“Newsom’s Redistricting Gamble: The Counties He Thinks He Can Snatch Without a Fight.”

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1

It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.

All right, that we had Governor Newsom in town and he said he's going to carve out more Democratic seats in California if Donald Trump does that in Texas.

Okay, well, whatever's going on in Texas is going on in Texas.

But does he seriously think that you're going to get counties to flip over to Democrats who voted for Donald Trump by seventy eighty percent without a fight.

Speaker 2

You don't.

Speaker 1

You don't think those guys are going to fight like hel against that.

I don't know what he's talking about.

What counties he's going to flip, because the Blue counties are the entire coast, all the coast counties with the exception of Del Norte, which I believe means the north, and all of these blue counties along the coast, they all voted for Kamala Harris, all of them except for the most northern is county.

And then Inland they all went for Trump except for three four five counties.

All of them voted heavily for Donald Trump.

I mean, even Riverside went for Donald Trump, so did San Bernardino current county went for Donald Trump.

Ino another one, Tailaire or Tillarry King's county, Fresno went for Donald Trump.

Madera, Mariposa, and Merced all these counties that I just mentioned.

San Joaquin is another one.

And then up in northern California way up north north east corner where you get Modoc, m O Doc that went for Donald Trump.

Speaker 2

I sev.

Speaker 1

You think the people in Modoc are just going to lay over and have their leadership.

It's all Republican locally mayor, county supervisors, city council, all of the you know, judges, everybody is a conservative up in those counties.

Speaker 2

And and.

Speaker 1

Governor knew some things.

He's just gonna walk into those counties and flip them blue.

He's gonna have a major fight on his hand.

I mean, hope, hope it doesn't turn to violence, but these people aren't going to tolerate that.

So I don't know what counties he's gonna flip without a fight, because there are going to be fights, whether it's just yelling or whether people will come out, you know, with rioting or anger or weapons.

But they're not going to sit back and tolerate that.

So I don't know what counties he's talking about.

I don't know how he's gonna re right the districts in California to favor five to ten more Democratic seats.

Speaker 2

I don't know how he's going to do that.

Speaker 1

The coast all voted for Kamala Harris, all the way from San Diego, Orange County, La County, Ventura, right up the coast, Santa Barbara, San Luis, Obispo, Monterey, and then up north's Santa Clara, San Francisco.

All of them are on the coast, Sonoma, California, Mendocino, all the wealthy counties, Humboldt, all the money on the coast, all voted for Democrats.

Speaker 2

You gotta wonder if the mass exodus that we've been talking about from California is going to play a part in this.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 2

I don't know.

Speaker 1

I don't know, but I mean, people just say that mass exodus is a false alarm, that there are more people moving into the California moving out.

Speaker 3

I don't know.

Speaker 2

I don't know, but I've heard that a lot of people are moving back already.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 1

I think people move out for two years, yeah, and then they're like, yeah, I gotta get back.

I can't take this anymore.

But there's no way that some of these especially in northern California, He's going to have a serious fight on his hand.

And I'm not talking just people writing letters.

You know, these people are all armed to the teeth.

Up in Lasson County, it went seventy six percent for Trump, and he thinks he's going to walk in and turn that blue.

That's how civil wars start.

And you will get that from Modoc, from Lassen, from is it Plumbus County up there, Sierra Sierra County is not going to tolerate that.

And so I don't know what he's talking about.

Maybe he's talking about a few that are closer to fifty to fifty by that will start a civil war in the state and thousands of people will be killed if that happens, it will it will start a civil war.

These people in the real red districts in this state are as red as the southern part of this country that Donald Trump and Laston County got seventy six percent of the vote.

Seventy six percent of the vote.

That's something you see in Alabama, or in Tennessee or South Carolina or Florida, and that's probably even more than you would see in those in those states.

And for him to say, oh, we're just going to flip those counties blue, it's not going to be easy and it may be impossible as well.

So we'll see, we'll see how that all shakes down.

But there's going to be a major fight on his on his I think he knows that too, and I think the people that announced that that's going to happen also know it, and maybe they want that for some strange reason.

Who knows, but there if you tried to do that up in those northern northeastern counties, you will have a civil war.

They will fight to the death before they make that change.

Speaker 2

I know these people, I.

Speaker 1

Know them, and they they are all armed to the teeth and they don't want anything to do with Newsome or that party.

Speaker 4

You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 1

We'll have the four o'clock hour up there where we had Steph Fuche on his mom and dad and two of the five people that save Steph Fusch's life.

Speaker 2

Every single year we support this huge money maker to try to help people who are suffering from mental ailments.

It's called the Brody Stevens Comedy Benefit, and Brody Stevens had some psychological challenges and every year they get together and raise money.

And this is unlike the same as every other Tommy God Love is with us, Tommy with us.

Speaker 3

I'm right with you man, tolong.

Speaker 1

With you, buddy.

This is a big lineup.

You got Bill Burr how'd you get Bill out to do this?

