50
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: Idea Initiative a game changer in California to restore the

51
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: integrity of our elections and to really light a fire

52
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: under politicians to hold them accountable for us.

53
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 3: We the people.

54
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: So let's get into today's show. I want to talk

55
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 2: a little bit more about Proposition fifty and I want

56
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: to talk a bit more about what we're trying to

57
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 2: do at Reform California. This is the political movement that

58
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,559
Speaker 2: I lead. It's a grassroots movement. We believe that the

59
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: two political parties have failed us. We believe that our

60
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: political system is fundamentally corrupt, and that in order to

61
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: make progress on any issue, whether it's the cost of

62
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: living or wild land fire or crime or homelessness or

63
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: improving the quality of schools, in order to make progress

64
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: on all the problems that we're faced with, we must

65
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: reform the broken political system we have. I don't believe

66
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: that we have a true opposition party in California. Oh.

67
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: I'm a member of the Republican Party and I serve

68
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: as a Republican state legislator. But I am inside the

69
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: belly of the beast, and I'm telling you there is

70
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: no real opposition party in Sacramento. It's been more of

71
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 2: a UNI party. Now that is changing, and I appreciate

72
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: a lot of my colleagues actually.

73
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: Joining the fight that we're waging.

74
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: But we cannot assume that the elected officials, even on

75
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 2: the Republican side, are going to fight for us. We

76
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: must force them to fight for us by creating this

77
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: grassroots movement.

78
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: That's what Trump did with MAGA.

79
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 2: I believe we must use similar dynamics here in California.

80
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: And I don't necessarily think that it's just going to

81
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: be Republican. I am thrilled when a Democrats or an

82
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: independent voter joins our fight. Any commitment to common sense,

83
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: that's what's going to be needed in order for us

84
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: to move the needle here in California. So I would

85
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: like you to check out our website, Reform California dot org.

88
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: news that you won't get from the liberal media that's

89
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,479

97
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: And of course I have my own podcast.

00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: Every day on YouTube, Reform California with Carl Demayo. Follow

99
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: that and you'll get an update every day at five

100
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: o'clock on a hot story, the latest happenings in California

101
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: news and politics. So Prop fifty we have a special election.

102
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: You have to get your ballot in by November fourth.

103
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: Prop fifty is Gavin Newsom's corrupt redistricting scheme. We covered

104
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: it yesterday, but I want to talk a little bit

105
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: about where we are with ballot returns, because this is

106
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: the fight of our lives. We have a two front

107
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: war for fair elections. You need obviously the Voter Ide

108
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: initiative that I've authored and that we're collecting signatures on,

109
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: and you can get all that information at voterid initiative

110
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: dot com, including printing and signing the petition.

111
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 3: But you also need to have fair districts.

112
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: You can't let the politicians seize the power back from

113
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: the people, the citizens independent Redistricting Commission to then manipulate

114
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: the lines of their districts. Because if you let politicians

115
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: manipulate election lines, they end up choosing the voters versus

116
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: the voters choosing the politicians. It is corrupt, it is

117
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: anti democratic. It literally silences large swaths of voters. So

118
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 2: it is completely and utterly wrong.

119
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 3: It is unfair.

120
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: I have to chuckle at the rhetoric that Newsom is

121
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: using and even some voters that are saying, I'm voting

122
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: for your Prop fifty because I need to save democracy,

123
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: what by destroying it in order.

124
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: To save democracy. We must kill it in order to

125
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: stop Trump. We need to basically do all the things

126
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: that we accuse Trump of doing.

127
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: Texas is rigging their elections, so we should rig ours too. Wait.

128
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: Wait, so two wrongs make it right? Now?

129
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: You learned it in kindergarten that that's not the case,

130
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: and I'm telling you, your children are watching you. The

131
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: ends don't justify the means. Ever, don't cut off your

132
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: nose despite your face and what you're doing by voting

133
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: yes on Prop fifty. If you are voting yes, and

134
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: tell your friends this is you know you're doing something wrong.

135
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: But I think that it's morally acceptable to do something

136
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: wrong because you're trying to do something right down the line.

137
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 3: What you're doing is.

