1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four o'clock and

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 2: then after four o'clock. If you suddenly come out of

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: your coma, maybe you drank all night, you passed out,

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: you wake up at four o'clock, Oh, I missed the show.

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: What do I do?

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: You go to John Cobelt's show on demand on the

9
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: iHeart app. It's the same radio show, actually goes by

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: a little quicker because they cut all Dever's news.

11
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 3: Out, and that's the good stuff.

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: You got to set up your own old news podcast.

13
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: Right anyway, you could listen to the show after four

14
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: o'clock on the app in case you missed anything.

15
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: All right, We're going to talk now with Susan Crabtree.

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: She has co written a book about California politics.

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: It's called Fool's Gold.

18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: The Radicals, con artists and traders who killed the California

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: Dream and now threaten us all. She wrote this with

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: Jed McPhatter and zug up a lot of dirt on

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: the Democrats and specifically Gavin Newsom too. There are a

22
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: number of news stories that have come out because of

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: what this book revealed. And let's get Susan Crabtree on. Susan.

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 4: Yes, Ron, I'll to be on with you.

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: Oh, it's good to have you.

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 4: I'm so thrilled to be on with you. John. It's

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 4: been decades since I've been listening to you. And my

28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 4: entire family grew up in California, then went to DC

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 4: and decided to come back in about twenty seventeen. And

30
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 4: when I got here, I was startled by what had

31
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: happened to the state. And I know that you are

32
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 4: one of the true two patriots trying to fix things.

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: Well, for me to broadcast, I need other people to

34
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: do the work and bring us the information, and you

35
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: certainly have done that with this book. You and your

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: partner Jeded mcpatter talk about the overall thrust of the book.

37
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: If people haven't heard about this, what is the general

38
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: idea behind what you wrote.

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,279
Speaker 4: Well, we are focused on the leading characters in California

40
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: politics that are basically getting a lot of attention on

41
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 4: the national stage. Of course, Skavin Newson is the leading

42
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: man in the book. We have Kamala Harris, of course,

43
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 4: and Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff. Those are the main figures.

44
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 4: Of course, Willie Brown plays a huge role. But what

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 4: we're talking about in California is not just the failed policy,

46
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: because many there's been a lot of inks filled on those,

47
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: but the corruption. We're trying to reveal the corrupt policies

48
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 4: behind them. And we've uncovered a lot of things about

49
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: mister Newsom that you may have heard about, but we

50
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: get to the heart of them. From his college admission

51
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 4: that was basically the story around it. Is very deceptive

52
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 4: about his baseball the athletic prowess that got him into

53
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: college not exactly true. We break that down to the

54
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: launch of his wine business with Getty Oil money. But

55
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 4: he talks about climate change to its political rise based

56
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 4: on his connections with Willie Brown and his father's connections

57
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 4: to the Pelosis and the Browns and the Getties. All

58
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 4: were handed to him on a silver platter, and that's

59
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: why he thinks he can run for president via podcast

60
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 4: while leaving his state and shambles and not solving any

61
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 4: of its problems, in fact making them very, very worse.

62
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 4: So it's also one of the reasons why he has

63
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 4: no problem taking money. This is one of my big

64
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 4: things in the book from PG and E which caused

65
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 4: the deadliest fire in California history, to fund his campaigns,

66
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: his ballad and niches, his wife's gender justice films, which

67
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: she then sells to the whole entire country and makes

68
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 4: a profit from to public schools and across the country.

69
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 5: Then he starts.

70
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 4: Then he acts like he cares about Wilde victims. It's

71
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: all performative, and we can go in chapter and verse

72
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: two from his his bogus baseball college admission story to

73
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 4: his CCP ties to his letting out prisoners during COVID.

74
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 4: We have so many nuggets in this book.

75
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: Give us an overview.

76
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: Because I've talked about the pg ande connection frequently. They

77
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: donate a tremendous amount of money to him for his

78
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: campaigns and to Jennifer Newsom for these I'm sure irritated.

79
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: We played actually a couple of clips recently. These these these,

80
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: these these feminist movies that she creates about gender justice,

81
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: and in return, Newsom made sure that PG and E

82
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: was completely bailed out after that fire where they killed

83
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: eighty five people and burned an entire city paradise up

84
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: in northern California. Talk about the extent of their relationship here.

