1
00:00:02,669 --> 00:00:04,029
Is it worth it?
2
00:00:04,097 --> 00:00:05,264
Is what worth it?
3
00:00:05,351 --> 00:00:06,917
Moving to Bakersfield.
4
00:00:07,005 --> 00:00:09,300
Anyone he's willing
to leave Denver for
5
00:00:09,399 --> 00:00:11,180
- has got to be amazing.
- Thank you.
6
00:00:11,313 --> 00:00:12,790
To whom it may concern.
7
00:00:12,886 --> 00:00:15,089
"You are in ownership of
property

00:00:15,177 --> 00:00:17,472

10
00:00:18,799 --> 00:00:20,417
Seizing the rodeo?!
11
00:00:20,553 --> 00:00:21,880
I think we should fight this.
12
00:00:21,968 --> 00:00:23,525
Let's fight it.
I love that.
13
00:00:23,613 --> 00:00:25,218
- I'm in.
- I'm in. - I'm in.
14
00:00:25,305 --> 00:00:29,229
City hall, here come the Baskets!

00:00:31,917 --> 00:00:33,424
Episode Title:
"Mrs. Baskets Goes to Sacramento"
17
00:00:34,051 --> 00:00:35,196
802...
18
00:00:35,364 --> 00:00:38,130
803... 801?
19
00:00:38,411 --> 00:00:40,161
Now it's going down.
20
00:00:40,486 --> 00:00:42,137
Oh, I'm so confused.
21
00:00:42,225 --> 00:00:44,596
It's a classic
big government tactic.
22
00:00:44,684 --> 00:00:46,472
Confuse the proletariat.
23
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:49,276
Hey, Mom and Dale, I found it.
It's down here.
24
00:00:49,364 --> 00:00:51,044
Oh, here it is.
25
00:00:51,622 --> 00:00:53,995
Oh... oh, finally, a human.
26
00:00:54,083 --> 00:00:55,414
Oh, that's me.
27
00:00:55,501 --> 00:00:58,518
I'm here to see
Assemblyman Brian Von Vogel.
28
00:00:58,606 --> 00:01:00,417
- Yes.
- Oh, well,
29
00:01:00,505 --> 00:01:02,288
he's not in
his office now.
30
00:01:02,375 --> 00:01:04,057
But if you look here
31
00:01:04,145 --> 00:01:05,959
- on his website...
- Uh-huh.
32
00:01:06,046 --> 00:01:07,627
- Just press that button.
- Oh.
33
00:01:07,714 --> 00:01:09,387
Well, we want to see him
in person.
34
00:01:09,475 --> 00:01:10,708
We're here to take some names
35
00:01:10,796 --> 00:01:12,844
and, uh, bust some skulls,
right?
36
00:01:13,019 --> 00:01:15,268
Well, not right now.
We just want to speak to him.
37
00:01:15,355 --> 00:01:17,436
Oh. Oh, okay.
38
00:01:17,591 --> 00:01:19,565
Let me try to find him for you.
39
00:01:19,653 --> 00:01:20,774
- Okay.
- Okay.
40
00:01:20,861 --> 00:01:23,083
"Contact Brian Vogel."
41
00:01:23,199 --> 00:01:27,434
Dear Brian. B-R-A-I-N.
42
00:01:27,522 --> 00:01:29,314
Ma'am, it's kind of
urgent that we talk to him.
43
00:01:29,402 --> 00:01:30,784
We own one of the properties
44
00:01:30,871 --> 00:01:32,292
that the government wants
to destroy
45
00:01:32,380 --> 00:01:33,870
so it can build
the bullet train.
46
00:01:33,958 --> 00:01:36,322
We're trying to save
our family rodeo.
47
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:38,106
Oh, neat.
48
00:01:38,263 --> 00:01:41,622
You know, they're having
a hearing in Sacramento
49
00:01:41,731 --> 00:01:43,362
- on the 15th.
- Oh.
50
00:01:43,450 --> 00:01:45,528
You should go protest there.
51
00:01:46,252 --> 00:01:47,834
That's tomorrow.
52
00:01:47,934 --> 00:01:51,668
Oh, I know. This year has
just flown by.
53
00:01:51,925 --> 00:01:53,539
You know what?
54
00:01:54,036 --> 00:01:55,374
We should go.
55
00:01:55,528 --> 00:01:56,880
- Sacramento?
- Mm-hmm.
56
00:01:56,968 --> 00:01:59,887
Oh, it's so beautiful there
this time of year.
57
00:02:00,380 --> 00:02:01,647
Let's go to this.
58
00:02:01,972 --> 00:02:03,109
We have to.
59
00:02:03,197 --> 00:02:06,036
Oh, that's wonderful.
60
00:02:08,574 --> 00:02:11,490
Hey, Facebook Live,
this is Dale.
61
00:02:11,577 --> 00:02:13,387
Welcome to the proletariat rise.
62
00:02:13,475 --> 00:02:15,658
Um, I'll show you a few things.
63
00:02:15,746 --> 00:02:17,505
I got a bunch of flags here...
