Wasco

She ran 17:21.2. She's at Montevista Christian, uh, in CCS.

Uh, Natalie Gregory from Wasco.

Um, she's a freshman.

I believe last year she was, like, um, a 3K champion at the end of the year as an eighth-grader.

Uh, she's undefeated so far this year, so she's definitely one to watch out for.

Uh-

Can I tell you, too, that, uh, Wasco is known for their carrots, so if you're into eating carrots, go to Wasco.

So wh- where is Wasco?

You're connecting one part of a random olive grove in the Central Valley to another random part of the Central Valley that doesn't connect anybody to anywhere.

Who's commuting from Madera, not Merced, to Wasco? Who?

Someone who's getting transferred to a different prison?

We're gonna have the only fully functioned high-speed rail system of its kind anywhere in the United States of America.

"Henry, what are you doing these days?" "Oh, I'm on the high-speed rail commission." "Yeah, but what do you actually do?" And I'm not trying to be a jerk.

I'm like, "What do you actually do?" Well, he goes, "Well, tomorrow I'm driving down to Wasco, where we're dedicating, uh, an $8 million veterans memorial." Now, since I say USMC retired after my name, I'm obviously pretty pro-veteran.

I think we can go with that.

So the idea of a veterans memorial, uh, um, conceptually, but it's in Wasco, it's $8 million, and it's coming out of the high-speed rail budget.

And, you know, he gave no explanation for this.

Would you possibly be able to editorialize on this?

It's not even gonna go from Merced to Bakersfield.

It's gonna go from Madera to a random lemon grove outside of Wasco.

[laughs]

You see, though, this is why he can't have someone on that stage with him with the ability to ask follow-ups who understands the issues, because that would be the obvious question that would be posed to him, and there's no good answer because what he's doing is indefensible.

And I also am sitting here thinking about you are the average of the five people that you spend the most time with, and I'm thinking about kids, and I was hiking with a friend on Monday, and he was telling me about his kids and how he called himself an authoritarian.

And he really kind of whipped, and he grew up in Wasco, which is Central California.

He said there was probably 100 kids at his high school and 90 of them are today in jails, institution, or prison.

And so he was very lucky and he's very, actually, you know him, James, that was at your event.
