WEBVTT - Restoring Common Sense.  Congressman Kevin Kiley Talks to A&G.

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:02.719
<v Speaker 1>As far as the first week is going on, I'm

0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>told that from Republicans, not only on Trump's team but

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>also on Capitol Hill, promises made, promises kept, they're very

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>thrilled with how this first week went.

0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:19.800
<v Speaker 2>From terminating federal diversity programs to deporting immigrants on military aircraft.

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 2>President Trump aggressively begins his first week back in office

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 2>with a blitz of executive action.

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, that's scary music. Thing with Martha radd It's.

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 4>From terminating doing away with diversity in America.

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, ending DEI. Yeah, a lot of people are in

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 3>favor of that. Military airplanes and up blitz.

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:43.159
<v Speaker 4>Okay, yeah, yes, yes, practically everybody is in favor of

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 4>booting out the illegal criminals.

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.880
<v Speaker 3>So why are you using your scary music. Indeed, let's

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 3>talk about that in other matters with Kevin Kylee, who

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 3>serves California's third district in the House of Representatives. Kevin's

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 3>bio points out that he is dedicated to using his

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 3>position to promote fiscally sound policies to our inflation, increased

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.759
<v Speaker 3>choice in education, responsibly manage our public LANs, to preserve

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 3>our beautiful for us, and prevent catastrophic wildfires, and we

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 3>will get to that. Talking indeed, Kevin, how are you, sir?

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:12.119
<v Speaker 5>Doing well?

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 6>Thank you very much. Good to be with you.

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.040
<v Speaker 3>Excellent, and likewise it's good to talk to you. So

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 3>your take on the first week the Trump administration and

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 3>specifically the scary, scary deportations that Martha Raddott seemed so concerned.

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 6>About, Well, I mean, you know, he is fulfilling his

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.120
<v Speaker 6>promises and I don't think anyone should be at all surprised.

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 6>It's not like he was ambiguous about the change that

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 6>he thought the country needed. And you know, when you

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 6>look at the situation at the border, the absolute disaster

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.680
<v Speaker 6>of the last four years, the president was very clear

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 6>that we need a clean break, we need a reset,

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 6>we need to prioritize you know, border security once again.

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 6>And that's a big reason why he was elected. And

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 6>so he, you know, has not wasted any time and

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 6>fulfilling that promise and bringing some sanity back to US

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 6>immigration policy.

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 3>And sanity is a great word for it, because it's

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 3>as if we've been in some sort of dream or

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.640
<v Speaker 3>a fond because it's not like the immigration policy was

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, the corporate tax rate ought to be

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 3>changed by two percent because that would yield a better

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 3>curve indicator of blah blah blah. No, we were permitting

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 3>illegal aliens who'd committed crimes to stay here for reasons

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 3>nobody can explain. It was crazy, that's right.

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 6>I mean, the numbers are just so far beyond anything

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 6>we had ever seen before in terms of the millions

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 6>and millions of people that are allowed to just walk

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 6>right in without any understanding on our part of who

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 6>they even were. Folks were on the terrorists watch list

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 6>we know got in. And California, of course, is that

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 6>it made things even worse by saying, come on here,

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.360
<v Speaker 6>you get free health care. We're a sanctuary state, so

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:53.239
<v Speaker 6>we'll do everything we possibly can to interfere with federal

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 6>immigration enforcement. So, you know, the Trump administration has come

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 6>in and I think with an understanding of how much

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 6>damage there was to undo, and that's why I think

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 6>they've been acting with this sense of urgency and have

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 6>not been at all hesitant to, you know, restore some

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 6>common sense to our policies.

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 4>So you're a California congressman. California's had the worst disaster

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 4>in its state's history. We were making a lot out

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 4>of the drama on Friday before Trump got here, that

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Gavin Newsom had been reaching out to Trump, not hearing

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.080
<v Speaker 4>from Trump. Trump was going to Land, there was no

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 4>scheduled meeting, then Gavin was going to show up there

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:31.920
<v Speaker 4>and try to meet. How do you think that whole

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 4>thing played out, and what's your take on all that?

