Speaker 2: gonna be on the podcast John Cobelt's show on demand.

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: So there you got all the streams covered to get

12
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: here to sign this petition.

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: Which we'll explain in just a moment. You take the.

14
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: Fifty seven, you go to the intersection of ball Road

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: and Phoenix Club Drive. You turn on Phoenix Club Drive,

16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: you go short distance. It empties right into the parking

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 2: lot here, parking lot for at the Honda Center. Then

18
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: you follow the Cones and the Ballards and we've got

19
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: four traffic lanes and they've been going since one o'clock

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: when we started people signing petitions. And the official name

21
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: is called Hold on a second, The Homelessness, drug addiction

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: and Theft Reduction Act. Basically, this is a huge rewrite

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 2: of Prop forty seven. In short, it makes retail theft

24
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: a crime again. It makes drug use drug possession a

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: crime again. It goes after fentanyl traffickers and pushers. That

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: becomes a more severe crime. And if you kill the

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: person you sold the fentanyl till it's going to be murder.

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 2: And we can get this on the ballot in November.

29
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: This was co written by George Gascon. I think we're

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: all familiar with him. He is a human cancer and

31
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: he's going to get eradicated this year. It's going to

32
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,279
Speaker 2: be kicked out of office as DA of La County,

33
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: and his stupid Prop forty seven is going to be

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: destroyed as well. So please come. We are taking signatures

35
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: till six o'clock. We're along the air for one more

36
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: hour till four o'clock and a number of people to

37
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: talk with, including Todd Spitzer, the Orange County DA who

38
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: helped set this up today. So a big round of

39
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: applause for Todd, one of the few good guys in government.

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: And Todd is going to go into detail about what

41
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: the provisions are in this referendum that we're trying to

42
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: get on the ballot. Now seated next to me, here

43
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: is Matt Cappaluto, a father. We've had him on a

44
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: number of times. You may know his story. I'm going

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: to have him briefly tell it again. And he's trying

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: to get legislation passed through the legislature and through the

47
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: ballot initiative method. And Matt, why don't why don't we

48
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure a lot of people have not heard your story,

49
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: So just briefly go through it and explain why you're

50
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: here today.

51
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: Sure, like one of the other parents who you heard

52
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 3: just from a couple moments ago, I lost a child

53
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: to fentanyl poisoning, not an overdose.

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 4: I want to make this clear.

55
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: There is a difference between when somebody knowingly takes too

56
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: much of something and what happened to my daughter was

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: which she purchased what was represented to her as oxy codone.

58
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: She took half of an oxycodone pillbookfore going to bed,

59
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: and she died within minutes. That's not an overdose. She

60
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 3: was poisoned, and that's murder. No parent will condone their

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: child purchasing a prescription drug illegally. But what is far

62
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: worse is the person on the other end of that

63
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: transaction who risked her life for a few dollars. From

64
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: that point, we came up with Alexandra's Law. I'm gonna

65
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: explain this to you.

66
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: Thank you.

67
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: Alexandra's Law is very simple.

68
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: If you're convicted of a drug offense, you're going to

69
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: receive a warning letting you know that if you continue

70
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: to furnish deadly drugs and that results in somebody's day,

71
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: you can be charged with murder. That warning common sense.

72
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: That warning serves as knowledge that you know what you're

73
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: doing can kill somebody, and that is the evidence that

74
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 3: it's needed in a court of law in California.

75
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 4: As common sense as that sounds.

76
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: I've been battling our state legislature trying to get that

77
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: passed for four years, and because of a few extreme

78
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: politicians who sit on the public safety committees, they prevent

79
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: this from getting passed.

80
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: So what is amen.

81
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: It's amen that it's now part of this ballot initiative.

82
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 3: So if we get this on the ballot and it's

83
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: voted in by the people, it will become law and

84
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: we will finally be able to hold these death dealers accountable.

85
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: But I want to make one more point, and I'll

86
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 3: give it back to John. The far left is going

87
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: to promote this as us just wanting to charge people

88
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 3: with murder and lock people up. No, we want to

89
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 3: save lives and we want to provide justice to victims,

90
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 3: and that's what this does.

91
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: Matt has been coming on our show for several years now.

