Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio App.

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: I am Carl Demayo, State assembly Member, chairman of Reform

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 2: California and overall troublemaker for corrupt politicians in California. I'm

00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: the next three days, and I'm.

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 3: Eager to hear from you.

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 2: Would love to hear your thoughts on issues, particularly the

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: Prop fifty special election, as well as our California Voter

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: ID initiative campaign, the signature drive that I'm currently leading

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: statewide to get a million signatures to put that initiative

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: on the ballot. But any topic that is of concern

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: to you sound off.

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 3: Of course.

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: You know, we have our iHeartRadio app and that's where

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: if you miss anything on the shows that I'm hosting

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: this week for John, you can catch up on the podcast.

18
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: They're posted every day right after four pm. But you also,

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: hopefully with this Amazon Web outage that we've been experiencing,

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: hopefully you can use the iHeartRadio app talkback feature to

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: send me a question or give me a thought or

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: a take on the issues that we're going to be

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: talking about, and we will get to as many of

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: those throughout our show today, tomorrow and Wednesday, as I'm

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: sitting in for John as many of those as possible.

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 3: We're going to talk about Prop fifty.

27
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: We have some alarming data that I want to share

28
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: with you. We are really on the ropes. We are

29
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 2: down by about five percentage points right now. There's still

30
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: a pretty big chunk of undecided voters. But Gavin Newsom

31
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: right now is hovering around fifty percent for his corrupt

32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: redistricting scheme with Prop fifty. The Yes side in the

33
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: tracking polling that I'm seeing is going from you know,

34
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: fifty one percent to fifty two percent to forty nine

35
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: percent of fifty percent. They're kind of bumping along, and

36
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: a good percentage of his support. Newsom's support for his

37
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: redistricting scheme. It's pretty weak, so it can be peeled away,

38
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: but with every passing moment as people return their ballots,

39
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: the cement is hardening. So I'm gonna be talking in

40
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: this hour about the best arguments to use with your

41
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: friend's family, neighbors, coworkers, third cousins, twice removed. I need

42
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: you to get active and vocal and communicate because word

43
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 2: of mouth marketing is literally what moves the needle. Everyone

44
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: has seen Gavin Newsom's TV ads. He's put one hundred

45
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: million dollars on TV.

46
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: They're nauseating.

47
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: They feature Barack Obama, all sorts of lies. Trump is awful.

48
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: If you if you don't like Trump, you know, get

49
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: back at them by voting yes. Of course that's the scam.

50
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: The scam is use the hatred of Trump to give

51
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 2: the politicians, or to get the politicians exactly what they want,

52
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: which is the power back. So if you're thinking TV

53
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: ads are going to move the needle, no Plus, I'm

54
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: gonna share with you the ad that Reform California just

55
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 2: issued today. We weren't supposed to put a TV ad out,

56
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: but the No campaign, run by a bunch of incompetent,

57
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: grifting political consultants, have put together ads that are so weak,

58
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: so ineffective, that they might as well just have burnt

59
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: the money in the middle of the street. And so

60
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: we decided to put an ad together which I will

61
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: share with you for the No on Prop fifty side.

62
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: And of course it is on my social media channels

63
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: at Carl Tomayo on Twitter and Facebook. So let's jump

64
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: right into it. We have uh oh, and the other thing,

65
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: where am I broadcasting from? I mentioned I'm doing the

66
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: statewide petition drive for the California Voter ID initiative. We're

67
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: getting a million signatures on the California Voter ID Initiative

68
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: and many of you have probably already received a mailer

69
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: from me with a petition inside. We sent it out

70
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: in a handwritten number ten envelope. It said time sensitive

71
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: open immediately. Hopefully you saw that in your mailbox. Hopefully

72
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: it got your attention. We did one point five million

73
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 2: handwritten letters with the petition inside. But if you missed

74
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 2: out on that, you can always sign the petition by

75
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 2: downloading it, printing it, signing it, and mailing it back

76
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: to me by going to the website Voteridinitiative dot com

77
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: Voter ID Initiative dot com.

78
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: I'd also like you to.

79
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: Request a petition kit so you can get additional signatures

80
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: from friends and family and neighbors. You can click under

81
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: a volunteer at that same website, voter Initiative dot com.

