I've got to say, Eric, 62 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,839 Speaker 4: one day needs to take a video of just what 63 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 4: you do in there as you pound the dust in 64 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 4: the papers. 65 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy. 66 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: It's like some kind of spastic fit, right, it really is. 67 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: If you just if you just filmed the movements, yes, 68 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 3: without any sound, that would. 69 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 4: Would Eric, that would be a great TikTok video. 70 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: It would might be. 71 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: I'd probably start some kind of new dance grace. It 72 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 3: looks like somebody who's completely lost control of his of 73 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 3: his nervous system, which yeah, that happens frequently. All right, 74 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 3: I want to phone hone in here. We played a 75 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: bit of this last week. Gavin Newsom held a press 76 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: conference and this was a phony, baloney, staged nonsense. They suddenly, 77 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 3: even though we're bankrupt, they found ninety million dollars to 78 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 3: give to Planned Parenthood because apparently it's a priority to 79 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 3: fund divorces. Okay, I don't want to go down that road, 80 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 3: but that was the purpose of this press conference. And 81 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 3: they have a pink sign on the podium that says 82 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 3: stopping Trump's war on women. And this looked like he 83 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: did a favor to his wife, Jennifer Newsom, who, by 84 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 3: the way, I read this again the other day. Do 85 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 3: you know she has bilked the school systems in California 86 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 3: out of a million and a half dollars. 87 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: It's true. 88 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 3: She made a series of feminist films and she charged 89 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: the schools a million and a half dollars to show 90 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: them of our tax money went to Jennifer Newsom out 91 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 3: of these school's budgets. Do you believe this schools had 92 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 3: to pay a million and a half dollars. So she's 93 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: running a grift operation like her husband and everybody else 94 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: in Sacramento. So she's got this planned parenthood thing. She 95 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 3: shows up in this very expensive pink silk pantsuit. Estimated 96 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 3: price Deborwy's going to be three thousand dollars, okay, and 97 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 3: all the other women there wearing various shades of pink 98 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 3: or red or purpleish on that same family and Nwsom's 99 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 3: up there, and they expected the questions to be entirely 100 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 3: about playing parenthood, and they were not. And most of 101 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 3: the reporters there were female reporters. They represented, you know, 102 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 3: the the California news outlets, New York Times, Associated Press, 103 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 3: and they just happened to all be women. It looks 104 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 3: like women are running the world in Sacramento. All right, 105 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 3: there's not a whole lot of diversity. I don't too 106 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 3: many guys, So I'm because I got to take a 107 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 3: commercial break here. Let me play first. Jennifer Newsome, after 108 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 3: standing there and seething because so many of the questions 109 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 3: were not about played parenthood, but they were about all 110 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 3: the other disasters in her husband's administration. Listen to her 111 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 3: telling off the female reporters. 112 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,799 Speaker 1: We just find it incredulous that we have plain parenthood 113 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: here and women are fifty one percent of the population, 114 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: and the majority of the questions, all of these questions 115 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: have really been about other issues. What about So it's 116 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: just fascinating. You have this incredible women's caucus and all 117 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: these allies and you're not asking about it, and this 118 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: happens over and over and over and over again. You 119 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: wonder why we have such a horrific war on women 120 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: in this country, and that these guys are getting away 121 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: with it because you don't seem to care. So I 122 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: just offer that with love. 123 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: A little passive, aggressive and manipulat of there isn't it. 124 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 3: There is no war on women. Would you sit down 125 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 3: with that? That is complete nonsense, a war on women. 126 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 3: And she's lecturing female reporters what they're supposed to ask 127 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 3: because they weren't interested in her tired, cliched pet issue. 128 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 3: All right, Really, nobody wants to ask questions about abortion financing, 129 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 3: all right, Nobody wants to talk about that except you, apparently. 130 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 3: And I don't know what your interest is in, but 131 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 3: considering the million and a half you took for those 132 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 3: feminist films from the school districts, I really question anything 133 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 3: she's involved in. She also had the judgment to get 134 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 3: entangled with both Harvey Weinstein and Gavin Newsom, So I 135 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: don't think we're talking with somebody's wrap too tight here? 136 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: Would we come back? Ashley Zavawa, the KSERA Channel three 137 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 3: reporter up in Sacramento, who apparently is the only one 138 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: actually interested in California issue, get play a clip of 139 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 3: hurt asking Newsom about high speed rail and that half 140 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 3: billion dollar change order, and also in general, how Newsom 141 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 3: is trying to push a law through to keep financial 142 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 3: records secret from the public. While we play the clip, 143 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 3: I'm going to stop and start it and tell you 144 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: about the body language and the grimaces and the giggling 145 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: going on among the women and Jennifer Newsom. Jennifer Newsom 146 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 3: was seething because Ashley Zavala kept asking questions that were 147 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 3: quote off topic. And then Ashley Zavala put out her 148 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: own three minute video basically a reply to Jennifer Newsom, 149 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 3: explaining how journalists do their job. It's good stuff that 150 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 3: comes up next. 151 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 152 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 7: six forty Tomorrow's Today. 153 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 3: We're moving from three to six, three to six tomorrow 154 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 3: and then Conway on from six to ten.

