1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Live from Vall Hartbeyer and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: Tony Kats Today. 3 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,240 Speaker 2: Welcome back everybody, two hour three of Tony Kats Today. 4 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 2: This is Monday, August twenty fifth. It's our last and 5 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 2: final hour. I'm your guest host Kira and Javis, host 6 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 2: of Just Listen to Yourself of Kia Davis. That's a 7 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 2: critical thinking podcast you can find wherever you find Podcasts. 8 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 2: Is on hiatus for the summer, but there's tons and 9 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,599 Speaker 2: tons of episodes. Best place though to keep up with 10 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 2: what I'm doing. If you're on X I'm very active. 11 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: That's probably the social media platform I'm most active on 12 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 2: at Real Kiara Davis or make sure you're signed up 13 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: for my substack. And it's just it's a mix of 14 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: opinion but also keeping you informed about news stories that 15 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: I don't think everyone sees, especially when it comes to 16 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 2: what's happening here in California. And before the break, we 17 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 2: were talking about what is going on here in California 18 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: with our governor and he's adopted this strange new tactic 19 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: to imitate Trump and his team thinks they're really having 20 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 2: great success. I'm convinced they bought they're buying bought likes 21 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 2: the gate, they'll have a lot of engagement, but the 22 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: like it's a lot of likes. All of a sudden, 23 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 2: it just smells like the fix is in. And I 24 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 2: think they think it's clever. I think, again, it's not 25 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: parody if you don't know what it means. And I 26 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: think they think it's clever, and we think it's dumb. 27 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: So they keep saying conservatives can't stop talking about it, 28 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: but we're not threatened by it, or we just think 29 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: it's weird, it's very it's again, go to X and 30 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: just look at look at the I wouldn't even bother 31 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: reading it to you because it wouldn't even make sense 32 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: to read it to you. I a lot of it's 33 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 2: in all caps, which I have now started ignoring. 34 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: So but. 35 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: They think it's it's clever, that's some kind of clever strategy. 36 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 2: But what they don't understand it's not just that we're 37 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: making fun of them, but we feel almost sorry for them. 38 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 2: Like this is cringe levels of not getting it, just 39 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:39,279 Speaker 2: cringe levels. I cannot get over how absolutely the Democrats 40 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 2: have become. This is not it would not on my 41 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: Bengo card. I really my whole political life. I've been 42 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 2: I've always been politically active. I have always, even when 43 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 2: I was a big LIB. Like I was raised by 44 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: godless hippies, you know, they were pro My mom. Still 45 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: she's a Canadian, she's a big Canadian LIB. She's still 46 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: up there protests again, she protests against the stuff she 47 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: votes for. So don't even get me started on that. 48 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: But yeah, but I'm just saying I've always been politically engaged, 49 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: and so I've almost I guess I kind of forgot 50 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: where I was going at this point. Oh, I guess 51 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 2: even back then, I couldn't have figured. I couldn't have 52 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: imagined how far the Democrats would have fallen. I always 53 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: thought of them as really on point with their engagement, 54 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 2: like they really had a well oiled machine. And I think, 55 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 2: as I was saying before the break, I was saying, 56 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: I remember Elon Musk saying, we're living in the Truman Show, 57 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: and when the lid comes off all of this, you're 58 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: going to be shocked at how much of your what 59 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: you think is real isn't real. And I think the 60 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: elections are going to be a big part of that. 61 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: I don't think Democrats have been winning elections in this country. 62 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: I don't. 63 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: Think. 64 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: I think that's the Truman show Elon was talking about, 65 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: and that's why they're fighting all this so hard. This 66 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: is their last negotiation for a seat at the table 67 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: before they get pushed all the way out. I don't 68 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: think they've been genuinely winning most elections. I don't believe 69 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: this country is split fifty to fifty. It might be close, 70 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: but I don't believe it's split fifty to fifty. That's 71 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: all been a lie because everything they have is based 72 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: on the lie. They don't they think that changing the 73 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 2: tone of the messaging is going to help. And it's 74 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: not the tone of the messaging, it's the message. It's 75 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: the policy. It sucks. We don't want it. So you 76 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: can pretend that you're giving it to us like Donald Trump, 77 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 2: but we all know that you're not Donald Trump. And 78 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 2: nothing you're saying is you're not even pretending. That's the 79 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: worst part, Like you're not even pretending to be Donald Trump. 