1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio apps. 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,719 Speaker 2: I really want you to continue to use the talkback 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 2: feature on the iHeartRadio app Some of your questions try 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 2: to stump me now, doubt. Please ask questions about the 6 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 2: issues that matter to you. Raise issues with me. Now 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 2: that I'm in the state legislature, behind the scenes, in 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 2: the belly of the beast, I'm able to kind of 9 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 2: give you the story behind the story and really expose 10 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 2: what's going on. Tomorrow, we're going to talk about the 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 2: insurance crisis. Why California politicians are profiting every time your 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 2: insurance rates go up. 13 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 3: Did you know that? 14 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: I didn't think you knew that, but you need to 15 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 2: know it. And that's why your politicians don't give a 16 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: rip about your insurance costs. And we offered a bill 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: Assembly Bill five sixty seven to cap the insurance rate increases. 18 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 2: Oh no, no, not not try to do price control. 19 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: No no, the insurance industry would be able to do 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: cost recovery. No, we were going to cap what you 21 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: had to pay and force the politicians to pay the 22 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: difference because their regulations, their bad policies, cause the spikes, 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: so they I believe, should pay the price for their failure. Oh, 24 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 2: we also get rid of the ability for them to 25 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: profit when your insurance rates go up. We'll explain it 26 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: all tomorrow and what we should all prepare for, because 27 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 2: this thing on the insurance market, it's going to get 28 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: a hell of a lot worse, a a lot worse. 29 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 2: Some people are going to be priced out of their 30 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 2: home because they will not be able to afford the 31 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 2: insurance rate increase. 32 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 3: It's all coming up tomorrow. 33 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: Later today, we have the conversation about why the fight 34 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: for Congress, the control of Congress, rolls through California. People say, well, 35 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: California doesn't matter. It's a blue state. Republicans shouldn't worry 36 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: about California. Just write it off. 37 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, no no. 38 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: California will decide who gets to be the House Speaker 39 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six, and if Democrats get the House majority, 40 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 2: Donald Trump in his last two years in office, his 41 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: agenda will be completely dead. So California matters in a 42 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: big way. We'll be talking about that, and I'll be 43 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: introducing you to one of our best recruited candidates to 44 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: flip a House seat in California. 45 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 3: Jim Desmond from San Diego. All right, I want to 46 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 3: cover this real quick. 47 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: You've seen Donald Trump issue executive order after executive order, 48 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: hit the ground running the first He's not even at 49 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: his one hundredth day in office. He's going to be 50 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: at day hundred next Wednesday, April thirtieth. 51 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 3: So day hundred is next week. 52 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: And he has already in one hundred days, done more 53 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 2: than most presidents do in eight years, at least arguably 54 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 2: four years. And the judges are falling all over themselves, 55 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: the liberal judges to stop them. 56 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 3: They can't stand what he's doing. 57 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 2: Now. Notice these judges never did this to the Democrats, 58 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: or are some of the milk toast Republicans that have 59 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: come and gone with no real impact positively to our country. 60 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: Judges never stopped Barack Obama from deporting illegal immigrants. 61 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 3: But Trump's getting you know, these. 62 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: Liberal judges issuing cease and desist temporary restraining orders injunctions 63 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: to stop him from doing his job as president. And 64 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 2: some of these executive some of these judge orders are absurd, 65 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: like Elon Musk, and Trump can't look at the spending 66 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: database of the federal government. Really, it's the president's job 67 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: to manage the federal budget. He's not allowed to look 68 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: at it. He's not allowed to look at the contract database. 69 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: He can't look at the grants that are being given out. Well, 70 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: of course, the Supreme Court said absolutely he can't. Or 71 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: how about this, Donald Trump can't fire government employees. You 72 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: can't even offer them voluntary buyouts. Judge ordered that, and 73 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 2: then of course it was reversed. Today a judge, two 74 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: judges did something stupid, as these liberal judges do. The 75 00:04:52,760 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: first judge issued an order, Judge Kolar Kotelli said that 76 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: Trump's order seeking federal agencies to enforce any federal authorities 77 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: that they have to require citizenship documentation in order to 78 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 2: vote in federal elections. Judge Kohler Coutelli blocked it and 79 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 2: said the President and the executive branch the Department of 80 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: Justice cannot enforce existing law as it relates to citizenship verification. 