WEBVTT
0
00:00:01.860 --> 00:00:03.940
Hundreds of thousands of children
1
00:00:04.099 --> 00:00:05.760
that you were responsible for
2
00:00:05.929 --> 00:00:06.880
are still
3
00:00:07.179 --> 00:00:08.220
missing today.
4
00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:10.170
The math doesn't add up to what he's talking about.
5
00:00:10.340 --> 00:00:11.699
He's gonna have to take it out of somewhere,
6
00:00:11.819 --> 00:00:12.939
it will come out of our schools.
7
00:00:13.050 --> 00:00:14.020
Do you know what it's coming from?
8
00:00:14.340 --> 00:00:16.059
cancelling high-speed rail,
9
00:00:16.270 --> 00:00:18.129
which he's promised to continue with.
10
00:00:18.340 --> 00:00:20.700
The quickest way to get more money in people's
11
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:23.450
pockets is for the government to take less out.
12
00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:24.500
That's what I'm gonna be.
13
00:00:24.666 --> 00:00:26.517
Doing isn't it the definition of insanity?
14
00:00:26.527 --> 00:00:29.107
You do the same thing over and over again expecting different results.
15
00:00:29.416 --> 00:00:31.716
You're using Trump's voting Democrat.
16
00:00:32.137 --> 00:00:34.957
California used to be the place people ran to.
17
00:00:35.216 --> 00:00:36.637
Now it's the place that they run
18
00:00:37.137 --> 00:00:37.457
from.
19
00:00:37.567 --> 00:00:39.416
It has the highest poverty rate in the country,
20
00:00:39.457 --> 00:00:40.457
the highest unemployment,
21
00:00:40.536 --> 00:00:41.356
a budget
22
00:00:41.696 --> 00:00:44.477
that's doubled in 10 years while the population
23
00:00:44.856 --> 00:00:45.497
shrank.
24
00:00:45.736 --> 00:00:47.617
A high-speed rail that was sold to.
25
00:00:47.734 --> 00:00:49.243
Voters at $30 billion
26
00:00:49.574 --> 00:00:51.714
has now burned through $15 billion
27
00:00:51.894 --> 00:00:56.613
and hasn't laid a single mile of track and that's the part you already know.
28
00:00:57.094 --> 00:00:59.734
Today my guest is gonna tell you what's underneath it
29
00:01:00.054 --> 00:01:01.973
the nonprofits that take your tax dollars
30
00:01:01.973 --> 00:01:04.253
and quietly turn them into political machines,
31
00:01:04.533 --> 00:01:07.293
the unions that decide whether your kids' school is open
32
00:01:07.293 --> 00:01:09.513
or whether or not you're allowed to build your home,
33
00:01:10.013 --> 00:01:10.734
the handful.
34
00:01:10.930 --> 00:01:14.291
Developers charging up to a million dollars a unit
35
00:01:14.530 --> 00:01:15.810
for homeless housing
36
00:01:15.971 --> 00:01:17.981
while people sleep outside on the sidewalk,
37
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:19.310
and there's a reason
38
00:01:19.570 --> 00:01:22.310
nobody in Sacramento wants you looking at this,
39
00:01:22.490 --> 00:01:24.170
and by the end of this episode,
40
00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:24.990
you're gonna know
41
00:01:25.530 --> 00:01:25.750
exactly
42
00:01:25.890 --> 00:01:26.710
what it is.
43
00:01:27.051 --> 00:01:28.710
Steve Hilton is running for governor
44
00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:29.670
and his opponent
45
00:01:29.971 --> 00:01:31.041
is Xavier Becerra,
46
00:01:31.091 --> 00:01:32.611
and if you think Newsom was bad,
47
00:01:32.810 --> 00:01:33.771
Becerra.
48
00:01:34.389 --> 00:01:35.650
is way worse.
49
00:01:35.910 --> 00:01:36.410
This man
50
00:01:36.750 --> 00:01:41.110
is an existential threat to California that makes Gavin look like a dream.
51
00:01:41.389 --> 00:01:43.239
So here's the question we're asking today.
52
00:01:43.250 --> 00:01:45.050
Is this the last chance
53
00:01:45.269 --> 00:01:46.839
to save California?
54
00:01:47.150 --> 00:01:48.730
And if a state this big goes under,
55
00:01:49.830 --> 00:01:51.370
does the rest of the country
56
00:01:51.750 --> 00:01:52.370
follow?
57
00:01:52.940 --> 00:01:54.040
What happens
58
00:01:54.260 --> 00:01:56.610
if Steve Hilton loses in November?
59
00:01:56.860 --> 00:01:57.209
Well,
60
00:01:57.459 --> 00:01:58.300
he's got a plan.
61
00:01:58.620 --> 00:02:00.660
He's naming names and we're about to get into it.
62
00:02:00.739 --> 00:02:01.160
So guys,
63
00:02:01.220 --> 00:02:02.220
if you're liking the show,
64
00:02:02.379 --> 00:02:02.680
please
65
00:02:03.300 --> 00:02:03.720
consider
66
00:02:03.889 --> 00:02:04.419
liking,
67
00:02:04.620 --> 00:02:05.220
sharing,
68
00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:06.739
commenting and subscribing.
69
00:02:06.779 --> 00:02:08.080
It matters more than you think.
70
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:11.490
Keeping it real,
71
00:02:11.770 --> 00:02:12.149
keep it,
72
00:02:12.270 --> 00:02:12.929
keeping it real
73
00:02:13.110 --> 00:02:14.149
with Jillian Michaels.
74
00:02:14.229 --> 00:02:14.860
How are you?
75
00:02:14.990 --> 00:02:15.669
I'm great,
76
00:02:15.789 --> 00:02:16.589
I'm fired up,
77
00:02:16.600 --> 00:02:17.149
honestly.
78
00:02:17.350 --> 00:02:19.130
I'm on the road the whole time,
79
00:02:19.509 --> 00:02:19.820
uh,
80
00:02:19.830 --> 00:02:20.740
travelling the state,
81
00:02:20.869 --> 00:02:21.929
everywhere I go,
82
00:02:22.309 --> 00:02:23.850
there's this incredible energy.
83
00:02:24.369 --> 00:02:24.380
Yeah,
84
00:02:24.589 --> 00:02:25.020
um,
85
00:02:25.190 --> 00:02:25.740
we're desperate,
86
00:02:25.750 --> 00:02:26.300
boss.
87
00:02:26.559 --> 00:02:27.320
This is the thing,
88
00:02:27.570 --> 00:02:27.589
I,
89
00:02:27.600 --> 00:02:29.229
it's so interesting you use that word.
90
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.419
So the the number one thing I hear from everybody,
91
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:32.880
they come to,
92
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.259
whether they're coming to our events or they like just now stop me in the airport
93
00:02:36.679 --> 00:02:37.479
or wherever,
94
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:38.750
it's very interesting,
95
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:39.880
it's the same words,
96
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:40.399
it's,
97
00:02:40.869 --> 00:02:41.380
it's not
98
00:02:41.600 --> 00:02:43.440
good luck or we're with you or anything,
99
00:02:43.589 --> 00:02:43.929
it's,
100
00:02:44.119 --> 00:02:44.949
you have to win.
101
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:45.399
I know.
102
00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:46.199
That's the,
103
00:02:46.279 --> 00:02:47.139
that's literally
104
00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:48.119
almost word for it,
105
00:02:48.160 --> 00:02:50.289
I'd say 95% of people,
106
00:02:50.750 --> 00:02:51.589
you have to win
107
00:02:52.600 --> 00:02:53.690
why you have to win.
108
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:55.080
Let's start with the stakes.
109
00:02:55.509 --> 00:02:57.250
It's just crazy
110
00:02:57.630 --> 00:02:59.570
to see how people are just at breaking point.
111
00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:02.100
Everything is at breaking point.
112
00:03:02.210 --> 00:03:02.220
Yeah.
113
00:03:02.509 --> 00:03:03.750
You've got financially,
114
00:03:03.990 --> 00:03:04.369
right,
115
00:03:04.509 --> 00:03:06.149
we pay the highest taxes,
116
00:03:06.429 --> 00:03:08.210
the highest costs for everything,
117
00:03:08.429 --> 00:03:09.770
for the worst results.
118
00:03:10.559 --> 00:03:11.169
It's like,
119
00:03:11.259 --> 00:03:13.600
how are you supposed to run a business like this?
120
00:03:13.679 --> 00:03:13.979
Yeah.
121
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:15.419
How are you supposed to
122
00:03:15.660 --> 00:03:16.820
trust your kids
123
00:03:17.110 --> 00:03:19.559
to the public school system in the state that it is?
124
00:03:19.679 --> 00:03:22.960
I've got a great clip for you about that that we're going to get to in just a moment,
125
00:03:23.119 --> 00:03:24.000
so keep going.
126
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:27.399
How can you just just daily life?
127
00:03:27.679 --> 00:03:28.000
I mean,
128
00:03:28.160 --> 00:03:29.320
we're in Los Angeles,
129
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:30.050
you walk,
130
00:03:30.169 --> 00:03:31.699
it's the second city of America,
131
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:33.619
we're in the richest state,
132
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:35.899
in the richest country on earth,
133
00:03:36.399 --> 00:03:37.690
and you go outside.
134
00:03:38.029 --> 00:03:41.089
It's like squalor and filth and trash,
135
00:03:41.190 --> 00:03:42.490
and it stinks,
136
00:03:42.710 --> 00:03:43.190
and you know,
137
00:03:43.289 --> 00:03:44.380
you drive around,
138
00:03:44.389 --> 00:03:44.990
I mean this thing,
139
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.190
if you're not in California,
140
00:03:46.429 --> 00:03:47.429
you don't get this.
141
00:03:47.949 --> 00:03:48.740
The roads,
142
00:03:48.869 --> 00:03:50.449
I mean just to give you one example,
143
00:03:50.830 --> 00:03:52.990
we have the highest gas tax in the country,
144
00:03:53.389 --> 00:03:55.070
the highest vehicle registration,
145
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:55.350
like.
146
00:03:55.779 --> 00:03:57.800
Other states would laugh when you say
147
00:03:58.100 --> 00:03:58.550
it's
148
00:03:58.740 --> 00:04:00.410
$600 800 dollars,
149
00:04:00.580 --> 00:04:03.960
$1200 a year to register your car or your truck,
150
00:04:04.139 --> 00:04:05.259
for some people higher than that,
151
00:04:05.529 --> 00:04:06.289
and the roads,
152
00:04:06.339 --> 00:04:08.199
you bounce around like you're on a,
153
00:04:08.699 --> 00:04:08.889
you know,
154
00:04:08.940 --> 00:04:10.300
in a theme park ride.
155
00:04:10.660 --> 00:04:11.850
It's insane,
156
00:04:12.059 --> 00:04:15.759
like we pay so much and get these worst results anywhere.
157
00:04:16.220 --> 00:04:17.040
You have said
158
00:04:17.660 --> 00:04:22.339
that a big part of the reason our results are so catastrophic.
159
00:04:22.790 --> 00:04:26.089
Is because of NGOs and unions.
160
00:04:26.470 --> 00:04:30.359
The vast majority of people don't know what that means.
161
00:04:30.589 --> 00:04:31.450
And to be fair,
162
00:04:31.510 --> 00:04:32.410
I have a
163
00:04:33.230 --> 00:04:34.200
decent
164
00:04:34.390 --> 00:04:35.209
understanding of it.
165
00:04:35.429 --> 00:04:37.809
I want to start with the NGOs.
166
00:04:38.829 --> 00:04:40.609
How are these guys
167
00:04:41.190 --> 00:04:42.190
running the show,
168
00:04:42.309 --> 00:04:44.109
becoming political machines?
169
00:04:44.260 --> 00:04:45.880
What are they influencing?
170
00:04:46.230 --> 00:04:47.040
And just,
171
00:04:47.190 --> 00:04:47.989
just for the audience,
172
00:04:48.070 --> 00:04:51.589
I have pointed out on the show numerous times that NGOs like CHUL,
173
00:04:51.670 --> 00:04:53.609
which is an immigrants' rights NGO,
174
00:04:53.950 --> 00:04:57.570
they are the reason that Gavin Newsom single-handedly was not recalled,
175
00:04:57.829 --> 00:05:01.029
and he gave them $40 million of California's money.
176
00:05:01.390 --> 00:05:04.519
They were one of the top groups that defended him in the recall.
177
00:05:04.829 --> 00:05:05.549
And then when people went,
178
00:05:05.630 --> 00:05:06.109
Hold on,
179
00:05:06.230 --> 00:05:07.670
are you commingling funds?
180
00:05:07.750 --> 00:05:08.769
We want to audit you.
181
00:05:09.070 --> 00:05:11.869
The Democrats blocked the fricking audit of Churla.
182
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:13.429
So let's dig in here.
183
00:05:13.549 --> 00:05:16.049
What the hell are these organisations,
184
00:05:16.269 --> 00:05:17.480
and what are they up to?
185
00:05:17.790 --> 00:05:18.019
So,
186
00:05:18.230 --> 00:05:19.250
so mainly
187
00:05:19.470 --> 00:05:20.260
people here,
188
00:05:20.589 --> 00:05:20.600
we,
189
00:05:20.619 --> 00:05:20.630
we,
190
00:05:20.779 --> 00:05:22.269
they talk about those as nonprofits,
191
00:05:22.350 --> 00:05:22.589
right?
192
00:05:22.910 --> 00:05:22.920
Yes,
193
00:05:23.100 --> 00:05:23.630
nonprofits.
194
00:05:23.679 --> 00:05:23.880
So,
195
00:05:24.010 --> 00:05:24.570
so you think,
196
00:05:24.750 --> 00:05:25.070
oh,
197
00:05:25.320 --> 00:05:26.149
they're charities,
198
00:05:26.299 --> 00:05:27.850
they do good things for
199
00:05:27.989 --> 00:05:28.790
to help people.
200
00:05:28.869 --> 00:05:29.929
That's why it's so.
201
00:05:30.390 --> 00:05:30.970
Um,
202
00:05:31.350 --> 00:05:34.920
so kind of diabolically smart the way that they've
203
00:05:35.380 --> 00:05:37.170
really used them as an arm
204
00:05:37.589 --> 00:05:39.410
of their political operation and the,
205
00:05:39.549 --> 00:05:40.329
and the,
206
00:05:40.420 --> 00:05:41.929
and the taxpayers funding it,
207
00:05:42.350 --> 00:05:42.809
because
208
00:05:43.149 --> 00:05:45.850
if you say that you're giving taxpayer money
209
00:05:46.149 --> 00:05:46.549
to
210
00:05:46.670 --> 00:05:46.910
the.
211
00:05:47.225 --> 00:05:48.125
Democratic Party,
212
00:05:48.445 --> 00:05:49.845
that sounds really bad,
213
00:05:49.964 --> 00:05:50.285
like
214
00:05:50.445 --> 00:05:51.404
that's not right,
215
00:05:51.565 --> 00:05:52.954
that's a political party,
216
00:05:53.005 --> 00:05:54.984
like that's not how it's supposed to work.
217
00:05:55.244 --> 00:05:55.565
But if you say,
218
00:05:55.635 --> 00:05:57.364
oh we're giving it to a nonprofit,
219
00:05:57.635 --> 00:05:57.845
to,
220
00:05:57.924 --> 00:05:58.605
oh that's fine,
221
00:05:58.684 --> 00:06:00.084
that's good work in the community,
222
00:06:00.125 --> 00:06:00.475
whatever.
223
00:06:00.765 --> 00:06:02.345
So I wanna give you some examples
224
00:06:02.565 --> 00:06:02.984
um
225
00:06:03.084 --> 00:06:03.924
that are real.
226
00:06:04.285 --> 00:06:05.065
What we found,
227
00:06:05.234 --> 00:06:05.684
and these are,
228
00:06:05.725 --> 00:06:06.774
these are just tiny,
229
00:06:06.875 --> 00:06:08.665
this just shows you the pattern,
230
00:06:09.165 --> 00:06:09.464
right,
231
00:06:09.605 --> 00:06:10.084
um,
232
00:06:10.445 --> 00:06:12.704
in California we legalise cannabis.
233
00:06:13.445 --> 00:06:14.445
Proposition 64,
234
00:06:14.524 --> 00:06:15.644
it was a ballot initiative.
235
00:06:16.019 --> 00:06:17.540
And part of the deal was
236
00:06:17.739 --> 00:06:19.040
that we're gonna tax it
237
00:06:19.459 --> 00:06:20.760
and then the tax money
238
00:06:20.940 --> 00:06:23.339
will be spent on substance abuse prevention.
239
00:06:23.609 --> 00:06:24.809
That was part of the story,
240
00:06:24.869 --> 00:06:25.140
like,
241
00:06:25.420 --> 00:06:25.579
yeah,
242
00:06:25.700 --> 00:06:27.480
for people who may not be comfortable with
243
00:06:27.700 --> 00:06:28.619
legalising drugs,
244
00:06:28.660 --> 00:06:29.239
it's OK
245
00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:31.000
cos we're gonna take some of the tax,
246
00:06:31.309 --> 00:06:31.359
we're gonna exactly.
247
00:06:32.739 --> 00:06:34.160
So we tracked that money
248
00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:34.649
and,
249
00:06:34.760 --> 00:06:38.549
and we found that there were this is a 350 million,
250
00:06:38.910 --> 00:06:39.239
right,
251
00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:41.540
went to a nonprofit.
252
00:06:42.049 --> 00:06:42.559
That
253
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:43.200
was,
254
00:06:43.320 --> 00:06:44.220
that had a name
255
00:06:44.640 --> 00:06:46.260
that sounded like it was doing
256
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.299
substance abuse prevention and health stuff.
257
00:06:49.799 --> 00:06:51.470
And then you track it,
258
00:06:51.799 --> 00:06:53.940
and what we found was that that money
259
00:06:54.119 --> 00:06:55.299
was then chopped up
260
00:06:55.559 --> 00:06:56.179
into
261
00:06:56.359 --> 00:06:58.799
500 or so smaller grants
262
00:06:59.119 --> 00:07:00.140
that went to
263
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.019
these little
264
00:07:02.190 --> 00:07:02.549
organisations,
265
00:07:02.760 --> 00:07:03.350
and when you,
266
00:07:03.359 --> 00:07:04.980
like $750,000 here,
267
00:07:05.200 --> 00:07:05.989
a million there,
268
00:07:06.359 --> 00:07:08.820
and then you look at their websites and what they do,
269
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:10.000
what are they doing?
270
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:12.799
Voter registration,
271
00:07:13.239 --> 00:07:14.600
ballot harvesting,
272
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:16.119
community organising,
273
00:07:16.239 --> 00:07:16.640
right.
274
00:07:16.799 --> 00:07:17.470
That was one,
275
00:07:17.760 --> 00:07:18.359
another one.
276
00:07:18.679 --> 00:07:19.320
I won't go on,
277
00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:22.369
this is just to show you the range of what they've been doing.
278
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:22.529
Well,
279
00:07:22.760 --> 00:07:24.959
the examples are exceptionally important because it,
280
00:07:25.459 --> 00:07:26.079
it
281
00:07:26.320 --> 00:07:28.230
helps people understand
282
00:07:28.760 --> 00:07:29.839
what we're talking about.
283
00:07:29.890 --> 00:07:32.239
It's like NGOs are running the show and it's like,
284
00:07:32.250 --> 00:07:32.279
yeah,
285
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:32.630
OK,
286
00:07:32.760 --> 00:07:33.420
right over the head,
287
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.220
but when you outline what that means.
288
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:37.859
So this is another one.
289
00:07:38.640 --> 00:07:39.619
This is money from.
290
00:07:41.230 --> 00:07:42.100
Gas prices,
291
00:07:42.230 --> 00:07:42.500
right?
292
00:07:42.790 --> 00:07:45.779
One of the reasons gas prices are the highest in the country.
293
00:07:45.910 --> 00:07:47.489
$9 for diesel here,
294
00:07:48.029 --> 00:07:50.230
$5 back in Wyoming where I live.
295
00:07:50.549 --> 00:07:51.029
So
296
00:07:51.589 --> 00:07:51.970
it's
297
00:07:52.109 --> 00:07:54.429
the gas tax and there's the regulations and
298
00:07:54.429 --> 00:07:56.950
the fact that we're shutting down California oil production
299
00:07:57.109 --> 00:07:59.140
and shipping it there's all those reasons.
300
00:07:59.390 --> 00:08:01.850
But there's also a specific thing that you could think of as the
301
00:08:02.070 --> 00:08:02.450
hidden
302
00:08:02.790 --> 00:08:03.950
gas taxes,
303
00:08:04.109 --> 00:08:05.070
which are these programmes.
304
00:08:05.875 --> 00:08:06.934
Where it's basically
305
00:08:07.075 --> 00:08:08.195
the oil companies,
306
00:08:08.274 --> 00:08:10.434
the large producers and users of energy,
307
00:08:10.714 --> 00:08:11.875
pay a tax to the government.
308
00:08:11.915 --> 00:08:13.825
It's called the cap and invest programme,
309
00:08:14.114 --> 00:08:15.575
and it's supposed to pay for
310
00:08:15.714 --> 00:08:18.114
what they call climate change mitigation.
311
00:08:18.475 --> 00:08:19.614
What that means is
312
00:08:19.875 --> 00:08:23.114
things that help climate change in their view,
313
00:08:23.154 --> 00:08:25.054
like bike lanes,
314
00:08:26.154 --> 00:08:26.345
you know,
315
00:08:26.554 --> 00:08:27.674
public transit,
316
00:08:28.075 --> 00:08:29.015
that kind of thing,
317
00:08:29.125 --> 00:08:29.394
OK.
318
00:08:30.459 --> 00:08:30.779
By the way,
319
00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:32.058
including high speed rail,
320
00:08:32.179 --> 00:08:35.219
that's one of the things that's paid for that one usable track,
321
00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:35.558
yeah.
322
00:08:35.780 --> 00:08:36.200
OK.
323
00:08:36.780 --> 00:08:37.659
One example,
324
00:08:38.020 --> 00:08:40.440
they had this programme from this scheme
325
00:08:40.859 --> 00:08:41.320
for
326
00:08:41.580 --> 00:08:43.479
installing solar panels
327
00:08:43.650 --> 00:08:46.119
on low-income apartment buildings.
328
00:08:46.419 --> 00:08:48.320
It was $100 million a year
329
00:08:48.460 --> 00:08:49.460
since 2015.
330
00:08:49.719 --> 00:08:49.729
Right.
331
00:08:49.940 --> 00:08:50.289
So we,
332
00:08:50.380 --> 00:08:50.650
we,
333
00:08:50.940 --> 00:08:52.799
we use AI tools to audit this.
334
00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:54.359
So that's in,
335
00:08:54.580 --> 00:08:55.419
by 2025,
336
00:08:55.460 --> 00:08:56.859
that's $1 billion
337
00:08:56.989 --> 00:08:58.099
billion dollars with a B.
338
00:08:59.179 --> 00:09:01.390
We found of that $1 billion
339
00:09:01.700 --> 00:09:03.460
the actual amount that had,
340
00:09:03.539 --> 00:09:06.859
you could find the invoices for solar panel installation,
341
00:09:07.299 --> 00:09:08.630
$72 million.
342
00:09:09.099 --> 00:09:10.909
$928 million
343
00:09:11.059 --> 00:09:12.380
most of the billion dollars,
344
00:09:12.739 --> 00:09:13.520
went to
345
00:09:13.900 --> 00:09:14.690
nonprofits,
346
00:09:14.979 --> 00:09:15.320
doing.
347
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:17.719
Environmental justice,
348
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:18.440
community,
349
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:20.000
when you look at what that is,
350
00:09:20.280 --> 00:09:21.559
it's the same old story,
351
00:09:21.820 --> 00:09:22.780
voter registration,
352
00:09:23.349 --> 00:09:24.099
ballot harvest.
353
00:09:24.400 --> 00:09:26.340
So what they've been doing
354
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:28.539
is taking taxpayer money,
355
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.739
putting it into these nonprofits that sound like they're working for
356
00:09:33.010 --> 00:09:33.500
good
357
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:35.469
policy objectives,
358
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.719
but actually what they're doing with it is is building the political machine,
359
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:40.500
organising.
360
00:09:41.179 --> 00:09:43.080
And that's what the scam is.
361
00:09:43.640 --> 00:09:43.650
Yes.
362
00:09:43.859 --> 00:09:44.179
And that's,
363
00:09:44.260 --> 00:09:46.280
and so that's part of the story.
364
00:09:46.780 --> 00:09:47.479
Why are
365
00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:49.409
we paying the most and getting the least.
366
00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:50.690
The other is,
367
00:09:51.140 --> 00:09:52.450
even if it's not building that,
368
00:09:52.539 --> 00:09:54.020
if that's out and out corruption,
369
00:09:54.260 --> 00:09:54.270
right,
370
00:09:54.390 --> 00:09:56.799
they're taking taxpayer money and it's ending up
371
00:09:57.260 --> 00:09:57.640
doing
372
00:09:57.859 --> 00:09:59.039
democrat political
373
00:09:59.539 --> 00:10:00.130
organising.
374
00:10:00.239 --> 00:10:00.809
Of course.
375
00:10:00.940 --> 00:10:02.320
There's another category
376
00:10:02.619 --> 00:10:04.460
which is actually the bigger category.