80 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: You're not saying, I'm going to do the same things 81 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: that Donald Trump is doing to make things better. You're 82 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: saying I'm going to sound like Donald Trump while doing 83 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: the same things that gave us Donald Trump. In the 84 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: first They're losing so badly I cannot even wrap my 85 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: mind around it, and yet they keep doing it every day. 86 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 2: So I don't want to get in their way. I 87 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: want them to lose. I want them to keep losing. 88 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: But as a California and I have to tell you that, 89 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: as much as I'm trying not to let this get 90 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: to me because I know that's the point, I do 91 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 2: find it deeply insulting, but not because of the Trump. 92 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: You know, I don't care you make fun of Trump. 93 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 2: Trump makes fun of himself. Nobody cares if you make 94 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: fun of Donald Trump. Have you learned nothing from Elon Musk? 95 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 2: You will never out Trump Trump. The right loved Elon, 96 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: but the second he stepped out of line with Donald 97 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: Trump persona non grata, it's Trump that's the winner, not Elon. 98 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: He's a great inventor, a great innovator, a great man, 99 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: but it was Trump. He tried to out Trump Trump 100 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: and he couldn't do it. Gavin Newsom, Oh, Gavin Newsom 101 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 2: can't even hold a candle to guy like Elon Musk, 102 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: so he's definitely not going to out Trump Trump. But 103 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 2: instead of thinking about how I'm going to fix things. 104 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 2: I'm going to change things by even pretending you're Donald Trump. 105 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: It's just messaging. And so what are the rest of 106 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: us doing here in California? We're suffering. He's trolling us. 107 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 2: I read you that tweet. Gavin's talking about Trump making 108 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 2: things unafford unaffordable. The average home here in California is 109 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 2: a million dollars. Home ownership is almost it's a pipe 110 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: dream for almost every Californian, almost every single one. I 111 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 2: live in the fancy suburbs here in California. And when 112 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 2: we got here, I used to ask myself, how are 113 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: all these young couples affording these homes? Like I can't 114 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 2: even afford to buy my home here, and I'm middle age, 115 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 2: and we're very we have lucrative career, we have very 116 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 2: good careers. Why can't I afford to live like this here? 117 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 2: And then as I got to know people, I realized, well, no, 118 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 2: a lot of these kids, these young kids, the only 119 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: way they can afford to live here is they have 120 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 2: help from their parents. So their parents are gifting them 121 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 2: down payments for homes or gifting them you know, I'll 122 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: make the mortgage payment for you over time or whatever. 123 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 2: And by the way, I don't have any moral qualms 124 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,239 Speaker 2: with that. I don't look at those people with envy 125 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: at all, not at all, because yeah, that's what you 126 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: have to do to own a home here, to live here. 127 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: Every day people are La is a nightmare every day 128 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: every day. Your car, it's carjackings, it's murders. It's even 129 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: in Beverly Hills, in Brentwood, the gated communities, even there, 130 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: the roving home invasion gangs have targeted them. That's why 131 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, this is why I said, don't believe 132 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: the hype, don't believe the pulling. Everyone hates Scavin Newsom here. 133 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 2: He's burned literally every last bridge here. Everyone hates him. 134 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: It's not the voters that are going to give him 135 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: this win, it's the cheating. Everyone hates him here. He's 136 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: a horrible human being and we all know it, and 137 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 2: even his rich donors understand that. Now, that's another thing 138 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 2: that you're seeing him do. He's desperate. You're seeing desperation here. 139 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 2: Don't believe you're lying eyes troll. He is trolling his 140 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: own voters, his own citizens. We are hurting. Pacific Palisades 141 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 2: is nowhere. It's not even a shred towards being rebuilt. 