00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: Carl DeMaio is coming on in just seconds here.

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: Carl has been in politics then in San Diego for

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: many years and also an activist in the state of California.

12
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: And he's had a reform movement, an organization called Reform

13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: California for quite a while and has been successful in

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: publicizing issues and getting propositions on the ballot and supporting

15
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: various candidates and proposals. And he decided to take the

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: next step and become an assemblyman, and he won his

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: election in the San Diego area to be in the

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: Assembly and he is going to be unveiling on his

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: first day in office, which is December second, the contract

20
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: to Reform California. He's the chairman of the organization Reform

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: California and this is a ten point agenda that has

22
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: a set of proposals to fix the state. You may

23
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: remember if you were around then the contract with America

24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: that Nute Gingrich unveiled when he was Speaker of the

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: House back in nineteen ninety four during the Clinton era.

26
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: So let's get Carl Debaya on the air here.

27
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me on.

28
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: How you doing.

29
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: Happy Thanksgiving?

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: Well? Happy Thanksgiving to you?

31
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: And you are taking forward action like nobody I have

32
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: seen here in California.

33
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: I think the reason why we have a one party

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: supermajority in California is that we really have not had

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: a true, organized, principled and aggressive opposition party. And if

36
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: we want to fix California, we've got to start by

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: shaking up the Republican Party at California and demanding that

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: they do better. And I think the best way for

39
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: us to win back our state is to offer alternatives,

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 3: offer better solutions to the problems that Californians have been

41
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: expressing their concerns about. Take a look at Prop thirty six.

42
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: It passed in every single county, it got sixty nine

43
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: percent of the vote, and it's a conservative crime reduction

44
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: reform plan. I believe that we should take the Prop

45
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: thirty six model and go out with ten ten big,

46
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: bold ideas that respond to the concerns of Californians and

47
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 3: use that not only to improve their lives, but to

48
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: flip seats in the twenty twenty six election. And I

49
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 3: want to start early, and I want to be aggressive.

50
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right.

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: I have not seen anybody in at least fifteen years,

52
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: or maybe twenty years, propose any ideas, any anything new.

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: I think in Schwarzenegger's first term when he ran for

54
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: the recall, he had uncreed ideas.

55
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: For example, he was going to roll back the car tax.

56
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: I remember that was a big issue then, But since.

57
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: Then, I don't remember a single Republican saying anything of

58
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: any substance on any issue that a reason to vote

59
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: against the Democrats.

60
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 4: Nope.

61
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: The last time we had something exciting from the Republicans

62
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: was our gas tax repeal, and by the way, you

63
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: helped us with that, we got it qualified, we got

64
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: a terrible ballot title. They lied about what we were doing.

65
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 3: But the last time we really went on the offense

66
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: was in the gas tax repeal movement, and we broke

67
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: the supermajority that the Democrats had that year through the

68
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: recall of Josh Newman. I believe we can do it again.

69
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: That's why these ten points. I'm hoping Republicans will get

70
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: on board and help us recruit a governor's candidate, help

71
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: us recruit candidates for the other five statewide offices, and

72
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: then candidates up and down the state for state Senate,

73
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 3: state Assembly. Hey, we can even get the congressional candidates

74
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: involved in this in California in twenty twenty six. But

75
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: I think big, bold ideas and aggressive you know, posture

76
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: is what Californians are waiting for and hungry for, and

77
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: we need to fill the void.

78
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm sure everybody at home now wants to hear

79
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: what these are about. So I'm going to go in

80
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: order the way you presented them. Let's start with number one,

81
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 2: the Cost of Living Reduction Act.

82
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: Explain it, okay, So I say that the reason why

83
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: we have higher costs are not because of price gouging

84
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: by corporations. It's really politicians price gouging with regulations, taxes,

85
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 3: and mandates. So I want to start first with gas

86
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: and your electricity utilities. What we're going to do is

87
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 3: we're going to give every Californian middle class family twenty

88
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: five hundred dollars in a gas rebate and a utility

89
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 3: rebate at any time during the year when the cost

90
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 3: of those items are ten percent more than the national average.

