1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:00,880 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 2: I am six forty. 3 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 3: You're listening to the John Cobalt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 3: Let's go to Royal Oaks, ABC News the legal analyst. 5 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 3: We just have a few minutes available with him and 6 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 3: the FBI director James Comy got indicted yesterday the charge 7 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 3: making a false statement obstruction related to testimony before the 8 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 3: Senate Judiciary Committee five years ago. Royal Are you there? 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 4: I am here. Yeah. This seems like ancient history to people, 10 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 4: but folks will remember there were all these arguments that 11 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 4: Donald Trump colluded with Russia in the twenty sixteen Hillary 12 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 4: election and SMBI director James Comy was involved in that event. 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 4: A few years later, he's up in front of the 14 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 4: US Senate and Ted Cruz is questioning him, and Cruz says, Hey, 15 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 4: when you were running that whole deal, did you authorize 16 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 4: one of your FBI guys to anonymously speak to the 17 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 4: press to kind of bad mouth Trump? And Comy said, no, 18 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 4: I didn't do that. Well, the DJ Department of Justice 19 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 4: thinks they have the goods and they convinced the grand 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 4: jury to indict call me for lying to Congress. He 21 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 4: could go to prison for several years if he's convicted. 22 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 3: Just for that, Huh, just for denying he told somebody 23 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 3: to leak to the Wall Street Journal. 24 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, because it involves perjury when you're you take an oath, 25 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 4: you're in front of the US Senate, and it's just 26 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 4: like lying in a regular courtroom. If you lie, it 27 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 4: isn't just a fibb. It's perjury. And he could get 28 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 4: five years just to that. Plus they've added an obstruction 29 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 4: charge as well to him. 30 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 3: So this has this has nothing to do with all 31 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: his actions that that that led to this Russian hoax 32 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 3: story that went on for so many years. And this 33 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 3: is specifically a lie that he allegedly told in testimony, 34 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 3: But all the other actions he may have committed are 35 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 3: not on the table. 36 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,919 Speaker 4: Here, That's right. I mean, the whole thing about Russia 37 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 4: collusion and whether it was a big scam and whether 38 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 4: people would just out to get Donald Trump, that substantive 39 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 4: issue really isn't at stake here. And of course there's 40 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 4: also at a controversy. As you've reported. John emy Till, 41 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 4: the US attorney there in Virginia, quit recently because apparently 42 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 4: he didn't think that the DOJ had the goods against 43 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 4: Combe and now President Trump's personal lawyer is taking his job, 44 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 4: and so people are saying that Trump is weaponizing the 45 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 4: legal system. But the fact of the matter is the 46 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 4: grand jury did vote to indict him, and if it's 47 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,119 Speaker 4: an overcharge, if they don't have the goods, the judge 48 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 4: is free to dismiss or whittle down the charges. But 49 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 4: ultimately it may be up to a jury in Virginia 50 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 4: as to whether Comy goes to prison or not. 51 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 3: There's a lot of squealing, even from Republicans, that they're 52 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 3: not going to be able to prove this when it 53 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 3: finally goes to court, and maybe proving it is beside 54 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: the point. Maybe Trump just wants to make Comy squirm 55 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 3: for a few months or years. 56 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard to know how much they do have because, 57 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 4: for example, John, we don't even know who it is 58 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 4: that call me allegedly whispered to saying, you know, anonymously, 59 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 4: speak to the Wall Street Journal of the New York 60 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 4: Times or something. We don't know what Comy wanted this 61 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 4: person to say. Now that will probably be revealed soon 62 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 4: when the government kind of tips its hand. Some people 63 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 4: are speculating who was Andrew McCabe. He was an anti 64 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 4: Trump guy there in the Department of Justice, but we 65 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 4: don't really know, but yeah, it certainly feeds into the 66 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 4: idea that, you know, Trump is going after his political enemies, 67 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 4: and of course people are looking back and saying, well, 68 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 4: you know Trump was a well, separate indictments against him 69 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three. Boom boom, boom boom, one up 70 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:36,839 Speaker 4: to the other. 71 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, it is probably retaliation and revenge. 72 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: And what are you going to do? 73 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, you hammered him with all those indictments, and all 74 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 3: the criminal ones fell apart, and look what's going to 75 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: happen here? 76 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 4: So, John, I heard you talk about the of the 77 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 4: bus sting in Albuquerque and it reminded me. You probably 78 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 4: remember the story here in La seven years ago. Go 79 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 4: the cops set up an empty bus with an open 80 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 4: door on a street. They had a camera on it. 81 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 4: They staged a rear ending crash and the car drives off. 82 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 4: A dozen people who were on the street milling around 83 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 4: get on the death bus and sit there holding their necks, 84 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 4: claiming to the cops that they were on when the 85 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,799 Speaker 4: crash that happened. They were all arrested for insurance. 86 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: For a US that's a great story to prevail, all right, 87 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: I know you. 88 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 3: Got to run Royal Thanks for having a few minutes 89 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 3: with us to explain that Royal Oaks with ABC News, 90 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 3: the legal analyst on the Coomy indictment.

