Really, that's what it said. 14 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 3: So listen to that of shocking segments on the podcast 15 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 3: on the iHeart app John Cobelt Show on Demand. All Right, 16 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 3: we're gonna you may have heard that the Trump Department 17 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 3: of Justice is suing Calia for its idiotic law telling 18 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 3: the federal government that the ice agents can't wear masks. 19 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 3: Still they're obsessed with the masks. So we're going to 20 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 3: talk with State Senator Tony Strickland about this lawsuit. 21 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 2: Tony, how are you I'm good, John, how are you. 22 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: I'm good. 23 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 3: I would think it's obvious common sense that a state 24 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 3: can't tell the federal government had address its law enforcement officers. 25 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: Well, I said that, if you remember, John, I said 26 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: that at the time, we have no jurisdiction over federal authorities, 27 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: and Governor knew some of these folks exempted the CHD 28 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: of which they do have jurisdiction over. So now it's 29 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: just a recavoc on our sheriffs and our police chiefs 30 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: at a time when we're having a hard time getting 31 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: people into law enforcement and field and all this does 32 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: it's a reckless piece of legislation. All it does is 33 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: allow those to harass and do what they can to 34 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: law enforcement agencies when they're just trying to do their job. 35 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: It's a reckless piece of legislation. 36 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: Are any state or local law enforcement officers actually trying 37 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 3: to enforce this against ice agents? 38 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't heard that anybody's tried. 39 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: I don't think they. 40 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:27,839 Speaker 2: I don't. 41 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: Look. I think Governor Newsom is all about running for 42 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: president to headline for him, and he doesn't really care 43 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: about what the outcome is on this stuff. I just 44 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: think that it's a reckless piece of legislation. We know, 45 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: as state legislators we have no authority over the federal government, 46 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: and they knew that when they're passed this legislation. I 47 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: think these folks are out of step with reality. And 48 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: when they passed the bill, again I reiterate, they exempted 49 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: the safety of what we do have jurisdiction. 50 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: Over right, so CHP can wear masks. 51 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, were the law. They exempted the HP. The 52 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: law exempted them. And again now now it applies, it 53 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: applies to undercover and folks in your your police chiefs 54 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: and your and your sheriffs. And and again I've been 55 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: active in public policy for now over over a decade, 56 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 1: I've never seen more opposition from law enforcement on a 57 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: peace of legislation than this one. 58 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 3: Well, it's dangerous for obvious reasons. I mean, there really 59 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: is a lot of docs and going on. 60 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: If it's their families at risk, And as we talked 61 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: about it, when this passed, look at the skyrocketing assault 62 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: on ice agents. It almost gives them the government saying 63 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: it's okay to go after ice agents, which is totally unacceptable. 64 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: They're just doing their job. 65 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 3: Well, you know this, this this should prevail easily in court. 66 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 3: I think think it's it's like an absolute fact that 67 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: federal law trump's state law, and that no state can 68 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 3: tell the Feds what to do in a case like yours. 69 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: Of course your law student would understand that. 70 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. 71 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: So they I mean, and they know this. I mean, 72 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 3: certainly Rob Bonton, the Attorney General knows this. 73 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 2: Uh, and and. 74 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 3: And so on purpose, they're they're just make their grand standing. 75 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 3: They're just making a political statement to manipulate the emotions 76 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: of the people who vote for these losers. 77 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: But there's there's almost it's almost like they're encouraging people 78 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: to go after ICE agents. 79 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 3: Uh. 80 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: And that's why you know, right now assaults on ICE 81 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: agents are skyrocketing, and it's just totally unacceptable. These people 82 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: are just doing their job and they have a right 83 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: to go home to their families without being harassed. And 84 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: that's why they want to do it. They want to 85 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: identify these folks and they want to go after them 86 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: when they're off duty, and it puts them in harms 87 00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: way as well as their families. 