142 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 2: But you know what is happening there. The government has 143 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 2: allowed for developers to come in and buy the proper cheaply, 144 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: and they've changed his owning laws so you can put 145 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 2: what death right, high density affordable housing there. Gosh, isn't 146 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 2: that convenient? How that worked out? The evil that runs 147 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: this state is unimaginable. And I would ask those of 148 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: you out there who think it's fun to insult us, 149 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 2: or think it's fun to make fun of us for 150 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 2: the way we vote, I would ask you for just 151 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: a modicum of compassion because we are not Gavin Newsome. 152 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: We're me, We're regular people. Most of the people in 153 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 2: the state are regular working class people. Why are they 154 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 2: still here? Well, there's lots of reasons why people stay 155 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 2: where they are. Not to mention, how much do you 156 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: think it costs to move somewhere. It's a lot of 157 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 2: money because you don't just leave, right. You live in 158 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: a state where every single person, even the rich people, 159 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 2: lives paycheck to paycheck. But you've got to save a 160 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 2: few thousand dollars for a moving truck if you're going 161 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 2: to take your stuff with you, or a U haul, 162 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: if you're going to do it yourself, then you've got 163 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 2: to save at least a few thousand dollars for rent 164 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 2: in some other city or some other state. Right you 165 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 2: have to pay your rent upfront, you have to have 166 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: advance rent. I mean, it's a heavy lift for a 167 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 2: lot of families to even try to leave the state. 168 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 2: They may want to, but even just having the money 169 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 2: to get up and go. Do you understand we are 170 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 2: trapped here. So Newsom's taking advantage of that. So again, 171 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 2: just to go back to the whole point of this, 172 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 2: it's that we're not going to vote for this jerrymandering 173 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 2: in California. We hate Newsome, everybody hates him. May it 174 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 2: probably will pass, but that will be because of the cheating. 175 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: Let me take a break here, because when we get back, 176 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you about two bills we've 177 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: got on the docket here in California. Don't think the 178 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: jerrymandering is the least is the most of our worries here, 179 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 2: it's the least. We've got two insane bills here in 180 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 2: California weaving their way through the legislature. I want to 181 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 2: talk to you about them because, again, as California goes, 182 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 2: so it goes the rest of the nation, don't go anywhere. 183 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: I'm Curre Davis filling in for Tony Kats and this 184 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 2: is Tony Kats Today. Welcome back everybody too, Tony Katz Today, Monday, 185 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: August twenty five, with them your host, your guest host 186 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 2: for today, Kira Davis. Tony will be back in tomorrow. 187 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: We've been talking about crazy California. Lots of crazy stuff 188 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: going on here, so I promised that I would let 189 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 2: you know a couple of bills that we're currently battling 190 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 2: along with this jerrymannering thing. I have to say it is, 191 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 2: it's exhausting doing political work here. You're never there's never 192 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: one front. And when you're an opinion journalist like me 193 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 2: and you, so you have a broad spectrum of things 194 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 2: that you pay attention to. Everybody is hitting you up 195 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: for coverage because there's just so much. I mean, as 196 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: soon as I get off the phone with you, I'm 197 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 2: going to go talk to a school board member in 198 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 2: a neighboring city who has been trying to out her 199 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 2: district's gender transition plan. Her school district has a secret 200 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: gender transition plan the student can apply for and the 201 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 2: school will change the student's name, provide them with quote 202 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: gender affirming care and counseling, and hide their identity from 203 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: parents if requested by the student. I'm going to go 204 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 2: talk to this lady about that. But guess what this 205 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: is all. I mean, this is just one piece. We 206 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: were fighting the gender affirming stuff and the gender ideology 207 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 2: stuff back in twenty thirteen here in California. I was 208 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 2: on the front lines of that battle. I did every 209 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: radio show, news program, podcast, anybody who would talk to 210 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 2: me about this. I spoke to Larry O'Connor and he 211 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 2: was in the Beltway, but him, you know, Bongino, Fox 212 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 2: News News. But I was on everything talking about this, 213 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: and everywhere I went, people said it's not true, this 214 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: can't be true. We were trying to get people in 215 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 2: California to pay attention to this, and we're screaming at 216 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 2: the top of our lungs. We said, this is ridiculous, 217 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 2: it's not true, and now here we are it's so 218 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 2: true that schools now have gender transition plans that are 219 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 2: that are secret plans to steal your child from you 220 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: while they're in school. Like that's what we're up against 221 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 2: here in California. So yeah, it's that crazy here. So 222 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 2: here's another bill we're fighting. This is Assembly Bill for 223 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 2: ninety five. I just told you what. I'm going to 224 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 2: go talk to this board member about Bill four ninety five. 225 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: I kid you not, I promise you this is the 226 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: exact truth. This is a bill designed to give adults 227 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 2: over the age of an eighteen agency over your child 228 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 2: if they just sign a simple affidavit. That's right. Eighty 229 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 2: forty nine will make it legal for any random adult 230 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 2: to come in off the street, go to your child 231 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 2: school or child's place of care during the day, sign 232 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 2: a piece of a paper affidavid this affidavit. It's just 233 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 2: a piece of paper you just signed. There's no background checks, 234 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 2: there's no there's no follow ups, nothing. It is simply 235 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: a piece of paper that says I am this child's guardian. 236 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 2: This is a child that lives in my place of 237 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 2: domicile I and now I am going to be making 238 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 2: medical and educational decisions for this child. So that person 239 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 2: could ostensibly take the child out of school, that could 240 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 2: could sign waivers for medication, for curriculum anything anything. So 241 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 2: of course, we immediately we're out there telling everybody, uh, no, Hello, 242 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 2: And the Democrat's response is, no, this isn't about this 243 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 2: is you guys are misreading this. You guys are mischaracterizing this. 244 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 2: This is a bill for the illegal immigrant children whose 245 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: parents are getting deported all over the place. By the way, 246 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: isn't that an interesting argument that it's enough ifing Gavin 247 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: Newsom said in the tweet that Trump's ice raids are 248 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 2: killing the economy and we have such a problem with 249 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 2: kids parents being deported that we need to protect them 250 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 2: in schools. Sounds to me like we've got a ton 251 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 2: of illegals that shouldn't be here. If deporting illegal immigrants 252 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 2: kills an entire economy, maybe our entire economy is based 253 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 2: on nothing, Truman, show anyone. They're admitting it left and right. 254 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 2: So apparently this is supposed to help those illegal those 255 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: poor illegal immigrant kids whose parents get carted off by 256 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: ice raiding the home depot in any given day. Listen 257 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: to me, It has nothing to do with that. This 258 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 2: bill has nothing to do with ice. This bill has 259 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: been in development for years. This is a bill about 260 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 2: gender ideology, because they have been trying to separate us 261 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 2: from our kids in the school for years now, in 262 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: public school, and that's what this bill will do. What 263 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 2: they want is for the alphabets can't create. They've sterilized themselves, right, 264 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: Their ideology is necessary sterilization. And I believe that's the 265 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: ultimate goal, which is to end the progenation of the 266 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: human rights. That's what I believe the ultimate evil goal is. 267 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 2: But I'm not going to take it to church right 268 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 2: now because this is a Tony show. Go sign up 269 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: for my substack if you want to hear more from 270 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: me on that they can't create anything. All they can 271 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 2: do is recruit. And where do you if you can't 272 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: create children, You've got to recruit children. And so our 273 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 2: public schools are recruiting grounds for moral degradation and evil. 274 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 2: And one of the things they need to do is 275 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 2: to make sure that the parent does not have any 276 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 2: say over their kids, because parents are the last wall 277 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 2: standing behind children in insanity, and they know that they 278 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 2: know that, they know that no one loves a child 279 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 2: more than their parents. So this bill is designed to 280 00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 2: separate the parents from the last place that they have 281 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 2: say over what happens to their family. You know, to 282 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 2: say no, that what happens to my child's mind and 283 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 2: body is not my own anymore. One adult can simply 284 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 2: go in and just sign an affidavit. Hey, I'm cool, 285 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 2: I'm good. Let me take your kid. Let me get 286 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 2: them a chest binder, Let's get them hormones, Let's get 287 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 2: them an abortion, ABE four ninety five. It's sitting in 288 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 2: Sacramento right now. Now, it's been tabled. It's been tabled. 