1 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: No thy enemy. 2 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 2: So we're about to talk about Gavin Newsom, and I 3 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 2: know it seems like it's early. 4 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: We still have midterms, right, we have all these local elections, 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: we have midterm elections. It's early. It is early. 6 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: But he's preparing, shouldn't we That's the important thing to note. 7 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom. As much as I despise him as a 8 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: very capable politician who's wanted to run for president forever, 9 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 2: it's one of those guys. He's always wanted to be president. 10 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 2: He was crisscrossing the country years ago. Last election cycle, 11 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: he was crisscrossing the country. And they're always selling it 12 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: as I'm doing a speaking tour or I'm campaigning for 13 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: someone else, but that's not what they're doing. You see, 14 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 2: they're bouncing around building the bones of what will be 15 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: a presidential campaign a few years from now. Galvin Newsom 16 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 2: is going to run. Galvin Newsom is going to raise 17 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: a boatload of money. We have to be wary of 18 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: it we do, and what we should not do, and 19 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: what we're all tempted to do. I definitely am is 20 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: convince ourselves that the communists are. 21 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: Down and out, They're dead and gone, They're on the outs. 22 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 2: Now the culture has moved away from them, and they're 23 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: never going to win another election. That's just not the 24 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: kind of country we have right now. The reason we 25 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: have been blowing back and forth for quite a while 26 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 2: is American citizens in general are displeased with the state 27 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: of things. They think life is too expensive, too dirty. 28 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 3: To. 29 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: Pick your way to describe it. 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: But when the American people are unhappy, when any people 31 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: are unhappy and they have the opportunity to change their government, 32 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: they oftentimes do. And you and me we can scream 33 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: at them till we're blue in the face about well, 34 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: you don't change it back to the people who burn 35 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: it down, why would you give it? But that falls 36 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: on deaf ears, all the brain dead morons out there 37 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: who actually decide our elections. I'm talking about the people 38 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 2: who vote democratic cycle, the Republican next secon Well, I 39 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 2: don't like it, the back and forth and back and forth. 40 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: These are the people who decide elections. 41 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: Where are we going to be in twenty twenty eight 42 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 2: I have no freaking idea, and neither do you. We 43 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: could be in the middle of a war, a recession, 44 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 2: in economic boom. Things might be great. I don't know 45 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 2: which brings us back to Gavenues. The man's running. Why 46 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 2: do you think he's out there talking about guns? 47 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: Other This is fabulous. 48 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 4: You know what last thing people would expect is. 49 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: That I respect this gift. 50 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 3: Really, I appreciate ye, man. 51 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 4: I'm not an anti gun at all. I'm for just 52 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 4: some gun say common sense that I think vast majority 53 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 4: of folks in the right and the left degree and 54 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 4: I think we lost a little touch with some common 55 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 4: sense around background checks. 56 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: That's a good answer. 57 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 2: Well, I hate it, Okay, I hate it. I know 58 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: you hate it, and I know you're well aware. 59 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: That's how the communist tries to sell what he does. 60 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: It's common sense. It's common sense. 61 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 2: That's how they nibble around the edges of your gun 62 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 2: right so they can eventually disarm you and then throw 63 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: you in a gulag, which is really what they want 64 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: to do. I know that I got that, and you 65 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: got that. We understand each other on that. But for 66 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: the norm out there, for the normies, that's what they 67 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 2: want to hear. The sounds like a very common sense thing. 68 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: It's capable. Do you remember remember remember. 69 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 2: When they tried to butcher up Tim Walls it's a 70 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: natural reaction. 71 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 4: I think it's one of the reasons we're losing so 72 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 4: many men. And again it's multi ethnic. It's not just 73 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 4: white men. We're losing them. We're lose in them to 74 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 4: these guys online. We're losing the people that I'm bringing 75 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 4: on this podcast as well. It's why I bring these 76 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 4: are bad guys though. These are the guys, but they exist, 77 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 4: and we could deny the exist. They exist. Not only 78 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 4: that they exist, they persist and they're actually influencing young kids 79 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 4: every single day. 80 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: Some of those guys back under a rock. 81 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 4: I think we have to first understand what their motivations are. 82 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 4: I think we have to understand what they're actually doing. 83 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 4: And I don't think that's acism and misogyny. I think 84 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 4: there's a lot of that, but I don't think it's 85 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 4: exclusively that. When you talk to a guy like Steve Bannon, 86 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 4: you know, he reminded me a little bit of my 87 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 4: grandfather when he talks about working folks. 88 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 3: I can't message that women shouldn't have. 89 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 4: But I think if we say people are misogynists, then 90 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 4: we're falling prey. We're in that frame. Not everybody that 91 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 4: disagrees with us is a misogynist, even those that. But 92 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 4: I think this notion of I think it's this notion 93 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 4: of toxicity and masculinity needs to be separated. And I 94 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 4: think it's been conflated, and I think we we we 95 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 4: we're going to have to work on that. 96 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: That's a good answer. 