377
00:10:04.830 --> 00:10:05.429
Which is,
378
00:10:05.549 --> 00:10:07.150
it goes to these nonprofits
379
00:10:07.390 --> 00:10:08.450
who then just
380
00:10:08.669 --> 00:10:09.090
don't
381
00:10:09.469 --> 00:10:12.549
do anything useful with it except keep themselves going.
382
00:10:12.869 --> 00:10:14.479
It's an employment programme.
383
00:10:14.750 --> 00:10:17.309
And so this is mostly where the homelessness.
384
00:10:17.619 --> 00:10:19.869
I was just about to say the 24 billion
385
00:10:19.869 --> 00:10:22.429
in homeless that Newsom won't let anybody audit.
386
00:10:22.549 --> 00:10:23.190
So that again,
387
00:10:23.229 --> 00:10:24.030
let's just look at that,
388
00:10:24.150 --> 00:10:24.909
so that that was the.
389
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:25.929
State auditor,
390
00:10:26.210 --> 00:10:27.840
totally independent of politics,
391
00:10:28.090 --> 00:10:28.630
they found,
392
00:10:29.010 --> 00:10:29.169
and,
393
00:10:29.210 --> 00:10:32.169
and what actually happened was a Republican legislator in the,
394
00:10:32.229 --> 00:10:35.190
in the state legislature said we're worried about the homelessness money,
395
00:10:35.479 --> 00:10:37.429
let's ask the state auditor
396
00:10:37.809 --> 00:10:38.750
to do a
397
00:10:38.929 --> 00:10:40.190
like uh take a look.
398
00:10:40.690 --> 00:10:42.309
State auditor came back and said
399
00:10:42.570 --> 00:10:45.469
there's 24 billion where we have no idea where it went.
400
00:10:45.849 --> 00:10:47.229
We can't find it,
401
00:10:47.609 --> 00:10:48.369
or what it did.
402
00:10:48.739 --> 00:10:49.469
So then,
403
00:10:49.739 --> 00:10:50.809
this is the amazing thing,
404
00:10:51.059 --> 00:10:52.250
the state legislature,
405
00:10:52.260 --> 00:10:54.760
which is 2/3 Democrat controlled,
406
00:10:55.460 --> 00:10:56.799
complete Democrat
407
00:10:57.419 --> 00:10:57.809
machine,
408
00:10:58.419 --> 00:11:00.000
they passed a bill
409
00:11:00.700 --> 00:11:01.659
saying even,
410
00:11:01.739 --> 00:11:03.229
even it was too much even for them,
411
00:11:03.539 --> 00:11:04.359
and they said,
412
00:11:04.780 --> 00:11:04.840
well,
413
00:11:04.859 --> 00:11:06.239
they passed a bill saying
414
00:11:06.539 --> 00:11:09.280
let's have a real audit of this homelessness money.
415
00:11:10.219 --> 00:11:12.039
And Newsom vetoed that bill
416
00:11:12.539 --> 00:11:13.320
from his own
417
00:11:14.059 --> 00:11:15.400
Democrat supermajority.
418
00:11:15.640 --> 00:11:16.179
It's so,
419
00:11:16.260 --> 00:11:16.809
why?
420
00:11:17.380 --> 00:11:17.799
Because.
421
00:11:18.260 --> 00:11:21.859
The two components of what we call the homeless industrial complex.
422
00:11:22.580 --> 00:11:23.989
That phrase has become well-known,
423
00:11:24.070 --> 00:11:24.150
well,
424
00:11:24.190 --> 00:11:24.940
what is that?
425
00:11:25.270 --> 00:11:26.659
There's basically two parts to it,
426
00:11:26.750 --> 00:11:27.929
the nonprofits,
427
00:11:28.270 --> 00:11:29.169
and they are
428
00:11:29.549 --> 00:11:31.169
getting millions of dollars
429
00:11:31.469 --> 00:11:31.929
for
430
00:11:32.349 --> 00:11:33.210
services
431
00:11:33.669 --> 00:11:34.460
for the homeless,
432
00:11:34.669 --> 00:11:36.010
but they're not actually
433
00:11:36.150 --> 00:11:37.109
getting them better.
434
00:11:37.349 --> 00:11:37.669
They're not,
435
00:11:37.789 --> 00:11:40.250
because they're not allowed to use it for drug rehab.
436
00:11:40.710 --> 00:11:43.820
Or anything that will or or anything that will actually get them off
437
00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:45.130
drugs
438
00:11:45.359 --> 00:11:46.820
and get them lives back on track,
439
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:48.880
so they're just being paid for keeping the,
440
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:52.619
so that in that sense it's a just a job creation scheme for these
441
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.159
people who are employed by these nonprofits.
442
00:11:55.390 --> 00:11:56.059
By the way,
443
00:11:56.479 --> 00:11:57.679
just the other day in LA.
444
00:11:58.520 --> 00:11:59.840
Homelessness nonprofit,
445
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:00.609
uh,
446
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:04.260
run by a lady who makes $1.6 million a year salary.
447
00:12:04.429 --> 00:12:04.580
Insane.
448
00:12:05.109 --> 00:12:06.070
$1.6 million.
449
00:12:06.750 --> 00:12:07.609
She lives in Hawaii.
450
00:12:08.760 --> 00:12:09.880
She lives in Hawaii.
451
00:12:10.280 --> 00:12:10.400
Right,
452
00:12:10.479 --> 00:12:11.239
this is what's been going on.
453
00:12:11.479 --> 00:12:12.530
So that's one part of it,
454
00:12:12.719 --> 00:12:12.919
the,
455
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:14.239
the nonprofits,
456
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:15.760
the homeless industrial complex.
457
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:17.940
Actually a bigger part of it,
458
00:12:18.400 --> 00:12:20.039
and this really people don't understand,
459
00:12:20.119 --> 00:12:21.159
but we've been following it,
460
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:21.979
is
461
00:12:22.239 --> 00:12:22.590
the,
462
00:12:22.599 --> 00:12:23.419
the develop
463
00:12:24.030 --> 00:12:24.400
developers,
464
00:12:24.510 --> 00:12:24.960
builders.
465
00:12:25.489 --> 00:12:27.950
There's a whole little crony group
466
00:12:28.450 --> 00:12:28.909
of
467
00:12:29.570 --> 00:12:33.289
of developers who are making a fortune out of building
468
00:12:33.690 --> 00:12:36.320
what they call permanent supportive housing,
469
00:12:36.690 --> 00:12:37.650
which is specific,
470
00:12:37.729 --> 00:12:38.630
it's like shelter,
471
00:12:39.049 --> 00:12:40.909
but it's basically apartment units
472
00:12:41.210 --> 00:12:42.369
for homeless people,
473
00:12:42.729 --> 00:12:43.309
and
474
00:12:44.130 --> 00:12:46.409
they charge a million dollars a door.
475
00:12:47.059 --> 00:12:47.969
Like as it's described,
476
00:12:48.020 --> 00:12:48.140
you know,
477
00:12:48.219 --> 00:12:49.979
I've got a friend who builds apartments in
478
00:12:50.179 --> 00:12:50.659
the Bay Area,
479
00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:51.729
he said you can do it for,
480
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:51.940
uh,
481
00:12:52.059 --> 00:12:52.219
you know,
482
00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:52.979
4 for what,
483
00:12:53.059 --> 00:12:53.539
for that price,
484
00:12:53.619 --> 00:12:54.299
250.
485
00:12:54.489 --> 00:12:54.900
Do you know what I mean,
486
00:12:54.940 --> 00:12:55.599
it's just
487
00:12:56.219 --> 00:12:58.400
because they layer on all these things.
488
00:12:58.979 --> 00:13:00.640
You've gotta use union labour,
489
00:13:00.820 --> 00:13:02.929
you've gotta use this supplier for concrete,
490
00:13:02.979 --> 00:13:03.219
you've got,
491
00:13:03.289 --> 00:13:03.450
you know,
492
00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:03.900
all these,
493
00:13:03.979 --> 00:13:04.820
it's a scam.
494
00:13:04.859 --> 00:13:05.179
I mean,
495
00:13:05.419 --> 00:13:06.960
this is what's been going on.
496
00:13:07.659 --> 00:13:08.320
You know.
497
00:13:10.390 --> 00:13:12.770
When you talk about this stuff,
498
00:13:12.909 --> 00:13:16.299
what's crazy is that they also control the media.
499
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.330
So when you try to tell people
500
00:13:19.630 --> 00:13:22.099
who are liberal like this is happening,
501
00:13:22.349 --> 00:13:24.450
they look at you like you have 10 heads.
502
00:13:24.869 --> 00:13:26.539
And what's even more alarming,
503
00:13:26.630 --> 00:13:29.609
where I try to get people to pay attention whether they're
504
00:13:30.270 --> 00:13:32.229
California refugees or not,
505
00:13:32.469 --> 00:13:34.130
is that this playbook.
506
00:13:34.969 --> 00:13:37.750
Can be exported to a state.
507
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:40.130
That you live in
508
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:44.580
this is a playbook that is coming to your state
509
00:13:45.119 --> 00:13:45.840
sooner than later.
510
00:13:45.929 --> 00:13:46.200
Yes,
511
00:13:46.429 --> 00:13:47.460
and there's another thing,
512
00:13:47.469 --> 00:13:48.619
I mean this is really
513
00:13:51.070 --> 00:13:53.090
Let's stop me if it gets too complicated,
514
00:13:53.229 --> 00:13:55.890
but like I'll have you simplify it one of the things
515
00:13:56.109 --> 00:13:57.169
that's going on
516
00:13:57.510 --> 00:13:59.570
now switching not to so much the money,
517
00:13:59.789 --> 00:14:02.510
but why it's so difficult to do anything,
518
00:14:02.590 --> 00:14:02.969
right?
519
00:14:03.309 --> 00:14:04.570
We still have
520
00:14:04.909 --> 00:14:05.609
the same
521
00:14:06.469 --> 00:14:07.789
water infrastructure.
522
00:14:08.659 --> 00:14:09.099
That
523
00:14:09.619 --> 00:14:12.580
we haven't built new water infrastructure since 1979.
524
00:14:13.059 --> 00:14:13.979
Basically we have a,
525
00:14:14.059 --> 00:14:15.719
we have water infrastructure that was built,
526
00:14:16.140 --> 00:14:16.700
dams,
527
00:14:16.739 --> 00:14:17.200
reservoirs,
528
00:14:17.280 --> 00:14:17.840
all that stuff
529
00:14:18.179 --> 00:14:19.900
for a state with 20 million people.
530
00:14:20.099 --> 00:14:21.570
We now have nearly 40 million,
531
00:14:21.729 --> 00:14:22.900
but it's the same infrastructure.
532
00:14:23.179 --> 00:14:24.940
Even though they passed a bond.
533
00:14:25.330 --> 00:14:27.409
To pay to build new reservoirs,
534
00:14:27.690 --> 00:14:28.219
nothing's happened,
535
00:14:28.619 --> 00:14:28.690
right,
536
00:14:29.059 --> 00:14:31.059
so every year they say we have a drought,
537
00:14:31.349 --> 00:14:32.219
we don't have a drought,
538
00:14:32.460 --> 00:14:34.479
we just haven't built enough storage
539
00:14:34.859 --> 00:14:39.909
to capture what we get in the wet winter months and instead send it out to the ocean,
540
00:14:40.109 --> 00:14:40.700
because we haven't,
541
00:14:40.880 --> 00:14:41.179
Built
542
00:14:41.390 --> 00:14:42.690
the infrastructure needed.
543
00:14:43.030 --> 00:14:43.950
Why does everything,
544
00:14:44.070 --> 00:14:44.929
that's one example.
545
00:14:45.549 --> 00:14:48.349
Why is it why are housing costs the highest in the country,
546
00:14:48.400 --> 00:14:49.780
because we don't build enough housing.
547
00:14:49.950 --> 00:14:52.059
We don't build the kind of housing people want.
548
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.390
Single family homes that people want to live in,
549
00:14:54.429 --> 00:14:55.190
to raise their family,
550
00:14:55.390 --> 00:14:56.109
etc.
551
00:14:56.929 --> 00:14:57.659
Whatever it is,
552
00:14:57.869 --> 00:14:58.809
it's so difficult.
553
00:14:58.950 --> 00:15:00.409
One of the main reasons
554
00:15:00.669 --> 00:15:01.210
is
555
00:15:01.989 --> 00:15:03.770
extreme environmentalism.
556
00:15:03.900 --> 00:15:05.539
It's another reason we have the wildfires,
557
00:15:05.750 --> 00:15:06.630
cos they've stopped.
558
00:15:07.030 --> 00:15:08.409
Do you know I had two
559
00:15:08.590 --> 00:15:10.260
homes here burn,
560
00:15:10.619 --> 00:15:11.969
one in 2018.
561
00:15:12.969 --> 00:15:14.659
And thank the gods,
562
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:17.179
the one that I sold in 2021
563
00:15:17.599 --> 00:15:20.030
to move to Florida burned in the Palisades fire.
564
00:15:20.229 --> 00:15:20.599
Oh my goodness,
565
00:15:20.609 --> 00:15:21.950
and I just think like
566
00:15:22.359 --> 00:15:23.760
thank God I sold that house.
567
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:25.880
I would never get insurance again.
568
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.359
It took me 5 years to get homeowner's insurance
569
00:15:29.690 --> 00:15:33.619
after losing the home in 2018 to the Woolseley fire,
570
00:15:33.880 --> 00:15:35.229
despite the fact that
571
00:15:35.469 --> 00:15:37.739
that was nobody's fault except.
572
00:15:38.229 --> 00:15:39.710
Pacific Gas and Electric.
573
00:15:39.909 --> 00:15:41.190
And and but also these,
574
00:15:41.349 --> 00:15:41.650
so
575
00:15:41.909 --> 00:15:43.419
just with the Palisades fire,
576
00:15:43.669 --> 00:15:44.619
you had people,
577
00:15:44.950 --> 00:15:45.650
homeowners
578
00:15:45.789 --> 00:15:47.900
who were trying to do this responsible thing,
579
00:15:48.229 --> 00:15:49.070
clear the brush,
580
00:15:49.190 --> 00:15:49.210
y,
581
00:15:49.549 --> 00:15:50.869
create defensible space,
582
00:15:50.950 --> 00:15:51.109
you know,
583
00:15:51.229 --> 00:15:52.489
just common sense things,
584
00:15:52.750 --> 00:15:54.030
were being fined
585
00:15:54.429 --> 00:15:55.229
by the agent,
586
00:15:55.309 --> 00:15:56.070
the state agent,
587
00:15:56.140 --> 00:15:57.969
the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy.
588
00:15:58.590 --> 00:15:59.369
Because they were
589
00:15:59.590 --> 00:16:00.630
disrupting the,
590
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:01.309
the whatever,
591
00:16:01.429 --> 00:16:01.520
the,
592
00:16:01.590 --> 00:16:02.700
the endangered plant,
593
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:03.229
the weeds,
594
00:16:03.309 --> 00:16:03.429
the,
595
00:16:03.510 --> 00:16:04.580
the milk vegge plant,
596
00:16:04.789 --> 00:16:04.979
so,
597
00:16:05.150 --> 00:16:05.309
but,
598
00:16:05.429 --> 00:16:06.340
so everywhere you look,
599
00:16:06.349 --> 00:16:06.700
this,
600
00:16:06.830 --> 00:16:07.700
this
601
00:16:07.909 --> 00:16:08.489
extreme
602
00:16:09.190 --> 00:16:10.849
I don't even wanna call it environmentalism,
603
00:16:10.909 --> 00:16:11.349
it's not,
604
00:16:11.549 --> 00:16:12.489
it's not about that.
605
00:16:12.669 --> 00:16:14.030
It's an ideology,
606
00:16:14.229 --> 00:16:15.150
it's like a climate,
607
00:16:15.190 --> 00:16:16.969
it's connected again it's not even
608
00:16:17.349 --> 00:16:18.219
helping the climate,
609
00:16:18.309 --> 00:16:20.090
so it's just this ideology.
610
00:16:20.229 --> 00:16:20.250
Yeah.
611
00:16:20.710 --> 00:16:21.090
Now
612
00:16:21.590 --> 00:16:24.789
what that is connected to this nonprofits thing in the following way.
613
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:26.799
If you go to Sacramento
614
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:30.190
and you talk to anyone involved in making policy,
615
00:16:30.479 --> 00:16:31.150
passing bills,
616
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:31.590
whatever,
617
00:16:31.849 --> 00:16:35.859
the the the and and the the forces that you have to get on your side
618
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.580
to get anything through the legislature
619
00:16:38.719 --> 00:16:39.739
or to make anything happen,
620
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:41.200
you've got the unions,
621
00:16:41.239 --> 00:16:41.830
you mentioned them,
622
00:16:42.090 --> 00:16:43.000
I wanna get into that,
623
00:16:43.119 --> 00:16:43.419
yeah.
624
00:16:44.109 --> 00:16:44.719
And then,
625
00:16:44.789 --> 00:16:45.869
and then the lawyers,
626
00:16:45.969 --> 00:16:46.789
very important group,
627
00:16:46.830 --> 00:16:48.059
the trial attorneys,
628
00:16:48.229 --> 00:16:50.309
that's why everyone gets sued the whole time in California,
629
00:16:50.390 --> 00:16:51.210
you can't do anything.
630
00:16:52.020 --> 00:16:52.469
This is the,
631
00:16:52.590 --> 00:16:53.510
the third one that's very important,
632
00:16:53.789 --> 00:16:54.109
they call,
633
00:16:54.229 --> 00:16:55.590
they call it the groups.
634
00:16:55.909 --> 00:16:57.020
That's what they actually call it,
635
00:16:57.070 --> 00:16:57.859
the groups.
636
00:16:58.169 --> 00:17:00.169
What that means is the environmental
637
00:17:00.869 --> 00:17:01.549
pressure groups,
638
00:17:01.630 --> 00:17:02.469
activist groups,
639
00:17:02.630 --> 00:17:03.590
Sierra Club,
640
00:17:03.909 --> 00:17:05.739
Natural Resources defence Council,
641
00:17:05.790 --> 00:17:05.949
you know,
642
00:17:05.989 --> 00:17:06.969
these are big
643
00:17:07.709 --> 00:17:08.579
nonprofits,
644
00:17:08.949 --> 00:17:09.229
right?
645
00:17:09.729 --> 00:17:10.969
And what they do.
646
00:17:11.479 --> 00:17:12.979
Is now they don't,
647
00:17:13.199 --> 00:17:15.598
they don't bribe the politicians in the same way,
648
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:15.839
they're,
649
00:17:15.959 --> 00:17:17.209
they're like the unions
650
00:17:17.520 --> 00:17:18.660
have a lot of money.
651
00:17:19.280 --> 00:17:19.660
Like
652
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:21.680
Chris Ruffo at City Journal,
653
00:17:21.760 --> 00:17:22.300
they just did
654
00:17:22.719 --> 00:17:23.829
a quick analysis.
655
00:17:24.040 --> 00:17:24.280
The,
656
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:25.420
the top 10
657
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:28.750
government unions in California with taxpayer money,
658
00:17:28.770 --> 00:17:29.400
make
659
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:31.280
$1 billion a year.
660
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:32.239
Right,
661
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:34.500
so these are well funded organisations.
662
00:17:34.560 --> 00:17:34.680
Yeah,
663
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:36.219
which is why my kids' school
664
00:17:36.560 --> 00:17:37.400
was the last to open.
665
00:17:37.479 --> 00:17:37.680
I know,
666
00:17:37.760 --> 00:17:40.310
so all this COVID exactly cos they get the unions control the product,
667
00:17:40.479 --> 00:17:41.959
but the environmental group,
668
00:17:42.040 --> 00:17:43.060
this is what they do,
669
00:17:43.520 --> 00:17:44.780
they get their people.
670
00:17:46.010 --> 00:17:46.170
Their,
671
00:17:46.390 --> 00:17:46.569
you know,
672
00:17:46.689 --> 00:17:46.849
their,
673
00:17:46.930 --> 00:17:47.170
their,
674
00:17:47.290 --> 00:17:50.949
their own people and they they put them into the different agencies.
675
00:17:51.489 --> 00:17:53.010
What we might think of as the.
676
00:17:53.910 --> 00:17:54.949
There's the bureaucracy,
677
00:17:55.069 --> 00:17:56.430
the administrative state,
678
00:17:56.510 --> 00:17:56.859
the deep,
679
00:17:57.069 --> 00:17:58.969
all these different terms we've got to learn
680
00:17:59.349 --> 00:18:01.829
in terms of national politics and Trump and Washington,
681
00:18:01.989 --> 00:18:02.250
right?
682
00:18:02.709 --> 00:18:03.069
So
683
00:18:03.270 --> 00:18:04.060
it's the same here.
684
00:18:04.189 --> 00:18:05.729
There's an administrative state,
685
00:18:06.140 --> 00:18:07.829
200+ agencies,
686
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:10.189
the California Air Resources Board,
687
00:18:10.510 --> 00:18:11.849
the Coastal Commission,
688
00:18:12.189 --> 00:18:14.849
the State Water Resources Control Board,
689
00:18:15.189 --> 00:18:17.050
the Board of Pesticide Regulator,
690
00:18:17.390 --> 00:18:18.609
endless different groups,
691
00:18:18.829 --> 00:18:19.099
uh,
692
00:18:19.109 --> 00:18:20.380
state Board of Education,
693
00:18:20.739 --> 00:18:21.189
etc.
694
00:18:21.380 --> 00:18:22.469
hundreds of these groups.
695
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:26.500
What the environmental groups do is they put their own people
696
00:18:27.040 --> 00:18:27.979
inside those agencies,
697
00:18:28.040 --> 00:18:29.119
they get them hired,
698
00:18:29.439 --> 00:18:30.060
then
699
00:18:30.560 --> 00:18:31.319
they sue,
700
00:18:31.439 --> 00:18:33.780
they use litigation as a tactic.
701
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:35.459
They sue
702
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:37.140
the agency
703
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:38.339
for being
704
00:18:38.520 --> 00:18:39.939
insufficiently
705
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:41.229
environmental,
706
00:18:41.439 --> 00:18:43.660
and then their people inside
707
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:44.920
settle.
708
00:18:45.699 --> 00:18:47.569
In order to advance the goal,
709
00:18:48.069 --> 00:18:50.569
that's a real dynamic that's going on.
710
00:18:51.020 --> 00:18:54.619
If you want an action movie that actually gives you something to care about,
711
00:18:54.989 --> 00:18:57.390
put Runner from Angel on your radar.
712
00:18:57.510 --> 00:18:57.969
This film
713
00:18:58.550 --> 00:19:01.150
delivers the perfect blend of thrills and emotional depth.
714
00:19:01.229 --> 00:19:03.829
It stars Alan Richson and Owen Wilson.
715
00:19:04.089 --> 00:19:05.849
And it's a race against time
716
00:19:06.089 --> 00:19:09.849
to deliver a life saving liver to a young girl in the hospital.
717
00:19:09.989 --> 00:19:12.069
The problem is that a dangerous cartel
718
00:19:12.410 --> 00:19:13.469
wants that same liver,
719
00:19:13.479 --> 00:19:15.280
and they're gonna do whatever it takes to get it.
720
00:19:15.579 --> 00:19:16.369
So you've got action,
721
00:19:16.479 --> 00:19:16.930
suspense,
722
00:19:17.040 --> 00:19:17.689
adrenaline,
723
00:19:17.800 --> 00:19:18.709
and a story
724
00:19:19.050 --> 00:19:20.270
with a whole lot of heart.
725
00:19:20.729 --> 00:19:23.170
Runner hit theatres September 11th,
726
00:19:23.290 --> 00:19:25.920

737
00:19:39.729 --> 00:19:41.920
where a high stakes action movie belongs
738
00:19:42.130 --> 00:19:43.319
on the big screen or,
739
00:19:43.329 --> 00:19:43.770
as I said,
740
00:19:43.849 --> 00:19:45.160
in the comfort of your own home.
741
00:19:45.410 --> 00:19:48.150
Head to angel.com/ Jillian to join.
742
00:19:49.099 --> 00:19:49.569
So they,
743
00:19:49.689 --> 00:19:52.390
they use this kind of inside outside game.
744
00:19:52.609 --> 00:19:56.790
It's incredible how actually I know so much about this and I did not know that.
745
00:19:56.890 --> 00:19:58.229
It's so crazy
746
00:19:58.489 --> 00:20:00.050
and so when you go to Sacramento,
747
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:01.630
this is the thing that's most
748
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:02.829
struck me
749
00:20:03.170 --> 00:20:04.329
when I got into this.
750
00:20:04.689 --> 00:20:05.420
Like and I don't,
751
00:20:05.689 --> 00:20:05.810
you know,
752
00:20:05.890 --> 00:20:07.150
I can't believe I didn't know that.
753
00:20:07.250 --> 00:20:07.449
And,
754
00:20:07.520 --> 00:20:09.489
and you start going to Sacramento
755
00:20:09.729 --> 00:20:11.319
and having meetings with people,
756
00:20:11.410 --> 00:20:13.989
like this is what I did before I was a candidate for governor.
757
00:20:14.609 --> 00:20:15.170
I ran a,
758
00:20:15.209 --> 00:20:15.489
I,
759
00:20:15.530 --> 00:20:17.609
I actually my journey to this was that.