82
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 2: But where am I broadcasting from today? I'm in San Jose,

83
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: that's right. I am standing around the gates of Hell

84
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: the Bay Area. No, I am not going into San

85
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: Francisco proper. I would probably end up contracting a communical

86
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: bowl disease or getting knifed by some criminal. Cause that's

87
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 2: just like hell, okay, that is just you know, yeah,

88
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: not step in foot in San Francisco. Plus, I don't

89
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: think there's a whole lot of people in San Francisco

90
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 2: proper that are going to sign the California Voter ID petition,

91
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: and even less are willing to vote no on Prop fifty.

92
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 2: So we are doing seventy two events in thirty days.

93
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: We kicked off this tour back on the fourth of October,

94
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: a bus tour statewide. Some of you might have already

95
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 2: been to one of my events. If you haven't been

96
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: to one of my events, please come. We have free

97
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: Yes on Prop fifty yard signs, and we've got the

98
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: California Voter I D Initiative that you can sign and

99
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: the petition kits that I just referenced for volunteers. Plus

100
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: we give you an update on the fight to take

101
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: back your state, and it's a fun time. Check out

102
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: the fullest of events at Voter ID Initiative dot com.

103
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 2: All right, so, let's jump right into it. We did

104
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: not think when we launched the campaign for the California

105
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: Voter ID Initiative in July that when we started signature

106
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 2: collection October first, that we would be in the middle of.

107
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 3: A two front war.

108
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: We thought we'd just be getting a million signatures on

109
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: the California Voter ID Initiative, and that's already hard enough.

110
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: But no, Gavin Newsom and the corrupt politicians of this

111
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: state have seen an opportunity to seize power from the people,

112
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 2: and they also are threatened by Voter ID. They see

113
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: voter ID as cleaning up the voter rolls and restoring

114
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 2: integrity or our elections, and so they're terrified. Their view

115
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 2: is if Voter ID passes and voters are still upset

116
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: about how bad things are in California, we're going to

117
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: lose our political power. And so what they decided to

118
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: do is concoct Prop fifty. Oh oh oh, you thought

119
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: Prop fifty was about Trump and Texas. Oh honey, don't

120
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: fall for it all right. This is just Trump and

121
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: Texas is just.

122
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: The window dressing.

123
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 4: It is just the the ruse, the excuse, the shiny

124
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 4: object diversion game for what they've always.

125
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: Wanted to do. They have never liked.

126
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: The Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission. They've always wanted the power

127
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: back from the people so that they can manipulate the

128
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: lines of their own districts. Remember they say it's temporary.

129
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: These are the same people who fought the creation of

130
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission in twenty ten.

131
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: These are the same.

132
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: People who've been lying in weight with emphasis on the

133
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: word lying, lying in wait for the moment, the opportunity,

134
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: the ruse to destroy the Citizens Redistricting Commission and seize

135
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: the power back.

136
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: Because here's the deal.

137
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: The politicians know in the state of California that voters

138
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: are shifting, And in a moment, I'm going to give

139
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: you some really exciting data sets.

140
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: I'm a data geek. I look at data.

141
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: I consume data, and every bit of data out there

142
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: is showing the same flashing warning for Democrats in California.

143
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: You're losing the voters. You're losing the grip on power.

144
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: Voters are shifting. I'll share with you in a moment

145
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: those data sets. But it is very clear that the

146
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: politicians saw that voters were shifting because the highest cost

147
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 2: of living in the nation, the homelessness crisis, the mismanaged

148
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: of the wildfires, the crime wave, the failing schools, the

149
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: job losses, all of the things that you suffer from

150
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: and are frustrated by. In California, the things that upset

151
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: you are now upsetting even Democrat voters, such that sixty

152
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: five percent of Californians and the latest pPIC poll the

153
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: Public Policy Institute of California, which is a pretty reputable poll,

154
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 2: sixty five percent of Californians now say the state is

155
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: on the wrong track. Do you understand in a state

156
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: that has so many Democrat voters, how many Democrats have

157
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: to come to the painful conclusion that their side is

158
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: causing a problem? Do you understand how hard of that is?

