We live in the only country in. 341 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 17: The world where it takes more brains to figure out 342 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 17: your income tax than it does durn the. 343 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 9: Income I'd be right. 344 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 17: We've gotten in the habit of over the last forty 345 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 17: years of thinking the government. 346 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 9: Has the answers. 347 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 17: There's very little that government can do as efficiently and 348 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 17: as economically as the people can do themselves. And if 349 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 17: government would shut the doors and sneak away for about 350 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 17: three weeks, we'd never miss them. Our biggest problem is 351 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 17: that we have built a permanent structure of government, federal, state, 352 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 17: and local, the permanent employees, and they've come to the 353 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 17: place that they actually determined policy in this country more than. 354 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 9: Does the Congress of the United States. 355 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 17: There are fourteen and a half million public employees in 356 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 17: the United States. That's quite a voting block. And the 357 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 17: bureaus and agencies not in Washington. You talking earlier about 358 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 17: some of the research programs. What would you say if 359 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 17: I told you about one a study in which this 360 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 17: was called the. 361 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 9: Demography of Happiness. 362 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 17: And in this study, the government found out that young 363 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 17: people are happier in old people. 364 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 9: And they found out that people. 365 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 17: That earned more or happier than people that earn less. 366 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 17: And they found out that well people are happier than 367 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 17: six people that's less. Life was two hundred and forty 368 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 17: nine thousand dollars to find out it's better to be rich, 369 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 17: young and healthy than old poorns. 370 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 9: A poll was. 371 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 17: Taken recently that found out that only forty six percent 372 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 17: of the people in the poll could name their United 373 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 17: States congressman. But what was worse, eighty six percent of 374 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 17: those who could name him couldn't tell you a single 375 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 17: thing that he represented or stood for. They just knew 376 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 17: that he represented the fay but he was a congressman. 377 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 17: But what's he doing while he's up there? And the 378 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 17: same is true at the at the local levels of 379 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 17: government and all the rest. 380 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 9: But so you people, really you have to take an 381 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 9: active interest. 382 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 17: You have to have citizenation groups locally and let them know. 383 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 9: Special interest groups. 384 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 17: Now, the special interest groups, right as everyone thought, big 385 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 17: powerful business interests are something that are going to persuade 386 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 17: government to do things. As a matter of fact, I 387 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 17: don't know anyone with less influence today in government than business. 388 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 17: They're just a convenient whipping boy. But it's the groups 389 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 17: that have got a particular acts to grind. 390 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 9: You can't have a power. 391 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 17: Plant because it might interfere with the seagulls. 392 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 14: Now. 393 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 17: I think I'm an environmentalist, and I do not agree 394 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 17: with those people way over in the edge who pave 395 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 17: the whole country over in the name of progress. But 396 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 17: also I don't like those on the other extreme, the 397 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 17: one that you build a house unless it looks like 398 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 17: a bird's nest. Well someplace in the middle. We got 399 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 17: to allow people are ecology too well, this kind of group, 400 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 17: and they want their particular program. Hundreds of dollars have 401 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 17: been added to the cost of an automobile putting gadgets 402 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 17: on to clear up the air. We're the only country 403 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 17: in the world that's set out to do it that way. 404 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 17: When budget deficits are what's causing inflation, I don't see 405 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 17: that there's. 406 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 9: Any room to be on either side of that argument. 407 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 17: I think the answer to curing and is a balanced budget. 408 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 9: Now how do you do that? I mean, that's not 409 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 9: how do you balance the budget? 410 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 17: Well, balancing the budget is like protecting more than you 411 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 17: take in right now, it's like protecting your virtue. 412 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 9: You have to learn to say. 413 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 18: No, there's got to be another way. 414 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 17: What's the second option? Well, no, there's some ways that 415 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 17: this could be brought about. First of all that limitation, 416 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 17: here's another one. Why shouldn't we have, in addition to 417 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 17: a simplified income text, why shouldn't we also have a 418 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 17: law that says that any time a legislator or a 419 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 17: congressman introduces a spending program, he has to introduce with 420 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 17: it a tax program to pay for it. 421 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 9: Now, let the people find out. 422 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 17: There was a woman that from a financial firm that 423 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 17: was back at the President's Economic Counsel and her words 424 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 17: weren't quoted everybody else's words gotten the paper or all 425 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 17: the Heller's. 426 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 9: And the gall breaths and all the so called economists. 427 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 17: And I have a degree in economics, so I can 428 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 17: say this. I think an economist is someone who has 429 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 17: a five day to kapakey on one. 430 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 9: End of his watchchain and no watch on the other. 