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think that the President was incredibly gracious. You know,

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 6>Gavin Newsom. Since the moment that Trump was first elected,

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 6>I mean probably even before that, Newsom has you know,

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 6>basically spent you know, the majority of his time or

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 6>a good amount of his time taunting President Trump, trying

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 6>to you know, build his own national profile by going

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 6>after President Trump. It's been one stunt after another, and

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 6>so you know, the President has every reason to not

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 6>have particularly warm feelings towards Gavin Newsom, not to mention

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 6>the fact that Gavin Newsom has been absolutely destroying so

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 6>many things in California, the largest state in the country,

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.599
<v Speaker 6>and that's caused a lot of problems for the federal

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 6>government as well. So, you know, when you saw Newsom

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 6>there kind of standing awkwardly on the tarmac waiting for

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 6>the president, you know, you wouldn't have been surprised, maybe

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 6>if the President had been a little cold towards him,

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 6>but he wasn't. He said, I want to work with you.

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 6>This is important for us to work together to fix this,

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.919
<v Speaker 6>fix this, to get help to folks who need it.

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:37.919
<v Speaker 6>And so I thought he was very gracious. But the

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.279
<v Speaker 6>important thing is that we need to make sure that

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 6>we enact the sort of policy changes for California that

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 6>are going to be necessary to make sure that these

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 6>things don't keep happening again.

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.160
<v Speaker 3>Read my mind. I was just going to say, you know, us,

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 3>we're more than willing to make an ideological point and

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:55.839
<v Speaker 3>try to pitch it to the good people, but we

0:04:55.880 --> 0:05:00.359
<v Speaker 3>also just try to understand what's actually going on, you know,

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 3>in that spirit, how could policy have yielded a different

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 3>outcome in the disastrous LA fires? What went wrong that?

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, mother nature is going to do what mother

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 3>nature does. But what did human beings get wrong? Well,

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:16.160
<v Speaker 3>what didn't they get wrong?

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it is probably the better question when you

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 6>look at the way California has managed its forests and

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:26.480
<v Speaker 6>managed its water supply, it is just the exact opposite

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.359
<v Speaker 6>of what both science and common sense stay that we

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 6>ought to do. And so you know, our forests are

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 6>just staggeringly overgrown, millions of acres with so much fuel

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 6>out there that turned them into tinderboxes. And the big

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 6>reason for that is not only Di Gavin Newsom actually

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 6>cut the fire prevention budget, but we have these just

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 6>crazy laws that stop us from removing trees, from removing vegetation,

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 6>from clearing out areas around power lines and everything else.

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 6>And you know, they even had one project in the

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.239
<v Speaker 6>Tabanga Canyon where they're trying to update these one hundred

0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 6>year old wooden power lines and with fire resistant material,

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 6>and the California Coastal Commission came in and said, no,

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 6>stop that there's a rare.

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Plant around here. You're not about to do it.

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:08.919
<v Speaker 6>And so then when it comes to water, you know,

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 6>we haven't built new water in this state in decades,

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.720
<v Speaker 6>really the State water storage that is, since the State

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 6>Water Project, as the President has talked about. We have

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 6>these just absolutely mind boggling laws and regulations that will

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 6>require water to be diverted and sent to the ocean.

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.160
<v Speaker 6>I mean, we have more than enough water that comes

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 6>to us by the grace of God, but we just

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.599
<v Speaker 6>wasted and so those are the two sort of key

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 6>policy areas that we saw play out in the LA fires,

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.800
<v Speaker 6>when we saw obviously the conflagrations themselves, and then the

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 6>ability inability to respond to them with the immediacy that

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.600
<v Speaker 6>was required because of water not coming out of fire

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 6>hydrant reservoirs that were empty. So, you know, a lot

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 6>of us have been talking about these things for a

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 6>long time, and in fact, my distript has suffered several

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.239
<v Speaker 6>truly catastrophic wildfires as well. But now that just the sheer,

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.479
<v Speaker 6>shock and scale of these fires has really captured the

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.479
<v Speaker 6>world's attention. Hopefully this can be a turning point where

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 6>we start doing things in a more sensible way.