91
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: We're also going to suspend all state taxes and fees

92
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 3: on gas and on electricity. That will reduce the price

93
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: of a gas of gallon a gallon of gas by

94
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 3: about a buck thirty per gallon, and it'll shave off

95
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: about twenty five percent of your utility costs. So I

96
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: believe that we ought to give immediate cost of living

97
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: relief and slash the regulations to drive down prices permanently,

98
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: all right.

99
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: Number two would be the Taxpayer Protection Act.

100
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: We're going to ban any imposition of an exit tax,

101
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: a savings tax, or a mileage tax. We're going to

102
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 3: restore Prop thirteen to two thirds vote requirement. We're going

103
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: to require that any tax increase put on the ballot

104
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 3: has to have an honest ballot title that says tax increase,

105
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 3: and we're going to suspend any automatic increases in gas

106
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: or car taxes.

107
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: Number three is the Balanced Budget Accountability Act.

108
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 3: We're going to cut five percent of all labor costs

109
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 3: across every single state government agency. And then we're going

110
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: to only allow labor costs to increase by the national

111
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: costs of labor increase, so that we don't have bloated

112
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 3: pensions and salaries from government. We're also going to require

113
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 3: two thirds vote on the budget, so Republicans will have

114
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: a say so on the budget and have a little

115
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: bit of leverage, all right.

116
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: Number four is Education Choice and Parental Empowerment Act.

117
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: Any school that does not pass proficiency standards automatically owes

118
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: the parents of the children in that school thirteen thousand

119
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: dollars a year in education vouchers so that parent can

120
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 3: take that child and put them in a school that

121
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: will work. If you want the voice of parents to

122
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 3: be heard, give them the money. It's the golden rule.

123
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 3: Money is what matters. The vouchers will be important.

124
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: Next to a really big here in Los Angeles, Homelessness

125
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: Reduction Act is number five.

126
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: Well, we're going to ban any homeless camps near schools

127
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: and in public spaces at any time during the year

128
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: where we have shelter beds. We're going to end these

129
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 3: million dollars per unit condo projects and shift the money

130
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: to shelter beds. And finally, we're going to require mental

131
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 3: health subs abuse treatment and required daily workships for anyone

132
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 3: receiving welfare and free housing. I believe that that's the

133
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: most important thing we can do to reduce homelessness.

134
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: Number six is end Reckless Release of Criminals Act.

135
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: That's right, and we need to start calling it reckless release.

136
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: That we need to brand that term reckless release because

137
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: that's what's going on in California. What we'll do is

138
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 3: end the early release of violent criminals under Prop. Fifty seven,

139
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: and we're going to prohibit the placement of sexual violent

140
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: predators in residential neighborhoods. My bill would require that they

141
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: be put in trailers at state prison parking lots instead

142
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: of being released into the communities.

143
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: Yes, and then you wouldn't have who's the guy being

144
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: released in Palmdale, the pillowcase rapist guy. They're all raked,

145
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: one hundred women on a dump them in. I think

146
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: Juniper Hills is the latest idea. All right, we have

147
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: number seven now, the California Secure Borders Act.

148
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: Repeal the Sanctuary state law and taxpayer funded handouts to

149
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: ir llegal immigrants that incentivize the human trafficking and this

150
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 3: is I love this one. We're going to require standards

151
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 3: and triggers for the governor to be mandated to deploy

152
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 3: the California National Guard to the border, and we're going

153
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: to provide cross deputization by local law enforcement in federal

154
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 3: immigration and border security roles.

155
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: Number eight is the Voter ID and Election Integrity Act.

156
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: Just as it sounds like we're going to require voter

157
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: ID citizenship verification on the voter rolls, we're going to

158
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: audit the voter list to make sure that they're properly maintained.

159
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 3: And any county that doesn't count their ballots within seven

160
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: days after the election loses the ability to do automatic

161
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 3: mail in battle in the future election.

