California GOP Chairwoman Corrin Rankin

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'd like to welcome to the show. The California GOP
chair woman, Karen rankin mis Ryan could welcome to the show.
Thank you for being.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Here, thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
And I had to make sure. I went on to
hear how all the big TV people say your name correctly?
I did say it correctly, didn't I?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yes, you did?

Speaker 1 (00:19):
All right? Karin, give us your LinkedIn your elevator ride resume.
You took over for Patterson in January, the California GOP
chair How did it all start? Your love for politics?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
I think my love for politics started when this was
a small business owner and a family business, and when
our business became under attack, that really prompted me to
start looking at why politicians do the things they do.
I couldn't understand why they would go after small businesses

(00:55):
in the way that they did. And the more I
started digging, the more I discovered and learned that I
have to get into politics. I have to do what
I can to save my family's business. And just the
more I got involved, the more I realize that people
like me are needed in politics, more business minded people,

(01:18):
more everyday people from just every walk of life. Just
really it's important to spend some of your time being
involved in the political aspect because there's a lot of
things that get passed in Sacramento that affect your everyday life.
And you know, they're passing hundreds upon hundreds of bills
every single year, and they affect you.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
They really do. You know, you can go to college
and get your degree in political science and get right
into politics. That's fine. But I like, well like President Trump.
I like business people because they're good at being relatable
to people. They understand it, they've run something. I think
too many people in government have never even on a
PTA snack bar. Right, So it's good. And you mentioned

(02:04):
being a Californian business owner, and it reminded me of
a friend of mine who probably fifteen years ago now
started a business in California. And he came back and
he said, it says, if the state doesn't even want
you to do it, he goes, they make you jump
through so many loopholes.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
They make you jump through so many loopholes, and then
every time you turn around, they're passing bills to tax
you or to add more regulations. It's tough.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
What was your first political adventure into.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I think I ran for city council in twenty thirteen.
That was my first political venture. So I just kind
of jumped in with both feet, jumped into the deep end.
And I lost by about nine hundred votes. And the
local Republican Party called me. They said, we watched your campaign.
We think you did an excellent job, and we'd like
you to start getting involved in the state party and

(02:56):
at just you know, from then.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
On to b of the Woods of California where you in.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Sam Michael County. I live in Mental Park, Redwood City.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Okay, gotcha, And they saw that and you got involved
with that. We'll see. Look that goes to show. I'm
sure you were pretty uh down to you know, your
first venture, wanted to to win the city council race
and you didn't. But but look how look what opened up.
There's too many stories like that, that's right, So never
shake yourself off.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Well there's another one opens, that's right.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Well, I've had five clothes in a row, but maybe
that sixth one will open.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Right.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Hey, Now, when you became the new California g O
Peak chair, now I hear, I don't know, so I'm
going to ask you, uh you you fired some people.
You came in, you made some changes. Why'd you do that?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well, I didn't.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
I think that.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm not on you for it. I just want to
know why you why you did it, and what needed
to change. Yeah, it's not a gotcha why did you
do that? But yeah, I'd like to know.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well, I think that in any transition, when you come
in with a new chair, I think it's pretty customary.
That's what's happened for the past four or five chairs
before me. You kind of just come in and you
bring your own people. It's the same thing they do
in the White House when presidents turn over, they bring
in their own people. There's a group of people that
I've worked with for many, many years and we have

(04:15):
a really great relationship, and I think the other people
are fantastic too. You know, this is a tough job,
and after doing it for four to six years, you
know a lot of people are ready to move on
to something else. So it kind of always works out
kind of perfectly. Whenever there's a transition.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Lay out the job description, what is it, what's your responsibilities?
What do you do every day?

