Speaker 2: Is Kamala Harris going to be the governor of California?
Speaker 2: Is that a stepping stone for her being the nominee
Speaker 2: for the Democrats once again?
Speaker 3: Plus?
Speaker 2: Has Gavin Newsom killed the industry that we most associate
Speaker 2: with California the film industry. We're going to discuss this
Speaker 2: now with our friend Elizabeth barko'hanna. She is a California
Speaker 2: GOP delegate, a lady who knows the pulse of all
Speaker 2: things GOP in her home state. And Elizabeth, thanks for
Speaker 2: being on the show.
Speaker 4: Great to have you, absolutely, thank you so much. I'm
Speaker 4: so glad to be here.
Speaker 2: So talk to me about Kamala because I'll tell you this.
Speaker 2: My co host Clay Travis, I've been saying to him
Speaker 2: that if Kamala lost, which she obviously did, she's going
Speaker 2: to end up the provost of one of the UC schools,
Speaker 2: making a million dollars a year to do nothing except
Speaker 2: a show up at an occasional cocktail party. I am
Speaker 2: seeing so I'm reporting that, Oh no, she is not done.
Speaker 2: In fact, she may be the next governor of California.
Speaker 2: You and I may think that's insane. Do California Democrats
Speaker 2: what happens?
Speaker 1: The first time I heard that Kamala Harris after the election,
Speaker 1: that she may run for governor, I almost fainted because
Speaker 1: the idea of having to listen to her speak for
Speaker 1: another however, many years, or even just through a campaign,
Speaker 1: sounds very painful. Kamala Harris, Yes, there is talk of
Speaker 1: her running for governor of California. Gavin Newsom is turned
Speaker 1: out in twenty twenty six, as if California governorship is
Speaker 1: some consolation prize for losing the presidency in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: She so, she spent, she lost.
Speaker 1: She wasted about one point five billion dollars on that
Speaker 1: presidential campaign, and I read almost half of that money
Speaker 1: came from California. So it would be pretty silly to
Speaker 1: run a candidate again that, you know, flushed one point
Speaker 1: five billion of your dollars down the toilet. But you
Speaker 1: know that doing stupid stuff hasn't stopped them before, right, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, they tell us that Biden didn't have dementia, and
Speaker 2: that didn't work out so well for them In twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four. But in terms of where the Democrats are
Speaker 2: in your state and the Democrat you know machinery if
Speaker 2: you will, like well Gavin, what will Gavin Newsom support
Speaker 2: Kamala in your mind to be the next governor, because
Speaker 2: if that happens, it feels like there's a very good
Speaker 2: chance that she's going to try to I mean, if
Speaker 2: she becomes the governor, why wouldn't she try to become
Speaker 2: president again?
Speaker 1: Well, we saw a very weird dynamic between the two
Speaker 1: of them when Biden stepped down. They kept him away
Speaker 1: and I don't there's a debate about whether they were
Speaker 1: keeping him away from her or they were keeping him
Speaker 1: away to as not taint him for his future run
Speaker 1: for president. That's possible too. They may cut some deal
Speaker 1: where if he supports her, she'll support him. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't know, but we do know that Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: has run for statewide office before in California, and she
Speaker 1: honestly did.
Speaker 4: Not do very well.
Speaker 1: She ran in a competitive race, and we expect that
Speaker 1: the governor's race in twenty twenty six is going to
Speaker 1: be competitive. She ran in a competitive race against a
Speaker 1: Republican who was the former Republican District Attorney of La County,
Speaker 1: so coolly she ran against him for attorney general and
Speaker 1: barely won. She didn't even crack fifty percent of the vote,
Speaker 1: and it was a one percent, very very close election.
Speaker 1: That was the last time she ever ran against a
Speaker 1: Republican in a competitive race. When she ran for US Senate,
Speaker 1: she was running against another Democrat. So she is a
Speaker 1: weak Democrat candidate, even for California, and their field is
Speaker 1: already pretty crowded, you know, she did when there was
Speaker 1: talk of her running, there were Democrats that were still
Speaker 1: declaring that they're going to run for governor even if
Speaker 1: she runs.
