1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: Can'f I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Coblt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 3: Lou Penrose sitting in for John Cobelt this week. Good 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 3: to have you along with US Governor Gavin Newsom today 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 3: announced the next phase of his crime fighting efforts. He's 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 3: now deploying a new CHP crime Suppression team to work 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 3: directly with local law enforcement in Los Angeles, also San Diego, 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 3: the Ie Central Valley, Sacramento, and the San Francisco Bay Area. 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: So Newsom getting tough on crime. 10 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 3: Michael Monks from the KFI newsroom, He's been covering this, Michael, 11 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 3: what's going on here? A new revelation that there's a 12 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 3: crime problem in California. 13 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: Hey, good afternoon, Lou. 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 4: I think the governor would disagree with your characterization, and 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 4: he would also have anticipated this characterization. You could tell 16 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 4: he came prepared to counter any type of narratives that 17 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 4: may dispel or dispute what he is trying to present here. 18 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 4: What he's saying is this is not a new effort, 19 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 4: these crime suppression teams. He's saying that we started this 20 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 4: last year. We've already tried these in three regions. Bakersfield, 21 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 4: San Bernardino, Oakland. He says that these crime suppression teams, 22 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 4: which is made up of California Highway Patrol officers who 23 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 4: work with local law enforcement agents, they've made nine thousand arrests, 24 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 4: fifty eight hundred stolen vehicles have been recovered, they've confiscated 25 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 4: a whole bunch of illegal firearms. 26 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: And now what he's saying is our crime stats. 27 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 4: Are down lou because of these efforts, but there's always 28 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 4: more work to do, and that's why he identified these 29 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:37,919 Speaker 4: additional regions today. 30 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 3: And it's just a coincidence that it has coincided with 31 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 3: the President's decision to take over the Federal City under 32 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 3: his authority, not to the Federal City completely, but just 33 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 3: the police department. 34 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: And get tough on crime. That just is happening as 35 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: a coincidence. 36 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 4: Why it's happening in relation to the President's policies, you 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 4: might have to leave that up to thement governor to explain, 38 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 4: but I think you're probably wise to acknowledge that yourself, 39 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 4: because we can all see with our own eyes that 40 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 4: Governor Newsom has become quite obsessed with countering the messaging 41 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 4: that's coming from the White House. 42 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a rivalry that is only intensified. 43 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: Even by the hour. 44 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 4: You see a constant stream of social media posts from 45 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 4: this governor trying to counter or even aggressively troll what 46 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 4: the White House is saying. He came to this presentation 47 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 4: today with not just a message that he's already been 48 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 4: tough on crime and he's only getting tougher on it, 49 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 4: but to say, some of the folks like the President, 50 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 4: like Speaker Mike Johnson, who are heavily critical of California 51 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 4: and its crime situation. They're presiding over areas or are 52 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 4: popular in areas that have higher crime rates. 53 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: Let's hear what the governor had to say, but. 54 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 5: I should note just on that if he is to 55 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 5: invest in crime suppression, I hope the President of States 56 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 5: would look at the facts just considered Speaker Johnson's state 57 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 5: and district. Just look at the murder rate that's nearly 58 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 5: four times higher than California's. In Louisiana, the Speaker Johnson 59 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 5: four x higher. I'm just offering this again. You're not 60 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 5: seeing this on Fox News, so President may not be 61 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 5: familiar with these facts. So I want to present some 62 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 5: facts to the President United States and imagine this is 63 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 5: alarming to the President to learn these facts, particularly Speaker Johnson, 64 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 5: who's been such a strong partner an ally in these efforts. 65 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 5: So the carnage in Louisiana as well, defined. 66 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 4: The carnage in Louisiana, lou is what he highlighted today, 67 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 4: and I'll tell you this. The press release that came 68 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 4: out after the press conference goes even further. He lists 69 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 4: all of these states, most of them would be considered 70 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: red states because of the way they voted in the 71 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 4: last presidential election, in recent presidential election, and shows that 72 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 4: their murder rates are significantly higher than California's according to 73 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 4: data that he cites from the Centers for Disease Control 74 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 4: and Prevention. 75 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: You know, this is an interesting strategy that he has, 76 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,119 Speaker 3: and you're right, there is a there's a one upsmanship 77 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 3: almost hourly between President Trump and Governor Gavin Newsom on 78 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 3: these things. But Newsom's also doing it with other governors. 