All right, so right before the newsbreak, I 157 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 3: played Jennifer Newsom interrupting Gavin Newsom's news conference last week 158 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: to lecture the reporters because they weren't asking enough questions 159 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 3: about planned parenthood. It was this ridiculous news conference that 160 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 3: Newsomb had with five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten plus 161 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 3: women more than that dozen plus women standing behind him, 162 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 3: celebrating another ninety million dollars of tax money being flushed 163 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 3: down the drain for planned parenthood. And this is a 164 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 3: Jennifer Newsomb production, and so he came out to ask 165 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 3: answer questions, except none of the reporters, all women, by 166 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 3: the way, wanted to ask him anything about planned parenthood, 167 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 3: because who cares.

NEWSOM is trying to get the legislature 190 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 3: to pass a bill to keep all the high speed 191 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 3: financial records secret because it's been one embarrassment after the other, 192 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 3: and the latest is we're spending a half a billion 193 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 3: dollars on a change order five hundred and thirty seven 194 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 3: million dollars to a construction company because the state was 195 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 3: so slow to get its act together that the construction 196 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 3: company was allowed to charge a half billion dollar penalty. 197 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: And now we're out of half a billion dollars because 198 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 3: the state was so incompetent, it only had seventeen years, 199 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 3: was so incompetent at sinking up. It's it's it's timing 200 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 3: that the construction company was sitting there waiting and waiting 201 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 3: and waiting and waiting, and then this changed and that 202 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 3: changed in this day. Andy anyway totally left to five 203 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty seven million dollars, and that caused so 204 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 3: much blowback that Newsom said, Hey, why don't we keep 205 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 3: all this stuff secret? 206 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: How about the public doesn't get. 207 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 3: To know when we f up for years and years 208 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 3: and cost the taxpayers a half a billion dollars. 209 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: Remember that half. 210 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 3: Billion dollars is not buying a single a single train track, right, 211 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 3: not one foot. This is just change order cost overruns. 212 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 3: State not prepared. We gotta, we gotta, we gotta pay 213 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 3: off this, this penalty. Well, while Ashley Zavalla was asking 214 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: at all the women standing behind Newsom, they're all looking 215 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 3: at each other and some of them are grimacing, some 216 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 3: are kind of giggling derisively. Jennifer Newsom has her arms 217 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 3: folded tightly and she's starting to scowl, and she makes 218 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 3: a move she like steps forward as if she's going 219 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 3: to head to the podium. It stopped this press conference 220 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 3: because we're off topic, and then decides the better of 221 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 3: it and backs off. The whole time, the whole time 222 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 3: Ashley's talking, none of them are listening to her, none 223 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 3: of them are respectful to her. And this is another 224 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 3: woman who, by the way, is asking questions that really 225 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: matter to us taxpayers, but they just want to hear 226 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 3: I guess some phrase and applause for their planned parenthood devotion. 227 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 3: So they're all they're all looking at each other and 228 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 3: they're all grimacing bright let's continue. 229 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 2: I don't know enough about it. 230 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 9: I believe it's the trailer bill as it relates to 231 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 9: aligning respector gentlemen. 232 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 8: Tough cell just given that, I mean, there's already some 233 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 8: voter distrust with a public project that the legislator's overseeing 234 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 8: right now behind this building called the Capital Annex, and 235 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 8: just overall just government spending and the scrutiny around it. 236 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 8: Do you think that could be a tough sell to 237 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 8: people in California? 