159
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: So Newsome in the politicians see this data. They see

160
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: that Trump flipped six counties to the red between twenty

161
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 2: twenty and twenty twenty four. They see that we just

162
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: picked up seats in the state legislature for the first time,

163
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: the greatest number of seats since nineteen eighty four in

164
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: the state legislature in a presidential cycle. And so Newsom

165
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: and the Democrats are saying, God, if we we have

166
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: two choices, fix the problem. Yeah, we're not gonna do that. No, no, no, no,

167
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: we're not gonna We're not gonna fix the problem.

168
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: You joking. No, we're not gonna turn over a new leaf.

169
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: What are are any.

170
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 2: Other options besides fixing problems because we're not in the

171
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: fixing problems business.

172
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 3: Oh that's when they said, I have an idea. I

173
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 3: have an idea. Let's jerrymander the.

174
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: District so that we can be, you know, devoid of accountability.

175
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: Let's not let the voters choose someone else.

176
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: Let's make the district so lopsided that we basically we

177
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: get the seat for the rest of our lives. Even

178
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: after we don't have a pulse. I'm looking at you,

179
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi. Even after we don't have a pulse, our

180
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 2: heart stops beating, we still are in office because we.

181
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 3: Jerrymand are the districts.

182
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: That's what Prop fifty is all about. Has nothing to

183
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: do with Trump or Texas.

184
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no, I hear you. But Carl, I

185
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 3: think it has something to do with Trump and Texas.

186
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 5: Well.

187
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: Coming up, I'm gonna give you the best response to

188
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: why Trump and Texas are not the reason to vote

189
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 2: yes on Prop.

190
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 5: Fifty, that it's all falsehoods, and I have the best

191
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 5: response to someone thinking about voting yes on Prop fifty

192
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 5: knowing it's probably wrong, but wanting to get back at Trump.

193
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to give that message to you. I want

194
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: you to share it. It's Carl Demyo sitting in for

Speaker 2: D Initiative Signature drive that I'm leading, or any challenge

203
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: your problem in the state of California that you want

204
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: me to weigh in on, please use the talkback feature

205
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 2: and we will play some of those shortly this this afternoon.

206
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: We're talking about Prop fifty and I uh just laid

207
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 2: out why I'm concerned that in the state of California

208
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: we are right now, the election we're held today, the

209
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: polling shows Newsom has like a five point edge and

210
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 2: given how the independent or the toss up vote undecided

211
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 2: vote breaks, he probably wins by fifty four to forty six,

212
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: maybe fifty five to forty five. But there's still time

213
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: to stop Gavin Newsom's corruptory districting scheme. There's still time

214
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: to convince people who right now are undecided or may

215
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: even be leaning towards the Yes vote to switch to no,

216
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: to break in the direction of no. And I want

217
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: to equip you with the best messages because it's not

218
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: like the TV that the No.

219
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: Side has been running is going to work.

220
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: Frankly, those political consultants need to be fired and never

221
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: hired again in politics. That's why Republicans lose in California

222
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 2: is that we have crappy consultants who grift. Every penny

223
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: that is raised for campaigns is wasted. And that's why

224
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: it reform California. Our model is grassroots activism. Neighbor telling neighbor,

225
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: friend telling friend, mom telling daughter, father telling son, colleague,

226
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: telling coworker.

227
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 3: You are powerful. I need you to use your.

228
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: Mouth and of course if you want your keyboard, but

229
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: I need you to spread the word. So here are

230
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: the message points to make about Prop fifty. First, Prop

231
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: fifty is wrong, and you know it. Prop fifty is

232
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: rigging the elections. Even Gavin Newsom and the Democrats who

233
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: wrote Prop fifty admit that they need to rig the

234
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: elections in California because Trump and Texas are rigging their elections.

235
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: They've admitted it, that's what they've said.

236
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: So don't let anyone think that a vote for Prop

237
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: fifty is somehow a righteous thing.

238
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 3: It's not.

239
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: At the very least. It is a wrong that the

240
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: ends justifies the means. We're gonna address that in just

241
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: a moment. But Prop fifty is rigging the election. And

242
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: what does that entail eviscerating something that is quite good,

243
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: and that is the citizen's redistricting Commission, people holding the

244
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: power to draw the lines, not the politicians. We have

245
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: the gold standard in California, the citizens Redistricting Commission. What

246
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna do with Prop fifty is we're going to

247
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: do eviscerat it. We're gonna eliminate it. And it's not temporary,

248
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: my friends. Once the politician sees power, they will never

249
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: give it back. Plain and they've never supported their independent

250
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: redistricting commissioned by citizens. And once they eliminate the commission.