American flags...
64
00:02:17,650 --> 00:02:19,332
To make some protest suits
out of.
65
00:02:19,419 --> 00:02:22,368
Check out my shirt.
"Kiss My Caboose."
66
00:02:22,455 --> 00:02:26,286
Oh, I want to show you the...
the exterior...
67
00:02:27,260 --> 00:02:28,614
of my house.
68
00:02:31,932 --> 00:02:35,081
What the hell are you
wearing a suit for, Chip?
69
00:02:35,168 --> 00:02:37,416
Well, I thought we should
look professional.
70
00:02:37,503 --> 00:02:38,718
Are you filming me?
71
00:02:38,805 --> 00:02:40,053
Yeah, there's cameras
everywhere.
72
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,184
You better get used to it,
old man.
73
00:02:42,391 --> 00:02:45,257
Turn that off, please.
That's terrible music.
74
00:02:45,345 --> 00:02:47,026
Don't touch that.
75
00:02:47,113 --> 00:02:49,120
Now, say hello to my followers.
76
00:02:49,863 --> 00:02:52,365
Hey, Mom,
what's in the Tupperware?
77
00:02:52,452 --> 00:02:54,277
It's a Cindy Evans pie.
78
00:02:54,365 --> 00:02:56,166
It's for the government
officials.
79
00:02:56,260 --> 00:02:58,648
- Everybody's got a sweet tooth.
- Beautiful pie, Mom.
80
00:02:58,736 --> 00:03:00,008
- Will you take it?
- Sure.
81
00:03:00,096 --> 00:03:01,390
- Were you gonna get out?
- I'll get out.
82
00:03:01,478 --> 00:03:02,718
- Good.
- I'll let you sit in here, Mom.
83
00:03:02,806 --> 00:03:04,299
- Oh, I love...
- Hey, honey,
84
00:03:04,387 --> 00:03:05,611
you know
what I'm thinking?
85
00:03:05,699 --> 00:03:07,424
- What?
- I better pee one more time
86
00:03:07,512 --> 00:03:08,924
- before we go.
- Oh, God.
87
00:03:11,058 --> 00:03:13,906
Oh, it's so nice to have
all the family together.
88
00:03:13,994 --> 00:03:16,222
You know, fighting
for our legacy.
89
00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:18,197
- Yeah.
- I do have a question, though.
90
00:03:18,285 --> 00:03:20,258
- Who's gonna speak at the hearing?
- You know what?
91
00:03:20,346 --> 00:03:23,133
I nominate myself. I think
I have the best speaking skulls.
92
00:03:23,221 --> 00:03:24,135
Skills.
93
00:03:24,223 --> 00:03:25,562
But, you know, I'm the CEO.
I don't know.
94
00:03:25,650 --> 00:03:27,008
Should I... should I do it?
95
00:03:27,096 --> 00:03:28,434
If you do it,
you'll just get up there
96
00:03:28,521 --> 00:03:30,789
and drool all over
the microphone. Right, Mom?
97
00:03:30,877 --> 00:03:33,953
No. I'll tell you what.
I think I should do it.
98
00:03:34,041 --> 00:03:36,910
'Cause I am the face of all the
commercials for the rodeo,
99
00:03:37,049 --> 00:03:38,411
and I own it.
100
00:03:38,838 --> 00:03:42,148
Plus, I've got a great
opening line, you guys.
101
00:03:42,235 --> 00:03:43,424
Yeah? What is it?
102
00:03:43,512 --> 00:03:46,234
"The bullet train has
come off the rails."
103
00:03:46,322 --> 00:03:47,773
I can't beat that.
104
00:03:47,861 --> 00:03:49,322
That's really good, Mom.
105
00:03:49,410 --> 00:03:50,877
- Do you like it?
- Yeah.
106
00:03:50,965 --> 00:03:53,228
Also add, though, that in 2006,
107
00:03:53,346 --> 00:03:56,650
the-the budget for the
bullet train was 35 billion.
108
00:03:56,783 --> 00:03:59,494
And now it's skyrocketed
to 98 billion.
109
00:03:59,582 --> 00:04:01,133
Is that right?
110
00:04:01,221 --> 00:04:02,439
Yep. Yep.
111
00:04:02,527 --> 00:04:03,936
Oh, my God.
112
00:04:04,024 --> 00:04:05,978
Good for you, Chip.
Listen to you.
113
00:04:06,066 --> 00:04:08,211
I've never thought of you
like this.
114
00:04:08,299 --> 00:04:10,822
- Like what?
- Well, you're so smart.
115
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,900
I mean, I've always thought you
were smart,
116
00:04:12,988 --> 00:04:14,783
- don't get me wrong.
- No, he's never been that smart.
117
00:04:14,892 --> 00:04:16,267
- But that sounded smart.
- No, I-I mean,
118
00:04:16,355 --> 00:04:19,004
but you're really
applying yourself here.
119
00:04:19,092 --> 00:04:20,819
Well, I just, you know,
I'm just trying to
120
00:04:20,907 --> 00:04:23,356
- act like a CEO.
