I don't know 10 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: what his role was, but he needed a half million 11 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,919 Speaker 2: dollars in campaign money to spend it on lawyers. He 12 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: is also announcing a online platform for you to report 13 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 2: illegal actions by ICE agents.

I am human? 20 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 4: John? 21 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,559 Speaker 1: You're human? Alex? That's right. Yeah. 22 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: So California in general has been trying to figure out 23 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 2: how to rein in what you might call the unorthodox 24 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 2: way that the federal agents have been carrying out the 25 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: immigration operations, and quite honestly, among local police here there 26 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: has been displeasure the tactics of the Feds. Use that 27 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: their lack of organization, their lack of safety procedures, and 28 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: that law enforcement are trained to do when they're carrying 29 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: out a raid or an arrest, non traditional ways of 30 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: doing it, not wearing uniforms. 31 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 1: But it is what the Feds are doing. 32 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 2: And you know, there's that that recently passed law in California. 33 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: Now La County's trying to do the same thing, to 34 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: ban masks on federal agents and clothing that the lacks 35 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: identifiable information or even what agentsy they're with. And the 36 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: Trump administration is saying you can't do that, that we 37 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: are federal agents. State can't tell us what to do. 38 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 2: And now California Attorney General Rob Bonta announcing this. 39 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 5: Today, We're launching an online portal where members of the 40 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 5: public can report potentially unlawful conduct by federal agents operating 41 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 5: in our state. 42 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 2: So until this point, there's really been no recourse for 43 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: somebody who wants to make a complaint against a federal 44 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: agent carrying out immigration enforcement because, not surprisingly, the Feds 45 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: don't want to hear it, and you probably don't even 46 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 2: know who you're going to complain too, because most aren't 47 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,399 Speaker 2: wearing any identifiable, real identifiable a serial number or a name, 48 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: and sometimes even what agency they are. But there have 49 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: been things as they've been doing the operations, like use 50 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: of force and crowd control and rounding up US citizens 51 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: that people have complained about. And California says that the 52 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: online portal is going to allow people to file complaints 53 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: with the California Department of Justice, upload photos and videos, 54 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: and if warranted, the state will then investigate and take 55 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: legal action against the federal agent and or the agency. 56 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 5: Federal agents may definitely enforce the law in a lawful manner, 57 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 5: but they must follow the constitution and they're not above 58 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 5: accountability now. 59 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: John in reality other than maybe reality. Yeah, turning into 60 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: two more lawsuits against Trump administration and Bonta files. 61 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: One about every day. 62 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 2: That's it's a NonStop stream of lawsuits against Trump administration. 63 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: It's not clear what this actually means. 64 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 2: It seems unlikely that California is going to build a 65 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: case against federal agents and then send local or state 66 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 2: law enforcement into to go and arrest federal agents. They're 67 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: not going to do that. Local and state police aren't 68 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: going to go and I mean unless it's something totally 69 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: egregious that they are not going to go and put 70 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: federal agents into two cuffs. But more than anything could 71 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 2: be lawsuits against the agents. 72 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 5: But the agcent when Californians witness conduct that looks unlawful, 73 00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 5: excessive force, unnecessary detentions, unconstitutional searches, they deserve a place 74 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 5: to report it, a place where their information is taken seriously. 75 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 5: This portal helps us do just that. 76 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: Again, maybe for a lawsuit. 77 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: But the administration is responding saying California should be more 78 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: concerned with quote dangerous criminal illegal aliens end quote, and 79 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 2: bill a sale. The US attorney here, acting US attorney 80 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: in LA, saying, he too has an online portal, but 81 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 2: it's to report corrupt California politicians and yeah, for all 82 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 2: the bribes that everybody in the news of administration has 83 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 2: been taking for the last seven years. So he flipped 84 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 2: it around and said, use my portal if you want 85 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 2: to make complaints against the California leadership. But the state 86 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: is saying, now, if you feel like that you have 87 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: been wronged by a federal agent, which you know there 88 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 2: are a lot of people who have been out in 89 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 2: the streets as things have gone down and they have 90 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: concerns about this or that they now have a place 91 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: where they can go and upload their videos and their 92 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 2: photos and say, California look into this, and then who 93 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: knows what's. 94 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: Going to happen. 