97 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 2: You see Democrats hemorrhaged young men last election. Demographically, you 98 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 2: could argue that's the reason Donald Trump is in the 99 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: White House. When you look at how young men voted, 100 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 2: they hate the Democrat Party, and in large part because 101 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party speaks the way Tim Wall spoke. There 102 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 2: aren't they all just sexist, they're stupid, they're all racist, 103 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: Just keep calling them names. Gavin Newsome now he feels 104 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 2: the same way, don't get me wrong, but he understands 105 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: that's how you're going to lose all of them. No 106 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: one's going to come vote for you if that's how 107 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: you speak to them. So he's just better at it. 108 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 2: And he's out there trying to rev up the Democrat 109 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 2: base because they're all a bunch of Trump deranged, insane 110 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: people who've been driven baddie by Trump for ten years, 111 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: and so he's telling them all that there won't be 112 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 2: an election. 113 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 4: Wake up you or lose your country again. 114 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 5: It's not about Democrats or but. 115 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,799 Speaker 6: It's about all of us convinced. 116 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 5: He I'm absolutely you've seen it. 117 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 4: He's tried to steal the last election. 118 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: He tried to race, trying to rig it. 119 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 2: In plain sight, that's what Democrats want to hear. That's 120 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 2: what Democrats want to hear. You have to run as 121 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: a Democrat on fighting Trump at all times. Now, fighting 122 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: Trump now all that's the bad news. And we're gonna 123 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 2: get to some guests who talk about Gavin Newsom, guests 124 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: who know him quite well, people who are current or 125 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: formerly California residents. But the good news is this I had. 126 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 2: I want to thank Gavin Newsom actually for this. One 127 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 2: of my favorite things in politics is Democrat politicians. 128 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: Trying to win the black vote. 129 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 2: You know, it just always creates these cringey, hilarious, kind 130 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 2: of racist moments. You have Joe Biden telling them that 131 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 2: the Republicans are going to put. 132 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: Him in chains. 133 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: He had Hillary Clinton famously saying she cares these hot 134 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 2: sauce around in her purse. Gavin Newsome went on a 135 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: podcast with NBA guys and talked about shooting hoops and Wonderbread. 136 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 4: All this anti woke stuff is just anti black period, 137 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 4: full stop.

Real quick background about Gavin Newsom for 202 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 5: when he does run, and to be clear, he's been 203 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 5: wanting to run his entire life. We'll get to that 204 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 5: in a second. But uh, Gavin Newsom tells a story 205 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 5: about how he grew up poor. His dad was and 206 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 5: I was trying. I was looking up before I got 207 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 5: out here. Jesse because I was thinking, was his dad 208 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 5: the lawyer for the Getty oil family or was his 209 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 5: dad the financial advisor for the getting I forget which 210 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 5: one was. It turns out he was both. He was 211 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 5: the top lawyer and the heir or the whoever. I 212 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 5: don't even know what it's called, because I don't have 213 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 5: a billion dollar trust, but he was in charge of 214 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 5: all the financial trust for the Getty Oil billions and 215 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 5: billions of dollars. No one in history has been more 216 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 5: connected than ga a young Gavin Newsom. That's how he 217 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 5: got his first job through Willy Brown, who was the 218 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 5: mayor of San Francisco, to he was appointed to the 219 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 5: Board of Supervisors of San Francisco, and then he became 220 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 5: the mayor, and then he went up to the lieutenant 221 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 5: governor and now he's the governor. And of course he 222 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 5: wants to be president. He's always wanted to be president. 223 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 5: But I think it's so rich that Gavin Newsom, who 224 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 5: just the other day was the only really American who 225 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 5: went to the big global warming conference in Brazil, like 226 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 5: all the real countries in the world didn't even go, 227 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 5: but Gavin Newsom went to represent Americaca's trying the Trump administration. 228 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 5: There go, Gavin Newsom is rich and famous because of 229 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 5: oil because of the Getty oil family. But it's not 230 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 5: just Tim quicksidebar And then we'll get back to Gavin. 231 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 5: The previous governor before Gavin Newsom was Jerry Brown. His dad, 232 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 5: Pat Brown, was the governor of California late nineteen fifty 233 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 5: eight to in the nineteen sixties. Pat Brown was actually 234 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 5: pretty good governor. That's why we have the UC system 235 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 5: and highways and nuclear power plants and water facilities. Liken 236 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 5: or Pat Brown built a lot. Pat Brown, after he 237 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 5: was governor, went to go work for the military dictatorship 238 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 5: led oil company in Indonesia, and he is the one 239 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 5: who hooked up this Indonesian oil company with all these 240 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 5: oil contracts in California. So the reason Pat Brown, who 241 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 5: is like uber crazy environmentalists, when he was governor in California, 242 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 5: he got rich because of oil too. So the two 243 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 5: most recent governors of California, who are always on this 244 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 5: anti environmentals in crusade, both are just dripping in oil money. 245 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 5: I just thought you would like that story. 246 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: I did like that story a lot. Mike. 247 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 2: This this Getty family tell me about that I keep 248 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 2: hearing about the Getty family, But people outside of California 249 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 2: haven't really heard of these people. 250 00:12:59,120 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: Who are they? 251 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 5: What? Oh, it's yeah, Getty Oil. I mean they don't 252 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 5: fill their name around too much so much anymore, but 253 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 5: I mean they got tons and tons of money and 254 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 5: tons of connections. Gavin News's whole life is about connections 255 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 5: with the machine, the party machine, with the Pelosi's as well. 256 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 5: There's another party machine up in San Francisco. Think about this. 257 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 5: All the national politicians who have come out of California 258 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 5: come out of San Francisco. They don't. The national politicians 259 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 5: don't come out of La They certainly don't come out 260 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 5: of San Diego, where I spend a long time. It's 261 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 5: way more cool and relaxing San Diego. They're all coming 262 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 5: out of this crazy party machine out of San Francisco. 