So the big news 40 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: lately here in California surrounds what CBS News and citizen 41 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: journalists Nick Shirley have uncovered, primarily in Los Angeles' San 42 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: Fernando Valley, where you had any number of hospice facilities 43 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: that were headquartered in one building. I guess there is 44 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: a checklist that is used to determine which ones are 45 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: fraudulent and which ones are not, and many of them 46 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: checked all of the fraudulent boxes. When Nick Shirley was there, 47 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: he was harassed by people who owned the building. I 48 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: guess the landlord telling him to get out of there, 49 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: stop recording. Certainly they don't want to be exposed if 50 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: there's fraud that's going on in that particular building, in 51 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: that particular neighborhood. And this is news that was not 52 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: just news here in California, but went national and international. 53 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: In response, California Governor Gavin Newsom and his press office 54 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: attacked Nick Shirley, essentially mocking him for showing up with 55 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: a bunch of cameras and asking for verification. It's odd 56 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: to me that given the fact that the state of 57 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: California is relatively broke, with our budget upside down. Certainly 58 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: we don't have money for our crumbling infrastructure. We don't 59 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: have money to complete the bullet Train, we don't have 60 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: money for any number of projects. You would think that 61 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: the governor of the state of California would welcome this 62 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: information and would want to root out waste fraud and 63 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: abuse so that money wouldn't be stolen from taxpayers and 64 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: could go to programs that are more worthy of the money. However, 65 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: his impulse was to attack the person who was exposing 66 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: the fraud instead of attacking the people who were committing 67 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: the fraud. What do you make of all that? 68 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 6: I think, as a taxpayer, as a Californian, as somebody 69 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 6: who has been in public office and running again, it 70 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 6: really is just, I mean, an absolute disgrace as to 71 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 6: how this missing in action governor and his so called 72 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 6: press corps have treated the very serious allegations and findings 73 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 6: of corruption in California. But the way that I look 74 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 6: at it is that his hands are dirty. I mean, 75 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 6: if you are upset that Nick Shirley, and thank God 76 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 6: for the independent journalism and the ethics and the research 77 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 6: of Nick Shirley, if he's finding this fraud and he's 78 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 6: not the only one there, or for them to attack 79 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 6: the person who has discovered the fraud, it means this 80 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 6: runs deep, and I think at the end of the day, 81 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 6: what it really means is that this governor is grifting 82 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 6: off the state of California. He's checked out, and he's 83 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 6: basically on his worldwide delusional campaign for the presidency. So 84 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 6: he really doesn't care, and that's the response. It's a 85 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 6: cover up. It's a giant cya. Unfortunately at our expense. 86 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: The focus of the Shirley investigation and the focus of 87 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: CBS News were the hospice facilities. But if you look 88 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: at other spending in California that has produced negligible results, 89 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: Let's take homeless services. Money that's been spent on these 90 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: homeless services organizations where you know that the people that 91 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: run them are politically connected. Frequently they go back and 92 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: forth from these organizations to elected government. We know that 93 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: Katie Hill, the former congresswomen from the Attel Valley, came 94 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: from that world. Nthia Rahman, the DSA councilwoman in Los 95 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: Angeles who's running for mayor against La Mayor Karen Bass, 96 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: came from these organizations. These organizations get a lot of 97 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: money coming from the state, coming from the federal government, 98 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: coming from the county, coming from the city, various layers, 99 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: and the problem just keeps getting worse. But it seems 100 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,679 Speaker 1: like the people who work there are doing just fine. 101 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: They're driving nice cars, they're living in nice homes, they 102 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: are filing nice w two's with the government now that 103 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: we're knocking on the door of tax day. That's not 104 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: what's supposed to happen. These organizations are supposed to make 105 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: the problem go away and not enrich themselves. Can you 106 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: imagine what we would find if there was some real 107 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: audit of how we spent our homeless money in the 108 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: state of California. I would imagine you'd find more waste, fraud, 109 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: and abuse than they did in Minnesota. 110 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 6: Oh, you're absolutely right, and I believe that's one of 111 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 6: the reasons why a very sensible bill that was sent 112 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 6: to the governor, bipartisan actually in the legislature, which is 113 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 6: quite rare these days, to conduct an audit of homelessness 114 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 6: spending and money that was vetoed by the governor of California. 115 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 6: So you know, we always say you follow the money. 116 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 6: What's interesting is that I've done a quick perusal looking 117 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 6: at the names of all the people running for office 118 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 6: in California, and I'm surprised if how many say nonprofit director, 119 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 6: or I'm a housing advocate, or I'm an anti poverty 120 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 6: nonprofit advocate. And honestly, I think the message that we've 121 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 6: learned today is anybody who is a so called advocate 122 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 6: or a so called nonprofit director. I think we should 123 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 6: be wary of them because of anything. These money that 124 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 6: are supposed to be going to leave and take care 125 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 6: of the people that with great compassion and care, the 126 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 6: voters of California have wanted to direct funds. Basically, the 127 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 6: money's been diverted into the pockets of these guys that 128 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 6: run the system, as well as invested into mansions and 129 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 6: fancy cars and worldwide trips and saunas, which the voters 130 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 6: never intended to happen. So it's a giant game and 131 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 6: sadly it is being discovered now. It's unfortunate that it's 132 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 6: not California. It's not the agency. The controller is asleep 133 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 6: at the wheel, the treasurer is asleep at the wheel. 