81 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: This judge said, if we want to do citizenship verification, 82 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 2: Congress should pass a law requiring that you're a citizen 83 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: in order to vote. I'm not joking you, my friends, 84 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: this is what the judge is saying. The judge is 85 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 2: saying that apparently we need Congress to pass the law, 86 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: saying that in order to vote in America, you need 87 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 2: to be a US citizen. Did she get her law 88 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 2: degree at Crackerjack Box, one of those online universities. This 89 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 2: judge ought to be impeached tomorrow, remove her from the bench. 90 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 3: The law of the land is crystal clear. 91 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 2: In order to vote, you have to be a citizen, period, 92 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: full stop. Congress does not need to pass a damn thing. 93 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 2: It's in the US Constitution. It is a requirement of 94 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: federal law already. But no, this judge is like, no, no, no, 95 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 2: don't do that. 96 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 3: Boy. That's crazy bit. 97 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: You're talking crazy Trump wanting only citizens to vote in elections. 98 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: How dare you? I'm so offended you. 99 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: You're breaking the law. You are you are destroying our constitution. 100 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: Here's another one. We got another judge appointed by BARACKO 101 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,799 Speaker 2: by the way, another judge that has said that Trump 102 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: does not have the ability to cut off discretionary grants 103 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: to sanctuary cities. This is California judge, Federal Judge William Orrick, 104 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: who's an Obama appointee. Big old liberal has been struck 105 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 2: down consistently. He says, quote, the cities and counties have 106 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 2: demonstrated a likelihood of an irreparable harm. Wait wait, irreparable harm. 107 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 2: What they're saying is, if Trump doesn't give us discretionary 108 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: federal grants, we're going to be harmed. How about your 109 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: sanctuary policies. You think those are harmful? How many crime 110 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 2: victims do we need to have by you shielding illegal 111 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: immigrant criminals from being deported. Just release them back on 112 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: the streets they commit crimes again, more crime victims. 113 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 3: How about the irreparable harm there? 114 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: Judge oric, why don't we put some of these illegal 115 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: immigrant criminals in your backyard? The judge went on to rule, quote, 116 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: the threat to withhold funding causes irreparable injury in the 117 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: form of budgetary uncertainty. Budgetary uncertainty, Oh my goodness. We 118 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 2: wouldn't want government bureaucrats to be uncertain about their budget 119 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 2: because they're shielding illegal immigrant criminals. No, no, no, we 120 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 2: want them to be certain that they can do that 121 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: and still builk federal taxpayers for discretionary federal law enforcement grants. 122 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 3: That's right. 123 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 2: We wouldn't want those bureaucrats in California cities that are 124 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: sanctuary cities't want them to worry about their budget. By golly, 125 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 2: that would be terrible. What stress we're putting in their life. 126 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, they might need a comfort pony. They 127 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 2: might have grief plato that they're gonna have to need 128 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 2: as they worry about. I don't know why Trump is 129 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: threatening the money for my city because I'm not cooperating 130 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 2: with federal law enforcement. But I think I should get 131 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 2: federal law enforcement grants. They go on to say that 132 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: by not giving discretionary Department of Justice law enforcement grants 133 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: to sanctuary cities that it quote is a deprivation of 134 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 2: constitutional rights. Wait wait, now, the cities have a constitutional 135 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 2: right to get money from the federal government. 136 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: And then say I'm not going to cooperate. Cooperate with you. 137 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 2: Judge Oric, just rip up your stupid law degree right now, 138 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 2: just just rip up, no certificate on you know those 139 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 2: black robes. Just tournament, baby. You are an absolute embarrassment. 