Hi there.

Welcome.

And this is the second live stream of the John Cobalt show that we're doing from the home studio here.

And we did one some weeks ago, just kind of as a test.

And this is our second run through. And we're going to add a few things to it. Eventually, this will

become a regular feature. And eventually it's something you could subscribe to. And this will be a member

only exclusive. But for now, open to all, free to all. And if you're sitting there

waiting to go, well, thank you for showing up early. And thank you for joining me here. And

when I got up this morning and I was trying to decide what I wanted to do, I wanted to do some

things that just haven't gotten time for on the show.

And then about a half an hour ago, Ray Lopez, our producer, sent the Karen Bass video from

yesterday with Alex Michelson. He interviewed her. And this thing pissed me off so much. I can't wait until three o'clock. I wanted to play

it now and start talking about it because this is the crux of what this entire mayoral race is about.

This is the most important issue. It was four years ago. It was an

extremely important election and the majority of voters blew it badly. I don't think there's a single

person who could credibly say that Rick Caruso wouldn't have done a far better job than Karen Bass.

That's one of the worst electoral decisions that I have seen in my lifetime because it was so obvious up front.

I also want to point out here that periodically we're going to stop and take your comments and questions.