We're also going 92 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 3: to have Alex Michaelson on now from CNN. He left 93 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 3: Fox eleven a few weeks back, and he's got a 94 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 3: new uh actually late well, it's going to be nine 95 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 3: o'clock in the evening here on the West Coast, but 96 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 3: it's going to be midnight on the East Coast, and 97 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 3: it's going to be a West Coast based news and 98 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 3: interview show and Alex is going to host it. 99 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: And uh, his. 100 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 3: First warm up act was to interview Governor Schwarzeneger, and 101 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 3: he met Schwarzeneger in New York City at a conference 102 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 3: and Schwarzenegger came out very strongly against Prop fifty. And 103 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 3: I'm going to play the clips now so i'll have 104 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 3: more time to talk to Alex when he comes on 105 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 3: at three thirty. Prop fifty is what we're going to 106 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 3: vote on real soon. I mean, in what six weeks 107 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: or less, and it would give the redistricting powers basically 108 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 3: to Governor Newsom. It's redrawing the district lines that he 109 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: and the legislature have agreed on, and it's going to 110 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 3: turn California into a state with forty eight Democrats and 111 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 3: four Republicans representing in Congress forty eight to four, even 112 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 3: though forty percent of the public votes for Republicans. It's 113 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 3: it's an retaliation and for what Texas has done. And 114 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 3: Schwarzenegger here makes a powerful argument why this is just 115 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 3: flat wrong, Like. 116 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 5: What's your view in terms of what should happen nationwide 117 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 5: when it comes to redistricting. 118 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 6: Well vers of all in California, it's a big mistake 119 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 6: to go and to uh dismantle and to basically kind 120 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 6: of get rid of the Independent Registrict Green Commission under 121 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 6: the auspices of we got to have more power than 122 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 6: the Republicans and we got to fight Trump because yes, 123 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 6: they are fixing the elections in Texas, but that does 124 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 6: not mean that California should fix the elections because of that. 125 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 6: Two wrongs don't make it right. It's that simple. And 126 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 6: whenever the politicians say that we're only doing this temporarily 127 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 6: with the redistrict Green Commission, within independent one. There's no 128 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 6: such thing withers and temporarily. Have you ever seen the 129 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 6: tax that stopped. When they say this is just temporary, 130 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,239 Speaker 6: it is permanent. I'm for the power of the people, 131 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 6: not the parties. And therefore I say wode no on 132 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 6: proposition fifty because when I talk. 133 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 5: To Governor Newsom about this and about your conversation with 134 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 5: him about this, he told me that he said to you, 135 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 5: if we are not successful this, that there will be 136 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 5: no more independent redistricting. The whole thing's over. He has 137 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 5: no faith in President Trump in order to do fair elections. 138 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 7: If Republicans have all control. 139 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 5: And he says that it is temporary, you just you 140 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 5: don't buy what Governor Knewso'm saying. 141 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 2: Of course no. 142 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 6: Look I've said down Sacramento, I've listened to the politicians 143 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 6: for seven years. They are not interested in giving any 144 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 6: power to the people. The only interest that they have 145 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 6: is to take power away from the people and grab 146 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 6: it themselves. So this gives them a great opportunity by saying, oh, 147 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 6: we have to fight Trump, let's go and get rid 148 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 6: of our democratic principles. Imagine to fight for democracy and 149 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 6: to get rid of your democratic principles. It doesn't make 150 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 6: any sense. And plus, we have so many homeless people 151 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 6: in California and there they cannot do anything about it, 152 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 6: but they're spending two hundred million dollars on a special election. 153 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 6: I would rather give this money to the homeless people 154 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 6: that really need it rather than do the politicians. Let's 155 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 6: give the money to the people rather than the politicians. 156 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 6: This is what this is all about. That's why I'm 157 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 6: against Proposition fifty. 158 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: And he had one more thing to say at the 159 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 2: end of the interview. 160 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 6: Before you go and vote, you should know this is 161 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 6: a scam and vote no on Proposition fifty. 162 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 3: It is a scam.