- Very nice.
121
00:04:23,443 --> 00:04:24,700
Very nice.
122
00:04:24,974 --> 00:04:26,724
220 miles to go!
123
00:04:26,812 --> 00:04:28,895

134
00:05:00,145 --> 00:05:02,230
Lady Liberty!
135
00:05:02,318 --> 00:05:03,698
- We made it.
- Yeah.
136
00:05:03,786 --> 00:05:06,245
- Come on, girl.
- Oh, it's so beautiful.
137
00:05:06,333 --> 00:05:08,501
My tax dollars at work!
138
00:05:08,588 --> 00:05:10,964
We made it to the capitol!
139
00:05:11,052 --> 00:05:13,122
Be a killer place for a selfie.
140
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:15,130
This is
a "no parking" zone, ma'am.
141
00:05:15,218 --> 00:05:17,488
Oh, honey, move the camper.
You can't park here.
142
00:05:17,576 --> 00:05:18,941
- Not it. Not it.
- Yeah,
143
00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:20,970
- I heard you, Dale. Take the pie.
- Thank you.
144
00:05:21,064 --> 00:05:24,038
Ah, what is this,
Neoclassical Californian?
145
00:05:24,132 --> 00:05:25,337
I have no idea,
146
00:05:25,425 --> 00:05:28,040
- but it is breathtaking.
- Oh, my God!
147
00:05:31,111 --> 00:05:32,858
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
148
00:05:32,945 --> 00:05:34,860
You can't park
that thing here, man.
149
00:05:34,947 --> 00:05:36,507
It's way too high.
150
00:05:36,594 --> 00:05:38,129
Okay, sorry.
151
00:05:40,723 --> 00:05:42,483
Here we go.
152
00:05:53,433 --> 00:05:54,867
Dale...
153
00:06:01,295 --> 00:06:05,621
Hey, here we are on the
steps of the State Capitol!
154
00:06:05,746 --> 00:06:07,093
Hi, everybody.
I'm Dale Baskets,
155
00:06:07,180 --> 00:06:09,027
and this is the lady
of the hour.
156
00:06:09,121 --> 00:06:11,397
- Are we live?
- Yeah, this is live, Mom.
157
00:06:11,484 --> 00:06:13,799
Oh, hi to my church group.
Hi, Maggie.
158
00:06:13,886 --> 00:06:16,377
- Okay, let's...
- We're in the, uh, State Capitol.
159
00:06:16,465 --> 00:06:17,931
What else, Mom?
What else do you want to say?
160
00:06:18,019 --> 00:06:20,582
Oh, I love America,
and I love justice.
161
00:06:20,670 --> 00:06:22,885
Okay, so watch this, we're gonna
do the Statue of Liberty pose.
162
00:06:22,973 --> 00:06:23,801
- Go ahead, Mom.
- Oh!
163
00:06:23,896 --> 00:06:24,978
The Statue of Liberty!
164
00:06:25,065 --> 00:06:26,579
Yeah, there you go.
A little higher.
165
00:06:26,666 --> 00:06:28,914
There you go. Okay, let me just
back up a little,
166
00:06:29,001 --> 00:06:30,449
get this a little... Oh, God!
167
00:06:34,207 --> 00:06:35,588
Oh, my God.
168
00:06:35,675 --> 00:06:37,123
I'm all right, sir, thank you.
169
00:06:37,210 --> 00:06:38,424
You okay, Mama?
170
00:06:38,511 --> 00:06:39,782
- Okay.
- Oh, my God, are you okay?
171
00:06:39,870 --> 00:06:42,257
Yeah, we're okay.
It happens often, actually.
172
00:06:42,345 --> 00:06:43,997
- Is she okay?
- Yeah, she'll be fine.
173
00:06:44,084 --> 00:06:45,999
- We fall down a lot as a family.
- Oh.
174
00:06:46,238 --> 00:06:48,001
Hey, uh, the pie's okay, Mom.
175
00:06:48,088 --> 00:06:50,269
- That's good, honey.
- Yeah, let me give you a hand.
176
00:06:50,356 --> 00:06:52,722
Please relieve yourselves
of all electronic items.
177
00:06:52,810 --> 00:06:54,392
Cell phones, car keys,
loose change.
178
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,628
Okay, we're right here in the,
the belly of the beast.
179
00:06:56,762 --> 00:06:58,844
We're getting ready to
go through security.
180
00:06:58,931 --> 00:07:00,868
There we go.
There goes Mama.
181
00:07:00,956 --> 00:07:02,448
- Okay. It's okay.
- Oh, my God, I'm buzzed.
182
00:07:02,535 --> 00:07:04,317
Come here, arms out.
183
00:07:04,404 --> 00:07:06,675
And, uh, there's the apple pie.
184
00:07:07,073 --> 00:07:08,534
A little damaged,
but that's okay.
185
00:07:08,622 --> 00:07:10,170
- Sir, please stop filming...
- Thank you.