138
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: You're getting rid of the gold standard in how we

139
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: should be drawing lines in California, which is, don't let

140
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: the politicians draw the lines.

141
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: It should be the citizens, not the politicians. And I've

142
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: seen it up close and personal.

143
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: They literally traded their votes in Sacramento, literally traded their

144
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: votes for congressional districts, politicians saying, oh, I'll vote for

145
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: a redistricting scheme as long as I get a district

146
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: for myself that's the corruption of jerry mandering. It's not

147
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: about you, the voter or the voice of the community.

148
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: It's about their political.

149
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 3: Careers coming up.

150
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you ballot return numbers and I'm

151
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 2: gonna tell you why it doesn't look good for Republicans

152
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 2: right now.

153
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: But it's still fixable.

154
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: We can still win this fight, but it's going to

155
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: take a big push by all of you. Plus, I

156
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: want you to stay tuned because we're going to have

157
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: both leading Republican candidates for California governor on the show today.

158
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 2: Steve Hilton's joining us at one point thirty and Riverside

159
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: Sheriff Chad Bianco is joining us at two o'clock. And

160
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: I'll ask them tough questions. I'll let them make the

161
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: case to you, which do you prefer use the talkback

162
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: feature on the iHeartRadio app and let me know if

163
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: you have a preferred candidate right now for California governor

164
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: on the Republican side. All that and more, as Carl

165
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: Demyo Yours Truly fills in for John Cobelt on KFI

166
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 2: AM six forty.

167
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Coblt on demand from KFI AM

168
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 4: six forty.

169
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: We're talking about Prop fifty and we've got the fight

170
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: of our lives on our hands. This is the special

171
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: election November fourth, and I'm urging everyone return your ballot

172
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: right now. Do not wait until election day. That will

173
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 2: create long lines at polling centers. Conservatives vote on election day,

174
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: and that's why the Democrats have cut the number of

175
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: polling centers by eighty percent.

176
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: Democrats vote by mail.

177
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 2: They get their votes in early, and so that's why

178
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: their votes are not at risk of not being counted.

179
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 2: Do you know that if you walk your mail in

180
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: ballot in on election day it increases the risk it

181
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: won't be counted because your mail in ballot being walked

182
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: in on a to a polling center on election day

183
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: is put at the end of the counting process. It's

184
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: not counted on the same day that you cast it.

185
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: And so I would like you to mail your ballot

186
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: by five o'clock tomorrow night or return it to a

187
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: drop box either or well, I'm not trusting the mailing

188
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 2: the US Postal Service. See what we're gonna do is

189
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 2: we're gonna use the Postal Service. We're going to use

190
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 2: the dropbox, but we're going to verify we're going to

191
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: track it, and so you can go to the website

192
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: track my ballot dot org. Track my ballot dot org

193
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: to vote, buy mail by five o'clock tomorrow or dropbox

194
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: by five o'clock tomorrow, and then track your ballot at

195
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: trackmyballot dot org to make sure it was received and counted.

196
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 3: If your ballot's not received.

197
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 2: And counted by next week, the thirty first Halloween, I

198
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: want you to go and ask for a replacement ballot

199
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 2: at one of the polling centers and vote before election day.

200
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 2: You're entitled to a replacement ballot if you mail it

201
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: this week and it's not received and counted by the

202
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: thirty first.

203
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 3: Look, we got to vote smart.

204
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: And right now I'm not seeing enough Republicans voting in

205
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: the election for Prop fifty against fifty. They're not returning

206
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: their ballot in the Prop fifty question, and my hope

207
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 2: is that you're all voting no.

208
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: There are twenty two.

209
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: Million twenty three million now registered voters in the state

210
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: of California. Twenty three million registered voters, and of that

211
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: twenty three million, about ten point four million are Democrats,

212
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: about six point nine million are Independents, and five point

213
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 2: eight million are Republican. But in terms of who's return

214
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: ballots so far, Democrats are overperforming and Republicans are not

215
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: performing well enough. So of the two point six million

216
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: ballots return so far, which is about eleven percent turnout,

217
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: we are seeing fifty one percent of the ballots being

218
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: returned by Democrats and only twenty eight percent of the

219
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 2: ballots being returned by Republicans. That means that Democrats are

220
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: outperforming their voter registration share by about six percent. Republicans

221
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: are only outperforming their voter registration share by three percent. Republicans,

222
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 2: you gotta pick up the pace and return your ballots.