79 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 3: Whenever another governor touts, you know, their their their state, 80 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 3: whatever whatever it is that they're touting, the Newsom press 81 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 3: team wants to go in there and challenge it. It's 82 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 3: just do you know anybody that has left Louisiana because 83 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 3: it's just so crime ridden, and they move to East LA. Like, 84 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 3: is there anybody that has moved from New Orleans and 85 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 3: decided to move to San Francisco and leave their car unlocked? 86 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just frankly unbelievable. 87 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 3: People are well aware, not just here in California, not 88 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 3: just in our major cities like Los Angeles, that we 89 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 3: have a crime problem. I never heard from anybody saying 90 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 3: we're getting the hell out of New Orleans because I'll 91 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 3: tell you what, we need to move to Franklin, Tennessee, 92 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 3: because I'm getting my car broken into all the time. 93 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: Like, you just don't hear these stories. 94 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 3: And yet he's making it sound like, you know, it's 95 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 3: mogadishue down there in Louisiana. 96 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: No, but I just don't know that it sells. 97 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 4: And what you're hearing from the critics of Newsom in 98 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 4: California more generally is that it's mogadishue here. And so 99 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 4: it's really a battle of narratives and choosing which statistics 100 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 4: are important. In this instance, the governor is citing the 101 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 4: homicide rate in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, South Carolina, Missouri, Georgia, 102 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 4: sec country. Basically he's taking aim at today saying that 103 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,239 Speaker 4: their murder rate is one, two, three, and four times 104 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 4: higher than what it is in California. 105 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: But then, on the other hand, it. 106 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 4: Is statistically provable to say California is losing population. You 107 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 4: can look at polls that site people are leaving California 108 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 4: because of their concern about crime or taxation, which is 109 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 4: also statistically provable. That you can show that it is 110 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 4: more expensive to live, to do business, to breathe in 111 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 4: Los Angeles and in California more generally than it is 112 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 4: in some of these other places. So regardless of which 113 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 4: side you fall on, there are statistics that can back 114 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 4: up your claims. And that's why we are seeing a 115 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 4: focus on narrative and that the narrative battle has gotten 116 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 4: to a point of of course, childishness. The President is 117 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 4: well known for his trolling online. Governor Newsom is just 118 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 4: looking to meet him where he is and Lou that's 119 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 4: the state of our politics today, no. 120 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: Question about it. 121 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: And as transparent as it looks to me, the reality 122 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 3: is and political analysts have confirmed this. 123 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: It's working for Newsom. I mean, this is raising his star. 124 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 3: He now looks on par with respect to President Trumps 125 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 3: as a counter argument over public safety, a counter arguments 126 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 3: for crime. Now that it might fall flat for me 127 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: who live in southern California, but for the rest of 128 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 3: the nation, which I think Governor Newsom is talking to. 129 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 3: He's not talking to people in Los Angeles that got 130 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 3: their car broken into last night. He's talking to people 131 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 3: in Iowa who are saved and are wondering, is it 132 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 3: really you know, maybe he's right. I mean, maybe crime 133 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 3: is four times higher in Baltimore, Maryland, or Birmingham, Alabama 134 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 3: than it is in San Francisco. And that narrative fight 135 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 3: I think works for Newsom because it elevates him. 136 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 4: I think what's happening is anytime the political party, Democrats 137 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 4: or Republicans lose the White House, you have some disenchantment. 138 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 4: You have some disaffection from folks who are looking for 139 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 4: a new champion to move away from the person that 140 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 4: lost that election. They need somebody that can make them 141 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 4: feel good about themselves again. And so the old message 142 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 4: that we had heard a lot from the Democratic Party, 143 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 4: when they go low, we go high, that is clearly 144 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 4: out the window now. And Governor Newsom has picked up 145 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 4: the baton and said, when they go low, let's go 146 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 4: lower until we hit rock bottom. 147 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: So rather than having somebody. 148 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 4: Who lives in Louisiana, for example, look at California and say, 149 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 4: they're also Americans, what can we do together to fix 150 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 4: whatever situation we see that is so bad for folks there, 151 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,119 Speaker 4: And on the other hand, having Californians look at people 152 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 4: in Louisiana and say, this murder rate or other issues 153 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 4: are problems here. 154 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: What can we do as Americans to help one another? 155 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 4: It has become what I think you might have referenced 156 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 4: to either earlier today or yesterday, that there's this cold 157 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 4: civil war taking place and the rivalries extend now beyond 158 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 4: the president and governors to just everyday citizens that want 159 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 4: to do one upsmanship against each other. 160 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: States Michael Monks from the KFI newsroom, Thanks so much. 161 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 3: Appreciate you are giving us the update on the press 162 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 3: conference today.