140 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 2: This is a guy that needs to be impeached by 141 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 2: the Congress. Hey, Republicans, I get it. He's probably not 142 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 2: going to get impeached in the Senate. Boh, make him 143 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 2: historically famous. Do an impeachment resolution impeach them, force a 144 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: trial in the Senate, impeach all these judges in mass, 145 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 2: and force a trial. Then the judge writes in his 146 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: order saying sanctuary cities should continue to get unlimited money, 147 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 2: says that if Trump is able to cut off the 148 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 2: money to sanctuary cities, that it would quote undermine trust 149 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 2: between the cities and counties and the communities they serve. Oh, 150 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: all right, now you're offending me. You know what undermines 151 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 2: trust between cities and counties and the communities they serve, 152 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: shielding violent criminals and releasing them onto the streets rather 153 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 2: than deporting them and keeping communities safe. You want to 154 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: talk about undermining trust between citizens and the government, shield 155 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 2: criminals at their expense. You can't make this crap up, 156 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 2: all right, This guy is on some nasty form of 157 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 2: illegal substance. This judge is absolutely unhinged to write crap 158 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 2: like this with a straight face. 159 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 3: And you will not hear the liberal media cover this order. 160 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: They won't read these passages and say the same judge 161 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 2: that said that a sanctuary city deserves this money had 162 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 2: to say that, oh, not giving them the money will 163 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: undermine public trust and confidence with these cities. 164 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 3: Well, they did that themselves. 165 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 2: This is insane. I mean, I mean, this is as 166 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: apparent as the day is long. But on the issue 167 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: of citizenship for voting, that's kind of like the easy thing, right. 168 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: Can't we all disagree, even you Democrats out there. Can't 169 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 2: we just all agree that only citizens should be able 170 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: to vote in elections? 171 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 3: Can I offer you a voter ID as well? 172 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 2: Coming up, I'm going to share with you the polling 173 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 2: numbers on those two questions in California. In the blue 174 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 2: state of California, what percentage of voters think that we 175 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: should have voter ID? What percentage of voters say we 176 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: should have a citizenship requirement to register to vote? And 177 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 2: how can you help us make those two items the 178 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: law of the land and the state of California through 179 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 2: a citizens' initiative in twenty twenty six and I'm leading. 180 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 2: It's all coming up as Carl Demio sits in for 181 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: John cou Belt. 182 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Coblt on demand from KFI AM 183 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 4: six forty. 184 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 2: This is Carl Demayo, State ASSEMI Member, Chairman of Reform 185 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: California and overall troublemaker. I love causing trouble for Democrats 186 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 2: in the state of California because they've caused so much 187 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 2: trouble for you. And one way that we have to 188 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: start solving problems in this state is to recognize that 189 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 2: our political system is broken. People have given up voting 190 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 2: because they don't have trust and confidence anymore in the system. 191 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 2: We have a just a horrible voting system in California. 192 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: They have outdated voter lists. Intentionally, they then mail out 193 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: ballots to everyone on the outdated lists, which means that 194 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 2: creates a bunch of orphan ballots. When people are receiving 195 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: ballots at apartment buildings and homes and homeless shelters and 196 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 2: hotels and motels and nursing homes and people are no 197 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 2: longer there who are associated with those ballots, then it 198 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 2: opens the potential that those ballots are quote harvested. And 199 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 2: that's what the Democrats did, is they legalized ballot harvesting. 200 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: And finally, they have no real identity verification on these ballots. 201 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 2: As they're returned. 202 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 3: Oh, they say, well, we checked the signature's Carl. No, 203 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 3: they don't. 204 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 2: The Transparency Foundation did an audit of the twenty twenty 205 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 2: two California election and found wild disparities across each of 206 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 2: the counties in terms of signature review quality checks. And 207 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 2: they then found people whose signatures were actually rejected, and 208 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 2: they found a fourteen point seven percent confirmed rate of fraud. 209 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 2: And you hear about that from the La Times or 210 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: the liberal media because they don't want to cover it. 211 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: So what I say is, let's clean up our elections. 212 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 2: Let's restore public trust and confidence. The best way to 213 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 2: do that simply two reforms. Okay, first reform is making 214 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 2: sure we don't have illegal immigrants on the voter rules. 