As I wake up, 32 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: I couldn't believe this. I couldn't believe that Karen Bass 33 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: has decided to endure us, of all people, to be 34 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: the next governor of California. They actually had a press conference. 35 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: They did this in public. They didn't hide this. They 36 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: did this in uh, you know, in the middle of 37 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 2: the day. They didn't do it like in the dark 38 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: somewhere or with a press release. They wanted people to know. 39 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 2: This where the women at guys and Karen Pass has 40 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: the worst instincts for hiring personnel from the woman who 41 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: brought you Genice Quinon, Yes, who left the reservoirs drive. 42 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 3: Is she still around? 43 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,119 Speaker 2: She's still around? And how much does she make? Seven 44 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand dollars? But the woman who brought 45 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: us Brian Williams, the deputy in charge of public safety 46 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 2: who called in a bomb threat and is now in jail. 47 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 2: Oh from the woman who brought us Felicia Adams Kellum, 48 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: who blew billions of dollars in homeless money that nobody 49 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 2: can find and gave millions to her husband's nonprofit. I 50 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: worked for somebody who had atrocious hiring judgment. I won't 51 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: need names. Would cause too much trouble, Yes it would, 52 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 2: But there are people who are terrible at it, and 53 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 2: not even by accident do they have a good one. 54 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: That's what's fascinating. It's like, wow, that's the seventh one 55 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: in a row. That's bad. How do you do that? 56 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: It's a talent. It is some kind of inverse talent, 57 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: and Bass is one of those. She's really bad at hiring. 58 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 2: So of course maybe this makes sense. Of course you 59 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: would pick Tony Lallar to Big Governor. 60 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: They've been friends forever BFFs. 61 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, even worse than that.

This is going back, 167 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 2: you know, probably fifteen years, and I was constantly and 168 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: I were scoffing at this idea that he planted a 169 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: million trees, but they were sticking to it, and finally 170 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: he had one of his lackey's actually come to the 171 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 2: station with a huge sheaf of papers, a print out, 172 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: and this was supposed to be a print out of 173 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 2: all the trees they planted, right the address for locations, 174 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 2: and he's sitting right across and I said, well, wha, 175 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 2: look at that, and I could tell he didn't want 176 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 2: me to look at it. And finally I looked at 177 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: like the top sheet and they had the total number 178 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: of trees planted, and it was fifty eight thousand. Oh, 179 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: come on, it was fifty eight thousand, like two hundred 180 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 2: and something right, And on the air, I said, well, 181 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 2: fifty eight thousand, you're nine hundred and forty two thousand 182 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: trees short. And the guy on the other guy's just 183 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: looking at me, what there's something wrong with me. It's like, no, 184 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: you're the one who said it was a million trees. 185 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 2: Via Grosen said it was a million trees your own 186 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: documents here. I assumed that it would befoged documents. They 187 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: were actually accurate. It was fifty eight thous which is fine. 188 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: If it was fifty eight thousand trees, I would say, okay, 189 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 2: that's better than nothing, right, But he didn't respond to that. No, 190 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 2: he tried to like double talk around it, and I 191 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 2: just kept pointing out, it's like and this is what's 192 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 2: wrong with them. It's like you could, you could show 193 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: them to their face, their own paperwork, and they just 194 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 2: they just deer in the headlights. 195 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 3: Maybe the other thousand, nine hundred thousand, maybe via Gosa 196 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 3: planted himself and they didn't have documentation of that. 197 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 2: You're gonna feel it inside here. I'm telling you you 198 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 2: should get a job. It's one of these spokesholes. It 199 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: pays better than this.