Speaker 4: One of them.
Speaker 1: Is Javier Bessera, who was a secretary under Joe Biden.
Speaker 4: We have Katie Porter who's running.
Speaker 1: You know, she has said that if Kamala runs, she
Speaker 1: may drop out, but who knows. So the feel distill
Speaker 1: developing on both sides, the Republican and the Duncraft side.
Speaker 2: Our sponsor here is Paradigm Press. Have you heard about
Speaker 2: America's one hundred and fifty trillion dollars secret trust fund.
Speaker 2: Former presidential advisor Jim Rickards just released an explosive story.
Speaker 2: A fifteen figure fortune owned by the government, trapped for
Speaker 2: more than a century. Starting this summer, it could be
Speaker 2: released to the public. It's big enough to pay off
Speaker 2: our national debt four times over, but something even more
Speaker 2: stunning is likely to happen next year. You can check
Speaker 2: it out right now at birthright twenty twenty five dot com.
Speaker 2: Jim Rickards correctly predicted Trump's twenty sixteen victory when polls
Speaker 2: only gave him a one to two percent chance. He
Speaker 2: predicted the pandemic and lockdowns in twenty twenty. Co crafted
Speaker 2: the Petro Dollar accord in the nineteen seventies that gave
Speaker 2: the US dollar reserve currency status and even helped the
Speaker 2: US and the Iranian hostage crisis in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 2: Jim's calls are incredible when you look at his history.
Speaker 2: Jim Rickards wants you to see his latest go to
Speaker 2: birthright twenty twenty five dot com. Okay, so we've got
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom still the governor of California, which is quite
Speaker 2: a shame because it's a beautiful state with many lovely people,
Speaker 2: and yet it is poorly governed, as we all know,
Speaker 2: and not just by the governor but by the entire
Speaker 2: Democrat Party. The movie industry is getting attention right now
Speaker 2: because Trump has brought up this idea of tariffs on
Speaker 2: foreign made movies, the booby tariffs.
Speaker 3: What they've done is other nations we have been stealing
Speaker 3: these the movies, the movie making capabilities from the United States.
Speaker 3: And I said to a couple of people, what do
Speaker 3: you think. I've done some very strong research over the
Speaker 3: last week, and we're making very few movies. Now Hollywood
Speaker 3: has been destroyed.
Speaker 1: Now you have an.
Speaker 3: Incompetent, grossly in competent governor.
Speaker 1: That allowed that to happen.
Speaker 3: So I'm not just claiming other nations, but other nations,
Speaker 3: a lot of them have stolen our movie in this
Speaker 3: strict and I'm saying, if they're not willing to make
Speaker 3: a movie inside the United States, and we should have
Speaker 3: a tariff for then. And not only that, governments are
Speaker 3: actually giving big money. I mean they're supporting them financially.
Speaker 3: So that's sort of a threat to our country in
Speaker 3: a sense. And it's been a very popular thing. I
Speaker 3: can tell moving movie makers love.
Speaker 2: Before we dive into into into that more specifically, what
Speaker 2: what is going on where I'm seeing all these interviews
Speaker 2: and podcasts with actors and Hollywood people who are saying
Speaker 2: it is too expensive to make any movies or TV
Speaker 2: shows in Hollywood these days. How does that happen?
Speaker 1: That's been going on for a really long time. So,
Speaker 1: and it's a really big problem not for you know,
Speaker 1: the big name producers or actors, you know, the wealthy
Speaker 1: elite in Hollywood. It's a problem for the crew and
Speaker 1: the and the the people who are actually you know,
Speaker 1: behind the scenes making the movies, the costumes designer, set designers,
Speaker 1: like all of those.
Speaker 4: People, all of those.