88 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's a lot of people in the state 89 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 3: who don't understand that they are bad. They got badly 90 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 3: out voted in the twenty twenty four election. I mean, 91 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 3: you take California's numbers out of the national election cycle 92 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 3: and that the national election totals Trump won by a 93 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: very large amount both in. 94 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: It and a big reason I say this to my 95 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: friends all the time, The big reason why he's in 96 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: the White House is he said he's going to he's 97 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: going to do whatever he can to curb the legal 98 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: immigration problem that we have here in this country. He's 99 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: going to close the border and he's going to get 100 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: the people out who commit crime, who come from other countries. 101 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: He said this pain on that issue. 102 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: He said this, and he said it clearly. It was 103 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: his number one issue. 104 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: He said it loudly, He said it as as as 105 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 3: as angrily as a person could. It was the first 106 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 3: issue he announced back in twenty fifteen when he came 107 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 3: down the escalator. 108 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: So that too, he is shocked to nobody that he's 109 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: working to enforce our federal imigration laws again because there's 110 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: a correstone of his campaign. 111 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 2: So Rick, you know, somebody ought to go online, do 112 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: the math. 113 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 3: Take the California votes out of the system, just look 114 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 3: at the other forty nine states and see how much 115 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 3: Trump won by across the country. 116 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: Or even in California. Take out Los Angeles County and 117 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: take out San Francisco and you'll see a different result. 118 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 3: I want to talk to you about the Legislative Analyst 119 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 3: Office up in Sacramento. 120 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: They're supposed to be nonpartisan. 121 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 3: So they have an annual fiscal forecast for the Sacramento budget, 122 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 3: and there's an eighteen billion dollar budget deficit, and that's 123 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 3: much higher than originally predicted. A lot of this has 124 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 3: to do with illegal alien healthcare spending. 125 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: Talk about this, Oh, we're spending billions on a legal 126 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: alien healthcare. But you know it's to be shocked to 127 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: nobody when you spend more money than you take in 128 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: over a long period of time, just like any family budget. 129 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: We're and we bat maxed out our credit cards, John, 130 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: I mean, we borrowed thirty three billion dollars already, and 131 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: we don't get our physical house in order. We spend 132 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: money on things like the high streed rail a billion 133 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: dollars a year. We just spent three billion on a 134 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: new unaccountable agency called the Climate Agency. We keep spending 135 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: wasting dollars. California doesn't have a revenue problem as a 136 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: wasteful spending problem when when we're wasting dollars on things 137 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: like that in those programs and healthcare for illegals, but 138 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: now we're also not funding essential services, the basics. We're 139 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: not funding our infrastructure, We're not funding Pop thirty six 140 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: to keep us safe across the state of California. We're 141 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: not funding the basics that people expect from government, but 142 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: we're doing these ancillary things like funding healthcare for illegals 143 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: and spending billions of wasting billions of dollars on things 144 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: like the High Street rail. 145 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: How long can this go on? I mean, I've read that. 146 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: I thought I thought we were passing tipicly a while ago. John, 147 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: It can't sustaining itself. It just can't because you can't 148 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: keep taxing. Because what happens is the wealthier folks have 149 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: the ability to leave, and a lot of them are. 150 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: It's the first time since California, in California, since the 151 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: gold Rush, more people are leaving the state of California 152 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: than coming in. Think about that since the gold Rush. 153 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: We're set to lose four to five House seats in 154 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: twenty thirty because people and their jobs are leading and 155 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: fleeing the State of California. Not because we don't have 156 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: the best weather in the world. We live in the 157 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: best place in the world. But it's a bad policy 158 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: from Gavin Newsom in the California legislature that are driving 159 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: these jobs away from the state of California. We have 160 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: an affordability crisis and a lot of it comes from 161 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: these unaccountable boarding agencies like California Air Resources Board, the 162 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: Coastal Commission. They're driving the cost of doing anything here 163 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: in California and so people can't afford it, and they're 164 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: leading to states like Montana that are frozen three months 165 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: a year. 166 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 3: All right, Tony Strickland, State Centator, thank you for coming on. 167 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: Thanks for as always I really appreciate.