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Well, right now I am working to defeat Pop fifty,
and that's pretty much what I do from the moment
I wake up in the morning till the moment I'm
able to fall asleep there late at night.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
I was going to say, that's ten full time jobs
here in California. It is. We got our know on
fifty tomorrow, we're asking people to come out to the
press box, sports grill and earned in there right next
to all these and drop your ballots off, and we're
going to tell people how to get involved. Well, give
us your take. I learned something every time I interview somebody.
Give us your prop fifty take.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Well, okay, so I'm really glad you asked and I'm
glad you asked it in that way because I have
a little fun fact history that I always like to
share with people in regards to the redistricting efforts in California.
So a lot of times what you hear from the
proponents is that this is about Texas and this is

(05:35):
about the president. But what they don't tell you is
that in two thousand and eight, voters created the Independent
Redistricting Commission. So here in California, our maps used to
be drawn by the California Legislator, and in two thousand
and eight, voters decided we no longer want that. We
want the citizens to draw the maps and decide how

(05:56):
our communities look and who's going to represent us. So
in two thousand and eight, it was on the ballot
and voters decided to create this independent Redistricting Commission. In
twenty ten, the legislator put another proposition on the ballot,
and that was to claw back the Independent Redistricting Commission,
And there was a competing measure on the ballot that
the stet was that you could vote for that said

(06:18):
we're going to keep the Independent Redistricting Commission for legislative
seats and we're going to expand it into congressional districts.
So the voters rejected the clawback and voted to keep
the Independent Redistricting Commission and expand it. So here we
are in twenty twenty five and it's back on the

(06:39):
ballot for the third time. So when you hear the
proponents tell you that this is about Texas or this
is about Trump, this is not about Texas or Trump,
because they have done this already once before. They're just
using this as another opportunity to try and take our
rights away.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
No no, no, I saw on YouTube ad last night,
Padia knew from their saving democracy from President Trump. I
when this first came out, When it first came out,
I go ahead.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
I was going to say, the real attack on democracy
is the Democratic Party. So the real attack of on
California voters, and that's happening in Sacramento. You know, instead
of fixing problems like affordability, crime, homelessness, they're trying to
rewrite the maps to protect their seats. So this is
not about protecting democracy, this is about protecting themselves.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yes, and as we defeat fifty, then we got a
spotlight those citizens on that public commission, with that jerry mandering. Already,
they've already had the upper hand in this state. It's
kind of you know, polls or polls. I'm sure you
know that, but some of the early polls, this was
done by a research firm called Coefficient. They pulled one
hundred likely voters and it looks like the majority fifty

(08:00):
four percent say this support the measure. We'll see November fourth.
They sure would be a good thumping to new So
my guest is a California GOP chairwoman, Karen Rankin. I'm
sure being outspent, I've seen some of the money. But
didn't you get some congressional fund I think was it
five million to fight No On fifty?

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yes, we did, we did, and we have more coming
in today that we're going to announce tomorrow. So we've
got another He's got a lot of momentum on our side.
So we were able to raise almost another million dollars today.
So I'm really excited about that.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
I guess that's part of your job fundraising obviously, right, Yes, Yes,
that's a tough that's a tough gig, gas amboy for money.
With those millions that are coming in, how does the
state GOP, like, how do they assist local gop with
the No On fifty?

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well, the local gops are doing a fantastic job. So
we've got a statewide political director that helps organize a
lot of GOOTV efforts. Our partners at the Republican National
are helping us to fund our phone banking. We're doing
door knocking every single weekend. We're making phone calls to voters,

(09:17):
and then all with the moneies that's been raised to
fight Prop fifty, we are going to be making sure
that we are reaching all of the Republicans. So we're
going to be sending text messages. You might get one
around seven o'clock tonight. We'll send those text messages to
remind people that how important it is to get their

(09:38):
ballot out of the mailbox, open the envelope, mark no
on Prop fifty, put it back in the envelope, and
send it back. And we want people to vote early
because we have to make this too big to rig.
So we want to make sure that every Republican turns
out in this election. Now there's a lot of undecided

