You're listening to the John Cobalt podcast on the I-Hart Radio app.

Welcome.

We're on every day from 1 until 4 o'clock.

After 4 o'clock, John Cobalt show On Demand, the podcast on the I-Hart app.

Hour number one, a lot about Nick nick reiner not being indicted yet and royal oaks uh came on the legal analyst to talk about why that is and what the par fair

Karen Bass, going on podcasts, and accidentally telling some truth because she didn't realize

candidly in telling the truth.

And she doesn't do that in public.

So anyway, you can hear all that in the two o'clock hour. Now we got

Katie Grimeson, Katie, California globe.com. And she writes so much about all the dysfunction and just

all the criminality and theft going on in Sacramento government. And she's got a new piece out,

a couple of things this week, on the $18 billion deficit

and how California has a number of financially high-risk state agencies, according to the legislative

state auditor.

Let's get to, let's get to Katie. How are you, Katie?