186
00:07:10,277 --> 00:07:11,829
And please put the phone
in the container.
187
00:07:11,917 --> 00:07:13,626
Stop filming? Okay.
188
00:07:13,713 --> 00:07:14,994
- Thank you, sir.
- There you go.
189
00:07:15,081 --> 00:07:16,529
And just...?
190
00:07:18,135 --> 00:07:19,465
Hey, who can I
191
00:07:19,552 --> 00:07:21,896
talk to about those stairs?
192
00:07:21,984 --> 00:07:23,802
Has anyone else tripped on those?
193
00:07:23,889 --> 00:07:25,207
- Well, that thing's active, isn't it?
- Come on through.
194
00:07:25,295 --> 00:07:27,333
Okay, I don't have a belt buckle
on or anything.
195
00:07:27,421 --> 00:07:29,375
- Arms out.
- Where's... where's the pie going?
196
00:07:29,462 --> 00:07:30,809
- It's over to the side. It's fine, sir.
- Yeah, but where's...
197
00:07:30,896 --> 00:07:32,545
Can I have the phone, please?
Can I have my phone?
198
00:07:32,632 --> 00:07:34,980
- Oh, sir, please remove your boot.
- Mom, film this!
199
00:07:35,067 --> 00:07:37,350
- All right, I'll turn it on... Oh, my God.
- Remove your boot.
200
00:07:37,437 --> 00:07:39,652
- Well, I will when you tell me where my pie is.
- It's looking at me.
201
00:07:39,739 --> 00:07:42,655
- Honey? Why didn't you tell me I look like this?
- Mom, keep filming!
202
00:07:42,742 --> 00:07:45,858
- Pay attention, please!
- God, I look like a drunk.
203
00:07:45,945 --> 00:07:47,332
Sir, please remove your boot.
204
00:07:47,676 --> 00:07:49,363
- What?
- Please remove your boot.
205
00:07:49,451 --> 00:07:51,496
Remove my boot?
For what reason?
206
00:07:51,584 --> 00:07:53,232
These are American cowboy boots!
207
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:55,234
Your ankle section, sir.
- Oh, God!
208
00:07:55,321 --> 00:07:56,535
What's in the boot?
209
00:07:56,622 --> 00:07:59,038
What is going on?
I mean... Oh, this thing?
210
00:07:59,125 --> 00:08:00,506
- It's just a switchblade.
- Whoa! - Oh, honey!
211
00:08:00,593 --> 00:08:03,209
- It was a gift from my cousin Douglas.
- Hold on.
212
00:08:03,296 --> 00:08:05,044
- Sir, you are coming with us.
- What are you doing with a s...
213
00:08:05,131 --> 00:08:06,512
Are you in a gang?
214
00:08:06,599 --> 00:08:08,013
They're arresting me!
M-My hands are behind my back!
215
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:10,249
Where are you taking my son?
216
00:08:10,336 --> 00:08:13,686
I can't bring an American
knife to a U.S. Capitol building?!
217
00:08:13,773 --> 00:08:16,055
We've got to
do the bullet train thing.
218
00:08:16,142 --> 00:08:19,445
Mom, it's up to you now!
Stop the bullet train, Mom!
219
00:08:43,006 --> 00:08:44,370
Hey, telephone?
220
00:08:44,817 --> 00:08:47,190
Directions to State Capitol,
please.
221
00:08:48,982 --> 00:08:50,260
Hello?
222
00:08:51,514 --> 00:08:53,496
Directions.
223
00:08:55,552 --> 00:08:57,356
30 minutes?
224
00:09:06,158 --> 00:09:10,058
Chip... parked 30 minutes away?
Where are you?
225
00:09:10,455 --> 00:09:12,269
Oh. Ah.
226
00:09:12,850 --> 00:09:15,599
Is this the line to be heard
on the Senate floor?
227
00:09:15,764 --> 00:09:19,014
- Uh, sure is. Yeah.
- Oh...
228
00:09:19,188 --> 00:09:21,605
I wish I would've thought
to bring a chair.
229
00:09:21,711 --> 00:09:24,409
Hmm. Hmm. Yeah.
230
00:09:34,128 --> 00:09:35,980
Hey, Christine, how's it going?
231
00:09:36,090 --> 00:09:38,840
Oh, I don't know.
It's all topsy-turvy.
232
00:09:39,036 --> 00:09:42,118
Dale got arrested
and Chip's wandering around
233
00:09:42,385 --> 00:09:44,635
who knows where
in Sacramento, and...
234
00:09:44,723 --> 00:09:47,433
and I can't remember
what I'm gonna say up there.
235
00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:49,863
I hate to say this, but...
236
00:09:50,214 --> 00:09:53,097
it is a lot of money
they're offering you.
237
00:09:53,246 --> 00:09:56,995
Money?
K-Ken, we're fighting this.
238
00:09:57,176 --> 00:09:58,658
I mean, think about it, really.
239
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,995
Who is the rodeo benefiting?
240
00:10:01,083 --> 00:10:03,050
Chip loves the rodeo.
