Fresno State Friday One-Hour Special

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
California GOP chair woman Karen Rankin, Miss Ryan Kind, welcome
to the show. Thank you for being.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Here, Thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
And I had to make sure I went on to
hear how the big TV people say your name correctly?
I did say it correctly, didn't I?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yes, you did?

Speaker 1 (00:18):
All right? Karin, give us your LinkedIn your elevator ride resume.
You took over for Patterson in January, So the California
GOP chair, How did it all start? Your love for politics?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
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

(00:53):
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, you know,
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

(01:16):
minded people, more everyday people from just every walk of life.
Just really it's important to you know, 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 (01:39):
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 and never even run a
PTA snack bar. Right, So it's good. And you mentioned

(02:02):
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 (02:16):
It's 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 (02:26):
What was your first political adventure into.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
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

(02:55):
at this, you know, from then on.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Neck of the Woods in California, where were you.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
In sam Michaeo County. I was in Mental Park, Redwood City.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Okay, gotcha? And they saw that and you got involved
with that.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
We'll see.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
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 (03:22):
Well there's another one opened, that's right.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Well I've had five clothes in a row, but maybe
that six one will open. Hey, now, when you became
the new California GOP 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? Well, I didn't.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
I think that.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
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. Well, I
think that.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
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 a really great relationship, and

(04:15):
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 (04:31):
Lay out the job description, what is it, what's your responsibilities?

Speaker 3 (04:36):
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 very late at night.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
I was going to say, that's ten full time jobs
here in California. It is. We got our know on safety. Tomorrow,
we're asking people to come out to the Press sports
grill on 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

(05:14):
your your prop fifty take.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
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 in 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

(05:40):
this is 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

(06:04):
how 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

(06:26):
that you could vote for that said, 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

(06:47):
twenty five and it's back on the 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 (07:09):
No no, no, I saw on YouTube ad last night
Padia knew from their saving democracy from President Trump. Right
when this first came out, When it first came out,
I am attack go ahead.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I was going to say, the real attack on democracy
is the Democratic Party. So the real attack is 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 (07:47):
Yes, and as we defeat fifty, then we got a
spotlight those citizens on that public commission with that cherry mandering. Already,
they've already had the upper hand in this state. It's
got to 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

(08:10):
fifty 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
rank It. 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 (08:32):
Yes, we did, we did, and we have more coming
in today that we're going to announce tomorrow. So we've
got another'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 (08:50):
I guess that's part of your job fundraising obviously, right, Yes, Yes,
that's a tough that's a tough gig gas anybody for money.
With those million that are coming in, how does the
state gop like, how do they assist local gop with
the No On fifty?

Speaker 2 (09:08):
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 do fund our phone banking. We're doing
door knocking every single weekend. We're making phone calls to voters.

(09:28):
And then with all with the moneies that's then raised
to fight Prop fifty, we're 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

(09:48):
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

(10:10):
voters and a lot of Republicans. We do not want
them sitting home.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
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 (10:26):
So we get our updates from the ROVs, the Secretary
of State, so we'll know that you voted and you
won't get any more texts.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Okay, So get those ballots in so they don't have
to waste. Because I was the 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
I guess right, I need to get it in speak. Okay,

(10:56):
the money, the milltady.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Know how you're going to vote? Please just vote Earl.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Let us let us spend our resources connecting with people
who are maybe undecided.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Right, I want to understand the resources. The millions coming in,
does that does that literally filter out or is it
decided in Sacramento.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
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 (11:26):
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. Uh, what would you

(11:49):
say to Democrat listeners listening right now, I.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Would say that, you know, there are research shows and
pulling shows that the majority of Californians thing fact, California
is going in the wrong direction and Republicans are not
responsible for that. There's a super majority in Sacramento and
it's Democrats. So if you think that the state is
going in the wrong direction, the only party to blame

