1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,479 Speaker 1: Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on from one 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: until four, and then after four o'clock you could hear 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: the John Cobelt Show on the iHeart app as a 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: podcast on cobelt Show on demand. Debora Marks here, Eric 6 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: Sclier's here. Welcome everybody. And first thing we're gonna get 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: to this is gonna be one of the dominant stories, 8 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: maybe the dominant story locally in the first three months 9 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: of a twenty twenty four for our show, and that 10 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: is going to be the permanent removal of George Gascon 11 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: as district attorney. He's like a cancer that has to 12 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: be cut out. You know, district attorneys. I don't think 13 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: they ever had term limits because district attorneys used to 14 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: serve multiple terms. I could think of a few that 15 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: served at least three. So there's no way we're going 16 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: to end up with the George going for maybe another 17 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: decade or more. That just can't happen. Drastic measures have 18 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: to be taken, and we can have him evicted from 19 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: office as early as the first Tuesday in March when 20 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: there's a primary. Now the it's a top two system. 21 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: As you know, this was a schort Schorgan Schwarzenegger's stupid 22 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: idea a few years ago. Regardless of party, the top 23 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: two vote getters in a primary go on to a 24 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: runoff in November. Unless somebody wins fifty percent plus one vote, 25 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: the barest of majorities will get you in without a 26 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: November runoff, which means you're automatically renewed for another term. 27 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: And fortunately there's zero chance of that happening because Gascon's 28 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: approval rating is now fifteen percent one five percent, it's 29 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: really low. What complicates things is he's got nine candidates 30 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: running against him, so they are prettydictively splitting the splitting 31 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: the anti Gascone vote in nine different ways, which means 32 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: it's unlikely not only is Gascone not getting in the 33 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: fifty percent, but nobody else is either. So there's two possibilities. 34 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: Either two of those nine end up in a runoff 35 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: against each other two non Gascone candidates, or somehow mathematically 36 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: the way everything splits, Gascone sneaks in. He's not gonna 37 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: win a general election in November, but he can get 38 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: in as one of the top two, so it's it 39 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: really matters if we want to kill him off now politically, 40 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: we got to strike a blow in March. And you 41 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: have to be aware of just how awful he is 42 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: because normally, I mean, he really to me, exhibits sociopathic tendencies. 43 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: He's got no conscience at all, he has no empathy 44 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: at all. Clearly even for murder victims, murder victims, families, 45 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: people have suffered terrible trauma and tragedy. H he won't 46 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: let any of his deputy district attorneys accompany them to 47 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: parole hearings. It's that kind of cruelty. So he I mean, 48 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: there's there's bad uh, there's people with bad ideology, and 49 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: certainly woke ideology is one of the is the one 50 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: of the worst I've ever seen. But then there's just 51 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: a personal meanness and that's where Gascon has And now 52 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: he's really rubbing our faces in it because he has 53 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: released and this was done quietly on Friday. Friday is 54 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: where they dump really bad negative news, figuring that nobody 55 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: in the media is going to notice. And often it 56 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: works because Friday, everybody's uh, everybody's close shop in the 57 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: media newsrooms, and by Monday, well it's old news. I 58 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: mean that was last week's news. We don't follow those 59 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: rich here on our show. It's always news just because 60 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: you covered it up for a long weekend. Well here 61 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, we're getting to it. I found this in 62 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: the California Globe. Originally on Friday, the LA District Attorney's 63 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: office released an list of internal promotions that will take 64 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: effect in the new year. One of these appointments is 65 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: Tiffany Blacknew, who will now serve as Gascone's chief of 66 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: staff because the old chief of staff is being promoted 67 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: to chief Deputy District Attorney. By the way, his name 68 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: is Joseph and Eguez. Iniguez was arrested two years ago 69 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: on suspicion of public intoxication. He then filed suit in 70 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: federal court claiming that the Azusa Police Department had violated 71 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: civil rights. That suit was settled, and the California Attorney 72 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: General's office chose not to pursue the public intoxication prosecution. 