289 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 2: It's in the suspended file, which means they're going to 290 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 2: put it away. It got so much heat right they. 291 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 2: I can't believe they really thought they were going to 292 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 2: do this without getting noticed. That's how the Dems pass 293 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: bills here. They got to do it without getting noticed 294 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 2: because once people notice are like, no, it's ridiculous. And 295 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 2: these people all know that they're on the bubble with 296 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 2: their elections. I don't care what they think they're going 297 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 2: to do with gerrymandering. They know they're in trouble, so 298 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 2: they put it in the suspended file, which means it's 299 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 2: going to sit there until we all forget about it, 300 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: and then they'll pull up back out. Because a bad 301 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 2: idea never goes away in a place like California, or 302 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 2: in a party like the Democratic Party, a bad idea 303 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:16,719 Speaker 2: never goes away. This is all part of the attempt 304 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 2: to separate us from our natural rights. I believe that. 305 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 2: I believe a lot of these decisions that we've seen 306 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 2: that have led to deeper consequences are a deep attempt 307 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 2: to separate us from our natural rights. We're going to 308 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 2: have the gay marriage discussion. I can't believe that either. 309 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 2: But guess what it's coming. We're going to relitigate that, 310 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 2: I think, and I think it's probably going to go down. 311 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 2: And that had a lot of deep consequences. It was 312 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 2: after overfoul that we got the trans stuff because it's 313 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 2: never enough. This is why the slippery slope is real. 314 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 2: This is why conservatives, Republicans, you have to be brave. 315 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 2: You have to be brave. You have to be intellectually 316 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 2: honest too. There's nothing there's no negative action. Nothing happens 317 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 2: in or there's no neutral action. Nothing happens in a vacuum. 318 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: We can use the power of our Constitution to advocate 319 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 2: for the greatest society on earth, or we can use 320 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: it to degrade it. All right, I've got another bill 321 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 2: you need to know about in California that's going to 322 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 2: kill homeschooling and charter schools. Yes, don't go anywhere. I'm 323 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 2: cure David's feeling it for Tony Kats. And this is 324 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 2: Tony Katz Today. Welcome back everybody too, Tony Kats Today, 325 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 2: moving right along with your guest's host, Kira David. So 326 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 2: I was talking a little bit about the same sex 327 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 2: marriage debate otherwise known as gay errand, and I was saying, look, 328 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 2: I think that it is not settled. I think everyone 329 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 2: needs to steal themselves that this is a cultural conversation 330 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 2: that is about to come back up. And there are 331 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 2: a couple of cases right now weaving their way through 332 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: the court system that are probably yes, going to make 333 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 2: it up to SCOTUS. 334 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: Uh. 335 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 2: And then there's another one that they just made a request. 336 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 2: So that's three. So but they made a formal request 337 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 2: to Scotus to take up that case. Now that doesn't 338 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 2: mean anything because they don't have to, but eventually a 339 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: case is going to get there, and it's going to 340 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: do the same thing that happened during Roe v. Rate Wade, right, 341 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: which is it's not about that that precedent, but it 342 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 2: will address that precedent. We're going to experience it. So 343 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 2: as I was looking in the break, I look at 344 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 2: this tweet, and it says uh. Gallup's new new Gallup poll, 345 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: released earl earlier this month reveals a Republican support for 346 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 2: same sex marriage has dropped fourteen points from its high 347 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 2: of fifty five twenty twenty two. There's little change among 348 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 2: Independents and Democrats. They're still at sixty eight percent overall. 349 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 2: But I do think that that Republican drop is significant, 350 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 2: and that goes back to what I was saying about 351 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: the Truman showing of America. And I don't think that 352 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: most people in this country are left or even center left, 353 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 2: so it is significant that Republicans have dropped their support. 