(12:14):
is 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 (12:29):
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.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Going the wrong way.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
That's what we need to yell at the state of California.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Right, Yes we do, Yes, we do well.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
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's fifty that's right.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Vote no pop fifty, make it too big to rid.
Vote early.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Thank you for your time, all right, thank you, you bet.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
This is the Trevor Cherry Show on the Valley's Power.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Talk from Fort Collins as the Dogs go in to
take on the Colorado rams Man. They love their football
back there. I lived right there, right next to Fort Collins, Greeley, Colorado.
That's where I got my news talk start. Colorado does
love their football. But boy, let's get in there and
take it to him. See Ky and Kenny be kicking
it off from Table Mountain at four o'clock, and then
the pregame with coach Paul and Cam at five, and

(13:32):
then the kickoff at six right here on Power Talk,
Fox Sports thirteen forty all our iHeart affiliates and the
iHeart Radio app as well. Talking about football, NFL, they're
gonna have bad Bunny at the Super Bowl halftime show.
There are some that's saying it's a kind of a
smart marketing idea. Now he's not really popular, I would
think with middle aged told your white dudes, which is

(13:55):
the NFL demographic at the moment. But hey, Hispanics fastest
growing deal in America. They make up about twenty percent
nineteen point five percent of the US population. Census Bureau
projects they're gonna be showing a lot of growth because,
like a lot of Americans, they're having a lot of
kids currently. Right, the average NFL viewer is likely to

(14:16):
be a dude twenty five to forty four age group.
NFL has forty seven percent of their audience over fifty
five and relatively affluent. They say it's disproportionately white, based
well on the US population. Hispanics make up about twenty
percent and about fourteen percent of the NFL fan base.
So's they're saying there's room for growth there. But do

(14:39):
they risk tuning out their current audience to lay seed
for a future growth? I guess that's their reasoning to
have bad Bunny dressed in women's clothes and insultant Trump
and Trump supporters and United States immigration law. I guess
the NFL sees a marketing opportunity. He's sexually fluid, his

(15:02):
toneless voice chanting. The talent not my kind of music,
but he is usually popular. Here's what the ladies of
the view thought he's going to be doing at the
super Bowl. Listen to all the fear they're doing.

Speaker 6 (15:13):
Well, okay, let's start. Let me tell you about this.
The Insurrection Act allows president to nationally deploy the US
military or federalized National Guard troops to quell what the
president deems an insurrection against the US or combat a
crisis that is beyond the scope of civilian law enforcement.

(15:35):
The Actor is not impose martial law, and it permits
the military to assist civilian authorities but not take their place.
Martial law involves temporary military authority over civilian law enforcement.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Well, of course he did. President Trump reacted to the
selection of Bad Bunny with never heard of it. There's
this Bad Bunny guy. I don't know who he is.
I don't know what they're doing it. It's like crazy,
it's absolutely ridiculous. Well, he's one of the world's most
stream musicians in the last few years. Get a little
looking into it. Back in twenty twenty two, there was

(16:12):
a court filing published by a Puerto Rican media outlet
there talking about a two million dollar investment to launch
his label, and they're alleging a former Venezuelan vice minister
under Hugo Savez gave me the funding back in twenty
fourteen and has a fifty one percent ownership stake in
his company through a Florida based business. Now that's court filings.

(16:35):
That's not hearsay or rumor. What's the rumors, ladies.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
Anyway, she's threatening to go to the super Bowl when
bad money is there and round up all these people
that are illegal immigrants. Do you think that she would
go if it was Garth Brooks or eminem or Taylor
Swift or any of the white men.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
Understand what you're saying. Because she's going to go to
the super Bowl and round up.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
How's she going to know who's who?

Speaker 5 (17:04):
Because the Supreme Court has given permission to question anyone
who has a Spanish accent, who has a dark skin.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
Yeah, so here's why.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
Here's the thing. Everybody, get a little cobbo butter set
in the sun.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
That's the first thing.

Speaker 6 (17:21):
And then and this is the only time you can
probably ever do this, give yourself a Latin accident, you
know what that ada, and see if she can tell
who's who?