That's what crime fighter 242 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 3: Gaven Newsom is all about. Now, this was an interesting 243 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 3: question the reporter today, and I think that reporter annoyed 244 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 3: him because they wrapped it all up. I always, as 245 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 3: somebody that worked for elected officials and helped coordinate press conferences, 246 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 3: there is a beginning, in a middle, and an end 247 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 3: to every press conference, and so you have to know 248 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 3: when enough's enough, and when really enough's enough, when all 249 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 3: the pertinent information has been. 250 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: Like distributed, either by virtue of. 251 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 3: The statements or by the Q and A, you don't 252 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 3: want to just go on and on and on about other things. 253 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 3: And then some reporters starts asking you about other stuff, 254 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 3: redistricting and auto Schwarzenegger, and it's like, all right. 255 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: That's enough, press conference over. 256 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 3: But I don't think the press conference was ready to 257 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 3: be wrapped up when the reporter asked this question, and 258 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 3: it clearly annoyed Governor Newsom, And it was a pretty 259 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 3: simple question. The reporter asked, well, you're deploying all of 260 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 3: these special crime suppression teams all over the state, and 261 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 3: it's a big state, and you're going everywhere. Do you 262 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 3: think crime is a problem in California? Or has crime 263 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 3: been solved in California? What's going on? 264 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 9: Do you believe that crime is a problem in California 265 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 9: or not? 266 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 3: Do you believe crime is a problem in California or not? 267 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 3: Because he talks about redoubling the efforts on the already 268 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 3: nine thousand arrests, So like, there's never not going to 269 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 3: be crime. 270 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: I get that, just like how this never not going 271 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: to be unemployment? 272 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 3: But we do use rules of thumb in macroeconomics. We 273 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 3: consider four percent unemployment to be full employment. Now, that 274 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 3: doesn't help you if you're out of a job, but 275 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 3: by and large, there is some working number that most 276 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 3: economists will use. Let's say, at any given time, somebody 277 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 3: is out of the workforce because they're having a child. 278 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 3: At any given time, somebody's out of the workforce because 279 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 3: they stop to go back to school. Uh, they are 280 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 3: taking some time off, they are on sabbatical, they got fired, 281 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 3: and they're still looking for a job. 282 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: Living on their savings. 283 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 3: At any given time, there's about four percent of Americans 284 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 3: that are in the workforce that are out of the 285 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 3: workforce that you know, that are that are that are 286 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 3: that want to be in the workforce, workforce participation any 287 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 3: given time, there's always gonna be a four percent of 288 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 3: of a churn. So therefore we consider they say four 289 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 3: percent unemployment as full employment. All right, you could argue 290 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 3: it should be three percent, it should be five percent, 291 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 3: it's got to be zero percent, but they'll never not 292 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 3: be somebody in between jobs at any given time. 293 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: But we're moving along a line here, so you have 294 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: to measure it. Same thing with crime. What's zero crime rate? 295 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 3: Nobody did anything wrong, including jaywalking at yesterday afternoon. 296 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: No, obviously there's got to. 297 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: Be a number of crimes committed that is so low 298 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 3: that crime is not a problem. That we have a 299 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 3: manageable crime rate. And that really is a fair question. 300 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 3: Number one, Governor, what do you consider. 301 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: That Number two be? 302 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 3: Like in Washington, DC, they haven't had a homicide in 303 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 3: seven straight days and it's the first time that's happened 304 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 3: in like forever. 305 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. 306 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 3: That sounds pretty good. Like zero homicides Now I get it. 307 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 3: DC is like seven hundred thousand people and we're like 308 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 3: thirty nine million people. But you know, you do one act, 309 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: which is bringing the National Guard, and the next thing, 310 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 3: you know, hamisad rate goes to zero. 311 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: That's a that's pretty good. 312 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 3: So it's a fair question, governor, what what do you 313 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 3: consider to be uh, we have a problem or not? 314 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 9: You believe that crime is a problem in health when 315 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 9: you're not well? 316 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 7: So, curious question. 317 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: What's going on there?