162
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 2: Can you believe what's going on with the county and

163
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: the ballots. I mean, there's a congressional race that borders

164
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 2: LA and Orange County. It's three weeks now and they

165
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: still don't have a winner, the Michelle Steele race against

166
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: Derek Tran.

167
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: It's this is why, this is why people lose confidence

168
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 3: in the democracy, and we can't have that happening. The

169
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: ballots need to be counted on time, no more delays.

170
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 2: Number nine out of the ten Punish Unconstitutional Actions Act.

171
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: What's this? Okay?

172
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: I really like this one, and I like them all,

173
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: but this one in particular. You know that Gavin Newsom

174
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: and state legislators constantly impose laws and mandates that are

175
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 3: later to be found on constitutional whether it's the COVID

176
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: mandates or worse. They go after the Second Amendment rights,

177
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: the First Amendment rights. They just threatened Elon Musk with

178
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: this if you post social media funny means you can

179
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: go to prison. Well, all of those laws were overturned.

180
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 3: And so what I'm saying is any time a law

181
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: is overturned for being against our civil rights, our constitutional rights,

182
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: the governor will forfeit twenty five percent of his pay,

183
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: and any legislator who voted for that law will also

184
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: forfeit forfeit twenty five percent of their pay for each

185
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 3: and every act. And so very soon these guys, with

186
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: their bad actions, they're going to be working for free.

187
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love that one, all right. Number ten Final

188
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: Cut the Politicians Perks Act.

189
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 3: We're going to ban all gifts. We're going to ban

190
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: lobbying for life by politicians. We're going to force the

191
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 3: state politicians to comply with all the laws they impose

192
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: on the citizens. No more special exemptions for legislators. And finally,

193
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 3: we're going to eliminate the lavish government pensions that the

194
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: politicians in the state of California receive.

195
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a great package.

196
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: And every Republican running for office should or in office

197
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: right now, should talk about this every day, one aspect

198
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: or another that I don't know how anybody normal would

199
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: disagree with this, whether the Republican or Democrat, any any

200
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: private voter. I don't know why you wouldn't want any

201
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: one of these things to be put into law.

202
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: And what we need to do.

203
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 3: What we need to do is we've got to spread

204
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 3: the word and kind of put the pressure on the system.

205
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 3: And so I know that laying this out, the Democrats

206
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 3: aren't going to go for it. A lot of Republicans

207
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 3: aren't going to go for it because some of them

208
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: are little swampy. So what I need to do is

209
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 3: recruit candidates across the state and help them, you know,

210
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: adopt this agenda and run them for office in twenty

211
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 3: twenty six. But we're also going to have to collect

212
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 3: signatures and put some of these items on the ballot.

213
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: Some of these were great propositions and they would pass

214
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: in the same manner pass at Prop thirty six pass.

215
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: Very good, Carl. We'll be talking a lot about this

216
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: over the next two years. Thank you for coming on.

217
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: Appreciate it. If people want to help out, they can

218
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 3: go to Reform California dot org, share the agenda and

219
00:11:59,000 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: ship in a contribution.

220
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to save this list.

221
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: We'll be talking about it quite a bit, all right,

222
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: Carl Demyo from Reform California now an assemblyman in the

223
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 2: state legislature, or he will be. On December second.

224
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

225
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 4: six forty.

226
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: They have caught an eco terrorist that's been on the

227
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: FBI Most Wanted list for the last twenty years, an

228
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: animal rights activist. Wait till you hear this guy's story.

229
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 2: I know you've mentioned this in the news.

230
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 5: Yes I have.

231
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: I've got all the details. Though, you may not be

232
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: happy with this guy because he's he represents your.

233
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 5: I'm not an extreme, you're removement. He is an extremist.

234
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: Is an extreme, You're on the edge, I'm not.

235
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh. If I'm on the.

236
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: Edge, you're wobbling. Go back to Carl Demayo, because I

237
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: really want to highlight this.

238
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: He is right. First of all. Carl Demayo. You should

239
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: know him by now if you're a regular listener.