215 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: That's voter citizenship verification. Right now, vot voter allows illegal 216 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: immigrants to register. There is no verification on citizenship. So 217 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 2: we believe we need to fix that and require that 218 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 2: people show that they are a citizen with a government document. 219 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 2: If you have a real ID, by the way, that's 220 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 2: been in the news lately in the past couple of weeks. 221 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 2: As the deadline approaches, you are already citizenship verified. If 222 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: you're not, you're one of the two percent or three 223 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 2: percent that are not verified. In our first election, we 224 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 2: catch up, we verify, we move on, and then everyone 225 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 2: who registers thereafter they have to show that they're a 226 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 2: citizen that's number one. That enjoys the support of seventy 227 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: nine percent of Californians, including a supermajority of Democrat voters. 228 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 2: It's a no brainer. People support it. The second reform 229 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: is voter ID voter ID when you return your ballot, 230 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: So citizenship verification is when you register to vote. Voter 231 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 2: ideas when you return your ballot. That's simply either in 232 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: person when you're voting at a polling station, or as 233 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: ninety five percent of Californians do, mail in ballots. You 234 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 2: would put the last four digits of whatever government document 235 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 2: you used when you verified your citizenship. So if it's 236 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 2: a passport, last four digits, real ID, last four digits, 237 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 2: social Security number, last four digits, very simple on the 238 00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 2: mail in ballot to do this. But Democrat that's in 239 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 2: Sacramento killed both of these reforms. By the way, citizenship 240 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 2: verification is seventy nine percent of California voter support. Voter 241 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 2: ID to return your ballot sixty eight percent of California 242 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 2: voters support, including a majority of Democrats. And before you 243 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 2: go off saying, but Carl, it's gonna suppress the votes 244 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: of minorities, it's racist. Well, maybe you should tell the 245 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 2: non white voters in California that because seventy percent of 246 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 2: non white voters in California support voter ID by a 247 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 2: greater margin than the overall population by two percentage points, 248 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 2: this is an idea whose time has come. But the 249 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 2: Democrats were given the opportunity to pass it with Assembly 250 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 2: Bill twenty five, and they killed it, the bill that 251 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 2: I authored. 252 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 3: They killed voter ID and Sacramento. So here's the deal. 253 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 2: We got to get a million signatures to put this 254 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 2: on the ballot in the twenty twenty six election. And 255 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 2: I can't do this alone. So I'm gonna need you 256 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 2: to sign online the petition and share it with all 257 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 2: your friends. Go to voter ID petition dot org. Voter 258 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 2: ID petition dot org. It is crucial that you do 259 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 2: this because I cannot do this alone. It won't happen 260 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: unless you get off the couch and into the fight. 261 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 2: Not only do you need to sign this petition, but 262 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 2: I need you to get five or six of your friends, 263 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 2: Text it to them, email it to them. Voter idpetition 264 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: dot org. Voter idpetition dot org. Trump was just blocked 265 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,239 Speaker 2: today by this judge who said no We're not going 266 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 2: to do citizenship verification. That's not the law of the land. 267 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 2: You can't require that. These are the idiots that we're 268 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 2: up against. They do not want to have integrity in 269 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 2: our elections, plain and simple. By putting this on the ballot, 270 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 2: we are ending the debate. We are imposing the reform. 271 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: This is a state constitutional amendment. It will pass if 272 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: we get it on the ballot. The only challenge is 273 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 2: a million signatures. Please sign online at voter idpetition dot org. 274 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 2: All right, coming up, the control of Congress rests in 275 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 2: the hands of California voters. California matters nationally. It's not 276 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 2: just a blue state. It's got pockets are red. And 277 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 2: here are the challenge seats that we have to be 278 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 2: ready to defend. Plus, we'll talk to one of the 279 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 2: leading candidates to flip a seat in California, who's a Republican. 