251
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: They will never restore it. And then, of course take

252
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: a look at who gets hurt. You look at the maps,

253
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: and the maps are so unfair. They literally silence large

254
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: swaths of voters. Jerry Mandering at its essence, is silencing

255
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: blocks of voters, drowning them out so that your block

256
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: of voters wins. No matter what, it is undemocratic, it

257
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: is predatory. It literally victimizes communities, it silences them.

258
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: There is no justification for that. And I have to

259
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 3: laugh when people say I'm voting for you, Yes, I'm

260
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: Prop fifty to save democracy.

261
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: Oh, come on, you are not doing anything good for

262
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: democracy with Prop fifty.

263
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 3: In order to save democracy, we must kill it. That's

264
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: basically what you're doing. In order to stop Trump, we

265
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 3: must become Trump. According to your criticism.

266
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: Of him, everything these people are accusing Trump of doing,

267
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: they're absolutely doing themselves. Oh and the best thing is, well,

268
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: isn't Prop fifty just you know? You know Texas was

269
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: doing it first. Well, there's a big difference here. Number One,

270
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: Texas did not voluntarily decide to redraw their maps, which

271
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: is the big lie that Newsom and the liberal media

272
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: in California are telling us Texas was ordered by a

273
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: federal court to redo their maps, and the court case

274
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: that triggered that was filed with the support of Joe

275
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: Biden's administration.

276
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: You can't make this crap up. The Democrats did this.

277
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: The Democrats put Texas in a position where now they

278
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: have to redraw the map. Oh no, you don't hear

279
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 2: that from the lying liberal media out there because they're

280
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 2: part and parcel with the scam. Now, let me be clear.

281
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 2: The fact that Texas has to redraw their map and

282
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 2: Trump is saying, well, draw it so we get five

283
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: Republican seats. I think that's wrong, and I don't think

284
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: that the governor of Texas nor the legislature should be

285
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 2: drawing a map.

286
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 3: I've been consistent.

287
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 2: I believe we should tell them they should use the

288
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: California Redistricting Commission model. Every state should do citizens redistricting.

289
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 2: We should have no politicians drawing the lines. Now coming up,

290
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 2: I'm going to share with you the ad that Reform

291
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 2: California put together. We did it on a shoe string budget,

292
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: and I think it's quite effective, and I want you

293
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: to share the ad because we don't have any money

294
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: to really put it anywhere, but we can do viral marketing,

295
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 2: and I believe it is absolutely superior to what the

296
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: professional political class put together on the No side. Coming up, Plus,

297
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: I also want to tell you what people don't know

298
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: about the Redistricting Commission that I think might also move

299
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: votes from the Yes side to the No side.

300
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: All that and more.

301
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,040

Speaker 2: is underway. We need a million signatures. I'll tell you

314
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 2: what the initiative requires and why it's a game changer

315
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 2: in California, whether or not Prop fifty passes or fails.

316
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: Voter ID will be the milestone, the game changer that

317
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: we've been waiting for. And then, of course, at three o'clock,

318
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: I need to give a response to Gavin Newsom's shutting

319
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 2: down of the five Freeway over the weekend between Orange

320
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 2: County and San Diego across from Camp Pendleton, blaming it

321
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: on Donald Trump and now lying lying about somehow shrapnel

322
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: hitting vehicles on the freeway and therefore he was justified

323
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 2: in creating a massive bridge gate like traffic jam up.

324
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: That's coming up at three o'clock. But first let's return

325
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: to our conversation on no on Prop fifty. I am

326
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: appalled at how crappy the no on Prop fifty TV

327
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: ads are. The Republican consultants in the state of California

328
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: are the problem. They are incompetent, and they are corrupt,

329
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 2: and they steal money.

330
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 3: I'm just going to be very clear.