85
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 4: Yes, it's it's quite close. As you described all of

86
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 4: the utilities across California, it's unique to California. Usually people

87
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: associate the energy companies utilities mainly with more with Republicans,

88
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 4: but in this state they have bought and paid for

89
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: the Democrats. Newsom and his wife as of such close

90
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: relationships with PGNY and its top executives that they are

91
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 4: listed as associate producers and at least one of her films,

92
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 4: her gender justice films, and which one of them was

93
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 4: screened at pgn E headquarters in downtown San Francisco, because

94
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: they have given her and Gavin Nissam a total of

95
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 4: seven hundred thousand dollars, part of that being for her

96
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: gender justice films, and as you mentioned, he played a

97
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 4: key role. He actually used with taxpayer money, the lawyers

98
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 4: that PG and E had on retainer for years O

99
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 4: Melvinie and Myers to craft that's behind the scenes bailout

100
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 4: for PG and E that saved them from bankruptcy and

101
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: really limited the amount that the victims of the Paradise

102
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 4: wildfire that killed eighty five people. PG and E was

103
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 4: found guilty of manslaughter, it limited the amount of money

104
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 4: they could receive from that utility. And now we have

105
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 4: other utilities so cal Edison, all of the utilities have

106
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: given Democrats in the state two hundred million over the

107
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: course of two decades, they've given him two point five million.

108
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 4: And basically this in so cal Edison, as you know,

109
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 4: is now under investigation for causing the eat In fire.

110
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: And yet Gavin Newsom is pointing fingers and in trying

111
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 4: to investigate everybody but the lead cause of the utility

112
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: of these fires, and that is the utilities.

113
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, the utilities start the fires, they kill the people,

114
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 2: they burned down the towns, and then Newsome blames climate change,

115
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: ensues the oil and gas companies.

116
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 4: That's exactly right, and then he talks about climate chates

117
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 4: contributing to these wildfires. And then he you know, he's

118
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 4: claiming he's sewing the oil and gas companies and they're

119
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: heading out of town. More refineries are leaving the.

120
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 5: State because of those suits.

121
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 4: But yet he keeps blaming climate change the fires themselves

122
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 4: from twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen, just those fires, not

123
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 4: to mention the ones we just had, they erased all

124
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 4: of the crop carbon emissions progress that California's clean air

125
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 4: mandates have that they've said they've had success in his

126
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 4: a rate fellows according to UCLA studies and Stanford studies.

127
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: So if they really claimed it cared about climate chates,

128
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 4: they would hold these utilities feed to the fire and

129
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 4: start doing prescribe burns all of the lifting environmental regulations

130
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 4: that so many people have blamed the fires for, including

131
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: Donald Trump. But in California, we know, oh that the

132
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 4: Public Utility Commission in Sacramento does not hold these people's

133
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 4: feet to the fire. And Gavin news Some appoints those

134
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 4: commissioners and they are increasing the rates, the utility rates

135
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: on calebni and customers six times last year alone, and

136
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: they made two five billion dollars in profits. This is

137
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 4: not really a partisan issue. It's a money in politics issue.

138
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: All right, Can you hang on for another segment because

139
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: when we come back, I want to talk about some

140
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: of the other things you've discovered, such as Gavin Newso

141
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: funding his own Bronze bust, his ties to the Chinese

142
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: come and his party, and all the COVID prisoners are

143
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: all prisoners he let out during COVID, who went on

144
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: to create the Big crime wave that we suffered from

145
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: in recent years. That's all in the book. That's all

146
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: coming up next, and we're talking with Susan Crabtree. She

147
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 2: has co written a book called Fool's Gold, The radicals,

148
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: con artists and traders who killed the California Dream and

149
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: now threaten us all.

150
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: Susan will continue next.

158
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 2: of the leading figures in the book, as as as Susan,

159
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: as she said, came back from spending some time away

160
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: from California and was just horrified at what the state

161
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: has become. H let's let's put Susan back on here.

162
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: Talk about the Bronze Bus story. We've discussed this on

163
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: the air, and I find this classic narcissistic dishonest Newsom,

164
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: this this whole thing from beginning to end, and and

165
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: and you touched a nerve because I know he's putting

166
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: out furious denials to this particular story.