241
00:10:03,138 --> 00:10:04,720
Come on, does he?
242
00:10:04,808 --> 00:10:06,843
I mean, really, think about it.
243
00:10:09,409 --> 00:10:11,409
You'll do the right thing, Christine.
244
00:10:11,497 --> 00:10:13,345
- Well...
- I have faith in you.
245
00:10:13,839 --> 00:10:15,269
Oh!
246
00:10:15,604 --> 00:10:17,488
Okay, here we are.
I am being told
247
00:10:17,576 --> 00:10:20,175
that my First Amendment rights,
because I'm filming,
248
00:10:20,263 --> 00:10:21,448
uh, are in jeopardy.
249
00:10:21,536 --> 00:10:22,950
- Is that what you're saying?
- You can film
250
00:10:23,038 --> 00:10:24,573
as much as you want, sir.
We-we just want to know why
251
00:10:24,661 --> 00:10:27,152
- you brought a weapon into the building.
- Oh! He wants to know
252
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,878
why I brought a weapon
into the building.
253
00:10:28,966 --> 00:10:30,314
So I don't have my
Second Amendment rights, either.
254
00:10:30,447 --> 00:10:31,427
Is that, is that what you guys
255
00:10:31,514 --> 00:10:33,167
are telling me?
I mean, the message boards
256
00:10:33,308 --> 00:10:34,511
are gonna light up
on this thing.
257
00:10:34,599 --> 00:10:36,848
So, my First Amendment rights
are in jeopardy,
258
00:10:36,936 --> 00:10:38,167
my Sec...
259
00:10:38,255 --> 00:10:39,335
Oh, gosh.
Low battery.
260
00:10:39,423 --> 00:10:40,837
I'm losing the charge here.
261
00:10:41,084 --> 00:10:44,735
- Do you have a power cord that I could borrow?
- No.
262
00:10:45,345 --> 00:10:48,159
- Ma'am?
- I left mine in my car.
263
00:10:48,247 --> 00:10:49,269
Well, go get it.
264
00:10:50,266 --> 00:10:51,784
Never mind,
that'll take too much time.
265
00:10:51,873 --> 00:10:53,714
Okay, uh...
all right, where was I?
266
00:10:53,802 --> 00:10:56,363
I was saying s... It's dead.
267
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,980
Phone's dead.
268
00:10:58,224 --> 00:10:59,805
Battery's gone.
269
00:11:00,150 --> 00:11:03,621
Hey, do you have a
auxiliary hole in that body cam?
270
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:10,066
I am being illegally held here
in Sacramento at the, um...
271
00:11:10,163 --> 00:11:11,210
What is the name
of this building?
272
00:11:11,298 --> 00:11:13,331
- State Capitol.
- At the State Capitol!
273
00:11:13,419 --> 00:11:15,467
This is an SOS situation.
274
00:11:15,627 --> 00:11:17,709
I'm almost cuffed!
275
00:11:25,606 --> 00:11:27,082
- Ooh!
- Oh!
276
00:11:27,170 --> 00:11:28,418
- God, I'm sorry.
- Oh, my God, are you okay?
277
00:11:28,505 --> 00:11:30,469
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
278
00:11:30,564 --> 00:11:32,313
That's a great ensemble you got
there, though.
279
00:11:32,401 --> 00:11:35,183
- Oh, thank you. I sewed this myself.
- Oh.
280
00:11:35,449 --> 00:11:36,730
Are-are you leaving?
281
00:11:36,818 --> 00:11:39,328
My feet hurt.
My family's supposed to be here.
282
00:11:39,416 --> 00:11:40,797
We have a business and...
283
00:11:40,885 --> 00:11:43,333
they're gonna do with that train
what they want anyways.
284
00:11:43,586 --> 00:11:44,915
Not necessarily.
285
00:11:45,003 --> 00:11:46,813
- No?
- I'd love to hear your story
286
00:11:47,024 --> 00:11:48,633
if you'd like to share it.
287
00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:50,196
Christine Baskets.
288
00:11:50,284 --> 00:11:51,832
Hi. Come with me.
289
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,526
- Nice to meet you.
- Our group has an area up front.
290
00:11:53,614 --> 00:11:55,675
- Oh, up front?
- Up front.
291
00:11:56,036 --> 00:11:57,981
You're a godsend.
292
00:12:00,103 --> 00:12:02,300
You have
arrived at your destination.
293
00:12:04,402 --> 00:12:06,404
State Capitol Coffee?
294
00:12:08,354 --> 00:12:10,728
Ma'am, do you, do you know
where the, uh, State Capitol is?
295
00:12:10,816 --> 00:12:13,065
Uh, yeah, it's a couple miles
that way.
296
00:12:13,153 --> 00:12:14,521
Couple miles?
297
00:12:18,292 --> 00:12:19,577
Okay, Mom. Okay.
298
00:12:21,298 --> 00:12:23,245
Hey! Excuse me!
299
00:12:23,664 --> 00:12:25,946
- Is your tricycle for hire?
- Yeah.