He doesn't do anything.

Speaker 5

I know Bill Burr man, he's probably shirt off his Broadway stay in New York.

So we got him and he was a huge Brody fan and friend of him.

Speaker 3

So anytime that we reach out.

Speaker 5

To Bill Burry, he's always willing to help out.

And yeah, he's going to be there at our show this August eighteenth at the Comedy Store.

Speaker 1

Okay, so it's August eighteenth comedy store and all the money goes to a to benefit.

I think it's called Comedy Gives Back.

Speaker 2

Is that correct?

Speaker 5

Yeah, Comedy Gives Back.

It's spearheaded by three women.

Did you know who Bob or Budd Friedman was sure?

Speaker 2

Yeah, the U was the owner of the Improv.

Speaker 5

And the Improv Yes, well his his daughter created the Comedy Gives Back because she knows the life of a stand up comedian.

And with two other people women, they started Comedy Gives Back and they are the UH safety net for.

Speaker 3

The comedy community.

Speaker 5

What they believe is that UH comedians should only fill alone on stage, but once they're off stage, it's unacceptable for them to fill alone.

Speaker 3

And they want to help them out with.

Speaker 5

Any kind of with services, mental health brants, anything with their bills and stuff like that.

So it's an amazing UH nonprofit that we're associated with, and we want to help comedians because they're they're definitely need our help and we want to make sure that nobody uh unfortunately takes their lives.

You know what mental health is very uh you know, a big thing and UH and stand up comedians and we want to we want to help them out, you know, I mean, because they dedicate their whole lives to making people laugh, and we want to help them out.

Speaker 1

And I'm sure that that stand with comedians.

You know, if not ninety percent of them, maybe ninety five percent of them have all gone through challenges because you don't have, you know, twenty minutes of great jokes on stage without going through a tremendous amount of pain earlier in your life.

Speaker 5

Yeah, I mean a lot of these people, you know, you know the household.

Speaker 3

Names, the Jay Lenos, the.

Speaker 5

Jim Carrey's and all that, but there's so many comedians that are dedicated lives that are out there that are struggling a lot of them just go from gig to gig and they don't have that support system that the household names have.

And that's when comedy gives back.

And they know exactly how a standing up comedian their life is, and we want to help them out.

Speaker 3

We don't want them to fill alone.

Speaker 5

And what comedy gives back.

And with the comedy story, the world famous comedy store I called the Mecca, you know what I mean, if you think of any count any stand up comedy club, it's the Comedy Store.

And we're just so grateful to have an annual event for Brodie Stevens to bring uh to celebrate his life and also raise money for stand up comedians and help them out.

Speaker 2

Yeah, we have an equipment here to do that.

Yeah, can I use it?

I'd like to look up some some people.

Speaker 1

So I got a text today from a friend I've known since seventh grade.

Speaker 6

Who's this friend?

Speaker 1

I'm not going to tell you, all right, but it says here, there's a picture of me you On the text, it's a picture of me, you, Krozier and Steph Fuche.

And under the text it says, Tim, is that the girl who's been on your show for years?

Speaker 1

Well let's look at steph Oo.

So it has to be rude, U.

It's uh, it's me you Stephoo seven or eight months ago and krozier.

But belly, I will say this, you do look better because the guy on your left it looks like his arm is paralyzed.

Speaker 6

That would be you.

Speaker 2

That's me.

Yeah, I don't know why.

Speaker 7

It looks like a mannequin in that shape like that.

So you think that because you didn't look your best.

Speaker 6

I look better.

Speaker 1

I don't know, but it looks like it looks like you know, I get I get that arm when I work out too much, when I have a heavy lift.

Speaker 2

I'm sorry, what if I work out.

Speaker 1

To lift at Costco, No, at the gym, But if I who Jim down the street, Me and Jim go to TVG.

Speaker 6

Exactly there you go, Yeah, that's the heavy lift.

Speaker 1

When's the last time you think I worked out in the gym how many?

Speaker 2

How many months or years?

I'm going to say never, never?

Never?

Okay, that's wrong.

Speaker 6

You've worked out in a gym?

Speaker 2

Yes, really, yes, And I can't remember.

Speaker 6

You told the story about how you signed up for a gym.

Speaker 1

I sign up for a gym with my wife.

It was twenty four hour Fitness on Magnolia in Huntington Beach.

I signed up for me and her, and six months later I went back to cancel the membership without ever going once, and I canceled it.

Speaker 2

And I and the guy said, this has got to be a record.

I said, what do you mean.

Speaker 1

He goes, I've never had a guy sign up six months later cancel without ever.

He goes, we don't have you ever showing up here.

We didn't, we didn't scan your card once.

I said, yeah, I know I'm canceling.

And he said I think, and he goes, I think that's a record, and I said no, no, my wife has the record.

She never even showed up to cancel or to sign up foot in the building.

She never signed up, never worked out, never canceled.