Their wealth and if they 174 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 3: try to leave next year after this tax passes, they're 175 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 3: going to be taxed on the wealth they had here 176 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five. With all this seems like ridiculously unconstitutional, 177 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 3: but then again, so is telling the federal government how 178 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 3: to address its ice officers.

All right, we just had Tony Strickland 205 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 3: on and he was talking about how the wild budget 206 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 3: deficit that Gavin Newsom has created. 207 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 2: You know, since Gavin Newsom. 208 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 3: Took over as governor, he's increased spending one hundred and 209 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 3: twenty four billion dollars a year. One hundred and twenty 210 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 3: four billion dollars. That is more money than Schwartzenegger's last 211 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 3: budget was. Schwartzenegger's last budget was about one hundred billion dollars. 212 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 3: Now Newsom's increase is one hundred and twenty four billion, 213 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 3: So they're way short of tax money. So they're they're 214 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 3: gonna need to raise taxes, and Newsom is pushing a 215 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 3: billionaire's tax on two hundred and twenty billionaires that were 216 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 3: living in California in twenty twenty five. The SEIU, the 217 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 3: Union is supporting this, and it would impose a five 218 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 3: percent tax on individual wealth that exceeds a billion dollars, 219 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 3: and it would be based on twenty twenty six net worth, 220 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 3: but it would apply to any billionaire who lived in 221 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 3: California in twenty twenty five. So if they passed the 222 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 3: tax and everybody wants to move out right away, they're 223 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 3: still supposed to pay because they were they lived here 224 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 3: last year. 225 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 2: Now. 226 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 3: I can't imagine that's legal, constitutional, or any of it. 227 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 3: And what do you think these people are gonna do. 228 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: They're going to move out. None of them have to 229 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 3: live here. It's incredibly stupid, incredibly stupid. I am some 230 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 3: irritated by people who go after billionaires, after successful people. 231 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 3: Jeff Beizos has too much money. Yeah, why didn't you 232 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 3: start Amazon? You lazy ass? Laid on the couch Guslin beer, 233 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 3: chomping on Doritos. This guy built Amazon. What did you do, 234 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 3: smart ass? Nothing? Same thing with most all right, you 235 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 3: send rockets up into orbit. 236 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 2: Go ahead, let me see it. 237 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 3: You put together the only successful electric car company. Let's say, hey, 238 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 3: I about brain chips. Of course, Musk's brain chips wouldn't 239 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 3: help these people. They're so stupid. I just don't understand it. 240 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 3: You can't do anything that they do, but you want 241 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 3: to steal their money. Why is that they can't keep 242 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 3: the money they earned with their work, their inventions, their 243 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 3: businesses they built. Somehow you're supposed to get it, because 244 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 3: why because of all the beer you can drink on 245 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 3: a Sunday afternoon watching football. I don't I really don't 246 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 3: get it. And of course you know the union wants. 247 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 3: You know, this is government workers in this union, so 248 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 3: their professional parason. Katie Grimes in the California Globe said 249 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 3: that here are the states that residents have been fleeing 250 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 3: to for many years in great numbers because of low 251 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 3: tax or no income tax. Florida, Texas, Arizona, Idaho, Tennessee, 252 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 3: South Carolina, Nevada. Even Washington State, as liberal as it is, 253 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 3: has a much lower tax than we do. 254 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 2: That's eight states. That's where they're going. 255 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 3: Chevron has moved out X, Twitter, SpaceX, Oracle, Hewlett Packard, 256 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 3: Charles Schwab, Toyota, Nissan. I can actually go through hundreds 257 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 3: and hundreds of companies that left. Listen to this statistic. 258 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 3: California loses a taxpayer every one minute in forty four seconds. 259 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 3: Every minute forty four a taxpayer leaves in New York 260 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 3: every two minutes and twenty three seconds. Low or no 261 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 3: income tax states gained three hundred and ninety one billion 262 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 3: dollars from California just during the first three years that 263 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 3: Newsom was governor. Rich people move, they take their companies 264 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 3: with them. It's one of the perks of being a billionaire, 265 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 3: and that's what they'll do. These things never work out. 266 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 3: Can't possibly be constitutional? 267 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: All right? 268 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 3: When we come back, Oh, there's a Oh Carl Demyo, 269 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 3: we're going to play you a clip that he posted. 270 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 3: There's another tax. This one isn't aimed at you, No, 271 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 3: this one is aimed at you. The billionaire's taxes at billionaires. 272 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 3: This one is aimed at you, and they're going to 273 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 3: hide it in your mortgage when you buy a new house, 274 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 3: based on how many miles they think you're going to 275 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 3: travel to work. Yeah, really shaking your head at that one. 276 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: All right? 277 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: And maybe maybe yeah, I'll sing you happy birthday. 278 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 4: Maybe you're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI 279 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 280 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 3: You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social 281 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 3: media at John Cobelt Radio.