73 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: They had to send the case to the California Attorney General, 74 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: and of course Rob Bonta's office gave him cover. So 75 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: now we've got chief Deputy District attorney, a guy who 76 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,119 Speaker 1: was arrested for public intoxication and replacing Hims. Tiffany Black 77 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: now now Black now by profession is a public defender, 78 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: but she's more than that. She's a former admitted looter. 79 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: Because Bill Malugin from Fox News, who's still you know, 80 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: he's the national correspondent covering the border in Texas, but 81 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: he still keeps his hand in LA News. And he 82 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: resurrected this post from what was then Twitter Tiffany Townend 83 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: Black now May at exactly nine pm again she's your 84 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: new George Gascon chief of staff, and she writes, I 85 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: was a louder in nineteen ninety two. I was fifteen. 86 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: I was furious. This is after George Floyd and oh 87 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this was Rodney King. I was aluter in 88 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two. I was fifteen. I was furious, sad, 89 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: and scared. I had no way to process my emotions 90 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: about the murder of Latasha Harlan's or the beating of 91 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: Rodney King. So we went out and we watched our 92 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: city burn, and when the opportunity arose, we took some bleep, 93 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: complete with a bleep emoji. It was one of the 94 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: most formative moments of my life. I remember it so clearly. 95 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: I remember sitting on my cousin's car and watching the 96 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: fire on the first night with tears in my eyes, 97 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: and tonight I am triggered because this was the George 98 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: Floyd moment right twenty twenty. So the George Floyd moment 99 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: triggered her, and she decided to go public and waxed 100 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: nostalgically about the time. Shear her she helped to burn 101 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: down her own neighborhood, part of her own city. So 102 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: please don't come on my page complaining about protesters or looters. 103 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: Don't tell me bleep about the whole foods in West 104 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: Hollywood or you beloved Santa Monica. My whole community was 105 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: leveled crimea river. Nordstroms will be okay. All this respectability 106 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: by black folks and complaining by West side white liberals 107 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: is maddening. So she throws in some racism. She throws 108 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: in hatred for people who succeed in life. She doesn't 109 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: care if Nordstroms is taken out. And again, it's her 110 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: own neighborhood, it's her own part of town. In fact, 111 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: she helped loot, she helped steal things. It's her formative 112 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: experience being fifteen with Rodney King, and now she's triggered. 113 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: Oh my. What triggered is triggered is when you have 114 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: an underlying mental illness and now you feel permission to 115 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: act out. That's all triggering is all these people who 116 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: have these public displays or even private displays of excess 117 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: emotion and overreaction to some political or social issue. These 118 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: are mentally ill people. And usually if you suffer a trauma, 119 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: you go for therapy. Maybe you should take some pills 120 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: and learn how to act publicly. But Tiffany Blackmail can't, 121 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: and she gets rewarded. Gascone rewards her her. While you're 122 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: judging their conduct, meaning the George Floyd writers and looters 123 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: and their character, remember that they are kids. How would 124 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: you feel if you were inheriting this bleephole country? A 125 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: country where we boast about our billionaires, but our hospitals 126 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: can't protect nurses and doctors. A country where people are 127 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: murdered by militarized police paid to control you. How would 128 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: you feel half your country is unemployed, half your county 129 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: is unemployed. If you were being priced out of higher education, 130 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: how would you feel if you were the first to 131 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: die in a pandemic and the last to receive a bailout. 132 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: And she goes on from there. There's other statement she's made, 133 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: which I will get to when we come back. And 134 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: the writer of this piece, Martin Marx in California Globe, 135 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: is going to be our guest in the three o'clock hour. 136 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: But this is the final stick in the eye from 137 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: George Gascon. A confessed looter becomes chief of staff, someone 138 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: who absolutely hates successful people and is racially biased to 139 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: boot we'll get to that. You white West Side liberals, 140 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: please stop whining if your Whole Foods is looted. Okay, 141 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: you have no right. It doesn't matter that you worked 142 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: for your money. It doesn't matter that there's people at 143 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: the Whole Foods who depend on it for their jobs, 144 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: to pay their rent and bills. No, Tiffany Black now 145 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: thinks a Whole food should be sacrificed. A Nordstrom should 146 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: be sacrificed, because she says so, and she's got credentials. 147 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: She's a louter. More coming up on her when we 148 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: come back on the John Cobelt Show. 149 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 150 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 2: six forty. 151 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: We are live on Instagram right now, some kind of 152 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: experiment is running and I get to look at myself 153 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: on a screen while I'm talking, which is terrible.