The American society that 371 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 3: Newsom is trying to build, if you look at the 372 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 3: model here in California, is very different than the American 373 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 3: society that Trump is trying to build. Trump is trying 374 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 3: to build a society where there is zero homicides for 375 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 3: seven straight days. Newsom is telling you and again doubled down. 376 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 3: He doubled down on it today that there are there's 377 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 3: no problem with crime in California. Uh and to prove 378 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 3: that on dispatching a CHP run crime suppression team and 379 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 3: dispatching them to San Diego, Los Angeles, the Ie, the 380 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 3: Central Valley, Sacramento, and the San Francisco Bay Area to 381 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 3: continue to have no crime to fight because crime is 382 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 3: not a problem. Hit that reporter's question again, that was 383 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 3: really good. He had a hard time. He couldn't answer 384 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 3: that question because it would that's a very think about it. 385 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 3: It's a very difficult question for him to answer. He's 386 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 3: been saying how good our crime numbers are and what 387 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 3: a third world hell hole Louisiana is when it comes 388 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 3: to murder. Everybody's getting murdered. There's so many people being 389 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 3: murdered in Louisiana. Why there's nobody left? I mean, if 390 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,959 Speaker 3: the murder rate of Louisiana is four times out of California, 391 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 3: there's not going to be any people there, which means 392 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 3: I'm booking my tickets for Marti grob because Bourbon Street 393 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 3: will be very, very open. Like it's frankly unbelievable that 394 00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 3: the murder rate in Louisiana is four times that of 395 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 3: of California. If you don't, you know, play with numbers. 396 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 3: Now we know how this works. In the major cities 397 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 3: that are often governed by democrats. 398 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: In red states, you have higher crimes. 399 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 3: Now you have higher crimes where cities are because that's 400 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 3: where stuff is. It's no good for a criminal to 401 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 3: go out in the middle of a cornfield. It is 402 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 3: good for a criminal if they're going to steal stuff 403 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 3: to go to Des Moines. 404 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: Same thing with Louisiana. 405 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 3: If you are an assailant or a carjacker, no fun 406 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 3: being out, you know, in the in the middle of 407 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 3: the swamps of Louisiana. 408 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: You got to go to New Orleans. 409 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 3: So a red state will have a blue city and 410 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 3: that's where all the crime takes place. Alabama pretty safe place. 411 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 3: You don't want to be doing any breaking and entering 412 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 3: in Alabama, I'll. 413 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 1: Tell you what. 414 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 3: But you go to Birmingham and the sun goes down, 415 00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 3: you're lucky to make it the next day. 416 00:22:59,800 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 1: A lot. 417 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 3: So that's what's happening. You have these red states with 418 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 3: blue cities with higher crime rates. 419 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: And the governor's trying to play with numbers. 420 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 3: So it's always fun when Trump reacts to Newsom when 421 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 3: he doesn't have to, always taking a swipe out of him. 422 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 11: You have an incompetent governor in California. 423 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a guy. 424 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 9: I know very well. 425 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 11: He's in competence. He's a nice guy, looks good. Hi everybody, 426 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 11: how you doing. He's got some strange hand action going. 427 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 11: I don't know what the hell's problem. It's weird, to 428 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 11: be honest, it's little something shaking going on there. But 429 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 11: you know, PAULI has to just call me and saying, 430 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 11: we have the Olympics coming up. 431 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 9: We want to make it really good and safe. 432 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: Now, you gotta admit that's funny. That is funny because. 433 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 3: Newsom does have these weird hand and arm gestures when 434 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 3: he's sitting in a chair and he's on a podcast. 435 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: Which he always is these days. 436 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 3: He's always on a post cast in a chair or 437 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 3: on a chair on a riser for some political forum 438 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 3: or appearing on somebody else's podcast, and he does this 439 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 3: weird thing where he puts his hands together, palm to palm, 440 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 3: like he's praying, but he's like digging with the with 441 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 3: the two hands together, like digging. 442 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: Left and digging right. 443 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 3: But he's got his elbows really close too, so almost 444 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 3: it's like from the tip of his fingers palm to palm, 445 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 3: all the way down to the elbows touching each other. 446 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 3: And like this, this double bone straight appendage is just 447 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 3: moving around. 448 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: You've seen it. If you haven't seen it, you're not 449 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: watching it. And that's the governor. Now. 450 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 3: I will say this, this strategy might work. This idea 451 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 3: that California is the safest place, way safer than Louisiana, 452 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 3: way safer than anywhere else, safest place in the world, 453 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 3: safer than the Texas, safer than Florida, better than everybody. 454 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: This strategy might work if you're. 455 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 3: Running for president, because I remind you he's not talking 456 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 3: to you and me. 457 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: We live here. 458 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 3: We have had our cars broken into, We've had to 459 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 3: deal with homeless people stepping over hypodermic needles, right. 460 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: We've had to deal with this. 461 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 3: Most Americans have never visited California, and most Americans and 462 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 3: most American voters will never visit California. The only California 463 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 3: most Americans ever see they see on TV. 464 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: They see in TV. 465 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 3: Shows and as you know, La looks great in sitcoms. 466 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 3: It looks great in dramas, it looks great on TV. 467 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 3: And when there are live shots of Los Angeles.