All right, I'm gonna play a clip of 288 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 3: Carl Demile. We just told you how the Sacramento they're 289 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 3: way out of budget again even though they have record 290 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 3: tax revenues by far, and they want to pass a 291 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 3: billionaire's tax and take five percent of the wealth the 292 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 3: existing wealth of every billionaire above one billion dollars. And 293 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 3: there's two hundred and twenty billionaires who live in California, 294 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 3: and many of them are going to leave. In fact, 295 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 3: they know that they're going to leave the gavendusum because 296 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 3: the provision is this will pass in twenty twenty six, 297 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 3: but they have to pay the tax for what they 298 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 3: for what their net worth was in twenty twenty five. 299 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 3: So you can't move out in twenty twenty six and 300 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 3: avoid the tax because it's based on what you were 301 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 3: worth in twenty twenty five. And so they even if 302 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,959 Speaker 3: they just get that one time hitting twenty twenty five, 303 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 3: you know they're going to take that. Then they're taxing 304 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 3: the rest of us. Instead of raising the gas tax, 305 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:54,959 Speaker 3: they buried something called a Vehicle miles traveled Housing Tax 306 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 3: v MT. 307 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 2: It could add a significant. 308 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 3: Extra cost to any new home or apartment that you 309 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 3: buy starting in twenty twenty six. Carl Demiel the Assembly 310 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 3: and explain this in a post on x A VMT. 311 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 5: Now, you, as a driver, are not going to be 312 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 5: charged the mileage tax directly. Instead, they're going to start 313 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 5: increasing the cost of housing in California by charging every 314 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 5: developer who builds a house or housing project a mileage tax. Yeah, 315 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 5: you're saying, what, Carl, Houses don't drive on the road, 316 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 5: I know, unless you're an RV. They're basically saying is 317 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 5: that houses create drivers, and drivers therefore should. 318 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 2: Be paying for it. 319 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 5: But we really don't have the guts now that people 320 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 5: like Demayo are out there causing a ruckus about the 321 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 5: direct approach to a mileage tax. Well, what if we 322 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 5: hit it in their mortgage payment? Do you understand how dishonest, sneaky, 323 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 5: corrupt these politicians are. Are you seeing it now? They 324 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 5: don't want you to know that they're robbing you blind. 325 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 5: So instead of charging you a mileage tax directly, they're 326 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 5: charging you a mileage tacks indirectly. 327 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 2: They're saying, oh, it's the developer's fault. 328 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 5: They're overpricing the home. The estimate three hundred and twenty 329 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 5: four thousand dollars per home or apartment built. 330 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 2: Three hundred and twenty. 331 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 5: Four thousand dollars per apartment unit or house built. That 332 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 5: is the price of a house in some states, in 333 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 5: most states, actually that's about the average for the nationwide average. 334 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 5: Into all of this, you wonder why California has a 335 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 5: cost of living crisis. The Transparency Foundation study shows living 336 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 5: in California imposes a twenty eight thousand and thirty seven 337 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 5: dollars and twenty eight cent cost of living penalty on 338 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 5: tipple typical middle class family. I. When you go down 339 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 5: to housing costs, the cost for housing is one hundred 340 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 5: and eight percent higher for homeowners, forty seven percent higher 341 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 5: for renters. You impose a three hundred thousand plus per 342 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 5: unit mileage tax that then has to be rolled into 343 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 5: the rent or the mortgage. And you were talking about 344 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 5: two hundred percent higher for homeowners and easily almost one 345 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 5: hundred percent higher for renters. Look at our gas costs 346 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 5: about forty seven per gas per per gallon higher. You 347 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 5: had a mileage tax onto that of six hundred and 348 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 5: nine or dollars per driver per year for fifteen thousand miles. 349 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 5: We're talking easily two to two fifty. These people that 350 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 5: they're they're robbers and thief. 