Speaker 1 (17:35):
All right? All the super Bowl controversy that's months away.
Our election for the for the governor seat here in
California is well about a year away. Katie Porter just
destroying herself this week. I mean, you want to talk
about an implosion that was worth the worst than Ducaccus
in a tank, that was worse than Howard Dean with

(17:56):
his yeah scream acting all crazy on stage. She just
couldn't handle a simple question. Well, I had somebody running
for governor, Steve Hilton, Republican. Many of you might know
him from Fox News. He had a TV show there
for a while. He's the UK guy who became a
US citizen about five years ago, and he wants to
be the governor. And I had a simple question for him,

(18:18):
What's life. This was a couple of weeks ago. Got
a little bit of traction on this, a little bit
of controversy on this, but he seemed to appreciate the
questioning and I thought we had a good sit down
the question of life. I'm going to recap let you
hear a little bit about what candidate for governor on
the Republican ticket Steve Hilton had to say president State
football kicking off at four, This.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
Is the Trevor Terry Show on the Valley. He's powered talk.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
A few weeks ago, I sat down with the Republican
gooblatorial candidate, Steve Hilton, talked to him many times on
the phone. First time I got to meet him and
we were talking about Charlie Kirk and he'd met.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Him a few times.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Said they were friendly with each other and we were
sad about it all. But we talked about life, and
I brought up his quotes here that brings me talking
about life in Charlie's life to something important to me.
I'm pro life, always have been. I do have a
few quotes, and that's why I'm glad you're sitting across
from me. One you said the rest of us fifty
seven percent want legal abortion with some restrictions. Republicans are

(19:16):
ahead of Democrats on every issue except one abortion you mentioned.
Governor Yankin made it the focus predictable results. When will
the GOP wake up campaign on your strengths not weakness?
I'll just ask you, what what's your definition of life?

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Look?

Speaker 7 (19:31):
I think that my well, my first point is that
we got to win elections and we got to be
practical people. So my entire campaign is about what we
can actually do. But what's your definition of life? I
want to get to tell you. I think I know
you right now, and less voters that are anyone it's
very clear that life begins at conception. I don't think
there's any real dispute about that. I mean, I know

(19:53):
some people might challenge that, but.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
So you believe in God and a soul and all
of all of that's involved with that.

Speaker 7 (19:58):
I don't think I do. But I don't that you
need to. I think it's a matter of fact. You
can just I mean, that's when life begins.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Well, you hear people say in six week, fifteen weeks, ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
I mean, I've got to be honest. That's ridiculous, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
But do you agree with your comment that did you
post that? That's a political Yeah? I you do want
legal abortion with some restrictions. So if life is that conception,
you want legal abortions with what are those restrictions?

Speaker 7 (20:25):
And I guess, well, I'm looking at what's what I
can affect in California. So here's what I think about
this whole issue. That it should always have been decided
not by the judges as it was before, but by
the people. And that's what President Trump enabled. That's what happened.
And so in different states that's being taken forward in

(20:46):
different ways.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Here in California, they had a referendum.

Speaker 7 (20:50):
It's now in the state constitution, so nobody can do
anything about that unless you overturn the constitutional rule that's there.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
So your definition of life is that conception once you're pregnant.
So are you saying personally you don't think it's right
to take a to have an abortion, or as governor you.

Speaker 7 (21:11):
Well, there's nothing. That's what I would do as governor.
I want to be very clear about what I can do,
what I will do. I want to move us in
California within using the power that I would have as governor.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
I want to.

Speaker 7 (21:24):
Move us towards life. What does that actually mean in practice?
I can't change the constitution with a stroke of my pen.
Neither could any candidate who sits it's impossible, but.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
It acts a movement.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
It's a major statement.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Hang on.

