1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,840 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 2: I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel 3 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 2: Podcast on the iHeartRadio app, run every day one until 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 2: four after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on 5 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 2: the iHeart app Deva. I got one more piece of 6 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 2: information regarding how much money we spent on homelessness versus 7 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 2: the fire department. In the last segment, I will looked 8 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 2: on chet Gpt. That's your new best friend. That is 9 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 2: my new That's why I call him mister. I've got 10 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: to come up with a more friendly name than that. 11 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: But mister chet Gpt informed me that as of just 12 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: two years ago in Los Angeles, we spent a billion 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 2: three on homelessness and only eight hundred million on the 14 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: fire department. All right, and now you have the fire 15 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: department union proposing a new half cent sales tax and 16 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 2: they want to referend him on the ballot. So I 17 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 2: I went to chet Gpt and asked him another question. 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: How much money did the City laws Angela's spend on 19 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: homelessness in nineteen sixty five, Because we had the same 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: amount of firefighters on the same amount of fire stations 21 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: in sixty five as we do sixty years later. Nothing. 22 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: There was nothing in the budget. Presumably some of the 23 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: homeless people access public's assistance programs, but there was no 24 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: line item, there was no agency, there were no employees, 25 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: there was no nothing. That's crazy. Yeah, you went to 26 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 2: the local church of the local soup kitchen. 27 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 3: You know what, I'd like you to ask Chad GBT. 28 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 3: Maybe after the homeless count is over. I'd love to 29 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: see what the homeless count numbers are. And then I 30 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 3: want you to ask Chad GBT and I want to 31 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 3: see if they're the same. 32 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: Well. Yeah, well that's why the Rand Corporation is important 33 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: because they did their own count and it was forty 34 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 2: percent more right than Karen Bass said. All right, let's 35 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 2: go on to Susan Shelley. Susan Shelley is with the 36 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: Harvard How We're Jarvis Taxpayers Association. I just got to 37 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 2: calm down, and also writes the newspaper columns for the 38 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: Southern California Newsgroup. She's also posts a lot of stuff 39 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: online on social media. And she's going to talk about 40 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: this petition that you can sign to get on the ballot, 41 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: a referendum that's going to restore the strength of Prop 42 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: thirteen because some courts have weakened it considerably, Susan, how 43 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 2: are you. 44 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: I'm good, John, Thanks so much for having me. 45 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: So what have the courts done? If you could describe 46 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 2: it simply and then explain what this referendum proposed would 47 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: do about it. 48 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: Well, you know that tax you were just talking about, 49 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: the firefighters union going out for a ballot measure to 50 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: raise the sales tax. That's an example of a tax 51 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: that if the city council put it on the ballot, 52 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 1: it will require a two thirds vote because it's a 53 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: taxi increase for a specified purpose, and the constitution says 54 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: those need a two thirds vote. Loophole is that the 55 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: courts have said if it's a citizen's initiative tax increase, 56 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: the constitution doesn't apply. So it only needs a simple majority. 57 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: So the identical tax, word for word, the identical tax 58 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: measure on the ballot proposed by the city council needs 59 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: sixty six point seven percent approval to pass. But the 60 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: firefighters collecting signatures fifty percent plus one vote. And that's 61 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: the loophole we want to close. 62 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: And that's how politicians get these things passed. They deputize 63 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: these civic groups to do the dirty work exactly. 64 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: And this has been going on since about twenty seventeen. 65 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: It was a case called California Cannabis Coalition versus City 66 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: of Upland, and it sort of had ambiguous language. Didn't 67 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: exactly say that the Constitution said this, because it doesn't. 68 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: But they created this ambiguity, and then the appellate court said, yes, 69 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court says the Constitution doesn't apply. So the 70 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: homelessness sales tax in November of twenty twenty four that 71 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: passed with fifty seven point seven percent. 72 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 4: Of the vote. 73 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: It should have needed sixty six point seven percent of 74 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: the vote, but because it was put on the ballot 75 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: by quote citizens, it passed with a simple majority, and 76 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: the sales tax went up by half a percent. Now, 77 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: who are these citizens who are standing there to collect 78 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: signatures to raise their own taxes. 79 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 4: They're the groups that are going. 80 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: To get the money. They're writing their own tax increases, 81 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: they're directing all the money to themselves. They're collecting signatures, 82 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: they're putting it on the ballot, and they don't have 83 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: to meet the two thirds. So our initiative from Howard 84 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: Jarvis would say two thirds means two thirds, no matter 85 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: how it gets on the ballot. We're going to close 86 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: that loophole, all right. 87 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 2: Saveprop thirteen dot com.