223
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: And there are, as I said, five point eight million Republicans.

224
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 2: If all of them vote no Prop fifty will be

225
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 2: defeated because Democrats in a midterm election a special election

226
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: don't one turnout. You know, voter registration might give them

227
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: an advantage, but turnout is everything in special elections, and

228
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: Democrats have a hard time turning out their cemetery votes

229
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: in special elections. Something about dead people and special elections

230
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: they just don't quite go go hand in hand. I

231
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: know I'm joking, but not entirely. We need everyone to

232
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: return their ballot now do fight til election day. Turnout

233
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: is not good enough on the Republican side, and right now,

234
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: the polling show that Newsom is getting about fifty percent

235
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: yes vote, Republicans are about forty four percent no vote,

236
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 2: and the rest are undecided. But the silver lining here,

237
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 2: while we're down by you know, six points, five points,

238
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: the silver lining is that some of the yes vote

239
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: that Newsom currently has at the fifty percent mark are.

240
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: Very weak voters.

241
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 2: They're inclined to vote yes, but they haven't quite decided yet,

242
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: and so they could change your mind. And that's why

243
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: I'm giving you the message points. As you engage with

244
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: friends and family about Prop fifty, I need you to

245
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: point out to them that the ends don't justify the means,

246
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: that by voting yes on Prop fifty, you're giving up

247
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: the gold standard, You're handing the power back to the politicians,

248
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: that two wrongs don't make a right. Don't cut off

249
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: your nose to spite your face, because these the five

250
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: or six percentage points of yes votes that Newsom has

251
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: right now that are kind of squishy, weak on the fence,

252
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: could be persuaded. They are fair people, and they know

253
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: that what they're doing is wrong, but they really don't

254
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: want to dwell on it. I need you to get

255
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: them to really reconsider and point out the obvious that

256
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: you know what you're doing is wrong. You know you're

257
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: ringing the election. You know that you're silencing communities. You

258
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: know what you're doing is going to create unfair districts.

259
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: So why are you doing it? Fair minded people? While

260
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: they might initially say I'm going to vote yes, if

261
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: you cause them to pause and weigh the moral question here,

262
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: what's right, what's fair, they will ultimately.

263
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: Break. In my opinion, towards now. This is still a

264
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: fight we can win. We are down.

265
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: I am worried as heck, which is why I need

266
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: you to return your ballot now. Do not wait and

267
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: get a bunch of your friends to vote as well.

268
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 3: Don't count on them to vote. They get busy, they forget.

269
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: Get them to return their ballot now.

270
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: Bank the vote now, and talk to some of those

271
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: Democrat and independents that might be yes right now and

272
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: nudge them with a moral argument.

273
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 3: Carl Tomayo here.

274
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,000

276
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: I'm keeping the seat warm. And I want you to

277
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,760

00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: Coming up, we're going to talk to Steve Hilton, Republican

00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: candidate for governor.

Speaker 3: What's his plan to win? Could he win? I think so?

283
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: But we'll also talk to his opponent, Chad Bianco at

296
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 2: And I say yes, It will require two things. Number one,

297
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: it requires California voter ID. We've got to get voter

298
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: D enacted to have a fair election. So if you

299
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,159

Speaker 2: run a really good campaign. And so today I want

307
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: to turn our attention to the governor's race in twenty

308
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: twenty six. There are two leading candidates on the Republican

309
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 2: side for governor, Steve Hilton, Fox News Comment and Chad Bianco,

310

Speaker 2: your feedback who you're going to vote for, who should

314
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: we support reform California. It will make an endorsement in

315
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: this race because I want to make sure we get

316
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: at least one Republican into the runoff in the twenty

317
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: twenty sixth general election. Joining me on KFI AM six

318
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: forty is Steve Hilton, our first candidate for governor.

319
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: Steve, thanks so.

320
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: Much, and by the way, thanks for joining me on

321
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: this bus tour we've been on statewide collecting senatures for

322
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 2: voter ID and rallying the no on Prop fifty.

323
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 3: Cause.