263 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 5: Nancy Pelosi has been the leader of it more recently, 264 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 5: and the Getty's they're all up there in northern California 265 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 5: as well. So it's just money and connections, and it's 266 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 5: about time that the people of America say enough of 267 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 5: San Francisco politicians, like we don't want any more of them, 268 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 5: thank you very much, they're total failures. Now. I think 269 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 5: the good news about San Francisco politicians, if I may, 270 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 5: is they're just not ready for prime time because they 271 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 5: never took the reps. We see it with Kamala She's 272 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 5: kind of worked her way up the ranks of California 273 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 5: and then they put her on this national platform and 274 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 5: we're like, oh, wow, you're not capable of doing anything. Actually, 275 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 5: And I think Gavin Newsom's iOS and he's obviously more 276 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 5: capable than Kamala Harris, but he's still it's easy if 277 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 5: you're a Democrat and you work up the ranks in 278 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 5: the machine of San Francisco, like, that's easy. It's that's 279 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 5: small ball. That's that's soft pitch, softball, man like you, 280 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 5: Gavin Newsom is playing like rec league softball in town, 281 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 5: and that is that's that's politics in California if you're 282 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 5: a Democrat. And then they put him in the major 283 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 5: leagues one day, and he goes in thinking he's like 284 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 5: tough stuff, like oh I got this, I'm hitting dangers, 285 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 5: no problem. And then he goes into the major leagues 286 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 5: and gets asked real questions and has to have real 287 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 5: accountability head to him in a real debate and he 288 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 5: looks like a total fool, and we got a little 289 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 5: hinto that. It was like a couple years ago. I 290 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 5: remebe he did that debate with DeSantis and he got 291 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 5: totally smoked, And that's what it's going to be like 292 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 5: when he was for presidents. So I hope that the 293 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 5: American people pretty quickly see that Gavin Newsom is gonna 294 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 5: be pretty out of his league when he gets into 295 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 5: the national scene. 296 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 2: Mike, how many of his scandals? Because he's had scandals. 297 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: Of course, he's a sleeve ball, he's a politician anyway. 298 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 2: I mean, he's had affairs, he had all that COVID, 299 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: French laundry stuff. He's had scandals, there's no question. But 300 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: do they stain him nationally? I know Californians are aware 301 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: of them, certainly California Republicans are. But when he kicks 302 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: off this run for president, what follows with him? 303 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's such a good question. I became really disillusioned 304 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 5: with California politics and one of the reasons we moved 305 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 5: after COVID. COVID was horrific in every way in California. 306 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. 307 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 5: And you mentioned the French laundry, right, not only the 308 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 5: French laundry, as he was shutting down schools across the 309 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 5: entire country, forcing everyone to wear masks. His kids were 310 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 5: going to a private school that wasn't shut down. Okay, 311 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 5: so it's like, what are we doing here? He was recalled, right, 312 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 5: we did a recall effort, big, get the you know, 313 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 5: you gotta say the thing to get him to recall. 314 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 5: But then the people overwhelmingly voted to keep them. You're 315 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 5: just like, oh my gosh, Like it was like hopeless. 316 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 5: And that's just the way it is in California's been 317 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 5: that way since nineteen ninety four. We can explain why 318 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 5: if you want, if you want to ask that later. 319 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 5: But I was thinking, man, is this gonna work? Like, 320 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 5: will the people of Iowa vote for this? Well? The 321 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 5: people will Democrats in Wisconsin vote for this guy? And 322 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 5: maybe it's not the COVID stuff that sticks. Unfortunately, you 323 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 5: and I agree that it definitely should. Like you should 324 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 5: be disqualifying and they should be run out of like embarrassed, 325 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 5: constantly mocked and ridiculed and and and worse. 326 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 3: Uh. 327 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 5: I just think it's the result of everything in California, 328 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 5: just everything the homelessness, the incoming equality. I mean, it's 329 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 5: just a it's a bad place. There's total failure, the 330 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 5: open drug debts, the crime is out of control. I mean, 331 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 5: this is like where George Soros has his das like 332 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 5: crazy across California. I mean, like you name the issue. 333 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 5: We just recently it was the story about U see 334 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 5: San Diego and how you see San Diego, which is 335 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 5: one of the big UC schools, one of the big 336 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 5: impressive schools. They have so many kids in this school, 337 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 5: this college that are in remedial math all the way 338 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 5: down to first grade level remedial math first grade, don't 339 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 5: even know what a fraction is, and they're in the 340 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 5: UC San Diego like one of the top U see schools. 341 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 5: It's like Berkeley, UCLA, U See San Diegoo is the 342 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 5: Big three. They don't even know fractions and they're in 343 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 5: U see San Diego, which is a total failure of 344 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 5: not only the UC system, but also the K through 345 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 5: twelve system. We can look at the amount of illegal 346 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 5: aliens that are in California. Twenty five percent of all 347 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 5: the illegal aliens in the country are in California, and 348 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 5: we see the consequences of that. So there's very little 349 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 5: that the Gavenuez are can point to other than Silicon Valley. 