(09:59):
voters and a lot of Republicans. We do not want
them sitting home.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
I learned this last election with these text messages. Should
we alert the California GOP, Hey we voted. We already voted,
so that you stopped texting and it doesn't cost your money.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
So we get our updates from the ROVs, the Secretary
of State, so we'll know that you voted and won't
get any more.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Text Okay, So get those ballots in so they don't
have to waste. Because I was a guy that hung
out to I like to vote, or at least drop
it off on election day. It's kind of Chris. I
don't open gifts on Christmas, even I vote on election day.
I'm that guy, and I kept getting all the text
messages and then I found out, Wait, I'm charging all
these Republicans. They keep sending me all this stuff. So

(10:42):
I guess, right, I need to get it in speak. Okay,
the money, the milady, know.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
How you're going to vote? Please just vote early. Yeah,
let us let us spend our resources connecting with people
who are maybe undecided.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Right, I want to understand the resources the millions coming
in to that. Does that literally filter out or is
it decided in Sacramento.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
It's going to be It's decided here in Sacramento, and
it's going to be deployed and spent to, you know,
reach out to Republicans voters and make sure that we're
getting everybody to turn out.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
All right, She's the California GOP chairwoman Coaren Ranking. In closing,
thank you for your time, But you obviously represent the GOP.
But what do you say directly to like a maybe
a Democrat in your neighborhood? You know, what what do
you say to them? It's such an open window right
now for Republicans to get the right message out because
the state's not in good shape. What would you say

(11:39):
to Democrat listeners listening right now, I.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Would say that, you know, there are research shows and
pulling shows that the majority of Californians think that California
is going in the wrong direction, and Republicans are not
responsible for that. There's a supermajority in Sacramento and its Democrats.
So if you think that that the state is going
in the wrong direction, the only party to blame is

(12:04):
the Democrats. And what I would say about redistricting, you know,
independent redistricting doesn't favor Republicans or Democrats. It favors the voters.
And that's why we are urging people to vote no.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yes, I think a good commercial. I don't know what
copyrights and all this and if Steve Martin would allow it,
but planes, trains, and automobiles, remember John Candy and Steve Martin,
You're going the wrong way. That's what we need to
yell to the state of California.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Right, Yes we do, Yes, we do well.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Karen Rankin, it's good to meet you on the phone here,
and you've been in for ten months and we'll keep tracking.
And I guess what we'd say in closing together is
no one fifty that's right.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Vote No. Top fifty make it too big to rid.
Vote early.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Thank you for your time, all right, thank you, you
bet all over the place.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
No.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
One fifty two are tomorrow at this time will be
out with the s Mom and Carl to my his
tour rolling thood Town Reform, California. We're teaming up three
to six at the press Box Sports Grill. That's seventeen
eighty five Herndon, right there on the northwest corner of
Herndon and Fowler, right next to Aldi's. And I was
actually gonna go do a little shopping after director Ryan

(13:16):
Nichel gave me that idea. I'm right there. But John
Shabbaglian has an event that I was going to, So
my Aldie is going to be put off. I'll be
going over to his event. I tell you he's something else.
Man over singing at the at the Vatican. So looking
forward to tomorrow. Drop your ballads off. You can do
it right there to us. I'll put it in my
trunk driving around town for a while, forget about, and

(13:38):
then drop it off in time. I promise you. It's
ballad harvesting. That's how we how we do it. But
if you can't make it out tomorrow. You'll be able
to hear how you can get involved, and we'd love
to meet you tomorrow three to six at the press
box on Herndon.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
This is the Trevor Kerry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Send out a mail in ballot to a woman that's
been dead for more than thirty years.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
Los Angeles resident Jeff Barry received three ballots, one for him,
one for his wife, and a third ballot for someone
he doesn't know, Winona m McGuire. It was not the
family from whom we bought the house last spring, and
I wasn't familiar with it, so I googled it and
I was a bit surprised by what I found. Barry