They are holding public meetings. You'll love this. 106 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: On the draft Environmental Impact Report of the leg of 107 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: the Bullet Train that goes from Los Angeles to Anaheim. 108 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: Here there is no leg of the bullet trains that 109 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: goes from Los Angeles to Anaheim. But if you go 110 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: to the website HSR dot CA dot gov for high 111 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: speed rail, you can see that there are ninety eight 112 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: separate chapters of this thing, this environmental impact report, ninety 113 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: eight separate PDF files, and another seventeen that are available 114 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: by request, all looking at the water, the soil, the 115 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: cultural heritage, things that might be disturbed by the vibration 116 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: of the train.

It's exactly as if you bought a lottery 121 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: ticket and you were legally required to pay for an 122 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: environmental impact report on the house and the plane that 123 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna buy if you win. It's kind of a 124 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: waste of money, and that's what they're doing. 125 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: They have done zero work between la and Anaheim in 126 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: eighteen years. Absolutely nothing correct correct. 127 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: There isn't gonna be any train, there's no money and 128 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: there's no train. 129 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 4: But they're holding hearing Pact report. 130 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: All right, let's say I go to the hearing. What 131 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: am I supposed to say? 132 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: Well, they I went to one of these when they 133 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: were talking about going through Santa Clarita. So I went 134 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: to one of these meetings and they had it managed 135 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: very carefully. You could not ask questions where everyone else 136 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: could hear them, like in a big auditorium. First you 137 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: could ask questions one at a time of the different 138 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: people at the stations. It was like a buffet of information. 139 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: You could go around and you could ask your questions, 140 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: but no one could hear the answer. And when they 141 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: had their presentation in the big auditorium, no one was 142 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: allowed to ask questions. They have this managed within an 143 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: inch of its life to keep people from finding out 144 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: what's going on. 145 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 2: So it's a series of private conversations. 146 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: Right, and they'll answer all your questions, all your questions 147 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: about whether they're going to have a stop or they're 148 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: not going to have a stop, or how many they have. 149 00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 2: The imaginary train stations for the imaginary rail line. 150 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: That's what they did in the Environmental in Tech report. 151 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: They gamed out where the imaginary stations would be if 152 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: they ever get the money to build this, which they won't. 153 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 2: Oh aren't they looking for private investors? 154 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: Oh, they've been looking for private investors. This is another scamp. 155 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: I once followed up with their media people. I said, 156 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: what do you mean you have private investors? And they 157 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: gave me material. 158 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 4: I said, oh, we have private investors. 159 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: It was a bunch of people asking for contracts. They 160 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: wanted the contract to sell people the trains and the 161 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 1: track and the electrical They had no investors. They had 162 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: customers who wanted to be contractors. 163 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 2: Because I read the other day they had a press release, 164 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: well because because Trump took away billions of dollars and 165 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: Knuseman Bonta sued and then mysteriously dropped the lawsuit. And 166 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 2: their excuse was, well, we're getting private investors who you've 167 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 2: been trying to sell this dog for thirty years. You 168 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: never got one private investor. 169 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: You know, when you when you file a lawsuit, there's 170 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: a process called discovery where the other side is entitled 171 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: to get a bunch of documents and testimony under oath. 172 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: I don't think they wanted to go through that. 173 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 2: Hey, I heard somebody in the know wrote me a 174 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: rumor that Newsom is pulled out from the lawsuit because 175 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: he's going to drop a bomb sometime this year to 176 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: benefit his presidential campaign and pull out a high speed rail, 177 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 2: and that I don't know. I'm telling you that somebody 178 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 2: who's hung politically on the inside in Washington said watch 179 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: for this, and I repeated it on the air as 180 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 2: this rumor I heard, and then I heard that there 181 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 2: was certain people in Sacramento. They got very upset. So 182 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 2: that's why I thought i'd repeat it now to upset 183 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: them again. 