No question that he is reacting 502 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 3: to the surging poll numbers that President Trump is getting 503 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 3: on the issue of fighting crime, law and order. 504 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 12: Gavin Newsom pretends to be tough on crime, that is 505 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 12: Lieutenant governor. In twenty fourteen, he supported Prop forty seven, 506 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 12: and last year was very vocal about defeating Prop thirty six. 507 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 12: Now that the voters who are sick of crime here 508 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 12: in California and yet past Prop thirty six. He's refusing 509 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 12: to defend it. 510 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: He's a joker. I appreciate the call. 511 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 3: There is no question that we are seeing successes with 512 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 3: respect to public safety in other parts of the country 513 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 3: and want it here. For California, the governor is out 514 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 3: there arguing with other governors who are seeing decreases in 515 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 3: crime rates and saying, you guys are terrible at fighting crime. 516 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 3: Everybody's getting murdered in your state. We're much safer here 517 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 3: in California. What are you talking about? And we here 518 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 3: are shaking our heads saying, who is he talking to? 519 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: Why? Even if he's right. 520 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 3: Let's say the statistics are absolutely right. It's not just 521 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 3: blue cities and red states. It's everywhere. In every corner 522 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 3: of Alabama, in every corner of Louisiana, there's just people 523 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 3: murdering everybody. There's nothing going on but murder, homicide, all day, 524 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 3: every day, not just in Birmingham, not just New Orleans, 525 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 3: just NonStop, NonStop murder. And nobody's getting murdered here. 526 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: It's just not happening. Why doesn't it seem like it 527 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: Like when. 528 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,719 Speaker 3: Was the last time you got up walked out of 529 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 3: your house or your apartment walked to your car and said, boy, 530 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 3: I've never felt safer. 531 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: It's the same with these statistics about you. 532 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 3: Know, we're the fourth largest economy in the world, and 533 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 3: now I think we're the third. That I just read 534 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 3: today that we surpassed Japan. Eventually California will be the 535 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 3: largest economy in the world, like the best. 536 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: We're the best business place. 537 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 3: Everybody's got a job, everybody's got so much money, salaries, 538 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 3: wages is going up, Inflation is under control, unbelievable. All 539 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 3: the companies are moving here, everybody's hiring, everybody's. 540 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: Got so much money. My goodness, California is the number 541 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: one GDP. 542 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 3: Like, eventually it'll get that at the rate we're going, 543 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 3: And I think, why doesn't it feel like it, Like 544 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 3: I see these pictures of Japan, and I don't see 545 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 3: any spray. 546 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: Paint in Tokyo. I don't see homeless people lying around. 547 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 3: People seem to be busily going to work or busily 548 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 3: going home to their family. So we surpassed Japan as 549 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 3: the you know, I think from four to three. 550 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: But like, you know, it's still kind of a rough town. 551 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: But jeez, was that Gavin Newsom talking or RFK? I 552 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, a little gravelly voice going on there 553 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: with Gavin. 554 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 10: The governor does not care about crime, but he's forced 555 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 10: into this position to pretend he cares, because when we 556 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 10: all know he's closing prisons, letting prisoners out, avoiding you know, 557 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 10: propositions that will put criminals back in jail, he doesn't 558 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 10: act like that happens. 559 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: He acts like it's all good. 560 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 10: But when Trump just simply calls out the mistakes and 561 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 10: the blatant crime, he has to respond. He has no choice, 562 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 10: and then he does the bare minimum and acts like 563 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 10: he's a hero. 564 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 3: Well, I don't know that he's acting like a hero, 565 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 3: and I don't know that this is the bare minimum. 566 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 3: I don't know what the CHP Crime Suppression Team is 567 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 3: going to do if crime is under control in all 568 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 3: our major cities, Like it. 569 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: Can't be both ways. He said that he's doubling down 570 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: on the success that we've had. 571 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 7: A building on the success that is now included over 572 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 7: nine thousand arrests. 573 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: Nine thousand. That's great. 574 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 3: So it's safe then to leave my car in San 575 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 3: Francisco as I run in, you know, to do you 576 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 3: know anybody that's renting a car in San Francisco. That 577 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 3: hasn't everybody I know knows somebody that rented a car 578 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 3: in San Francisco and had their windows smashed within hours. 