Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcoming back to the show John Gordon, host of the
syndicated show The Truth with John Gordon. He was a
Trump endorsed candidate to be a Georgia's Attorney general twenty
twenty two. And we're talking a whole things, well, not
necessarily all things Newsome in California in general. But this
is interesting to me, John, what our liaison kind of
(00:24):
drew up And I don't even know if you saw it,
the belief that that Newsome his gamble. This is he's
basically right now, he's sacrificed, sacrificing Californians to fuel presidential ambitions.
Do you do you agree with that? You think that's possible?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Of course it is. He's a political animal, and he's
also a liar, just like Maxine Waters who said, oh,
these protests are peaceful, they're not violent, while we're seeing
people burning and dropping cinderblocks on police cards and hurling
rocks at police officers and national guards. It's not violent.
(01:04):
These are peaceful protests. And the Democrats can't figure out
why they keep losing. They keep losing because they keep
lying and I'm sick of it.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah. The only reason I asked the question with that
tone is I just feel like Newsom and have a chance.
In how I don't feel like there's a lot of
Californians who feel like he's even doing a good job
as governor, never mind that he would as president. I
feel like what that would be a run in vain.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Well. The problem is there are enough left leaning people
in America that they will sacrifice their ethics and their
values to elect somebody who wants to turn our country
into a socialist, communist state. And therein lies the problem.
I mean, our country is about as evenly divided as
you can get, except Donald Trump changed the narrative in No.
(01:56):
Fifth twenty twenty four when he got seventy seven million boots.
I think that Trump is one of a kind. I
don't know what the lineup will look like in twenty eight.
Certainly Donald Trump's not going to be on the ticket,
although I think he'll be a major factor. And who
gets to be president I do too, it's not going
to be Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I sweat twenty eight on the daily, which is no
way to live, but I can't help it. I just
I feel like it's going to be any demil do
I feel like that's going to be the basically the
campaign slogan, any demildo you.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Get eight percent of the vote just coming out of
a choot as a Democrat. Ie Kamala Harra and Kamala
Harris is somebody who could put two sentences together that
was intelligible. I tell you somebody I'm warming up to
a little bit. I do not like the way he dresses.
I consider it disrespectful to every member of the United
States Senate not to mention the constituents and the people
(02:50):
of America. But at least John Fetterman is periodically willing
to tell the truth. And he said, Democrats, this is
not the hill they should be dying on.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
California is on fire. And for the Dems to continue
to do the same stuff they do, I llah Adam
Shift and now Adam Kensinger and Pelosi, and I don't
think they have figured out that we have the Internet
in America today, and we have podcasters like myself and
(03:22):
independent journalists who actually do dig into the stories and
tell the truth, and so there is a check and balance.
But they're still mired in the sixties and seventies where
they think that they can make up a narrative and
cram it down the throats of the American people and
that they'll buy it. I think those days are coming
to an end. As you see CNN's viewership decline into
(03:46):
the low four hundred thousands, down from I believe a
two million high water mark. We are beginning to balance
the scales in a major league way, and that's a
good thing.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
It's interesting not only that you bring up a fatterman,
because that kind of took me a little bit by surprise.
I think it was just a tweet yesterday, but he
called it right out.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I happened to believe that John Fetterman is very bright.
Fetterman broke the conventions, and I think there was an
appeal to a lot of the Colm folk.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, so I think the guy got to let's be honest.
I mean, the name of your show is the truth
with John Gordon. I think Fetterman got too close to
death to keep ignoring. You don't get that close to
death and not start calling it like you see it.
Everything every day is precious and when you see the
endgame is om the present. I think he got too
(04:39):
close to death. His health is a is a very
real issue that's that's the one thing that would hold
him back too. But he's not playing. He knows every
day is precious. He learned that lesson the hard way.
We all say it, we send those memes to each other.
He lived it, he survived it. Well.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I think that's a really insightful observation. You know, I
had the benefit as a young person growing up in
the church. My parents took me every Sunday morning, we
went back on Sunday night I did the NYF and
on Wednesday night fat Friday night, Saturday. And for me
(05:16):
it was part recreational, part social. And then of course
I learned a lot about the Bible, and I learned
about God, and so I am fearful of the afterlife.
It does give me a presence of mind when I
have decisions to make, and my goal is to get
(05:38):
into heaven. And a lot of people I think have
been denied that opportunity or it wasn't presented to them,
and maybe they don't believe, and maybe they don't believe
in an afterlife. Well, for me, it is a guiding light.
I mean, I don't want to take a risk of
being doomed to hades for eternity that is the fate
that I'm not willing to work with. So evidently these
(06:02):
other people are not wired the same way, and that's
a problem. When you don't have a conscience and you
don't have a moral compass, it's very easy to make
bad decisions. And I think that's what we're seeing played
out in a lot of these cases with national politicians
who just stand before the cameras with cars burning in
the background, rioters banging sledge cameras against way Moau cars
(06:28):
in the streets of Los Angeles, and then having the
gall and the nerve tell us that they're peaceful protests.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Oh yeah, do that. Don't believe your eyes, believe the
lies again, wrong with John Gordon.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Somebody do that with any kind of a conscience or
care about their credibility.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, now I'm the truth with John Gordon. Tell me
how you're tackling what the Treasury the Secretary Scott Best
and you know his accusation. As far as Newsome is concerned,
a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Of information is coming at me this week.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
He accused Newsome of threatening doesn't even make sense to me,
of threatening to commit tax evasion.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, he said that California owed the federal government twenty
billion dollars. Maybe they just wouldn't pay it. That that
that team out yesterday. I forgot it for a moment.
But yeah, yeah, I mean I think a lot of
it is just political posturing. Oh, come blotting me up,
Donald Trump, See how that?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well, I saw him say that too. Yeah I did too. Yeah.
You know, he spent the day yesterday, John Curiously enough,
he spent the day yesterday replying to tweets. But you know,
people who are criticizing him, you're in the middle of
something like that, you got to put the phone down,
or but you keep it in your hand for emergence,
(07:45):
not to come up with clever quips, zingers for out
of work actors who are saying you're letting where they
work burn. You got to put the phone down.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I think it is a reflection of the measure of
incompetence shared between him and the mayor of Los Angeles, who,
by the way, was in Africa, which is what she was.
One thing she promised that she would not do during
her campaign for mayor. She said she would not leave
the city to go on boondoggles. But she got caught
(08:17):
because she was in Africa when the fires broke out.
She was nowhere to be found, and the amount of
incompetence is just raging. And I think that's that's the
compartment that I put in newsam in right now. He
thinks that printing is more important than getting on the
ground and encouraging people to be peaceful and not throw
(08:37):
projectiles at police officers and National guardsmen and now the Marines.
But I can't get they cannot get outside of themselves.