354 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if it ever was really that high. 355 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 2: I think if you think about what was going on 356 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 2: during when the debate first came up, we defeated it 357 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 2: here in California, we defeated it. In California, we voted 358 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 2: against it. So if you look at what was going 359 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 2: on at the time, that was the Obama era. We 360 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,719 Speaker 2: were all being brainwashed into believing that the only way 361 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 2: to prove that we're not racist and seconds sexist and 362 00:21:55,080 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 2: bigots was to vote for Obama and support everything Democrats do. 363 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 2: And there was this huge shame campaign going on, and 364 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 2: we all fell prey to it in one way or another, 365 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 2: and those of us who weren't buying it, in order 366 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 2: to even have a voice in the public stage, we 367 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: had to present all of our arguments as you know, persuasion. 368 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:23,239 Speaker 2: We were getting canceled left and right and who it 369 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 2: was even getting difficult to tell the truth about it. 370 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 2: We were being told and there a lot of Republicans 371 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 2: bought it, a lot of conservatives bought into it. As 372 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 2: a conservative content creator, I have to say that there 373 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 2: is a purge that's going to need to calm in 374 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 2: this movement. We got excited about a lot of the 375 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 2: young people who were saying right wing things, but we 376 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 2: didn't understand a lot of those people are steeped in 377 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 2: progressive culture and they come to us with our progress, 378 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: with their progressive ideas, it's going to dilute the base. 379 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 2: So I do think there's going to be a purge 380 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 2: there too. I'm just I have no idea how it's 381 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 2: going to go down. I'm just saying that you need 382 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 2: to prepare yourself that this is coming, and we the 383 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 2: way we survived Roe v. Wade will survive this too. 384 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 2: But it will be another symbol of a the difference, 385 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 2: the differences in the types of Americans there are, and 386 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 2: be just how many of us are sick of the 387 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 2: progressive left, and we will continue to divide further red state, 388 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 2: blue state. But it's the blue states that are going 389 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 2: to become increasingly isolated. You know, I was watching this TikTok. 390 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 2: I was doom scrolling the other day. I was watching 391 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 2: this TikTok and it was some some bros on a podcast. 392 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 2: I don't know, it's just a funny little clip. One 393 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 2: of the guys, the Asian. They were talking about race 394 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 2: and the problem with white people, and the Asian guy 395 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 2: and the panel said, look, here's what I think we 396 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 2: should do. And they were being funny, but he said, 397 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 2: here's what I think we should do. We should take 398 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 2: all the white people and put them on an island 399 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 2: somewhere and like, fine, then do your white people stuff there, 400 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 2: like make society however you want it, run the government 401 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 2: however you want it, run trade and everything, do that 402 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 2: however you want it, and leave the rest of us alone. 403 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 2: And then the other guys who were white said, well, 404 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 2: the problem with that is is that very quickly that 405 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 2: would become the most successful society on the planet, and 406 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: then everybody would be trying to get in there and 407 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 2: complaining that the white people are hoarning all the good 408 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 2: stuff themselves. And I thought it was funny, but it's 409 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 2: kind of true. And that's what's going to happen, right 410 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 2: with these democrat these blue states that think, okay, fine, 411 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 2: we're happy to push out all of our red state 412 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 2: all of our red voters. We're happy about it. We're 413 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 2: going to isolate, We're going to create these bastions of paradise. 414 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 2: But as the red states get stronger, the blue states 415 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 2: get weaker. What's gonna happen is the American people are 416 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 2: gonna notice, just like they do now, just like people 417 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 2: who live in Los Angeles notice, they're not living the 418 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 2: same kind of life that the people they supposedly hate 419 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 2: in Oklahoma are. I'm telling you, folks, they're doing it 420 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 2: to themselves and they don't even see it. It is 421 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 2: both the best part and the worst part. It's the 422 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: best part because it's delightful to me that they are, 423 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 2: that they are clearly nowhere near doing what they need 424 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 2: to do to win. And I don't want them to win, 425 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 2: So I don't want them to get it, but is 426 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 2: it is also just sad and frustrating to watch too, 427 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 2: because while they are being this ignorant, real people are 428 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 2: suffering here in California. I told you I was gonna 429 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 2: tell you about this other bill AB eight