Oh no, No, this 169 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: matters because he's in the fight of his life politically. 170 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: He only has a fifteen percent approval rating and polls 171 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: are showing that most of the public is never going 172 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: to vote for him. As long as he's in a 173 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: runoff after the March primary in November, he's going to lose. 174 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: Now who's going to take him on, We don't know yet. 175 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: There's several candidates who if there's been a number of polls, 176 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: and the polls are all over the place. Nathan Hawkman 177 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: did well in one, John does well, Eric Sadahl did 178 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: well in one, and there's others as well Marie Ramirez, 179 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: so it's impossible to tell what's gonna happen. What would 180 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: be great is if two of the opposing candidates got 181 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: in for the March runoff, and then we could not 182 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: only have a victory dance on Gascone's political grave, but 183 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: then we could enjoy the next six months not worry 184 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: about whether something weird is going to happen or you know, 185 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: they might rig the election because remember the George Gascone 186 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: recall was rigged. They threw out an excess amount of 187 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: signatures because the registrar's office is just corrupt, so you 188 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: never know what's going to happen. Nobody wants to take 189 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: that chance. So what we need is two candidates in 190 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: the runoff and Gascon to finish third or farther back. Now, 191 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: you think a guy and that kind of precarious political 192 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,479 Speaker 1: situation would be very careful with who he gives promotions to. Instead, 193 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: he elevated the notorious cop hater Tiffany Blacknew and just 194 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: if you're just joining us, Just to quickly recap, she 195 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: tweeted in twenty twenty that this was the George Floyd week. 196 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: I was a looter in nineteen ninety two, Rodney kingtime. 197 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: I was fifteen. I was furious, sad and scared. I 198 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: had no way to process my emotions. So we went 199 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: out and we watched our city burn and when the 200 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,599 Speaker 1: opportunity arose, we took some bleep. It was one of 201 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: the most formative moments of my life. So here she 202 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: is bragging about stealing things, taking things that she should 203 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: have gone to jail for taking, and she's bragging about it. 204 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: Now she's the chief of staff for George Gascon. Here's 205 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: some other things that she has posted on Twitter, which 206 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: has now become x. In twenty nineteen, she wrote, prison 207 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: is obsolete. We need to reimagine America without it. That's 208 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: a sweeping statement. Not reforming prison, not coming up with 209 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:09,599 Speaker 1: more fake rehabilitation programs for prison. It's eliminating prison. It's obsolete. 210 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: We have to live without it. Here's some more and 211 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: credit to Bill Malugin. Bill Malugin at Fox News found 212 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: these tweets. California Globe has publicized these tweets, and here 213 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: is a previous tweet where she called LAPD barbarians and 214 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: an occupying army. This is her attitude as the chief 215 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: of staff for the top one enforcement official in Los 216 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: Angeles County. And as I mentioned before, she targeted people 217 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: in West Hollywood, people in Santa Monica for complaining that 218 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: their nordstrums or their whole foods was looted and made 219 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: disparaging remarks not only about black suit complain but white 220 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: liberals on the West Side. So she's a an all 221 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: around hater of the human race, a lot of anger. 222 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: Clearly she doesn't have the stability to be the chief 223 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: of staff for George Gascon, or maybe she does because 224 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: he's a lunatic, so odds are he would only hire 225 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: a lunatic to be the chief of staff. I mean, 226 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: you couldn't imagine anybody rational or reasonable taking that job. 227 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: Who'd want to work with him. I imagine everybody reasonable 228 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: is just waiting out these this last year or so 229 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: until he's finally gone. But I'm telling you that I 230 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: also don't want apathy to take over, you know, sometimes 231 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: in primary elections, because the presidential race should be the 232 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: big driver. However, barring his death, Joe Biden is going 233 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: to be the almost automatic Democratic nominee. He'll win in California. 