184 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: I once to ask some lawmakers in an editorial board meetings, 185 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: why don't you just go for the low hang fruit 186 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: on the budget and and the bullet train. And they 187 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: looked at me and they said, that is not low 188 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: hanging fruit. So if the bullet train has its supporters 189 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: in and they're very. 190 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 2: POWERICI sure are the people who received the money. Well, 191 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 2: thank you very much, Susan, Thank you for coming on. 192 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: Great to be with you. 193 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 2: Thank you all right, Susan. Shelley Howard Jarvis, Taxpayers Association 194 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: and newspaper columnist. 195 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 196 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 5: six forty. 197 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 2: Carlo Mayo is going to come on, we continue our 198 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 2: theme of excessive taxation. There is another tax coming out 199 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 2: of Sacramento that's been proposed, and this would this would 200 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: be a vehicle mileage tax. This thing comes up. This 201 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 2: is like a bad flu of bad disease that circulates 202 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 2: every few years. This is like the COVID of fiscal 203 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: policy in California. Stupid mileage tax. Mileage tax. You drive 204 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: your your gas. Taxes make gas about four point twenty 205 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 2: nine a gallon is the last time I paid. And 206 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: around the country gas is down to about an average 207 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 2: of two eighty and we're paid for twenty and that's 208 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 2: all taxes. And now on top of that they want 209 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: a mileage tax. Carl DeMaio is going to explain coming 210 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 2: up in moments here on KF five, I also talked 211 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: about the La Fire Department to union proposing a sales 212 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 2: tax increase half a percent in La City and that 213 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 2: would bring the total sales tax to ten and a quarter. 214 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: Because we spend over a billion dollars on almost nonprofits 215 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 2: mostly and only eight hundred million on the fire department. 216 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 2: And that is, we've told you a huge scam. It's 217 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 2: nothing but criminal stealing money and this is now clearly, 218 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 2: it's this is all over the country. You had the 219 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 2: Somali nonprofit scandal, daycare and providing meals to non exist 220 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 2: in children. You have the climate change scandal that was 221 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: financed by Washington, and now you have the immigration nonprofit scandal. 222 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 2: The New York Post had two prosecutors write a column, 223 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: Andrew Chaitarski, I'm sorry, Andrew Tchaikarski and Katie Tcherikowski. I'm sorry. 224 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 2: I'm watching their names. Andrew Tchikowski and Katie Tcherikowski. I 225 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 2: don't know if their husband and wife are brother and sister, 226 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 2: but they're both military veterans, former federal prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, Okay, 227 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: And they've written a piece, and this lays out what's 228 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 2: going on in Minneapolis right now based on their knowledge, 229 00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 2: and it's about these fake non groups. One of them 230 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 2: is called Defend the six twelve. I guess that's the 231 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: area code up there. It's a group funded by progressive 232 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 2: non profits. They raise money, train participants, and synchronize their 233 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 2: tactics and when elected officials make false claims while aligned 234 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: with these activist groups to provoke obstruction of federal law. 235 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: What you're talking about here, according to the Tchaikowskis, is conspiracy, 236 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 2: criminal conspiracy. What I said before, immigration law is federal 237 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: law under the Constitution's supremacy clause. No city governor or 238 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 2: local official has the authority to nullify immigration law. And 239 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 2: so what happens is they make sure these nonprofit groups 240 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 2: are funded, and the nonprofit groups go out and start screening, 241 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: and it's synchronized, it's choreographed, it's paid for, and they 242 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 2: write that no country in history has ever functioned without 243 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 2: border enforcement. It is the bare minimum of governments of governance. Now, 244 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: what these people are doing is they go to training classes, 245 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 2: they're paid money, and then they go out and perform. 