There's all these world leaders 339 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 7: have come to New York this week, and he did 340 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 7: an event with Tony Blair talking about climate issues. But 341 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 7: while there I also talked to him about Prop fifty. 342 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 7: And it's really interesting that at this point, essentially Governor 343 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 7: Newsom has become the face of the ads in favor 344 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 7: of Prop fifty, this idea that Democrats need to redistrict 345 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 7: California to help Democrats, because Republicans of redistrict Texas to 346 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 7: help Republicans. And Governor Schwarzenegger, the former governor, has become 347 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 7: the face of the opposition. He didn't actually record ads 348 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 7: for it. He did this event at USC recently and 349 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 7: the No On fifty people recorded it like a member 350 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 7: of the media, uh and took the USC logo off 351 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 7: of it, put their logo on it and are running 352 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 7: that as adds a million dollars a day. That Charles 353 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 7: Munger Junior, who is the son of one of Warren 354 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 7: Buffett's former top advisors, is spending on this, and so 355 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 7: it's really the battle of the two governors, the two 356 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 7: most famous political figures in California. 357 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 3: Well, it was during Schwarzeneger's term that they passed a 358 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 3: proposition creating this redistricting commission that is supposed to draw 359 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 3: the lines more independently. So this this was part of 360 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 3: because Schwartzenker was big on these kind of reforms and 361 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 3: and and uh so he's got a lot of a 362 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 3: lot invested in this thing surviving. 363 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, he sees everything. He's always said, I'm not about 364 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 7: the party, about the people. And we know that there 365 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 7: are things that he's in favor of Republican way, there's 366 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 7: things that he's in favor of the Democratic way. This 367 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 7: has been one of the causes of his career, this 368 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 7: idea of jerrymandering, that the way to make the system 369 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 7: make more sense is to have competitive elections where people 370 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 7: are incentivized to go to the middle, not incentivized to 371 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 7: go to the extremes of both parties. And so he 372 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 7: has been in favor of this California system. He's traveled 373 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 7: the country and the world really trying to have it 374 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 7: replicated in other places. This idea that instead of having 375 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 7: party primaries, which encourages you to go to the extremes 376 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 7: of your parties, we have everybody on the ballot. We 377 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 7: have open primaries, which is another thing that he's in 378 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 7: favor of that we have lines that are drawn by 379 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 7: nonpartisan folks to try to have competitive elections. And it's worked. 380 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 7: I mean, you think about it, California has most of 381 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 7: the competitive elections in the entire country in places like 382 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 7: Orange County that we've seen, it's parts of La County, 383 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 7: other places, because the lines are drawn in a way 384 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 7: for the races to be close. Now, if this passes, 385 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 7: essentially everything's going to be a safe seat. There really 386 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 7: won't be competitive elections, and it's all going to be 387 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 7: likely about who wins the primary. 388 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're going to end up with forty eight 389 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 3: to four Democrats over Republicans in the congressional delegation. And 390 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 3: over forty percent of Californians vote for Republicans for Congress, 391 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 3: and you're going to end up with four people maybe 392 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 3: you know, six percent, eight percent of the of the delegation. 393 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 3: And that just seems fundamentally unfair. I know that's one 394 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 3: that really bothered Schwarzenegger because Newsom is saying we got 395 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 3: to go fight Trump, and Schwartzinger is saying, it's like, well, 396 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 3: this is supposed to be about who's representing the people. 397 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,479 Speaker 7: Right. And of course, the Newsom argument is, when I 398 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 7: interviewed him about it, is look, I like the idea 399 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 7: of independent redissecting. I backed it at the time when 400 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 7: it happened, but we've got it. In their words, fight 401 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 7: fire with fire. They feel like, look, the Republicans have 402 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 7: gained it, So why should we play by different rules 403 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 7: than them? Why should Republicans be allowed to gerrymander their states? 