234 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: Trump will win on the Republican side. And for all 235 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: the people who pooh pooh the number of how blue 236 00:15:55,280 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: California is, there are more Republicans voting for true than 237 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: in any other state, simply because of the size of California. 238 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: What we need is a big turnout on both sides 239 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: of people who cannot stand the filthy, dangerous mess that 240 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: Los Angeles County has become. So I couldn't care less 241 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: who you vote for for president in this context, but 242 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: I want you to vote in the primary. And you've 243 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: got nine other choices other than George Gascone, So there's 244 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: no excuse here. When he's when he's hiring or promoting 245 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: an admitted looter, When she is busy calling for the 246 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: abolition of prison and calling the police, barbarians. There's no 247 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: excuse for this. I mean, you know, clearly she's unhinged, 248 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: and she has every right to be unhinged, and she 249 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: can have any opinion that she wants and say what 250 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: she can protest. She could loot because looting is legal. 251 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: Now I guess it was legal then, so fine, go 252 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: go steal your stuff. But to be chief of staff 253 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: for the LA County District Attorney, you have the power 254 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: to stop this. You can do it by voting for 255 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: someone else other than Gascon. I'm not even gonna make 256 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: any not gonna tell you who to vote for, no endorsements, 257 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: know nothing. Just vote against George gascone, vote for somebody else. 258 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 1: Keep track of the polls, look at the leaders. Push 259 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 1: whoever the leaders are over the top, get two of 260 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: them past Gascon. They're all pretty much the same, with 261 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: the exception of one guy whose name I'm not going 262 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: to mention because he's not doing well in the polls 263 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: and I don't want to raise his profile yet. We'll 264 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: just see what happens. But the rest of him, they 265 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: all seem to be good people and they would do 266 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: it's obviously right. All right, We've got more coming up, 267 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: and we got a lot on this show, and I'll 268 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: give you a rundown after Debor's news. But next, what 269 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: we're going to do is the Los Angeles Times, after 270 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: years and years of denial, has finally admitted and put 271 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: at the top of their website today all day long, 272 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: rich people or leaving California. That's bad for the economy. 273 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: What they're saying is that's bad for tax revenue, for 274 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: hair jail. And I'll explain because they denied this was 275 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: going on for years, and it is going on, and 276 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: it's going on at a rapidly accelerating rate. So that's 277 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: next on the John Cobelt Show. 278 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM 279 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 2: six forty. 280 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: All right, here's what's coming up later in the program. 281 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw, but we're setting records 282 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: today at the Mexican border. About twelve thousand people have 283 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: stormed the border. It's completely out of control. Bill Malugin again, 284 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: I heard one of his reports driving in and I've 285 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: got to get a moment to look at the video 286 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: on Fox News, but he said that it was just 287 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: a scene of utter chaos, Like he hadn't witnessed in 288 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: two years since all those Haitians. If you remember there 289 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: were thousands of Haitians hiding under an overpass a couple 290 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: of years back. Well, it's that bad and worse according 291 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: to malusion. And he said in his report at the border, 292 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: he couldn't see a single border patrol agent, like no 293 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: government at all. The US government does not even exist 294 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: at the border in some areas we are going. And 295 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: the reason I bring this up is in the news 296 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: today is the Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill 297 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: that gives local police the authority to arrest migrants and judges, 298 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: state judges the ability to remove them to Mexico. Of 299 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: course this is gonna and gender a huge legal fight 300 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: with the Biden administration, but Abbott is just going for 301 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: it because he's had it. And also next hour, Alex Stone, 302 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: this is a really disgusting idea. I hope you're done 303 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: with your lunch. Oh you'll like this, right. I know 304 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: how health oriented you are. Your drinking water now it's 305 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: going to be coming from your toilet. I know they're 306 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: going to take your toilet flushes, clean your waste water, 307 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: and then eventually send it back to you as drinking water. 