92
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: It's been a four year fight in the legislature. I

93
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: can't tell you how resistant the legislature is in putting

94
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: murderers in prison. They are absolutely against new crimes, and

95
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: they look at making sentinel trafficking that leads to a

96
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: death as a new crime. And so there are some

97
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: extreme radical members of the Democratic Party and they're all

98
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: on the public safety committees and the Assembly and the Senate,

99
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: and they have a good game going because the Assembly

100
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: leaders or some of the other assemblymen and state senators

101
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: will say, oh, no, I'm for the bill. If it

102
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: gets through the committee, I'd vote for it. Really, you've

103
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: got a majority support here at Sacramento. It just has

104
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 2: to go through the committee. But what the leaders do

105
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: is they intentionally put these hardcore pro crime fanatics on

106
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: the committee to choke off these bills so they never

107
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 2: get to the floor for a full vote.

108
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: They know what they're doing. It's a scam answer scam.

109
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 2: And none of this is covered in the media, so

110
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: none of us know the names of these assembly people

111
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 2: and the state senators. And you end up with, I mean,

112
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: Todd said at the beginning of the show, you end

113
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: up with like one hundred thousand people dying from FENTONIL

114
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: and many of them young people like Matt's daughter here,

115
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: and there's nobody in government fighting for them, nobody in

116
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: media fighting for them. I don't think it's outrageous to

117
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: charge a guy who puts fentanyl in an everyday drug

118
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: and kills teenage boys and girls. I don't think it's

119
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: outrageous to put him in prison. What else should we

120
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: do with him? I mean, it's just, it's just, but

121
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: this is this is a sick, sick religion that these

122
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: progressives believe in, and they're in government and they're in

123
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: the media, and they have put a choke hold on

124
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: the information getting out now because the legislators don't want

125
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: to talk about it, the media doesn't want to cover it.

126
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: And then we have an event like this and Matt

127
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: came up and the couple we had at the end

128
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: of last hour came up, and then the man we

129
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: had who was set fire on the metro train by

130
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: a homeless person, and everybody goes.

131
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

132
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, this is what everyday life is in

133
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: La Orange County. You don't hear this reported very much.

134
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 5: I'd like to say say one more thing.

135
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 3: Alexandra's law is going through the legislature once again. It's

136
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: known as SB Senate Bill twenty one, so please follow

137
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 3: it as it progresses through the legislature. It will be

138
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 3: going to the Public Safety Committee at some point in

139
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 3: March or April. If you have a chance, please watch it.

140
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: You know, one last thing I'll explain. It's in its

141
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: simplest terms, it is a warning. It gives you a

142
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: chance to stay away from killing somebody. It's only if

143
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: you disregard that warning and somebody dies as a result

144
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: that you can be held accountable. Look at we're in California.

145
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 3: We put warnings on everything. Everything has a warning label,

146
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: and our legislature won't warn fetanol dealers.

147
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy, It is nuts.

148
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: It really a warning because once somebody's been warned that

149
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: what you're selling is going to kill people, and you'll

150
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: go to prison. Stop doing it. Stop selling the stuff.

151
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 2: The sale itself is illegal. Killing people ought to be

152
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: ought to be punished, and it's.

153
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: It's not a crime. It's not a crime. Now, that's

154
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: what's nuts. And they don't want to make it a crime. Well, Matt,

155
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: thank you for coming on with us. Thank you. And

156
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: he has put in a.

157
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: Tremendous amount of effort to try to get this stuff

Speaker 1: Okay, so nobody should be lost.

214
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 2: We are now going to talk to Bill as Sale,

215
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: Republican Assemblymen from the ill An Empire. Everybody welcome Bill.

216
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 2: He's one of the good guys. There's about five of

217
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: them in the state. In politics bill, the encouraging turnout here,

218
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: it makes you feel like we're headed towards the turning

219
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: point in the state.

220
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 6: It does, you know, I was saying, this reminds me

221
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 6: of the political human sacrifice days we used to put

222
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 6: heads on a stick.

223
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: I think we need to bring that back. We're going

224
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: to bring that back.

225
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 6: Because I'll tell you why. Up in Sacramento, they really

226
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 6: they do not fear the public. They feel like, no

227
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 6: matter what they do, how crazy they are, they know

228
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 6: they're going to get re elected into a supermajority. And

229
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 6: doing this, going around the legislature and having the public

230
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 6: assert their voice is the most powerful thing we can

231
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 6: do right now.

232
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: Now, you, I'm sure, have been involved in a lot

233
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: of insane discussions in Sacramento. I mean, tell people what

234
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 2: it's like to deal with these ultra progressives, this weird

235
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: religious like cult, their belief in the criminal, their protection

236
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: of the criminal.