760
00:20:18.180 --> 00:20:20.270
You know I've been in business most of my career,
761
00:20:20.500 --> 00:20:25.369
businessman and a so I and I and I did a TV show for a bit and then
762
00:20:25.619 --> 00:20:26.030
as I,
763
00:20:26.170 --> 00:20:27.890
well as I was doing the TV show I thought,
764
00:20:27.900 --> 00:20:28.180
you know what,
765
00:20:28.219 --> 00:20:28.380
I'm,
766
00:20:28.500 --> 00:20:29.739
I wanna get back into doing things.
767
00:20:30.060 --> 00:20:31.680
So I didn't intend to run for anything.
768
00:20:31.900 --> 00:20:32.380
I just thought,
769
00:20:32.459 --> 00:20:32.650
you know,
770
00:20:32.699 --> 00:20:33.579
I love California.
771
00:20:33.685 --> 00:20:34.454
It's an amazing place,
772
00:20:34.525 --> 00:20:35.515
it's going off the rails,
773
00:20:35.805 --> 00:20:36.915
let's do something useful.
774
00:20:37.185 --> 00:20:38.484
Started this little policy group,
775
00:20:38.525 --> 00:20:39.984
it's really me and a couple of guys,
776
00:20:40.525 --> 00:20:40.685
you know,
777
00:20:40.844 --> 00:20:41.484
travelling the state,
778
00:20:41.564 --> 00:20:42.265
learning about the problems,
779
00:20:42.405 --> 00:20:43.444
developing solutions,
780
00:20:43.805 --> 00:20:44.704
policy ideas.
781
00:20:45.165 --> 00:20:47.084
So I start going to Sacramento,
782
00:20:47.125 --> 00:20:48.204
this is a few years ago,
783
00:20:48.285 --> 00:20:49.185
this is what happened.
784
00:20:49.525 --> 00:20:51.025
And I just saw
785
00:20:51.555 --> 00:20:53.005
that every conversation,
786
00:20:53.645 --> 00:20:55.234
literally every conversation is,
787
00:20:55.484 --> 00:20:55.645
yeah,
788
00:20:55.805 --> 00:20:56.204
good idea,
789
00:20:56.285 --> 00:20:57.244
but that'll never happen.
790
00:20:57.444 --> 00:20:58.755
Oh the groups weren't allowed,
791
00:20:58.925 --> 00:20:59.844
the unions weren't allowed,
792
00:21:00.045 --> 00:21:00.785
the law
793
00:21:01.405 --> 00:21:02.744
from politicians.
794
00:21:03.719 --> 00:21:05.209
And that's when I realised
795
00:21:05.489 --> 00:21:06.459
it's actually
796
00:21:06.930 --> 00:21:07.079
the,
797
00:21:07.219 --> 00:21:10.849
the structurally there's a totally broken government
798
00:21:11.290 --> 00:21:11.750
that's
799
00:21:11.969 --> 00:21:13.869
been completely corrupted.
800
00:21:14.800 --> 00:21:15.250
Completely,
801
00:21:15.329 --> 00:21:16.829
so that's why you have this weird
802
00:21:17.489 --> 00:21:19.770
thing where you've got the Democrat politicians
803
00:21:20.010 --> 00:21:21.270
who run around saying
804
00:21:21.810 --> 00:21:23.420
we must do something about affordability,
805
00:21:23.489 --> 00:21:25.050
we must do something about the housing crisis,
806
00:21:25.130 --> 00:21:25.439
we must,
807
00:21:25.689 --> 00:21:26.290
but nothing ever happened.
808
00:21:26.454 --> 00:21:26.744
Happens
809
00:21:27.535 --> 00:21:28.454
that it just gets worse,
810
00:21:28.505 --> 00:21:28.625
it happens
811
00:21:30.895 --> 00:21:31.415
and so
812
00:21:31.734 --> 00:21:35.295
because then they're not they're not in control of it,
813
00:21:35.415 --> 00:21:36.714
they're not in control of it.
814
00:21:36.854 --> 00:21:38.275
I'll give you a specific
815
00:21:38.415 --> 00:21:38.895
example.
816
00:21:39.214 --> 00:21:41.795
I've it's almost the moment that I thought this is
817
00:21:42.114 --> 00:21:42.314
fucking,
818
00:21:42.734 --> 00:21:44.194
I don't know but I can curse on here,
819
00:21:44.244 --> 00:21:46.275
but like we'd like no this is.
820
00:21:46.869 --> 00:21:48.569
I was working on housing
821
00:21:48.709 --> 00:21:49.310
policy.
822
00:21:49.500 --> 00:21:50.189
It's the biggest,
823
00:21:50.270 --> 00:21:51.790
it's the number one reason people are leaving,
824
00:21:51.869 --> 00:21:53.069
it's just so expensive.
825
00:21:53.349 --> 00:21:53.670
Like
826
00:21:53.869 --> 00:21:54.349
the,
827
00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:54.380
the,
828
00:21:54.459 --> 00:21:55.310
the mid midpoint,
829
00:21:55.469 --> 00:21:56.420
median house price,
830
00:21:56.670 --> 00:21:58.390
about a million dollars in California.
831
00:21:58.709 --> 00:21:59.660
The mid-income,
832
00:21:59.910 --> 00:22:00.469
like for the,
833
00:22:00.510 --> 00:22:03.219
the halfway $65,000 a year for an individual.
834
00:22:03.510 --> 00:22:05.250
So half of Californians
835
00:22:05.469 --> 00:22:07.069
earn less than $6,500,000.
836
00:22:07.449 --> 00:22:08.170
And yet the,
837
00:22:08.290 --> 00:22:09.750
the the midpoint for
838
00:22:09.890 --> 00:22:11.689
a of buying your own home is a million dollars.
839
00:22:11.829 --> 00:22:13.790
It's just and you were gonna cut all taxes,
840
00:22:13.810 --> 00:22:15.930
I think for people making under $100.
841
00:22:16.109 --> 00:22:16.770
0 it was $150.
842
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:17.369
I thought it was $100.
843
00:22:17.439 --> 00:22:17.569
OK.
844
00:22:17.650 --> 00:22:18.010
So anyway,
845
00:22:18.109 --> 00:22:18.380
so we,
846
00:22:18.469 --> 00:22:18.699
we,
847
00:22:18.810 --> 00:22:21.020
I'm looking at the housing thing and I developed some,
848
00:22:21.510 --> 00:22:22.770
some plans around that,
849
00:22:22.890 --> 00:22:23.550
mainly
850
00:22:23.770 --> 00:22:24.550
to do with.
851
00:22:24.989 --> 00:22:28.349
Unblocking all the lawsuits that are filed to block housing.
852
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:30.459
Most of them are filed by unions,
853
00:22:30.520 --> 00:22:31.030
actually,
854
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:34.469
to negotiate what they call project labour agreements.
855
00:22:34.800 --> 00:22:35.270
Where they said,
856
00:22:35.280 --> 00:22:35.510
yeah,
857
00:22:35.719 --> 00:22:38.949
we'll file a lawsuit on some pretext of some environmental thing,
858
00:22:39.280 --> 00:22:39.699
make it up,
859
00:22:39.800 --> 00:22:40.199
doesn't matter,
860
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:40.790
we'll give it,
861
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:42.880
we'll create some local nonprofit
862
00:22:43.050 --> 00:22:44.020
that sounds green,
863
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:44.520
you know,
864
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:45.000
citizens.
865
00:22:45.199 --> 00:22:46.939
For protecting the creek or whatever,
866
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:47.760
um,
867
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:48.430
and they,
868
00:22:48.479 --> 00:22:49.719
they file a lawsuit
869
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:51.750
to against the housing developer,
870
00:22:52.040 --> 00:22:52.819
and then they say,
871
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:53.079
well,
872
00:22:53.150 --> 00:22:55.640
if you give us you project labour agreement,
873
00:22:55.709 --> 00:22:57.060
union meant workers only,
874
00:22:57.699 --> 00:22:58.719
these these wage rates,
875
00:22:58.760 --> 00:22:59.030
whatever,
876
00:22:59.109 --> 00:23:00.079
we'll lift the lawsuit.
877
00:23:00.239 --> 00:23:00.959
That's how it works,
878
00:23:01.040 --> 00:23:02.000
that's what's been going on.
879
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:03.859
So part of my plan
880
00:23:04.239 --> 00:23:05.180
was to end that.
881
00:23:05.589 --> 00:23:07.910
To remove that right that was called the private right of
882
00:23:07.910 --> 00:23:10.900
action where anyone can file an environmental a question though,
883
00:23:11.479 --> 00:23:15.630
so here's where I get confused because I don't really understand the union piece.
884
00:23:15.719 --> 00:23:16.839
I know a lot about a lot of things,
885
00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:18.339
but unions not fairly,
886
00:23:18.479 --> 00:23:19.260
not so much.
887
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:20.219
And as
888
00:23:21.040 --> 00:23:21.160
you know,
889
00:23:21.199 --> 00:23:22.119
a regular American,
890
00:23:22.199 --> 00:23:22.599
you think,
891
00:23:22.719 --> 00:23:22.829
well,
892
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:24.760
I want to protect the American workers.
893
00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:27.099
We've got so much illegal labour over here,
894
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:29.270
like I see it all over the place in California,
895
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:29.619
which
896
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:30.150
also,
897
00:23:30.219 --> 00:23:30.680
by the way,
898
00:23:30.719 --> 00:23:31.459
is gross.
899
00:23:31.479 --> 00:23:32.819
Like these people did not.
900
00:23:34.209 --> 00:23:36.459
You cross the Darien Gap to be your maid,
901
00:23:36.569 --> 00:23:38.250
and I'm sure that they would like
902
00:23:38.780 --> 00:23:39.939
fair wages as well.
903
00:23:39.979 --> 00:23:41.359
And if we brought them in legally,
904
00:23:41.380 --> 00:23:42.060
we could get there.
905
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:45.119
But let's table the conversation of importing a
906
00:23:45.260 --> 00:23:46.500
slave class.
907
00:23:47.010 --> 00:23:49.099
Like I want Americans to be well paid.
908
00:23:49.349 --> 00:23:49.599
Yeah,
909
00:23:49.780 --> 00:23:51.119
so then I then I
910
00:23:51.619 --> 00:23:52.040
like
911
00:23:52.540 --> 00:23:55.640
kind of get freaked out at the thought of going against unions.
912
00:23:55.819 --> 00:23:58.520
So this is where I think a lot of people don't.
913
00:23:59.150 --> 00:23:59.569
So
914
00:23:59.910 --> 00:24:00.459
I agree with you.
915
00:24:00.699 --> 00:24:00.719
The police,
916
00:24:01.109 --> 00:24:01.869
I agree with you,
917
00:24:01.890 --> 00:24:03.310
I want to support my police.
918
00:24:03.390 --> 00:24:03.719
Yes,
919
00:24:03.869 --> 00:24:05.140
I agree with you completely,
920
00:24:05.469 --> 00:24:05.939
but I,
921
00:24:05.989 --> 00:24:06.550
and um.
922
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:09.560
Big part of my whole political philosophy,
923
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:11.280
I call it positive populism,
924
00:24:11.339 --> 00:24:12.670
that's what I used to talk about on my show,
925
00:24:13.439 --> 00:24:13.619
you know,
926
00:24:13.800 --> 00:24:14.390
pro-worker,
927
00:24:14.439 --> 00:24:15.579
I used to say that all the time.
928
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:16.479
But it's got,
929
00:24:16.670 --> 00:24:18.180
it's got so extreme
930
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:20.420
that the union leaders
931
00:24:20.560 --> 00:24:22.219
who've become very political,
932
00:24:22.800 --> 00:24:24.839
no longer act in the interests of the workers.
933
00:24:25.239 --> 00:24:26.500
So this is a really good example,
934
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:27.369
so they'll say,
935
00:24:27.560 --> 00:24:30.160
we'll file this lawsuit to get a project labour agreement.
936
00:24:30.739 --> 00:24:32.260
What does that actually look like?
937
00:24:32.469 --> 00:24:33.670
It means the wage rate,
938
00:24:33.829 --> 00:24:34.410
like they have,
939
00:24:34.630 --> 00:24:35.069
sorry for that,
940
00:24:35.150 --> 00:24:36.319
it's two components,
941
00:24:36.790 --> 00:24:37.819
skilled and trained.
942
00:24:38.099 --> 00:24:38.770
That means
943
00:24:39.189 --> 00:24:40.530
that's a euphemism for
944
00:24:40.709 --> 00:24:42.310
union workers only.
945
00:24:42.900 --> 00:24:43.930
It's a closed shop.
946
00:24:44.510 --> 00:24:44.849
Uh,
947
00:24:44.859 --> 00:24:46.489
and the second part is,
948
00:24:46.790 --> 00:24:47.300
um,
949
00:24:47.630 --> 00:24:48.849
prevailing wage.
950
00:24:49.109 --> 00:24:49.979
That's the term.
951
00:24:50.170 --> 00:24:50.180
OK.
952
00:24:50.709 --> 00:24:52.099
Sounds very reasonable.
953
00:24:52.310 --> 00:24:53.890
What it actually means is
954
00:24:54.030 --> 00:24:54.390
I,
955
00:24:54.469 --> 00:24:54.630
I,
956
00:24:54.709 --> 00:24:55.510
I was with um.
957
00:24:56.569 --> 00:24:59.780
I ask all the time with with builders trying to make things happen,
958
00:25:00.239 --> 00:25:00.560
prevailing,
959
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:01.560
we're in Fresno.
960
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:02.640
I said um.
961
00:25:03.489 --> 00:25:03.569
He,
962
00:25:03.689 --> 00:25:06.369
this guy actually had 22 jobs building houses,
963
00:25:06.449 --> 00:25:06.569
right,
964
00:25:06.739 --> 00:25:07.369
same time
965
00:25:07.770 --> 00:25:08.349
going on
966
00:25:08.489 --> 00:25:09.530
in and around Fresno.
967
00:25:09.810 --> 00:25:11.989
One was just a regular normal project
968
00:25:12.209 --> 00:25:14.969
and one was had a project labour agreement that had,
969
00:25:15.050 --> 00:25:16.650
had been negotiated with the unions.
970
00:25:16.750 --> 00:25:16.760
OK.
971
00:25:17.250 --> 00:25:17.729
And
972
00:25:18.130 --> 00:25:20.180
um he said I have a team of plumbers,
973
00:25:20.530 --> 00:25:20.969
like a couple,
974
00:25:21.130 --> 00:25:21.969
some guys,
975
00:25:22.329 --> 00:25:22.869
and
976
00:25:23.329 --> 00:25:23.849
they,
977
00:25:24.130 --> 00:25:24.280
you know,
978
00:25:24.290 --> 00:25:25.050
it's the Central Valley,
979
00:25:25.089 --> 00:25:26.130
the wage rates are a bit low.
980
00:25:26.890 --> 00:25:27.949
It said for
981
00:25:28.290 --> 00:25:28.709
uh
982
00:25:28.930 --> 00:25:30.050
the market rate job,
983
00:25:30.130 --> 00:25:31.099
the normal job,
984
00:25:31.439 --> 00:25:33.420
they're paying $25 to $40 an hour.
985
00:25:33.609 --> 00:25:33.800
OK,
986
00:25:33.819 --> 00:25:34.130
OK.
987
00:25:35.150 --> 00:25:36.729
Same people
988
00:25:37.150 --> 00:25:38.650
doing the same work
989
00:25:38.989 --> 00:25:39.790
across town.
990
00:25:41.040 --> 00:25:42.869
95 to 120
991
00:25:43.239 --> 00:25:44.760
negotiated by the union,
992
00:25:44.869 --> 00:25:45.530
wow,
993
00:25:45.849 --> 00:25:46.189
now.
994
00:25:47.489 --> 00:25:48.839
Probably you want,
995
00:25:48.959 --> 00:25:49.199
you know,
996
00:25:49.390 --> 00:25:51.540
wage rates that are sort of a little bit higher than the,
997
00:25:51.760 --> 00:25:52.709
but that's insane.
998
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:54.180
Somewhere in the middle of that continuum and
999
00:25:54.670 --> 00:25:59.000
and where because some of that money goes to the union to build their organisation.
1000
00:25:59.010 --> 00:25:59.020
Yeah,
1001
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:01.180
because it's negotiated.
1002
00:26:01.760 --> 00:26:06.050
And so it's 2 to 3 and and like labour costs are a massive component of costs,
1003
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:06.859
and so
1004
00:26:07.260 --> 00:26:08.560
almost anything
1005
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:09.989
that gets like
1006
00:26:10.239 --> 00:26:11.119
infrastructure,
1007
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:11.920
roads,
1008
00:26:12.280 --> 00:26:12.750
whatever,
1009
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:14.839
has to have a project labour agreement.
1010
00:26:15.300 --> 00:26:15.489
With,
1011
00:26:15.510 --> 00:26:17.540
with the and skilled and trained
1012
00:26:17.699 --> 00:26:18.099
means
1013
00:26:18.380 --> 00:26:20.250
you know you have to use union members.
1014
00:26:20.619 --> 00:26:21.579
This guy was telling me sometime,
1015
00:26:21.660 --> 00:26:21.819
you know,
1016
00:26:21.859 --> 00:26:21.979
we,
1017
00:26:22.020 --> 00:26:22.640
I mean he was saying
1018
00:26:23.140 --> 00:26:23.849
carpet fitters,
1019
00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:24.939
there weren't any union,
1020
00:26:25.060 --> 00:26:27.439
we had to fly them in from Vegas or something.
1021
00:26:27.449 --> 00:26:27.969
Oh my God.
1022
00:26:28.060 --> 00:26:28.969
Put them up in a hotel,
1023
00:26:29.209 --> 00:26:29.380
you know,
1024
00:26:29.420 --> 00:26:30.949
like just
1025
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:32.859
just completely no one knows any of this,
1026
00:26:32.939 --> 00:26:35.729
it's like why is everything so expensive
1027
00:26:35.900 --> 00:26:36.660
and takes so long,
1028
00:26:36.739 --> 00:26:37.780
it's cos of all this,
1029
00:26:37.859 --> 00:26:39.219
that it's so complicated,
1030
00:26:39.540 --> 00:26:40.500
no one gets in the details,
1031
00:26:40.660 --> 00:26:41.969
so I wanna tell you about a conversation,
1032
00:26:41.989 --> 00:26:42.819
I went to see.
1033
00:26:43.209 --> 00:26:44.359
A legislator
1034
00:26:44.619 --> 00:26:47.569
who they said this person's very good on the housing policy,
1035
00:26:47.900 --> 00:26:49.449
and I said we've gotta get rid of this,
1036
00:26:49.900 --> 00:26:54.439
this um private right of action where you get all these unions filing these lawsuits
1037
00:26:54.619 --> 00:26:57.339
to block housing cos it's just destroying
1038
00:26:57.619 --> 00:26:59.630
our opportunity to build and and housing,
1039
00:26:59.660 --> 00:27:00.319
and she and
1040
00:27:00.579 --> 00:27:01.459
she said I totally agree,
1041
00:27:01.500 --> 00:27:02.739
it would be transformational,
1042
00:27:02.819 --> 00:27:03.260
that's the word,
1043
00:27:03.339 --> 00:27:03.520
she said,
1044
00:27:03.699 --> 00:27:04.520
transformational.
1045
00:27:04.699 --> 00:27:05.319
I said great,
1046
00:27:05.420 --> 00:27:06.839
let's work on it together.
1047
00:27:07.219 --> 00:27:07.729
um
1048
00:27:08.099 --> 00:27:08.699
I'm a Republican,
1049
00:27:08.780 --> 00:27:09.300
you're a Democrat,
1050
00:27:09.380 --> 00:27:09.979
people like that,
1051
00:27:10.140 --> 00:27:10.300
you know,
1052
00:27:10.420 --> 00:27:10.930
we both agree.
1053
00:27:11.020 --> 00:27:12.900
She said well I couldn't support you publicly.
1054
00:27:13.540 --> 00:27:14.369
Why not?
1055
00:27:14.780 --> 00:27:14.900
Well,
1056
00:27:14.939 --> 00:27:16.250
the unions would hate it.
1057
00:27:16.459 --> 00:27:17.050
I said I know,
1058
00:27:17.130 --> 00:27:19.619
but you've just told me that it would be transformational.
1059
00:27:20.410 --> 00:27:21.050
Um,
1060
00:27:21.250 --> 00:27:21.810
I'll never forget it,
1061
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:22.400
we're in an office,
1062
00:27:22.449 --> 00:27:24.229
you could see the state Capitol down below.
1063
00:27:24.609 --> 00:27:25.290
And this person said,
1064
00:27:25.369 --> 00:27:25.790
well.
1065
00:27:26.540 --> 00:27:28.099
The unions run this place.
1066
00:27:29.630 --> 00:27:30.310
And I'm like,
1067
00:27:30.469 --> 00:27:30.859
what,
1068
00:27:30.949 --> 00:27:33.109
you are an elected member of the legislature.
1069
00:27:33.349 --> 00:27:35.469
And so there's a real truth about all of this,
1070
00:27:35.540 --> 00:27:36.250
which is
1071
00:27:36.750 --> 00:27:40.329
that over 16 years now of one party rule completely,
1072
00:27:40.579 --> 00:27:41.979
if you actually look at the legislature,
1073
00:27:42.010 --> 00:27:43.369
it's really half a century.
1074
00:27:43.790 --> 00:27:45.689
They've just built this machine.
1075
00:27:46.349 --> 00:27:48.729
And the union and the and the unions
1076
00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:52.829
are a really important part of it because they fund the politicians,
1077
00:27:52.910 --> 00:27:53.569
they're the main,
1078
00:27:53.989 --> 00:27:54.150
they're,
1079
00:27:54.219 --> 00:27:55.550
you look at Gavin Newsom.
1080
00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:59.189
As a representative of Democrats in California generally,
1081
00:27:59.489 --> 00:28:02.489
he's been running statewide for 16 years now,
1082
00:28:02.849 --> 00:28:04.250
Lieutenant Governor then Governor.
1083
00:28:04.550 --> 00:28:04.810
You look,
1084
00:28:04.849 --> 00:28:06.410
you can analyse his donations,
1085
00:28:06.449 --> 00:28:07.290
it's all public.
1086
00:28:07.650 --> 00:28:08.140
Number one,
1087
00:28:08.290 --> 00:28:08.989
category,
1088
00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:10.089
government unions.
1089
00:28:10.329 --> 00:28:10.949
Number 2,
1090
00:28:11.369 --> 00:28:12.329
non-government unions,
1091
00:28:12.410 --> 00:28:13.569
the all this construction,
1092
00:28:13.609 --> 00:28:14.040
all this,
1093
00:28:14.369 --> 00:28:15.969
then the trial attorneys,
1094
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:16.689
lawyers.
1095
00:28:17.410 --> 00:28:18.869
So this is why
1096
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:21.109
everywhere you look.
1097
00:28:21.750 --> 00:28:21.949
I,
1098
00:28:22.069 --> 00:28:23.219
I used to run restaurants.
1099
00:28:23.390 --> 00:28:24.890
Like you run a restaurant in California,
1100
00:28:25.270 --> 00:28:26.280
chances are you're gonna be,
1101
00:28:26.430 --> 00:28:26.589
again,
1102
00:28:26.719 --> 00:28:27.750
no one knows this,
1103
00:28:28.069 --> 00:28:29.250
you're gonna be hit with
1104
00:28:29.430 --> 00:28:30.989
something called a PAGA lawsuit,
1105
00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:33.020
Private Attorney General Act.
1106
00:28:33.449 --> 00:28:34.189
What is that?
1107
00:28:34.589 --> 00:28:34.869
It's,
1108
00:28:34.949 --> 00:28:37.430
it was a law that was passed in 2004
1109
00:28:37.630 --> 00:28:38.890
that outsources
1110
00:28:39.109 --> 00:28:40.619
to to trial attorneys,
1111
00:28:40.670 --> 00:28:41.510
just lawyers,
1112
00:28:41.910 --> 00:28:44.410
the enforcement of California labour law.
1113
00:28:45.060 --> 00:28:45.219
Right,
1114
00:28:45.420 --> 00:28:46.339
instead of the government doing it,
1115
00:28:46.410 --> 00:28:47.020
lawyers doing it.
1116
00:28:47.219 --> 00:28:47.939
So what does that mean?
1117
00:28:48.180 --> 00:28:49.760
It's created a gold mine
1118
00:28:50.099 --> 00:28:50.800
for lawyers
1119
00:28:50.979 --> 00:28:52.060
to push these bullshit,
1120
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:52.660
shakedown,
1121
00:28:52.699 --> 00:28:53.750
extortionate lawsuits.
1122
00:28:53.979 --> 00:28:57.099
So you run a local restaurant and it's all these wage and hour claims.
1123
00:28:57.290 --> 00:28:58.520
It's all very specific.
1124
00:28:58.810 --> 00:29:01.479
After 5 hours you're supposed to give a half an hour break.
1125
00:29:01.780 --> 00:29:02.510
You start the they,
1126
00:29:02.939 --> 00:29:03.530
they push it,
1127
00:29:03.619 --> 00:29:05.540
they advertise on Instagram and whatever.
1128
00:29:05.780 --> 00:29:07.099
Were you denied your break?
1129
00:29:07.459 --> 00:29:09.780
Denied your break if you start 1 minute late.
1130
00:29:10.969 --> 00:29:12.449
And then even if it's 30 minutes,
1131
00:29:12.530 --> 00:29:13.599
but 1 minute late,
1132
00:29:14.040 --> 00:29:14.729
lawsuit,
1133
00:29:14.969 --> 00:29:16.119
and then um
1134
00:29:16.489 --> 00:29:18.489
they make some extravagant claim.