308 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 3: I think I'm going to stick with the bottled water. 309 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: I remember in Orange County years ago they announced they 310 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: wanted to do this, and there was such blowback that 311 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: they canceled the project. And now are people comfortable with this? Well? 312 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 3: There I was watching actually on the news this morning, 313 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 3: and they showed treated wastewater and non treated, and you really, 314 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 3: the way it goes through this process, you can't tell 315 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 3: the difference. Now, obviously I'm not looking at it under 316 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 3: a microscope, but the reporter was saying, you cannot tell. 317 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 3: It goes through so many different chains of cleaning, and 318 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 3: they get rid of viruses and they get rid of 319 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 3: the pathogens. 320 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. 321 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 3: There might be some tiny, little minuscule. 322 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: Theoretically it probably works, but in real life the government 323 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: fouls things like this up all the time. Remember the 324 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: the wastewater release in uh was it an al segundo 325 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: from the wastewater treating plant and it fouled the water 326 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: in the local area and there was a bad stink 327 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: coming from the canal and it went out into the ocean. 328 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: So there's there's malfunctions all the time at these wastewater 329 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: treating plants. So I don't want to deal with malfunction 330 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: and I'm drinking somebody else's poop. 331 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 3: Well, I guess you can smell it first, see if 332 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 3: it has. 333 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm just gonna have to. I'm just 334 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: this is so frustrating because I don't like the idea 335 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: of it just bugs me. 336 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 3: Well s woopy water. 337 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: I mean, have you seen people? Have I seen people? 338 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: I've seen people. I mean, you know, I don't want 339 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: to drink water that came out of their system. I 340 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: don't want to drink water that comes out of my system. Well, 341 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: good point. Anyway, we'll talk about that with Alex Stone 342 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: at two thirty. And then the writer of that California 343 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: Globe piece on George Gascon's knewest chief of staff, the looter. 344 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: That's they we're going to know her. She's gonna be 345 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: known as Tiffany the Looter Black now great, all right? 346 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: For years, the El Segundo prov The Times has insisted that, 347 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: and you know what else has insisted this. Politicians, all 348 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: sorts of editorial writers, columnists, slanted stories and headlines in 349 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: the La Times. Politicians, bureaucrats, you name it, have said no, no, 350 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: the tax burden isn't too much. It's not true that 351 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: that rich people are leaving. That's just not true, and 352 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: we always have new people moving in. Finally, I'll give 353 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: them credit. I figured out the the el segundos. They'll 354 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: why for years and then when the evidence is overwhelming, 355 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 1: they do a big, splashy story on the front page 356 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: to make it look like they were the first to 357 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: break the news. And we were the ones who discovered 358 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: that California, the California wealthy are fleeing to low tax 359 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: or no tax states. You know they and what they 360 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: have here is a huge story that ran, Uh guy, 361 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how many pages here, I mean five 362 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: full pages explaining how the wealthy people are fleeing have 363 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: been fleeing, and why this is bad for the economy, 364 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: bad for tax revenue. Even though California, this is by 365 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: Don Lee, even though California has experienced lopsided out migration 366 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: for decades. That means that there's always been recently, there's 367 00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: been people always moving out, but they always got replaced 368 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: by newcomers who were better educated and earned more money 369 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: than those who left. And we told you this a 370 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: few years ago, that that had long changed, that people 371 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: were leaving, and they're getting replaced by poor people, largely immigrants, 372 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: most of them illegal immigrants. If you keep adding illegal 373 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:28,479 Speaker 1: immigrants and other poor people, but you're losing the wealthiest, well, 374 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: what's going to happen? Eventually there is a mathematical tipping point. Well, 375 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: it looks like we reached it. According to new data, 376 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: for the last several years, thousands more high earning, well 377 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: educated workers have left California than have moved in the reversal, 378 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: largely in response to the state's high taxes and soaring 379 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: costs of living. I can't tell you how many high 380 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: tax advocates were babbling their propaganda about, Oh, I don't 381 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: worry the wealthy people, they're not going to