237
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: They know what they're doing. They're doing this on purpose.

238
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 6: It is bizarro world. It is gaslighting at its worst.

239
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 6: So if you do a bill like I did, all

240
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 6: to bring back the firearm enhancement, which they love gun laws, right. Yeah,

241
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 6: So this bill says if you're going to use a

242
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 6: gun to commit a crime, you're gonna get extra twenty

243
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 6: years in prison.

244
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 4: Okay, And uh I got hit with do you have

245
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 4: any evidence that works?

246
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: Uh?

247
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 6: Well we had it at worked great, Yes we have,

248
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 6: but then you had too many people in prison. I'm like, yeah,

249
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 6: well that's a good thing.

250
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: I mean, what is this concept of too many people?

251
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: I don't If you have one hundred bad guys, then

252
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: you have to have one hundred cells. If you have

253
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 2: five hundred bad guys, you have five hundred cells. There's

254
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: no magic number. It's whatever society produces.

255
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: Population has exploded. Yeah, we have not built prisons to

256
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: keep up.

257
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 6: And uh, prison is the most effective thing we can

258
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 6: do to lock up a dangerous person so they can't

259
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 6: hurt other people.

260
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: It's a very simple concept.

261
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 4: But up there they were like, well, do you have

262
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 4: any evidence?

263
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 8: Does this work?

264
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 4: Is this data studies? And they got all this BS.

265
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,599
Speaker 1: Datistics that they use. It is it is BS, and

266
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: I call it.

267
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 4: They want the hug a thug program and why that

268
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 4: doesn't work?

269
00:13:58,800 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 6: Well?

270
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: But with which were they're very much most of them

271
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: for gun control, for gun control for people like you, right, Yeah,

272
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: but the guys who actually use the guns. They don't

273
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: want to send him tenny time for that. No, so

274
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: you can tell it's not about the guns. It's about

275
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: protecting the criminals and going after innocent people.

276
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 6: You know. I tell this story. Mia Banta is on

277
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 6: the Public Safety Committee. She's the wife of the Attorney General. Yes,

278
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 6: when I presented this bill, I said, look, two thirds

279
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 6: of the victims of these violent gun crimes are minorities.

280
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: They're black and brown people.

281
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 6: And I said, there was an article that came out

282
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 6: says a mom in Oakland had her son shot, shot

283
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 6: and killed, and they know they haven't even arrested the guy.

284
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 6: And she says, I can't grieve until I have justice

285
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 6: for my son. Mia Banta got livid and mad, and

286
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 6: she said, don't you dare lecture me about black moms

287
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 6: in Oakland. They're more worried about their sons being snatched

288
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 6: up by the police. This woman is insane and her

289
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 6: and her husband are running the state.

290
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. And he's gonna want to run for governor.

291
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: Oh God forbid. Yeah. I do you ever wonder after

292
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: dealing with this day after day, like what am I doing?

293
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes shouldn't I move? Sometimes you talk to rational people.

294
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 6: Well, you know what, I'm excited guys like Carled Demayra

295
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 6: are running because I love my colleagues. But even a

296
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 6: lot of Republicans, they've sort of given up, yes, sort of.

297
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: Give it up. And I said, we have to fight.

298
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: We have to be loud.

299
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 6: We have to put the Democrats uh, we got to

300
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 6: expose their viewpoints.

301
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: We've got to get them on record.

302
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 6: We should do these bills and put them in their

303
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 6: face and make them vote against the public what the

304
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 6: public wants. And they don't want to be too aggressive. No,

305
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 6: because they get too aggressive, they get mad and messes

306
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 6: up their fundraising and you know it's like.

307
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: A little harder. Yeah, I know, they just want to

308
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: take a check and they want some pork for their

309
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: district and I you know whatever, But that's you know what.

310
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: We have a one party system and the little tiny

311
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: sliver of the second party is it doesn't even fight anymore.

312
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: I've been talking about that for years, probably talked about

313
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: it on the air. It's like, where are the Republicans

314
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: holding press conferences, holding events to make people aware of

315
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: the insanity going on.

316
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: They don't even bother anymore. We need good people like

317
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: you guys to run for office.

318
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 6: I will tell you in Sacramento it is filled with

319
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 6: staffers and activists who run for office. What normal person

320
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 6: you can me too, wants to fly up nine months

321
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 6: of the year the Sacramento and deal with these insane people.

322
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 4: Nobody normal wants.

323
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 6: To do it.

324
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why.