238 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 9: There's I don't know if there's a project just add 239 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 9: more in the project in question. I don't think there's 240 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 9: a project that had more audits and more reviews and 241 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 9: than this project. 242 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 2: All right, that she stopped. Stopped. 243 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 3: Now the women are now gazing away and they all 244 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 3: look really sour because actually zaval followed up with another question, 245 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 3: and Newsom is sitting there stumbling and mumbling because of 246 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 3: what Zavala is saying it's like, don't you think there's 247 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 3: a tough sell to voters that you want to cover 248 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 3: up and keep secret. Basically all the financial waste that 249 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 3: has occurred under your administration, that's what she's asking here. 250 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 3: His administration has blown tens of billions of dollars on 251 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 3: high speed rail, and now he wants to cover up 252 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 3: the records. And she mentions the Capital Annex building. That's 253 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 3: another billion dollar pot project in secret, that huge cost overrun. 254 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 3: It's a new Capitol building in Sacramento, huge cost overrun 255 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 3: construction project that's out of control. That's all done in 256 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 3: secret as well. So I just did a pause on 257 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 3: the screen. So now Jennifer Newsom, her face looks hard, 258 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 3: she's grasping her arms tightly. Here, Newsom looks confused. He 259 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 3: doesn't know what to do because if Alla's not giving up, 260 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 3: so he just starts muttering nonsense that it's the most 261 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 3: scrutinized project, it's the most it's the most corrupt project 262 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 3: we've had in California. 263 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: That's why it's the most scrutinized. So play some more here. 264 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 9: I don't necessarily agree with that your premise. I think 265 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 9: what you're referring to have believed, and I don't have 266 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 9: those hundreds and hundreds of bills that were navigatings. I 267 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 9: believe a trailer bill that was introduced to just they're 268 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 9: similar rights and responsibilities of the Inspector General. 269 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 3: That can stop. Stop stop. Now all the women are 270 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 3: looking down and they're clasping their hands, and one of 271 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 3: them starting to look at her phone. They don't care 272 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 3: about the half billion dollars that's been blown here, right 273 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 3: they wanted they all got dressed up in pink and 274 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 3: red here. 275 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 2: Okay, this was supposed to be a party. This wasn't 276 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 2: supposed to be. 277 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 3: Let's dig into Gavin Newsom's corrupt high speed rail scam. 278 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 3: And now Jennifer Newsom has thrust her hands in her 279 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 3: pockets forcefully, like she's trying really hard to control herself. 280 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 3: Play some more. 281 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 9: Uh that are consistent across other agencies that would include 282 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 9: the high speed rail. So I thought that was appropriate on. 283 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 2: The basis battling babbling that there will. 284 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 9: Be a dialogue about that, the legislature opportunity to make 285 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 9: amendments or there's consideration and reconsiderations. We'll review that over 286 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 9: the course of the process. But as it relates to 287 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 9: that high speed rail system. 288 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 3: Grim looking face that has been audited. Jennifer is down 289 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 3: swaying back and forth and by her knee is twitching. 290 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 3: Not just the last few smirk on her face like 291 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 3: when is this going to stop? 292 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 9: You to be moving forward laying track on the nation's 293 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 9: first high speed rail system, but. 294 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 8: On the Draggado's flat iron joint Bescher short change order being. 295 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 2: You can stop now. 296 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 3: Ashley ask a second question and Jennifer purses her lips 297 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 3: and glares at her hands thrust in her pockets. Now 298 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 3: she's making another move for the microphone, and eventually what 299 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: she does is lecture all the reporters about a minute later. 300 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 3: This was the one that broke broke Jennifer's patients and 301 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 3: what a sour group of women.