324
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 5: Well, it's great to be with you today, Carlin. Fantastic

325
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 5: to see you over the weekend. Look, we've got a

326
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 5: fight for this state and exactly as you said, I mean,

327
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 5: we've got this battle right now on Prop fifty. We've

328
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 5: got to defeat Gavin Newsom's on constitutional election rigging scheme.

329
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 5: I've been in the courts trying to stop that as well,

330
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,239
Speaker 5: so we don't weigh three hundred million dollars of our

331
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 5: money on it. And then the big one is vote

332
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 5: for ID, exactly as you say, because it's not just

333
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 5: about stopping them cheating. It's also about getting the big

334
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 5: turnout we need for the election next year to take

335
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 5: back our state and put California back on the right track.

336
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 5: And people want the change. I mean there's a majority

337
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 5: now in California, a sizable majority of people who want change,

338
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 5: sixty five percent. You made this point when we were

339
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 5: together over the weekend, sixty five percent of Californians say

340
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 5: that we're going in the wrong direction. Now we can say, like,

341
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 5: who are the rest of the people who think we're

342
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 5: going in the right direction? When we got these insane

343
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 5: policies that have given us the highest gas prices, highest

344
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 5: cost for everything, housing, you name it, the highest how,

345
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 5: the highest electric bills, worst unemployment rate, worst poverty rate, crime, homelessness,

346
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 5: everything's a disaster in California. Of course, we need to

347
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 5: go in a new direction, but we've got to get

348
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 5: people to turn out and vote for it. That's what

349
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 5: my campaign is all about. Positive, simple things that people

350
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 5: can get behind. Three dollars gas, cut your electric bills

351
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 5: in half, a home you can afford, no more free

352
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 5: healthcare for illegal immigrants. That money should be spent in

353
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 5: better ways. You know, there are so many things that

354
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 5: we need to change, but they're all practical, common sense things.

355
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 5: And the final thing I'll say, Carl is some people

356
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 5: may know me from the TV. I was on Fox

357
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 5: News for many years. Most of my career has been

358
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 5: in business. I've started and run companies both sides of

359
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 5: the Atlantic. I'm originally from the UK, moved here with

360
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 5: my wife and twusns in twenty twelve, became an American

361
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty one. But you know, I've been a

362
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,719
Speaker 5: small business owner. I know the pain of that in California,

363
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 5: the struggles of small businesses, and I had to fix that.

364
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 5: And I've worked inside of a government. I was. I

365
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 5: helped elect a prime minister in the UK. I was

366
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 5: senior advisor in ten Downing Street battling the bureaucracy. So

367
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 5: I got the business experience, the government reform experience, and

368
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 5: the media platform, and I think that's a good combination

369
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 5: to fight and win here in California.

370
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 2: So it's a blue state, it's a blue state. What's

371
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 2: your plan to way? How are you going to defy

372
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: the odds? What do you bring to the table, what's

373
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: your strategy to eke out the win.

374
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 5: It's very simple. We've got a fight for the people

375
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 5: who've been most hurt by this fifteen years of one

376
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 5: party rule that's given us this totally corrupt system in

377
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 5: California where the rich get richer and regular working people

378
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 5: get screwed. That's what's going on in California. And I

379
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 5: think that what we're going to build here. And this

380
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 5: is the way we win is the kind of coalition

381
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 5: that you saw around the country that put President Trump

382
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 5: in office, especially this time round, which is a multi racial,

383
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 5: working class coalition, working people who are just getting absolutely

384
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 5: hammered by these costs gas prices. You know, regular people

385
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 5: are driving their trucks and their cars two, three, four

386
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 5: hours a day because housing costs are so high, you

387
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 5: have to live miles away from where you work. That's

388
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 5: why the first pledge that I made was we get

389
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 5: to roll back the climate nonsense that the Democrats have

390
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 5: put in. So we consider five dollar gas, which we

391
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 5: have now heading higher if projections are correct, three dollar gas.

392
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 5: That's something that will make an immediate difference to so

393
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 5: many people. We've got to cut the bills, the cost

394
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 5: that people pay if you run a small business, the

395
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 5: nightmare regulations, the lawsuits, these pager lawsuits. Anyone who runs

396
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 5: a restaurant or a bars, you're hit by these extortionate lawsuits.