325
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 8: I know.

326
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: That's what's striking is you see like you're quite normal.

327
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: But I might be wrong.

328
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 6: But I'm the son of immigrants. My parents fled a

329
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 6: third world country, they fled Lebanon to be here. Yeah,

330
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 6: and this country has been so good to me my family.

331
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 6: And I was a prosecutor in the Riverside's office at

332
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 6: the US Attorney's Office, and I just I am not

333
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 6: going to go down with these lunatics running our state

334
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 6: into the ground.

335
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 4: I love this state.

336
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give up.

Speaker 2: a petitions to get a referendum on the ballot in

363
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 2: November that would dramatically revise Prop forty seven. And Todd's

364
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 2: going to explain those details coming up in a moment,

365
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 2: but we have a very quick moving line.

366
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: This is a good setup, Todd really it is to

367
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: wake long. We got lane.

368
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 5: We even have motor homes coming through.

369
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: We've had trailers and they got composition there. Yeah.

370
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 2: Uh So we got good news and bad news on

371
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 2: the petitions. The good news is over a thousand people

372
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: have signed.

373
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 5: A thousand people in this two and a half hours.

374
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: Bad news is we're running out of petitions.

375
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 9: So I want you to understand, these petitions are like

376
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 9: hotcakes all over the state. People cannot wait to sign them.

377
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 9: So I literally called headquarters. Do you have anybody in

378
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 9: Orange County with petitions? They can bring them over and

379
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 9: they're like, we are. We have run out all over

380
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 9: the state of California. And what that tells me is

381
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 9: people are sick and tired of watching this state go

382
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 9: down the drain. People are like, why in the world

383
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 9: are we allowing our quality of life, our property values,

384
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 9: our safety, our ability to drive around and be free

385
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 9: without smell, stink and filth, and people whose quality of

386
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 9: life themselves they deserve help. And what this initiative does

387
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 9: is it says, if you're a drug addict and you

388
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 9: keep using drugs, we used to be able to force

389
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 9: you into treatment so we could actually try to turn

390
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 9: your life around. They took that away with Prop forty seven.

391
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 9: There's no responsibility in California anymore.

392
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 7: Right.

393
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 5: The criminals are the new.

394
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 9: Victims in California, not actual victims. So this initiative says,

395
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 9: if you have two or more convictions for personal use

396
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,719
Speaker 9: of drugs, we can force you into treatment, and if

397
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 9: you don't take treatment, you can be convicted of a felony,

398
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 9: and then things get really serious. That's what it was

399
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 9: before Prop forty seven. On theft, if you go in

400
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 9: and steal over and over and over less than nine

401
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 9: hundred and fifty dollars a day, we now under this initiative,

402
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 9: we can cumulate those dollar amounts. So even if you

403
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 9: take your calculator in and figure out how to steal

404
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 9: less than nine point fifty, we can add that up

405
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 9: together and we can charge you with a felony so

406
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 9: we can get prison or jail time and get your attentions.

407
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 5: It is unfair.

408
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 9: It is unfair that we are paying the highest prices

409
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 9: in America for everything because we are being stolen blind.

410
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 9: And if you're a drug dealer and you're pedaling fentanyl

411
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 9: and you kill somebody, we can charge you with murder.

412
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 9: And Matt Caparuto is here getting signatures on the.

413
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 5: Line you just had them on.

414
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 9: Yeah, his daughter was murdered because she bought a drug

415
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 9: and it had a fentanyl unknowingly to her. And we

416
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 9: have people Listen, we understand that people will use illicit

417
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 9: drugs from time to time, but they don't know they're

418
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 9: getting fentanyl. And when they do and they are succumbed

419
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 9: to that, the person that provided that deserves to be

420
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 9: prosecuted for murder.

421
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 5: And I'm happy to do that. I'm happy to prosecute

422
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 5: them for murder.

423
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: So you can see there's three prongs to this.

424
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: It's going after retail theft, It's going after drug sales,

425
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: drug possession, drug use, and then going after these these

426
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: fentanyl pushers and going after the damage they do if

427
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: they if they end up killing one of their customers

428
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 2: after being warned, then they can go to prison for murder.

429
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: And that's that's pretty comprehensive.

430
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 5: It's very comprehensive. And the thing is, you think about this.

431
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 9: While John was on the air, We've collected a one

432
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 9: thousand signatures just from people like yourself driving through.

433
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 5: That's phenomenal.