167
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 4: Well, yes, but he can't deny it because we looked

168
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 4: at based on documents their public but nobody bothered, No

169
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 4: other reporters bothered to look at those are documents for

170
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 4: the hestic payments. So everyone knows that Gavin Newsom's, you know,

171
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 4: the self promoting political shape shifter who has run California

172
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 4: into the ground. But the book Fool's Goal that we

173
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 4: wrote reveals for the first time that Newsom solicited the funds,

174
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 4: some of the funds for the Bronze bus, from himself,

175
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 4: and it's a monument to himself. Basically, what we found

176
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 4: was there are that he solicited from others to pay

177
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 4: for the bust And as you know, in California, that's

178
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 4: perfectly legal, not that it's necessarily ethical. I view it

179
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 4: as a pay to play system. So politicians can ask

180
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 4: certain outside companies with business before the state to give

181
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 4: to their fate pet charity. In this case, that pet

182
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 4: charity was asking his own companies. Two of his own

183
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 4: companies a pump Jack winery and a Babelo Cafe restaurant

184
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 4: he owns to pay partially pay for the bust that

185
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 4: a sculptor and the San Francisco Arts Commission was making

186
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 4: of him, and he just wanted to make sure they

187
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 4: got the hair right.

188
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: Are you serious?

189
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 4: I'm dead serious this is And he's saying that this

190
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 4: is not secret. Well, we didn't say it was secret.

191
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 4: We didn't say it was secret. We said that nobody

192
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 4: looked at this, nobody revealed this until we looked at

193
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 4: the documents. We couldn't believe it ourselves because we thought

194
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 4: maybe it's a bus for Willie Brown, because you know,

195
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 4: he was a mentor and benefactor.

196
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 5: But no, it was for his own.

197
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: Bust, for his own bust.

198
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: I mean, it seems he's more of a caricature than

199
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: his caricature, Like you could stereotype him as this vain,

200
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: greasy narcissist, and he is that, but he is that

201
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: exponentially more to the core. I mean, there is no

202
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, is there. There's just no he just his

203
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: whole life. Is he worshiping himself?

204
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 5: Yes?

205
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 4: And he even told the San Francisco at the time

206
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 4: that when they did a story that the bus was

207
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 4: coming out, not that he was helping pay for it,

208
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: but he said, oh, you know, he's kind of embarrassed

209
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 4: about it, and he didn't. It's a bit reluctant to

210
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 4: talk about himself, and it's a strange thing that I'm

211
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 4: just awkward about it. Meanwhile, he's paying for it to

212
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 4: his own company. It's not it's hardly full disclosure, to

213
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 4: say the least. But it's very similar to his baseball

214
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: story where he talks about how he got this great

215
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 4: partial baseball scholarship and that's what got him into Santa

216
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 4: Clara because he had a nine sixty SAT And actually

217
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 4: what we found out he was only on the JV team.

218
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: They were really only doing Scrimma James playing community call.

219
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: He had ninety sixty total on the SAT.

220
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 4: Yes, he talked about that with Charlie Kirk. He keeps

221
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 4: talking about that only because of the baseball scholarship was

222
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 4: he able to go to a four year college.

223
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: That's really low for a governor. Nine sixty. That doesn't

224
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: surprise me.

225
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 4: Yes, he talks about being dyslexic and that's the reason

226
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 4: for it. But what he doesn't disclose is that Jerry Brown,

227
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 4: the previous governor and who was tight with his father,

228
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,119
Speaker 4: gave him a letter of recommendation to Santa Clara University,

229
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 4: so he didn't bother to disclose it. In the same time,

230
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 4: he's talking that the baseball his athletic prowess that he

231
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 4: you know, he was getting, he was dragging himself up

232
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 4: from his cleat straps. And that's not the truth. He

233
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 4: had a letter of recommendation that Jerry Brown wrote for him.

234
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: And also I talked to his assistant coach at the time,

235
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 4: Mike Comings, who said a former powerful alarm tight with

236
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 4: his father, who played on the baseball team in the

237
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 4: nineteen sixties, also recommended him and pushed them to get.

238
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 5: Him on the team.

239
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: Okay, but the no All star baseball player, that's not

240
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: really why he got in.

241
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 4: No, he's even said that the the New York the

242
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 4: Texas Rangers had scouted him.

243
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen and that turned into.

244
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: An urban myth. Yeah, in San Francisco.

245
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: Do you think he believes in anything in particular or

246
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: he believes in whatever the fashion is of the moment,

247
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: Like if for some reason conservatism was a winning strategy

248
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 2: in California, would he be just as conservative as the

249
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: next guy.

