My convo with Carly...

Actually, "our" conversation with Carly - Carly Fiorina.

Earlier this week on the John Batchelor Show, Messrs. Batchelor, Devin Nunes and I interviewed Fiorina, the woman looking to unseat three-term U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA).

Carly Fiorina...

The following, from Batchelor's blog, describes the encounter:

"Spoke to Carly Fiorina and Devin Nunes CA-21 (R) re the senate race in California, and learned that Barbara Boxer has just launched an ad campaign attacking Fiorina as a rich, spoiled, indifferent and failed capitalist for her tenure at HP. Fiornia pushed back accordingly; mention that building HP into the big cheese in Silicon Valleyis her legacy. The surprise to me is that Boxer has heretofore committed her campaign to preaching on green jobs and energy reform in California and nationally, and now she is shifting to ad hominem. Not a strong move."

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA 21)...

Batchelor continues: "Devin Nunes spoke passionately of the mandated water troubles in the San Joaquin Valley caused by radical environmentalists in San Francisco and Los Angeles and by regulation from Sacramento. Jeff Bliss raised the San Bruno investigation, and Carly Fiorina commented that Barbara Boxer ran a committee on the environment and energy and that she had done nothing in her service to address the out-of-date energy infrastructure in California that gives us a sixty-year-old pipe failure. Of the Tea Party, Carly Fiorina said she has attended many events and will again and welcomes the energy of citizens who are disgusted with the business as usual of Washington and Sacramento."

The John Batchelor Show...

Airwaves alert...

It’s turning out to be a busy week here at Broadcast Central®…

Carly Fiorina...

Tonight, it’s a special edition of the John Batchelor Show’s “Hotel California” as we interview Carly Fiorina (R), U.S. Senate candidate, from 6-6:30 p.m. PDT. The “we” includes John Batchelor, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA 21) and me. I’ll be broadcasting out of KSFO 560 AM in San Francisco (so if you’re outside the reach of its powerful antennas and catapults, you can listen to the show via its website).

At 6:35 p.m., I’ll shift over to the Central Coast’s favorite station, KVEC 920 AM, to chat with host Dave Congalton about the surging Tea Party movement and the results of recent elections (including last night’s surprising results in Delaware and New York). If you’re not in the broadcast area, you can listen online via KVEC’s website.

After Dave’s show, it’s back to the John Batchelor Show – beginning at 7 p.m. PDT – to talk about California gubernatorial Democratic candidate Jerry Brown's latest gaffe concerning Bill Clinton as well as his newest anti-Meg Whitman (R) attack ads. And we’ll likely discuss the latest news surrounding the recent pipeline disaster/recovery in nearby San Bruno.

San Bruno last Friday...

And tomorrow morning (Thursday), I'll join Brian Sussman, Officer Vic and Sheri Yee for another "adventure" on the KSFO-AM 560 morning show beginning around 8 a.m. PDT. If you’re in the Bay Area, you can tune in (it’s still a free country…I think) or listen anywhere in the world via the web.

Happy listening!

So last night...

Last night's John Batchelor Show was filled with interesting (and breaking) news...including a federal judge's decision to overturn California's voter approved ban (Proposition 8) on same-sex marriages. Below you will find links to the podcasts from my co-hosting stint during the first two hours...