280 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 2: It's all covered up. As Carl Deonio sits in for 281 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 2: John cooe Belt on KFI. 282 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty. 283 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 2: We are having our conversation about all things that are 284 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 2: screwed up in California. Excuse me, which means we have 285 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: a lot to talk about. One of the things though, 286 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 2: that people don't understand is that while California is a 287 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 2: blue state, two things are happening. Number One, California voters 288 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 2: are moving dramatically to the right, to the center, and 289 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: to the right. We see that in all the polling studies. 290 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 2: We see that in the voter registration a million new 291 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 2: Republican California voters in the last several two years. As 292 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 2: people leave the Democrat Party, particularly Latinos, they're voting more 293 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: to the Republican side. There is a right word shift. 294 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 3: Now. 295 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 2: It would happen a lot quicker if the Republican Party 296 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 2: of California would pull its head out of its you 297 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: know what and actually be functional and actually fight rather 298 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 2: than surrender. But that's why my group exists Reform California, 299 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: because we're not waiting for Republican establishment politicians to figure 300 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 2: out that they need to fight. We're just going out 301 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 2: there and working with the grassroots and making it happen. 302 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 3: But the second thing is. 303 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 2: Also true that even in a deep blue state that 304 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: is trending to the right, we still matter nationally because 305 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 2: of the control of the House of Representatives and What 306 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 2: my frustration is, as I've been going up and down 307 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 2: the state organizing the rebellion and getting grassroots activated and 308 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 2: recruiting volunteers and recruiting candidates, is that we're not getting 309 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: any money from the National Republican Party. They've left us 310 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: for dead in the ditch, and in twenty twenty I 311 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 2: begged them for resources. They didn't send any money out, 312 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 2: but we picked up four congressional seats in twenty twenty 313 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 2: and then in twenty twenty two they gave us a 314 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 2: little bit of money and we picked up a fifth 315 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 2: congressional seat, and guess what. The House majority in twenty 316 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 2: twenty two was decided by five congressional seats. California handed 317 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 2: this speakership to the Republicans in twenty twenty two. If 318 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 2: it weren't for those four seats we picked up in 319 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 2: twenty twenty and the fifth in twenty twenty two, the 320 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 2: House Republicans would not be in the majority in twenty 321 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 2: twenty two and would not have been able to stop 322 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 2: Joe Biden's agenda. He would have done a lot more damage. 323 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 2: And we were left for dead, largely by National Republicans. 324 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 2: So now we look at what just happened in this 325 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 2: last election. Republicans again did not get us the resources 326 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 2: we needed, and in the twenty twenty four election, sadly, 327 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 2: we lost several congressional seats three John Dwarte in Central Valley, 328 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 2: Michelle Steele in Orange County, Mike Garcia in Santa Clarita, 329 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 2: LA County. Three seats. Do you know what the House 330 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 2: what he is right now? Three seats. Republicans are in 331 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 2: the majority by just three seats. So in the twenty 332 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 2: twenty sixth election, California once again is ground zero in 333 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 2: the fight for the House majority. That is why you 334 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 2: are seeing millions of dollars flowing in from the Democrats. 335 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders got off his deathbed, AOC got down from the. 336 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 3: Bar she dances on bars like Coyote Ugly. 337 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 2: And decided to take a carbon based jet to California 338 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 2: and rented a bunch of protesters just show up at 339 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 2: town halls in Republican districts. So they went to Central Valley. 340 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 2: They're trying to flip Kevin Kylie's seat up in the 341 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 2: Central Valley area. They went out to Inland Empire to 342 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 2: try to flip Ken Calvert seat. 343 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 3: They went down to Worrae County to try to flip 344 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 3: Young Kim seat. 345 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 2: These are three Republican seats that are targeted by Democrats 346 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 2: that they think they can flip. They've went to Central 347 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 2: Valley to go after David Valadeo. So these are four 348 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 2: seats that we have to be worried about. 349 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 3: But there are also seats we can flip. 350 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 2: We can flip the Dwarte seat, the Michelle Steele seat, 351 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 2: the Mike Garcia seat, the Mike Levin seat. Mike Levin 352 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 2: right now is in Orange County and San Diego County. 