(14:20):
discovered that the person's name who was on the third
ballot passed away back in nineteen ninety four.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
That's true because it's true.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
And I think it's true to say that election integrity
is alive and well in Gavin Newsom's California. Dead people
getting ballot? How many of these situations are around this state?
We heard in Maine two hundred and fifty ballots arrived
at some lady's house in an Amazon box. What if

(14:49):
she didn't report it that lady could have voted two
hundred and fifty times.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
I guess Wenona m McGuire has been dead for thirty
one years.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
We get jump mail all the time for tenants, and
the people that moved into our house probably get junk
mail for us.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
And you throw it away. But this was very different,
and we're not talking about someone that passed away a
year or two ago.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
It does seem like that death certificate should have made
its way to your office.

Speaker 6 (15:14):
Right And I'd have to look at that specific case
to see if that death certificate has the same matching
criteria that would enable us to match it.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
That's a clerk and recorder of La County there. Cal
Matters had an article about what's coming to California as well.
It looks like the homeless industrial complex is going to
be taking quite a bit of a hit because of
the federal government cutting the housing funds. Because here in California,
they say, experts agree the most effective way to solve
homelessness is to give permanent housing first. Nobody thinks this

(15:49):
way ever. In your own personal life, if you have
somebody that's having drug issues, the first conversation isn't, well,
let's co sign them for a lease. All right, Yeah,
that's a good idea. Nobody does that. Marissa Kendall at
cal Matter said, it's likely gonna reverse recent progress in

(16:09):
the state's homeless program progress. How do you even chart it.
We can't even account it. We can't even account for
the twenty three billion in spending, and you call that progress.
You are going to have organizations like the Santa Sauce
County Continuum of Care. It's part of the housing industrial complex.
And I'm not going to say there aren't people that work

(16:31):
there that don't have a heart for people that are
down and out. But your battle plan is failing. It's wrong.
We're down seventy two to nothing in halftime. Let's get
a new playbook. Your plan is not working. So they're
gonna be losing money. They said money available for permanent

(16:54):
housing is gonna shrink from three point three billion down
to one point one billion. The fact that we're wasting
one point one billion on permanent housing, now there might
be a fraction. If you pass a drug test for
six months, you're clean, you're working. All right, We're gonna
get you out of shelter. Here you go, because I

(17:15):
understand that for a lot of people that are out
there on the street. I'm sure some of them got
shall we say, criminal records. Shall we say maybe their
credit is not the best. Shall we say, maybe there's
a history of evictions. Well, that's gonna make it a
little I would say, impossible to compete for even a

(17:38):
low income housing on the open market, even if they
could afford rent. So you're going, well, there's repercussions for
your actions. Okay, Yeah, but we're literally gonna give a
hand up, as we call it, here's a handout, and
grab it, and we're gonna pull you up. They have
to have, I guess, some way to get restarted. So

(17:59):
I would agree with certain amount of housing that would
be available if yeah, you got the criminal record or
the bad credit, end, you've shown improven, that you're sober,
you've shown improven, that you're working, You followed up with
all your meetings with the people that you need to
to eventually get that key handed to you that you're
working for and paying for. And can we give it

(18:22):
a Section eight housing? Lower it down? Okay, I see,
I'm okay with my taxman money going for which would
be a small percentage that would pass the six month
of being sober and working, and if it grew and
it was larger and that was happening, I'd probably be like,
all right, good, let's keep this going. But this is
a failure of the way that it's happening, and it's

(18:44):
getting worse, and it's getting worse, and it's getting worse.
So I'm glad that the federal government is stepping in
and saying, now the permanent housing that's not going to
end somebody's homelessness for good. It's not how it's drugs, alcohol,
it's mental instability. La County they got the largest. They