1135
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:21.989
And it's multiplied by the number of workers in your business
1136
00:29:22.239 --> 00:29:23.660
and so suddenly you find yourself
1137
00:29:24.040 --> 00:29:27.390
like for a claim of $3 million and you run a little local restaurant.
1138
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:28.160
So what do you do,
1139
00:29:28.199 --> 00:29:29.839
you settle cause you don't want to go through that.
1140
00:29:30.109 --> 00:29:32.660
Everybody settles you have to and you end up paying
1141
00:29:33.229 --> 00:29:34.239
$6,500,000.
1142
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:35.239
This is very normal,
1143
00:29:35.380 --> 00:29:36.020
very typical,
1144
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:38.150
just for a one I've experienced it in
1145
00:29:39.660 --> 00:29:39.979
in businesses,
1146
00:29:40.189 --> 00:29:41.380
not some chain McDonalds.
1147
00:29:41.724 --> 00:29:44.655
This is like an an independent little local restaurant,
1148
00:29:45.125 --> 00:29:45.964
65 pounds,
1149
00:29:46.405 --> 00:29:46.614
some of,
1150
00:29:46.724 --> 00:29:48.525
some of them you're paying 2 or 3 of these a year.
1151
00:29:48.805 --> 00:29:49.765
If you're a bigger business,
1152
00:29:49.805 --> 00:29:49.964
you,
1153
00:29:50.045 --> 00:29:50.385
you,
1154
00:29:50.525 --> 00:29:50.724
you,
1155
00:29:50.844 --> 00:29:52.944
you could be paying millions a year for this
1156
00:29:53.125 --> 00:29:54.935
and you actually allocate budget for it.
1157
00:29:55.204 --> 00:29:55.324
Oh,
1158
00:29:55.484 --> 00:29:55.594
we,
1159
00:29:55.694 --> 00:29:56.984
I've probably paid
1160
00:29:57.364 --> 00:29:59.175
$2.5 million and they're like,
1161
00:29:59.185 --> 00:29:59.395
oh,
1162
00:29:59.405 --> 00:30:04.224
the packaging for your supplements is too big and it goes against this regulation.
1163
00:30:04.859 --> 00:30:05.209
You're like,
1164
00:30:05.260 --> 00:30:05.459
OK,
1165
00:30:05.569 --> 00:30:06.300
how much do you want?
1166
00:30:06.479 --> 00:30:07.300
So this is literally,
1167
00:30:07.540 --> 00:30:07.660
yeah,
1168
00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:08.420
not the restaurant,
1169
00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:08.910
but I,
1170
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:08.930
I,
1171
00:30:09.060 --> 00:30:09.300
we,
1172
00:30:09.579 --> 00:30:11.589
to the point that we do everything
1173
00:30:11.819 --> 00:30:14.060
to not sell anything in California.
1174
00:30:14.180 --> 00:30:15.010
Certain businesses I,
1175
00:30:15.050 --> 00:30:16.689
I have to cross state lines on,
1176
00:30:16.739 --> 00:30:17.489
but it's like it's,
1177
00:30:17.500 --> 00:30:18.060
so that's awful.
1178
00:30:18.140 --> 00:30:20.180
So you've just said something incredibly important.
1179
00:30:20.459 --> 00:30:21.890
I pulled every business I have out of here.
1180
00:30:22.010 --> 00:30:22.180
OK,
1181
00:30:22.260 --> 00:30:23.599
so I hear that all the time.
1182
00:30:23.959 --> 00:30:24.319
I've had,
1183
00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:24.520
you know,
1184
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:25.599
business investors,
1185
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:25.829
whatever,
1186
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:26.520
these,
1187
00:30:26.569 --> 00:30:26.920
these are the,
1188
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:27.910
these are the things you hear.
1189
00:30:28.339 --> 00:30:28.579
Now
1190
00:30:29.199 --> 00:30:31.160
California is top of the don't go there list.
1191
00:30:31.199 --> 00:30:31.819
Oh hell yeah.
1192
00:30:31.959 --> 00:30:32.280
Um,
1193
00:30:32.560 --> 00:30:33.199
another person,
1194
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:35.709
if we buy a business with operations in California,
1195
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:37.430
the first thing we do is shut them down.
1196
00:30:37.500 --> 00:30:37.510
Yeah.
1197
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:38.699
And this is why
1198
00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:40.140
we have these weird,
1199
00:30:40.280 --> 00:30:40.619
this
1200
00:30:40.790 --> 00:30:42.180
thing going on right now where.
1201
00:30:42.750 --> 00:30:44.390
Gavin Newsom and my opponent Base,
1202
00:30:44.630 --> 00:30:45.349
oh things are fine,
1203
00:30:45.430 --> 00:30:47.030
we're the 4th biggest economy in the world.
1204
00:30:47.660 --> 00:30:48.319
That's true.
1205
00:30:49.030 --> 00:30:49.229
Yeah,
1206
00:30:49.630 --> 00:30:49.989
but the,
1207
00:30:50.109 --> 00:30:50.989
but at the same time,
1208
00:30:51.089 --> 00:30:51.949
we're a big economy,
1209
00:30:52.040 --> 00:30:52.949
we're the biggest in America,
1210
00:30:53.030 --> 00:30:54.030
4th biggest economy,
1211
00:30:54.349 --> 00:30:56.390
we have the highest unemployment rate
1212
00:30:56.750 --> 00:30:58.050
of all 50 states,
1213
00:30:58.430 --> 00:30:59.780
the highest poverty rate,
1214
00:31:00.010 --> 00:31:01.089
tied with Louisiana.
1215
00:31:01.589 --> 00:31:02.459
What's going on?
1216
00:31:02.790 --> 00:31:05.170
What's actually going on is we've got a tiny number
1217
00:31:05.630 --> 00:31:07.189
of giant tech companies.
1218
00:31:07.609 --> 00:31:10.160
That are just making enormous amounts of money,
1219
00:31:10.699 --> 00:31:11.060
right?
1220
00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:14.390
The rest of the economy is completely screwed.
1221
00:31:14.790 --> 00:31:15.400
And so,
1222
00:31:15.579 --> 00:31:16.979
if you're just a regular business,
1223
00:31:17.020 --> 00:31:18.020
you're trying to do manufacturing,
1224
00:31:18.089 --> 00:31:19.050
I mean I see it all the time,
1225
00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:21.689
manufacturing or farmers in the Central Valley or whatever,
1226
00:31:21.810 --> 00:31:22.010
if you,
1227
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:23.339
if you're basically not
1228
00:31:23.579 --> 00:31:24.479
some really
1229
00:31:24.979 --> 00:31:25.380
massive,
1230
00:31:25.489 --> 00:31:25.619
you know,
1231
00:31:25.660 --> 00:31:27.939
a tech company with incredible margins.
1232
00:31:28.520 --> 00:31:30.369
If you're just a regular business,
1233
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:33.739
it's impossible in California cos everything
1234
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:34.829
is layered on,
1235
00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:36.000
all these things we've talked about.
1236
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:38.430
I could go on and on and I've had so many of them,
1237
00:31:38.479 --> 00:31:39.969
it's ridiculous and and it's,
1238
00:31:40.069 --> 00:31:41.619
it's baked in
1239
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:43.459
because the interests
1240
00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:45.160
that benefit from all this,
1241
00:31:45.280 --> 00:31:47.229
the lawyers that make money from the lawsuits,
1242
00:31:47.469 --> 00:31:49.949
the unions that make money from the project labour agreements,
1243
00:31:50.199 --> 00:31:51.880
the environmental groups that get their,
1244
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:52.500
get their
1245
00:31:52.859 --> 00:31:54.119
ideology pushed through,
1246
00:31:54.479 --> 00:31:55.540
they control
1247
00:31:56.040 --> 00:31:56.939
the legislature.
1248
00:31:57.550 --> 00:32:00.089
Because they donate money to the politicians,
1249
00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:02.040
and for a state legislator
1250
00:32:02.300 --> 00:32:04.699
who's running in a district somewhere in California,
1251
00:32:04.780 --> 00:32:06.839
there are 80 members of the state assembly,
1252
00:32:07.089 --> 00:32:08.780
40 members of the state Senate,
1253
00:32:09.099 --> 00:32:09.739
they're races,
1254
00:32:09.900 --> 00:32:11.619
you don't need a lot of money to buy them.
1255
00:32:12.060 --> 00:32:13.520
We hear about money in politics,
1256
00:32:13.900 --> 00:32:14.180
you know,
1257
00:32:14.380 --> 00:32:14.969
Kamala Harris,
1258
00:32:15.020 --> 00:32:16.229
$2 billion or,
1259
00:32:16.430 --> 00:32:16.760
no,
1260
00:32:17.530 --> 00:32:19.140
$200,000 4,000,000 dollars.
1261
00:32:19.869 --> 00:32:22.319
That's gets you a long way with these people.
1262
00:32:22.709 --> 00:32:23.369
And so
1263
00:32:23.630 --> 00:32:23.949
it's,
1264
00:32:24.109 --> 00:32:25.030
they've bought
1265
00:32:25.310 --> 00:32:26.280
the legislature,
1266
00:32:26.550 --> 00:32:26.750
and,
1267
00:32:26.829 --> 00:32:29.290
and so that's been going on for decades.
1268
00:32:29.869 --> 00:32:31.050
And then what you've had
1269
00:32:31.229 --> 00:32:32.859
is Democrat governors
1270
00:32:33.109 --> 00:32:35.569
who have the same structure of financing,
1271
00:32:36.229 --> 00:32:37.790
who just go along with it
1272
00:32:37.989 --> 00:32:39.369
and don't push back.
1273
00:32:39.670 --> 00:32:41.010
And so you've had now,
1274
00:32:41.189 --> 00:32:41.469
I mean,
1275
00:32:41.510 --> 00:32:42.449
every year
1276
00:32:42.670 --> 00:32:45.030
they pass all these bills in the legislature.
1277
00:32:45.560 --> 00:32:48.150
And it advances the interests of the unions,
1278
00:32:48.239 --> 00:32:48.680
the lawyers,
1279
00:32:48.760 --> 00:32:50.180
all the people who own them.
1280
00:32:51.270 --> 00:32:53.329
And nobody pushes back.
1281
00:32:53.709 --> 00:32:54.790
We just did an event.
1282
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:57.119
We did it last year as well and this year,
1283
00:32:57.640 --> 00:32:59.199
this year's legislative session.
1284
00:33:00.089 --> 00:33:00.329
We,
1285
00:33:00.390 --> 00:33:01.170
in Sacramento,
1286
00:33:01.250 --> 00:33:01.969
we printed off,
1287
00:33:02.050 --> 00:33:02.209
they,
1288
00:33:02.410 --> 00:33:05.089
they passed 1160 bills.
1289
00:33:05.609 --> 00:33:05.969
That's the,
1290
00:33:06.010 --> 00:33:07.079
the number of bills.
1291
00:33:07.369 --> 00:33:08.750
We printed them off
1292
00:33:09.250 --> 00:33:10.469
and stacked them up.
1293
00:33:11.089 --> 00:33:12.010
And I always make the joke,
1294
00:33:12.089 --> 00:33:12.890
I'm not that tall,
1295
00:33:12.930 --> 00:33:13.829
but this was more than,
1296
00:33:14.209 --> 00:33:15.849
more than twice my height,
1297
00:33:16.170 --> 00:33:16.569
OK?
1298
00:33:17.270 --> 00:33:18.979
No one's reading this shit.
1299
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:20.650
No one's reading it,
1300
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:21.500
like,
1301
00:33:21.520 --> 00:33:21.979
because
1302
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.989
it and and do you think Gavin Newsom's reading all this?
1303
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:26.520
He's signed right now as we're,
1304
00:33:26.589 --> 00:33:27.640
as we're taping this,
1305
00:33:27.910 --> 00:33:29.140
he's in signing mode.
1306
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:29.400
Right,
1307
00:33:29.479 --> 00:33:30.359
there's two weeks where he,
1308
00:33:30.439 --> 00:33:31.579
the governor signs them,
1309
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:32.839
most of them you just signed,
1310
00:33:32.959 --> 00:33:33.119
yeah,
1311
00:33:33.280 --> 00:33:33.439
yeah,
1312
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:33.910
yeah,
1313
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:35.119
and it goes through.
1314
00:33:35.520 --> 00:33:37.160
And that's in a way.
1315
00:33:37.479 --> 00:33:40.119
The central argument for my candidacy,
1316
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:41.000
which is,
1317
00:33:41.250 --> 00:33:42.890
even if you don't believe
1318
00:33:43.170 --> 00:33:45.469
that I can deliver my promises on
1319
00:33:45.650 --> 00:33:47.109
bringing gas prices down
1320
00:33:47.609 --> 00:33:48.109
or,
1321
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:48.729
you know,
1322
00:33:48.849 --> 00:33:49.270
uh,
1323
00:33:49.290 --> 00:33:52.010
1st $150,000 tax free on electric bills,
1324
00:33:52.050 --> 00:33:53.010
which I think I can do,
1325
00:33:53.089 --> 00:33:53.349
but
1326
00:33:53.689 --> 00:33:53.930
OK,
1327
00:33:54.010 --> 00:33:54.430
whatever,
1328
00:33:54.689 --> 00:33:55.609
I'm just saying shit.
1329
00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:56.680
The,
1330
00:33:56.760 --> 00:33:58.500
the thing you know for sure
1331
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:00.670
is that I'll be a brake on all this
1332
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:02.660
because I'll veto it all,
1333
00:34:03.239 --> 00:34:03.829
all of it,
1334
00:34:04.040 --> 00:34:05.000
and I'll say I,
1335
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:08.958
and I love the thought of doing that because that's the kind of person I am.
1336
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:10.580
I can't stand
1337
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:11.438
corruption,
1338
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:12.478
bureaucracy,
1339
00:34:12.560 --> 00:34:14.020
I'm not part of this system.
1340
00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:14.969
I'm not only.
1341
00:34:15.225 --> 00:34:15.965
By anyone,
1342
00:34:16.344 --> 00:34:17.425
all the big businesses,
1343
00:34:17.543 --> 00:34:18.774
they're all supporting Becerra,
1344
00:34:18.864 --> 00:34:19.304
not me.
1345
00:34:19.543 --> 00:34:19.583
I,
1346
00:34:21.063 --> 00:34:21.625
the unions,
1347
00:34:21.705 --> 00:34:22.625
they're all supporting him,
1348
00:34:22.705 --> 00:34:23.185
the lawyers,
1349
00:34:23.774 --> 00:34:23.965
everyone,
1350
00:34:24.185 --> 00:34:29.925
he's all that because he is everything you're talking about and worse and worse.
1351
00:34:30.145 --> 00:34:33.725
We have to get to him because I don't think people comprehend.
1352
00:34:34.820 --> 00:34:36.540
How dangerous this man is.
1353
00:34:36.899 --> 00:34:37.770
I keep telling people,
1354
00:34:37.820 --> 00:34:38.090
I'm like,
1355
00:34:38.139 --> 00:34:38.899
you will beg,
1356
00:34:39.418 --> 00:34:41.438
you will beg for the days of Gavin Newsom,
1357
00:34:41.489 --> 00:34:44.418
you have no idea how bad.
1358
00:34:44.938 --> 00:34:46.520
So let's start with something
1359
00:34:46.659 --> 00:34:48.159
that I have known for roughly
1360
00:34:48.300 --> 00:34:49.379
2 years,
1361
00:34:49.620 --> 00:34:51.639
and that is the trafficking
1362
00:34:51.780 --> 00:34:53.060
of children
1363
00:34:53.219 --> 00:34:53.938
at the border.
1364
00:34:54.060 --> 00:34:57.060
I learned about this in a podcast that I did with Dr.
1365
00:34:57.219 --> 00:34:59.770
Phil Anthony Robbins and Brandon Judd,
1366
00:34:59.979 --> 00:35:01.800
who ran Border Patrol
1367
00:35:02.179 --> 00:35:03.199
2 years ago,
1368
00:35:03.649 --> 00:35:06.449
and somehow nobody knows this has happened,
1369
00:35:06.459 --> 00:35:07.040
and it is
1370
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:08.330
devastating.
1371
00:35:08.659 --> 00:35:10.860
So let's talk about this from start to finish.
1372
00:35:10.969 --> 00:35:14.750
Xavier Becerra had RFK's job at HHS,
1373
00:35:15.010 --> 00:35:16.520
and while he had that job
1374
00:35:16.739 --> 00:35:17.860
under his watch,
1375
00:35:18.139 --> 00:35:23.719
hundreds of thousands of children were trafficked to the most disgusting fate,
1376
00:35:23.969 --> 00:35:26.820
and we don't even know where tens of thousands of them are right now.
1377
00:35:26.959 --> 00:35:26.969
Yes.
1378
00:35:27.340 --> 00:35:27.969
So Steve,
1379
00:35:28.050 --> 00:35:29.239
can you explain this to people,
1380
00:35:29.379 --> 00:35:29.600
please,
1381
00:35:29.699 --> 00:35:30.919
because I got to calm down.
1382
00:35:31.580 --> 00:35:31.629
No,
1383
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:31.770
no,
1384
00:35:31.889 --> 00:35:32.350
you're right,
1385
00:35:32.540 --> 00:35:32.939
but you're right.
1386
00:35:33.020 --> 00:35:33.979
I mean calm down.
1387
00:35:34.219 --> 00:35:35.560
It's completely difficult.
1388
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:36.679
It is as evil.
1389
00:35:37.570 --> 00:35:38.169
As it gets,
1390
00:35:38.250 --> 00:35:39.870
this is like way beyond
1391
00:35:40.330 --> 00:35:41.070
union stuff.
1392
00:35:41.290 --> 00:35:42.280
This is evil.
1393
00:35:42.489 --> 00:35:43.070
Exactly.
1394
00:35:43.370 --> 00:35:43.709
Um,
1395
00:35:44.370 --> 00:35:45.209
we track our steps,
1396
00:35:45.250 --> 00:35:46.760
we crush our protein goals,
1397
00:35:47.080 --> 00:35:50.649
and we prioritise sleep because we want the absolute best for our bodies,
1398
00:35:50.729 --> 00:35:50.889
right?
1399
00:35:50.959 --> 00:35:52.750
But what about the cleaning products
1400
00:35:53.050 --> 00:35:55.360
that we spray around our homes every single day?
1401
00:35:55.689 --> 00:35:56.010
Well,
1402
00:35:56.209 --> 00:35:57.469
unlike food,
1403
00:35:57.969 --> 00:36:00.290
companies that make cleaning products aren't required
1404
00:36:00.290 --> 00:36:02.439
to list every ingredient on their labels.
1405
00:36:02.850 --> 00:36:03.260
So,
1406
00:36:03.570 --> 00:36:05.169
enter branch basics.
1407
00:36:05.489 --> 00:36:06.850
They are completely cheap.
1408
00:36:06.992 --> 00:36:10.772
Changing the game here with plant and mineral-based cleaning solutions
1409
00:36:11.113 --> 00:36:13.393
that are 100% human safe.
1410
00:36:13.472 --> 00:36:14.903
There's no synthetic fillers,
1411
00:36:15.193 --> 00:36:16.712
no artificial fragrances,
1412
00:36:16.992 --> 00:36:18.423
no hormone disruptors,
1413
00:36:18.742 --> 00:36:21.653
which makes them the perfect products for homes with
1414
00:36:21.952 --> 00:36:22.482
kids,
1415
00:36:22.663 --> 00:36:23.272
babies,
1416
00:36:23.423 --> 00:36:23.972
pets,
1417
00:36:24.113 --> 00:36:24.593
and hey,
1418
00:36:24.792 --> 00:36:25.272
guess what?
1419
00:36:25.393 --> 00:36:26.933
Your health matters too.
1420
00:36:27.433 --> 00:36:27.913
So guys,
1421
00:36:28.012 --> 00:36:30.232

And after you purchase,
1431
00:36:50.545 --> 00:36:51.926
when they ask where you heard about them,
1432
00:36:52.186 --> 00:36:54.186
please make sure to mention our show.
1433
00:36:54.989 --> 00:36:56.000
Why did this happen?
1434
00:36:56.260 --> 00:36:58.000
It goes back to the open border,
1435
00:36:58.340 --> 00:36:59.540
the open border policy.
1436
00:36:59.820 --> 00:37:00.570
So to be fair,
1437
00:37:00.739 --> 00:37:01.659
that was all of them,
1438
00:37:01.739 --> 00:37:02.459
that was Biden,
1439
00:37:02.699 --> 00:37:02.860
you know,
1440
00:37:02.899 --> 00:37:04.120
it was their ideology.
1441
00:37:04.580 --> 00:37:05.649
Open borders,
1442
00:37:06.219 --> 00:37:07.860
millions of people come into the country,
1443
00:37:07.979 --> 00:37:09.820
we all saw that Eagle Pass,
1444
00:37:09.889 --> 00:37:10.020
you know,
1445
00:37:10.300 --> 00:37:11.129
during those four years.
1446
00:37:11.530 --> 00:37:11.560
Yes.
1447
00:37:11.659 --> 00:37:12.040
So
1448
00:37:12.540 --> 00:37:13.159
the estimate,
1449
00:37:13.260 --> 00:37:14.100
no one knows for sure,
1450
00:37:14.179 --> 00:37:16.060
but like is it 11 million that came in,
1451
00:37:16.100 --> 00:37:16.449
whatever,
1452
00:37:16.610 --> 00:37:17.760
1414,
1453
00:37:18.340 --> 00:37:18.939
I've millions of,
1454
00:37:19.090 --> 00:37:20.060
of people came across the world,
1455
00:37:20.139 --> 00:37:20.780
we all know that,
1456
00:37:20.820 --> 00:37:21.560
we saw that.
1457
00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:22.330
Uh,
1458
00:37:22.340 --> 00:37:23.290
included in that
1459
00:37:23.620 --> 00:37:24.080
were
1460
00:37:24.250 --> 00:37:26.040
hundreds of thousands of children
1461
00:37:26.500 --> 00:37:27.699
who were unaccompanied,
1462
00:37:28.020 --> 00:37:28.340
um.
1463
00:37:28.830 --> 00:37:31.129
And they were unaccompanied because either
1464
00:37:31.429 --> 00:37:33.120
they were older children
1465
00:37:33.229 --> 00:37:35.290
who actually went on their own
1466
00:37:35.500 --> 00:37:38.030
because they saw the open border and you're a 15 year old,
1467
00:37:38.110 --> 00:37:38.750
sixteen-year-old,
1468
00:37:38.820 --> 00:37:39.510
17 year old,
1469
00:37:39.830 --> 00:37:40.469
still a child,
1470
00:37:40.570 --> 00:37:41.179
but you know,
1471
00:37:41.229 --> 00:37:43.389
you actually did go on your own and you saw a
1472
00:37:43.389 --> 00:37:45.610
convoy or a caravan and you just made the journey.
1473
00:37:45.780 --> 00:37:45.790
Yeah.
1474
00:37:46.030 --> 00:37:47.540
But the majority were not that,
1475
00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:49.169
the majority were either
1476
00:37:49.949 --> 00:37:50.969
little kids
1477
00:37:51.550 --> 00:37:53.050
where the parents
1478
00:37:53.350 --> 00:37:54.889
paid a people smuggler,
1479
00:37:55.189 --> 00:37:55.860
so that was
1480
00:37:56.110 --> 00:37:56.929
in a sense.
1481
00:37:57.639 --> 00:37:58.500
You could say
1482
00:37:58.959 --> 00:38:01.040
good intentions on the part of the parent,
1483
00:38:01.080 --> 00:38:02.429
they want their kids to have a better life,
1484
00:38:02.479 --> 00:38:03.669
they saw the borders open.
1485
00:38:03.959 --> 00:38:06.340
There's maybe some relatives somewhere in America
1486
00:38:06.669 --> 00:38:08.439
that they can loosely get their kid to and
1487
00:38:08.439 --> 00:38:10.449
maybe they'll have an amazing to the parents too,
1488
00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:11.070
they tell them,
1489
00:38:11.080 --> 00:38:13.179
oh we're gonna sign your kid up for a soccer league,
1490
00:38:13.550 --> 00:38:16.080
so really they're sending them to like a chicken farm.
1491
00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:18.080
But of course all of that became a business,
1492
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:18.919
exactly as you say.
1493
00:38:19.080 --> 00:38:20.070
Because the people smugglers,
1494
00:38:20.110 --> 00:38:20.889
the cartels
1495
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:21.840
spotted that,
1496
00:38:21.879 --> 00:38:23.159
exploited the parents' desire,
1497
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:24.620
so some of it was
1498
00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:26.840
probably legitimately the parents,
1499
00:38:26.919 --> 00:38:27.120
you know,
1500
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:28.760
proactively chose to do it,
1501
00:38:29.040 --> 00:38:30.620
but most was not.
1502
00:38:30.959 --> 00:38:31.270
Whatever,
1503
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:32.590
those are the different categories.
1504
00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:33.739
You end up with
1505
00:38:34.120 --> 00:38:35.709
total over the four years,
1506
00:38:35.959 --> 00:38:38.239
this is the actual number cos it's recorded,
1507
00:38:38.419 --> 00:38:42.040
479,000 unaccompanied children,
1508
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:43.439
nearly half a million
1509
00:38:44.120 --> 00:38:44.719
across the border,
1510
00:38:44.879 --> 00:38:46.830
not all in one go over the four years,
1511
00:38:47.479 --> 00:38:47.879
um.