431 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 17: This woman said that you go to the polls and 432 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 17: you ask the people do they want some social service, 433 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 17: some program the government can give, And the people in 434 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 17: the polls are after read and say that sounds good. Yeah, 435 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 17: But she says that isn't exactly accurate. She says, put 436 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 17: an one hundred dollars bill in each person's hand and 437 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 17: then show them the program and say, now, isn't that 438 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 17: a nice program? 439 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 9: Do you want it? Give me thee hundred dollars? 440 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 17: She says, See what the poll says then, and how 441 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 17: many people hang on with one hundred dollars. 442 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 9: Instead of the program? 443 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 17: In other words, that it's rather hidden than someone doesn't 444 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 17: know exactly where it's gonna come. They all start all 445 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 17: the government programs start a dollar down and we'll catch 446 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 17: you later, and they multiply all of those things that 447 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,959 Speaker 17: you were. The Office of Management and Budget in Washington 448 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 17: that's responsible for the budget putting the budget together, cannot 449 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 17: even tell you how many boards, commissions, agencies, bureaus, and 450 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 17: departments there are in the federal government. But all of 451 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 17: them can pass regulations, and those regulations have the force 452 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 17: of law. And the difference is when you break the law, 453 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 17: you're innocent until proven guilty. When you break a regulation, 454 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 17: the fellow the charges you would break in the regulation, 455 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 17: you're guilty. If you want to take him to court 456 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 17: and prove your innocent, that's up to you. And all 457 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 17: of these are things that yes, we can trim the budget. 458 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 17: There's enough fat in the federal government that if you 459 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 17: rendered it, you could wash the world. Maybe it's time 460 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 17: for realignment between people who might be find themselves in 461 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 17: the wrong parties. Maybe there are some people still voting. 462 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 17: I was a Democrat most of my life. I became 463 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 17: a Republican only not too many years ago. And I 464 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 17: had the pleasure of telling some of those people that 465 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 17: are saying the Republican Party ought. 466 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 9: To broaden this base the other day. 467 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 17: That when I switched parties, I didn't do it because 468 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 17: the two parties were alike. 469 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 9: I did it because they were different. 470 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 17: And I think that the two parties are the stand 471 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 17: up as to what they represent, what they said. 472 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 3: They are telling what's called onesies, these little things clothing 473 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 3: for a baby. 474 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: Afldabari. Sure you was one of all these onesies. 475 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 2: You know. When I was growing up, California was the 476 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 2: dream of America. 477 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 3: Florida was up there, but California was the dream location. 478 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 3: Texas is rugged and independent and everything's big and tough, 479 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 3: and I'm very proud to be a lifelong Texan and 480 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 3: I don't see myself living anywhere else. But California was 481 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 3: a place you went on vacation, and for many people, 482 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 3: you didn't feel like you needed to go to Dominican 483 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 3: Republic or Hawaii necessarily because California was so beautiful that 484 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 3: if you were in Texas, that was as far as 485 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 3: you needed to go. Texans would drive to California. And 486 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 3: of course you had the movie industry, which was a 487 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 3: big part, you know, so a lot of the pre 488 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 3: d people. But you also had big agriculture, lush Mediterranean 489 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 3: products in the Wine country. You had tourism, you had 490 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 3: great sports teams, you had a powerful economy, you had 491 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 3: beautiful mountains and beaches and the ocean. I mean, this 492 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 3: was it, man and somehow, some way through bad political decisions, 493 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 3: and we've seen this happen before. I mean, Beyroot was 494 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 3: once a great place. Tehran was once a city in 495 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,719 Speaker 3: Iran that you would go as a tourist. Be Root especially, 496 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 3: Zagreb was once a city that, you know, a Paris 497 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 3: of the east, Bucharest. These were places for that matter, Havannah. 498 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 3: These were places that you would want to go and 499 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 3: visit because they were glorious, and bad political decisions, bad 500 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 3: political decisions destroyed those places. And California. Somebody asked me 501 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 3: the other day, they said, Hey, I got to do 502 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 3: my board meeting. I'm trying to decide where to do it, 503 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 3: and some of our employees want to do San Francisco. 504 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 2: What do you think? And I said, well, why don't 505 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 2: you fly out there for a weekend. 506 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 3: Why don't you just walk around and if you don't 507 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 3: get mugged and you don't slip in the crap and 508 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 3: you know you're not everything you have stolen from you, 509 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 3: then I guess you know, knock yourself out. But honestly, 510 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 3: it's sad. And Gavin Newsom didn't make California horrible. 511 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: It was horrible before, but. 512 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 3: He's sure made it a whole lot worse, hasn't he? 513 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 3: And it's time for a change. 514 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 10: Good morning, chat Bon Riverside County Sheriff. We're here today 515 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 10: because California public safety is in crisis. Crime is steadily 516 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 10: on the rise, and our public safety policy is one 517 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 10: of the worst, if not the worst, in the nation. 518 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 10: I want to make this clear, and I want there 519 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 10: to be no mistake in what. 520 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 9: I am saying. This is not by accident. 