351 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 2: There you go. 352 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 3: That's Carl Demile explaining a vehicle mileage tax that has 353 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 3: been embedded in a bill. 354 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 2: It'll be embedded in your mortgage. 355 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 3: You follow that, so you buy a house, you buy 356 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 3: a condo, and with you, you know, there's a long 357 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 3: list of payments and fees and this and that embedded 358 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 3: in there is a VMT eight vehicle miles traveled. So 359 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 3: we're going to talk more about this in the coming weeks. 360 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 3: This is supposed to hit on January first, twenty twenty six. 361 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 2: It could end up. 362 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 3: Costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course 363 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,959 Speaker 3: of your mortgage. There, I guess somehow going to figure 364 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 3: out how much mileage you're going to travel now based 365 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 3: on where you bought the house. 366 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 2: See, they made. 367 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 3: It complicated, so it's hard to explain. It's also so 368 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 3: shocking your brain doesn't want to accept it. 369 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 6: But what Carl is saying is that they wouldn't charge 370 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 6: us a direct gas tax because there would be so 371 00:21:54,800 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 6: much public resistance. So they buried it in a mortgage tax, 372 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 6: figuring nobody was gonna notice, nobody was gonna understand it, 373 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 6: nobody was going to investigate it, nobody was going to 374 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 6: cover it in the media because they don't understand this stuff. 375 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 3: So how they got to the number who knows. But 376 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 3: the concept is, hey, you bought a house and now 377 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 3: you're going to be driving around to go places. Well 378 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 3: we're going to tax you for that driving around. 379 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: You know. 380 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 3: Originally they wanted to track your odometer and send you 381 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 3: a bill for the miles that young you rang up 382 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 3: on the odometer, but I guess that seems too intrusive 383 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 3: right now people get upset. So now they're just going 384 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 3: to say, oh, you're living there and you're working here, 385 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 3: Well we'll hide it in your mortgage payment. That's really 386 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 3: bad that's really evil. So will that's something to discuss 387 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 3: too when we come back. All right, you want to yes, 388 00:22:52,400 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 3: all right, how about just Alie, No birthday to you. 389 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 3: Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Deborah, Happy birthday 390 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 3: to you. 391 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 5: Yay. 392 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 7: That was lovely, John, Thank you so much. I feel 393 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 7: so honored because he hates to sing. 394 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: Well. 395 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 2: I don't know if that was singing exactly. 396 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 6: Wait, thank you. 397 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 2: That made my whole day. It's the only the only 398 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 2: time ever I'm not singing ever again. Wow, John, I 399 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 2: have to say, no, no, you're not playing that back. 400 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: I have a recording, no not, but we're gonna be. 401 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 2: We can't even burn recordings anymore, John, Thank you. 402 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 7: John brought me four vegan cupcakes. He did eat one 403 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 7: and he enjoyed it. And he brought me French fries 404 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 7: from in and Out and he sang, I mean, wow, now, no. 405 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 2: More than's been a nice friend. Thank you. 406 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI Am sixty. 407 00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 2: So I want to we cover this hour. 408 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 3: We covered this hour was that California has got another 409 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 3: massive budget deficit coming up for twenty twenty six, that 410 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 3: that Newsom has a tax for billionaires based on their wealth. 411 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 3: Taxing the wealth, not even their income for the year, 412 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 3: but their current total wealth, and that they have snuck 413 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 3: in some kind of vehicle miles traveled tax, which is 414 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 3: going to appear when you buy a house or a condo. 