95 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: You know that gone back to the to the the 96 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 2: you have to wear a mask, Squaw, you have to 97 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 2: wear a mask. But we've had playing close police officers 98 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: and undercover agents forever. Everybody in law enforcement on every 99 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 2: level has not had to be fully in uniform and 100 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: fully identifiable. You've always had people working blending in. That's 101 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: how you catch bad guys. Yeah, Now law enforcement would 102 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: say that is when they're in a very specified you know, 103 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 2: like a drug operation or something like that, and not 104 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 2: typically when they are in a more general sense of 105 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 2: in a protest. I mean you'll see laped has the 106 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 2: last name of the officer emblazoned on the back of 107 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 2: their helmet and on their chest and badge numbers and 108 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: everything else sheriff's department, the same thing that typically when 109 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 2: it's in a more general law enforcement you're identifying that 110 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: these are real, that these are not people impostors impersonating 111 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: a police officer that they want to make it clear. 112 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean there always have been a undercover officers. 113 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: It's a getting pulled over on the freeway by an 114 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 2: unmarked car. Typically that doesn't go on. In fact, in 115 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: the state of California. The reason why I'm not going 116 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: to get too dorky here with you right now, but 117 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: if it is a vehicle that is used primarily for 118 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: traffic enforcement under the law, has to be marked. That 119 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 2: is why you now see the CHP has these new 120 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 2: minimally marked Dodge Durangos. I think they're durgos that they're 121 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: driving where they're great. I've seen them in action where 122 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: those who like to weave in and out of traffic 123 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 2: or go speeding by, they never see these things coming 124 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 2: because they look like family suv. But they have a 125 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: ghosted image of the CHP decal on the door, so 126 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 2: it's a minimal compliance. 127 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: So they in real life you wouldn't notice them. 128 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: They are complying with the law that they are marked, 129 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 2: even though they are it's a ghosted in image, it's 130 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 2: minimally marked. But yeah, so at least the state law 131 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 2: is that if it's somebody who unless it's an emergency. 132 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: You know, you see the the LAPD captains and whatnot 133 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: in their chargers as they go by their great chargers 134 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 2: on the freeway, but typically they're not pulling people over. 135 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 2: So normally, if it is somebody who's having regular interaction 136 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 2: with the public, they are usually in uniform and in 137 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 2: a marked vehicle. But the federal agents are doing something 138 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: totally different in the now the Trump administration suing against 139 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: the state law about no masks and wearing identifiable uniforms. 140 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: The Trump administration is saying, what are you going to 141 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: do about it? That we are federal agents, that the 142 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: state of California doesn't dictate what federal agents do, and 143 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: that's going to be for the courts to figure out 144 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: when they are operating in California, does California law over 145 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: law enforcement. 146 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: Actions apply at all? 147 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 2: The federal agents who are acting as law enforcement in 148 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: the state of California, dig Bets on the La County 149 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: Supervisor's Board, they just passed one of these laws. Oh 150 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: you know, we're not going to allow federal agents who 151 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 2: have it just like the same thing that California doing. 152 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: What are you gonna do about it? But that's the thing. 153 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: I was having a single arrest in the whole nation 154 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: of a federal agent. No so, and that's really thing. 155 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: I was talking to senior law enforcement leadership a couple 156 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: of weeks ago about this, and they were saying, we're 157 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: not going to go and arrest federal agents. Yeah, they've 158 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: got to work with them. The FBI works with the 159 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: Sheriff's Department and the LAPD and Burbank Police and Newport Beach, 160 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: but they work together all the time. They don't want 161 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: to create a relationship where they're coming after each other 162 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 2: and it's law enforcement agency to law enforcement agency. Unless again, 163 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,599 Speaker 2: unless it's like child molestation or embezzling, or say, you 164 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 2: know something that is very clearly criminal, they're not going 165 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 2: to go and arrest essentially one of their own. But 166 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 2: there is displeasure among a lot of law enforcement of 167 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 2: the way, as I was saying, of the way that 168 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 2: federal agents are carrying these out, because they are not 169 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 2: doing it in a traditional and safe way. Typically, just 170 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: running out of trucks and chasing people through home depot 171 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: parking lots is not in the manual for most law enforcement, 172 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 2: and so a lot of local law enforcement is saying 173 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: they don't like how they're boxing. The Feds are boxing 174 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 2: people in and that's leading to to shootings and different things. 175 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 2: It's not a real traditional way of doing it, but 176 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 2: it is the way the Feds are doing it, all right, Alex, 177 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 2: very good, Thank you for coming on it.