350 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 5: It's the only reason why California is still somewhat afloat 351 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 5: is because of all the money that comes out of 352 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 5: you know, where he's from, with all the connections and 353 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 5: the money of Silic A Valley. But and that's got 354 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 5: to dry up eventually, and there's nothing else that he 355 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 5: can point to other than that. I don't I hope 356 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 5: the rest of the country won't be dazzled by the 357 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 5: money and his slickness out of Sanford Cisco, and instead 358 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 5: we'll see the reality of what he's done to the state. 359 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 2: Mike, before you go tell me about the politics by 360 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: Faith podcast. I mean, I am well aware of it, 361 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 2: obviously I'm a fan, But tell everyone else. 362 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 5: I appreciate it. Bro, thank you very much. We take 363 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 5: news of the day, we run it through a biblical 364 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 5: filter to try to make sense of it and what's happening. 365 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 5: It started off with years ago we were in a 366 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 5: time of a lot of anxiety. So it's like, hey man, 367 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 5: it's okay, there's nothing new under the sun. We can 368 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 5: get through this and hopefully everyone could be like, take 369 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 5: a breath and move forward with confidence. But now I 370 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 5: feel pretty good about things politically. These things are happening 371 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 5: a little better, but we still look at everything through 372 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 5: the biblical context to try to make sense of what's happening. 373 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 5: If I could throw one for Gavin Newsom, Isaiah tend says, 374 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 5: woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees and turn aside 375 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 5: the needy from justice and rob the poor of my 376 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 5: people of their right. There's no state that has more poverty. 377 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 5: There's no state that has more inequality. There's no state 378 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 5: that has worse education results. There's no state that has 379 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 5: more taxation. If Gavin Newsom wants to run in a 380 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 5: nation that the number one topic right now is affordability. 381 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 5: That's why Zorn won in New York City. He was 382 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 5: an out Zorn as an outsider so he could come 383 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 5: in to fix it. Gavin Newsen' is the ultimate insider. 384 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 5: He's been there forever. What has he done to fix this? 385 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 5: What has he done to fix affordability? Nothing? He's done 386 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 5: in horrible things for this state, for California. He has 387 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 5: decreed many iniquitous decrees. Woe to him, and I hope 388 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 5: that people of America make him realize that soon. 389 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: I hope so too. Mike, Thank you, brother. Come back. 390 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Ann Coulter next. I love chips. 391 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 2: I'm a chip man. Everybody knows that. That's well, that's 392 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 2: what I dig on is chips. And when I walk 393 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 2: into gas station now I actually can walk past the 394 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 2: chip aisle. And I never used to walk past the 395 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 2: chip aisle. Why because I have massive chips waiting for 396 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 2: me at home. When I first heard about massive chips, 397 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 2: I was told that they're healthy because they only have 398 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 2: three ingredients. Right, there's no seed oils. It's tallow and 399 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 2: salt and corn. You know what I heard when someone 400 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 2: said healthy, disgusting. No potato chips with three ingredients are 401 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 2: everything for me now because Vandy Crisps figured out how 402 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 2: to do them right. That's why you need to go 403 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 2: try a bag. In fact, I would try every flavor 404 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 2: they had. The smoke houses, like their barbecue, that's really 405 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 2: my jam. 406 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: I like the plain ones. 407 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 2: My son freaks out over the ones that tastes like 408 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 2: Italian dressing. 409 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: The freaking glorious. 410 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 2: Go get some Vandy Crisps at Vandycrisps dot com. Slash 411 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 2: Jesse TV freaking fantastic. 412 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 4: I think there's a California derangement syndrome, and he's part 413 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 4: of it. I mean, I think people are obsessed with 414 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 4: focusing on what's wrong with the state and not what's 415 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 4: right with the state. I mean, you have more scientists, engineers, 416 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 4: more researchers, more Nobel laureates in the state than any 417 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 4: other state in the nation. We're the fourth largest economy 418 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 4: in the world four point one trillion dollars, with the 419 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 4: finest system of higher education that addresses the issue of 420 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 4: equity better than any other public education system in the world. 421 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 4: We dominate in every category. Name it where the biggest 422 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 4: manufacturing state, the biggest farming state, ranchers and hunting jobs, 423 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 4: which is interesting. We dominate in AI and quantum and 424 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 4: fusion in every key category. The quality of life here consistently. 425 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 4: And you look at the top ten cities in the 426 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 4: United States of American consistently, the top five are identified 427 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 4: in the state of California. And we invent the future. 428 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 4: It happens here first, where America has come in at traction. 429 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: Well, it sounds wonderful there it used to be. I 430 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 2: guess joining me now, my friend, the wonderful and culture 431 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 2: you really really need to be reading her substack and 432 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: culture dot substack dot com. And why is everybody leave 433 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 2: in California because it is well, it was paradise at 434 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 2: one point in time. 435 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 8: Yes, it's funny. Pretty much everything he mentioned there makes 436 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 8: it sound oh fantastic. It's something he has he or really, 437 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 8: I suppose any government has nothing to do with. It's 438 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 8: also by far the largest state. Of course, it has 439 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 8: the most, the most nobel laureates. It has an extensive 440 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,479 Speaker 8: university system. They have to go someplace. That doesn't mean 441 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 8: the students know how to read, but they have the 442 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 8: most people. And if you have the most people, you're 443 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:35,479 Speaker 8: gonna have the most of all of those things. How 444 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 8: about comparing it, you know, population to population point one 445 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 8: point two. Yeah, the weather's great, the mountains are beautiful, 446 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 8: the beaches are great. That's that wasn't the governor's doing. 