240
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: He been a politician in San Diego, and then he

241
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: founded the Reform California movement, and as he talked about,

242
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: that was behind the repeal of the gas tax, which

243
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 2: we fell short of because of the lying title in

244
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: summary on that particular proposition. But he has been fighting

245
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: all kinds of bad laws, promoting candidates, trying to change things.

246
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: And one thing is, you know, I'm always blood here.

247
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 2: Most of the Republicans in this state have done nothing

248
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 2: for the last fifteen years or so. I mean nothing

249
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: most of them. I won't say every one of them,

250
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: but really it's just a handful who actually will speak

251
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: out loud and say this is ridiculous, this is stupid.

252
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: Most of them seem to go along to get along.

253
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: And none of them ran on an agenda. There was

254
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 2: no organized a jedda saying hey, if you give us

255
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 2: the power for just one term, give us two years, here's.

256
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: What we'll do.

257
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand why people don't vote for the

258
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 2: Republicans here because most of them never come up with

259
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: a coherent seat of issues. We know what the Democrats

260
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: are for, and we've seen the condition of the state.

261
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: And I think there are a lot more votes to

262
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: get because based on Prop thirty six, that one with

263
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: sixty nine percent of the vote, based on George Gascon

264
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: getting kicked out by a sixty to forty margin, Based on.

265
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: The DA in Oakland.

266
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: Getting recalled, the DA in San Francisco getting recalled, the

267
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 2: mayor of Oakland getting recalled, what was the Proposition five

268
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: that would have increased our property taxes?

269
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: That lost, Trump.

270
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: Gaining another six points on his vote totals as well.

271
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: And you know, then the next day we got to

272
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: hear that, well, the main focus of the news of

273
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: administration is going to be fighting Trump.

274
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: It's like, no, the main newsome.

275
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: The main focus ought to be stopping all the ridiculous

276
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: crime in the state, you know, getting rid of all

277
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: the homelessness for once and for all. Lowering the freaking

278
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: price of gas instead it's going to go up ninety cents,

279
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: lowering the taxes. You got a lot to do. We

280
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: got we've got so much poverty in the state, the

281
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: economy is terrible, the job market is terrible. Well, yesterday's

282
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: fact we had, do you know, ninety six percent of

283
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: the jobs created in the last two years in California

284
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: were government jobs. Government jobs were ninety six percent of

285
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: the total job creation in this state, ninety six percent.

286
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: Only fifty four hundred jobs were created in the private sector.

287
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: We got very close to the highest unemployment rate in

288
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: the country. We've got one of the highest inflation rates here.

289
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: You know, inflation and can be localized. So this has

290
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: got to change. But there has been no organized opposition

291
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: with something coherent.

292
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: So car DeMaio has these ten points, and if you.

293
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: Go to reform California dot org, you could read them

294
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 2: yourself and really really go and do that, reform California

295
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: dot org. And because Carl went through the list, there's

296
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: ten of them. And the thing is, when I first

297
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: heard Carl was coming on and there's a list of ten,

298
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, all right, is that going to be boring

299
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: going through ten?

300
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: Maybe we should just highlight two or three.

301
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: And then I'm reading them and it's like, oh, I

302
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: like that, I like that, Oh we got to have that.

303
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: By time I got through all ten, it's like we

304
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: got to talk about all ten here. All ten are

305
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 2: not just needed, they're desperately needed. But you need Republican

306
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: or sane Democrats in office to campaign on this and

307
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: then vote on this, and it can be done. And

308
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: you know, the titles are mostly self explanatory. But the

309
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: Cost of Living Reduction Act suspending all state taxes and

310
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: fees on gases and utilities and you know, if they're

311
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 2: ten percent higher than the average, until you get rid

312
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: of the state policies that are driving up the cost

313
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 2: because I told you we got the highest gas prices

314
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: in the nation by far, the highest electricity prices in

315
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 2: the nation by far, and it's almost entirely self imposed.

316
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: It's Newsome's government in the legislature.