331
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 2: They waste money, they're only interested in commission checks a profit,

332
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: and they don't care about actually winning elections. What galls

333
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: me is the fact that the donors on the Republican

334
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: side continue to reward bad behavior like this and incompetence

335
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 2: and grift by hiring the same failed consultants.

336
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 3: Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat. It's awful.

337
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: So after seeing a bunch of lousy No on Prop

338
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: fifty ads and then the money dried up at Reform California,

339
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 2: we decided to put together an ad that we believe

340
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: nails it. Because here's what you have to do. If

341
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 2: you want to get some of those fifty percent Yes

342
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 2: voters to break away from Gavin Newsom, you've got to

343
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: meet them where they are. Most of the ones that

344
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 2: we can win don't like Trump, so we have to

345
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 2: meet them with the fact that they don't like Trump,

346
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: but we have to explain that the politicians are just

347
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: tapping into your dislike of Trump to get what they've

348
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 2: always wanted.

349
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 3: And we have to appeal to.

350
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: The fact that these are fair minded people. The ones

351
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: that are not fair minded, we're never going to win.

352
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 2: So they're already in the tank for Yes. But the

353
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 2: ones that could be peeled away from Yes to vote

354
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 2: No are truly good people. They're fair minded people, but

355
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 2: they think the ends justify the means, so you have

356
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: to you have to address that. So based upon that,

357
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: my team put together this ad and we spent are

358
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 2: you ready for it, all of like nine hundred dollars

359
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 2: in hard costs in putting this ad together, and it

360
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 2: features a real teacher, Nadin Ruela, a Latina teacher, a

361
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 2: real teacher, not a paid actor, basically articulating why someone

362
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: who may be leaning towards yes should naturally vote no.

363
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 2: It's cut one.

364
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 5: Why is it wrong to rig the election in California

365
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 5: if Texas is doing it too.

366
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 7: As a teacher, I often have to explain to kids

367
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 7: why two longs don't make a right and Prop fifty

368
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 7: is a perfect example. Politicians are using your hatred of

369
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 7: Trump to get what they want. Prop fifty takes power

370
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 7: away from you by desdrawing the independent citizens redistricting process,

371
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 7: and Prop fifty waste three hundred million dollars money that

372
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 7: should go to our schools. Rigging elections is wrong, and

373
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 7: two longs don't make a right, don't no, I'm Prop fifty.

374
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 3: So the first thing you have to do is you

375
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 3: have to frame the question.

376
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 2: If the question is do you like Trump or not

377
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 2: like Trump, we're going to lose this election because a

378
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: lot of California voters are so blinded and so fed

379
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 2: with misinformation that they hate Trump. So you have to

380
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: frame it from the question that if they seriously consider

381
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 2: it and answer, it will lead them to the no vote.

382
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: And that's why that child, the third grader, is asking,

383
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: why is it wrong for California to rig its election?

384
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 2: If Texas is already doing it? So you're already establishing, hey,

385
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 2: it's wrong, but why you know, you know, why is

386
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: it wrong if they're doing it? California is rigging the election.

387
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: That is not debatable in Prop fifty. There's nothing fair

388
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: about the maps. They are unfair by definition. They silence voters.

389
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 2: By definition, it's a jerrymannerd map drawn by politicians, So

390
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: why not do that? Why is it wrong for.

391
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 3: Us to do something wrong? If Texas is doing something wrong?

392
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: Then we transition into well, the politicians are using your

393
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: hatred of Trump to get what they've always wanted, and

394
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 2: two wrongs don't make it right. We also throw in

395
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: voters don't know that Prop fifty cost three hundred million

396
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 2: dollars in the middle of a budget crisis where they're

397
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 2: cutting education programs and social service programs.

398
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: That money could be better spent in the classroom. So

399
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 3: let's read run cut.

400
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 2: One so that you can really absorb the arguments, why

401
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 2: is it wrong to.

402
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 5: Rig the election in California if Texas is doing it too.

403
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 7: As a teacher, I often have to explain to kids

404
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 7: why two longs don't make a right and.

405
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: Prop fifty is a perfect example.

406
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 7: Politicians are using your hatred of Trump to get what

407
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 7: they want. Prop fifty takes power away from you by

408
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 7: destroying the independent citizens redistricting process, and Prop fifty waste

409
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 7: three hundred million dollars money that should go to our schools.