447 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 2: And you know, I know we're talking about NUSOM, but 448 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 2: it occurs to me that they do this to all 449 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 2: the most beautiful places. Oregon is maybe the most beautiful 450 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 2: state the country. These dirty comedy savages have ruined it Washington. 451 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 2: Same thing they do, the say they have Connecticut. People 452 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 2: don't know how beautiful Connecticut is. Whatever is beautiful, They're 453 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,239 Speaker 2: like locusts. They come and just descend on it. 454 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 8: Why yes, well, because it is beautiful, I think. I 455 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 8: think the question is more how all of these beautiful 456 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 8: places were built by conservatives, by Rockefeller, Carnegie, by oil barns. 457 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 8: And I think we're finding out a little bit more 458 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 8: than we have before. Any institution will be overtaken with 459 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 8: leftists if given enough time. I mean consider a Ford Foundation, 460 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 8: Carnegie Foundation. And we got a good picture of how 461 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 8: so many of these institutions are taken over all the 462 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 8: Ivy League schools actually, I think all except mine Cornell 463 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 8: were founded as Christian institutions Dartmouth specifically to civilize the 464 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 8: Indians into Christianity and excellent mission. Add but liberals are 465 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 8: sneaky and their idea is to worm their way into 466 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 8: these to these organizations. We also got a little view 467 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 8: into how they have so much money to be doing 468 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 8: things like what Antifa is doing with the US AID expose. 469 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, taxpayers are paying for a lot of 470 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 8: left wing agitating and nonsense. 471 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: Crime. Here was Kevin Newsome talking about crime. 472 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 7: See what's happening there. We do see businesses moving out 473 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 7: for various reasons, but some of them saying they're concerned 474 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 7: about the crime in the area. When you see that 475 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 7: happening to your beloved city, what goes through your mind? 476 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 7: And do you think something's going wrong there? 477 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 4: I think they're struggling to recover from the pandemic. They're 478 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 4: struggling to come back. 479 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,959 Speaker 9: They're struggling with the macroeconomic shifts, particularly as it relates 480 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 9: to telework, as it relates to what's the future of 481 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 9: a downtown. Is it's stacking of offices or stacking of people, 482 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 9: and they're in the process of rezoning, in rebirth and reimagination. 483 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: By the way, I've seen that in sanman scoop for decades. Uh. 484 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: From one the hand thing really is it is? It 485 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: is odd. I know everybody talks about it too. 486 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 2: And do people actually care that much about crime? I 487 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 2: mean they say they do, but it's still fifty to 488 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 2: fifty country Democrats are up in every generic ballot and 489 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 2: they're the open jail party. 490 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 1: Do people actually care about it? 491 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 8: Yes, I'm not sure Republicans run on it quite enough. 492 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 8: And also, I mean, the crime is worse in very 493 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 8: small pockets places that are already run by very very 494 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 8: left wing, very left wing mayors, das and so on 495 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 8: and so forth. So I guess it's a little hard 496 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 8: to see in some of the election results. I think 497 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,239 Speaker 8: it helps Trump quite a bit. But you did, Oh 498 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 8: my gosh, that answer. I want to I want to 499 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 8: shoot them for this. This This is a big campaign 500 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 8: of the New York Times, and I guess all Democrats 501 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,719 Speaker 8: to blame the Bakana all of violence that erupted and 502 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 8: really hasn't gone down with the BLM riots in twenty twenty. 503 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 8: Luckily for them, that was also the same year we 504 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 8: had the pandemic. But as I've written about endlessly, you 505 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 8: can go back as I have and look at all 506 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 8: of the headlines and newspapers in the first in the 507 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 8: first month of the pandemic, right up until June first, 508 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 8: the day after the methamphetamine attic died in Minneapolis, and 509 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 8: the big news was crime was going down, all over headlines, 510 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 8: Washington Post, New York Times, this is so great crime 511 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 8: at least, you know, making everybody stay home has whipped 512 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 8: the crime problem headline after headline after headline. And then, weirdly, 513 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 8: it was right after George Floyd died that suddenly the 514 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 8: crime rate went up higher than it has ever gone 515 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 8: up in this country history. The second, the second biggest jump, 516 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 8: I think it was thirty percent. It went up. Second 517 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 8: biggest jump was in nineteen sixty eight, and I think 518 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 8: it went up by around twelve percent that time, a 519 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 8: gigantic jump in horrible violent crimes. This was entirely the 520 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 8: liberals doing. They were the ones egging on black Black 521 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 8: Lives matter. It was leftist DA's not only not punishing, 522 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 8: not putting away these terrorists Antifa murdering people, just monstrous violence, 523 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 8: but rewarding them if a cop was a little too 524 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 8: rough with them. The liberal mayors of these towns would say, 525 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 8: oh my gosh, you poor little Antifa here, Let's give 526 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 8: you a gigantic, multi million dollar award paid for by 527 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 8: the taxpayers, and then Antifa has more money to keep 528 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 8: destroying things. That's what has caused the crime. The George 529 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 8: Soros das, of course, they were the ones doing this. 530 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 8: It wasn't the pandemic. Besides the fact that we had 531 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 8: six weeks of crime absolutely going down all over the country. 532 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 8: Because of the pandemic, crime is moinning in the opposite direction. 