353 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 2: It's the forty ninth congressional district, and that is a 354 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 2: flippable seat. If we can get our seats on the 355 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 2: Republican side. If we can save these seats and then 356 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 2: maybe add a couple, Trump will have a majority in 357 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 2: the last two years of his administration to get things done. 358 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 2: If California loses these seats, this is probably going to 359 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 2: be the margin by which the Republicans lose the House. 360 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 2: Everything comes down to what's going on in California. And look, 361 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 2: I'm not waiting for the national Republican political consultants and 362 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 2: donors to figure that out. I think some of them 363 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: know it, but there's just so inpt and incompetent, and 364 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 2: don't even start. The California Republican political consults are even worse. 365 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 2: They've only known how to fail. 366 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 3: You know. 367 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 2: They are the ones that are responsible for the permanent 368 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 2: minority that we seem to be in right now, and 369 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 2: so reform California. As I mentioned on Tuesday when I 370 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 2: took over guest hosting, we have a five point plan 371 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 2: to take back California and it's working. 372 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 3: It's working. 373 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 2: We're not even getting any support from these big donor organizations. 374 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 2: We're doing it organically at the grassroots level. Five point 375 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 2: plan number one is we're offering an agenda of change. 376 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 2: We are engaging voters and convincing them that they don't 377 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 2: have to accept Gavin Newsom in the super majority, that 378 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 2: they should try out the other side just for one cycle. 379 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 2: We're making the case for change number one, and we're 380 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 2: offering credible ideas and solutions that represent change number two. 381 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 2: We're recruiting candidates that fit the districts in each of 382 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 2: these areas. We're training, mentoring, endorsing, putting them on our 383 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 2: voter guide. But you can't beat someone with no one 384 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 2: You need to have candidates in each of these seats, 385 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 2: so we're recruiting candidates. Number three, we are recruiting volunteers 386 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 2: to support candidates, to work the campaigns. The Republican Party 387 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 2: has given up on volunteers. They don't the consultants don't 388 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 2: like volunteers. Would I have to work with volunteers if 389 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: they have opinions? 390 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 3: That's terrible. They want me to buy them pizza, they 391 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 3: want me to take pictures with them. 392 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 2: I'd rather just run TV ads and stuff mailboxes full 393 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 2: of flat nailers and earn fifteen percent commission. 394 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 3: Here's the thing. 395 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 2: We need volunteers because personal contact is what will move 396 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 2: the needle in these races, and Reform California is recruiting 397 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 2: those volunteers. Number four, we need to turn out our 398 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 2: votes by contacting Republicans that have given up hope and 399 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 2: get them to turn out in greater numbers in these 400 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 2: midterm elections. And number five, we need to raise the 401 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 2: resources to. 402 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 3: Do first four things. 403 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 2: And while we're doing all this for candidates, by the way, 404 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 2: we are putting things like California Voter ID on the 405 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 2: ballot in the twenty twenty six election, the tax pay 406 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 2: protection initiative we're putting on the ballot in the twenty 407 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 2: twenty six election, collecting signatures and forcing our popular ideas 408 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 2: on the ballot so we can use as as wedge 409 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 2: issues against the Democrats. We've got a plan and we're 410 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 2: starting to see some good candidates step forward and it's working. 411 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 2: We picked up three seats in the state legislature in 412 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: the last cycle. I need seven more seats this cycle. 413 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 2: We have sixteen seats in the state legislature we're targeting. 414 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 2: All we need to do is win less than half 415 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 2: of them seven seats, and they are very wittable. We 416 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 2: got to get people off the couch and into the fight. 417 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 2: All it takes is is get getting people engaged in 418 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 2: this fight, giving them a hope that you, yes, can 419 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 2: take back your government. They're gonna have more money than us. 420 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 2: They have the lying liberal media to cover up their tracks. 421 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,719 Speaker 2: But we've got a movement to build and a movement. 422 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 2: I'll take a movement any day of the week against 423 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 2: media and money.