250
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 4: I truly feel like he's very similar to Joe Biden

251
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 4: in that way. I covered Joe item for decades, and

252
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 4: he was whatever they wanted him to be, mister backslapping

253
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 4: friendly guy, but an empty vessel in terms of ideology. Yeah,

254
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 4: he plays to the crowd. Of course in San Francisco.

255
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 4: He was an early pioneer with a marrying gays, so

256
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 4: that played very well in the in the day community

257
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 4: in San Francisco. So then you know he tries to

258
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 4: be very progressive on LGBTQ issues, and now you know

259
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 4: he's trying to move back to the middle without even

260
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 4: changing his policies. As you know, while his own wife

261
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 4: is doing gender justice films and with LGBTQ plus themes,

262
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 4: the genderbred person is part of the curriculum that she

263
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 4: sells in these films. Two schools five thousand schools across

264
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 4: the country, and they make make a profit at least

265
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 4: one point four million dollars they've made on screening her

266
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 4: gender justice films in public schools across the country. But

267
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 4: he's not changing his policies. He says it's not fair

268
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 4: to have trans athletes in women's sports, but when you

269
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: ask his office, as I did, so you're going to

270
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 4: rule back the policies in California that allows that. And

271
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 4: they said they don't respond to that question.

272
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: They just point to his comments respond to the question,

273
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: all right, And we got a couple of minutes. Tell

274
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: me about him letting all those prisoners out during the

275
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: COVID lockdown and how that affected the crime rate in California.

276
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 4: That's the most egregious things that I've found. And this

277
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 4: is very serious. So a Whizzard lawyer came forward to us,

278
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 4: and a top official in the in the prison system,

279
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 4: then we name him. He told me that Gavin Newsom,

280
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 4: he tried to warn Gavin Newsom that what he was

281
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 4: telling in the public wasn't really true about releasing prisoners.

282
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 4: He thought there would be He was saying to California

283
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: citizens that he was releasing the prisoners because he thought

284
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 4: there would be a desk viral in the prison system.

285
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 5: But really the.

286
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 4: COVID rates and the infection death rates were higher in

287
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 4: the community. But they he the person in charge of

288
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 4: keeping track of those rates in the prison system told

289
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 4: Gavin Newson's office.

290
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 5: Hey, what you're saying isn't true, and you know, we

291
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 5: can't rationalize it that way, and they continue to do so,

292
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 5: and then of course crime skyrocketed across the state and.

293
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 4: And then you head smashing grabs and we can't even

294
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 4: go get our conditioner without having to ask for it

295
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 4: to get unlocked at the CBS. And this is this

296
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 4: is the direct result, according to this top prison official

297
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 4: who is now retired, and from these release, the releases

298
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 4: of these prisoners, some of them were very hard in

299
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 4: personal prisoners, violence prisoners, prisons.

300
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: It makes sense, that's what that's what criminals do. If

301
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 2: you give them freedom, they're going to start committing crimes.

302
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: And if you're in state prison, you're often in state

303
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: prison because you committed violent crimes. It's not because you

304
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 2: shoplifted at target. It's because you're a really bad guy.

305
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 2: In fact, I've heard somebody say to get in state prison,

306
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: you've got to be a really bad guy. And he

307
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: let a lot of them out, and so look what

308
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: happened next in California, and.

309
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: He got none, none of the blame for that. Huh.

310
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 2: It's amazing how little he's covered critically, It's just shocking.

311
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 4: That's the problem that we saw. This is the reason

312
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 4: for this book because he is skating in California, and

313
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 4: nobody has taken a look at his connections to the

314
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 4: CCC CCP in China, even though he's over there show

315
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 4: voting with our taxpayer money, taking photo photos on the

316
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 4: Great Wall of China with a photographer that costs the

317

Speaker 4: taxpayers one hundred thousand dollars a year, and taking pictures

318
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 4: shaking hands with prison g but nobody knows that he

319
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 4: was had started this nonprofit called China SS and brought

320
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 4: in a hundred, more than one hundred companies in from

321
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 4: China into California, and they were found guilty of Some

322
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 4: of these officials from these companies were found convicted of bribery.