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 3>We really enjoyed last week.

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 4>I was trying to find the actual tweet, but I

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 4>can't find it from Gavin Newsom where he talked.

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 5>About we're getting rid of regular the regulatory red tape

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 5>and the bureaucratic mess so that you can hello, why

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 5>only now California finishes fiftieth out of fifty every single

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 5>year and all kinds of business friendliness?

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Why is it okay now? Why wouldn't it have been

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 3>okay before? That's such a.

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 6>Great point, you know, why hasn't he made it a

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 6>priority for actual prevention. It's great that, you know, we

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 6>can maybe we'll see what he's actually doing, but it'd

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 6>be nice if he had bought ahead a little bit

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 6>and said, maybe we should do these things in order

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 6>to prevent fires from actually happening. And you know what's

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 6>worse is that he actually had been going around in

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 6>the first early years of his governorship saying, oh, yeah,

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 6>I'm doing all this forest prevention work. We're doing all

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 6>this fire mitigation work. And then someone looked at it

0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 6>was actually a Capital Public Radio, the MPR affiliate. They

0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 6>did an investigation and found that he was completely making

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 6>this up, that he was exaggerating the work they were

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 6>doing by a factor of seven. They said it was

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 6>a staggering six and ninety percent that he exaggerated the

0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 6>work that was being done. And again, this isn't shouldn't

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 6>have come as a surprise that this.

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 3>Is a major risk.

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 6>Because we've even we've had fires, catastrophic fires, again and

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 6>again and again in this state, and unfortunately it's cost

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 6>us so much in terms of loss of life, of property,

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 6>in terms of the insurance crisis that has absolutely spun

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 6>out of Hey, I.

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 3>Hate I hate but I found his tweet, and I

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 3>just know you you'd like it so much.

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 4>His actual tweet, goodbye red tape, good Bye bureaucratic nonsense.

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 3>What my god, wid nonsense? Are you kidding me? This

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 3>is his own bureaucracy, right, You've been.

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:46.680
<v Speaker 4>In charge, your party has been in charge of the

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 4>state forever. Goodbye bureaucratic nonsense. Oh my god, I have

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 4>the balls to say that.

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.680
<v Speaker 6>Unbelievable, not to mention she's been governor for but over

0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.439
<v Speaker 6>six years now, And by the way, it's not I

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 6>don't know what he's actually doing. I've seen he's suspended

0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 6>a few walls, but these are only temporary suspensions.

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:05.840
<v Speaker 3>But they're not going goodbye.

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 6>If you wanted to go goodbye, then that would require

0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 6>him to actually be proactive, have legislation and work with

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 6>the legislature.

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:17.439
<v Speaker 3>Humankind has never seen a politician run against their own

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 3>record like Kevin C. Newsom would have to. Kamala Harris

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 3>was a good warm up act.

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, because everyone now recognizes how terrible the record was,

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 6>so he has no choice and it's on every issue,

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 6>by the way, as you mentioned, California's lawns and so

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 6>many things like at homelessness Newsom. I think we recently

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.800
<v Speaker 6>hit the twenty year anniversary of Newsom's tenure planned and

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 6>homelessness in California. So every year he gets tells it's

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 6>homelessess in California. It's such a disgrace.

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 3>It's the pro Bowl.

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 6>No one is more responsible for the homeless crisis we

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.439
<v Speaker 6>have in California than the way you put it is

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 6>exactly right. It's like he has this habit of continually

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 6>running against his own record because that's really the only

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:56.960
<v Speaker 6>option he has available.

0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 3>We need to talk more about that sometime downe road.

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 3>We know you're pressed for time, but just real quickly,

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.679
<v Speaker 3>the Republican caucus in the House of Representatives a fairly

0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 3>narrow majority. What are the top priorities we ought to

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 3>be looking for?