(19:07):
said eighty percent of the money that La County receives
for the transient homeless situation goes toward keeping people in
permanent housing. I wonder what that overturn is like. I
wonder what the condition of the units are like. We'll
never figure this out, will we, until they make people
till you actually say you have to have some kind

(19:29):
of personal accountability in this mix here the individuals have
to again I say, we need a sheriff Joe or
Pyo baloney and pink pajamas until you're sober and then
we'll let you out and We're gonna keep an eye
on you.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
This is that Trevor Carry show on the Valley's Power Talk.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
It has been confirmed now Sacramento County ballot envelope polls
draw concerns. I had someone in Sacramento send me a
picture of their return ballot it envelope, the one that's
inside the regular envelope that it's mailed out. The when
you stick it in you know you sign you do
all that. There were two holes. One of the holes

(20:10):
right there are two little circle holes on the front.
And the person that called me said, hey, you got
your ballot. I said, I just got it out of
the mailbox, brought it to work, just showed it to
Agent Squire's here. We looked at it, he said, despresno County,
I said, I looked at it. Nope, no holes. Sacramento
County does. And you can actually see where you fill
in the yes or no. The If you fold it
put it in a certain way, it shows right through

(20:33):
the hole so you could see the vote. They can't
do anything, right, can they? Sacramento County vote by mail
envelope has holes that allow Prop fifty ballots inside to
be visible. It folded in place inside the envelope in
a particular way. Spokesperson for the Registrar of Voters a
Sacramento County said, election integrity is not at risk. The

(20:55):
holes serve a purpose. Oh what is that. There's a
couple of reasons. We got holes on the back of
our ballots and one on the front. The two envelope
pulls on the front and the one on the back
help election workers verify when the ballots have been removed,
and they also help visibly impaired voters. It gives them

(21:17):
something to feel so they know where to sign their name.
I'll say hog and wash to it all. Hogwash some
of them. And David Toga Pod just responded on text
on my phone. I was reading the story. He said,
let me see what he said here. Insanity it is,

(21:40):
isn't it? They said, there's a simple solution to the
Sethu issue. The back of the card's left blank. Fold it.
You got nothing on either side of this. Stick it
in your ballot envelope. No, you shouldn't leave it up
to the voters. I have to, Hey, learn to fold
your ballot properly so nobody can read what your vote is.
The states so messed up in so many ways. Elected

(22:02):
officials and Sacramento said they received a handful of emails
this week from people concerned about these holes. They're advising
people to make sure they put their ballot inside the
envelope in a way that the vote can be seen,
send out another postcard, or do their job, correct, Director
Ryan Nigel. Correct, don't tell us what hoops to jump

(22:22):
through so that nobody can see our private vote. Do
your job. Not that difficult, but it is for some,
all right, James, I'm afraid they're gonna kill me in
prison Comy this morning.

Speaker 7 (22:40):
Director James Comy in front of a judge moments ago
and a hearing that we did not think would last long,
and apparently that is the case. He has entered a
plea of not guilty to two charges federal level. Now,
our producers inside the courtroom say the former director, accused
of lying to Congress, obstructing aggression, can rational proceeding, ended

(23:02):
the polea moments ago in front of the judge Michael Knockmanoff,
appointed by Joe biden Waldutt.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
This is a good one. Is everybody listening?

Speaker 6 (23:10):
I guess the news out of this is that a
trial date has been set for January fifth. Now, of
course that is very preliminary and I personally do not
expect that to hold, but that is the current trial date.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Waldat, this is a good one. Is everybody listening.

Speaker 6 (23:26):
I'm just seeing some details and some color from our
producers who were inside the courtroom that the EDVA attorneys
entered the quarterman approximately ten minutes before the hour shook
hands with the Komy team. Lindsay Halligan was wearing a
black suit. Members of James Comy's family filed in a
minute or so later, followed by members of the press.