And Susan 337 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 3: Shelley from the Southern California News Group just posted that 338 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 3: they take a billion dollars from the Greenhouse Gas Fund 339 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 3: and use it towards the high speed rail boondoggle, So 340 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 3: all that a chunk of that extra gas money you're 341 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 3: paying goes to high speed rail. In turn, Gaven Newsom's 342 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 3: botched the construction so badly they had to pay a 343 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 3: half a billion dollar penalty to one of the construction 344 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 3: companies as a change order. So now Gavin Newsom wants 345 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 3: to cover up all the financial. 346 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 2: All the financial. 347 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 3: Incompetence of this boondoggle. He wants to pass legislation to 348 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 3: make all this information secret. Really see see how it's 349 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 3: all connected. He wants to keep it secret, So Ashley 350 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 3: Zavala asks him about this idea of keeping it secret 351 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 3: when things are going so badly for igh speed Rail. 352 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 3: Doesn't seem like that's something that's in our best interest here, 353 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 3: so she starts asking these questions. Jennifer Newsom gets upset 354 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 3: and interrupts the press conference Newsome's wife because it's supposed 355 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 3: to be about playing parenthood, but none of the reporters 356 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 3: care about playing parenthood. We want to know why, what's 357 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 3: with this half billion dollar cost overrun, what is with 358 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 3: this half billion dollar change order? What is with you 359 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 3: wanting to keep this information secret by law in the future, 360 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 3: And so Ashley Zavala put out a video explaining how 361 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,239 Speaker 3: journalists works. To Jennifer Newsom, it's fascinating, So play this 362 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 3: plut touch. 363 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 10: I've got a lot of feedback on the video that 364 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 10: I made about first partner Jennifer Cebel Newsom and what 365 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 10: happened at the press conference that Governor Newsom had about 366 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 10: planned parenthood. I wanted to make this video to explain 367 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 10: the dynamic and the relationship between Governor Newsom and the 368 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 10: Capital Press Corps journalists who cover him regularly, just to 369 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 10: help provide some context. I wanted to do it in 370 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 10: response to comments sort of along these lines, why is 371 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 10: asking questions about reproductive health care such a bad thing? 372 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 10: And others who commented, for example, that they think she's right. 373 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 6: I know. 374 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 10: One main point that I made was that asking off 375 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 10: topic questions at events is normal. Here's why. So this 376 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 10: dynamic with Governor Gavin Newsom and what I'm about to say, 377 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 10: it's not just applying to him, it's really the governor 378 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 10: of any large state, the mayor of any large city, 379 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 10: and the president. Someone like Governor Gavin Newsom is in 380 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 10: high demand. He is not doing one on one interviews 381 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 10: constantly with local media, especially which is what the Capital 382 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 10: Press Corps is made up of, and our ability to 383 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 10: catch up with him is infrequent. It's not on a 384 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 10: set schedule. So there are a few reasons why off 385 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 10: topic questions are normal at an event like the one 386 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 10: that he had on Planned parenthood. The first being journalists 387 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 10: can work on multiple stories at once. Just because off 388 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 10: topic questions are being asked doesn't mean that the event 389 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 10: or the center of the press conference itself isn't getting covered. 390 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 10: That was the case for me. For example, I was 391 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 10: going in there to work on a story about the 392 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 10: high speed rail, but I absolutely planned on covering the 393 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 10: news of the day, which was the signing of this 394 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 10: ninety million dollars. That's the use of taxpayer dollars that 395 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 10: you should know about. Another reason is timing. We are journalists. 396 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 10: We are covering news and what is happening and what 397 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,719 Speaker 10: is current, and so we had to ask the governor 398 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 10: about what is happening and what is current. So in 399 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 10: the case of the high speed rail, for example, I 400 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 10: asked him about some news that I had reported earlier 401 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 10: in the week about how the project settled some expensive 402 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 10: litigation that resulted in the project's most expensive change order. 403 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 10: I was also asking about a new proposal that would 404 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 10: allow the High Speed Rails Inspector General to keep some 405 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 10: record secret. Casey Wasserman facing calls to step down from 406 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 10: LA twenty eight, the closure of the Valero refinery in Benetia. 