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 6>Well, I mean there's there's a lot. We actually are

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 6>meeting of the conference today and President Trump is joining us,

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 6>and we're sort of laying out what the next few

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 6>months are going to look like. And so we have

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 6>this opportunity with what's called the budget reconciliation process where

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 6>you can actually get a lot of big ticket items

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 6>done at once. And so I'd say the big three

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 6>right now are Number one is the border. We will

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.439
<v Speaker 6>obviously the President taking an executive action, but we want

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.079
<v Speaker 6>to put those changes into statute as well, so a

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.559
<v Speaker 6>future Joe Biden or Majorcus or whoever couldn't come in

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 6>and put our country through again what we just went through.

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 6>Second thing is the economy is getting common sense regulatory

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:56.440
<v Speaker 6>reform and promoting energy and dependence and other tools we

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 6>can use to drive down costs and revitalize the economy.

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 6>And then three is probably the tax pots that we

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 6>need to extend from twenty seventeen and do so in

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 6>a way I'm working on to see that actually California

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 6>gets so much needed tax really.

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Finally, Kevin Kylie represents the California's third district. Kevin, always

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 3>a pleasure to keep fighting, a good fight. We'll talk

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 3>again soon.

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 6>Well do, thank you very much.

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.079
<v Speaker 3>You know, there are a couple of things that may

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 3>have gone by so quickly people didn't catch them or

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:28.560
<v Speaker 3>didn't fully comprehend them. First of all, the utility company said, hey,

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 3>these old antiquated wooden poles are going to snap in

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 3>a high wind, and if they do, the power lines

0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 3>are going to ignite all the brush and it's going

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 3>to burn all these people out of our homes, out

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.320
<v Speaker 3>of their homes. And the California Coastal Commission, which is

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.720
<v Speaker 3>as close to a monarchy as exists in the United States,

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 3>that they said, no, you cannot, for there is the

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 3>bisotted milkweed that grows in abundance. There your poles, and

0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.320
<v Speaker 3>we will not have you stepping up on them. And

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 3>so they could not replace the poles. That's insanity.

0:11:55.360 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 4>Second, is it really is crazy? The environmental wackos are wackos. Yeah,

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.079
<v Speaker 4>it's the same thing with why the Santa Cruz Pier

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.960
<v Speaker 4>got washed away because for years and years and years

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 4>they've been they've been knowing they got to shore up

0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 4>that really old historic landmark. But there's some sort of

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 4>special clam or something that was on there, barnacle and

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 4>it's just nuts.

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 3>Wow. Yeah. And then the controlled burns. I've seen the statistics.

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 3>If the forestry experts came in and said, hey, this forest,

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:32.440
<v Speaker 3>the undergrowth is way too thick. This is a tinder box.

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.319
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna go kurk blue. We need to do a

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 3>controlled burn to make sure it doesn't. If there is

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.559
<v Speaker 3>no dispute, it takes you something like four years, three

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.200
<v Speaker 3>and a half four years to get an approval for that,

0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 3>if the experts say it, If the environmental wackadoos come

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 3>along and say, put the tough to dead mouse, it'll

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:55.400
<v Speaker 3>take nine years in California to do what the forestry

0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:55.959
<v Speaker 3>experts say.

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 5>Must be goodbye red tape, goodbye bureaucratic nonsense.

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 3>And finally, how do you have the nerve to say

0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 3>that he's got balls like coconuts like you just said.

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.560
<v Speaker 3>Sorry for the frank talk, folks. You gotta do something

0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 3>about all these homeless wait whoa wait wait, just crazy?

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 3>And then finally, we need to do this. This must

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 3>be archie hot. Make mayorcus, a term that is used

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 3>for generations to describe a useless piece of garbage. There

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 3>you go. Is that boss here still giving you a hell? Oh? Yeah,

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 3>my god? What a mayork is he is? Yeah? Make

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 3>it a slur? Gotta be Come on, folks, join with us,