317
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 2: And then the Taxpayer Protection Act, so they cannot passing

318
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: mileage tax or an exit tax if you move out

319
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: of the state, or a wealth tax if they think

320
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 2: you have too much money socked away. No more increased

321
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: car and gas taxes, and Homelessness Reduction Act, the Reckless

322
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: Release of Criminals Act.

323
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: Some of this rolls back.

324
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: The nonsense of the last ten years of reform. I mean,

325
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: this is all good stuff, and we are going to

326
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: talk a lot at this because there's got to be

327
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 2: a counter movement once and for all, and it can't

328
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 2: just be talking people complaining. That actually has to be action.

329
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 2: And Carl Demio has taken the first step. And you

330
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: know what he said is, you know, some Republicans are

331
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 2: just they enjoy feeding from the troth and they go along,

332
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: get along guys, and the guys who are the resistance

333
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: in the Republican Party, they are going to be outed,

334
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: we are going to publicize them, and they need to

335
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: be replaced.

336
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: I can't stand those guys. They're worse.

337
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: They make me angrier because at least the Democrats, Hey,

338
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: this is what they believe in, and they get up

339
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: every morning and they push their agenda. They do what

340
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: they want to do. They do what they think their

341
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 2: voters want to do. A lot of the Republicans don't

342
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: really care. Yeah, they just they got name recognition, they're

343
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 2: in a safe district, so they just roll along and

344
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: they really don't do any of the hard work to

345
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: change the way we're living. All right, when we come back,

346
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: the common eco terrorist, he's been captured. The FBI has

347
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 2: been chasing him for over twenty years. He had committed

348
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 2: these terrible crimes as part of these animal rights movements.

349
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: We're talking about bombings. He had quite a career over

350
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: twenty years on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorist list.

351
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM six.

352
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: Forty after four o'clock.

353
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: If you missed the show, what you go to John

354
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. That's the

355
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: podcast version of the radio show. Many many thousands of

356
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 2: people do that every day, so you could listen, you know, later,

357
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: this afternoon, tonight, the holiday weekend, whenever you want. All right,

358
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: So there's one less terrorist running free now, this one

359
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 2: out of California. So of course it's an eco terrorist.

360
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 2: He's got a confusing name, Daniel Andreas san Diego.

361
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 5: But he's not from San Diego.

362
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: He's not from San Diego. I was reading this and

363
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,239
Speaker 2: I was getting confused because there's a line here in

364
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 2: this story san Diego originally from Berkeley.

365
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 6: I got confused without too for a half a second.

366
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm gonna call him Daniel, otherwise everyone listening

367
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 2: is going to get confused. He started as an eco

368
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 2: terrorist in the early two thousands. He lived just outside

369
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: of Sonoma in the town of Shellville, and then he

370
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 2: started joining these terrorist groups, well, animal rights groups, excuse me,

371
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: stop Huntington, Stop Huntington, animal cruelty, and the Animal Liberation Brigade.

372
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: Which organization you belong to?

373
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 5: I don't belong to any.

374
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: You don't belong to?

375
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 5: I do not.

376
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 2: His first bombings were in Emeryville August twenty eighth, two

377
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 2: thousand and three, targeting the Shyn Corporation. There was some

378
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 2: property damage, not much, and then a second bomb went

379
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 2: off and that was timed to try to hit the

380
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: first responders, so the first bomb would get the rescuers

381
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: to come, and then the second bomb was supposed to

382
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 2: take them out. Then he set off another bomb at

383
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 2: Shackley Corporation in Pleasanton, again in property damage, but the

384
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: FBI had enough. He was on twenty four hour watch

385
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: and Daniel found he was under FBI surveillance and lost

386
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: them in San Francisco, disappeared and he hasn't been seen

387
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 2: since he was indicted in four In two thousand and nine.

388
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 2: He was the first domestic terrorist ever added to the

389
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: FBI's most wanted list and the only sightings have been

390
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 2: out of the country. Well, I should take that back.

391
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 2: First in Canada, then they thought they saw him in

392
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 2: Massachusetts and Hawaii, and then he ended up in Wales

393
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: and that's where they arrested him. Twenty one years on

394
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 2: the run. He was arrested in the Conway area of Wales,

395
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: and now he's going to get extradited to la.

