the Olympics, they probably would do better if they 65 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: got a hotel job cleaning toilets, but they work for 66 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: the La Times. But I think usually if there was 67 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: a newsroom and somebody like Newsom would walk in, Newsom 68 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: walks in and say, Hey, who wants to write my autobiography? 69 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: Everybody in the place would shoot up out of their chairs. 70 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: Me me, oh, Gavin over here, Me I'll write your biography. 71 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 2: I'll do it. Oh, I love you, Gavin, and a 72 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: tongue bath would ensue. 73 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: Now, the tongue bath that's coming is going to be national, 74 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: maybe international, because all these progressive left wing pseudo journalists 75 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: are going to be slobbering all over this guy. So 76 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: he's trying to position this that, in fact, let me 77 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: let me read you the exact quote here, that this 78 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: is this is a He says this in his promotional video. 79 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: This is a story about a kid who always felt 80 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: like he wasn't quite enough. Oh, for God's sakes, this 81 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: is a truly vulnerable book. It was incredibly hard, even 82 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: painful to write. 83 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: And he knows that. 84 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: Everybody thinks he's a rich snot because he is a 85 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: rich snot. Got a nine million dollar house, and he's 86 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: got all these wineries and restaurants and businesses. And he 87 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: claimed on a podcast recently that he grew up eating 88 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: macaroni and cheese and wonderbread, and everybody laughed at him. 89 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: But he's still trying to push this sort of because 90 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: he's going to tell what it was like to grow 91 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: up with a father whose job it was to manage 92 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: the trust of the Getty family. At some point the 93 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: trust was broken up into four parts years ago, and 94 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: his father engineered that deal, and then his dad took 95 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: over managing the trust for one of the four heirs. 96 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: And of course the Gettys were this just shockingly wealthy family. 97 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: It's oil money from J. Paul Getty and that's who 98 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: Lucim's dad was. But he's trying to claim he had 99 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: one foot in wealth and one foot in near poverty 100 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: because his mother didn't have much money. So I don't know, 101 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: dad like bolted on mom and left. 102 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: Her in ruins. Maybe we'll find it out. 103 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: Because it's so vulnerable and incredibly painful, But he's trained 104 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: keeps trying to sell this idea that he was a 105 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: poor kid. And if you've seen the photos of him 106 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: when he was in his early twenties, he hung out 107 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: with other very wealthy young young guys. 108 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: San Francisco. 109 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: They're royalty, really, And there's a photo of the four 110 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: of them back in I guess it would be the 111 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: nineteen eighties, all with their slick hair and slick suits 112 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: and just looking as obnoxious as hell. You look at 113 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: these four and you just want to punch them all 114 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: in the snout. And he's that guy, and now he's 115 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: got to try to pretend no, really, I came from wonderbread, 116 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: macaroni and cheese. So he does a promotional video and 117 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: he's trying to do this stick where he's going to 118 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: be self deprecating. He says in the video, people only 119 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: see a stark white shirt, blue suit, and yeah, the 120 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: gelled hair, and they think, oh, I know this guy. 121 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: And this is the story about a kid who always 122 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: felt like he wasn't quite enough. By the way, this 123 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: is his second second book, and this thing'll probably sell 124 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: because he's running for president and in the early polling 125 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: primarily because the name recognition, and he screams about Trump 126 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: every day. He's the top candidate. And then so listen 127 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: to this greasing. The La Times writes a promotional book 128 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: tour would offer a chance to meet with voters in 129 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: swing states and appear on a range of media platforms. 