404 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 7: Because Texas has a map that's really unfair to Democrats there. 405 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 7: There are a lot of areas where they're not being 406 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 7: represented where they traditionally have been. So why is it 407 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 7: fair that they do it and that we're so focused 408 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,439 Speaker 7: on morality and integrity and doing things the right way 409 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,479 Speaker 7: that we end up not being not being represented. I mean, 410 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 7: that's his perspective, arguing that that's well, you know, that's 411 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 7: a democratic perspective. 412 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 3: What I'd argue with him about is like, that's up 413 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 3: to the Texas voters. To fix something that's unfair, you know, 414 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 3: an unfair act being done to them. That doesn't mean 415 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 3: that California voters should be punished that forty percent of 416 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 3: California voters now suddenly can't get representation in Congress. 417 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 7: Right, And there's also an argument that strategically nationwide, it's 418 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 7: actually a really stupid thing for Democrats to do. This 419 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 7: is clearly something that helps Gavin Newsom himself if it 420 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 7: passes for his presidential campaign, because it gets a win 421 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 7: on the board, it makes him look strong, he gets 422 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 7: to fight Trump. The base loves it. It's good for 423 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 7: Gavin Newsom. It might not actually be good for the 424 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 7: Democratic Party. Here's why Republicans have more states that they're 425 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 7: in control of than Democrats. So if we get into 426 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 7: a gerry mandering fight that every state starts doing this, 427 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 7: Republicans will win the House because they have more ability 428 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 7: to do this in more places. So it may be 429 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 7: a short term political win for the California governor, but 430 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 7: a long term political loser for the Democratic Party. 431 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 3: How long can he fight these national battles with Trump? 432 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 3: While I saw yesterday we're number one now in unemployment 433 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 3: in the country. We got the most homeless, we got 434 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 3: the most poverty, we got the highest gas prices, we 435 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 3: got the highest electricity prices. How long can he continue 436 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 3: to make himself a name? Meantime is like the state's 437 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 3: going to hell and he's in New York and he's 438 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 3: today it was a story about he made a climate 439 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 3: agreement with the president of Uganda or no Kenya, of 440 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 3: all places. 441 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 2: I mean, well, well, this has got to catch up 442 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 2: with him at some point. 443 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 7: But the longer that he does what you're saying, and 444 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 7: the longer that he's able to pick these fights effectively, 445 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 7: the longer he doesn't have to talk about what you 446 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 7: just said, He doesn't have to talk about homelessness and 447 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 7: crime and all the rest of it, because he gets 448 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 7: to focus on Trump. I mean, he's trying to frame 449 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 7: this thing as are you a Democrat? Do you want 450 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 7: to give Trump the middle finger? If so, vote yes 451 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 7: on Prop fifty. And he's made the calculation that there 452 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 7: are enough Democrats that feel that way, and if you 453 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 7: look at just the flat out numbers, he may be 454 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 7: right and he may win this thing. But you do 455 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,959 Speaker 7: not hear him spending a lot of time talking about 456 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 7: California issues. And we'll see if voters in South Carolina 457 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 7: and New Hampshire and some of these other states that 458 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,719 Speaker 7: will be early primary states, do they care about some 459 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 7: of these California issues that you're talking about. Would his 460 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 7: potential primary opponents be able to run the very easy 461 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 7: to understand ads of shots of skid Row and saying 462 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 7: do we want the California model to be the nationwide model? 463 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 7: Or will his fight against Trump be so effective for 464 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 7: him and get him so much attention and help his 465 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 7: pull number and his fundraising as it is right now 466 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 7: that people just want to see a fighter and so 467 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 7: they vote for him. 468 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 3: Anyways, all right, Alex, thank you for coming on.