So everywhere I go, I'm going to 332 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 5: say affordability is the number one. 333 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 2: They have a lot of poverty, in part because it's 334 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,719 Speaker 2: a sanctuary city and state, and we've got two million 335 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 2: illegal aliens living in the Los Angeles region, two million 336 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: of them. That kind of drags down the average income level, 337 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 2: doesn't It kind of boosts up the poverty rate, doesn't it. 338 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 2: And they're all in favor of importing all this poverty. 339 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 2: If you took two million people and deported them. How 340 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 2: much less tax money would we have to pay out? Well, 341 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 2: I know, right off the top of my head, we're 342 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: blowing thirty five billion dollars in state taxes on illegal aliens. 343 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: Thirty five billion, play some more. 344 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 5: I'm gonna say affordability is the number one issue we're facing. 345 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 5: People are working hard every day, every single day, and 346 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 5: they can't make ends meet. 347 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 2: A right, then how about we pay three dollars a 348 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 2: gallon for gas instead of five? All right? Because I 349 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 2: told you I was in five other states and they're 350 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 2: all paying three bucks a gallon and we're paying five. 351 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: He wants to be governor. I kind of used to 352 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,959 Speaker 2: thinking of him. I keep my brain's telling me he's 353 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 2: running for mayor. But he's not running for mayor. He's 354 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 2: running for governor here. So the gas price is based 355 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 2: on Gavin Newsom's insane set of taxes that adds two 356 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 2: bucks to every gallon. So what does Vira Goosis say 357 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 2: that he's going to repeal all these ridiculous taxes and regulations. 358 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: In fact, why doesn't one of the candidates say that, 359 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 2: Let's see what happens if you say I'm going to 360 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 2: repeal all the taxes and regulations that add two extra 361 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: dollars to every gallon of gas. I think you could 362 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 2: just run on that and do really well. All right 363 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 2: here he here he promises to rebuild the palisades in Altadena. 364 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 5: I pledge to you, Mayor, I'm gonna work with you 365 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 5: to rebuild the palisades and work with the other mayors 366 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 5: to rebuild outa Dina. We'll take on this insurance crisis. 367 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 2: That we have. It's all platitudes, it's all headlight. We're 368 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 2: going to work hard, we're going to fight. We're going 369 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 2: to do this and that. Can you feel that? I 370 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 2: got one more clip? Uh, this is bass. Listen to this. 371 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 2: After the Supreme Court said that Ice can round up 372 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 2: all the illegal aliens with the criteria they're using. Uh, this, 373 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 2: I guess was at the end of the speech. 374 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 4: Well, we're trying to examine that now. But I just 375 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 4: have to say that it was an egregious decision. It 376 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 4: was a shocking decision because it's interesting that the same 377 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 4: court that said you couldn't take race into consideration for 378 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 4: college admission basically said you can take race into consideration. 379 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,239 Speaker 2: They didn't want to stop, stop stop. They had they 380 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 2: had like five criteria as a group that they can 381 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 2: use not they said specifically, you can't just take one 382 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 2: of them. All right, let's take a break. We come back. 383 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 2: Tony Strickland on another tax coming from Sacramento. They're going 384 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 2: to tax you based on your commute if you move 385 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 2: to a new housing development. That's next. 386 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A 387 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 7: six forty. 388 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 2: Welcome, It's the John Cobelt Show. We continue around every 389 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 2: day from one until four, and then after four o'clock 390 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 2: you get the podcast John Cobelt Show on demand so 391 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 2: you can hear what you missed. The hits keep on 392 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 2: coming out of Sacramento. Another tax bill that they're trying 393 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 2: to pass. And be honest, I don't quite understand this one, 394 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 2: which is why we have State Senator Tony Strickland on 395 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 2: Republican at a Huntington Beach's. It's some kind of tax 396 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 2: that's going to make housing harder to build more expensive. 397 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 2: Let's get Tony Strickland on here to see what kind 398 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 2: of genius move this is. Tony? How are you? 399 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 1: I'm fantastic. How are you doing John? 400 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 2: I'm good? What is this? It's a vehicles, a vehicle 401 00:24:53,920 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 2: miles traveled tax on housing development? That what do you think? 