396
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: Now he.

397
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: Eventually. This is the FBI's wanted poster. How he was described.

398
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 2: He's known to follow a vegan diet.

399
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, there's lots of people that aren't terrorists that

400
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 6: are vegan.

401
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 5: But I'm just gonna.

402
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: Say I noticed this.

403
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: This turns up though frequently in the when we do

404
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: stories about I don't recall raised criminals.

405
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 5: No, I don't know very many of them that are vegan.

406
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: He's known to follow a vegan diet.

407
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: When you know, get all your nutrients, it does something

408
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: to the brain, makes you makes you aggressive.

409
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: Look, I'm mad.

410
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 6: You're getting now I am because you're saying, you're saying

411
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 6: something false and accusatory.

412
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: Well, he is following a vegan diet. That was true.

413
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: He eats no meat or any food containing animal products.

414
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 2: And you know, he was a computer network specialist and

415
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 2: he's skilled its sailing. He's probably been traveling around the

416
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: world on a boat. And he does have a handgun. Say, okay,

417
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: he has a handgun, what's your point? And he's hungry

418
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: all the time because he's a vegan.

419
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 5: I'm not hungry all the time.

420
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 6: I eat lots of lots of food, and I am satiated.

421
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 6: There you are with what my my vegan satiating you?

422
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: Anyway? That guy, that guy's been taken out of circuit.

423
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: Can I can I just say I figured there was

424
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: an editorial guy there is.

425
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm vegan, and yes I am all for animal rights,

426
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 6: but I'm not for I'm just gonna throw.

427
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 5: This out there.

428
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 6: It might surprise you, but I'm not for violin okay,

429
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 6: when it comes to protecting animals, unless unless there are

430
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 6: some people that abuse animals, and then I think that

431
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 6: the dog, for instance, if somebody abuses a dog, let

432
00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 6: the dog bite that person.

433
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 5: I'm okay with that.

434
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 6: But I'm not about blowing buildings up and doing anything

435
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 6: like that. Therefore, I'm not an extremist.

436
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah well, yeah, but yeah, we got we're getting fan

437
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 2: letters now from Pete.

438
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 6: Okay, because they liked the story that we did about

439
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 6: the butterball turkey right that they they thought that, and

440
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 6: they also agreed with me that just because it happened

441
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 6: a long time ago, and that allegedly things got cleaned up,

442
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 6: that there aren't other turkey places that are not abusing animals.

443
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 5: In fact, they also talked about.

444
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 2: The world's perfect people eat everything, you know, you don't

445
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 2: need to abuse turkeys.

446
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 6: And I could go and read what they wrote, what

447
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 6: Peter wrote about what happens to some turkeys.

448
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 5: But I don't want to upset people.

449
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: You would upset people. And then yeah, they all they

450
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 2: want they don't want. They just want to eat dinner,

451
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 2: that's all.

452
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they don't.

453
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 6: Okay, let me ask you this, what kind of people

454
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 6: you think are hired to tear apart in turkeys?

455
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 4: All right?

456
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 5: I thought about that.

457
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: Not getting hard graduates, I get.

458
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 6: It, But why do you have to abuse an animal?

459
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 6: And if you knew a turkey that's going to be

460
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 6: on your table tomorrow was physically abused and killed inhumanly, Eric,

461
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 6: you don't even say anything.

462
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna say it was tenderized.

463
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 6: Come on, guys, seriously, if you found out that the

464
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 6: turkey before it, before it was killed, it was abused you,

465
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 6: you'd be happy.

466
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 5: You would be eating it.

467
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 2: Happily after I took it out of an oven where

468
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: he makes no difference to me.

469
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: How do you How hot do you cook a turkey

470
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: in an oven? What is that?

471
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 2: Probably like four hundred degrees? I was gonnay at least

472
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: four hundred, yeah, four hundred. So I mean he's already

473
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: had a bad day.