Speaker 1: Jobs are being sent out of state. That has been
Speaker 1: going on for a really long time. The other states
Speaker 1: in the nation offer tax incentives, and so they the
Speaker 1: films get the movies get filmed elsewhere. And now that's
Speaker 1: happening also on an international scale. And another thing that
Speaker 1: really killed the film industry is the pandemic. So they
Speaker 1: they with the mandates and you.
Speaker 2: Know, the the yeah, the insanity of California. This audience
Speaker 2: certainly remembers all that. But listen, why doesn't Why don't democrats,
Speaker 2: i mean democrats like Hollywood at least they have for
Speaker 2: a long time. Why don't they offer these tax credits.
Speaker 1: They're starting to talk about it. I think it's just
Speaker 1: because they've had other priorities. Gavin Newsom is a Northern
Speaker 1: California president. When he excuse me, governor when he ran
Speaker 1: when he ran for governor, uh, he ran against Antonio
Speaker 1: Vera gu Rosa, who was the former mayor of Los
Speaker 1: Angeles who and he was.
Speaker 4: It was like a nor cal So cal fight.
Speaker 1: And obviously, you know, Gavin Newsom prevailed in that.
Speaker 4: And that's where.
Speaker 1: You know, the Silicon Valley, the San Francisco, the Bay
Speaker 1: Area interests, the tech interests really took over in terms
Speaker 1: of economic policy and focus of the Democrat Party to
Speaker 1: Southern California's detriment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been remarkable to see how the movie industry,
Speaker 2: which you know, people think Silicon Valley. Obviously that's northern California, right,
Speaker 2: So the two titans of industry in your home state
Speaker 2: in California are the mo the industry and Silicon Valley.
Speaker 2: And at the southern end of the state movie industry
Speaker 2: is in. It has been a rough spot for a while.
Speaker 2: I saw this podcast, I think it was with Rob
Speaker 2: Low and Adam Scott, who actually some people say I
Speaker 2: look like, but put that aside. Adam Scott and he
Speaker 2: was saying that it's more expensive to film in Hollywood
Speaker 2: than it is to fly everybody to Like, I think
Speaker 2: it was hungry, he said, I think it was. I
Speaker 2: think it was past and that to me is just
Speaker 2: indicative of how crazy the the California policies are going.
Speaker 2: By the way, one thing, you know, you know about
Speaker 2: how is the the rebuild going after the terrible wildfires there.
Speaker 2: There's been nothing in the media, at least the national
Speaker 2: media about this for months. Member of Gavin Newsom showed up.
Speaker 2: He said, Oh, we're gonna like, we're gonna make the
Speaker 2: permitting faster and it's all gonna be so smooth. What's
Speaker 2: really happening Palisades fire? You know, aftermath, right.
Speaker 1: There's a there is a lot going on, but it's
Speaker 1: happening so slowly that it's not necessarily in the news.
Speaker 1: What was just published in the news is that the
Speaker 1: water reservoir that was empty, that was supposed to feed
Speaker 1: the Palisades, you know, they didn't have enough water to
Speaker 1: fight the fire, that's empty.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 1: At about the one hundred daymark, I think Los Angeles
Speaker 1: had approved four or six permits for rebuilding out of
Speaker 1: the you know, thousands of structures that were lost. A
Speaker 1: lot of people have moved down to you know, Orange
Speaker 1: County or Manhattan Beach.
Speaker 4: They've like temporarily relocated.
Speaker 1: The schools in the area have been closed and they've
Speaker 1: relocated to other places.
Speaker 4: There's talk about rebuilding.
Speaker 1: Rick Caruso has been very involved in trying to get
Speaker 1: this process to kind of have AI look at plans
Speaker 1: to speed up the permit approval process so people are
Speaker 1: basically self authentic.
Speaker 2: Has governor knew some streamline the bureaucracy. Have they gotten
Speaker 2: the Coastal Commission to back off all that stuff?
Speaker 4: Not?
Speaker 1: No, not really. I mean that you need to do
Speaker 1: a few things at the state wide level. You need
Speaker 1: to get rid of SIQUA, you need to get rid
Speaker 1: of the California Coastal Commission, you need to fix the
Speaker 1: insurance industry problem.