246 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: There's a group called Indivisible Twin Cities, which gets financed 247 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 2: by the billionaire George Soros i mentioned defend the Six twelve. 248 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 2: So they raise the money, they train the participants, they 249 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 2: synchronize themselves in their tactics. You hear the whistles going off, 250 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 2: and everybody starts screaming, especially when the cameras are on, 251 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: and then one of the Fox reporters say, all of 252 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 2: a sudden, everything stops at the same time. Maybe they're 253 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 2: on a timer. Maybe there's a hand signal, maybe there's 254 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: whistles going off, but everybody starts, everybody stops. Everybody starts, 255 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 2: everybody stops. They've all been trained. Renee Good, the one 256 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 2: who tried to kill the ice officer and got killed herself, 257 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 2: she was professionally trained. This is not a citizen uprising. 258 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: It's absolutely not a citizen up These are groups that 259 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 2: are designed to undermine the law, the enforcement of law, 260 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 2: and our day to day life, and they should be 261 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: covered that way. They should be described that way. Don't 262 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: tell me a crowd of a thousand Minneapolis residents protesting 263 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 2: presidents know what they're doing is they're trying to undermine 264 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: our way of life. There is no controversy about immigration law. 265 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 2: This has all been on the books for decades, if 266 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 2: not centuries. Every country practices it, so did we, and 267 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 2: up until now, every iministration of every party enforced immigration law. 268 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: This is total manufactured theater, and every media outlet should 269 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 2: be reporting it that way because that's those are the facts, 270 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: and that is the truth. All Right, we come back 271 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 2: Carl Demile with the latest atrocity out of Sacramento. A 272 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 2: road usage charge, a mileage tax if you drive on 273 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: the road, you get taxed by the mile. This stupid 274 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 2: idea is back, is back. They don't have enough tax 275 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: money four to twenty nine a gallon. Rest of the country, ever, 276 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 2: averaging two to eighty. We need more taxes. Here tell 277 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 2: you about it. 278 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI Am 279 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 5: six forty. 280 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 2: We're live on the iHeartRadio app and the podcast is 281 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: released after four o'clock every day, so whatever you miss 282 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 2: you can hear it on the iHeart app. It's called 283 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 2: on Cole Belt's Show on Demand. Uh, we're going to 284 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: talk now with Carl Demyo. Carl Demayo is gonna tell 285 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 2: us about another another tax coming, the road, mileage tax. 286 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: I told you about how you know we pay about 287 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 2: a dollar fifty extra in gas prices compared to the 288 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 2: rest of the country because there's a dollar fifty extra 289 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 2: of tax money. In fact, we pay two bucks more 290 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 2: than some states. I just looked at Triple A Triple 291 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 2: A dot com as a state by state list, and 292 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 2: we're paying four to twenty one a gallon in California 293 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 2: and Oklahoma's paying two thirty two. The average is two 294 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 2: eighty four. Get this forty three states, forty three of 295 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 2: them are paying less than three dollars a gallon, and 296 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 2: we're paying four to twenty one. And now they have 297 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 2: a mileage tax to add to the mess. Carl Demaiyo, 298 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 2: how are you? 299 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 4: Oh, it's like playing whack a mole here, John. Every 300 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 4: time you turn around, you think you stop them from 301 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 4: getting money from the taxpayers, and up pops another tax 302 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 4: raising liberal with another scheme. So you know, everyone's focusing 303 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 4: on this billionaire's tax. But I'll tell you right now, 304 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 4: I don't think the billionaires tax is going to happen 305 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 4: because Democrats, well they like to trash billionaires. They also 306 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 4: like getting campaign contributions from billionaires, so what they always 307 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 4: default to is taxing the little guy. That's why what 308 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 4: you're seeing are the sales taxes, the gas taxes, the 309 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 4: car tax is going up. And now they've got this 310 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,719 Speaker 4: new scheme called the mileage tax. And let me tell 311 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 4: you where this mileage tax is coming from. You know, 312 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 4: it hits so many of the liberal politicians' sweet spots. First, 313 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 4: you know, they hate cars, so anything to make it 314 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 4: more expensive to drive your car they are all in for. 315 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 4: So a mileage tax is like a punishment for driving around. 