474
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 6: Maybe it was humanely euthanized, and then when it's dead,

475
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 6: it doesn't know that it's being cooked. I'm talking about

476
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 6: what happens to turkeys before there.

477
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 5: I coot an o.

478
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: If you're very sensitive, and that's that's admirable.

479
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 5: Well, I can't. I can't.

480
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 6: I can't stand people abusing harmless.

481
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: Getting even angrier I am, and I'm not hungry.

482
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, she's on the most wanted list.

483
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: All right, more coming up.

484
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 2: All the LA politicians who criticize Trump and are resisting

485
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: Trump and denouncing Trump passing resolutions. They want three billion

486
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 2: dollars from Trump for all their stupid Olympic transportation projects.

487
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 2: We'll get into those details next. Their Olympic transportation projects.

488
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 2: You know what they should have had the three billion

489
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 2: dollars saved before they went after the Olympics. Now they

490
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 2: want the other states, other taxpayers to pay for this.

491
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: Talk about that coming up, Deborah Mark, Are you calm then.

492
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 5: I'm breathing. I'm not yelling. I'm not going to water

493
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 5: and yelling. I'm just doing deep breaths.

494
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A

495
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 4: six forty.

496
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 2: We're on the air every day from one until four

497
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: at John Cobelt Radio. Is how you can follow us

498
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: on social media? Well this is rich.

499
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: You have.

500
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: The mayor of Los Angeles and the LA County Supervisors,

501
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: and you know most of them, if not all of them,

502
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: would spend all day and night denouncing Donald Trump passing resolutions.

503
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: They want to be part of the resistance. I would

504
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 2: love boy. Maybe I should spend some time this weekend

505
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 2: and look at all the negative comments that this crowd

506
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 2: has made against Trump, and now they're going to be

507
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 2: asking him for over three billion dollars to pay for

508
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: their Olympic transportation projects. Silly Eric Garcetti, who is last

509
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: seen in India doing all those stupid dance moves.

510
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 5: Have you been practicing those moves?

511
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 1: Oh?

512
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 2: Stop it, don't remind me Okay, just don't remind me.

513
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 2: I want to spend the weekend in peace. Force me

514
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 2: into those dance moves during the PASTA thought. Anyway, they're

515
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: asking him for three billion dollars now now they so

516
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: they bid for the Olympics, and then Karen Bass announced

517
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 2: that this is gonna be a car free Olympics, that

518
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 2: we're going to be able to have all the fans

519
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: get to the Olympics sites and they're going to be

520
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: spread all over the county and they're gonna be able

521
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 2: to get there and nobody has to drive a car.

522
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: And everybody said, what huh, how's that going to work? Well,

523
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 2: she's going to go to Donald Trump and get three

524
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: billion dollars out of him. Oh wow, I want to

525
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 2: be at that meeting. Well that'll go over well. This

526
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: this is They sent the letter to him asking Trump

527
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: to set aside funds in the next twenty twenty six

528
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: federal budget because the twenty twenty five budget has already

529
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: begun on October first, and the letter says, with ten

530
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: to fifteen million ticket holders projected, these games will be

531
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 2: the largest sporting event held in our nation's history. Well,

532
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: maybe you should have gotten funding before you bid on

533
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,479
Speaker 2: the event. Who does this? Who decides to set up

534
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: an event that's going to attract fifteen million people and

535
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 2: then say, oh, we don't have we don't have the

536
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: trains and buses to get there. We want to deliver

537
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 2: a safe, secure, efficient and accessible mobility system, a mobility system.

538
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: Now they couldn't get this money out of out of

539
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: the Biden administration. This is I guess Metro has a

540
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 2: big part in this. And the Trump team hasn't even responded,

541
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: And the La Times called up the Trump transition team.

542
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 2: Nobody responded to The Times either. Now meantime, you have

543
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 2: Newsome who has sworn pretty much that he's going to

544
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: spend every waking moment over the next two years Trump

545
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 2: at every turn. Well, if if you think he's a

546
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 2: I wonder if you thought I think he's a fascist

547
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: and a Nazi, you think he's going to give you.