300
00:12:26,136 --> 00:12:29,883
Great. I need to go to the, uh,
State Capitol building.
301
00:12:30,112 --> 00:12:33,875
Every morning.
Every morning I wake up to it.
302
00:12:33,963 --> 00:12:34,998
Ah, what's going on in here?
303
00:12:35,086 --> 00:12:36,454
This is
what's happening in Fresno.
304
00:12:36,542 --> 00:12:39,766
- Oh, is this the hearing? Oh.
- It's louder than a nuclear explosion.
305
00:12:39,867 --> 00:12:42,549
- What's her deal?
- The air is unsafe to breathe.
306
00:12:42,637 --> 00:12:45,077
This is what's happening
in Fresno!
307
00:12:45,165 --> 00:12:47,425
- Good day!
- Thank you.
308
00:12:48,096 --> 00:12:50,995
We will now hear from
Robert Shockley of Palmdale.
309
00:12:51,157 --> 00:12:53,136
Oh, God.
310
00:12:53,494 --> 00:12:54,472
Hello.
311
00:12:54,611 --> 00:12:57,225
- Oh, I know him. Yes.
- My name is Robert Shockley.
312
00:12:57,385 --> 00:13:00,413
And, yes, I currently live
in Palmdale. However, uh,
313
00:13:00,501 --> 00:13:02,331
my entire family
lives in Gilroy.
314
00:13:02,419 --> 00:13:05,628
And, uh, I had to move
to Palmdale after I...
315
00:13:05,718 --> 00:13:07,671
lost the use of both my legs
316
00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:10,868
because there was a cheaper
rehabilitation center there,
317
00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:14,241
and it's all
my insurance would cover.
318
00:13:14,331 --> 00:13:16,171
- Oh.
- I can't drive.
319
00:13:16,259 --> 00:13:20,022
A high-speed rail would allow me
to go home every weekend
320
00:13:20,110 --> 00:13:21,524
to be with my family.
321
00:13:21,612 --> 00:13:23,520
Hey, don't worry
about going up there, okay?
322
00:13:23,608 --> 00:13:24,575
You're gonna be great.
323
00:13:24,663 --> 00:13:25,858
Just... here's some
talking points.
324
00:13:25,946 --> 00:13:27,695
- Just work them into your speech.
- Oh.
325
00:13:27,783 --> 00:13:29,197
You'll be golden.
326
00:13:29,285 --> 00:13:31,749
- Look at these.
- Do it for everyone
327
00:13:32,233 --> 00:13:36,022
who wants to stay in touch
with their families.
328
00:13:36,172 --> 00:13:38,598
- Well, I hope my kids make it.
- No matter how far away...
329
00:13:38,686 --> 00:13:41,226
- You know, they're on their way.
- From the Central Valley they live.
330
00:13:41,313 --> 00:13:44,229
Oh, look at that.
We're so close. There it is.
331
00:13:44,316 --> 00:13:46,974
Oh, actually, that's a one-way
the wrong way.
332
00:13:47,062 --> 00:13:48,888
You can't go that way.
You got to go around.
333
00:13:49,039 --> 00:13:50,554
I'll just get out here, then.
334
00:13:50,642 --> 00:13:52,056
Fine, no problem.
335
00:13:52,144 --> 00:13:54,012
That'll be 97 bucks.
336
00:13:56,372 --> 00:13:59,247
$97? I don't have $97.
337
00:13:59,375 --> 00:14:01,052
- Plus tip.
- Tip?
338
00:14:01,336 --> 00:14:04,190
- I thank you for your time.
- Oh.
339
00:14:05,685 --> 00:14:08,177
Thank you.
And now, we will hear
340
00:14:08,285 --> 00:14:09,763
from the California Bus Lobby.
341
00:14:09,851 --> 00:14:12,411
- That's us.
- Th-That's us?
342
00:14:12,515 --> 00:14:14,450
- Mm-hmm. Yep.
- We're the Bus Lobby?
343
00:14:14,538 --> 00:14:17,587
What the hell
is going on here?
344
00:14:19,833 --> 00:14:21,700
Thank you, Senator.
345
00:14:21,859 --> 00:14:23,489
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'd like to introduce you
346
00:14:23,577 --> 00:14:26,025
to a very important
small business owner
347
00:14:26,113 --> 00:14:27,661
from Bakersfield, California.
348
00:14:28,250 --> 00:14:31,458
Her name is Christine
and she owns a rodeo.
349
00:14:31,642 --> 00:14:33,872
A rodeo that would be destroyed
350
00:14:34,034 --> 00:14:35,364
by the bullet train.
351
00:14:35,664 --> 00:14:37,279
So, without further ado,
352
00:14:37,445 --> 00:14:38,893
Christine Buckets.
353
00:14:39,542 --> 00:14:41,786
What? What's this?
354
00:14:42,102 --> 00:14:44,856
"Sunset... Coach Lines"?
355
00:14:52,059 --> 00:14:53,506
Oh, my God.
356
00:14:56,042 --> 00:14:58,293
Anyway, I'm here...