316 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 4: But secondly, they love your money, and they see that 317 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 4: a lot of people are going to electric vehicles. Not 318 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 4: so much anymore, but at least there's a certain percentage, 319 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 4: like twenty percent. And you also have more gas efficient cars, 320 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 4: and so they're worried that cars are becoming more environmentally efficient. 321 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 4: Less gas means potentially down the road, less money, and 322 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 4: they just want your money. So what we've seen statewide 323 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 4: since twenty seventeen is the California State Bureaucracy has been 324 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 4: researching how do we create a mileage tax? And then 325 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 4: Biden came in in twenty twenty two and imposed a 326 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 4: requirement on all automotive manufacturers to have technologies to track mileage, 327 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 4: and people were wondering, well, why is he doing this? Aha, 328 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 4: And now comes New York with a congestion tax, you know, 329 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 4: a fee for people to drive in New York City. 330 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 4: But in California, they literally are looking at a mileage 331 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 4: tax of six to nine cents per per mile wo 332 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 4: to about nine hundred bucks. Nine hundred bucks for the 333 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 4: average driver who does fifteen thousand miles a year. 334 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 2: That's a lot. 335 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 4: On top of gas tax and car tax. 336 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 2: I'm all choked up. That's so outrageous. 337 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 4: And they're looking at it in two ways. One way 338 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 4: they're looking at it is statewide, So there's an Assembly 339 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 4: bill that's been offered that we were able to kill 340 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 4: last year, but it's now back again a mileage tax statewide. 341 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 4: And then the second way they're doing it is locally. 342 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 4: In San Diego, they actually adopted a mileage tax in 343 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 4: twenty twenty two and they were going to phase it in. 344 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 4: We were able to do a recall of the politician 345 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 4: who made the motion, and then suddenly the politicians in 346 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 4: San Diego in twenty twenty three reversed themselves. But I've 347 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 4: been watching regional transportation boards up and down the state 348 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 4: of California start having studies and discussions at their board 349 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 4: to study on mileage taxes. So it's coming locally or 350 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 4: it's going to come statewide. It's coming. 351 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 2: This This idea has been around for years, and they 352 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 2: just keep trying, and. 353 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 4: The Dalla's game getting a lot more traction with this 354 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 4: state Assembly bill that literally just last week was reintroduced, 355 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 4: and the backer of that bill is out there once 356 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 4: again trying to canvass the Assembly floor for votes. 357 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 2: How would they track this, How would they keep track 358 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 2: of your miles? 359 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 4: Well, that's well, that's what the Biden Bill comes in. 360 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 4: Biden is part of this big you know bill that 361 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 4: he did in twenty twenty two, you know, the whole 362 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 4: you know, build back better, this infrastructure, Climate Change, Infrastructure bill, 363 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 4: a trillion dollars of spending. A provision of that bill 364 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 4: put money into the Department of Transportation to start studying 365 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 4: mileage taxes. But another provision of that bill put a 366 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 4: mandate on all auto manufacturers that, as of January first, 367 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 4: twenty twenty four, last year, every car that they produce 368 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 4: and sell has to have the technology capable of reporting 369 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 4: to the government how much mileage the car has at 370 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 4: any given time, automatically, electronically, electronically. And people were wondering, well, 371 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 4: why are they requiring this, And sure enough, it's all 372 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 4: about their money grubbing scheme on the Democrat side of 373 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 4: the platform to get your your mileage so they can 374 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 4: tax you, bastards. 