Speaker 7 (21:37):
What I want to do is move us towards life.
So what I can practically do about that is a
number of things, like real things. First of all, to
make this a state where people want to have children,
where they want to have more beautiful babies, where they
don't think I can't have children if I get pregnant.
I got to terminate the pregnancy because I can't afford

(21:58):
to raise a child here. I don't want it does well.
That's how people are thinking today in California. That's the
practical reality of what's going on. Because everything's so expensive,
the idea of owning a home to raise your family
is out of reach for so many people. We can
change that so we once again become a state where
people want to have more.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Children and raise them here. That's number one. Hang on
a second, hold on when I feel confused. I always
feel somebody's really good at what they're saying, and I'm
confused by it. As governor, would do would you be
a pro life governor?

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yes or no?

Speaker 1 (22:33):
That's Republican goubernatorial candidate for governor here in California. Steve
Hilton my interview a few weeks ago. Uh, he agreed
that life begins at conception. I was glad to hear that.
It was kind of strange to debate with somebody. We
agreed when it all.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Begins, Yes, but what does that mean?

Speaker 1 (22:51):
It means standing up and saying it's like, I agree
with you that if it's a conception, I don't want
to God's hold on for a moment. God decides when
he's going to send a soul that so we agree
that it's at the moment of conception. So if we're
sending that soul back, what are we doing?

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (23:07):
But what can I do as governor? I'm not a pastor,
rum I'm running as a candidate for governor.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Well, if you can't determine what life is, since you
have authority if life lives or dies, if you can't
define it, what would you like me to say? That's practical,
It's not much I want. You're talking to the to
the people.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
The question I don't understand.

Speaker 7 (23:26):
Actually, I truly don't understand the part of this that
you don't understand, which is that as governor, what can
I do to move us towards life? I can't undo
what's in the constitution As governor.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Newsom has us as an abortion sanctuary state.

Speaker 7 (23:43):
That's a good example what I would Yes, And I
was just going through the list and you interrupted me.
So if you let me finish the list, I can
tell you the specific things which and that would have
been one of them, that I can do to move
us towards life in a practical way. That's actually a
number one. Make it a state where people want to

(24:03):
have children. I've talked about that. Number Two, if prevent
unwanted pregnancy, and we can do a lot more there, right,
you can do a lot more in terms of bringing
in the faith community.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
Churches.

Speaker 7 (24:14):
I've had I'm having active conversations with pastors and churches
about how we can work together to stop unwanted pregnancy
as far as we can. That is something you can
do that's practical, that's real within the constitution. Number Three,
you can remove the barriers that are there right now
to alternatives, for example, adoption. Right now, we make it

(24:36):
ridiculously complicated, way too complicated for people to use that option.
And so I would want to have adoption as something
that you would proactively advocate for and use. And then,
of course that point that you just raised, which is,
we don't want to be promoting it. We don't want
to be positively promoting something. And that's so, of course

(24:58):
all of that stuff that Newsom is doing would end.
So these are always that you can actually do things
in the real world that move us towards life. If
I stood here and said yes, I'm going to be
pro life and end abortion in California, that would be
a lie because it's not deliverable by the governor because

(25:18):
it's in the Constitution, and all throughout my campaign, I
never want to say anything or promise anything that can't
be delivered.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
You know, I've had many interviews as to Steve Hilton
running for a governor here in California as a Republican,
where they've been debates and confrontational. But I really I
had no angst in me on this. But I just
couldn't realize why he kept saying it will never work
in California. It will never work. They used to say
that about Roe v. Wade as well, that would I

(25:48):
heard Republicans tell me that to my face, that that
would never change, and it did. So I have you
saying you're a pro life, he'd be a pro life governor.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
No, I'd move us towards life.

Speaker 7 (25:57):
I don't want to accept them all right there, putting
with I don't want legal abortion with some restrictions.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
That's what you wrote on Twitter X, So we have
I don't know. I'm trying to figure out which what
kind of governor you would need. That's it. That's why
I'm asking you this. Well, like and I made the
mistake in the past and assuming Republicans are a certain way.
So I said, all these next elections, I'm going to
ask these hard questions that you know. People softball it away.
But I think I'm getting to know you, and the

(26:25):
voters are getting to know.

Speaker 6 (26:26):
What.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
I think it's interesting is that you want me to
It's not.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Me wanting you to do anything. I'm asking you.