323
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 4: The companies went bus they undercut They were dumping solar

324
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 4: panels onto our markets and cutting undercutting our companies, including

325
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 4: Cilindra that been was had to sue the Chinese company

326
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 4: Suntech All this was its occurring and nobody's held an

327
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 4: account and nobody really even knows that he trademarked his wines,

328
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 4: his Plump Chalk wines into China at the same time

329
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 4: and had a tasting that included CCP officials at a

330
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 4: very Sheishi restaurant in Shanghai. So what do you think

331
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 4: was the motivation there? Do you think it had anything

332
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 4: to do with getting his wines into China into top

Speaker 2: out of the ocean. It's up on a ship and

355

358
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 3: Well, they have it sealed pretty well.

359
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,320

362
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: delay and everybody's pulling out their bags and lined up

363
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: slowly to get out. Well, the two astronauts from June

364
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 2: must be. I would want a big, greasy cheeseburger waiting

365
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 2: for me. I'd want somebody to hand me that on

366
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 2: a plate.

367
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 6: I'd want some quene wah with some rice and some avocado.

368
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: Nine months in space and they come back to a

369
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: bowl of keen.

370
00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: Yes, oh my gosh.

371
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 2: All right, so if they come out, we'll let you know. Oh,

372
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 2: just one more thing. We just had Susan Crabtree on

373
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: and she's written this co written this great book called

374
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: Fool's Gold about California going to Hell and Gavin Newsom's role.

375
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 2: She mentioned that Gavin Newsom admitted on one of his

376
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 2: podcast episodes and I don't know how he can find this, Eric.

377
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 2: I don't want to make it go through hours of

378
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, but if we could get him actually saying

379
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: that his SAT score was nine to sixty, which is

380
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: below average. I looked up the national average for an

381
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 2: SAT score is ten to twenty eight. Nine sixty. Not

382
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 2: good for a governor, but that's not surprising. I mean

383
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: I always thought he was below average diligence and he's

384
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 2: just gotten away with his looks and he knows it.

385
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: That's why when he had that bust, the bust commissioned

386
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: in San Francisco, his main interest was that they get

387
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 2: the hair right. He knew that was his ticket, his hair,

388
00:22:59,160 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: not his intellect.

389
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: Nine.

390
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 2: If I got nine sixty, I would have I would

391
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: have taken the test over and over and over. Oh

392
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 2: my god, but he got it. He got into Uh,

393
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: he got into college because Jerry Brown and his family

394
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: wrote a letter and then he passed it off as

395
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 2: as as a baseball admission that he was so good

396
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: at baseball. What a phony. All right, onto the animal stories. Yes,

397
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: we'll start with the turtle smuggler. There's a man named

398
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 2: cy Kung Tin Chinese citizen Uh. They found packages at

399
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 2: a California mail facility. They were labeled as almonds and

400
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 2: chocolate cookies. Inside though, were dozens of turtles wrapped in socks.

401
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: They were wrapped up so that authorities wouldn't notice them moving,

402
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: that nobody would notice them moving. And this guy, cy

403
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 2: Kung Tin uh has has transported over two thousand turtles

404
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: over five years.

405
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: Illegal turtle trafficking. You know why he uh.

406
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: I was going to say why.

407
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 2: Because in China, middle class families buy them and raise

408
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: them as pets.

409
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 1: They're a status symbol.

410
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 2: According to Ryan Connors, an attorney with the Department of Justice,

411
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 2: some people prize wine, fancy cars, artwork, but with the

412
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: rise of the middle class, it is turtles. If you

413
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 2: have a pet turtle, that's a sign you made it

414
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 2: in China. Although in China they are all kinds of

415
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 2: they you know, the reason that the the ivory trade

416
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: is so popular in Africa, and they kill elephants and

417
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: rip the tusks out of the elephants. Is because all

418
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: these guys believe it'll give them an erection.

419
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, well you get an erection in some other way city.

420
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: Do you have any alternative ideas there?

421
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 6: I do, but I'm not going to say them on

422
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 6: the air. But leave the elephants alone.

423
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: No need for ivory dust.

424
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: He he smuggled turtles worth over four million dollars and

425
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 2: over a five year period, and they're supposed to be

426
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: family pets. But now he's going to prison.

427
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: Now.