375 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 2: So the car is going to be spying on you 376 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 2: as you're driving and send mileage reports back to the 377 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 2: government so they could send you a tax bill exactly. 378 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 4: And by the way, in San Diego. One of the 379 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 4: big questions was how are we going to track mileage? 380 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 4: And this was you know, as they were lobbying the 381 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 4: Biden administration to include this language and the bill. They 382 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 4: also said, well, for older cars, we already require small checks, 383 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 4: so we're going to require that they pull in their 384 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 4: vehicle once a year and you have to pay. Well, 385 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 4: can you imagine getting slapped with a nine hundred dollars 386 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 4: bill every year and have the inconvenience of having to 387 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 4: drive your car into a station and get the mileage checked. 388 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 2: You have to wait, you have to drive in to 389 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 2: get your tax bill. Basically, it's right, you pay. 390 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 4: Your taxes on the mileage as you're driving in to 391 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 4: have your damn mileage checked. And for all the liberals 392 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 4: out there saying, well, Carl left vehicle. People have to 393 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 4: pay their fair share for what. It's not like they're 394 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 4: going to fix the roads in any way. They don't 395 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 4: spend the gas tax on the roads. 396 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 2: No, they don't. And pothole seasons in full bloom in La. 397 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. 398 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 2: I heard a traffic report and KFI the other morning, 399 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,479 Speaker 2: I think it was Saturday morning, and I heard that 400 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 2: there were four cars on the four five South in 401 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 2: the South Bay. Four cars off to the side of 402 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 2: the road. They all hit the same hot pothole. They 403 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 2: all blew out a tire. 404 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, and if you try to, you know, claim damages 405 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 4: the city and the county. They say, oh, well, you know, 406 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 4: just comes with the territory. It's not our fault. Well, 407 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 4: it is your fault because you don't maintain the roads. 408 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 4: They're completely falling apart. 409 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 2: How do we stop this? This is really good, it is. 410 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 4: You got to do what we did in San Diego, 411 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 4: where when they passed this thing, people were shocked, and 412 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 4: I said, well, don't just sit there and be shocked, 413 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 4: do something about it. So we literally pulled papers within 414 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 4: a week against the person who made the motion, and 415 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 4: we drove her out of office. And we made it 416 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 4: about that singular motion that she made. We called her 417 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 4: kooky Corey Corey Schumacher. Now she works for the labor union, 418 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 4: she's a proto classicist, but we took her out of office. 419 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 4: And even Democrats voted for the recall supported the recall 420 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 4: because they see how unfair this tax is. Latino voters 421 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 4: hate the mileage tax. We've done polling and every single 422 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 4: category of voters are opposed to this, so I think 423 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 4: this is going and then the Democrats. I'm going to 424 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 4: be talking about this in my podcast at five o'clock 425 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 4: today because I got my hands on the polling of 426 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 4: the California Democrat Party and they tested a poll question 427 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 4: on the mileage tax in December. The first week of December, 428 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 4: they did a statewide poll with nearly two thousand surveys 429 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 4: and one of the questions was would you before a 430 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 4: mileage tax? And of course, even in the Democrats own polling, 431 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 4: it shows that this is not a very popular idea. 432 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 4: Even though the poll was very biased in favor of 433 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 4: the proposal, voters smelled through the crap and said, no, 434 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 4: we don't want it. 435 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 2: Could you send that over to Rank because I'd love 436 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 2: to look at that polling. 437 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely absolutely, and I'll be talking about it tonight 438 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 4: at five o'clock on my Reform California podcast. 439 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 2: All right, very good, Carl, because I really want to 440 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 2: stop this one. I I just I'm obsessed with looking 441 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 2: at gas prices around the country almost every day. I look. 442 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 2: All right, Carl, thanks for coming on, and send that 443 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 2: over to Ray because I want to see that.