548
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:10,479
Speaker 1: Three billion dollars?

549
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 2: And when did they They applied for these Olympics quite

550
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 2: a while ago, because Paris beat them out for twenty

551
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: twenty four, So I would I think that they probably

552
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: Garcetti was still Mayor's probably three years ago, four years ago,

553
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: because usually right at the end of the old Olympics.

554
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 2: They bid for the new Olympics, and LA wanted twenty

555
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 2: twenty four, but they gave it to Paris instead and

556
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: gave gave LA.

557
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty eight.

558
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 2: Janis Hahn, whose intellect is not to be confused with

559
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 2: Elon Musks, She goes, this isn't just.

560
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: The LA Olympics, it's our entire nation's Olympics.

561
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: I would think that President elect Trump would want to

562
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: make sure they're success and reflect well on our country.

563
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: He didn't put the bid on you, dead, you pay

564
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: for it.

565
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 2: Imagine she's asking taxpayers in all the other states to

566
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: pay for this boondoggle because they want a car free

567
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: green Olympics. Metro transit planners have been hoping to use

568
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 2: the Olympics to accomplish a long wish list of projects.

569
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 2: Bus lanes across Venice Boulevard and miles of bus lanes,

570
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: forty bike sharing stations in South LA. People going into

571
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 2: the Olympics are not going to be biking out of

572
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 2: South La.

573
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: Stop it.

574
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: They want to create mobility hubs with Wi Fi and

575
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 2: concessions where shuttles can take fans to venues. Boy, this

576
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: is a lot they want to build in about five years.

577
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: The most expensive is a two billion dollar request to

578
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 2: buy twenty seven hundred buses. That's twice as many buses

579
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: as Metro currently has. They have ten expensive projects, and

580
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 2: they have seven billion dollars set aside a private organizing committee,

581
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 2: but it's not going to cover Metro's costs to increase

582
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: public transit. So they were hoping the Olympics would be

583
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: excuse to get financing to build out the transit system

584
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 2: that they can't afford to build out on their own right,

585
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 2: and then we would keep the new transit system right,

586
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: they'd build it out, and then we'd have it past

587
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: the Olympics. And this was their clever way of expanding

588
00:32:53,160 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: the system without having to pay for it themselves. One

589
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 2: one writer, John Rennie Short, who's written a book on

590
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: hosting the Olympic Games, it's going to be an extremely

591
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 2: hard sell. It's California and Los Angeles not a strump,

592
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: a Trump stronghold. Well it's not only that there are

593
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 2: you know that he loses California. I think it was like,

594
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, almost sixty forty. But all the Democratic

595
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: politicians insult him, denounce him, promise to fight him in court.

596
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 2: Over every single issue, and then it's like, oh, well, hey,

597
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 2: could you give us three billion?

598
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: These people are idiots.

599
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 2: Instead of Newsom declaring war on Trump, he might want

600
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 2: to get along with Trump. Same thing with all the

601
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 2: idiot councilor well, yeah, the council people too, but the

602
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 2: supervisors Lindsey Horvath, Hilda Salase, what's the other other nuts name? No,

603
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 2: Nithi Roman City Council. Oh, it doesn't matter. They're ridiculous.

604
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: I hope he doesn't give him the money. Now what

605
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 2: are you going to do? Oh well, well, now we're

606
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 2: not going to have bike lanes, all right? Uh we

607
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 2: come back. Oh, I know what I want to talk about.

608
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 2: There's another La County thing, Holly Mitchell. That's the other

609
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 2: idiot supervisor. The supervisors in the news for something else

610
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 2: in their war on Trump. They want to spend millions

611
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 2: of dollars for illegal aliens and transgender residents. And it

612
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 2: looks like there's new sexual categories that I never heard

613
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: of before. This is exciting. We'll talk about that coming up.

614
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 2: This is what they do. They spent three years not

615
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 2: putting aside money for the Olympics, but they have millions

616
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 2: of dollars for illegal aliens and transgender residents. I don't

617
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 2: know how you spend millions. There aren't that many, all right,

618
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,239