So The 207 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 2: New York Times has the section on their website and 208 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 2: in their newspaper called deal Book, and every year they 209 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 2: have a speaking event, and Gavin Newsom was there this year, 210 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 2: and they have all kinds of business and political luminaries 211 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: and they sit on stage and there's some New York 212 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 2: Times hack that tosses softball questions. Well, among the people 213 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 2: who came out on stage was Holly Berry, the actress, 214 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 2: and Holly Berry really pissed at Newsome. There's a healthcare 215 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 2: bill which would fund menopause care for women, and Newsom 216 00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 2: vetoed it. Basically it would cost too much money, which 217 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 2: is curious since he's spending thirteen billion dollars on I 218 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 2: legal alien healthcare. 219 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: Well, Holly Berry, let it rip. But the opposite of that. 220 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 6: Back in my great state of California, my very own 221 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 6: Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill not one, 222 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 6: but two years in a row. But that's okay because 223 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 6: he's not going to be governor forever, and with the 224 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 6: way he's overlooked women half the population by devaluing us 225 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 6: in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either. 226 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,599 Speaker 6: Just saying I need every woman in this country to 227 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 6: fight with me. But the truth is the fight isn't 228 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 6: just for us women. 229 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 4: We need men too. 230 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 6: We need all of the leaders, every single one of 231 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 6: you in this room. This fight needs you. Now. 232 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 2: This is a bill that would spend money on menopause care, 233 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 2: research and education about women's health. And it's two years 234 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 2: in a row he's vetoed it. I hadn't heard about this, 235 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 2: but I mean, menopause is a serious. 236 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 7: Issue for women, and every woman goes through it at 237 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 7: one point or another. 238 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 2: And you know, if new someb is given away thirteen 239 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 2: billion to illegal aliens, he should have a few dollars 240 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 2: to deal with with the menopause research. I'm she says, 241 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 2: at this stage in my life, I have zero f's 242 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 2: left to give. I imagine it's not just a menopause bill. 243 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: She's unhappy to do some about it. Just just sounded 244 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 2: like it. And she also went off about the pressure 245 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 2: women are under. Our culture thinks that at fifty nine 246 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 2: years old, I am past my prime. That women my 247 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 2: age start to become invisible in Hollywood, the workplace, on 248 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: social media, women are pressure to stay forever thirty five. 249 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: We're complimented if we seem to be aging backwards or 250 00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 2: defying gravity, as if that's even possible.

And he traveled thirty two 336 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 2: trips to twenty three countries, and we paid for a 337 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: lot of it, and the insurance industry paid for the rest. 338 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 2: And he doesn't even have receipts for two thirds of it. 339 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 2: So you got to listen to the one o'clock hour 340 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: on the podcast if you missed it. All right, let's 341 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 2: go to Carl Demayo and he's the Republican assemblymen down 342 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 2: from San Diego. Reform California is his organization, and he 343 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 2: is in the process of getting on the ballot a 344 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 2: proposition that would require voter id for elections. 345 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: Carl, how are you. 346 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 9: We're working hard and time is running out, so every 347 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 9: moment is important. We're on our statewide bus tour. I'm 348 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 9: actually up in the Northern California area today. We were 349 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 9: in the Bay area all this week. Yes, we went 350 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 9: to the Gates of Hell. We didn't go inside Hell, 351 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 9: but we kind of tiptoed around it. But we're doing 352 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 9: our final events this week next week in the following 353 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 9: week for the turn in of petitions with signatures to 354 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 9: put the California Voter ID Initiative on the ballot.