1512
00:38:49.010 --> 00:38:50.860
That was an enormous number,
1513
00:38:51.260 --> 00:38:53.120
totally overwhelmed the system.
1514
00:38:53.580 --> 00:38:56.000
And so now the way the system works is
1515
00:38:56.179 --> 00:38:57.729
the adults that come across at 11,
1516
00:38:57.739 --> 00:38:57.939
4,
1517
00:38:58.050 --> 00:38:58.290
they're,
1518
00:38:58.580 --> 00:38:58.850
you know,
1519
00:38:59.060 --> 00:39:00.300
uh Homeland Security,
1520
00:39:00.419 --> 00:39:01.050
border patrol,
1521
00:39:01.100 --> 00:39:01.620
etc.
1522
00:39:01.939 --> 00:39:02.760
The specific
1523
00:39:03.020 --> 00:39:04.760
responsibility for the kids
1524
00:39:04.899 --> 00:39:06.020
is HHS.
1525
00:39:06.770 --> 00:39:08.169
But um Bacera's department,
1526
00:39:08.250 --> 00:39:09.570
that's how the system works.
1527
00:39:09.929 --> 00:39:11.110
He was responsible.
1528
00:39:11.570 --> 00:39:12.090
Where do the,
1529
00:39:12.169 --> 00:39:13.370
where do you put these kids?
1530
00:39:13.649 --> 00:39:15.030
There's nowhere to put them,
1531
00:39:15.370 --> 00:39:17.629
so they create these temporary
1532
00:39:17.929 --> 00:39:18.449
camps.
1533
00:39:19.110 --> 00:39:19.830
And he was,
1534
00:39:19.949 --> 00:39:20.870
there's he he was,
1535
00:39:20.909 --> 00:39:23.010
he was literally phoning people up
1536
00:39:23.229 --> 00:39:26.580
like there's a famous story of a pastor in Houston where he said,
1537
00:39:26.590 --> 00:39:27.909
you've got a big warehouse,
1538
00:39:27.979 --> 00:39:28.419
don't you?
1539
00:39:28.669 --> 00:39:30.489
Can I use it to put some kids in?
1540
00:39:30.669 --> 00:39:30.830
You know,
1541
00:39:30.870 --> 00:39:31.830
that's what was going on.
1542
00:39:31.909 --> 00:39:34.949
He said he wanted it to run like a Ford assembly line to
1543
00:39:34.949 --> 00:39:38.750
get the kids out and into whatever address was written on them.
1544
00:39:39.270 --> 00:39:41.020
I mean I haven't looked at all what we know,
1545
00:39:41.050 --> 00:39:43.389
there were 3 of these camps in California.
1546
00:39:43.889 --> 00:39:45.610
In the San Diego Convention,
1547
00:39:45.770 --> 00:39:47.280
remember this is COVID to start with,
1548
00:39:47.570 --> 00:39:49.250
San Diego Convention centre,
1549
00:39:49.770 --> 00:39:50.169
um,
1550
00:39:50.340 --> 00:39:51.949
and in Long Beach
1551
00:39:52.090 --> 00:39:53.169
and in Pomona,
1552
00:39:53.560 --> 00:39:53.770
right,
1553
00:39:53.850 --> 00:39:54.239
um,
1554
00:39:54.489 --> 00:39:57.290
and in Pomona at the at the Fairgross,
1555
00:39:57.530 --> 00:39:58.649
it's called the Fairplex.
1556
00:39:59.040 --> 00:40:00.010
It's big halls,
1557
00:40:00.090 --> 00:40:01.250
convention centre type like,
1558
00:40:01.570 --> 00:40:02.969
full of cots of kids,
1559
00:40:03.050 --> 00:40:03.250
you know,
1560
00:40:03.290 --> 00:40:03.649
like.
1561
00:40:05.020 --> 00:40:05.750
Totally overwhelmed,
1562
00:40:05.790 --> 00:40:09.149
like there's been like an earthquake or something and everyone's just there.
1563
00:40:09.629 --> 00:40:10.449
So then,
1564
00:40:10.909 --> 00:40:11.580
what happens,
1565
00:40:11.790 --> 00:40:12.989
there's a process
1566
00:40:13.389 --> 00:40:13.870
where
1567
00:40:14.270 --> 00:40:17.429
these kids are supposed to get to somewhere safe,
1568
00:40:17.629 --> 00:40:18.850
and it's his responsibility,
1569
00:40:18.909 --> 00:40:22.830
it's called the Office of Refugee Resettlement within the HHS
1570
00:40:23.110 --> 00:40:24.570
that is supposed to make sure
1571
00:40:24.949 --> 00:40:26.489
that a kid ends up with
1572
00:40:26.830 --> 00:40:27.260
either who,
1573
00:40:27.350 --> 00:40:28.110
whoever it's supposed to be,
1574
00:40:28.250 --> 00:40:29.770
er either a family member
1575
00:40:29.939 --> 00:40:31.969
or a sponsor who's been vetted,
1576
00:40:32.229 --> 00:40:34.010
or a foster parent or something.
1577
00:40:35.010 --> 00:40:37.689
There was a whole set of processes in place.
1578
00:40:38.649 --> 00:40:39.449
But Sarah.
1579
00:40:40.409 --> 00:40:40.429
The these
1580
00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:43.209
these camps were open to the media.
1581
00:40:43.479 --> 00:40:44.590
They were not good.
1582
00:40:44.919 --> 00:40:46.239
You had really bad,
1583
00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:47.659
ugly reports of
1584
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:50.550
assault happening in the camps,
1585
00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:51.760
the older kids,
1586
00:40:51.820 --> 00:40:53.340
like a 17 year old
1587
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:55.620
I imagine a 17 year old
1588
00:40:55.840 --> 00:40:57.889
MS-13 gang member
1589
00:40:58.419 --> 00:40:58.899
boy.
1590
00:40:59.199 --> 00:40:59.520
Yeah.
1591
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:01.370
assaulting a little,
1592
00:41:01.570 --> 00:41:02.399
that was going on.
1593
00:41:02.729 --> 00:41:04.489
There were reports that the food was terrible,
1594
00:41:04.649 --> 00:41:05.870
just bad conditions
1595
00:41:06.010 --> 00:41:06.610
in these camps.
1596
00:41:06.729 --> 00:41:07.530
He's responsible.
1597
00:41:07.750 --> 00:41:09.669
Remember they'd spent 4 years demonising
1598
00:41:10.010 --> 00:41:11.879
President Trump over kids in cages.
1599
00:41:12.129 --> 00:41:13.820
This was like Obama's cages,
1600
00:41:14.169 --> 00:41:14.989
but this is like
1601
00:41:15.169 --> 00:41:17.229
on a massively bigger scale,
1602
00:41:17.770 --> 00:41:18.000
right?
1603
00:41:18.169 --> 00:41:18.610
So he's,
1604
00:41:18.770 --> 00:41:19.090
so this,
1605
00:41:19.169 --> 00:41:22.149
this is the important point I always try and explain in terms of motivation
1606
00:41:22.810 --> 00:41:23.250
because people say,
1607
00:41:23.330 --> 00:41:25.649
well why would Becerra do something like this?
1608
00:41:25.979 --> 00:41:25.989
Because
1609
00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:29.879
he put his own political career first,
1610
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:31.280
because that's who he is,
1611
00:41:31.479 --> 00:41:32.679
a career politician,
1612
00:41:32.949 --> 00:41:34.760
36 years career politician,
1613
00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:35.760
that's all he's ever done,
1614
00:41:36.080 --> 00:41:39.439
and he didn't like the optics of these kids in these camps.
1615
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:40.350
So it was like,
1616
00:41:40.370 --> 00:41:40.959
get them out,
1617
00:41:41.080 --> 00:41:41.790
get them out.
1618
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:43.840
And that's where the assembly line thing comes,
1619
00:41:43.919 --> 00:41:45.250
this is him on video saying,
1620
00:41:45.879 --> 00:41:46.439
complaining
1621
00:41:46.719 --> 00:41:47.979
about how slowly
1622
00:41:48.080 --> 00:41:49.639
these camps were being cleared.
1623
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:50.909
And he said,
1624
00:41:51.060 --> 00:41:51.750
that's not,
1625
00:41:51.929 --> 00:41:52.520
this is not,
1626
00:41:52.620 --> 00:41:53.530
this is a quote,
1627
00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:55.649
this is not how you do an assembly line.
1628
00:41:55.969 --> 00:41:57.840
If Henry Ford had done it like this,
1629
00:41:58.010 --> 00:41:59.810
he would never have become rich and famous.
1630
00:42:00.250 --> 00:42:00.929
That's a quote.
1631
00:42:01.370 --> 00:42:04.360
And now we have whistleblowers from inside the camps,
1632
00:42:04.610 --> 00:42:05.110
specifically,
1633
00:42:05.290 --> 00:42:05.649
and we,
1634
00:42:05.770 --> 00:42:05.959
you know,
1635
00:42:06.050 --> 00:42:07.500
who who approached us
1636
00:42:08.010 --> 00:42:09.459
because they are horrified
1637
00:42:09.689 --> 00:42:11.469
by the prospect that this guy
1638
00:42:11.810 --> 00:42:12.649
could become governor.
1639
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:14.409
This is not the way you do an assembly line.
1640
00:42:14.699 --> 00:42:18.010
This was very upsetting to some of the staff and some even sent
1641
00:42:18.010 --> 00:42:20.649
a letter all the way to the bosses at the agency saying,
1642
00:42:20.770 --> 00:42:22.719
we don't think that this is safe for kids.
1643
00:42:23.090 --> 00:42:25.570
We think we're releasing them to people who might traffic them.
1644
00:42:25.810 --> 00:42:26.229
Wow.
1645
00:42:26.489 --> 00:42:27.570
It's simple math.
1646
00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:29.879
It's it's addition and subtraction.
1647
00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:34.219
We actually got access to a recording of an internal meeting
1648
00:42:34.520 --> 00:42:38.979
where Secretary Javier Becerra is berating staff for moving too slowly.
1649
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:39.540
If,
1650
00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:42.070
if Henry Ford had seen this in his plants,
1651
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:44.570
he would have never become famous and rich.
1652
00:42:45.709 --> 00:42:47.500
This is not the way you do an assembly line.
1653
00:42:47.860 --> 00:42:51.610
He's telling staff something that we're told he often would say,
1654
00:42:51.739 --> 00:42:52.209
which is,
1655
00:42:52.300 --> 00:42:54.439
you need to move this like an assembly line.
1656
00:42:54.580 --> 00:42:56.379
We need to get discharges up.
1657
00:42:56.739 --> 00:43:00.159
Every time we have to go to the hill and explain why we're spending so much money.
1658
00:43:00.580 --> 00:43:02.580
When most people are struggling to spend a little bit
1659
00:43:02.580 --> 00:43:04.260
of money for their kids on a daily basis,
1660
00:43:04.340 --> 00:43:07.360
we try to explain how we're spending more than $1000 a day
1661
00:43:07.540 --> 00:43:09.159
for kids who may not even have the
1662
00:43:09.340 --> 00:43:10.300
legal right to be here.
1663
00:43:10.540 --> 00:43:10.659
Well,
1664
00:43:10.810 --> 00:43:11.540
what they did was,
1665
00:43:11.699 --> 00:43:12.330
was he said,
1666
00:43:12.500 --> 00:43:13.850
I don't care where you send them,
1667
00:43:14.139 --> 00:43:14.780
get them out.
1668
00:43:15.139 --> 00:43:15.510
And they,
1669
00:43:15.620 --> 00:43:17.129
and so they were,
1670
00:43:17.260 --> 00:43:18.810
and when someone complained,
1671
00:43:19.100 --> 00:43:19.719
for example,
1672
00:43:20.300 --> 00:43:20.649
that
1673
00:43:20.820 --> 00:43:21.439
wait a minute,
1674
00:43:21.659 --> 00:43:23.520
we've just sent 200 kids
1675
00:43:23.820 --> 00:43:25.000
to one address
1676
00:43:25.219 --> 00:43:26.739
that was a container.
1677
00:43:27.409 --> 00:43:27.889
Place,
1678
00:43:28.050 --> 00:43:28.520
storage,
1679
00:43:29.010 --> 00:43:30.800
though it's obviously a front for traffickers,
1680
00:43:31.090 --> 00:43:32.610
that person was fired.
1681
00:43:32.889 --> 00:43:33.770
Another story,
1682
00:43:34.290 --> 00:43:34.669
they were,
1683
00:43:34.750 --> 00:43:35.489
they gave the kid,
1684
00:43:35.610 --> 00:43:37.870
now we also have testimony from some of the kids,
1685
00:43:38.629 --> 00:43:39.969
talking about what happened to them,
1686
00:43:40.209 --> 00:43:41.389
how they were put on a plane
1687
00:43:41.850 --> 00:43:42.310
and
1688
00:43:42.530 --> 00:43:44.070
sent to somewhere out of,
1689
00:43:44.179 --> 00:43:44.330
you know,
1690
00:43:44.409 --> 00:43:45.610
from from Pomona
1691
00:43:45.959 --> 00:43:47.010
to Florida,
1692
00:43:47.129 --> 00:43:49.000
3 guys picked her up at the airport,
1693
00:43:49.250 --> 00:43:50.229
took her to this place,
1694
00:43:50.290 --> 00:43:50.550
I mean,
1695
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:52.110
she had to sleep on the floor,
1696
00:43:52.530 --> 00:43:53.719
in the room with 4 men.
1697
00:43:53.959 --> 00:43:54.439
You know,
1698
00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:56.479
they'd get in bed with her when she was drunk,
1699
00:43:56.879 --> 00:43:59.860
they worked her like 7 days a week from morning till night,
1700
00:44:00.010 --> 00:44:00.560
including Christmas,
1701
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:01.459
which is disgusting.
1702
00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:02.320
And this is the,
1703
00:44:02.399 --> 00:44:03.629
those are the better stories,
1704
00:44:03.879 --> 00:44:04.189
right?
1705
00:44:04.489 --> 00:44:04.909
And
1706
00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:05.479
when,
1707
00:44:05.520 --> 00:44:06.590
and this is the,
1708
00:44:06.600 --> 00:44:06.959
one of the,
1709
00:44:07.060 --> 00:44:08.379
just the details of this,
1710
00:44:08.879 --> 00:44:10.500
they were all given paperwork,
1711
00:44:10.889 --> 00:44:13.060
and at the bottom of the paperwork was a
1712
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:13.800
phone number,
1713
00:44:13.879 --> 00:44:14.620
a hotline.
1714
00:44:14.959 --> 00:44:18.219
If you're concerned about being trafficked to phone this number.
1715
00:44:18.760 --> 00:44:20.120
One of the whistleblowers said,
1716
00:44:20.590 --> 00:44:24.530
They found out that there were 65,000 unanswered calls
1717
00:44:24.790 --> 00:44:25.870
left on that hotline.
1718
00:44:26.080 --> 00:44:26.820
Imagine that,
1719
00:44:27.030 --> 00:44:27.729
you're a little kid,
1720
00:44:28.350 --> 00:44:28.709
you,
1721
00:44:28.909 --> 00:44:29.100
you,
1722
00:44:29.189 --> 00:44:30.689
you're in a totally new country,
1723
00:44:30.939 --> 00:44:34.020
you thought you were coming to see your Aunt Mary and wherever it is,
1724
00:44:34.350 --> 00:44:36.290
and your mum had told you this is a nice,
1725
00:44:36.510 --> 00:44:37.590
you're gonna have a great future,
1726
00:44:37.629 --> 00:44:38.669
you're gonna go to America,
1727
00:44:38.709 --> 00:44:39.739
it's gonna be beautiful,
1728
00:44:39.949 --> 00:44:41.860
and your auntie lives in this nice house and,
1729
00:44:42.070 --> 00:44:42.979
and instead of that,
1730
00:44:43.189 --> 00:44:45.370
you're in the clutches of some evil.
1731
00:44:46.310 --> 00:44:46.909
I mean I just,
1732
00:44:47.179 --> 00:44:48.820
and then and then you evil as it gets,
1733
00:44:48.830 --> 00:44:49.010
right,
1734
00:44:49.020 --> 00:44:51.449
and then it's so dark like we have to be careful talking
1735
00:44:51.590 --> 00:44:51.909
about it.
1736
00:44:52.030 --> 00:44:53.629
I know how evil it is then imagine
1737
00:44:54.149 --> 00:44:54.770
just to think,
1738
00:44:54.790 --> 00:44:56.939
you know you've got this paperwork and the
1739
00:44:56.939 --> 00:44:59.290
government and you know you trust adults and whatever
1740
00:44:59.429 --> 00:45:02.290
and they oh phone this number and you're just on the phone phoning
1741
00:45:02.429 --> 00:45:03.850
and phoning and phoning
1742
00:45:03.989 --> 00:45:05.070
and no one answers
1743
00:45:05.310 --> 00:45:06.830
and the and it's just so.
1744
00:45:07.500 --> 00:45:08.610
And and
1745
00:45:08.870 --> 00:45:09.310
and
1746
00:45:09.550 --> 00:45:10.800
and the worst thing is
1747
00:45:11.100 --> 00:45:12.949
all of this was known at the time,
1748
00:45:13.300 --> 00:45:13.459
when,
1749
00:45:13.500 --> 00:45:15.620
and it was all sent upwards to him
1750
00:45:15.939 --> 00:45:17.620
and there's another whistleblower that we,
1751
00:45:17.699 --> 00:45:19.550
that came forward who actually ran
1752
00:45:20.020 --> 00:45:22.030
the transportation of the kids
1753
00:45:22.139 --> 00:45:23.260
who were contractor,
1754
00:45:23.540 --> 00:45:25.449
and his testimony's all out there now,
1755
00:45:25.659 --> 00:45:27.300
the San Diego facility,
1756
00:45:27.590 --> 00:45:28.139
his job,
1757
00:45:28.219 --> 00:45:28.780
he was hired,
1758
00:45:28.860 --> 00:45:30.790
he'd he's ex-CIA ex-military,
1759
00:45:31.139 --> 00:45:31.840
seen everything.
1760
00:45:32.260 --> 00:45:32.679
And
1761
00:45:32.860 --> 00:45:37.669
his job was to run the operation of transporting the kids
1762
00:45:37.979 --> 00:45:39.080
to where they were going,
1763
00:45:39.419 --> 00:45:39.899
and
1764
00:45:40.179 --> 00:45:41.620
after a few weeks,
1765
00:45:41.820 --> 00:45:42.699
he was like so,
1766
00:45:42.780 --> 00:45:44.020
he said his agents,
1767
00:45:44.340 --> 00:45:45.899
these are like serious guy,
1768
00:45:45.979 --> 00:45:46.290
you know,
1769
00:45:46.580 --> 00:45:48.739
coming back incredibly disturbed
1770
00:45:49.060 --> 00:45:49.620
because they were,
1771
00:45:49.659 --> 00:45:53.199
they were taking kids on flights or buses or whatever
1772
00:45:53.340 --> 00:45:56.399
and handing them over at airport parking lots
1773
00:45:56.620 --> 00:45:57.169
into the,
1774
00:45:57.179 --> 00:45:57.919
to people
1775
00:45:58.070 --> 00:46:00.239
that that the agency had said was fine.
1776
00:46:00.739 --> 00:46:03.540
And the kids were screaming and terrified and crying.
1777
00:46:03.820 --> 00:46:04.979
They'd never heard of these people,
1778
00:46:05.060 --> 00:46:06.100
they didn't know who they were.
1779
00:46:06.419 --> 00:46:06.850
You had,
1780
00:46:07.139 --> 00:46:07.330
you know,
1781
00:46:07.459 --> 00:46:12.199
Ukrainian or children or obviously white European children being handed over to
1782
00:46:12.399 --> 00:46:12.889
Latinos,
1783
00:46:12.939 --> 00:46:13.870
there's obviously no connect
1784
00:46:14.100 --> 00:46:14.379
all of the,
1785
00:46:14.419 --> 00:46:16.780
and his own agents were saying this is not right,
1786
00:46:16.820 --> 00:46:17.500
boss.
1787
00:46:17.820 --> 00:46:18.250
And
1788
00:46:18.659 --> 00:46:18.939
again,
1789
00:46:18.979 --> 00:46:19.179
he,
1790
00:46:19.260 --> 00:46:21.120
he tried to send it up the chain
1791
00:46:21.340 --> 00:46:22.780
and he's got emails where he's and.
1792
00:46:23.919 --> 00:46:24.550
They knew,
1793
00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:25.439
they knew.
1794
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:26.959
Of course they knew.
1795
00:46:27.020 --> 00:46:27.830
And they did it anyway,
1796
00:46:27.879 --> 00:46:30.449
it's so and they got rid of all the checks,
1797
00:46:30.479 --> 00:46:31.110
as you said,
1798
00:46:31.120 --> 00:46:31.959
because it would take too long,
1799
00:46:32.040 --> 00:46:32.179
like,
1800
00:46:32.189 --> 00:46:32.360
oh,
1801
00:46:32.399 --> 00:46:33.399
let's do a DNA test,
1802
00:46:33.479 --> 00:46:34.520
oh let's do fingerprinting.
1803
00:46:34.750 --> 00:46:35.709
They didn't track any of them,
1804
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:37.860
they got rid of all of it.
1805
00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:38.659
And
1806
00:46:38.949 --> 00:46:41.070
I cannot believe this man has gotten away with that.
1807
00:46:41.239 --> 00:46:41.830
Not only that,
1808
00:46:42.020 --> 00:46:42.120
do you,
1809
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:43.879
I'm sure you know this,
1810
00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:47.969
but it's funny because in my line of work everybody attacks RFK.
1811
00:46:48.709 --> 00:46:49.120
And I go,
1812
00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:49.550
you know,
1813
00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:50.030
it,
1814
00:46:50.120 --> 00:46:51.320
it might be helpful,
1815
00:46:51.790 --> 00:46:54.179
helpful for you to take a pause on RFK for a moment
1816
00:46:54.399 --> 00:46:56.600
and look at who previously held his position.
1817
00:46:56.679 --> 00:46:57.340
Do you realise
1818
00:46:57.679 --> 00:46:59.239
that Xavier Becerra.
1819
00:47:00.070 --> 00:47:01.260
Tried to remove
1820
00:47:01.790 --> 00:47:05.120
all age restrictions on sex changes for children,
1821
00:47:05.560 --> 00:47:06.280
because they love,
1822
00:47:06.379 --> 00:47:06.629
by the way,
1823
00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:08.070
all the people who are for this are like,
1824
00:47:08.080 --> 00:47:08.239
well,
1825
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:10.719
they don't start the puberty blockers until 9.
1826
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:11.080
I'm like,
1827
00:47:11.120 --> 00:47:11.600
oh
1828
00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:12.520
good,
1829
00:47:12.820 --> 00:47:14.699
we don't chemically castrate children.
1830
00:47:15.104 --> 00:47:15.745
Until they're 9,
1831
00:47:15.824 --> 00:47:16.465
that's wonderful.
1832
00:47:16.745 --> 00:47:17.725
You're going to remove
1833
00:47:18.145 --> 00:47:18.745
it for surgery.
1834
00:47:18.824 --> 00:47:19.054
They're like,
1835
00:47:19.104 --> 00:47:19.185
well,
1836
00:47:19.225 --> 00:47:21.564
they don't usually start chopping off boobs and
1837
00:47:21.784 --> 00:47:23.665
penises until like 16.
1838
00:47:23.915 --> 00:47:24.705
0 good.
1839
00:47:24.905 --> 00:47:25.705
So what are we saying?
1840
00:47:25.784 --> 00:47:26.344
5?
1841
00:47:26.584 --> 00:47:27.864
Are you saying 56?
1842
00:47:28.104 --> 00:47:29.385
Like this is crazy.
1843
00:47:29.645 --> 00:47:30.114
Steve.
1844
00:47:30.745 --> 00:47:32.975
I wake up every day and I'm like,
1845
00:47:33.235 --> 00:47:33.675
what?
1846
00:47:34.590 --> 00:47:35.500
World am I living in?
1847
00:47:35.590 --> 00:47:38.250
I know and you think this man is going to run California.?
1848
00:47:38.270 --> 00:47:38.679
It's crazy,
1849
00:47:38.750 --> 00:47:39.340
but the other thing,
1850
00:47:39.709 --> 00:47:40.070
he's the,
1851
00:47:40.229 --> 00:47:40.909
he's the devil,
1852
00:47:41.030 --> 00:47:41.270
Steve,
1853
00:47:41.370 --> 00:47:41.790
like I'm not,
1854
00:47:41.860 --> 00:47:43.169
it's not hyperbolic.
1855
00:47:43.790 --> 00:47:44.889
There's evil here.
1856
00:47:45.310 --> 00:47:45.429
Well,
1857
00:47:45.590 --> 00:47:46.010
I'm sorry,
1858
00:47:46.070 --> 00:47:47.580
I I don't speak like this,
1859
00:47:47.649 --> 00:47:48.810
but I just think this is,
1860
00:47:48.949 --> 00:47:49.429
I'm like,
1861
00:47:49.469 --> 00:47:49.649
I,
1862
00:47:49.709 --> 00:47:49.830
I,
1863
00:47:49.909 --> 00:47:51.469
I'm desperate for people to know this,
1864
00:47:51.590 --> 00:47:52.439
this is so scary.