415 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 3: It's going to be part of your mortgage. They're going 416 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 3: to calculate how many miles you're going to be traveling 417 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 3: from that new house or apartment seriously, and then here's 418 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 3: what they spend the money on. In twenty eighteen, they 419 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 3: started a plan to build a new nine to one 420 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 3: to one system for the whole state. If you remember, 421 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 3: that was the camp fire. That was the fire that 422 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 3: ripped through Paradise. Eighty five people died, wiped out cell towers, 423 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 3: emergency communication and was shut off. So they worked on 424 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 3: a new nine to one one system and between twenty 425 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 3: nineteen and twenty twenty five. 426 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 2: This is. 427 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 3: Seven years, California paid four technology companies over four hundred 428 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 3: and fifty million dollars. It's called the next generation nine 429 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 3: to one to one system, a more advanced emergency communications tool, 430 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 3: enhanced location services, and new ways for the public to 431 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 3: communicate with first responders. Then the time came to turn 432 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 3: the system on. It doesn't work. Really, it doesn't work. 433 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 3: They switched on the new technology and they ran into 434 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 3: all kinds of disruptions. They stopped the rollout. The guy 435 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 3: who led the project is a man named Budge Courier, Yes, 436 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 3: a grown man named Budge. 437 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 2: He has quit the agency. 438 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 3: This is California OES Office of Emergency Services cal OES. Ultimately, 439 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 3: the agency decided to scrap the plan and go back 440 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 3: to the drawing board. This is after blowing four hundred 441 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 3: and fifty million dollars. They are now looking for new proposals. 442 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 3: They're going to listen to other vendors to build out 443 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 3: a second version of the system. It's going to cost 444 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 3: hundreds of millions of dollars. First one cost four hundred 445 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 3: and fifty million and it didn't work. So now they're 446 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 3: going to spend probably over five hundred million. Listen to 447 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 3: these quotes the Office of Emergency Services Chief Deputy Lisa Mangett. 448 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 3: I'll be the first to tell you that we don't 449 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 3: always get it right. But the status quo is not 450 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 3: an option. We don't always get it right. Seven years, 451 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 3: four hundred and fifty million. Here's another one. A spokeshole 452 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 3: named Anita Gore. Like any large scale, complex infrastructure project, 453 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 3: especially one that must maintain uninterrupted nine to one one 454 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 3: service for forty million Californians, we've encountered challenges that require 455 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 3: us to proceed thoughtfully and deliberately. 456 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 2: Boy, isn't that a pile of horse manure. 457 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 3: We're taking the time to get this right, working closely 458 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 3: with our public safety partners to ensure the system meets 459 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 3: the high standards Californians deserve. We're taking our time to 460 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 3: get it right. It was seven years and four hundred 461 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 3: and fifty million, and they're going to be redoing exactly 462 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 3: what they've already built. 463 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 2: I'm not making this up. So who got wealthy? 464 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 3: Who are the companies who designed the first system that 465 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 3: didn't work? They took hundreds of millions of dollars. They're 466 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 3: laughing their asses off. The money is gone, and we 467 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 3: don't have the new nine to one to one system. 468 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 3: We still have the one from twenty eighteen, which didn't 469 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 3: work at least not for up Paradise. It's hard to believe, 470 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 3: but it's easy to believe. Everything is just corrupt out there, 471 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 3: and no investigations will be done into the people who 472 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 3: own those companies and spent the money and what their 473 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 3: political connections were. All right, we're done for the day. 474 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 3: Mark Thompson's coming in right for Conway. Louke Penrose will 475 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 3: be in tomorrow here and we'll see on Monday.

It's about the State Parks Department admitting in 481 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 3: documents that they gave the Palisades attorneys that their policy 482 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 3: was to let a fire burn in Topanga State Park, 483 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 3: just north of the Palisades. The fire started in Topanga. 484 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 3: The policy was to let it burn, not making it up. 485 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 3: You listen to the show on the podcast.