134 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 6: All of the state constitutional officers and the super Party 135 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 6: in Sacramento appear to just be asleep at the wheel. Wink, wink, 136 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 6: not nod, look the other way because they have to 137 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 6: know what is going on. 138 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: You are running for a lieutenant governor on the same 139 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: ticket as Steve Hilton, who is a guy who comes 140 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: from Silicon Valley. There are any number of individuals in 141 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley who support you, who support Steve Hilton, both 142 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: financially and politically. They are behind your campaigns, and it's 143 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: always been I guess a question to me as to 144 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: why here in the state of California, where we are 145 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: the home to Silicon Valley, we do not have a 146 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 1: computer system that will allow the state to easily determine 147 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: which business license requests are fraudulent, which EDD requests are fraudulent, 148 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: and make sure how we get the money and the 149 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: licenses to the people who truly deserve them, as opposed 150 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: to the criminals who are looking to exploit the system. 151 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: Because whenever one of these stories makes the news, the 152 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: answer was, well, we have a really old computer system 153 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: that didn't catch all of the ways the fraud, the abuse, 154 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: the lies that were put in there. And Shirley Weber, 155 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: who is the California Secretary of State, in the CBS 156 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: news piece that talked about the hospices because she was 157 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: the one that gave them the business licenses, said that 158 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: it's not on her to verify the information that they 159 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: provide to her, so stop asking questions to her. Yet, 160 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: whenever I go to the dermatologist for an appointment, I 161 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: feel like I have to fil to take the SATs 162 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: where you just fill out form after form after form 163 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: after form. How is it that the dermatologist can verify 164 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: more information electronically than the State of California when Silicon 165 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: Valley is in our shadow. 166 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 6: You're exactly right. And it's been a long time on 167 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 6: many issues. You know, I last left Sacramento in twenty ten, 168 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 6: and at that point there was a big you know, 169 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 6: that crisis at that point was the lack of a 170 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 6: computer system within the department and motor vehicles. Well, it's 171 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 6: only gotten worse. But I think ultimately it's not even 172 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 6: about the technology, although it is so ironic the heart 173 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 6: of Silicon Valley and here we have these antiquated, allegedly 174 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,599 Speaker 6: systems that nobody wants to fix. But he really is 175 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 6: not the character I mean individuals in these positions who 176 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 6: should take a responsibility and the accountability and the interest. 177 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 6: I mean, I think exhibit number one is actually the 178 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 6: insurance commissioner. I'm not even going to say his name, 179 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 6: but he's running around the world, he's collecting money, he's 180 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 6: going to all these places. In the meantime, most of 181 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 6: the state of California has burned down. Insurance companies are leaving. 182 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 6: The two victims of the fire cannot get insurance even 183 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 6: they can't get their their properties if they're still standing, 184 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 6: even fixed. So I go back to that to take 185 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 6: a look at It's almost as though we need to 186 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 6: have a character tist in order to get on the 187 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 6: ballot in the first place. But I think that it's 188 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 6: so maddening when you start digging away and seeing how 189 00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 6: invested in fraud, waste and abuse generational. This has occurred 190 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 6: in California, and you know, like when you go someplace. 191 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 6: Oftentimes I will go to, like say, maybe a furniture store, 192 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 6: and I want to make it normally a bigger than 193 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 6: usual purchase. So I go there. What do I get 194 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 6: on my phone right away? A text message from my 195 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 6: credit card? Is this really you? You know? Are you 196 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 6: buying this? Is this fraud? Well? I think, well, then 197 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 6: if I can get it on my little text message 198 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 6: and my furniture purchase is not that big, that's overall. 199 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 6: Why can't we have an alert system, something more systemic 200 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 6: whereby we can follow the money and suspicious purchases or 201 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 6: just make it transparent. Part of the Golden ticket is 202 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 6: Herb Morgan as well, who's running with our team. He's 203 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 6: running in the controller position, and he talks about having 204 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 6: radical transparency that Steve Hillson and I have endorsed as well, 205 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 6: so that we can basically, like you know, when you 206 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 6: go online, you can see exactly right away the posting 207 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 6: of a bill, and if we're interested in it, or 208 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 6: curious about it or skeptical of it, we can follow 209 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 6: that purchase, follow that money. We should be able to 210 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 6: do it. It's you know, it's we are in the 211 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 6: heart of Silicon Valley. But if there's no will, if 212 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 6: there's no interest, if there's still CYA, if there still 213 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 6: is an understanding that it's been a giant gain and 214 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 6: the taxpayer is the one that's being fooled, we're going 215 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 6: to continue to basically say, oh, we don't know where 216 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 6: the money is, and Bill's trying to just do an 217 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 6: audit of where the money went. Are being detoed by 218 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 6: a gristine governor. 