1865
00:47:52.500 --> 00:47:54.989
But it's crazy because we've been really telling this story,
1866
00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:55.419
right,
1867
00:47:55.540 --> 00:47:57.010
and for some reason
1868
00:47:57.389 --> 00:47:58.449
it just
1869
00:47:58.909 --> 00:48:00.889
cos it's completely disqualifying.
1870
00:48:01.030 --> 00:48:01.729
And actually.
1871
00:48:02.010 --> 00:48:06.830
The thing that I always say about it is in terms of the migrant kids scandal
1872
00:48:07.050 --> 00:48:07.560
is.
1873
00:48:08.689 --> 00:48:09.159
OK,
1874
00:48:09.449 --> 00:48:10.100
even if,
1875
00:48:10.219 --> 00:48:11.300
I mean there's no excuse for it at all,
1876
00:48:11.379 --> 00:48:12.699
but even if you say whatever,
1877
00:48:12.780 --> 00:48:13.989
it was a difficult time,
1878
00:48:14.060 --> 00:48:14.459
they're bored,
1879
00:48:14.540 --> 00:48:15.060
overwhelmed,
1880
00:48:15.139 --> 00:48:15.530
whatever,
1881
00:48:15.820 --> 00:48:16.459
it doesn't matter.
1882
00:48:17.370 --> 00:48:19.590
What it tells you something about his character,
1883
00:48:19.850 --> 00:48:20.120
right,
1884
00:48:20.370 --> 00:48:21.189
that someone
1885
00:48:21.810 --> 00:48:22.229
would
1886
00:48:22.850 --> 00:48:23.399
do that,
1887
00:48:23.570 --> 00:48:26.129
would put their own political career in it,
1888
00:48:26.219 --> 00:48:27.389
that's why he did it.
1889
00:48:27.610 --> 00:48:27.850
I,
1890
00:48:27.889 --> 00:48:28.169
I,
1891
00:48:28.250 --> 00:48:28.570
I,
1892
00:48:28.610 --> 00:48:29.790
I don't believe
1893
00:48:29.969 --> 00:48:31.050
that he wanted.
1894
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:33.199
Girls to be
1895
00:48:33.679 --> 00:48:34.020
by
1896
00:48:34.399 --> 00:48:35.300
people that
1897
00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:37.600
that they ended up being sent to by his department.
1898
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:38.040
I don't,
1899
00:48:38.189 --> 00:48:39.379
but I'm not saying that.
1900
00:48:39.679 --> 00:48:41.729
But the fact that he wanna know what I'm saying,
1901
00:48:41.800 --> 00:48:42.320
I'll be honest.
1902
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:42.429
Well,
1903
00:48:42.469 --> 00:48:42.979
I would say that,
1904
00:48:43.080 --> 00:48:45.020
it tells you something about his character
1905
00:48:45.560 --> 00:48:45.909
that,
1906
00:48:46.120 --> 00:48:49.239
and this is what you're really voting did lobby for those sex changes for kids.
1907
00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:49.790
That's true.
1908
00:48:50.110 --> 00:48:50.199
No,
1909
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:50.560
very much,
1910
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:51.709
I mean this is what Bobby says now.
1911
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:52.280
I know he wants,
1912
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:53.320
I have the paperwork.
1913
00:48:53.399 --> 00:48:53.439
No,
1914
00:48:53.520 --> 00:48:53.679
he did,
1915
00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:56.090
and Bobby's very clear about it into the show.
1916
00:48:56.199 --> 00:48:57.580
I this is a fact.
1917
00:48:58.040 --> 00:48:58.949
Main priority.
1918
00:48:59.399 --> 00:48:59.969
That's what Bobby,
1919
00:49:00.120 --> 00:49:01.040
Bobby's there now and he's,
1920
00:49:01.090 --> 00:49:01.949
he looks at what
1921
00:49:02.090 --> 00:49:03.159
you can see what he did.
1922
00:49:03.449 --> 00:49:05.429
And he said the two big things
1923
00:49:05.689 --> 00:49:06.949
that he pushed for
1924
00:49:07.090 --> 00:49:08.149
as Health secretary
1925
00:49:08.929 --> 00:49:10.409
proactively pushed for
1926
00:49:10.639 --> 00:49:12.370
with what you're just talking about in terms of
1927
00:49:12.649 --> 00:49:13.929
the surgeries and
1928
00:49:14.209 --> 00:49:15.830
um massively expanding
1929
00:49:16.169 --> 00:49:17.889
Medicaid enrollment and all of that.
1930
00:49:18.169 --> 00:49:20.620
And that's a whole other part of this that we haven't talked about,
1931
00:49:20.850 --> 00:49:21.350
which is
1932
00:49:21.530 --> 00:49:22.570
we now have this all this.
1933
00:49:22.669 --> 00:49:23.010
This
1934
00:49:24.050 --> 00:49:27.669
extraordinary scale of fraud that's become uncovered,
1935
00:49:27.989 --> 00:49:28.330
like
1936
00:49:28.669 --> 00:49:30.080
billions and billions of dollars.
1937
00:49:30.310 --> 00:49:32.959
Supposedly we make Minneapolis look like child's right,
1938
00:49:33.030 --> 00:49:34.030
and this fraud,
1939
00:49:34.310 --> 00:49:36.370
most of the fraud that we're talking about
1940
00:49:36.500 --> 00:49:37.649
that's being uncovered
1941
00:49:37.830 --> 00:49:38.750
is in Medicaid.
1942
00:49:38.870 --> 00:49:39.669
That's where it is,
1943
00:49:39.790 --> 00:49:40.330
that's the
1944
00:49:40.590 --> 00:49:41.590
area where it's,
1945
00:49:41.750 --> 00:49:42.810
where it's been happening.
1946
00:49:43.149 --> 00:49:43.459
And,
1947
00:49:43.550 --> 00:49:47.129
and the largest part of that is California because we're the biggest state.
1948
00:49:47.989 --> 00:49:48.310
He,
1949
00:49:48.459 --> 00:49:49.159
Becerra,
1950
00:49:49.389 --> 00:49:51.270
like one of the first things he did.
1951
00:49:51.750 --> 00:49:53.100
At that department,
1952
00:49:53.540 --> 00:49:55.250
there was a fraud unit there
1953
00:49:55.479 --> 00:49:56.659
with 80 people in it.
1954
00:49:57.409 --> 00:49:58.219
He dismantled it,
1955
00:49:58.300 --> 00:49:58.889
he fired them.
1956
00:49:59.520 --> 00:50:01.040
Like he fired 76 of them.
1957
00:50:01.260 --> 00:50:02.159
That's the first thing.
1958
00:50:02.500 --> 00:50:03.250
Second thing,
1959
00:50:03.500 --> 00:50:05.040
he changed the policy
1960
00:50:05.209 --> 00:50:06.070
at HHS.
1961
00:50:06.399 --> 00:50:07.399
It used to be
1962
00:50:07.540 --> 00:50:09.810
that they'd try and keep some control over it,
1963
00:50:10.100 --> 00:50:11.840
so if there's something that looks suspicious,
1964
00:50:12.260 --> 00:50:13.659
they would investigate before paying.
1965
00:50:13.780 --> 00:50:15.000
He changed it around
1966
00:50:15.179 --> 00:50:17.159
to a new policy that was called
1967
00:50:17.580 --> 00:50:19.040
Pay and chase.
1968
00:50:19.300 --> 00:50:20.560
That's the name of the new
1969
00:50:20.939 --> 00:50:21.860
Pay and chase.
1970
00:50:22.100 --> 00:50:23.040
We'll pay the money
1971
00:50:23.250 --> 00:50:24.260
and then if there's a problem,
1972
00:50:24.340 --> 00:50:25.500
we'll try and get it back.
1973
00:50:25.820 --> 00:50:26.239
So.
1974
00:50:26.669 --> 00:50:27.949
That's Becera did that.
1975
00:50:28.149 --> 00:50:32.169
And then the third thing is that he massively pushed for the expansion of Medicaid.
1976
00:50:32.389 --> 00:50:34.649
Even the Washington Post just wrote an editorial saying
1977
00:50:34.870 --> 00:50:37.790
the main driver of the fraud was the expansion
1978
00:50:37.949 --> 00:50:38.459
of Medicaid,
1979
00:50:38.500 --> 00:50:39.350
it created all the,
1980
00:50:39.550 --> 00:50:40.790
they were in such a rush,
1981
00:50:40.989 --> 00:50:41.330
they said,
1982
00:50:41.360 --> 00:50:41.510
yeah,
1983
00:50:41.629 --> 00:50:41.750
yeah,
1984
00:50:41.870 --> 00:50:42.149
whatever,
1985
00:50:42.350 --> 00:50:43.050
everyone's eligible,
1986
00:50:43.540 --> 00:50:45.419
gold mine for fraudsters and thieves.
1987
00:50:45.709 --> 00:50:48.070
So Becerra did all of that.
1988
00:50:48.550 --> 00:50:49.030
All of it,
1989
00:50:49.110 --> 00:50:50.270
that's all on him.
1990
00:50:51.080 --> 00:50:51.830
It's like
1991
00:50:52.030 --> 00:50:52.659
what insane.
1992
00:50:53.399 --> 00:50:53.719
He's even,
1993
00:50:53.800 --> 00:50:56.699
there's even fraud within his own
1994
00:50:56.870 --> 00:50:57.040
administration.
1995
00:50:57.189 --> 00:50:57.320
Yes.
1996
00:50:57.639 --> 00:50:59.620
It's the same fraud
1997
00:50:59.919 --> 00:51:01.570
that Newsom's team
1998
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:03.080
is associated with.
1999
00:51:03.439 --> 00:51:03.550
I,
2000
00:51:03.560 --> 00:51:03.790
I,
2001
00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:04.350
and there's another one,
2002
00:51:04.360 --> 00:51:05.280
actually I'll give you another 10,
2003
00:51:05.320 --> 00:51:05.840
there's another one.
2004
00:51:05.919 --> 00:51:06.080
Yes,
2005
00:51:06.239 --> 00:51:06.979
there's another one.
2006
00:51:07.120 --> 00:51:07.340
So
2007
00:51:07.919 --> 00:51:09.320
before he was HHS secretary,
2008
00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:13.560
he was I know he was California Attorney General.
2009
00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:13.870
He,
2010
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:14.860
he was appointed to that.
2011
00:51:16.669 --> 00:51:18.510
So he was California Attorney General
2012
00:51:18.870 --> 00:51:19.250
during
2013
00:51:19.709 --> 00:51:21.149
the first bit of the pandemic,
2014
00:51:21.429 --> 00:51:22.929
and the biggest fraud
2015
00:51:23.030 --> 00:51:24.889
in California state history
2016
00:51:25.070 --> 00:51:26.830
was what became known as EDD,
2017
00:51:26.989 --> 00:51:28.290
the er um
2018
00:51:28.510 --> 00:51:29.629
Employment Development Department,
2019
00:51:29.750 --> 00:51:30.729
unemployment
2020
00:51:31.540 --> 00:51:32.790
money sent out during the pandemic,
2021
00:51:32.949 --> 00:51:33.659
during the lockdown,
2022
00:51:33.830 --> 00:51:34.709
but I didn't know that was him.
2023
00:51:34.790 --> 00:51:35.270
That was him.
2024
00:51:35.540 --> 00:51:35.649
Well,
2025
00:51:35.709 --> 00:51:37.989
what happened was it wasn't him that did it.
2026
00:51:38.415 --> 00:51:39.965
But he did nothing to stop it.
2027
00:51:40.495 --> 00:51:43.854
And the and actually the DA's of California,
2028
00:51:44.094 --> 00:51:45.334
the district attorneys
2029
00:51:45.804 --> 00:51:46.375
wrote to him.
2030
00:51:46.495 --> 00:51:47.554
It's all public saying,
2031
00:51:47.725 --> 00:51:48.935
what are you doing about this?
2032
00:51:49.094 --> 00:51:50.135
The estimate is
2033
00:51:50.294 --> 00:51:52.225
it's over $30 billion
2034
00:51:52.455 --> 00:51:53.014
billion dollars,
2035
00:51:53.054 --> 00:51:54.915
it's insane amounts of money
2036
00:51:55.415 --> 00:51:56.475
that that went to
2037
00:51:56.774 --> 00:51:57.675
sent out in
2038
00:51:57.975 --> 00:52:00.034
to to criminal gangs and
2039
00:52:00.195 --> 00:52:02.165
people in jail and you know,
2040
00:52:02.385 --> 00:52:05.114
just billions of dollars just mailed out.
2041
00:52:05.695 --> 00:52:06.094
And
2042
00:52:06.485 --> 00:52:07.455
the DA's.
2043
00:52:08.419 --> 00:52:09.629
Saw this was happening,
2044
00:52:09.820 --> 00:52:11.899
and Becerra was doing nothing about it,
2045
00:52:12.260 --> 00:52:13.129
not prosecuting,
2046
00:52:13.219 --> 00:52:14.020
not going after it,
2047
00:52:14.100 --> 00:52:14.500
nothing.
2048
00:52:15.169 --> 00:52:16.290
And they wrote to him and said,
2049
00:52:16.689 --> 00:52:17.909
are you gonna do anything?
2050
00:52:18.330 --> 00:52:19.000
And he did nothing,
2051
00:52:19.090 --> 00:52:21.550
so they ended up doing something about the DA's,
2052
00:52:21.570 --> 00:52:21.580
right.
2053
00:52:22.250 --> 00:52:23.290
So that's another thing
2054
00:52:23.530 --> 00:52:23.989
where
2055
00:52:24.250 --> 00:52:24.850
you just think,
2056
00:52:25.489 --> 00:52:26.209
what is this guy?
2057
00:52:26.250 --> 00:52:26.709
I mean,
2058
00:52:27.409 --> 00:52:27.600
I,
2059
00:52:27.689 --> 00:52:29.189
I know you don't wanna say it,
2060
00:52:29.649 --> 00:52:31.209
and I don't say it very often.
2061
00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:33.760
But there is something very dark about that,
2062
00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:33.959
man.
2063
00:52:34.030 --> 00:52:34.389
I'm sorry,
2064
00:52:34.439 --> 00:52:35.360
these are not accidents,
2065
00:52:35.439 --> 00:52:35.679
Steve,
2066
00:52:35.760 --> 00:52:36.399
and you know,
2067
00:52:36.459 --> 00:52:37.129
I don't care
2068
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:38.790
how much power,
2069
00:52:39.120 --> 00:52:39.989
how much money,
2070
00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:41.939
there is no universe
2071
00:52:42.080 --> 00:52:45.409
where I could look the other way whilst facilitating
2072
00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:50.290
the most horrendous fate for hundreds of thousands of innocent children.
2073
00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:51.360
You don't have to.
2074
00:52:51.570 --> 00:52:51.729
it,
2075
00:52:52.129 --> 00:52:53.010
that's evil.
2076
00:52:53.189 --> 00:52:53.870
I'm sorry.
2077
00:52:54.370 --> 00:52:55.850
That is what evil looks like.
2078
00:52:56.169 --> 00:52:56.479
Now,
2079
00:52:57.159 --> 00:52:57.370
by the way,
2080
00:52:57.729 --> 00:52:58.250
last thing,
2081
00:52:58.370 --> 00:52:58.379
yeah,
2082
00:52:58.770 --> 00:52:59.530
because I was gonna say I,
2083
00:52:59.590 --> 00:52:59.840
I,
2084
00:52:59.929 --> 00:53:00.159
I,
2085
00:53:00.209 --> 00:53:01.310
I need to get to two other things.
2086
00:53:02.129 --> 00:53:02.949
There are still
2087
00:53:03.689 --> 00:53:06.879
hundreds of thousands of children unaccounted for missing,
2088
00:53:07.129 --> 00:53:08.189
missing today,
2089
00:53:08.409 --> 00:53:08.810
and
2090
00:53:09.169 --> 00:53:11.090
we were just talking to some of the people involved in that.
2091
00:53:11.500 --> 00:53:12.010
Um,
2092
00:53:12.139 --> 00:53:12.580
now some of,
2093
00:53:12.659 --> 00:53:13.100
to be fair,
2094
00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:14.050
I want to be accurate,
2095
00:53:14.300 --> 00:53:16.320
some of them may have gone back to
2096
00:53:16.540 --> 00:53:17.610
their country of origin,
2097
00:53:17.860 --> 00:53:20.570
some of them may have aged out of the system if they
2098
00:53:20.899 --> 00:53:24.250
came as a 16 year old and now they're like a 22-year-old or whatever.
2099
00:53:24.580 --> 00:53:24.969
So that,
2100
00:53:25.169 --> 00:53:26.699
but the hundreds of thousands,
2101
00:53:26.909 --> 00:53:30.800
here's what we know because of the recordings of the people who came in.
2102
00:53:31.139 --> 00:53:33.560
Around 100,000 of the ones still missing
2103
00:53:33.699 --> 00:53:35.120
are under 10 years old.
2104
00:53:35.739 --> 00:53:35.939
Today,
2105
00:53:36.020 --> 00:53:36.530
under 10,
2106
00:53:36.659 --> 00:53:38.280
because we know what age they were when they came.
2107
00:53:38.939 --> 00:53:39.110
So,
2108
00:53:39.179 --> 00:53:40.560
so that's a definite number.
2109
00:53:41.300 --> 00:53:41.620
Do you know,
2110
00:53:41.739 --> 00:53:45.699
do you remember that scandal where ICE broke up that weed farm,
2111
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:49.219
Glass House here in in California in Camarillo,
2112
00:53:49.699 --> 00:53:50.100
and
2113
00:53:50.340 --> 00:53:51.199
of course,
2114
00:53:51.219 --> 00:53:52.459
I'm on CNN.
2115
00:53:53.510 --> 00:53:55.510
One of the last times I ever did CNN
2116
00:53:55.870 --> 00:53:59.050
and they're going off about the battle between ICE
2117
00:53:59.350 --> 00:54:01.969
and the people attacking ICE because ICE started fighting back,
2118
00:54:02.510 --> 00:54:03.729
completely negating the fact
2119
00:54:04.110 --> 00:54:06.209
that there were unaccompanied
2120
00:54:06.790 --> 00:54:08.610
immigrant minors
2121
00:54:09.159 --> 00:54:11.050
engaged in slave labour
2122
00:54:11.270 --> 00:54:12.409
at this marijuana farm
2123
00:54:12.510 --> 00:54:13.689
that had donated
2124
00:54:14.000 --> 00:54:15.399
to Newsom's campaign,
2125
00:54:15.550 --> 00:54:16.709
and I'm looking at Abby Phillip.
2126
00:54:16.770 --> 00:54:17.179
I'm like,
2127
00:54:17.189 --> 00:54:17.550
Abby.
2128
00:54:18.659 --> 00:54:20.580
You're not at all alarmed about the fact that
2129
00:54:20.580 --> 00:54:23.500
undocumented children are working at a marijuana farm.
2130
00:54:24.020 --> 00:54:24.260
Steve,
2131
00:54:24.340 --> 00:54:25.340
she looks me in the eyes.
2132
00:54:25.419 --> 00:54:29.449
This is how much our media has become just pure propaganda and goes,
2133
00:54:29.899 --> 00:54:30.020
well,
2134
00:54:30.060 --> 00:54:30.639
it's legal.
2135
00:54:31.300 --> 00:54:31.820
And I was like,
2136
00:54:31.939 --> 00:54:32.659
hold on,
2137
00:54:33.459 --> 00:54:34.399
it's not.
2138
00:54:34.689 --> 00:54:34.899
She's like,
2139
00:54:35.040 --> 00:54:35.169
Well,
2140
00:54:35.550 --> 00:54:35.739
you know,
2141
00:54:36.100 --> 00:54:37.699
outside of the fact that they're undocumented,
2142
00:54:37.860 --> 00:54:39.399
it's legal for children to work
2143
00:54:39.689 --> 00:54:40.810
in a cannabis facility.
2144
00:54:40.860 --> 00:54:41.209
I'm like,
2145
00:54:41.300 --> 00:54:41.419
no,
2146
00:54:41.500 --> 00:54:41.850
it's,
2147
00:54:42.219 --> 00:54:43.370
it's actually not.
2148
00:54:43.540 --> 00:54:44.889
She's lying through her teeth,
2149
00:54:45.179 --> 00:54:45.959
no correction,
2150
00:54:46.219 --> 00:54:47.520
all to cover Newsom
2151
00:54:47.659 --> 00:54:48.500
and go after ICE,
2152
00:54:48.540 --> 00:54:49.239
and I'm thinking,
2153
00:54:49.620 --> 00:54:51.770
how do you have a licence to broadcast the news?
2154
00:54:51.939 --> 00:54:53.669
You're telling me undocumented.
2155
00:54:53.959 --> 00:54:55.840
I'm not saying undocumented.
2156
00:54:56.179 --> 00:54:57.899
I'm not talking about work at a marijuana farm.
2157
00:54:57.939 --> 00:54:59.620
I'm not talking about the undocumented part.
2158
00:55:00.002 --> 00:55:00.423
But in,
2159
00:55:00.583 --> 00:55:00.972
but
2160
00:55:01.413 --> 00:55:03.292
according to this statement in this country,
2161
00:55:03.583 --> 00:55:04.443
not just at farm,
2162
00:55:05.022 --> 00:55:07.123
not at marijuana farms at all semantics,
2163
00:55:07.262 --> 00:55:08.232
look at the reality.
2164
00:55:08.383 --> 00:55:11.843
I'm just talking about how did an unaccompanied,
2165
00:55:11.943 --> 00:55:13.722
undocumented 14 year old,
2166
00:55:13.913 --> 00:55:14.373
hey Jillian,
2167
00:55:14.593 --> 00:55:15.222
the middle of hey Jillian,
2168
00:55:15.403 --> 00:55:15.492
I,
2169
00:55:15.702 --> 00:55:18.322
I believe and many people might believe
2170
00:55:18.583 --> 00:55:18.962
children
2171
00:55:19.623 --> 00:55:21.572
should be subject to child labour laws,
2172
00:55:21.822 --> 00:55:22.222
but it,
2173
00:55:22.333 --> 00:55:26.173
but it's true in this country that when it comes to agricultural work they're not,
2174
00:55:26.343 --> 00:55:27.702
and that includes marijuana farms,
2175
00:55:27.782 --> 00:55:28.083
so.
2176
00:55:28.256 --> 00:55:28.906
The legal,
2177
00:55:29.305 --> 00:55:32.986
the legality of their status is a separate issue,
2178
00:55:33.345 --> 00:55:36.506
but the fact of children being there is
2179
00:55:36.506 --> 00:55:39.105
not actually something that is necessarily illegal.
2180
00:55:39.305 --> 00:55:40.605
I have a really hard time,
2181
00:55:40.855 --> 00:55:41.426
so there's that.
2182
00:55:41.506 --> 00:55:44.656
So it's not unusual for there to be teenagers and working in a farm.
2183
00:55:44.666 --> 00:55:47.226
A 4 year old can work at a marijuana growing up.
2184
00:55:47.385 --> 00:55:49.946
It doesn't matter whether it's a marijuana farm or an apple farm.
2185
00:55:51.345 --> 00:55:54.025
Comfort is one of those things you don't fully appreciate until
2186
00:55:54.025 --> 00:55:56.625
you find pieces that you actually want to wear every day.
2187
00:55:57.010 --> 00:55:59.699
And that's why Skims has become a go to for me,
2188
00:55:59.820 --> 00:56:01.120
because the cotton collection
2189
00:56:01.500 --> 00:56:01.939
is soft,
2190
00:56:02.020 --> 00:56:02.659
it's lightweight,
2191
00:56:02.699 --> 00:56:03.379
it's comfortable,
2192
00:56:03.459 --> 00:56:05.000
it doesn't sacrifice fit.
2193
00:56:05.179 --> 00:56:06.330
It's easy to reach for,
2194
00:56:06.340 --> 00:56:08.679
whether you're at home or you're heading out for the day.
2195
00:56:09.020 --> 00:56:12.719
One standout is the cotton rib tank because it's the kind of basic
2196
00:56:12.979 --> 00:56:14.280
that works with anything.
2197
00:56:14.500 --> 00:56:14.969
And as I said,
2198
00:56:15.020 --> 00:56:16.780
the fit holds up throughout the entire day.
2199
00:56:17.629 --> 00:56:19.840
The fabric is soft with the right amount of stretch.
2200
00:56:19.909 --> 00:56:20.800
It stays comfortable,
2201
00:56:21.000 --> 00:56:22.280
never loses its shape,
2202
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:23.540
and it's perfect for anyone
2203
00:56:23.959 --> 00:56:26.429
who wants to elevate their everyday essentials.
2204
00:56:26.800 --> 00:56:30.699
Shop Skims cotton and all of my favourite pieces at skims.com.
2205
00:56:30.760 --> 00:56:32.100
And after you place your order,
2206
00:56:32.360 --> 00:56:33.899
be sure to let them know that I
2207
00:56:34.159 --> 00:56:34.560
sent you.
2208
00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:36.830
Simply select podcast in the survey,
2209
00:56:37.040 --> 00:56:38.679
and then select my show in the drop.
2210
00:56:38.844 --> 00:56:39.465
Down menu
2211
00:56:39.695 --> 00:56:40.415
that follows.
2212
00:56:40.745 --> 00:56:41.284
This is
2213
00:56:41.445 --> 00:56:42.604
insanity,
2214
00:56:42.625 --> 00:56:44.024
what's happening in our country.