397
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 5: As governor, I can stop that in its tracks. And

398
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 5: so I think the path to victory is a simple, positive,

399
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 5: pro worker plan that says we're going to make your

400
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 5: life better. We're going to deal with and restore the

401
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 5: California dream. That's really what it's about. A good job

402
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 5: where you make enough to raise your family in a

403
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 5: home of your own, in a safe neighborhood with a

404
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 5: good school so your kids have a better life. That's

405
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 5: what the theme of my campaign is, make California golden again.

406
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 5: We're the best place in the world. There's nowhere better

407
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 5: than California. But these people in fifteen years have just

408
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 5: completely wrecked. But we can get things back on track

409
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 5: pretty quickly. And it's all about that working class coalition,

410
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 5: Latinos in particular, the largest group now in California. They

411
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 5: can't stand what's going on, the assault on family values,

412
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 5: So what the nonsense in our public schools? All of

413
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 5: that stuff, I think is actually it's really ready for

414
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 5: the taking. But I do want to come back to

415
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 5: vote tridcon.

416
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 2: Wait hold on, yeah, we have to take a check

417
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: to take take a ticket, check on traffic and some news.

418
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 2: But I want to hold you over another segment because

419
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 2: I think part of it is not just can you

420
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: win a general election, which we would love to get

421
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: a Republican to win, but the grassroots have been burned

422
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 2: by sellout rhinos in the past people who let us down.

423
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 2: So I want you to make the case as to

424
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: why you are better than any.

425
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 3: Other Republican running.

426
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 2: But we have to check on traffic, so and news,

427
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 2: so just hold your hold your jets. Right there, we're

428
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 2: going to be talking with Steve Hilton, candidate booking candidate

429
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: for California Governor. It's Carl Tomayo, sombing member and Reform

430
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: California Chairman, sitting in today for John Cobelt on kf

431
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 2: I AM six forty. Coming up, we'll talk more with

432
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: Steve Hilton.

433
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

434
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 4: six forty.

435
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 2: Carl Demayo filling in for John Cobolt. We're talking to

436
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 2: Steve Hilton, Republican candidate for governor. Can a Republican actually

437
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 2: win the governor's race in twenty twenty six?

438
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 3: I believe so.

439
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 2: But it's going to take California voter ID and you

440
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 2: need to sign the initiative at voter id initiative dot com,

441
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 2: download it, print it, mail it back after signing it

442
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 2: to us. But also the right candidate, someone who's got

443
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: a great message and is going to work hard and

444
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: then not sell us out. When they get into office.

445
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: Steve Hilton on that question, a lot of Republicans have

446
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 2: been burned by previous elected officials like Arnold Schwarzeneger. How

447
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 2: would you be different? How can you speak to voters

448
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: on the Republican side or the center right as to

449
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 2: why you should be the Republican nominee? Why should you

450
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 2: be chosen over other good Republicans.

451
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, on the sellout point, I mean, Carl,

452
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 5: people going to look at my track record, unlike most candidates,

453
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 5: so there's years of there's more than enough of me

454
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 5: on the record on these issues, and people can see

455
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,959
Speaker 5: how consistent I've been and the positions I've taken, and

456
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 5: it's all there on all the big issues. But I

457
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 5: think that in terms of both winning and then doing

458
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 5: a good job for me, it's not necessarily about the

459
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 5: difference in oppositions. You're going to hear from Chad later on.

460
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 5: We pretty much agree on the policy matters mostly, you know,

461
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 5: I'm on the road, I've done events with him. We

462
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 5: have a good relationship. Talk to Chad on the phone.

463
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 5: It's not about that. I mean, we may have light disagreements,

464
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 5: I think, you know, for example, on immigration, he's been

465
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 5: you know, he's put some distance between you know, the

466
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 5: president's position on mimigration enforcement and the role of his

467
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 5: deputies and so on. But generally speaking, I think we're

468
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 5: on the same page on most of the big issues.