407 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 10: These are all current events that our jobs require us 408 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 10: to ask, and Governor Gavin Newsom has demonstrated that he 409 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 10: understands that he oftentimes holds these events where he expects 410 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 10: off topic questions. Another bit of feedback that I saw, 411 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 10: not just on this video, I see it often, is 412 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 10: why am I going so hard at Democrats when Republicans 413 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 10: do similar things Republicans on the national level. My job 414 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 10: and the job of my colleagues in the Capitol Press 415 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 10: cort we are here to hold the powerful to account 416 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 10: in California, the leaders of this state's government. Those leaders 417 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 10: just so happened to be all Democrats. California's legislature needs 418 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 10: not a single Republican to pass anything. We are not 419 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 10: in Washington, d C. We are based in Sacramento, California. 420 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 10: A lot of my colleagues and I went into Wednesday's 421 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 10: press conference expecting to cover the news of the day. 422 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 10: The exchanges were normal. Now what was abnormal with someone 423 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 10: in that kind of setting, especially here in California, telling 424 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 10: journalists how to do their jobs? And then that for 425 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 10: almost all of us became the story. 426 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 3: And she's talking about Jennifer Newsom, who's got her head 427 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 3: completely upper rear end. If she doesn't understand any of that, 428 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 3: how long has that woman been around and she doesn't 429 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 3: know that the journalists there, who were mostly women, had 430 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 3: to cover all the news of the day, and they 431 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 3: don't get to see Newsom very often. And there's a 432 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 3: lot of important things that I think matter to us, 433 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 3: you and me and your families. Among them the billions 434 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 3: of dollars that Newsom has wasted a high speed rail 435 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 3: and this change order was one of the biggest one 436 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 3: day wastes in history. They got to write a check 437 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 3: for a half a billion dollars on a freaking change 438 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 3: order because the state was unprepared and late in getting 439 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 3: their end of the deal together so that the company 440 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 3: can do its work. The company couldn't do its work 441 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 3: for a long period of time, hence hence this change order, 442 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 3: hence a half billion dollars. 443 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 2: That's what I want to know about. 444 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, what did she say one of the questions 445 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 3: about the Valero refinery closing in Benetia. Yeah, that alone 446 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 3: checked up the price of gas forty cents. You're paying 447 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 3: four fifty nine a gallon, well over five dollars a 448 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 3: gallon in much of northern California. Why Gavin Newsom's tax policies, 449 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom's regulation policies, climate policies, stupid climate policies. Climate 450 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 3: policies are why the Benetia refinery is closing. 451 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 2: It's why Valero. 452 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 3: Is taking a one point one billion dollar ride off 453 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 3: a one point one billion dollar loss to close the refinery. 454 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 3: Between that and the refinery closed that closed in Wilmington, 455 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 3: that's twenty percent of the gas production in the state. 456 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 3: So yes, they should be asking about that, because some 457 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 3: of that money from these climate taxes ended up going 458 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 3: to high speed rail. In turn, the high speed rail 459 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 3: money is wasted. The state botched it up so badly 460 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 3: that they had to pay a half billion dollar penalty 461 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 3: to a construction company. That's what Ashley is a violent 462 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 3: and the rest of the reporters should be asking about, 463 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 3: not Jennifer Newsom's pet project on planing parenthood, which, by 464 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 3: the way, ninety million dollars going to that is nonsense 465 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 3: as well. Why are we spending tax money on that? 466 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 3: I mean, let them live off private donations. If if 467 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 3: abortion is that important, why arey we financing that? 468 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 2: This is crazy? 469 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 3: And then she steps forward in her three thousand dollars 470 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 3: pink silk pantsuit and lectures the other professional women who 471 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 3: are trying to do their reporting job. And we still 472 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 3: don't know why we have a half billion dollar change order. 473 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 3: We don't have any more refineries that are going to 474 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 3: open up. As we told you last hour. Now the 475 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 3: major oil pipeline in the state is shutting down because 476 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 3: of a lack of oil going through it. So all 477 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 3: the predictions we told you about five, six, seven, eight 478 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 3: dollars gas that's all gonna happen. We are now importing 479 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,959 Speaker 3: gasoline from tankers from a refinery in the Bahamas. They 480 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 3: gotta go all the way down to the down underneath 481 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 3: Central America and then go up up the coast to California, 482 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 3: spewing God knows what kind of pollution into the air 483 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 3: with oil that's been pumped in a rock or Saudi Arabia. 484 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 3: These are the worst, most damaging, craziest policies in the world. 485 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 3: And Jennifer Newsom's running around complaining that there's not enough 486 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 3: attention paid to plan Parenthood. Really, lady, really, why don't 487 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 3: you sell your pants suit and donate the money to 488 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 3: Planned Parenthood?