533 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 8: But weirdly, crime didn't go up in the entire rest 534 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 8: of the world for the rest of the pandemic. It 535 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 8: was just in this country where BLM struck and struck 536 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 8: really hard. 537 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 2: And how much should we worry about Gavin Newsom in 538 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. I mean, I have such disdain for 539 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 2: him and everything he stands for anyway, and I find 540 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 2: him creepy and weird. But I'm never going to vote 541 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 2: for the Democrat. I'm not their target audience. Is he 542 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 2: somebody we should fear? 543 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 5: I think so. 544 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 8: I mean he's polling. He's the one in recent polls, 545 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 8: anyone anybody who's getting the majority of the Democratic vote, 546 00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 8: And I think we should worry, not because of Newsom. 547 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 8: I'm with you. I think he seems very slick and oily. 548 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 8: But I don't know Democrats don't mind that. I think 549 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 8: it's just that it will have been I don't know, 550 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 8: four years of Trump, and the country does tend to 551 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 8: go back and forth. People remember, remember the things they 552 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 8: don't like about the guy in power, and they can 553 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 8: always project, you know, sunshine and puppies on the guy 554 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 8: who hasn't held office yet. I find it hard to 555 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 8: believe in my rational brain that someone who has done 556 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 8: to California what Governor Newsom has done to California, that 557 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 8: he could he could achieve higher office. But I don't 558 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 8: know what the country did elect Joe Biden sort. 559 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: Of, I guess kind of. 560 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 2: And you're the best come back, all right, John Phillips lives. 561 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: Under got Newsom. I mean, I mean it lives in. 562 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 2: California and whatever, we're gonna talk to John Phillips thanxt. 563 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 10: It's clear that this governor has a vision for our country. 564 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 10: He has knowledge of our country and our state, the 565 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 10: state of California, the fourth largest economy in the world. 566 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 10: Gavin manages that way. That was with great dignity. He 567 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 10: has strategic thinking about how to get things done, and 568 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 10: that is what has brought us together here. When this 569 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 10: opportunity occurred. Gavin had a plan. He's a man with 570 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 10: a plan, and that's what brings us here today. 571 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 2: It's hard watching Grandma Vodka in these later years still 572 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 2: attempt to be functional. But either way, joining me now, 573 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 2: John Phillips, host of the Wonderful John Phillips Show. John, 574 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,479 Speaker 2: let's start actually with those two. How far back did 575 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 2: those two go? 576 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 6: They go back a long time, but they're not as 577 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 6: close as people think that they are necessarily. Nancy Pelosi 578 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 6: came from Leo McCarthy, who was the Speaker of the 579 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 6: California Assembly, the lieutenant governor, and Gavin Newsom came from 580 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 6: Willie Brown. So while they both come from San Francisco politics, 581 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 6: they were mentored and socialized into that world by different people. 582 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 6: And so I know a lot of people say, well, 583 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 6: they're related by marriage. Well, yeah, that's kind of true. 584 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 6: One of Gavin's relatives married one of her husband's relatives, 585 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 6: but they're not as close as people necessarily think. The 586 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 6: point that she made there, though, is not go ahead, no, 587 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 6: go ahead, go ahead no. The point that she made 588 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 6: is not entirely accurate. She was referencing Prop fifty, which 589 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 6: was California and you're redrawing the district lines and said 590 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 6: that Gavin Newsom was a man with a plan and 591 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 6: that couldn't be further from the truth. He got Nancy 592 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 6: Pelosi and the Congressional Democrats to sign on to him 593 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 6: going out and threatening to do something like this as 594 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 6: a bluff, and then he decided that he would turn 595 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 6: it into an opportunity to go on a nationwide tour 596 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 6: going on all these podcasts where he engaged in all 597 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 6: of this bar talk where he talked about if Texas 598 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 6: does this, this is what we're going to do, so 599 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 6: back down now, and he got so deep into it 600 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 6: that they were boxed into a corner where they had 601 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 6: to move forward with Proposition fifty. She didn't want to 602 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 6: do it. The Democrats in Congress didn't want to do it. 603 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 6: He forced them into it by running around the country 604 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 6: and running his mouth. 605 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 2: Okay, so Prop fifty explain to people what it is 606 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 2: and why wouldn't Nancy Pelosi want it? 607 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 6: Well, that's a heavily jerrymannered map for California's congressional districts 608 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 6: that would benefit Democrats and probably draw out five Republicans. 609 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,719 Speaker 6: They didn't want to do it because these people are 610 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 6: old and lazy. And if you're old and lazy and 611 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 6: you represented a congressional district for thirty years, are you 612 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 6: really want to get in your car and drive four 613 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 6: hours to the outskirts of California to meet your new 614 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 6: constituents and learn new issues and get on different committees 615 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 6: and do all the things that they're now going to 616 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 6: have to do. With all of their new districts. They 617 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 6: didn't want to do that. What they wanted to do 618 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 6: is they wanted to put pressure on Texas to back down, 619 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 6: so there wouldn't be Republican gains in Texas, but they 620 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 6: wouldn't have to work any harder. 621 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 3: In California. 622 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 6: Galvin Newsom, by doing what he did, forced their hand. 623 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 2: So you say they kind of come from different trees, 624 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 2: It sounds like in California, are they enemies, frenemies? 