(23:47):
Our folks saw Pat Fitzgerald, James Comy's lawyer former prosecutor,
in an animated conversation with the prosecutors in the case.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah, it's kind of close to dinner times. I'm going
to warn you, create knowledge. You hear what his attorney
had to say, the honor, honor, Go ahead, President.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
This is a good one. Is everybody listening?

Speaker 6 (24:09):
And Fitzgerald addressed the court and said, it's the honor
of my life to represent mister Komy. And Pat Fitzgerald,
we should remember, is a long time Justice Farming prosecutor.
He was a special counsel. He actually prosecuted Dick Cheney's
former chief of staff for lying to investigate. He's got
a prison sentence. That man, Scooter Libby was pardoned. So
he's a guy that's been around the legal system for

(24:31):
decades and he is now representing James Comy.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Right, it's the start. Maybe maybe I don't know. I
don't get excited about anything because Hillary's still running around
drinking Chardenay revelations yesterday that special counsel Jack Smith, he's
a Democrat hacket man. This is such huge news, and
it goes to show me that I don't even feel

(24:58):
it as the huge news that it is. And there
was a time period where with a shock people, but
this is what shock and all does to society, all
the chaos that's been created to find out they were
tracking illegally tracking the phone calls of GOP senators. That guys,
that makes Watergate look like not. Then this is way

(25:24):
beyond that. This is right at the Constitution. This is
right at the separation of powers. This is right at
the first Amendment. I've said before, we need a full
investigation of all involved. But if nobody gets in trouble
for all this stuff, yeah, move to Sandpoint, Idaho, just

(25:45):
become a dishwasher read books. What's the point? They have
all this and they're releasing it a little out of time.
See that's the mistake. They should have waited a month
and come out with everything in a press conference and
laid it out. And we know they were tracking GOP.
Senator Lynda Gramma South Carolina, Marshall Blackburn and Tennessee, Ron

(26:08):
Johnson and Wisconsin, Josh Holly of Missouri, Cynthia Loomis of Wyoming,
Bill Haggerty of Tennessee, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville
of Alabama, Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania. It was called Arctic Frost.
The party in power spied on its political opposition. The
following charges are being announced. If it takes you an

(26:31):
hour to go through all the charges, this is all
going to get lost. One more piece in the conspiracy
to get Trump. Senate Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley
posted this document shows the Biden FBI spied on eight Republicans,
sending colleagues such an abusive power. Remember A spied on

(26:59):
Catholic church. They prosecuted pro lifers. They sent the FBI
for parents at school board meetings, and now they're tapping
the phones of their political I guess they see now
as enemies that that should be big news. I bet

(27:21):
you last night, I know the Media Research Council tracks
these kinds of things. What the mainstream swamp fake news
media does and does not cover, I would venture to
say probably they didn't get coverage on the big networks.
They're not covering it, but they're they are covering this

(27:44):
classy dame. She's not only a former Attorney general, senator,
vice president, she's now a published author. Kamala Harrisoner one
hundred and seven days, the campaign that went through money
faster than an NFL rookie. And why I call her

(28:05):
a classy dame. Well, they're saying she's intoxicated in many
of these events and kind of seems to be. But
his or profanity laced incident at her book stopped tour
at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. You might think
there are people that might not want to hear words
like this. You might think there are children in the audience.

(28:29):
Somebody might have brought the grandmother down to see Kamala.

Speaker 8 (28:35):
Because there's so much about this moment that it is
trying to make people feel like they've lost their minds,
when in fact.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
These.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Mother blinkers are crazy well classy, real classy. You've charmed us, Kamala,
You're charming as this sound like a sober person. I'm
going to quote her instead of playing her. I'm going
to read the transcript of what she said at Howard
University when I was your age, knowing that everything that

(29:10):
I'm being told in can Field tells us we can
be and do anything that we expect you to be
leaders locally, statewide, nationally, and internationally. A woman almost had
the nuclear codes. Boy, we dodged a bullet. But is
the closest selection and ever they tell me, right, Doug, right?