410
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 7: Rigging elections is wrong, and two longs don't make a right.

411
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 2: Don't no, I'm Prop fifty and you've got to see

412
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: it because it is a TV ads, is a visual ad,

413
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 2: It's a video ad.

414
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 3: You have to see it.

415
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 2: So check it out on my Twitter account, my Facebook account,

416
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 2: my Instagram account, at Carl Demyo, at Carl to Mayo,

417

Speaker 2: or at Carl Demyoca, or just check it out at

418
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 2: Reform California dot org and share it because well, we

419
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 2: don't have the big bucks that Gavin Newsome has, but

420
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 2: we have you and you can spread it far and

421
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 2: wide viral marketing. That is what we have to focus

422
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 2: on in the last two weeks. I just need to

423
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: make sure you have the right messaging and hit the

424
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: right points, and the ad is pretty simple if you

425
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 2: share it all right, Coming up, we're going to talk

426
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: about the corruption on the Republican side as to why

427
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 2: they didn't fight harder to defeat Prop fifty.

428
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 3: Again.

429
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: I'm not saying the goose is cooked. We still have

430
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: a shot to get it below fifty percent, but it's

431
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 2: gonna take everyone on our grassroots side doing the work,

432
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 2: not the professional consultants.

433
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna spill a little t and name a couple names.

434
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 2: Coming up, I'm Carl DeMaio filling in for John Cobolt

435
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 2: on KFI AM six forty.

436
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 6: You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM sixty.

437
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: You know me from my role maybe in the legislature,

438
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 2: but more likely from Reform California, the organization I chair,

439
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: and it leads me to discuss the incompetence and the grift,

440
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: the malfeasance, the fraud of Republican political consultants in California.

441
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: And that's why we're not winning Prop fifty right now.

442
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: But if we do win Prop fifty, it's going to

443
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: because you, the grassroots, spread the word, not because a

444
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: good campaign was run. By these grifting consultants who have

445
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 2: literally failed us.

446
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 3: I want to.

447
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 2: Remind you you can submit questions to me and I

448
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: will not flinch. I will answer any question because I

449
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 2: want you to know really what's going on. I don't

450
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 2: mind my p's and q's. I call balls and strikes,

451
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 2: even if it means Republicans are angry with me. Ask

452
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: your question the iHeartRadio app, the talk back feature, and

453
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 2: we're going to get as many of these in as possible.

454
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 2: I know we have one about why aren't Republican Party

455
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 2: officials doing more to stop Prop fifty.

456
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 8: Let's listen in Hi, Carl, this is Kelly and San Diego.

457
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 8: Thanks for all the hard work you're doing. Thanks for

458
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 8: sitting in for John Will he's gone. I'm interested in

459
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 8: what's being done on the national level to help us

460
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 8: here in California with Prop fifty. Where's the House and

461
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 8: the Senate? Where's Trump for that matter? Can you fill

462
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 8: us in on that? That'd be helpful. Thanks.

463
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 7: So.

464
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 2: I do know the President, when asked, makes calls for fundraising,

465
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 2: and his job is to raise my and I do

466
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 2: know that because Prop fifty is so partisan in California

467
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: that the decision has been not to involve Trump too much,

468
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 2: but I think at this point we got to go

469
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 2: for broke and I'd love the President to tweet and

470
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 2: weigh in, and I'm hoping he's going to do that

471
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 2: because we need to spike turnout for Republicans and he

472
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 2: needs a light of fire under their rear ends to

473
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: get the no votes out.

474
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 3: That being set, the Republican ay as a whole. Are

475
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 3: you thinking they're gonna come save us?

476
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 5: Oh?

477
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 2: Come on, have you not been paying attention to the storyline.

478
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: They have left us for dead, honey. They have literally

479
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 2: said that California is not savable, let it rot.

480
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 3: And I'm angry about that because here's the deal.

481
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 2: We have fifty two congressional seats and we're about to

482
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 2: lose five, and I think we probably could have gained

483
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: five if the Republican Party had least given you and

484
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 2: me some help, a little supply, a drop here and

485
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:43,239
Speaker 2: there for the freedom fighters behind enemy lines. So the

486
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: party is not gonna save us national.

487