Speaker 6

So then, when was it last time you worked out in a gym?

Speaker 1

I think it was Bally's in Tarzana, Ally's in Encino.

Speaker 2

I think it was nineteen eighty, seventy nine or eighty.

Speaker 6

And what was your workout when you went?

Did you do the circuit?

Speaker 3

What you do?

Speaker 6

Took an aerobics class?

Speaker 1

Well, okay, this would happen.

I was in a machine.

It was Nautilus back then, and you know, all these machines were new.

So I get in and I'm pushing, pulling one lever and pushing another, and I'm trying to lay down flat so I can push the way bench press.

I couldn't figure out what it was.

And then a construction guy comes back.

He goes, hey, get out of the scaffolding.

Now that's that's a Brian Reagan show.

Speaker 6

I believe it to be a true story.

Speaker 2

I think it's a true Brian Reagan story.

Speaker 6

Speaker 7

Okay, throwing ding dong at check out for a little extra something something, Okay, excellent.

Speaker 2

We'll do that.

Speaker 4

You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Maya from KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 1

If you're tuning in last week at this time, we were all wondering where the hell is Steph Fusch.

He didn't show up to work, he didn't text, we tried to.

Speaker 2

Call him, nothing.

Speaker 1

He was in the hospital after a radical crash.

And there's two of the five people that saved his life, and his parents and his stepfather came in today at the four o'clock hours, So please go and download that hour.

Speaker 2

We'd appreciate it.

Halloween is here.

I see it in the stores.

Speaker 1

I see Halloween decorations everywhere, and it makes my wife a little crazy.

Speaker 2

I like it.

Speaker 1

I decorate early for Halloween.

I start decorating for Halloween September first.

My wife hates it because we're two months out, but I start decorating September first, and I started doing that during COVID because I take my you know, take the kid's mind off it.

The kids, you know, live around the street, and just to do something a little more festive, take people's mind off how crazy it was.

Speaker 2

And I continued the tradition.

Speaker 1

So September first, which is two and a half weeks away, I'll be put on folloween decorations.

So this doesn't bother me at all, not at all.

Speaker 2

I love it.

Speaker 8

Sholbers are seeing scary sites with spooky decorations popping up during the hottest month of the year, and it's being referred to as summer Ween.

The National Retail Federation says nearly fifty percent of people start purchasing Halloween items well before October.

Speaker 2

That's right.

Speaker 8

So here to discuss what's causing retailers to go all in on the trend is retail analysts and financial expert Heatha Herstog.

Heatha, thanks so much for joining us.

Speaker 3

We appreciate it.

Speaker 8

So we're still almost a month out from Labor Day, and yet the shelves are filling up with candy cobwebs, and witches.

Speaker 3

What's happening here?

Speaker 2

Yeah, what's going on?

Heathaw was it Heatha Hawsworth?

Is that her name?

Speaker 6

A couple of things are happening.

So, as we know, people have this nostalgia.

Speaker 9

Aspect around halloweens, So having something like summer Ween gets people thinking about nostalgia, gets people thinking about this exciting experience that's happening in October.

Speaker 6

And that's what we call the experience.

Speaker 2

To me, as we want to.

Speaker 1

Be better as hollowmerr like hollow and then the last syllable of summer hollowmerr like summer ween sounds awful, awful.

It sounds like a bisexual swingers party.

Speaker 2

Hey, you want to got a summer Ween?

Nah?

Nah, I'm not in that group.

Speaker 9

As we've seen, so many tent pole events have been built around this experience economy, and in this case it's summer Ween.

Speaker 2

Summer Ween.

They got to change the name of that, right.

Speaker 9

But we're also from an operation standpoint, a retail operation standpoint.

Retailers, as we've seen supply chain shocks happening, retailers have to get ready months sometimes you know, nine months before the actual event happens so that they can ensure that the product is in stock during October.

So it feels like we are seeing these things earlier and earlier.

We certainly are, but it's really a retailer's tactic to make sure that something is.

Speaker 6

In the.

Speaker 2

Loser.

We're losinger in the.

Speaker 8

Before and so just how much our store is able to benefit from bringing out these items.

Speaker 2

You want to know a secret that people do.

Speaker 1

They buy Christmas decorations from from a very particular store, a maybe you should name the store hobby Lobby.

They buy crap for Christmas from hobby Lobby a month before Christmas, decorations for the house, interior, exterior.

And because hobby Lobby takes everything back, they return it all after Christmas, so they have to store it and they can get new stuff next year.

Eighty five percent of the Christmas decorations that are purchased at Hobby Lobby are then returned after Christmas.

Isn't that really the exact opposite of the Christmas spirit?

Ladies and gentlemen who are listening right now.

Isn't that somewhat disgusting?

I think it is all right.

Speaker 2

Download the first hour of the show.

Speaker 1

Steph Fusha's whole family is here and I'm off to the Sagebrush Cantena for a little karaoke at eight o'clock, so I'll see you over there.