leave California. Oh, 382 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: it's too beautiful here, the weather is great. You know. 383 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: They just looked at it as a tax you have 384 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: to pay to enjoy the California lifestyle. No, they don't 385 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: want hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen from them every 386 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: year and they get nothing back for it. Well, I've 387 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: also heard this that, well, you know, in European countries 388 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: the tax rates even higher. Yeah, but in European countries 389 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: they got a healthcare system, and they also got a 390 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: top of the line school system. We get neither here 391 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: in California, and we get garbage roads and they're destroying 392 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: the police department. State budget analysts projected a sixty eight 393 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: billion dollar deficit because there's been a twenty five percent 394 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: drop in personal income tax collection, and part of that 395 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: was a not great stock market last year, and there 396 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: were layoffs in the tech sector. Some of the companies 397 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: were struggling with profits. But really it's what they don't 398 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: want to touch here. It's not just the high taxes, 399 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: but the quality of life. You know how many well 400 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: paid six figure people moved out of San Francisco, thousands 401 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: because they were sick of people defecating in front of them, 402 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: urinating in front of them, vomiting in front of them, 403 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: and injecting heroin, tossing the needles, snorting math, running half naked, 404 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: screaming in the streets. People got fed up with it, 405 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: and where they're going is love tax states. In fact, 406 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: they interviewed Sue Jin Yang. She moved herself and her business. 407 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: Her business is designer eyelashes. What the hell is a 408 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: designer eyelash? Well, you go and. 409 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 3: You get eyelashes. Glued onto your current eyelash. The good 410 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 3: money in that oh god, yeah, it's a lot of money. 411 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 3: I don't have them, but I know a lot of 412 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 3: people that do well. 413 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 1: She no longer feels safe in downtown Oakland. Go to Nevada. 414 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: Fewer regulations, no personal income tax, Yang said, definitely, the 415 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: tax breaks, more affordable wages. In twenty twenty one and 416 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: twenty two, about seven hundred and fifty thousand more people 417 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: left the state than moved in. And it used to 418 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: be that people with college educations would move in from 419 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: other states. But now no, again, we're getting mostly immigrant, 420 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, legal immigrants coming in. This matters because the 421 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,239 Speaker 1: top one percent of income earners in California account for 422 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: forty five percent of the total income tax revenue. It 423 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: used to be the average income of taxpayers who moved 424 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: to another state was about one hundred and thirty seven 425 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: thousand dollars in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty. It 426 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: used to be seventy five thousand. So it used to 427 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: be ten years ago people making seventy five grand got 428 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: out of state. Now it's people making one hundred and 429 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 1: thirty seven grand, and they're moving to Texas. They're moving 430 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: to Florida, Nevada, Tennessee because they don't have personal income 431 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: tax and in California the top rate is a twelve 432 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: point three percent, and then if you're a millionaire, there's 433 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: taxes on top of that. I think it goes all 434 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: the way up to fourteen point three percent. So that 435 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: was what That's what a lot of smart people said 436 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: for years and years and years, and people like Newsom 437 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: and Jerry Brown said no, no, no, that's not true. 438 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: That's not true. Well it is true. And the El 439 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: Segundo Times had said it for years and they were lying, 440 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: wishful thinking propaganda. You could pick whatever name you want 441 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: for it. Now we come back, speaking of Nevada and Newsome. 442 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: The El Sagundo Times went to Nevada to see if 443 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,239 Speaker 1: anyone is interest. Didn't Gavin Newsom for president? Couldn't they 444 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: find anyone? Anyone? They interviewed democrats. Tell you next. 445 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM 446 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 2: six forty. 447 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: Derek Ward, a former NFL running back and a Super 448 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: Bowl champion, arrested this week here in LA for committing 449 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: multiple robberies. Derek Ward didn't even use a weapon because 450 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: he was six feet tall and two hundred and thirty pounds. 