428
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 2: Another story involving a turtle is the Peruvian fisherman that

429
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 2: I was telling you about ninety five days. He had

430
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: a ten day fishing trip. He left his town of Marcona, Peru,

431
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: December seventh, enough food to last him two weeks, but

432
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 2: ten days bad weather and his boat went off course,

433
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: drifted aimlessly, and for ninety five days he was drinking

434
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 2: rain water. And he tried, well here's what he e.

435
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: He ate roaches, god roaches, floating in the water, birds,

436
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: and the last thing I ate was turtles. I did

437
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: not want to die, so you'd have to grab the

438
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: turtle out of the water, and I guess rip.

439
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 6: Its shell off unless he ate it with the shell.

440
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,479
Speaker 6: Oh god, that'd be too tough, right, I don't know.

441
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 6: I have never had turtle.

442
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: Well he paid, I guess he had to bite right

443
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: into the turtle meat. There.

444
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 3: The turtle would suffer.

445
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: Can you imagine, Yeah, because the turtle would I don't

446
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 2: know if.

447
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 6: He No, we don't need to go into that. That's

448
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 6: really awful.

449
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 2: He was found heavily dehydrated and in critical condition. He

450
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 2: was down, it was down to it was just emaciated. Yeah,

451
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: which is why I'm telling you there's no need to

452
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 2: carry on about about all these dieting fads and crazes.

453
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 6: Okay, you want to be in critical condition and on

454
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 6: your deathbed.

455
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 3: Just just control the intake.

456
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: He went to fifteen days without eating. Fifteen days, Yeah,

457
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 2: that'll do it. Then he started eating the turtles and

458
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: the birds and the roaches. Yeah all right, But you

459
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 2: know what.

460
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: You can lose weight. You lost weight, Yeah, I know,

461
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 3: you can do it a much healthier way.

462
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 2: Whenever I hear people complain, I say, stop eating. Why

463
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 2: just stop eating? Stop complaining and bitching. It's like, you know,

464
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 2: all right, here's another one, another animal story. A woman

465
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: named sam Jones. I guess Samantha Jones. She there's a

466
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 2: video of this. She picked up a baby wombat and

467
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 2: stole it from its mother.

468
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 3: I saw that video. I was screaming, how do you

470
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: A wombat is like as a marsupial as a pouch.

471
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: She has one hundred thousand Instagram followers, idiots, and she

472
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 2: grabbed the baby wombat away from the mother.

473
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 3: It's trying going after them.

474
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: Who does that? She picked up the baby wombat and

475
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: ran away from the mother. Yes.

476
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: The cameraman laughs, and the mother ran away out of

477
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: fear and then comes back to retrieve her baby. And

478
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 2: the baby is dangling in Samantha Jones's hands. The cameraman

479
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 2: is still yucking it up. Look at the mother. It's

480
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 2: like chasing after us, you know. Jones goes, I got

481
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 2: the baby wombat. Okay, mom is right here and she

482
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 2: is pissed.

483
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 5: Oh.

484
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 3: John, one of the astronauts is merged.

485
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: Look at him. There he is. They have him in

486
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: a wo and then and then some kind of they're

487
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: giving him a ride.

488
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well he just gave the thumbs up. He's happy.

489
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in a wheelchair with his legs stretched out

490
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: looking forward. Now the woman's coming out. But I tell you,

491
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: when I saw a video of her, she always looked

492
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 2: really unhealthy. I mean no, just really emaciated and sunk

493
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: in eyes and nothing like she did when she boarded.

494
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 3: I mean she haven't seen her yet.

495
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: Looked like that Peruvian fisherman.

496
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 3: Oh no, she didn't.

497
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: The baby wombat was so distressed, and now she's getting

498
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: pilloried on social media. Suddenly her crowd has turned on her.

499
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 3: Good, good, you know what. Nobody should be following her.

500
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: And she said, I've done a great deal of reflection

501
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: on this, and I've realized I did not handle the

502
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: situation as best as I shouldn't.

503
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 6: You should have left the animal alone. You don't take

504
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 6: it away from its mother.

505
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: My only intent was to prevent these amazing animals from being.

506
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 6: Hit from what you know, I'm so sick of people

507
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 6: spinning things so ridiculous.

508
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 2: I have learned from this situation. I'm truly sorry for

509
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: the distress I've caused. It was never about social media

510
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 2: for getting like.

511
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 3: Come on, yes, it was. It was about getting light.

512
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: Of course.

513
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 3: And you know, I know, and I would never do that?

00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 3: Are you kidding?