219 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: Why do you think there's no offense that's being taken 220 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: at this money being stolen? Because if your car were 221 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: to be stolen, you'd be pissed. If my car were 222 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: to be stolen, I'd be pissed. And billions of dollars 223 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: are being stolen from the state of California, and the 224 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: people who are in charge of spending your money don't 225 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: seem to care at all. 226 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 6: Well, I think that again to who is really angry 227 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 6: about this? You know, Steve and I on the Golden 228 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 6: Ticket have been doing town halls up and down the 229 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,239 Speaker 6: state of California, and people are angry. But the best revenge, 230 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 6: the best action, is really then let's go out and vote. 231 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 6: Let's make it too big to rig. We have to 232 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 6: use our voices. We basically have to save ourselves because 233 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 6: those in power right now are not going to change 234 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 6: the system. It has worked for them. And then you 235 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 6: take a look at, for example, the homeless agency, and 236 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 6: we're learning more about the hospice industry. It's basically becomes 237 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 6: this cycle where it appears that you know, money is 238 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 6: shifted from the government, or not the government, it's the people, 239 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 6: it's we the people where it's the money's been shifted from. 240 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 6: And then it get it gets banked into one of 241 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 6: these alleged nonprofits, and then the money gets siphoned off 242 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 6: and lo and behold, where does it show up? Probably 243 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 6: into the pockets and the campaign coppers of too many 244 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 6: politicians within the system who are part of the game, 245 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 6: and so they're the ones who are are not happy 246 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 6: because the boat hasn't been rocked. But I think with 247 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 6: the rise of social media, and really I give a 248 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 6: lot of credit to Elon Musk in the purchase of 249 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 6: Twitter now X, because imagine if we didn't have that, 250 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 6: I think we'd still be in the dark. We would 251 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 6: be unaware because the legacy media, not you. Of course 252 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 6: you've been fabulous over all these years, but the traditional 253 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 6: legacy media, they haven't exactly been doing hard hitting investigative journalism. 254 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 6: You know, there are some really good reporters like Ashley 255 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 6: Zavalla in Sacramento, but she's a rare person who actually 256 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 6: will follow and ask questions and not let them get 257 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 6: away with it. But I think for too often Sacramento 258 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 6: has been shrouded in silence. People don't really watch a 259 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 6: lot of news publications are also slipping away, so there's 260 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 6: not as much attention on what comes out of Sacramento. 261 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 6: So whenever you allow for power work to access money 262 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 6: and use money in the dark, there's going to be corruption. 263 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 6: So that's why Steve and I say this year twenty 264 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 6: twenty six. It's the golden opportunity to shine the brightest light, 265 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 6: aided by everything we've learned and seen, and to basically 266 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 6: blow this place open and reveal the truth. And the 267 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 6: best way to deal with being unhappy and dissatisfied is 268 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 6: to go out and use our vote to throw the 269 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 6: bums and the gristers and the cheaters out of office 270 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 6: once and for all. 271 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: I keep telling people that if you complain about something 272 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: and you post about it on social media and you're 273 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: upset at how dirty your city is or how many 274 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: homeless people are living on the streets or the crime 275 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: in your neighborhood, that's not good enough. You can complain 276 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: about it until you're blue in the face, unlessen, until 277 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: you start voting differently, nothing is going. 278 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 6: To change exactly. That's it I mean. And you know, 279 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 6: I was a Democrat for a long time, and I 280 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 6: kept fighting, especially on school reform, transitioning our schools, making 281 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 6: sure that we get a charter schools, an independent you know, 282 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 6: homeschool and look at reforms. And essentially I just got 283 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 6: drummed out of the party and finally I left. As 284 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 6: we say, I didn't leave the party, the party left me. 285 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 6: I finally realized I can try all the reforms, but 286 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 6: there is a bigger power that's blocking any type of 287 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 6: looking out for for kids trapped in a failing I 288 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 6: don't even call it a public education system, it's a 289 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 6: public works system because basically it's more about the adults 290 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 6: in the system and pensions and perks and privileges rather 291 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 6: than just getting basic literacy and proficiency and reading and 292 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 6: mathematics that we don't see. Mississippi has advanced over California, 293 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 6: So you're exactly right. I think there really needs to be, 294 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 6: you know, a people's revolt. We've got to stand up. 295 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 6: We have a you know, a constitutional republic, so called democracy. 296 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 6: It's our opportunity to go out and vote, and if 297 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 6: we don't, it's just basically allowing those who do to 298 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 6: continue the system. So we can't complain. Roll up, oursleeves, 299 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 6: do the best we can against very strong odds. But 300 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 6: I think this year there are so many people, and 301 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 6: not just Republicans and Independents, but Democrats as well, who 302 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,719 Speaker 6: are just sick and tired. I mean, this party doesn't 303 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,959 Speaker 6: represent you know, the average Joe or Joan anymore, and 304 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 6: so we have an opportunity, and I think we have 305 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 6: to use it. We have to try. 306 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: Gloria Romero, former majority leader in the California Senate, current 307 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: candidate for Lieutenant governor here in the Golden State.