Speaker 8 (29:30):
Is that the other thing that is quite unprecedented and
it was the tightest, closest credit.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Let's go to dinner. They're yelling clothes. I act in
the twenty first free landslide, Lady landslide, Swing States Electoral
College popular vote. I guess that's what alcohol does, is

(30:13):
somebody that's all I did. I could think that it
could be. I'd say many times, many many times, you
could just tell she's on something. I don't know if
it's a tipsy. I don't know if it's a gummy,
a combination of a gummy and a little tipsy. Do
you remember she was when she was naming all her

(30:34):
favorite hip hop stars that had died like ten years
before when she was on I think it was a
breakfast club with Charlemagne, all laughing about marijuana, laugh like
it is no big deal. But yet she put people
in jail for it. Just not a good lady, is she.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
This is the Trevor carry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Did you know that Comy was Amy? James Comey was
a Communist? I didn't say that, Russe Limball did. How
many of you.

Speaker 9 (31:07):
Have thought, I mean, if you've thought about it, how
many of you have heard or thought that James call
Mey was a lifelong Republican.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
I have.

Speaker 9 (31:16):
I've always thought that James Comey was a lifelong Republican.
I've been told that James call Mey is a lifelong Republican.
Turns out not to be true. Are you wearing that
James Comee used to be a Communist. In a two
thousand and three interview with New York Magazine, James Comy

(31:36):
said before voting for Jamie Carter, Jimmy Carter, nineteen eighty.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
He'd been a communist.

Speaker 9 (31:42):
He admitted, I'd moved from communists to whatever I am.
Now now we know that John Brennan, Obama CIA director,
was a Communist or at least had voted for the
Communist Party.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
But I had never heard this about Komy.

Speaker 9 (32:00):
Now we find out that under Obama, the CIA director
and the FBI director both had histories of not just flirtation,
but serious immersion into communism. And like the KGB always said,
no one ever leaves the KGB, nobody ever leaves this

(32:23):
way of thinking.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Miss him looking at the video most important tool to
the takcos he had a big old printer behind him.
You know he's Oh, he's doing that. A research shows
waiting in line strengthened self control. This is now probably
about a week a half ago at frian Is, probably
a half mile backup on forty one. Didn't know what
it was. And you in the Tesla truck that went

(32:46):
around all the traffic that went down there and made
an illegal right turn to get back on, thinking, uh,
you're obvious, you're the only guy in there. You k
know who I'm talking to. But I had read this
about when you're waiting in line that used reflection in
your creativity being bored that it's actually okay, it can
be beneficial. Calm down, create a space for reflection. And

(33:10):
I was like, okay. I read this and I was like, yeah,
right now, I sweat the small stuff. But something hit
me when I was in that I go, oh, this line,
what is going? I went, all right, try it, and
I i'd say three out of five nights I listened
to the pastor John MacArthur on the way home, and
I never get to finish it because I pull up
in my driveway if I'm not listening to Girardi and

(33:31):
I go in. Sometimes I'll sit and listen for a while,
but it's normally the airs running. It's hot. I'm home.
But I said, I'm going to take this time, and
I had. I got to hear his whole sermon and
I didn't stress out. It took about twenty well, I
do know, because I'm that guy who was twenty two minutes.
I don't know what the backup was. It wasn't even
an accident. I don't know what it was. Why everybody
was congregating at that time. It's normally not like that,

(33:54):
but I implemented the stuck in science. Stuck in line,
and science said waiting's actually good for our brain. So
next time you're doing this, refrain, do what I did.
Try it, try it, just try it. So thank you,
senior lecturer at the University of East London. You put that,
You put that into my head and out here in Fresno.

(34:15):
I tried it. Now will it work again? I probably not. Well,
I'm not gonna be negative. Yeah, I'll say it'll work again.
I'm gonna try it the next time I'm waiting in
line