First, 358 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 9: do as many signature collections as you can in the 359 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 9: next four weeks. Join me at one of our events. 360 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 9: We have a number of them coming up in southern California. 361 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 9: This weekend, We're going to be in Palm Springs, Corona, Ventura, 362 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 9: Santa Clarita, Victorville. Then we're going to be back in 363 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 9: Honeyton Beach and Lagodnaguel Your Belinda and all throughout San 364 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 9: Diego County. So you can get all the information at 365 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,719 Speaker 9: voter id Initiative dot com voter ide Initiative dot com. 366 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 9: That's where all the event the events are posted. Bring friends, 367 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 9: and also if you just simply want to sign the petition, 368 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 9: go to voter ID Initiative dot com voter id Initiative 369 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 9: dot com. You can download, print, sign and mail it 370 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 9: back in before the deadline on December thirty first. 371 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: And it's a simple proposition. 372 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 2: This should require everybody who wants to vote to show 373 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 2: their ID before they do vote. 374 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 9: That's right, but it also does something even more powerful. 375 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 9: It cleanses our voter roles. It requires an audit of 376 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 9: each county's voter role every two years before an election 377 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 9: to make sure that only eligible people are on And 378 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 9: it also requires citizenship verification. And this has been a 379 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 9: problem where illegal immigrants have gotten driver's license in the 380 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 9: DMV has done motor voter automatically registering people to vote, 381 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 9: and we know that that has been a big problem 382 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 9: of undermining trust and confidence. So we really need people 383 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,719 Speaker 9: to understand that auditing voter roles and citizenship verification are 384 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 9: also part of this initiative, in addition to just the 385 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 9: standard voter ID requirement that everyone knows about. 386 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: How would it affect mail in voting. 387 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 9: You know, I don't particularly like mail in ballots, but 388 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 9: California voters you do. So we do not affect mail 389 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 9: in ballots, except you still have to show your identity 390 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 9: by having the last four the last four digits of your. 391 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: ID and ballot. Oh okay, is that the way it 392 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: is now because I never voted by mail. 393 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 3: No. 394 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 9: No, the way it is now is you just simply 395 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 9: do a little bit of scratching to approximate your signature, 396 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 9: and the signature reviews, John are actually not being done properly. 397 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: There's a shock. 398 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 9: It basically is the Wild West. When you switch to 399 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 9: the four digits, the last four digits of a government ID, 400 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 9: it's like the four digit pen on a bank card. 401 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 9: It's very secure, and we allow voters to decide what 402 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 9: government ID they want to use. They also can request 403 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 9: a voter card so that there's no barrier to voting 404 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,959 Speaker 9: in California. We give people a free voter card if 405 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 9: they would like one, but you can use your driver's license, 406 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 9: a passport, social Security card if you'd like. But it's 407 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 9: a very common sense reform measure, and that's why the 408 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 9: polling shows John that when we get this on the ballot, 409 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 9: it's going to pass. Sixty eight percent of Californians support 410 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 9: voter ID, Seventy nine percent support the audits and the 411 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 9: citizenship verification. Overall support is in the mid seventies and 412 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 9: even fifty three percent of California Democrats support the initiative. 413 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 9: But the only people who don't support it, the La 414 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 9: Times editorial board and Sacramento politicians. 415 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 2: Well, the good good news is I think that editorial 416 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 2: board got disbanded. 417 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: Didn't it. 418 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 9: Oh who knows anything. They actually need to be arre 419 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 9: They need to be arrested and held accountable for their 420 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 9: pulpability and the crimes that have been perpetrated on the poor, 421 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 9: the poor people of Los Angeles. 422 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: Oh my god. All right, voter ID. 423 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 2: That's the referendum you're getting on the ballot and need 424 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,719 Speaker 2: a million signatures. We got seven hundred and fifty thousand, 425 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 2: and we've got to get everything done by December thirty first. 426 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 2: And you heard Carl talk about all the towns that 427 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 2: they're touring through. Please go to the website again. Carl 428 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 2: listed websites so everyone can get the information. 429 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 9: Hey, go to voteride Initiative dot com, voter ID Initiative 430 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 9: dot com, or just go to Reform California dot org 431 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 9: and all the informations there as well. 432 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 1: All right, Carl, great work, Thank you.

But yeah, voter ID would be 438 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 2: a big deal here in California. God knows what goes. 439 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 2: I don't trust it. I don't trust voter voter. I 440 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 2: don't trust mailing ballots. I don't trust certainly the ballot 441 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 2: harvesting nonsense. I think that's got a lot to do 442 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 2: with the big margins that the One Party has in 443 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 2: this state. 444 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: They have, really they this this place really is rigged. 445 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 8: All right. 446 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 2: When we come back, we got a clip to play 447 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 2: for you of of Ilha Omar.