625 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: What are they? 626 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 3: Then? 627 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 6: I don't necessarily know if i'd call them frenemies. Gavin 628 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 6: Knewsim and Kamala Harris are frenemies because they're They're of 629 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 6: the same age, and they came up around the same time, 630 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 6: and in theory they could pump into each other when 631 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 6: they would be competing for the same offices. Now they 632 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,879 Speaker 6: made it a point to run for different offices, so 633 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 6: that never happened. Now they may run against each other 634 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 6: for president. You're already starting to see that infighting going on. 635 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 6: But Nancy was already long established by the time that 636 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 6: Gavin came around. She never regarded him as a threat. 637 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 6: She regarded him as someone who could help her out 638 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 6: and do things for her. But she never regarded him 639 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 6: as someone who could was capable of taking her job 640 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 6: or preventing her from doing whatever it is that she 641 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 6: wanted to do. 642 00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,919 Speaker 1: Kamawa Dome if you will her in news you. 643 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 2: Mentioned them potentially running against each other in twenty twenty eight. 644 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 2: I have a theory, it's purely a theory that she's 645 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 2: going to skip this cycle because she's so tainted in 646 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,240 Speaker 2: the minds of Democrat donors. 647 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be. 648 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,760 Speaker 2: Very difficult for her to raise large amounts of money. 649 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 2: But it's just a theory. I don't know that. 650 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 6: What say you, Well, the cold war between those two 651 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 6: has gone hot in certain ways. First of all, in 652 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 6: her book and I read this passage, so since I 653 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 6: saw the numbers and none of you else, nobody else did. 654 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 6: She talked about how when Joe dropped out of the 655 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 6: race and Obama and Pelosi and others wanted an open 656 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 6: primary that would have benefited a candidate like Gavin, she 657 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 6: prevented that from happening by securing endorsements almost immediately, including 658 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 6: Joe Biden's. She said in the book that she called 659 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 6: Gavin Newsom to tell him about this, and that he 660 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,959 Speaker 6: sent her to voicemail and never return the phone call. 661 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 6: And it's not even just that that happened, it's that 662 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 6: it happened and she wanted to whack him about it, 663 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,479 Speaker 6: so she put that passage in the book. You don't 664 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 6: have to put that in the book. She chose to 665 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,879 Speaker 6: put that in the book. And then here in California 666 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 6: right now, we have a huge scandal going on that 667 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 6: involves the former chief of staff for Gavin Newsom and others, 668 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 6: and many of them have already pled guilty. So we 669 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 6: know that people are going to go to jail and 670 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 6: they are going to be convicted over this, although the 671 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 6: chief of staff has not done that yet. She's said 672 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,800 Speaker 6: that she is innocent and she's going to fight these charges. 673 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 6: But when that story broke, one of the first people 674 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 6: to spike the football on Gavin Newsom is a guy 675 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 6: by the name of Gil Duran, who is a former 676 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 6: aide to Kamala Harris. So the Harris people are enjoying 677 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 6: the scandal because the scandal doesn't touch them. It's a 678 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 6: scandal that's associated with Gavin and Javier and Bessera, the 679 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 6: former Secretary Health and Human Services, and others. But if 680 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 6: they had such a great relationship. You probably wouldn't have 681 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:10,839 Speaker 6: your people out there spiking the football and celebrating doing 682 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 6: the end zone dance when your buddy is dealing with 683 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 6: the scandal. 684 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 2: How scandalous is Newsom's past as it pertains to the 685 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 2: United States of America running for president. I mean, I 686 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,359 Speaker 2: know in California there are a million micro scandals of his. 687 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 2: What's going to stain him when he tries to sell 688 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 2: himself in Wisconsin in a few years. 689 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 6: Well, you have his record which is abysmal, So I 690 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 6: would start with that. In terms of scandal in California, 691 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 6: if you're a Democrat in good standing, it's hard to 692 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 6: really get caught in a scandal unless the FEDS catch you. 693 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 3: Because, don't forget he. 694 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 6: Appointed the last attorney general, he appointed Rob Bonta to 695 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 6: that office. Robbonta is not a guy who's going to 696 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 6: go after Gavin Newsom or any of his misdeeds. That's 697 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 6: a political ally of his and he's. 698 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,280 Speaker 3: Not going to bite the hand that feeds him. 699 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 6: So for the most part, Gavin, if he was doing 700 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,240 Speaker 6: something illegal, would get a pass at the local level. 701 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,479 Speaker 6: Right now, the scandal involving his chief of staff could 702 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 6: theoretically hurt him because the chief of staff is someone 703 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 6: who's now looking it up to twenty years in prison. 704 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 6: And she is alleged to have stolen money from a 705 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,320 Speaker 6: campaign account. She is alleged to have influenced the position 706 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 6: of the state in a lawsuit that involved one of 707 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 6: her former clients. And she is someone who is not 708 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 6: well liked in Sacramento. She's a big, fat woman who 709 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 6: apparently has a drinking problem and is known to get 710 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,720 Speaker 6: all juiced up on the sauce at night and start 711 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,840 Speaker 6: dialing the phone and threatening everyone on behalf of the governor. 712 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 6: I have talked to any number of people who have 713 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 6: received these late night phone calls from this woman, where 714 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 6: she just tells you how it's going to be, and 715 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 6: if you don't do. 716 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 3: What she says, you're dead. 717 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 6: To Gavin Newsom, well, who knows what she has done 718 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 6: or said in Gavin Newsom's name, Who knows if he 719 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 6: is aware. 