434
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 9: So listen, we still have time, and we still have applications,

435
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 9: we have initiatives. So if you're already on your way,

436
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 9: I want you to come down. But if you think

437
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 9: I'm gonna come up from Newport Beach, don't. We'll plan

438
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,560

446
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 9: for it.

447
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 5: All right.

448
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 9: It's time to put our foot down. It's time to

449
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 9: say to the legislature, enough is enough. Tell Devin Newsom

450
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 9: you cannot solve California's problems by passing these laws.

451
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 5: We need to take our fate back.

452
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 9: And that's what the goodest citizens of California are going

453
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,679

469
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: when you read Prop forty seven? What did you think

470
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: was going to happen?

471
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 5: John?

472
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 9: What you forgot was before I was a supervisor. In

473
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 9: between Supervisor one and two, I was a member of

474
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 9: the California State Legislature. I sat on the Public Safety Committee, right,

475
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 9: I was a voting member in the minority, and I

476
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 9: watched bill after bill continue to degrade California. And you

477
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 9: don't have to be the smartest person on the block

478
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 9: to see what has been happening over time.

479
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 5: I was there when Gray Davis was governor.

480
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 9: I was there when we had prison overcrowding, and we

481
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 9: had a receiver and Clark Kelso did everything he could

482
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 9: to open up the prison gates.

483
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 5: And let me tell you something, you should.

484
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 9: Not allow our governor to close prisons in the state

485
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 9: of California.

486
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 5: We need the room.

487
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 9: We've built those prisons, and we have people who are

488
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 9: eligible and should be in state prison. This idea that

489
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 9: people shouldn't go to jail or prison. Who harm us,

490
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 9: steal our property, break into our homes. Look look at

491
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 9: smashing grabs, look at burglaries.

492
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 5: It's enough is enough? Is enough? Is enough?

493
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: Todd Spitzer, Orange County, d Now, I have worried that

494
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 2: we're gonna do another one of these in Whittier in

495
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,640

00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: More details to come.

497
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 5: But a question for you, John, is George Gascon gonna

498
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 5: lead this one to.

499
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna invite you, so we'll ask him, we'll

00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: This, there's like, if you're in LA County, most important

550
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 2: thing is to vote against George Gascone.

551
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: I think that's obvious. How many are from LA County here?

552
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: Oh a lot of people. If you're not from LA County,

553
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 1: this is the most.

554
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 2: Important thing that we're going to do in November because

555
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 2: repealing Prop forty seven.

556
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: They've had ten years and they absolutely refuse to.

557
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 2: And you know, they could go to another one hundred

558
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 2: years and they don't care how many people die. They

559
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 2: don't care how much stuff is stolen, how many people

560
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: are harmed, how many drug addicts die in the streets,

561
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 2: how many teenagers die from sentinel poisoning. It doesn't matter

562
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: to them. You might have heard Bill A. Sale, who's

563
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 2: in the legislature.

564
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: You just and Todd Spitzer said this, You just run

565
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: into a brick wall. They don't care. So whatever your stereo.

566
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: They really brainwash us as kids, right, They teach us

567
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: that all these politicians are public servants and they're actually

568
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: making great sacrifices. You know, to go to Sacramento or

569
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: go to Washington, d C. To do good for America.

570
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: It is total bold, it's total nonsense. There is very

571
00:28:54,880 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 2: few and nice catch very few, and you got to

572
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: stop treating him really, stop treating with respect.

573
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: Stop, stop stop thinking that they yeah, they don't they

574
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: don't care, and they're never going to care.

575
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: And what is going on and what they're doing is

576
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 2: exactly what they want to do, all right, same thing

577
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: like the border, borders wide open. That's not a mistake,

578
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: that's not incompetence, that's mission accomplished.

579
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: So understand that we got we got tim Okay, hey, no, that's.

580
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 4: My crew there in Orange County. Man, I would move

581
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 4: there in a heartbeat.

582
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: All right, big chairs for tam, Thank you, man, thank you.

583
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 10: You know they have the greatest food down there. The

584
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 10: greatest people in the world are in Orange County.

585
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: County. You would say the same thing.

586
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 10: Though, oh I did last year, last two months if

587
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 10: I said the same thing. So anyway, we have George

588
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 10: Gascon coming on at five, so that'll be cool. I'm

589
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 10: gonna say, get behind that, lad, What the hell right,

590
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 10: just to piss everybody off in Orange.

591
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: County, that's a good idea.

592
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 4: Alex is coming on with us today.