451 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: He's been booked on a quarter million dollars bail. This 452 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: guy made twenty million dollars in his career. At one 453 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: point he signed a seventeen million dollar contract. I guess 454 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: he didn't finish it out. And he was with the 455 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: New York Giants in two thousand and seven, the year 456 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: that they beat Tom Brady. He was in ninety three 457 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: games as a running back, had had fifteen touchdowns, and 458 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: now in retirement he was robbing people. There you go. 459 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: We mentioned before that a lot of wealthy people are 460 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: leaving California, and this is they're taking their money out 461 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: of the economy and they're taking their money out of 462 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: the treasury, which is why California has got a sixty 463 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: eight billion dollar deficit. The El Segundo Time sent Mark 464 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: barback to Nevada to see if anyone's interested in having 465 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom as president, and he interviewed Democrats. And you know, 466 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: some people are hoping that anybody jumps into the race 467 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: before before Biden passes away. Nobody of note has so far. 468 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: And here's just some random quotes from various Democrats in 469 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: Las Vegas and there's a guy here, what's his name, McCrone, 470 00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: David mucrone. Oh, the Times. The Times opens but pointing 471 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: out Mucrone is gay and Latino. Yes, Oh, they're so precious, 472 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: And Malcrone said, the last time I was in San 473 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: Francisco was about five years ago. Mcrone said, as he 474 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: led his three pet beagles on a walk in a 475 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: Las Vegas suburb. Last time at San Francisco about five 476 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: years ago, and he recalled stepping from his car and 477 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: hit with a pungent whiff of urine rising from the street. 478 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: He blamed Newsom. Now, there's no evidence that Newsom was 479 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: the one who urinated, but he immediately associated the stink 480 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: with Yeah, the Newsom. I think his policies were too liberal, 481 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: and that kind of laid the foundation for why San 482 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: Francisco is the mess it is now. I don't care 483 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: if I ever set foot there again. Hmm. I guess 484 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: the Commist was expecting a gay Latino to be liberal 485 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: enough that he wouldn't object to stepping into a pool 486 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: of urine. Then the talk barback talk to Michelle Hoffman, 487 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: and she likes Biden, but she says Biden can't make it. 488 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: No Newsom, He's got that California stigma. I'm from Missouri, 489 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: and I don't think he'd get support from the rest 490 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,959 Speaker 1: of the country that he would need to beat Biden. 491 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: In nearly three dozen interviews with voters in and around 492 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, not one of them mentioned Newsome as a 493 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: substitute for Biden. But you know what that tracks with 494 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: national polls. And national polls, Newsom only gets three percent. 495 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: When they ask separately, Okay, Biden can't run, who do 496 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: you think should be the Democratic nominee? It was some 497 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: way in the back of the room three percent. There 498 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: also was no clamor for Kamalala Harris to step in either, 499 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: and they would rather deal with Biden being one hundred 500 00:32:54,520 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: and ten years old and in dementia than have Gavin Newsom. 501 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: Here's another guy. His name is Pruett. He visits Los 502 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: Angeles for business. Oh, it's a woman. She visits Los 503 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: Angeles for business. She sells vintage antiques. And her opinion 504 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: of Newsom is he really screwed over a lot of people. 505 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: Democrat Cindy Manche likes the Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer much better. 506 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: Uh manche doesn't miss the high taxes in cost of 507 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: California living and also thinks Newsom is too liberal to 508 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: win the White House. Plus, I don't think he's done 509 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: that great a job as governor, and certainly the Republicans 510 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: that Barback interviewed didn't want Newsom. They found one of them. 511 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: They found one guy. Yeah, they found one guy, a 512 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: guy named Brian. He uh works at at a shopping mall. 513 00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: I love Gavin Newsom. He's young, he's intelligent, He's done 514 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: a lot of great things for California. Brian said this 515 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: during a vape and coffee break. When we come back, 516 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: we're going to talk to We're going to talk to 517 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: Jim Ryan from ABC News. Jim Ryan from ABC News Today, 518 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: Governor Greg Abbott, this is another guy I like. He 519 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: just keeps coming at all these immigration weasels. In the 520 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: Biden administration. He signed a bill giving local police the 521 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: authority to arrest migrants, and he gave state judges the 522 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: ability to remove them to Mexico. So this is causing 523 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: a big riot in political circles in Washington, d C. 524 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: Jim Ryan's going to explain it all coming up on 525 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: the John Cobelt Show and Debora Mark Is live in 526 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