521 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 10: The driving force in our crisis is a radical progressive 522 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 10: agenda fraudulently called criminal justice reform. This is nothing short 523 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 10: of a sick and twisted social experiment where law enforcement 524 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 10: is the bad guy and criminals are somehow victims of 525 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 10: society and not responsible for their actions, their crimes, or 526 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 10: accountable to their countless victims. This agenda began with a 527 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 10: passage of AB one oh nine, the so called Public 528 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 10: Safety Realignment Act. State government failed to take responsibility for 529 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 10: prison overcrowding or their failure to build more prisons, and 530 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 10: instead forced county jails to house state inmates while simultaneously 531 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 10: releasing thousands of felons early. This has pushed our county 532 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 10: jails to a near collapse and caused the early release 533 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 10: of countless criminals. Thousands upon thousands of criminals are being 534 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 10: released from custody early. Crime is increasing, and our governor 535 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 10: is closing prisons instead of building new ones. It defies 536 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 10: common sense. In twenty fourteen, a complete fraud was perpetrated 537 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 10: in California. 538 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: The so called Safe streets and safe schools. 539 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 10: Initiative Prop forty seven changed many felonies to misdemeanors, basically 540 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 10: legalized drug use, and increased the amount of petty theft 541 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 10: to nearly one thousand dollars. In twenty sixteen, another lie 542 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 10: was perpetrated on voters with the naming and wording of 543 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 10: Prop fifty seven, tricking voters into approving the release of 544 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 10: thousands of violent criminals onto our streets and neighborhoods. 545 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: This is why we are here. 546 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 10: Everyone knows Prop forty seven and fifty seven are disasters, 547 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 10: and yet Governor Newsom adamantly touts it as a success, 548 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 10: and lawmakers continue to refuse to fix their mistake and 549 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 10: the problems that they have created. When once crimes are 550 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 10: no longer crimes, it allows Governor Newsom an Attorney General 551 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 10: Bonta to cite completely flawed data points to support their failures. 552 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 10: Californians are now suffering the consequences of a failed social agenda. 553 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 10: We are now at our breaking point and Californians have 554 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 10: had enough. The law of Prop forty seven has been 555 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 10: exposed and the progressive love affair with criminals at the 556 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 10: expensive victims has infuriated law abiding Californians. While we suffer 557 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 10: every day with rampant theft causing our small businesses to 558 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 10: close and our large box stores to move out of state, 559 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 10: our supermajority of lawmakers sit here in their guarded tower, 560 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 10: oblivious to what is going on in their communities, experiencing 561 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 10: drastic increases in all crimes, tiarticularly violent crimes. Over the 562 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 10: past five years, law enforcement has been unable to get 563 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 10: our progressive left majority to even consider any new law 564 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 10: or modification to an existing law that would increase punishment 565 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 10: or send criminals to prison. Reality has gone completely upside 566 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 10: down to the point our governor, our lawmakers, and our 567 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 10: Attorney general refused to prosecute criminals, to include those criminals 568 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 10: committing crimes with guns, and instead have dedicated their efforts 569 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 10: to disarm and remove constitutional protections of self defense from 570 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,719 Speaker 10: law abiding Californians. We are in a very important election 571 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 10: year and the political silliness is servicing all around us. 572 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 10: The same supermajority who refused any sort of tough on 573 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 10: crime laws for the past several years are up for reelection. 574 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 10: They are now claiming they are going to address our 575 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 10: public safety crisis with new laws cracking down on crime. 576 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 10: The problem is every one of their bills are disingenuous 577 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 10: and hollow. For instance, one bill claims to address theft 578 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 10: by luring the felony limit back to four hundred dollars. 579 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 10: Upon examination of the bill, you will find that it 580 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 10: gives these career criminals three more chances to steal and 581 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 10: be convicted before they are sentenced to prison. That is 582 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 10: three a minimum of three more victims. We cannot turn 583 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 10: on the news, read the newspaper, go to the grocery store, 584 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 10: or open our businesses without being slapped in the face 585 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 10: of reality that criminals have been emboldened by a lenient 586 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 10: system that holds no consequence for criminal behavior. Instead of 587 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 10: addressing the obvious tone def Governor Newsom attacks a target 588 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 10: employee for not stopping a criminal from fleeing the store, 589 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 10: instead of taking an honest look at the failed social 590 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 10: experiment that he himself leads that allowed that theft to occur. 591 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 10: It is time we wake up and hold our politicians 592 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 10: againccountable for what their bills. 593 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: Laws and policies have caused. 594 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 10: It is time to return to a common sense approach 595 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 10: to crime, realizing and admitting that there are evil people 596 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 10: who refuse to conform to a civilized society and instead 597 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 10: choose to victimize the rest of us by stealing our property, 598 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 10: robbing our stores, flooding our streets with drugs, including fentanyl, 599 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 10: breaking into our homes, murdering our children, and giving the 600 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 10: middle finger to our justice system. Californians deserve better. I 601 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 10: am proud to support lawmakers like Bill A. 602 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: Saley and several others who acknowledge. 603 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 10: That criminals are responsible for their actions and they need 604 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 10: to be held accountable. 605 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 17: Thank yous, not thank you, and good night.