County Supervisor Jim Desmond for San Diego is 430 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 2: one of our best candidates in California to flip a 431 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 2: seat from blue to red. That's that forty ninth Congressional 432 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 2: district in San Diego, North San Diego County in South 433 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 2: Orange County. 434 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 3: He'll make his case. 435 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 4: Coming up, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from 436 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 4: KFI A six. 437 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 2: Tomorrow, we're going to talk about insurance, the insurance crisis 438 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 2: and why are you ready for this?

Get all your friends to tune in. 440 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 2: Why politicians in California make more money. They get more 441 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 2: money in their budget when your insurance rates go up. 442 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: And that's why they're not going to fix the insurance 443 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 2: crisis anytime soon. They're not interested in it. They're going 444 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 2: to continue to blame insurance companies when in fact, it 445 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 2: was the politicians that created the crisis and they're benefiting 446 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 2: from the crisis. That's tomorrow, as we sit in for 447 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 2: John as he's on on vacation.

Whether or not he's going 455 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 2: to be able to get his agenda done in the 456 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 2: last two years of his administration, that will be decided 457 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 2: by key races right here in California, which means you 458 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 2: matter every moment of time. 459 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 3: Every dime you give. 460 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 2: Should be focused here in California, not somewhere else.

It's currently held by Mike Levin, Democrat, 463 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 2: who I call him AOC in a pair of pants, 464 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 2: AOC in a pair of pants.

Uh. 474 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 3: Tell us about your experience and why you're running. 475 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 5: Well, I'm running because I love this country and I 476 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 5: want to make sure that we we remained safe and free. 477 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 5: And unfortunately, in the last administration, you know, with our 478 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 5: wide open borders. Uh and and uh, you know, people 479 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 5: just cut pouring across into our country and the President 480 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 5: Trump finally stopping that. But we you know, we've got 481 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 5: to be able to take control and kee he actually 482 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 5: keep the control in the House of Representatives in Washington, 483 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 5: d C. The Republicans only have a very small margin 484 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 5: right now of about five or six people. We got 485 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 5: to make sure we hold it and flip some of 486 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 5: these seats, and I think this forty nine seat is 487 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 5: very flippable. As you mentioned, mister Levin, you know, sides 488 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 5: with AOC. He also he wants men in women's sports. 489 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,239 Speaker 5: He's against voter ID. He did nothing when boats were 490 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 5: landing on the beaches in southern California, so he hasn't 491 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 5: kept us safe and he's been part of this WoT 492 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 5: crowd that hopefully is on its way out the door. 493 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 2: Of course, Levin supports the gas tax increase. He wants 494 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 2: to do a new mileage tax. He wants to ban 495 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 2: natural gas appliances. He's all four housing first, which are 496 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 2: these drug den public housing projects down the street from you. 497 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 2: This is a guy who is full tilt, far left, 498 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 2: but he represents a purple district and he's always been 499 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 2: able to get away with it because he hasn't really 500 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 2: had a very good competitor. I think you are the 501 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 2: best competitor running in this seat since Daryl Isia packed 502 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 2: his bags and gave it up back in twenty eighteen. 503 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 3: What is your what is your strategy to win? 504 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 5: Well? Two thirds of this district is in San Diego County, 505 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 5: one third in Orange County, And unfortunately, the last couple 506 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 5: of people that ran in this race were Orange County, 507 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 5: from Orange County, and they weren't able to make, you know, 508 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 5: tie the deal or get it done in San Diego County. 509 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 5: I already currently represent about two thirds of that district 510 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 5: here in northern San Diego County I've been elected twice. 511 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 5: I think the voters have already checked the Jim Desmond 512 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 5: box a couple of times. And I think having that 513 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 5: name recognition already being a sitting incumbent county supervisor with 514 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 5: a reputation of trying to get things done. You know, 515 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 5: I've been working on this Tijuana sewage issue. I stood 516 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 5: up for businesses during COVID. I stood up, you know, 517 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 5: against the immigration people being dumped off in San Diego 518 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 5: County when mister Levin did nothing on how they and 519 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 5: these things.