2215
00:56:44.294 --> 00:56:44.304
Yes,
2216
00:56:44.385 --> 00:56:45.495
it gets covered up.
2217
00:56:45.665 --> 00:56:46.745
That's why when you and I are going,
2218
00:56:47.024 --> 00:56:47.985
how do people not know this?
2219
00:56:48.145 --> 00:56:48.284
Because,
2220
00:56:48.304 --> 00:56:49.544
they're not telling the story.
2221
00:56:49.824 --> 00:56:51.465
When someone confronts them about telling the story,
2222
00:56:51.544 --> 00:56:53.125
they lie about the facts
2223
00:56:53.314 --> 00:56:55.534
or just call you crazy to negate all of it.
2224
00:56:55.625 --> 00:56:55.745
Yes,
2225
00:56:55.935 --> 00:56:56.125
it's,
2226
00:56:56.185 --> 00:56:57.155
it's bonkers.
2227
00:56:57.264 --> 00:56:57.425
It's,
2228
00:56:57.465 --> 00:56:57.725
it's,
2229
00:56:57.735 --> 00:56:59.945
and also the other thing I was just a very important point.
2230
00:57:00.500 --> 00:57:01.520
The first
2231
00:57:02.100 --> 00:57:02.820
reporting
2232
00:57:03.060 --> 00:57:03.719
of this
2233
00:57:03.850 --> 00:57:05.379
migrant child scandal,
2234
00:57:05.459 --> 00:57:06.139
the camps
2235
00:57:06.379 --> 00:57:07.429
and the kids missing,
2236
00:57:07.620 --> 00:57:08.850
was the New York Times.
2237
00:57:09.060 --> 00:57:09.310
Yes,
2238
00:57:09.379 --> 00:57:09.870
it wasn't,
2239
00:57:09.979 --> 00:57:10.370
I know,
2240
00:57:10.419 --> 00:57:11.739
it was the New York Times.
2241
00:57:12.620 --> 00:57:12.800
They,
2242
00:57:12.899 --> 00:57:13.510
to be fair,
2243
00:57:13.620 --> 00:57:13.979
they did,
2244
00:57:14.020 --> 00:57:14.320
and
2245
00:57:14.659 --> 00:57:15.500
back then
2246
00:57:15.820 --> 00:57:16.290
the number,
2247
00:57:16.379 --> 00:57:16.500
they,
2248
00:57:16.620 --> 00:57:17.179
they did it,
2249
00:57:17.219 --> 00:57:19.020
I think in the 2nd or 3rd year,
2250
00:57:19.110 --> 00:57:20.050
I can't remember exactly when,
2251
00:57:20.300 --> 00:57:21.459
sort of through this process.
2252
00:57:21.860 --> 00:57:23.500
Their headline number then
2253
00:57:23.739 --> 00:57:25.179
was 85,000.
2254
00:57:25.520 --> 00:57:26.909
And so for a lot of people
2255
00:57:27.090 --> 00:57:28.520
that's the number that's in their head,
2256
00:57:29.090 --> 00:57:30.389
something like that or 360.
2257
00:57:30.610 --> 00:57:30.729
No,
2258
00:57:30.850 --> 00:57:31.600
the total number is,
2259
00:57:31.649 --> 00:57:31.729
yes,
2260
00:57:31.929 --> 00:57:33.959
it's 479,000 total came
2261
00:57:34.429 --> 00:57:36.169
about 3 360 missing.
2262
00:57:36.489 --> 00:57:36.610
But,
2263
00:57:36.689 --> 00:57:36.979
but,
2264
00:57:37.090 --> 00:57:38.360
but when they reported it,
2265
00:57:38.370 --> 00:57:39.510
it was 85,000.
2266
00:57:39.770 --> 00:57:40.729
That was the New York Times,
2267
00:57:40.770 --> 00:57:41.139
it was,
2268
00:57:41.310 --> 00:57:42.290
I think it won a Pulitzer,
2269
00:57:42.479 --> 00:57:43.090
that's not a.
2270
00:57:43.949 --> 00:57:44.270
I mean,
2271
00:57:44.989 --> 00:57:46.169
but for some reason,
2272
00:57:46.469 --> 00:57:48.149
I mean this should be completely disqualifying.
2273
00:57:48.260 --> 00:57:48.709
I agree.
2274
00:57:48.870 --> 00:57:51.590
Completely disqualifying for any public office.
2275
00:57:52.270 --> 00:57:55.300
Can we talk about this one other piece because I think it's very important,
2276
00:57:55.310 --> 00:57:57.500
and then I want to hear all the good stuff about how we're gonna,
2277
00:57:57.580 --> 00:57:57.709
you know,
2278
00:57:58.110 --> 00:57:58.379
we're,
2279
00:57:58.469 --> 00:57:59.040
I'm like
2280
00:58:00.179 --> 00:58:00.580
how do we do this,
2281
00:58:00.590 --> 00:58:00.949
Steve.
2282
00:58:01.110 --> 00:58:02.330
I don't even live here anymore.
2283
00:58:02.629 --> 00:58:03.979
But it's so funny to watch like
2284
00:58:04.169 --> 00:58:05.570
PBD who did live here,
2285
00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:07.060
Rogan who did live here,
2286
00:58:07.350 --> 00:58:07.629
me who.
2287
00:58:07.830 --> 00:58:10.070
Did live here that's like you gotta do this buddy
2288
00:58:10.070 --> 00:58:12.889
because it's like it's heartbreaking because it was home,
2289
00:58:13.169 --> 00:58:13.560
so
2290
00:58:14.139 --> 00:58:15.139
ballot harvesting,
2291
00:58:15.219 --> 00:58:15.229
yes,
2292
00:58:16.060 --> 00:58:18.729
there is no question this whole thing has been rigged,
2293
00:58:19.060 --> 00:58:20.199
but they rigged it
2294
00:58:20.620 --> 00:58:21.320
legally
2295
00:58:21.500 --> 00:58:23.449
and then when you point out like wait a second,
2296
00:58:23.500 --> 00:58:25.500
you guys are registering homeless people to vote and we
2297
00:58:25.500 --> 00:58:27.100
don't even know if they're citizens of the country,
2298
00:58:27.219 --> 00:58:28.800
let alone residents of California.
2299
00:58:29.419 --> 00:58:31.620
Nothing to see here because they made it legal.
2300
00:58:31.699 --> 00:58:33.260
They made ballot harvesting legal.
2301
00:58:33.500 --> 00:58:34.959
They made a 37 day
2302
00:58:35.189 --> 00:58:37.479
window to certify an election legal from
2303
00:58:37.770 --> 00:58:38.580
48 hours,
2304
00:58:38.659 --> 00:58:40.250
which is what it was in 2014.
2305
00:58:40.699 --> 00:58:43.379
Let's talk about some of the ways they rigged this because people
2306
00:58:43.379 --> 00:58:46.500
are becoming black pilled thinking like I can't get through this.
2307
00:58:46.760 --> 00:58:47.459
You can,
2308
00:58:47.729 --> 00:58:50.300
but we have to come out in droves here in California
2309
00:58:50.300 --> 00:58:52.459
or you guys do because I can't vote here anymore.
2310
00:58:52.585 --> 00:58:53.345
It's California,
2311
00:58:53.385 --> 00:58:53.986
you probably can't.
2312
00:58:54.145 --> 00:58:54.545
I know,
2313
00:58:54.625 --> 00:58:55.025
I know.
2314
00:58:55.226 --> 00:58:56.045
Can I tell you?
2315
00:58:56.426 --> 00:58:58.436
Do you know how many ballots my friends get?
2316
00:58:58.615 --> 00:58:58.855
They're like,
2317
00:58:58.895 --> 00:58:59.256
you want one?
2318
00:58:59.266 --> 00:58:59.535
I'm like,
2319
00:58:59.585 --> 00:58:59.615
No,
2320
00:58:59.706 --> 00:58:59.885
dude,
2321
00:58:59.986 --> 00:59:00.926
I'll go to jail.
2322
00:59:01.256 --> 00:59:01.496
But I,
2323
00:59:01.545 --> 00:59:02.335
I love you for that.
2324
00:59:02.385 --> 00:59:02.656
I'm like,
2325
00:59:02.706 --> 00:59:03.506
I'm way too,
2326
00:59:03.815 --> 00:59:04.256
but it's,
2327
00:59:04.375 --> 00:59:05.226
they get like 10.
2328
00:59:05.305 --> 00:59:06.416
I know it's they're,
2329
00:59:06.585 --> 00:59:08.506
so can we talk a little bit about this please,
2330
00:59:08.545 --> 00:59:11.535
and what the people of California need to do?
2331
00:59:11.666 --> 00:59:13.825
There's only one I get asked about it all the time.
2332
00:59:13.906 --> 00:59:15.535
I say basically exactly what you've said,
2333
00:59:15.545 --> 00:59:15.825
like we.
2334
00:59:16.092 --> 00:59:16.862
Complain about it,
2335
00:59:17.191 --> 00:59:17.511
whatever,
2336
00:59:17.592 --> 00:59:18.622
they've legalised it,
2337
00:59:19.031 --> 00:59:19.191
they've,
2338
00:59:19.271 --> 00:59:21.312
it's all part of the machine that they've built.
2339
00:59:21.672 --> 00:59:21.681
Right.
2340
00:59:21.691 --> 00:59:21.951
So we,
2341
00:59:22.031 --> 00:59:23.062
we only have one choice,
2342
00:59:23.072 --> 00:59:24.822
which is to beat them at their own game.
2343
00:59:24.991 --> 00:59:26.112
It's incredibly important,
2344
00:59:26.191 --> 00:59:27.221
so when I do an event and say,
2345
00:59:27.271 --> 00:59:28.132
what are you gonna do about
2346
00:59:28.302 --> 00:59:28.632
the cheating,
2347
00:59:28.711 --> 00:59:28.981
I say,
2348
00:59:29.261 --> 00:59:30.211
what are you gonna do?
2349
00:59:30.382 --> 00:59:30.751
And I'm,
2350
00:59:30.812 --> 00:59:33.152
what I mean by that is we can all do this.
2351
00:59:33.431 --> 00:59:34.112
So whatever we think,
2352
00:59:34.191 --> 00:59:34.592
I can't say,
2353
00:59:34.632 --> 00:59:36.172
it's ridiculous ballot harvesting.
2354
00:59:36.392 --> 00:59:37.552
When I first heard about it,
2355
00:59:37.632 --> 00:59:38.052
I thought,
2356
00:59:38.152 --> 00:59:39.291
will you explain it?
2357
00:59:39.751 --> 00:59:40.572
Anybody
2358
00:59:41.031 --> 00:59:43.112
can collect as many ballots as they,
2359
00:59:43.191 --> 00:59:43.791
no limit.
2360
00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:44.669
Um,
2361
00:59:44.729 --> 00:59:46.560
and hand them in on someone's behalf.
2362
00:59:46.929 --> 00:59:49.790
So it used to be the case that there was a custody point where
2363
00:59:50.129 --> 00:59:50.570
either you,
2364
00:59:50.649 --> 00:59:51.209
you register,
2365
00:59:51.370 --> 00:59:52.530
let's say you couldn't get to vote,
2366
00:59:52.610 --> 00:59:53.929
that was what this was all about.
2367
00:59:54.360 --> 00:59:54.570
That,
2368
00:59:54.649 --> 00:59:55.080
um,
2369
00:59:55.250 --> 00:59:55.520
you're,
2370
00:59:55.610 --> 00:59:56.189
you're,
2371
00:59:56.250 --> 00:59:57.750
you're military serving overseas,
2372
00:59:57.850 --> 01:00:00.330
or you're in hospital or for whatever reasons you can't vote,
2373
01:00:00.729 --> 01:00:01.169
then
2374
01:00:01.449 --> 01:00:01.939
there would,
2375
01:00:02.090 --> 01:00:03.449
one option was absentee,
2376
01:00:03.610 --> 01:00:04.610
you do it by mail.
2377
01:00:04.770 --> 01:00:07.969
Another option is you can nominate someone you know
2378
01:00:08.129 --> 01:00:09.250
that's known to you
2379
01:00:09.449 --> 01:00:11.149
to hand in your ballot on the day
2380
01:00:11.850 --> 01:00:12.649
on your behalf.
2381
01:00:13.350 --> 01:00:13.959
Family member friend,
2382
01:00:14.110 --> 01:00:15.750
it was very tightly restricted.
2383
01:00:16.149 --> 01:00:17.370
They then changed the law
2384
01:00:17.590 --> 01:00:19.129
to just eliminate
2385
01:00:19.510 --> 01:00:20.669
all restrictions on that,
2386
01:00:20.790 --> 01:00:22.290
so anybody can do it.
2387
01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:25.709
And there's no limit to the number of ballots that you can do,
2388
01:00:25.969 --> 01:00:28.000
and that's called ballot harvesting,
2389
01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:29.919
and that means that you can be
2390
01:00:30.169 --> 01:00:30.760
a union,
2391
01:00:30.810 --> 01:00:31.070
or the,
2392
01:00:31.129 --> 01:00:31.350
or the,
2393
01:00:31.409 --> 01:00:33.770
that's what these organisations do that we're talking about at the beginning.
2394
01:00:34.050 --> 01:00:34.989
And they go around
2395
01:00:35.199 --> 01:00:37.290
and they and they apartment building,
2396
01:00:37.370 --> 01:00:37.929
nursing home,
2397
01:00:38.010 --> 01:00:38.669
whatever it is,
2398
01:00:39.550 --> 01:00:40.570
uh have you voted,
2399
01:00:40.689 --> 01:00:41.889
oh let me help you,
2400
01:00:42.169 --> 01:00:42.250
right,
2401
01:00:42.370 --> 01:00:43.250
they're not supposed to,
2402
01:00:43.330 --> 01:00:44.770
but there's no one there checking.
2403
01:00:45.060 --> 01:00:47.540
And so they can just collect as many ballots as they want
2404
01:00:47.739 --> 01:00:48.489
and hand them in,
2405
01:00:48.649 --> 01:00:50.040
hundreds at a time if you want.
2406
01:00:50.300 --> 01:00:52.300
I mean there's no restriction on it at all.
2407
01:00:52.540 --> 01:00:53.100
It's insane,
2408
01:00:53.219 --> 01:00:54.100
of course it's insane.
2409
01:00:54.379 --> 01:00:54.919
Um,
2410
01:00:54.939 --> 01:00:55.729
but it's the law,
2411
01:00:55.979 --> 01:00:56.060
right,
2412
01:00:56.139 --> 01:00:56.459
so we can't,
2413
01:00:56.500 --> 01:00:58.360
we can kind of rail against it or we can say,
2414
01:00:58.379 --> 01:00:58.699
right,
2415
01:00:58.939 --> 01:00:59.810
how are we gonna beat them,
2416
01:00:59.820 --> 01:01:01.459
cos we've got to win this election.
2417
01:01:01.810 --> 01:01:03.560
And so the only response
2418
01:01:03.780 --> 01:01:06.570
is to actually do our own ballot harvesting
2419
01:01:06.739 --> 01:01:07.939
and more than they do,
2420
01:01:08.020 --> 01:01:09.040
that's the only
2421
01:01:09.179 --> 01:01:10.429
rational response.
2422
01:01:10.659 --> 01:01:11.679
And so the thing that
2423
01:01:12.100 --> 01:01:14.500
the story I always tell in back in the primary,
2424
01:01:14.780 --> 01:01:18.320
we did an event not just outside of LA Lancaster a place called Lancaster.
2425
01:01:19.010 --> 01:01:19.409
Um,
2426
01:01:19.540 --> 01:01:20.719
this lady showed up,
2427
01:01:21.219 --> 01:01:21.500
uh,
2428
01:01:21.659 --> 01:01:23.620
with like armfuls of ballots to,
2429
01:01:23.739 --> 01:01:24.489
to our event.
2430
01:01:24.780 --> 01:01:24.979
I said,
2431
01:01:25.060 --> 01:01:25.449
what are you doing?
2432
01:01:25.530 --> 01:01:25.659
she said,
2433
01:01:25.739 --> 01:01:26.020
I,
2434
01:01:26.139 --> 01:01:26.840
I just did
2435
01:01:27.340 --> 01:01:29.699
a ballot harvesting pizza party.
2436
01:01:29.979 --> 01:01:31.239
I invited all my friends,
2437
01:01:31.729 --> 01:01:32.370
come for pizza,
2438
01:01:32.419 --> 01:01:33.479
we'll bring your ballot,
2439
01:01:33.739 --> 01:01:34.699
we'll fill it in together,
2440
01:01:34.780 --> 01:01:35.580
I'll help you with the,
2441
01:01:35.659 --> 01:01:35.820
you know,
2442
01:01:35.979 --> 01:01:36.260
choices,
2443
01:01:36.340 --> 01:01:37.449
then I'll drop them off for you.
2444
01:01:37.780 --> 01:01:38.040
Great,
2445
01:01:38.500 --> 01:01:39.770
that's what we have to do,
2446
01:01:39.939 --> 01:01:40.610
like really,
2447
01:01:40.780 --> 01:01:41.800
we have to beat them.
2448
01:01:42.260 --> 01:01:43.219
There isn't an,
2449
01:01:43.419 --> 01:01:43.649
you know,
2450
01:01:43.860 --> 01:01:45.600
otherwise we're just conceding
2451
01:01:46.060 --> 01:01:47.139
the whole battle to them.
2452
01:01:47.419 --> 01:01:48.219
So we're actually gonna be.
2453
01:01:48.312 --> 01:01:48.742
Doing
2454
01:01:49.022 --> 01:01:49.653
something like that,
2455
01:01:49.742 --> 01:01:51.202
we're gonna be doing a dinner I,
2456
01:01:51.502 --> 01:01:53.843
I'm doing these things called dinner with Steve where
2457
01:01:54.022 --> 01:01:56.183
I go into people's houses and we cook dinner together and eat.
2458
01:01:56.423 --> 01:01:57.643
We're gonna do a special on
2459
01:01:57.822 --> 01:01:58.643
ballot harvesting,
2460
01:01:58.702 --> 01:01:59.812
a harvest party.
2461
01:02:00.353 --> 01:02:01.143
This is what you do,
2462
01:02:01.222 --> 01:02:02.603
we're gonna show people how to do it.
2463
01:02:02.702 --> 01:02:03.222
You have to,
2464
01:02:03.302 --> 01:02:04.083
you have to because I,
2465
01:02:04.133 --> 01:02:04.282
I,
2466
01:02:04.343 --> 01:02:04.462
I,
2467
01:02:04.542 --> 01:02:05.943
I just thought like you gotta go vote,
2468
01:02:05.982 --> 01:02:07.343
you gotta go and by the way,
2469
01:02:07.423 --> 01:02:10.363
this is a really important point about too big to rig exactly
2470
01:02:10.583 --> 01:02:11.343
about this election.
2471
01:02:11.542 --> 01:02:13.262
So some people may look at the polls
2472
01:02:13.502 --> 01:02:13.742
and say,
2473
01:02:13.822 --> 01:02:13.943
well,
2474
01:02:14.022 --> 01:02:15.012
Steve's got no chance,
2475
01:02:15.022 --> 01:02:15.423
Mass.
2476
01:02:15.756 --> 01:02:16.726
Astroturfing those polls.
2477
01:02:16.795 --> 01:02:16.916
Yeah,
2478
01:02:17.025 --> 01:02:20.706
but here's what there's actually an explanation for what's going on because
2479
01:02:21.236 --> 01:02:22.486
they're doing it across the country though.
2480
01:02:22.795 --> 01:02:23.385
These polls,
2481
01:02:23.395 --> 01:02:23.506
the,
2482
01:02:23.595 --> 01:02:23.746
the,
2483
01:02:23.795 --> 01:02:25.256
the ones that get all the attention
2484
01:02:25.756 --> 01:02:26.135
are
2485
01:02:26.275 --> 01:02:26.996
here in California,
2486
01:02:27.075 --> 01:02:27.426
they're the,
2487
01:02:27.476 --> 01:02:28.706
the establishment polls.
2488
01:02:28.916 --> 01:02:30.355
They've been doing it for years,
2489
01:02:30.605 --> 01:02:31.966
every kind of few months,
2490
01:02:32.315 --> 01:02:34.416
and they have certain assumptions
2491
01:02:34.686 --> 01:02:35.595
about who votes,
2492
01:02:35.756 --> 01:02:36.506
about the turnout,
2493
01:02:36.595 --> 01:02:37.656
that's what they're based on.
2494
01:02:37.875 --> 01:02:39.055
It's like whatever your
2495
01:02:39.315 --> 01:02:42.635
model is of the electorate of who's voting is the result you get.
2496
01:02:43.000 --> 01:02:43.729
And when you,
2497
01:02:43.850 --> 01:02:44.919
when you use the same
2498
01:02:45.409 --> 01:02:47.030
models you've had for all these years,
2499
01:02:47.209 --> 01:02:49.729
where Republicans have been losing here by 25,
2500
01:02:49.810 --> 01:02:50.649
30 points,
2501
01:02:51.169 --> 01:02:52.330
you get these big gaps.
2502
01:02:52.610 --> 01:02:54.389
But all of the polls that have been done
2503
01:02:54.810 --> 01:02:55.229
by,
2504
01:02:56.050 --> 01:02:56.209
you know,
2505
01:02:56.290 --> 01:02:56.689
one-off,
2506
01:02:56.770 --> 01:02:59.449
like the people fighting the billionaires' tax or whatever,
2507
01:02:59.810 --> 01:03:01.370
they have a different assumption
2508
01:03:01.699 --> 01:03:02.840
for turnout,
2509
01:03:03.159 --> 01:03:04.870
where more Republicans vote,
2510
01:03:05.050 --> 01:03:06.129
and then the gap is,
2511
01:03:06.169 --> 01:03:07.389
is under 10%,
2512
01:03:07.770 --> 01:03:08.239
i.e.,
2513
01:03:08.250 --> 01:03:09.330
striking distance.
2514
01:03:09.679 --> 01:03:11.600
And so this is a winnable race,
2515
01:03:11.679 --> 01:03:12.939
it really is.
2516
01:03:13.199 --> 01:03:15.500
If we vote in large enough numbers,
2517
01:03:15.879 --> 01:03:17.320
another number I'll I'll put out there,
2518
01:03:17.439 --> 01:03:18.199
very important.
2519
01:03:19.000 --> 01:03:19.429
Um,
2520
01:03:19.699 --> 01:03:21.000
and obviously my campaign is
2521
01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:21.790
for everyone.
2522
01:03:21.840 --> 01:03:22.860
I mean we're talking
2523
01:03:23.159 --> 01:03:25.830
practical things that will make life better for Democrats,
2524
01:03:25.840 --> 01:03:26.030
and,
2525
01:03:26.229 --> 01:03:27.600
and it's not particularly partisan.
2526
01:03:27.669 --> 01:03:28.110
I'm not running like that.
2527
01:03:29.679 --> 01:03:31.919
So I'm and actually now we're doing our town halls,
2528
01:03:31.959 --> 01:03:32.100
we are,
2529
01:03:32.189 --> 01:03:32.320
you know,
2530
01:03:32.399 --> 01:03:34.000
just doing 1000 Oaks on Saturday,
2531
01:03:34.070 --> 01:03:34.350
like,
2532
01:03:34.679 --> 01:03:34.830
you know,
2533
01:03:34.919 --> 01:03:36.270
hundreds and hundreds of people.
2534
01:03:36.469 --> 01:03:37.699
We mainly promote them
2535
01:03:37.919 --> 01:03:39.229
to Democrats and Independents,
2536
01:03:39.280 --> 01:03:40.429
so we're getting a huge turnout.
2537
01:03:40.600 --> 01:03:40.909
Anyway,
2538
01:03:41.199 --> 01:03:42.439
but just forget that for a moment.
2539
01:03:42.560 --> 01:03:43.399
Forget the fact that.
2540
01:03:43.939 --> 01:03:46.020
We actually are winning Democrats and Independents.
2541
01:03:46.290 --> 01:03:47.340
Just look at the numbers,
2542
01:03:47.580 --> 01:03:47.739
right,
2543
01:03:47.860 --> 01:03:49.580
when people say you can't win this election.
2544
01:03:50.020 --> 01:03:50.399
So
2545
01:03:50.620 --> 01:03:51.110
in,
2546
01:03:51.459 --> 01:03:52.850
based on the turnout
2547
01:03:53.100 --> 01:03:54.889
in the last two midterms in California,
2548
01:03:54.979 --> 01:03:55.419
2018,
2549
01:03:55.540 --> 01:03:56.409
2022,
2550
01:03:56.780 --> 01:03:58.580
and what we saw in the primary,
2551
01:03:58.820 --> 01:04:02.360
our estimate of the total number of votes that I'll need to win,
2552
01:04:02.620 --> 01:04:03.330
not the percentage,
2553
01:04:03.449 --> 01:04:04.139
but the number
2554
01:04:04.300 --> 01:04:05.899
is about 6 million votes.
2555
01:04:06.100 --> 01:04:07.040
That's the number.
2556
01:04:07.689 --> 01:04:09.820
In 2024 in California,
2557
01:04:10.340 --> 01:04:11.060
President Trump,
2558
01:04:11.340 --> 01:04:12.300
without campaigning here,
2559
01:04:12.500 --> 01:04:13.820
without spending money on ads,
2560
01:04:13.969 --> 01:04:15.659
and they weren't targeting California,
2561
01:04:15.949 --> 01:04:17.419
got 6.1 million.