Yeah, once again, 445 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 2: if you're just tuning in, forty three states are under 446 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 2: three bucks a gallon. Oklahoma is all the way down 447 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 2: to two thirty two. The national average is two eighty four. 448 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 2: We're paying four twenty one. Forty three states under three dollars, 449 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,719 Speaker 2: and we're at four to twenty one, not three twenty one, 450 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 2: four twenty one, and now they want a mileage tax. 451 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 5: No, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI 452 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 5: AM six forty. 453 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 2: And we're gonna release the podcast coming up shortly after 454 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart 455 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 2: app and our number one we had Bill a Sale on. 456 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 2: We played audio of County Supervisor Lindsay Horvath going on 457 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 2: Good Day LA on Fox eleven, and she had this 458 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 2: idea that I think she has a motion that would 459 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 2: bar Ice from using county property for staging purposes, and 460 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 2: that she wants La County Sheriff's deputies to arrest Ice 461 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 2: agents if they're breaking the law, which of course would 462 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 2: never happen, but this is what she's trying to sell. 463 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 2: And Bill Saley came on and he's the first assistant 464 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 2: to US Attorney for the Central District here in Los Angeles, 465 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 2: and he came on and pointed out something like the 466 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 2: Constitution Article one, Article two, and the supremacy Clause that 467 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 2: the federal government their laws, they rule supreme over state 468 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 2: and local law.

I tell you what to do. I have 483 00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 2: no authority, it's just my feeling. And this crowd also 484 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 2: wants to abolish ice. It was a story in the 485 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 2: New York Times today that Democrats running for Congress are 486 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 2: now some of them are on the abolish ice bandwagon. 487 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 2: These are from the people who brought you defund the police, 488 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 2: which torpedo the Democratic Party, among other things. Crime went 489 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 2: sky high in a lot of states and cities. Now 490 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 2: that it's come down, Democratic mayors and governors want to 491 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 2: take credit for lowering the crime rate. The crime rate 492 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 2: lowered because they started refunding the police and letting the 493 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 2: police go after the bad guys again. But there were 494 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 2: a couple of years where the police were defunded and 495 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 2: weren't allowed to chase the bad guys, so we had 496 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 2: huge crime increases. So these mayors and governors and legislatures 497 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,479 Speaker 2: were forced to pay for a police department and let 498 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 2: them do their thing. And now hey, we're at a 499 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 2: crime down. You can thank me for that. Brother. They're 500 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 2: doing this with ice. Saw a lot of Democrats, though, say, boy, 501 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 2: this is a bad idea. We got our asses handed 502 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,479 Speaker 2: to us when we went around chanting to fund the police. 503 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 2: Switching to abolish ice is we're gonna end up in 504 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 2: the same ditch. Abolish. Well, they abolished the border for 505 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 2: four years, and now they're angry that the criminals, the 506 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 2: murderers and rapists are being chased down by ICE. If 507 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 2: you didn't leave the border open, we wouldn't have to 508 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 2: do all this. They want to abolish Ice, abolish the border, 509 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 2: defund the plan. It's the same nonsense over and over again. 510 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 2: It's and Lindsay Horvath goes on television and say, yeah, yeah, 511 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 2: let's arrest ICE agents. Arrest ICE agents. Dumbest woman and 512 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 2: that supervisor board has a lot of dumb fools. She's 513 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 2: one of the dumb and I guess she can't read somebody. 514 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 2: We should all mail her a copy of the Constitution, 515 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 2: a pocket constitution. You probably have to circle the area 516 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 2: that covers the supremacy clause because she's not doesn't have 517 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 2: the attention span to find it on her own. All Right, 518 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 2: we're gonna We're done now, and uh company's next.
