Speaker 1 (00:00):
What to do when a wonderful place, an incredible place, scenic,
one of the most exciting and dynamic places on earth,
the great state of California, becomes an s show. What
do you? What do you do about that? What the
hell is going on? Not not out of dislike or hatred,

(00:21):
but out of love. I'm reminded of the Armstrong and
Gutty t shirt castigat ridendo mores mockery teaches manners. It
brings the truth to light. Hence the brand new Armstrong
and Getty feature Cloudifornia. Welcome to Clounifornia, where l a

(00:47):
Superior Court George Terry Green just talks atout California's corporate
diversity law that required publicly held corporations include racial minorities
and members of the LGBTQ community on their executive boards.
The judge said, this is unconstitutional. In fact, it's so
clearly obviously unconstitutional. There isn't any need for a trial.

(01:09):
So what's the uh? What's the I think it's awful,
it would be awful and unworkable in reality. But what's
the constitutional principle that you can't have a state demand
that a corporation employ certain people? You can't make me
as a private company. See, I gotta have this many
of this color gender people. Okay, yeah, I get it,
but it's completely unworkable anyway, it's just in practice, it

(01:31):
would have never been possible. Well well, right, and and
this is why it's clown Afornia, because this stuff is
so clownish lye idiotic. You can't believe a grown up
would think about it. But if I'm sitting on the
board of California Amalgamated whatever I like, Jim, California Amalgamated Gin,
it's delicious. I cannot be on that board because they

(01:55):
don't have a gay guy. But if I start having
sex with guys, I can be on that board or
claim I am or claim I am right, just utterly clownish.
Then this story clown Afornia, come on now? Or if
you just to take that last when you know or
if you got a great grandmother or so you're told,
who was black, you'd be black enough to qualify for

(02:16):
one of the positions. It's a good point. Yeah, yeah,
so moving along, you know what, Michael, we gotta make
it so the clowning and the clown music can continue
in the background. I think that would be appropriate. But anyway,
San Rafell, California, there's a couple of homeless people who
are suing the city of San Rafel because the homeless
camp that they demanded be set up isn't good enough
for them. They don't like it. It's too noisy, uh,

(02:40):
And so they're suing for hundreds of thousands of dollars
homeless bump camp. I don't like this homeless bump camp.
You need to make it nicer, I demanded me. Nicer.
I have rights, you know, right, And they're suing hundreds
of thousands of dollars, which will cost the city tens
of thousands at the very least to fight unless they
just god. Meanwhile, in Clunifornia, across the Bay Bridge into

(03:04):
the Great City of San Francisco, a group of mothers
has paid for a billboard that reads famous the world
over for our brains, our beauty, and now dirt cheap fentanyl.
Close the open air drug markets. I'm reminded of the
fact that fentinyl killed way more people than gun violence

(03:27):
last year and COVID, right, that's right in COVID. But
there's no aage over that. Evidently, there's no desire to
close the border. It set us. So now you have
mothers taking out billboards begging the authorities to shut down.
And I know what you're thinking. In Omaha, I know
what you're thinking in Indianapolis and and all over the country.
In Phoenix, wait a minute, they have like picture this

(03:51):
a craft fair. You got one guy who paints pictures
of owls on trees. You've got somebody who crafts those
welcome to the Jones House signs. Whatever. You've got some
jewelry makers. You've got a gal who does flowing dresses
except picture fentnyl and crack and coke and whatever. Yeah,
open air drug markets in San Francisco, don't drop it.

(04:14):
I know, gaffy and people dropping like flies from overdose.
In San Francisco, way more people died of fentinyl than covid.
The tour of California points is the point being. They
didn't shut the city down for fentinyl deaths and aren't
going to, but did shut the city down for COVID jack.
They're not even shooting shutting down the freaking drug dealers.

(04:37):
Never mind the city Palm Springs, California. Their woke council
has voted on a pilot scheme to pay twenty transgender
residents up to nine dollars a month in a universal
basic income text test, So universal basic income if you're trans.
But even the city's trans mayor admits that the administration

(05:00):
to set up the program is gonna cost way more
than the money that they give out to anybody. Oh boy,
and that's taxpayer money, folks. Unfreaking believable. It's just well,
it's clownish. I guess my favorite story is probably the

(05:25):
judge who said to the governor, he said to the Assembly,
he said to the Senate, you're not serious with this crap,
are you. You're telling you're telling your establishing quotas for
corporate boards. Get this crap out of here. I don't
have time for this. Well, I was afraid that that
was gonna still a lot of businesses. Were afraid that

(05:45):
was gonna stick. A lot of businesses and threatened to
leave the state if it's stuck. Yeah. Yeah, Well, at
least Judge Green um is is sane and and and
and made the ruling he did. Wall Street Journal editorial
board said State Judge Terry Green didn't explain his reasoning
for enjoining the parties perhaps because it's so clearly violates

(06:06):
equal protection, etcetera. And then they hope that that will
be applied to universities as well that do similar things,
just through different means. So anyway, welcome to Calanifornia, Armstrong
and yet