579 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 3: Friend of mine had to go up there for a meeting, 580 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 3: rented a car, like, just had to run in for 581 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 3: a second, came out, laptop was stolen. Winnow was smashed, 582 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 3: laptop was stolen, brief case with stolen and everything else 583 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 3: in the car. 584 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: Took the rental car to a. 585 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 3: Window place a line of people that also just rented cars. 586 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 3: Like that's the reality that you and I know. And 587 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 3: the governor's just basically trying to gas land. There's no 588 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 3: question about it. 589 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 2: Right now, he'll say whatever it takes every day, something 590 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 2: different to get elected president. 591 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: He becomes a president in. 592 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty eight, or any other Democrat, it'll be back 593 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 2: to Joe Biden two point zero. 594 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: No, I don't want that. 595 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 3: Speaking of running for president, he's also convinced. Now I 596 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 3: don't know if this is gas lighting. I don't know 597 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 3: if it is Trump arrangement syndrome. I don't know what's 598 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 3: going on. He's convinced that President Trump is running in 599 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight. Well, he said both yesterday at the 600 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 3: political conference, he said there won't be an election. 601 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: Now, who was the last part? 602 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 3: Was it Robert de Niro who said that if Trump 603 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 3: is president, there'll be no more elections. So now Newsom's 604 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 3: on the de Niro train that all the elections are 605 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 3: going to be over like, there's no more elections. 606 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: And I don't know is that presidential elections? What the 607 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: House elections? 608 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 3: The House are elected every two years, the president every 609 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 3: four years, and the Senate every six years. Then there's 610 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 3: you know, state and local elections, city council, board of supervisors, 611 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 3: school board which elections. No, no elections, And that Trump 612 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 3: is certainly going to run in twenty twenty eight because 613 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 3: President Trump sent him a Trump twenty twenty eight hat. 614 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: I don't think Donald Trump wants another election. 615 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 8: You think for a second you want I have two 616 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 8: dozen Trump twenty twenty eight hats. 617 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: His folks keep sending me. 618 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 3: Now that's interesting. Is the crowd laughing at the governor? 619 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 3: Is he laughing at the governor's feigned outrage or is 620 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 3: it actual outraged. I can't tell. The governor goes from 621 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 3: goofing around being chummy with Trump, you know, respecting Trump, 622 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 3: to not respecting him hating him. He's a dictator. He's 623 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 3: gonna end all the elections. So when Trump sends him 624 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 3: a hat or his team and I guess they send 625 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 3: him a hat a dozen times, it sounds like he's 626 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 3: really mad about it. 627 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 8: I have two dozen Trump twenty twenty eight hats. His 628 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 8: folks keep sending me. 629 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's bad comedy set up there. 630 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 3: I don't know if that was supposed to be a 631 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 3: laugh line because there's a long pause. 632 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: His folks keep. 633 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 9: Sending me, and you think he's gonna run again. 634 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 8: They don't give me. You know who spends two hundred 635 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 8: million dollars on a ballroom at their home and then 636 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 8: leaves the house. 637 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: All right, So that's the rationale. 638 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,280 Speaker 3: Because Trump has made some improvements to the Rose Garden 639 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 3: to put an outside co to be able to use 640 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 3: the space. That's proof that Trump's either running again or 641 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 3: never going. 642 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: To leave the White House. There you go. That's the 643 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,760 Speaker 1: latest from California Governor Avenue. 644 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 3: So all right, when we get back, we'll get into 645 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 3: this CDC director, another federal a person, an employee who 646 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,479 Speaker 3: got fired but still won't leave. 647 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 1: That's the swamp that's coming up next. 648 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 3: Lou Penrose in for John Coblt on KFI AM six 649 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 3: forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 650 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 2: Hey, you've been listening to the John Coblt Show podcast. 651 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 2: You can always hear the show live on KFI AM 652 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,240 Speaker 2: six forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday, 653 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 2: and of course, anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