357
00:14:59,354 --> 00:15:02,167
uh, as owner
of the Baskets...
358
00:15:03,175 --> 00:15:05,509
Family Rodeo with my two sons
359
00:15:05,597 --> 00:15:07,495
and, uh...
360
00:15:07,649 --> 00:15:10,315
the bullet train
is off the rails.
361
00:15:14,542 --> 00:15:16,183
Uh...
362
00:15:16,499 --> 00:15:20,583
"The bus is a better alternative
363
00:15:20,710 --> 00:15:24,294
than a bullet train,
so the bus stops here"?
364
00:15:24,599 --> 00:15:26,424
What is this about?
365
00:15:26,886 --> 00:15:28,300
Who wrote this?
366
00:15:28,611 --> 00:15:31,737
Oh, my God. Your Honor,
hold on, Your Honor.
367
00:15:32,433 --> 00:15:33,847
This is not...
368
00:15:33,975 --> 00:15:37,761
I-I'm not affiliated with him.
369
00:15:37,849 --> 00:15:39,925
- Um...
- Three minutes, ma'am.
370
00:15:40,059 --> 00:15:41,743
Three minutes?
371
00:15:42,145 --> 00:15:44,911
Oh, God, hold on.
Let me start again.
372
00:15:46,059 --> 00:15:49,180
You know, we were
minding our own business
373
00:15:49,849 --> 00:15:52,164
in Bakersfield, California.
374
00:15:52,252 --> 00:15:53,493
I'm Christine Baskets,
375
00:15:53,802 --> 00:15:56,559
owner of the
Baskets Family Rodeo.
376
00:15:56,646 --> 00:15:58,528
- And we got a flyer.
- Sir.
377
00:15:58,615 --> 00:15:59,862
A letter, really.
378
00:15:59,949 --> 00:16:02,232
And they said
a bullet train was coming.
379
00:16:02,319 --> 00:16:05,935
And that they'd give us
some money for our property
380
00:16:06,022 --> 00:16:08,105
but we didn't have nothing
to say about it.
381
00:16:08,192 --> 00:16:10,039
And I guess that's how
we ended up here,
382
00:16:10,126 --> 00:16:13,076
we have something to say
and now I'm here and...
383
00:16:13,163 --> 00:16:15,212
I...
384
00:16:15,415 --> 00:16:17,747
I loved what Robert said
about his family.
385
00:16:17,834 --> 00:16:19,082
It was beautiful.
386
00:16:19,587 --> 00:16:22,252
And I guess
I started thinking...
387
00:16:22,339 --> 00:16:25,422
I bought my rodeo
to be closer to my family.
388
00:16:25,914 --> 00:16:28,048
And it was wonderful
for a while,
389
00:16:28,144 --> 00:16:30,227
but I have to be
honest with you.
390
00:16:30,515 --> 00:16:33,730
I think I was fighting the train
for selfish reasons.
391
00:16:33,817 --> 00:16:36,399
And maybe it's not fair of me
to stop a train
392
00:16:36,486 --> 00:16:39,218
that's gonna connect
other families.
393
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:42,106
You know, because really,
in my heart,
394
00:16:42,194 --> 00:16:44,475
- I should be in Denver.
- Wait, what?
395
00:16:44,563 --> 00:16:46,278
Huh?
396
00:16:46,648 --> 00:16:48,445
Oh. Sorry, Senators.
397
00:16:48,532 --> 00:16:51,164
This is Chip, who I was
talking about, my son.
398
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:54,317
He, he doesn't know any of this;
I haven't discussed it with him.
399
00:16:54,404 --> 00:16:58,087
This is... Chip, I just...
I had a revelation.
400
00:16:58,174 --> 00:16:59,822
You've got to hear
Robert's story.
401
00:17:00,018 --> 00:17:02,789
- Who's Robert?
- He's right here.
402
00:17:03,024 --> 00:17:04,547
He needs his family
403
00:17:04,635 --> 00:17:06,683
and that train's gonna put him
in contact with it
404
00:17:06,813 --> 00:17:08,768
- every week if he wants.
- Hi, Robert.
405
00:17:08,856 --> 00:17:12,694
Chip, maybe we should let
the train come through there.
406
00:17:13,010 --> 00:17:15,305
I think we've,
we've done everything we can
407
00:17:15,392 --> 00:17:17,440
- with that rodeo.
- I mean, I be...
408
00:17:17,588 --> 00:17:21,144
- I became a CEO.
- And you did a terrific job, honey.
409
00:17:21,385 --> 00:17:24,113
Yeah, but w-we had a plan.
410
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,088
I think the train will help
411
00:17:26,236 --> 00:17:28,851
people like Robert
and other families connect.
412
00:17:29,205 --> 00:17:31,154
And isn't that what
we've been trying to do?
413
00:17:31,241 --> 00:17:32,789
Haven't we been
trying to connect?
414
00:17:32,876 --> 00:17:35,158
And that's why I bought
the rodeo, I wanted to connect.
415
00:17:35,901 --> 00:17:38,875
But now my home is...