402 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: So it was a budget trailer bill, and there was 403 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: a quietly added into the budget bill, Abe one thirty 404 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 1: that in a small section, section fifty eight in this 405 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: bill would allow local agencies to impose a vehicle miles 406 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: travel tax. And what that would mean is your local 407 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: agencies will be allowed now to tax our citizens. And 408 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: it projected the cost as much as sixteen two hundred 409 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: per home for new development. And so what it really 410 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: is trying to do. What they do in the legislature 411 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 1: is they're trying to urbanize all of California and they 412 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: really don't like suburban communities or people who drive cars 413 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: in suburban and rural California. So what they're going to 414 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: try to do is get these local agencies to do 415 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: a tax. For example, if you live in a suburban 416 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 1: community and you travel to Los Angeles, they want to 417 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: tax you because they want you out of your car 418 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: and they're going to do a mile miles travel tax. 419 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: A projection, so I represent Huntington Beach, So if someone 420 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: goes from Huntington Beach, which is a suburban COSA community, 421 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,239 Speaker 1: and they go into Los Angeles and they do a 422 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: new development, they're going to tax on the basic estimate 423 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: of how many miles you drive to work and. 424 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 2: Going to the cost is this, people are going to 425 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 2: be taxed individually once they determine how many miles you 426 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 2: drive from home to work. 427 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: No, this is what when they do it do a 428 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: new development, They're going to allow local agencies to impose 429 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: this tax because what they really want. 430 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 2: Who's paying the tax? Who's paying the tax? 431 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: Well, obviously the people who buy the new home won't 432 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: pay the tax, and we already have affordability crisis on buying. 433 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 2: Okay, so you have to buy the home. Now you're 434 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 2: subject to this tax, and they'll be able to track 435 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,479 Speaker 2: where you're employed. They have your new address, and it's 436 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 2: just the people who move into this new development. 437 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: Yes, and it's for new development. 438 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 2: And so then who's going to want to move into 439 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 2: that development if you could go across the street and 440 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 2: that other development is not taxed. 441 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: Well, you will end up happening is people won't want 442 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: to move into new developments. And again we'll end up 443 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: doing is increasing the cost of housing everywhere in California, 444 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: especially in suburban and rural community well. 445 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 2: This is nuts. So the tax, the tax at least 446 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 2: for now, is not on everybody. It's if you move 447 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 2: into a newly constructed development, correct, and then they're going 448 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 2: to tax the homeowner. 449 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: Correct. 450 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 2: Well, this is crazy. What mental patient fucked this up? 451 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: Well, it was a quietly added provision within this. 452 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 2: Uh who's the jackass who editing? 453 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: You know? Well, yeah, it's it's Uh, it's a Wiener 454 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: who budget. 455 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 2: Scott Wiener again? 456 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: Yep? 457 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 2: Oh God, is there an way to deport him. 458 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: It's one of those other things that, as you know, 459 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: we have affordability crisis people right now. Young people back 460 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,479 Speaker 1: at the generation ago, you'd be able to save him 461 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: by your first home, and so many young people today 462 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 1: can't afford it, and they go in and move in 463 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: with their parents in their late twenties and early thirties, 464 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: so they can't afford new homes and they can't afford 465 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: homes here in California. We have a major affordability crisis. 466 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 2: And also this makes it a lot worse, doesn't The 467 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 2: gas tax. 468 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it adds to the gas tax and everything else 469 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: that we do here in Sacramento, and they make it 470 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 1: more expensive and drive people away from California to the 471 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: middle of the desert to Arizona and the humidity of Florida. 472 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 2: You get penalized for choosing to live in a new development, 473 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 2: and then you get penalized based on where you choose 474 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 2: to work. You get penalized for working. You get penalized 475 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 2: for succeeding enough to afford a house. 476 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: They want to penalize you if you don't live in 477 00:28:59,400 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: an urbans. 478 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 2: Even the Soviets didn't come up with this stuff. This 479 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 2: is really breaking new ground. You get penalized for living 480 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 2: in it. You know that means I don't understand the 481 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 2: hatred for people who have suburban lives. 482 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: But you remember, as mayor of Huntington Beach, before I 483 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: got here, they put in this big, huge housing mandate 484 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: that we increased our population by fifty percent, and they 485 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: wanted us to do nothing but high rise, high density 486 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: apartment buildings and urbanized. Look, some people want that urban living, 487 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: but I know people in Huntington Beach they like the 488 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: suburban coastal community.