Okay, 496 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: so he's bulletproof, he thinks so. And then ilhan Omar 497 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 2: and these Somalians who were ripping off the Minnesota tax payer, 498 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 2: they figure, well, well we'll just call them racist. I mean, 499 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 2: they actually found memos they found memos where some of 500 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 2: these criminals were discussing what to do if you're confronted 501 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 2: and you just scream racism and everybody will go run 502 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 2: away and hide. And that's how Tim Wallf's governed Minnesota. 503 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 2: He let them loot the place because he didn't want 504 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,959 Speaker 2: to be called racist, or he believes it is racist. 505 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, but he is. 506 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 2: He's just a really sad clown. But what did ilhan 507 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 2: Omar know. You know, a Smilind community. They organize themselves 508 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 2: according to clans, which happens in a number of nations, 509 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 2: and you're either in the clan or you're not. And 510 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 2: the very close knit and you talk about not being inclusive. 511 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 2: They don't want outsiders getting into their business. And I'm 512 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 2: going to lay out the case against ilhan Omar. It 513 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 2: seems impossible that she didn't know that a lot of 514 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 2: this theft was going on. And this was a welfare stamp, 515 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 2: that's what it was. 516 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 9: It was for. 517 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 2: Nutritional benefits, it's for like autism programs. 518 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: It was a lot of fraud. 519 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: And Jake Tapper asked ilhan Omar on CNN yesterday, if 520 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 2: she knew what was going on, you shed. 521 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 9: Any light on why the fraud got so out of 522 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 9: control in Minnesota. 523 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 3: I think what happened is that, you know, when you 524 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 3: have these kind of new programs that are designed to 525 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 3: help people, you're oftentimes relying on third parties to be 526 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 3: able to facilitate. And I just think that a lot 527 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 3: of the COVID programs that were set up, they were 528 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 3: set up so quickly that a lot of the guardrails 529 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 3: did not get created. 530 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, did she raise any any concerns? I think that's 531 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 2: the phrase, where any concerns raised at the time that 532 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 2: you created these massive programs that there were no guardrails. 533 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 2: And these third party entities are the nonprofits, the corrupt nonprofits. 534 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: Here in Los Angeles and in California, the main nonprofit 535 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 2: industry in this corruption racket is homelessness. In Minnesota, it 536 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 2: was Somalians ripping off welfare benefits. 537 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: Well. 538 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 2: According to The New York Post, johan Omar had parties 539 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 2: at one of the key restaurants named in the fraud, Knew, 540 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 2: one of its owners now convicted, and one of her 541 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 2: own staffers has also been convicted, both for stealing millions 542 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 2: of dollars. And that's why she opened her little statement 543 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 2: with uh, she knows a ton of stuff and Jake 544 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: Tapper at the time of the interview should have known 545 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 2: all this and boor in on her. I mean she 546 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 2: knew one of the owners convicted, one of her staffers convicted. 547 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 2: She held her victory party when she was elected to 548 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 2: Congress back in twenty eighteen at one of the restaurants 549 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 2: that was intimately involved in the fraud. Omar even introduced 550 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 2: the bill that led to two hundred and fifty million 551 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 2: dollars in fraud. And according to Bill Glhan, a policy 552 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 2: fellow with the Center of the American Experiment that's based 553 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 2: in Minnesota, Omar knew who these people were. People she 554 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 2: personally knew were making tens of millions of dollars a 555 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 2: year in this program. That's what he told the Post. 556 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 2: She'd been inside this Safari restaurant on numerous occasions and couldn't. 557 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: Put two and two together. Either she's terminally naive or 558 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: she knew and she didn't care. 559 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 2: Two hundred and fifty million dollars of the one billion 560 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 2: was handed out by the Minnesota government to provide meals 561 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 2: to school children. Instead, it was stolen by corrupt business owners, 562 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 2: including Salem Ahmed Said, co owner of the Safari Restaurant 563 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 2: where Omar held her twenty eighteen congressional victory party, said, 564 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 2: found guilty in August stealing twelve million. You know what 565 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 2: he claimed he did that he served four million phantom 566 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 2: meals to children during the pandemic. Four million kids he 567 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 2: claimed to feed. 568 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: It was zero. He stole all the money. What did 569 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: he spend it on? 570 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 2: Two million dollars on a Minneapolis mansion and he had 571 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 2: a huge shopping habit, thousands of dollars every month at nordstrums. 572 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 2: You have to get involved in one of these nonprofit scamps's. 573 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 8: I really do. I'm feeling very left out. 574 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: You know that that's where you get the money you need. 575 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 2: There was a lot of Most of the money was 576 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 2: funneled through a corrupt nonprofit called Feeding Our Future. It 577 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 2: allowed nonprofits and for profit businesses to be reimbursed with 578 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 2: tax money for feeding kids. 579 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: There was hardly any oversight. 580 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 2: And as the scam was going on in twenty twenty, 581 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 2: Omar appeared on video at the Safari restaurant to praise 582 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 2: the program. And one more thing, Somalia doesn't have a government, 583 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 2: not a functioning government, and David Gaitner. David Gaither is 584 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 2: a former Minnesota legislature who runs an adult education center 585 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 2: for Somali immigrants, so he knows what's going on. He goes, 586 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 2: when you raise your hand and call all this into question, 587 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 2: you get handed the racism card. You're shamed and put 588 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 2: into a corner. Especially if you're some mid level bureaucrat. 589 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 2: You're told to take some remedial training and look the 590 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 2: other way. The Somali community, said Gaither has a distrust 591 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 2: of norms in our society like Minnesota. 592 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: Nice. 593 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 2: They're conditioned to ripping off the government because that's what 594 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 2: goes on in Somalia. 595 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: And that is a problem with a lot. 596 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 2: When you have too much of a population coming from 597 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 2: one country that only knows corruption, what's gonna happen.