And my life, Chip...
416
00:17:38,963 --> 00:17:41,531
It's in Denver with Ken.
417
00:17:41,823 --> 00:17:45,016
And I listened
to somebody on the way up here,
418
00:17:45,104 --> 00:17:46,169
on the radio,
419
00:17:46,256 --> 00:17:49,138
"The one change
in life is constant."
420
00:17:49,225 --> 00:17:50,673
- What?
- What'd they say?
421
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,544
No. No. "The only constant
in life is change."
422
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,313
That train's coming.
423
00:17:56,502 --> 00:17:58,094
That change is happening.
424
00:17:58,182 --> 00:17:59,758
And my granddaughter is bi.
425
00:17:59,923 --> 00:18:01,494
- What?
- Yes.
426
00:18:02,377 --> 00:18:05,032
I came here with him to protest
427
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:08,104
the train, but I'm, I'm...
428
00:18:08,674 --> 00:18:10,946
I'm leaving here...
429
00:18:11,487 --> 00:18:15,024
in favor of it.
I'm leaving here in favor of it.
430
00:18:15,432 --> 00:18:16,999
- Okay.
- Chip, wait. You don't...
431
00:18:17,087 --> 00:18:18,859
Oh, my God.
432
00:18:19,252 --> 00:18:20,870
So sensitive.
433
00:18:21,674 --> 00:18:23,673
Oh... well, I'd like to thank
434
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,932
the great state of California...
435
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,011
for your time...
436
00:18:29,205 --> 00:18:32,382
and for being my home
for many, many years.
437
00:18:32,698 --> 00:18:36,112
I'll be thinking of you
when I'm in the Mile High City.
438
00:18:42,407 --> 00:18:44,127
Chip?
- I'm just gonna go
439
00:18:44,215 --> 00:18:48,488
- get the RV.
- Honey, you have to realize I...
440
00:18:52,683 --> 00:18:55,010
Denver sounds like
a blast because I hear
441
00:18:55,098 --> 00:18:57,100
the thin air
makes you all freaky.
442
00:19:00,188 --> 00:19:02,649
You okay up there, Chip?
443
00:19:03,313 --> 00:19:05,274
I'm sorry I flip-flopped
on you, honey.
444
00:19:06,414 --> 00:19:07,953
I should have told you.
445
00:19:08,703 --> 00:19:11,852
I thought you were
a great CEO for our rodeo.
446
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,516
It's nothing on you.
447
00:19:14,078 --> 00:19:16,854
People just don't want
cowboys falling off bulls
448
00:19:16,984 --> 00:19:19,713
as much as they want
their lickety-split commute.
449
00:19:19,831 --> 00:19:21,100
You know?
450
00:19:21,612 --> 00:19:23,048
I need to figure
451
00:19:23,136 --> 00:19:24,925
- this out.
- You were supposed to make
452
00:19:25,042 --> 00:19:28,159
- a life plan.
- I-I... I-I tried.
453
00:19:28,307 --> 00:19:31,204
I did and... but I-I-I
just couldn't finish it.
454
00:19:31,292 --> 00:19:32,610
Things got too crazy in my life.
455
00:19:32,698 --> 00:19:33,743
Do you know how many people
456
00:19:33,831 --> 00:19:35,987
- have said that to me?
- I don't know. A lot.
457
00:19:36,151 --> 00:19:39,042
The rodeo was, you know,
458
00:19:39,144 --> 00:19:41,306
a thing I put my energy into
and I thought,
459
00:19:41,394 --> 00:19:42,915
"Okay, this could be
a good thing, the rodeo."
460
00:19:43,003 --> 00:19:46,808
And now it's gone.
The rodeo's gone.
461
00:19:46,925 --> 00:19:49,204
And the-the clowning endeavor,
I-I have no... I mean,
462
00:19:49,299 --> 00:19:51,056
my artistic endeav...
463
00:19:51,144 --> 00:19:52,808
Life is gone.
464
00:19:57,237 --> 00:19:58,644
I'm lost.
465
00:19:58,766 --> 00:20:01,751
I want to help you.
466
00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:04,136
I, I really do.
467
00:20:04,956 --> 00:20:06,392
And I know that I can,
468
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,222
it's just that you have
to make a real commitment.
469
00:20:09,877 --> 00:20:11,714
Do you understand?
470
00:20:11,987 --> 00:20:14,230
Yeah. I-I realize that now.
471
00:20:14,464 --> 00:20:15,787
I-I do.
472
00:20:16,383 --> 00:20:18,816
Okay. Then just...
473
00:20:19,730 --> 00:20:21,478
sign...
474
00:20:21,956 --> 00:20:23,071
right there.
475
00:20:23,159 --> 00:20:25,831
Okay. What is this?
476
00:20:25,926 --> 00:20:30,041
This is the best day
of your life.
477
00:20:32,854 --> 00:20:34,402
From now on,
478
00:20:34,490 --> 00:20:36,734
everything changes.
479
00:20:40,612 --> 00:20:41,992
You could be happy.