four, Assembly 430 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 2: Bill eight So we had Assembly Bill four ninety five. 431 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 2: That's the bill that will allow any random adult to 432 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 2: sign an affidavit saying they can make medical decisions for 433 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 2: your child. That's a real bill. As I said, they 434 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 2: put that in the suspense folder on Friday, so we'll 435 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 2: see where it goes. I think they're just going to 436 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 2: let it sit there for a minute until we forget 437 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: about it. The other bill is AB eight four. This 438 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 2: is an anti charter school homeschool bill, as you can imagine, 439 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 2: as California has dove deeper and deeper into the gender 440 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 2: ideology curriculum, which now bleeds into every aspect of California curriculum. 441 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 2: Do you understand I was talking to a mom last 442 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 2: night and I was telling her. I think I offended her, 443 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 2: and I didn't mean to. I was selling her a look, 444 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 2: if you have a choice, don't put your kid in 445 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 2: public school. I know private school is unaffordable. For most people, 446 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 2: but find some alternatives because what is coming to your 447 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 2: small children is terrifying. You know, I was explained to 448 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 2: her and she said, well, you know, I have a 449 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 2: friend who just opts her kids out of the sex set. 450 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 2: I'm like, honey, it's not the sex set anymore. That's 451 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 2: only one thing. Every history lesson is gay history. Trans history. 452 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 2: There is such a thing. Every math problem, every math 453 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 2: word problem is about trans kids or gay kids. Your 454 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 2: English teacher has a pornographic gay library in her in 455 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 2: her classroom. There's no opting out of it because it 456 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 2: now permeates every aspect of California education. So as you 457 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 2: can imagine, the response to that has been, we're leaving 458 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 2: the schools in droves. Parents are COVID showed us we 459 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 2: actually can do other things. A lot of parents, particularly 460 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 2: in my area of Orange County, went into a pod system. 461 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 2: They're setting up their own homeschooling co ops. We have 462 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 2: a lot of stay at home parents here or parents 463 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 2: that work from home, so excuse me. They set up 464 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 2: their own own homeschool co ops, run them out of 465 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 2: their homes, their garagees. It's five or six neighborhood students 466 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 2: and they all share teaching duties. There's that, there's charter schools, 467 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 2: which are still public schools. They still fall under public 468 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 2: school legislation, but they are held to a higher standard, 469 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 2: and the charter schools have greater flexibility with curriculum and discipline. 470 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 2: So AB and then there's homeschooling. So AB eighty four 471 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 2: will remove the approval of charter school boards from local districts. 472 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 2: Right now, it's local education districts that control the approval 473 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 2: of charter schools. So for example, here in Orange County, 474 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 2: I have my district school board. Right there's many different 475 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 2: districts within Orange County. I've got my district school Board, 476 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 2: which consults with the County Board of Education. Then we 477 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 2: have the County Board of Education and they consult with 478 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: the County Board of Education on opening new charters, this, that, 479 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 2: and the other. It's a team effort. The County Board 480 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 2: of Education gives the charter school approvals in Orange County. 481 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 2: The County Board of Education is conservative, that is deliberate. 482 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 2: We launched a three year campaign to overturn that board 483 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 2: and we did it. That's what this bill is for. 484 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 2: Just like the jerrymandering bill is meant to cut up 485 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 2: Orange County. This AB eight four is meant to cut 486 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 2: up what we are doing here to combat the public 487 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 2: education system. So this bill will take the approval of 488 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 2: charter schools from the districts and put it in the 489 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 2: hands of Sacramento. And it will also close the loopholes 490 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 2: for homeschools because right now we don't have a homeschool 491 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 2: law in California. What you do is you apply to 492 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 2: be a homeschooler under charter law, you just apply as 493 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 2: an individual charter school. So as a mom when I 494 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 2: was homeschooling, I just made myself a charter school carea 495 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 2: Davis charter school. That's how you get around it. That's 496 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 2: the loophole they're closing it. That's the level of evil 497 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 2: we are fighting in this state every single day. It's 498 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 2: not just a jerryman. It's not just the gender ideology. 499 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 2: If it's not one thing, it's another. Please don't tell 500 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 2: me to leave. If I leave, this stuff takes over 501 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 2: the state, and who's stuff and who suffers? And when 502 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 2: does it come to you? It's already where you live, 503 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 2: isn't it. It already is You're already battling this in 504 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,959 Speaker 2: a place you never would have imagined having to battle 505 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 2: this kind of stuff, so we have to take it 506 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 2: seriously here too. All right, let's take another break. I'm 507 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 2: Cure Davis filling it for Tony Kats and this is 508 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 2: Tony Kats Today.

