This is John Batchelor, conversation with my long time good colleague Bill Whelan, the Hoover Institution, about

Kamla Harris and California politics, particularly some version of it called San Francisco Democrats.

San Francisco Democrats is the kitchen where Camilla Harris created her reputation.

District Attorney in San Francisco, Attorney General of the State,

Senator of the State.

However, now she lives in Los Angeles, I learned from Bill, and she lives in Brentwood, Los Angeles.

What does that mean?

It means the issue of borders, the issue of crime, are very important to understand Kamala Harris's achievements.

But where you live in Brentwood is very high end,

as Bill observes very, very high end.

Have you ever heard of an $18 smoothie? Here's Bill Whelan to introduce

us to Brentwood, Los Angeles, California, home of the Vice President of the United States, now a candidate for the presidency.

More of this later.

Yeah, I don't want to suggest that immigration is not an issue in California, John, but remember we're looking at the 30th anniversary of Proposition 187 and really kind of the beginning to salvo in this long conversation the countries have over this topic. Prop 187 would have cut off

public services for illegal immigrants education, health care, and also

incarceration costs. I think in California in terms of Harris's vulnerability John it's the crime issue number one

inflation secondly and then thirdly just this issue of wokism because you referred to her as a

San Francisco Democrat well yes in terms of her political lineage John but she has

since moved to Los Angeles to live with her husband Doug Emoff they live in a very nice

corner of Los Angeles called Brett Woods where a lot of celebrities congregate too, but it's

part of this kind of large shishi West Coast West Los Angeles lifestyle, John, where you go to

an upscale grocery stores like Aroon, where you pay $18 for smoothies and your kids go to very nice private schools and in short you're kind of had a touch with middle class America and so I do wonder if the Trump campaign in addition to chasing her down on crime.