469
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 5: I think that what I would say positively in terms

470
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 5: of what I offer is that combination of business experience,

471
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 5: government reform experience across a broad range of policies, not

472
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 5: just one issue, but all of the big issues that

473
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 5: a governor will have to handle. And thanks to my

474
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 5: years at Fox News and involvement in politics in America,

475
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 5: a set of national level relationships that will really help

476
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 5: us here in California, both in terms of winning the

477
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 5: election and then in terms of helping California's I mean,

478
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 5: you just look at who was there for me on

479
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 5: day one of my campaign endorsing me for governor from

480
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 5: you know, Charlie Kirk, a good friend of mine for

481
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 5: nearly ten years. Of course we miss him terribly, but

482
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 5: you know, he was very committed to not just personally

483
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 5: supporting me, but using turning point, they've done a great

484
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 5: job in developing voter turnout operations that help the president.

485
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 5: Bringing that to California for my race. You've got, you know,

486
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 5: viv Ramaswami, Kevin Kyleie, John Voight representing Hollywood. And then

487
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 5: just just look at the administration. You know when I'm

488
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 5: when I'm governor, we'll have a governor that is you know,

489
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 5: it's friends with the President, friends with half the cabinet,

490
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 5: Brooke Rollins for our egg industry, Sean Duffy, Pete Haigzeth Tolsi, Gabbard.

491
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 5: You know, Doug Berger Interir is going to make a

492
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 5: huge difference for us in California. I've got those relationships

493
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 5: and I think that's what's going to make the difference here.

494
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 5: And I think you need someone in this race who

495
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 5: cannot only get the grassroots mobilized with a clear, common

496
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 5: sense conservative message here in California, but can play on

497
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 5: the national stage. This is a big race and we

498
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 5: need a big figure to win, and I'm very confident

499
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 5: I can pull it off. It's not going to be easy,

500
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 5: but it's not impossible, and that means we have to

501
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 5: go for it.

502
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: Tell me where people can go to get more information,

503
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 2: perhaps contribute to your campaign, or volunteer and get involved.

504
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 5: Thank you, Carl, Thank you very much. That's what we

505
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 5: need to build a volunteer army. We're doing that right now.

506
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 5: Steve Hilton for Governor dot Com f O R. Steve

507
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 5: Hilton for Governor dot Com. Would love anyone and everyone

508
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 5: to get involved. As I said, I think we can

509
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 5: do this, but it's going to be all of us.

510
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 5: And as you always say, it's a grassroots movement that's

511
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 5: going to do this for California. That's what we need

512
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 5: to build.

513
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 2: All right, Steve Hilton, Republican candidate for a governor. We

514
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: will be catching up with you as you make progress

515
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: on the campaign trail. And as Steve just mentioned, Chad Bianco,

516
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,719
Speaker 2: his opponent, not really his opponent, his fellow Republicans seeking

517
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: your support in the nomination in the primary. We'll be

518
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: with us right after two o'clock to make his case.

519
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 2: We are very equal here. We want to give you

520
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: both leading candidates and let you decide. Please do sound

521
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 2: off in the iHeartRadio app the talk back feature, let

522
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: me know who you're supporting and raise any questions you

523
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 2: might have about these candidates. At Reform California, we hope

524
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 2: to narrow the field down to one candidate by issuing

525
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 2: an endorsement. Working for that candidate because Republicans don't have

526
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 2: the money to fight in a primary against each other,

527
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 2: and worse, because we have a broken election system in

528
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: California where it is possible that Republicans split the vote

529
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: and then two Democrats would go into the runoff in

530
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: the general election, and then you're given a choice in

531
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: the general election of two Democrats, which is choose to

532
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: be hung or shot. I mean, it's just you don't

533
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: have a choice, it's two liberals. I'd like to make

534
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: sure we get at least a Republican in the runoff,

535
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 2: and I want the strongest Republican that we can trust

536
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: to fight for us and run the best campaign to

537
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 2: potentially win.

538
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 3: And yes, I do believe.

539
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: It's Wina them, But as I mentioned, it takes the

540
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: right candidate, and it takes California Voter ID. So you

541
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 2: know what, if you're not willing or ready to commit

542
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: to one candidate or the other right now, you can

543
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: help any of the candidates out from Congress down to

544
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 2: state Assembly, to state Senate, to school board and to

545
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 2: governor just by making sure we get the California Voter