Excuse me, 524 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 2: the last American fighter ace from World War Two dies 525 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 2: at one hundred and three.

This month, 528 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 2: at the age of one hundred and three. McPherson served 529 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 2: as a naval aviator during the war, flying a Grumming 530 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 2: F six F Hellcat fighter over the Pacific theater. He 531 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 2: died on August fourteenth, according to his family, and a 532 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: funeral for McPherson took place on the nineteenth at his 533 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 2: hometown of Adams, Nebraska. Eight decades ago. In the skies 534 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 2: above the Pacific ensign, McPherson was part of Flying Squadron 535 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 2: eighty three. Over the course of just a month, he 536 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 2: scored five aerial kills, earning him ACE status. According to 537 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 2: the Fagans Fighter World War Two Museum and the American 538 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 2: Fighter Aces Association, he was the last living American pilot 539 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: from the war. He was born on May twenty fifth 540 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 2: in nineteen twenty two, and he enlisted in the US 541 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 2: Navy in January of nineteen forty three.

In nineteen forty four, 543 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 2: and then he shipped out to the Pacific Theater. He 544 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,239 Speaker 2: returned to Nebraska after the war and he worked as 545 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 2: a mail carrier. Donald's life was a harmonious blend of 546 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 2: hard work and passion, his obituary noted. According to his family, 547 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 2: McPherson did not talk about his wartime experiences. Instead, he 548 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 2: remained in his community in Nebraska, working with veterans organizations 549 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 2: and local groups, including coaching youth sports. He took up 550 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 2: the woodworking. He took up woodworking and fishing as hobbies 551 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 2: when not helping others. Excuse me, I'm getting a little 552 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 2: emotional because, first of all, thank you sir for your service, 553 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 2: and we are losing this piece. I mean necessarily, we can't. 554 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 2: We can't change the march of time. Obviously, we are 555 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 2: now in an era we are losing many of these heroes, 556 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 2: and we're losing the passion and experience and the knowledge 557 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 2: that came with them. So thank you Ensen McPherson for 558 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 2: your aace McPherson for your service. But also it just 559 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 2: as you know, we've spent the whole show talking about 560 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 2: all the ways that America has gone wrong and all 561 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 2: of the types of people who are here who shouldn't 562 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 2: be here, who hate our country and who are hurting 563 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 2: our country, and they're here living with us, and we 564 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 2: have to live next to them. It's easy to get 565 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 2: frustrated to say, you know, what's happened to our country, 566 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 2: but let us not forget that we are also the 567 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 2: country that produces great patriots like Donald McPherson, who not 568 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 2: only served his nation by going to war and killing 569 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 2: the enemy, but coming home and serving his fellow veterans 570 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 2: and his community and doing it quietly. You know, not 571 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 2: like Gavin News about everythinks he's changed in the world 572 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 2: by writing in all cabs and imitating the president. That's 573 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 2: not the America that I know and love. This is 574 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 2: the America I know and love, the Donald McPherson's of 575 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,479 Speaker 2: the world who went and did their duty and came 576 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 2: home and lived quietly and served their fellow Americans and 577 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 2: contributed to this nation because even though he must have 578 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 2: seen and done horrible things, he knew what that liberty 579 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 2: was worth fighting for and America was worth fighting for. 580 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 2: He knew that because that's how he grew up, and 581 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 2: that's how he was trained to believe that America is 582 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 2: the greatest country on Earth. And if we want more 583 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 2: Donald mcphersons in this country and leading this world, we 584 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 2: need to educate more great patriots. It starts in school 585 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,320 Speaker 2: and it ends at the White House. It's been a 586 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 2: pleasure to be with you.