Speaker 7 (26:32):
Yes, and I've given you what I would do because
I'm a practical person. So it's not about are you
this label or that label? It's about what would you do?
What could you do, and what would you do? And
so that question of are you pro life or pro
choice actually doesn't relate. It's not relevant to what you
could do as governor because.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
It is in the circles that I run, and maybe
we are in different.

Speaker 7 (26:56):
Circles, but there's no point someone sitting here and saying
that they can abound abortion in California.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
This is an interview I had with Republican goubnal Tourt
candidate Cheeve Hilton a few weeks ago here, and I've
never really had anybody. He was asking me a lot
of questions. I kind of enjoyed it.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
Do you think that's the set?

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Sig I would okay, okay, since you're asking me all
the questions in this interview here a lot of them,
and I'm glad I'll answer. I'll answer you back. I'll
answer you back. I'll never do it because too many
skeletons in my closet. But if I were running for governor,
I would be Hi, I'm Trevor. I'm running for governor,
and I want to end aborson in the state because
I'm sorry. I think it's the extinguishing of a soul

(27:33):
that God sends down because I believe life happens at creation.
We agree with that. Yeah, that's what I would say,
Thank you for asking, And how would you make that happen?

Speaker 3 (27:41):
As government?

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Maybe I'd lose, but I would at the end of
at the end of time, when I'm reviewed, I stood
up and said, God, I didn't send a soul back,
will send what sixty million souls? I've done colorings with
color pencils, and if somebody runs it, I get upset.
I created that. Imagine we're breaking his art. Steve. That's
that's how I feel. That's how I feel, and how I.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Feel is I don't want to lose. I want to win.

Speaker 7 (28:08):
So I can actually make life better for millions of
Californias who being crushed by this regime.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
And I don't want to lose.

Speaker 7 (28:15):
I don't want to lose and fight a valiant fight
and say things that people want to hear, but lose.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
I think that is not how I'm approaching it.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
And Steve Hilton, he kept asking me questions. Seriously, listen here,
let's go.

Speaker 7 (28:26):
But I'd like to ask you seriously because I feel right, no, exactly,
And it feels to me that you're resisting that approach
because you want to express the value that so you
hold so deeply to the exclusion of every other consideration.
That feels to me like where you are on this?

(28:48):
Is that a fair assessment?

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Yeah, I'm not great on life and death. That's how
I look at it.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
I understand.

Speaker 7 (28:53):
But the so the question of how you could do
anything about it.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Doesn't concern you, how I or the guess government as governor.
You're saying you can't do anything about it.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
How can you not?

Speaker 1 (29:05):
What the influence that you have, How you could lead
society in a movement. You could go to rallies, you
could hold let's end abortion rallies, you could educate people
on what actually But if you happens, you could defund it.
You could sign get bills going and Sacramento. I know
it comes to the legislature and all of that, but
you could be the leader of that. If I believed
it was at creation, I would have to do that.

Speaker 7 (29:27):
Yeah, but if you look at the if you look
at the actual numbers in California in terms of what
you can do for.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Real, right number you hadn't tried it yet. If you
look at the number already saying that it couldn't work.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Well, it's a much heavier.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Lift at Steve Hilton, Republican goubern Ontario candidate for a
governor here in California, we interviewed for weeks ago, and
I guess everybody else kind of answered this in their head.
I let it just sit out there. I asked him,
I go, who are you ultimately responsible to?

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Who are you?

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Who are you ultimately responsible to?