2562
01:04:17.979 --> 01:04:18.419
So
2563
01:04:18.780 --> 01:04:21.360
there's a very simple way of thinking about it,
2564
01:04:21.540 --> 01:04:22.199
which is
2565
01:04:22.659 --> 01:04:24.080
if everybody
2566
01:04:24.459 --> 01:04:25.600
who voted for Trump
2567
01:04:26.219 --> 01:04:27.179
shows up and votes,
2568
01:04:27.540 --> 01:04:29.040
we'll win just with that.
2569
01:04:29.379 --> 01:04:29.570
Now,
2570
01:04:29.659 --> 01:04:32.300
we're not gonna get 100% of a presidential year,
2571
01:04:32.580 --> 01:04:34.159
but the closer we get to it.
2572
01:04:34.899 --> 01:04:35.790
The better odds,
2573
01:04:35.899 --> 01:04:36.209
so it,
2574
01:04:36.219 --> 01:04:36.419
it,
2575
01:04:36.580 --> 01:04:38.659
there really are enough Republicans,
2576
01:04:39.060 --> 01:04:39.449
Republicans,
2577
01:04:39.659 --> 01:04:41.290
never mind Democrats and Independents,
2578
01:04:41.540 --> 01:04:42.659
and there's so many,
2579
01:04:42.699 --> 01:04:43.969
I bet there's people watching,
2580
01:04:44.260 --> 01:04:45.449
friends of people watching,
2581
01:04:45.820 --> 01:04:46.120
who,
2582
01:04:46.340 --> 01:04:46.919
um,
2583
01:04:47.540 --> 01:04:48.719
there are people who
2584
01:04:48.939 --> 01:04:49.179
just,
2585
01:04:49.300 --> 01:04:50.169
they're Republicans,
2586
01:04:50.179 --> 01:04:52.000
but they just don't vote in a midterm.
2587
01:04:52.540 --> 01:04:54.000
That's what this is all about,
2588
01:04:54.340 --> 01:04:54.739
and.
2589
01:04:55.239 --> 01:04:55.780
We,
2590
01:04:55.879 --> 01:04:57.939
and that's why things like the ballot harvesting
2591
01:04:58.239 --> 01:04:59.389
and getting your friends,
2592
01:04:59.600 --> 01:05:02.550
and if you think of yourself as your job is just to vote,
2593
01:05:02.800 --> 01:05:02.959
no,
2594
01:05:03.040 --> 01:05:06.199
your job is to vote and then bring another one or 2 or 5.
2595
01:05:06.590 --> 01:05:06.800
Yes,
2596
01:05:07.040 --> 01:05:08.040
that's your job,
2597
01:05:08.320 --> 01:05:09.840
bring more than one ballot.
2598
01:05:09.929 --> 01:05:10.159
Right.
2599
01:05:10.439 --> 01:05:11.590
And that's what they do,
2600
01:05:11.600 --> 01:05:13.139
and we shouldn't just leave it to them.
2601
01:05:13.439 --> 01:05:14.739
I want to talk a little bit
2602
01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:16.850
um about your plan,
2603
01:05:16.959 --> 01:05:20.120
you just had this incredible like gas day where you had $3 gas
2604
01:05:20.120 --> 01:05:24.000
and you know you talk about no tax for people making $19,150,000 and.
2605
01:05:24.409 --> 01:05:24.530
You know,
2606
01:05:24.570 --> 01:05:27.290
I haven't given you that opportunity because I've been in crisis mode.
2607
01:05:27.379 --> 01:05:29.889
Let's talk a little bit about hope here.
2608
01:05:30.159 --> 01:05:30.179
Yes,
2609
01:05:30.530 --> 01:05:32.770
what are you going to bring to Californians?
2610
01:05:32.969 --> 01:05:34.050
So it's just,
2611
01:05:34.689 --> 01:05:36.010
it really is.
2612
01:05:36.550 --> 01:05:39.120
The case that we've got everything going for us,
2613
01:05:39.199 --> 01:05:39.399
right,
2614
01:05:39.479 --> 01:05:40.500
we've got amazing,
2615
01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:41.909
we've got the best weather,
2616
01:05:42.399 --> 01:05:42.949
natural beauty,
2617
01:05:43.000 --> 01:05:43.320
every,
2618
01:05:43.560 --> 01:05:45.439
all we need is a government that's,
2619
01:05:45.479 --> 01:05:46.600
that sort of stops
2620
01:05:46.879 --> 01:05:47.459
helping
2621
01:05:47.600 --> 01:05:49.110
the people who do the wrong thing
2622
01:05:49.360 --> 01:05:51.280
and starts helping the people who do the right thing.
2623
01:05:51.719 --> 01:05:51.919
And,
2624
01:05:52.030 --> 01:05:52.399
and that,
2625
01:05:52.479 --> 01:05:54.080
and right now that's not the way it's going.
2626
01:05:54.399 --> 01:05:56.540
And so just simple basic things like getting,
2627
01:05:57.080 --> 01:05:57.239
you know,
2628
01:05:57.320 --> 01:06:00.560
they've doubled the budget of the state of California in the last 10 years.
2629
01:06:00.840 --> 01:06:01.159
Doubled.
2630
01:06:01.459 --> 01:06:03.590
10 years ago the budget was 170 billion,
2631
01:06:03.879 --> 01:06:05.560
now it's 354 billion.
2632
01:06:05.889 --> 01:06:08.560
And so it starts with just getting that down
2633
01:06:08.969 --> 01:06:09.959
because then you can get the,
2634
01:06:10.010 --> 01:06:10.350
the,
2635
01:06:10.409 --> 01:06:11.229
like the real
2636
01:06:11.770 --> 01:06:13.409
breaking point for people is financial.
2637
01:06:13.770 --> 01:06:14.189
So
2638
01:06:14.530 --> 01:06:16.120
just the quickest way
2639
01:06:16.850 --> 01:06:20.439
to get more money in people's pockets is for the government to take less out.
2640
01:06:20.850 --> 01:06:22.709
And that's why my starting point is
2641
01:06:23.050 --> 01:06:23.889
state income tax,
2642
01:06:23.929 --> 01:06:25.280
which you directly control,
2643
01:06:25.649 --> 01:06:26.179
and if we,
2644
01:06:26.290 --> 01:06:27.229
if we just take,
2645
01:06:27.850 --> 01:06:28.989
take that level back down.
2646
01:06:29.620 --> 01:06:31.219
Your 1st $1,500,000
2647
01:06:31.379 --> 01:06:32.570
no state income tax.
2648
01:06:33.020 --> 01:06:34.370
Today actually that we're taping this,
2649
01:06:34.620 --> 01:06:37.179
we're putting out a very simple calculator.
2650
01:06:37.419 --> 01:06:38.780
You can go online,
2651
01:06:39.090 --> 01:06:40.739
save with Steve.vote,
2652
01:06:40.899 --> 01:06:41.280
right?
2653
01:06:41.860 --> 01:06:43.860
Savewith Steve.vote,
2654
01:06:44.179 --> 01:06:47.260
and you can put in how much you make and how much you pay
2655
01:06:47.580 --> 01:06:48.449
and see how much you make.
2656
01:06:48.659 --> 01:06:48.860
And,
2657
01:06:48.939 --> 01:06:50.820
and the difference between me and Bearrah
2658
01:06:51.260 --> 01:06:51.580
in the,
2659
01:06:51.649 --> 01:06:56.600
in the first year aggressive with tax is $11,000 for the typical family.
2660
01:06:57.020 --> 01:06:57.219
Right?
2661
01:06:57.459 --> 01:06:57.899
households,
2662
01:06:57.979 --> 01:06:59.260
$11,000 a year.
2663
01:06:59.669 --> 01:07:01.540
And because the secondly,
2664
01:07:01.760 --> 01:07:02.760
$3 gas,
2665
01:07:03.080 --> 01:07:04.060
that sounds
2666
01:07:04.360 --> 01:07:06.080
crazy when we're 6 whatever.
2667
01:07:06.639 --> 01:07:07.770
Before the Iran war,
2668
01:07:08.159 --> 01:07:11.360
there were 40 states in America with gas at $3 or below.
2669
01:07:11.679 --> 01:07:13.199
Most of them with no oil reserves.
2670
01:07:13.360 --> 01:07:13.840
We've got,
2671
01:07:14.040 --> 01:07:15.110
we've uh by some account,
2672
01:07:15.270 --> 01:07:17.080
the 2nd largest oil reserves in the world.
2673
01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:18.159
What are we doing
2674
01:07:18.280 --> 01:07:19.090
shipping oil halfway round?
2675
01:07:20.649 --> 01:07:21.899
The world from Iraq,
2676
01:07:22.010 --> 01:07:24.879
that's what we're doing chase them frigging all out of the state.
2677
01:07:25.020 --> 01:07:25.379
So all,
2678
01:07:25.500 --> 01:07:26.540
so we can reduce the,
2679
01:07:26.629 --> 01:07:26.929
the,
2680
01:07:27.010 --> 01:07:28.760
the hidden taxes on oil,
2681
01:07:28.979 --> 01:07:29.939
open up production,
2682
01:07:30.020 --> 01:07:31.479
simplify the regulations
2683
01:07:31.709 --> 01:07:32.520
to get down
2684
01:07:32.669 --> 01:07:33.780
to $3 gas.
2685
01:07:34.260 --> 01:07:35.500
Vehicle registration,
2686
01:07:35.580 --> 01:07:37.489
it's another really practical thing,
2687
01:07:37.780 --> 01:07:39.379
like to register your car
2688
01:07:39.659 --> 01:07:40.320
or your truck
2689
01:07:40.699 --> 01:07:41.770
in California.
2690
01:07:42.100 --> 01:07:43.219
I always do at our events,
2691
01:07:43.260 --> 01:07:43.850
we kind of,
2692
01:07:44.060 --> 01:07:44.540
I say,
2693
01:07:44.550 --> 01:07:46.540
people shout out $500 600 dollars,
2694
01:07:46.620 --> 01:07:47.739
$800 1200 dollars.
2695
01:07:48.830 --> 01:07:49.429
Other states,
2696
01:07:49.469 --> 01:07:50.510
people look at that and think,
2697
01:07:50.530 --> 01:07:50.949
what?
2698
01:07:51.030 --> 01:07:51.719
Thousands.
2699
01:07:51.750 --> 01:07:53.110
Like it's 50.
2700
01:07:53.389 --> 01:07:53.929
And so
2701
01:07:54.110 --> 01:07:56.219
my friends just like the friends who have money,
2702
01:07:56.350 --> 01:07:57.270
they don't pay that by the way,
2703
01:07:57.310 --> 01:07:58.919
they're just registered in another state,
2704
01:07:59.110 --> 01:07:59.250
exactly,
2705
01:07:59.419 --> 01:08:01.229
so we're gonna the poor people they can't do that.
2706
01:08:01.429 --> 01:08:01.610
Exactly,
2707
01:08:01.739 --> 01:08:03.530
so we're gonna cap vehicle registration.
2708
01:08:03.695 --> 01:08:05.294
The flat registration fee,
2709
01:08:05.495 --> 01:08:06.475
$73
2710
01:08:07.054 --> 01:08:09.054
so these practical things
2711
01:08:09.254 --> 01:08:10.584
that are just gonna help people,
2712
01:08:11.014 --> 01:08:11.455
um,
2713
01:08:11.854 --> 01:08:13.385
but then broader than that,
2714
01:08:13.655 --> 01:08:14.645
just sensible things,
2715
01:08:14.695 --> 01:08:15.054
for example,
2716
01:08:15.135 --> 01:08:15.945
in the schools,
2717
01:08:16.134 --> 01:08:16.435
like
2718
01:08:16.555 --> 01:08:19.254
less than half the kids in our schools can read
2719
01:08:19.774 --> 01:08:20.615
by 3rd grade.
2720
01:08:21.479 --> 01:08:22.359
Mississippi
2721
01:08:22.600 --> 01:08:24.020
has transformed their education.
2722
01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:26.979
They've gone in the last 10 years from bottom to top
2723
01:08:27.479 --> 01:08:28.910
of the league tables for reading,
2724
01:08:29.080 --> 01:08:31.799
with simple practical things like using phonics
2725
01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:33.839
in the classroom to teach kids to read.
2726
01:08:34.129 --> 01:08:35.750
If you don't read by 3rd grade,
2727
01:08:36.040 --> 01:08:37.720
you don't go up to 4th grade,
2728
01:08:38.040 --> 01:08:38.669
and you repeat,
2729
01:08:38.879 --> 01:08:40.549
just simple basic things.
2730
01:08:40.790 --> 01:08:41.950
It's because if you can't read,
2731
01:08:42.000 --> 01:08:42.979
you can't learn.
2732
01:08:43.359 --> 01:08:44.029
And so
2733
01:08:44.479 --> 01:08:46.080
these are the things we're gonna get done here,
2734
01:08:46.279 --> 01:08:46.520
like,
2735
01:08:46.600 --> 01:08:47.220
really,
2736
01:08:47.839 --> 01:08:49.359
none of it is complicated.
2737
01:08:49.779 --> 01:08:50.020
And,
2738
01:08:50.089 --> 01:08:52.140
and that's what I always say that California's amazing.
2739
01:08:52.220 --> 01:08:53.180
We don't need
2740
01:08:53.459 --> 01:08:54.450
like other states,
2741
01:08:54.700 --> 01:08:55.919
you may need to have,
2742
01:08:56.299 --> 01:08:56.529
you know,
2743
01:08:56.819 --> 01:08:57.080
creative,
2744
01:08:57.299 --> 01:08:59.759
clever policies to attract people there and
2745
01:09:01.549 --> 01:09:01.560
build,
2746
01:09:01.569 --> 01:09:04.910
not in basically people wanna be in California cos it's amazing
2747
01:09:05.060 --> 01:09:06.720
and we're driving people away
2748
01:09:06.939 --> 01:09:09.509
and all we've got to do is for the government to,
2749
01:09:10.020 --> 01:09:10.379
I mean the,
2750
01:09:10.459 --> 01:09:12.919
the sort of the simplest way I can put it is that
2751
01:09:13.419 --> 01:09:15.120
we've just become this kind of.
2752
01:09:15.479 --> 01:09:16.359
Massive,
2753
01:09:16.439 --> 01:09:17.160
bloated,
2754
01:09:17.240 --> 01:09:18.240
nanny state,
2755
01:09:18.319 --> 01:09:19.720
bureaucratic government,
2756
01:09:19.970 --> 01:09:21.459
bossing everyone around
2757
01:09:21.640 --> 01:09:22.919
from morning till night,
2758
01:09:23.160 --> 01:09:24.229
how to raise your kids,
2759
01:09:24.479 --> 01:09:25.359
how to run your business,
2760
01:09:25.439 --> 01:09:26.509
what car to drive,
2761
01:09:26.839 --> 01:09:27.000
you know,
2762
01:09:27.080 --> 01:09:27.919
how to cook your food,
2763
01:09:28.040 --> 01:09:28.939
no gas stoves,
2764
01:09:29.120 --> 01:09:29.479
what,
2765
01:09:29.729 --> 01:09:30.959
what kind of house to live in.
2766
01:09:31.350 --> 01:09:32.399
Leave us alone.
2767
01:09:32.879 --> 01:09:33.680
Leave us alone,
2768
01:09:33.799 --> 01:09:34.520
and we'll be fine.
2769
01:09:34.899 --> 01:09:36.740
Because we're an amazing state
2770
01:09:36.899 --> 01:09:38.529
with some of the best entrepreneurs,
2771
01:09:38.740 --> 01:09:39.580
the best energy,
2772
01:09:39.620 --> 01:09:40.919
we've got that rebel spirit,
2773
01:09:41.459 --> 01:09:42.740
West Coast vibe,
2774
01:09:43.100 --> 01:09:43.479
freedom,
2775
01:09:43.620 --> 01:09:43.810
you know,
2776
01:09:43.859 --> 01:09:44.180
that's,
2777
01:09:44.299 --> 01:09:44.899
that's us.
2778
01:09:45.339 --> 01:09:46.080
That's why I love it here,
2779
01:09:46.259 --> 01:09:47.290
that's why I feel at home here,
2780
01:09:47.339 --> 01:09:47.959
I feel
2781
01:09:48.259 --> 01:09:51.040
like that spirit of California's being crushed.
2782
01:09:51.379 --> 01:09:52.819
That's what I want to unleash.
2783
01:09:53.060 --> 01:09:53.209
It,
2784
01:09:53.299 --> 01:09:55.140
it unquestionably has,
2785
01:09:55.299 --> 01:09:55.459
you know,
2786
01:09:55.540 --> 01:09:55.620
I,
2787
01:09:55.700 --> 01:09:56.049
I mean,
2788
01:09:56.100 --> 01:09:56.299
and,
2789
01:09:56.310 --> 01:09:56.660
and
2790
01:09:56.930 --> 01:09:57.839
I'll end on this note,
2791
01:09:58.270 --> 01:09:58.290
I,
2792
01:09:58.339 --> 01:09:59.580
I grew up here.
2793
01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:02.899
I'm a California kid.
2794
01:10:03.580 --> 01:10:03.629
Yes,
2795
01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:06.020
I've said this before and I'm going to say it again.
2796
01:10:06.759 --> 01:10:07.470
By the way,
2797
01:10:07.640 --> 01:10:07.750
and,
2798
01:10:07.830 --> 01:10:08.359
and I went,
2799
01:10:08.479 --> 01:10:10.100
I went viral for this line.
2800
01:10:10.629 --> 01:10:11.589
I got a black kid,
2801
01:10:11.669 --> 01:10:12.580
a brown one,
2802
01:10:12.669 --> 01:10:13.290
I'm gay,
2803
01:10:13.509 --> 01:10:14.470
my mom's a Jew,
2804
01:10:14.589 --> 01:10:15.379
my dad's an Arab.
2805
01:10:15.540 --> 01:10:15.830
OK,
2806
01:10:15.950 --> 01:10:16.270
like I,
2807
01:10:16.350 --> 01:10:17.149
I hold a lot of,
2808
01:10:17.229 --> 01:10:19.049
like I've got all the cards.
2809
01:10:19.390 --> 01:10:21.259
I grew up here
2810
01:10:21.830 --> 01:10:25.000
to send me flying from this state.
2811
01:10:25.129 --> 01:10:25.399
Yes,
2812
01:10:25.709 --> 01:10:26.290
yes.
2813
01:10:27.029 --> 01:10:27.640
You
2814
01:10:27.790 --> 01:10:30.770
have gone to the darkest pits of despair.
2815
01:10:31.109 --> 01:10:32.140
That's exactly right.
2816
01:10:32.430 --> 01:10:33.069
And you know,
2817
01:10:33.149 --> 01:10:38.709
I see it in everybody who's laughed from Elon Musk to Joe Rogan to PBD as we discussed,
2818
01:10:38.759 --> 01:10:39.229
that are like,
2819
01:10:39.350 --> 01:10:39.729
Steve,
2820
01:10:39.910 --> 01:10:40.310
man.
2821
01:10:41.080 --> 01:10:42.310
How can we help you?
2822
01:10:42.560 --> 01:10:42.680
Well,
2823
01:10:42.720 --> 01:10:43.160
that's it.
2824
01:10:43.319 --> 01:10:44.399
If there's anything,
2825
01:10:44.830 --> 01:10:45.120
anything,
2826
01:10:45.189 --> 01:10:45.509
you know,
2827
01:10:45.799 --> 01:10:47.240
just the one thing here,
2828
01:10:47.319 --> 01:10:50.100
but I would love to see this one place come like
2829
01:10:50.359 --> 01:10:51.479
back from the dead.
2830
01:10:51.560 --> 01:10:55.080
It's devastating to watch and all the people that are stuck here.
2831
01:10:55.279 --> 01:10:55.500
Yes,
2832
01:10:55.640 --> 01:10:58.160
well this is why I'm really in the last stages,
2833
01:10:58.240 --> 01:10:58.399
you know,
2834
01:10:58.439 --> 01:10:58.589
I've,
2835
01:10:58.640 --> 01:10:58.870
I've I've,
2836
01:10:58.899 --> 01:11:01.029
I'm going to wake up California.
2837
01:11:01.040 --> 01:11:02.540
I've been going around saying that because
2838
01:11:02.720 --> 01:11:03.939
I think there's a certain,
2839
01:11:04.120 --> 01:11:05.379
it's so long
2840
01:11:05.589 --> 01:11:05.879
since we've.
2841
01:11:06.089 --> 01:11:06.430
Had
2842
01:11:06.930 --> 01:11:08.399
anything other than these Democrats,
2843
01:11:08.649 --> 01:11:10.669
that people are kind of sleepwalking
2844
01:11:11.049 --> 01:11:13.609
into 4 more years of this disaster
2845
01:11:13.850 --> 01:11:14.290
and saying no,
2846
01:11:14.359 --> 01:11:14.770
wake up,
2847
01:11:14.810 --> 01:11:16.330
we can actually change this.
2848
01:11:16.569 --> 01:11:17.770
We really can.
2849
01:11:18.060 --> 01:11:19.669
It's not inevitable
2850
01:11:19.830 --> 01:11:21.520
that this guy wins at all,
2851
01:11:21.770 --> 01:11:22.609
even at this stage,
2852
01:11:22.689 --> 01:11:22.850
you know,
2853
01:11:22.910 --> 01:11:24.399
the ballots are about to go out,
2854
01:11:24.729 --> 01:11:25.850
we can do this.
2855
01:11:26.100 --> 01:11:27.270
And I say to a lot of,
2856
01:11:27.370 --> 01:11:27.490
you know,
2857
01:11:27.560 --> 01:11:28.450
in the final stages,
2858
01:11:28.490 --> 01:11:29.669
we've got some great ads
2859
01:11:29.890 --> 01:11:30.669
going out,
2860
01:11:31.810 --> 01:11:33.149
which are going to really
2861
01:11:33.410 --> 01:11:34.770
make the point that this is.
2862
01:11:35.310 --> 01:11:35.680
You know,
2863
01:11:35.879 --> 01:11:37.879
it's just about a bit of balance,
2864
01:11:37.959 --> 01:11:38.240
right,
2865
01:11:39.160 --> 01:11:39.640
we've had,
2866
01:11:39.799 --> 01:11:41.140
we've had 16 years
2867
01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:42.790
of trying it their way,
2868
01:11:43.200 --> 01:11:43.560
right?
2869
01:11:43.879 --> 01:11:44.240
I mean,
2870
01:11:44.520 --> 01:11:45.390
what more time
2871
01:11:46.200 --> 01:11:47.500
or power do they need
2872
01:11:48.319 --> 01:11:49.790
to show that they can do their thing.
2873
01:11:50.379 --> 01:11:51.419
Just give it a chance,
2874
01:11:51.680 --> 01:11:52.399
give it a chance,
2875
01:11:52.600 --> 01:11:53.830
try something different,
2876
01:11:54.200 --> 01:11:55.509
just see how that goes.
2877
01:11:55.839 --> 01:11:58.020
And I think there's a majority for that.
2878
01:11:58.560 --> 01:11:59.100
No I think,
2879
01:11:59.279 --> 01:11:59.750
I know,
2880
01:11:59.919 --> 01:12:01.299
I mean if you look at the polls.
2881
01:12:01.680 --> 01:12:02.220
Um,
2882
01:12:02.640 --> 01:12:04.509
regardless of where they're from,
2883
01:12:04.759 --> 01:12:06.000
there's one consistent thing.
2884
01:12:06.399 --> 01:12:09.799
There is a majority of Californians in every poll
2885
01:12:10.000 --> 01:12:12.709
who say the state's going in the wrong direction and needs change.
2886
01:12:12.959 --> 01:12:13.069
So,
2887
01:12:13.080 --> 01:12:13.439
OK,
2888
01:12:13.720 --> 01:12:13.919
fine,
2889
01:12:14.120 --> 01:12:14.680
let's do it,
2890
01:12:14.759 --> 01:12:15.330
let's do it.
2891
01:12:16.970 --> 01:12:17.129
Well,
2892
01:12:17.209 --> 01:12:18.390
I'm here to help
2893
01:12:18.569 --> 01:12:19.870
in any way that you need.
2894
01:12:20.049 --> 01:12:23.000
I'm grateful that you took this on because God knows you don't need it.
2895
01:12:23.240 --> 01:12:23.359
Thank you.
2896
01:12:23.649 --> 01:12:24.149
And
2897
01:12:24.290 --> 01:12:24.560
I,
2898
01:12:24.649 --> 01:12:25.439
I'm rooting for you,
2899
01:12:25.450 --> 01:12:25.759
boss.
2900
01:12:25.799 --> 01:12:26.689
I'm in your corner.
2901
01:12:26.870 --> 01:12:27.890
Call on me anytime.
2902
01:12:28.209 --> 01:12:29.520
Where do we need to go to support you?
2903
01:12:29.609 --> 01:12:30.290
Tell everybody everything.
2904
01:12:30.350 --> 01:12:30.569
Very good,
2905
01:12:30.680 --> 01:12:30.850
thank you.

I mean we've got to,
2911
01:12:40.529 --> 01:12:41.990
it's that sense of a movement
2912
01:12:42.649 --> 01:12:43.569
that we gotta get going.
2913
01:12:43.990 --> 01:12:44.830
And then we can do this,
2914
01:12:44.910 --> 01:12:45.430

01:12:45.629 --> 01:12:46.310
really can.