720 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 3: Of any of this or all of this. 721 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 6: It looks like it's a good cop bad cop thing 722 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 6: where she's the enforcer and then he's the good cop. 723 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 6: But when she was initially contacted by the FBI about 724 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 6: her alleged wrongdoing, her claim was that they told her 725 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 6: that she was not the target of the investigation, that 726 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 6: Gavin Newsom was the target of the investigation, and they 727 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 6: thought she might have useful information. And what's particularly interesting 728 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,760 Speaker 6: about this is this didn't happen in the Trump DOJ. 729 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 6: This happened in the Biden Harris DOJ. That's when this 730 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 6: investigation started. So whatever it was that they were looking into, 731 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 6: it started back when Grampy Joe and Kamala were running 732 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,240 Speaker 6: the show. 733 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 2: Now that is an interesting ricul. All right, switching gears 734 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 2: a little bit to here. 735 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: Money. Everyone knows that. 736 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 2: I mean, it takes two billion dollars now to run 737 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 2: for freaking President's amazing the amount of money it takes. 738 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 2: And obviously Gavin Newsom can raise money. You don't get 739 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 2: to be California governor unless you can raise large amounts 740 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 2: of it. 741 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: Any raised two billion dollars. 742 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he'll be able to raise the money if 743 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 6: he's the nominee. Any Democratic candidate absent Grampy Joe after 744 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,280 Speaker 6: that first debate is going to have no problem raising 745 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,919 Speaker 6: money in a primary. He's going to have access to 746 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 6: all of the dollars in Silicon Valley, all of the 747 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,280 Speaker 6: dollars in Hollywood, all of the dollars from the public 748 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 6: employee unions who he's given very generous contracts to over 749 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 6: the years. I don't think that's going to be a 750 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 6: problem for him. The problem for him is that the 751 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 6: Democratic Party is going to have to ask itself after 752 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 6: they nominated one California Liberal to be their nominee in 753 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 6: twenty twenty four, they. 754 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 3: Want to do that again. 755 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 6: Are you prepared to nominate someone who has the same 756 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,760 Speaker 6: political profile a second time in a row. Because usually 757 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,840 Speaker 6: what the parties try to do is they try to 758 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 6: move in a different direction. You have someone that loses 759 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,840 Speaker 6: for reasons X, Y and z. Okay, let's try to 760 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 6: fix that and find someone who doesn't have those problems 761 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 6: and has strengths that can make up for whatever it 762 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 6: was that we fell short on the last time. If 763 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 6: you're going with Gavin Newsom, you're saying, well, the reason 764 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 6: that Kamala lost was she had a very abbreviated campaign. 765 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 6: So let's just go ahead and double and triple down 766 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,399 Speaker 6: on all of that on California excess and see if 767 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 6: that works a second time. If I am the Democratic Party, 768 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 6: I look at that as being a suicidal position. 769 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 2: But that assigns some amount of logic to the Democratic 770 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 2: voter right, because the truth is it's not going to 771 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 2: come from the top this time. You've got to win 772 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 2: voters in South Carolina and all these other states that 773 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,800 Speaker 2: we're asking them to be logical, and if they were logical, 774 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:07,880 Speaker 2: they wouldn't be Democrats. 775 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 6: And I think that Gavin's play is that he's going 776 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 6: to try to say that he's the bridge within the 777 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 6: party because you have essentially one wing of partisan Democrats 778 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:24,359 Speaker 6: and one wing of the DSA AOC types, and while 779 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 6: we don't see much difference between them within those circles. 780 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 3: They do. 781 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,800 Speaker 6: And I think Gavin's move is going to be to say, look, 782 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 6: I can bring the party together for a mansion to 783 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 6: Mom Donnie, and I'm someone. 784 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 3: That everyone can live with. 785 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 6: I'm not going to give you one hundred percent of 786 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 6: what you want, but I'll give you enough of what. 787 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 3: You want to make you happy. 788 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,439 Speaker 6: And when you look at who his competitors are likely 789 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 6: to be, you know he's got AOC on one side, 790 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,359 Speaker 6: where if you're a partisan Democrat and you look at 791 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 6: the Socialists as someone you can't trust, then you're going 792 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 6: to have a problem with that Jewish Democrats, for example, 793 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 6: that look at the position that the DSA types have 794 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,879 Speaker 6: on Israel as being irreconcilable. And then on the other side, 795 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,800 Speaker 6: you're going to have the Josh Shapiros of the world, 796 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 6: where certain segments of that party just will not vote 797 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 6: for a Jewish candidate under any circumstances. And Gavin doesn't 798 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 6: have any of those red flags on either side. And 799 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 6: I think that he believes that he can be the bridge. 800 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 1: John. 801 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 2: I am sure. We'll be discussing this again. Thank you, 802 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 2: my brother. We have so much more hang on. It's 803 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 2: never too early to look ahead. Obviously, we have to 804 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 2: stay focused on things like local elections and midterms and 805 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 2: stuff like that, like we talked about in the opening. 806 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:59,320 Speaker 2: But one looking ahead is fun. Two they're already looking ahead, 807 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 2: already making plans. Gavin Newsom has been making plans to 808 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 2: run for president since he came out of the womb. 809 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 2: He's going to run, He's going to raise a ton 810 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 2: of money. We don't know, neither of us that we 811 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,400 Speaker 2: don't know where the country's going to be mentally politically 812 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight. It's not at all outside of 813 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 2: the realm of possibility that I don't even want to 814 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,759 Speaker 2: say it, that he wins. 815 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: It's not it can happen. 816 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,799 Speaker 2: There's a lot of day, a lot of ground to 817 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 2: cover between now and then, but we'll stay on it. 818 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:34,759 Speaker 1: See you again.