Speaker 4: And no, he hasn't done any of those things.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's talk about Latinos for Trump here
Speaker 2: in just a second. What do you say we'll talk
Speaker 2: about Latinos for Trump, because obviously California a very large
Speaker 2: Latino population, and I want to know how they're feeling
Speaker 2: after this Trump election. You know, I few non prom
Speaker 2: our sponsor here is Preborn. There are many nonprofits I
Speaker 2: can say they've saved three hundred and fifty thousand babies
Speaker 2: over the existence of that nonprofit, but Preborn is one
Speaker 2: of them. The Preborn team have clinics nationwide who welcome
Speaker 2: pregnant moms to their facilities, and they welcome them with love,
Speaker 2: with open arms and support because they want them to
Speaker 2: see that the future for them should have a baby
Speaker 2: in it and not the other choice, which we know
Speaker 2: is abortion. They do this by an ultrasound. They introduce
Speaker 2: mom to her baby via ultrasound, and they only are
Speaker 2: able to do this because of donations from the pro
Speaker 2: life community. That means you twenty eight dollars is the
Speaker 2: cost of an ultrasound. If you can donate that, that's fantastic.
Speaker 2: You might save a baby's life. If you can donate
Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty dollars, that will be ten ultrasounds,
Speaker 2: which could result in ten births of tiny babies in
Speaker 2: this world. It is a beautiful thing to donate securely.
Speaker 2: Dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby. That's
Speaker 2: pound two five zero say baby, or visit preborn dot
Speaker 2: com slash buck that's preborn dot com slash buck sponsored
Speaker 2: by Preborn art Elizabeth. The Latino vote was actually really
Speaker 2: important for Trump in this last election. Some of that
Speaker 2: data I think showed up in the exit polls in
Speaker 2: California specifically, How are the Latino community that you're in
Speaker 2: touch with, how are they feeling about Trump so far?
Speaker 2: Given the focus of the administration, I would say great.
Speaker 1: I would say that, so President Trump moved the Latino
Speaker 1: man vote in California, and this, I would say the
Speaker 1: focus of the Democrat Party on lionizing and making heroes
Speaker 1: out of you know, MS thirteen, Trenda Agua wife beaters,
Speaker 1: those types of people holding men up like that as
Speaker 1: their here that they are going to fight for and
Speaker 1: flying you know, to El Salvador to check on do
Speaker 1: wellness checks on them. I think that that really reinforces
Speaker 1: that the Democrat Party looks down on the Latino Hispanic community,
Speaker 1: thinks of them as these you know, downtrodden gangsters that
Speaker 1: they need to protect America their rights, and they forgot
Speaker 1: the the aments that are here and what this open
Speaker 1: border has done to their communities.
Speaker 4: It has made.
Speaker 1: It has made all communities in America less safe. It
Speaker 1: has drained social service resources. You know, the in California,
Speaker 1: the Democrats voted to uh extend medical resource, medical welfare
Speaker 1: resources so like health insurance basically to illegal immigrants, and
Speaker 1: that basically bankrupted the whole system where it's cost over
Speaker 1: ten billion dollars when it was supposed to cost much less,
Speaker 1: which we didn't have to begin with. Anyways, they are
Speaker 1: filling the schools and so it's creating a drain on
Speaker 1: the education system for the dwell. I mean there's they
Speaker 1: can see it all with their own eyes and their
Speaker 1: own communities, and it reinforces that correct that they're voted
Speaker 1: right way. It also, uh, Steve Garvey when.
Speaker 4: He ran you upset it.
Speaker 1: He had a huge surge with Latino population in California
Speaker 1: becoming you know, less entrapped by you know, this Democrat
Speaker 1: machine and more open to looking at alternatives. You know,
Speaker 1: they these communities are more religious, they're they stand for
Speaker 1: family values. They're much closer in their certainly their social
Speaker 1: beliefs to conservatives than they are to liberals.