Speaker 7 (30:00):
If I'm elected, I'm responsible to the citizens of California
to do a good job for them.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
All right, I I Well, we're all ultimately responsible to God.
So that was a good sit down with Steve Hilton. Well,
he agreed to come back on. He even gave me
a fellowship a Christian businessman hug. You know the handshake
with the handshake between the body and the pat pat
with the arm on the back. He he gave me
one of those. So we ended up good. Hey, we
got a football game coming up seeking Kenny be kicking

(30:26):
off at four.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
Go dog. This is the Trevor Cherry Show. Condom Valley's power.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Talking up November fourth, trying to Jerry Mander, trying to
get more Republicans kicked out of Congress. That's what Newsom's
up to, trying to show America that he's the fighter.
That's when they turned it all about Trump in Texas.
It was a Joe Biden administration, the DOJ that told
Texas they had to redistrict their maps. K Newsom just

(30:54):
jumped in. But again, thanks to all the support out there.
You got a few things you can do this weekend.
I'll give you one here locally, the traveling replica version
of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in DC making its way
to Clovis, so a three quarter scale wall. It's three
hundred and seventy five feet long, seven and a half
feet high. It's got the name of those who lost
their lives fighting for America in the Vietnam War. It's

(31:17):
gonna be on display twenty four hours a day until
Sunday at two pm the David McDonald Park that's on
Temperance just south of the Clovis Community Medical Center there.
So please bring the kids by explain it all to them,
so that'd be something good.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
If you want to grab a quick flight from from
Presno to Portland, it's not a far drive. You can
bike Portland. Yeah, they're doing it, But what's so weird
about bike riding Partland. Don't they do that all the time. No,
it's a naked bike ride to protest President Trump's invasion,
as they say. It's set for Sunday. Yeah, the illegal

(31:52):
invasion of the city. It's called the Emergency World Naked
Bike Ride. Ride naked to protest the militarization of our city.
I don't if they lay a towel down on the
seat or something. What's wrong with people? They said it's
a peaceful former protest and that joy is a former protest,

(32:14):
So I guess riding around with your dangling unmentionables on
the on the bike seat around the city of Portland,
where Grandma mom, maybe some people getting out of church.
Do they still have churches in downtown Portland yet little kids? Yeah,
that's what they want to see. Your joy dangling, they said,
being together with mutual respect and kindness. It's a former protest.

(32:36):
The vulnerability of bodies cannot be more explicit than seeing
our neighbors kidnapped off our streets, while at the same time,
those who protest that ice facility are dealing with being brutalized.
Here's how USA Today covered it. Can I see if
naked people on bikes changed Trump's mind on Portland, Oregon? Well, you,

(32:59):
you big o brain people there at the USA Today,
I'm sure President Trump's going to convene his cabinet over
this and go, guys, listen Christinoan. We got we gotta
revamp this, We got to change this. It's changed our minds.
I saw naked people on bikes in Portland, and of
course the governor, Governor Tina Cootech looks like if Rachel

(33:23):
Maudow Stephen Colbert had a kid and that grew up
to be governor of Oregon. Here's what a Kotech had
to say. K Tech, by the way put cotechs in
the boys room at schools. She said, there's no insurrection,
there's no threat to our national security, there's no need
for military troops in our major city. Well, the supremacy

(33:43):
clause in the Constitution says that, well, it's the law
the land. Federal is supremacy clause. Federal authority takes president
and require state judges to uphold federal law. When the
two conflict, and they are conflicting, send up a prayer, pray.
The Lord sends an early fall chill, complete with I

(34:06):
don't know, some cold rain, A little bit cold rain
might be good in Portland about eleven am Portland is
Are they crazier than California? California's banning a cosmetic band
coming in twenty twenty seven, So Jurgen's face cream, Summer's
Eve wash, Swavasito hair tonic, even formula eyeliners are too

(34:28):
dangerous to sell in California because they contain trace amounts
of boric acid. Boric acid something the FDA requires to
prevent bacteria. Nobody's getting sick from it. FDA regulates it.
But California knows better, don't we completely knows better. Well,
let's hope that we get a continuation of the wind
streak with Fresno State. They're going in to take on Colorado.

(34:52):
Colorado rams from Fort Collins. We're gonna have c K
and Kenny. They're gonna be on the call from Table
Mountain Casino and and we'll have the pregame with Paul
Leffler coach and Cam at five o'clock and then kickoff
coming from Colorado. It's a only game this year that
a game is on Friday.