130 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: A memoir specifically allows the governor to reintroduce himself on 131 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: his own terms at a moment when national interest in 132 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: his political future is growing. Now, this is going to 133 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: be fun in February. We're going plenty of material for 134 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: the show because we're going to see how almost nobody 135 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: in the media is going to write about the excessive 136 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: taxation combined with a huge budget deficit, the worst homeless 137 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: situation in the state, the twenty four billion dollars in 138 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: homeless money that disappeared, the seventeen billion dollars for high 139 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: speed rail that's never been built, the thirty three billion 140 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: dollars that went out the joy during COVID. No one's 141 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: going to talk about how during for unemployment benefits. No 142 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: one's going to talk about how he ruined the childhoods 143 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: of millions of children by shutting down the school for 144 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: no reason for a year and a half, the crime 145 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: waves that we've suffered from, the illegal alien healthcare that 146 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: he gives out, which by the way, he's bragging about 147 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: do we have that clip? Do we have that clip 148 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: that I had rego get. We don't have to play 149 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: it now, but maybe. In the next segment, he did 150 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: an interview with The New York Times Ezra Cline, who 151 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: was a columnist there, and he actually bragged about giving 152 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: illegal aliens healthcare even though it costs US thirteen billion dollars. 153 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: And what else we got, We got the highest unemployment 154 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: rate in the state, highest inflation rate, highest housing costs, 155 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: highest rent costs, you name it. But the book is 156 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: going to give him a chance to introduce himsel off 157 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: on his terms. 158 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 2: So we come back. I'll play the clik. 159 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: By the way, the writer is former LA Times reporter 160 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: Mark Ares. Please pick me, pick me, I'll write your book. 161 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: I wonder if he's going to mention in the book 162 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: that one foot in wealth.

CHRISTI wrote back, Okay, I'll let 486 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: you know now you probably don't understand what that means. 487 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: Astro Gallas is the milkvetch plant. And these state park 488 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: employees were afraid that the milkvetch plant was going to 489 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,719 Speaker 1: be trampled by the LA Fire Department and destroyed by 490 00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: bulldozers to cut a fire line, so they didn't cut 491 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: the fire line. They didn't put out the smoldering remains 492 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: of the fire, you know, the hot rocks and tree stumps. 493 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: The smoke coming from the tree stumps and from the 494 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: ground wasn't put out, and they couldn't put it out. 495 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 2: Remember, firefighters had to roll up their hoses, they had 496 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 2: had to leave. 497 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: The state parks employees kicked them out, bullied them out 498 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: because they didn't want the milk vetch plant being trampled 499 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: either by the firefighters or be destroyed by the bulldozers. 500 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: And I asked Roger Bailey, well, had they cut the fire, 501 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: had they cut the fire line there and put out 502 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: the hotspot, Pacific Palisades would not have burned, right, And 503 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: he said, yeah, Pacific Palisades would not have burned had 504 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: they tamped out the rest of the fire the hotspot, 505 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: and had they created the fire break. So it came 506 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: down to the milk vetch plant. I remember reading about 507 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: the milk fitch plant a few weeks after the fire happened, 508 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: because the Ally Times had a story and it was 509 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: from a slightly different angle that there was no fire 510 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: road for the fire trucks because they weren't allowed to 511 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: pave a fire road up in the hills near the 512 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: Palisades because again, they didn't want to destroy the milk 513 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: vetch plants. You know, you got to bulldoze a path 514 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: and then lay down asphalt by by milk vetch plants. 515 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: And then again the reason they didn't create a fire 516 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: break and they didn't have the firefighters put out the 517 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: hotspot the milk vetch plants. And I know you're probably 518 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: thinking that I'm kidding, I'm engaged in hyperbole. Maybe I'm 519 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: mentally ill and lost my mind. No, that's the truth. 520 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: If you want to hear it, it's on the podcast 521 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: the two o'clock hour yesterday. 522 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 2: It would be our number two in your program and 523 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 2: you could listen to it. 524 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: This weekend and then play it back and listen to 525 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: it again, and that is really the truth. The Palisades 526 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: burned to the ground because the state parks employees wouldn't 527 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: let the fire department finish the job of putting out 528 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: the original fire. All right, when we come back, we're 529 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: going to have more insanity here. We're going to have 530 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: two professors on Michael Michef from USC James Rector from 531 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: UC Berkeley, and la is proposing to ban oil and 532 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: gas production again. And they think that is a very 533 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: bad idea. They're going to explain why, and I'll give 534 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: you the latest gas prices around the country compared to 535 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: what we're paying here.
