1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Can't if I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: This is Carl Demayo filling in for John Cobelt. As

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a state Assembly member up here in Sacramento.

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: I've only been on the job a little over one

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: hundred days. But apparently I'm already pissing off a bunch

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: of people. They don't like me, and that means I'm

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: doing probably something right. They've already thrown me off the

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: Budget Committee after only two hearings because we decided to

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: walk in and read the budget as a committee member.

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: As a member of the budget Committee, I figured, hmm,

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: what should my first order of business be? And I figured,

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, and I could have been

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: completely wrong. I figured I might want to open up

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: the budget and look at it line by line see

16
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: where politicians are spending your taxpayer money. And we found

17
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: a whole lot of wasteful spending. And so know what,

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: my first hearing, I decided, Okay, now that I'm on

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: the budget committee, I should start asking why are we

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: spending this much? Why are we spending money on this

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,279
Speaker 1: program or that program? How much are we spending? And

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: they didn't like that. They didn't like it when I

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: asked the question, how can you say our budget is

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: quote balanced when we're spending seven billion dollars more than

25
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: we're taking in. That doesn't sound like balanced to me.

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: I think most people when they're sitting around their kitchen table,

27
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: if they said, you know, are bills this year, they're

28
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: going to be one hundred thousand dollars, but thank god

29
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: that we're earning seventy thousand because we're now balanced. What

30
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: do you mean your budget is balanced because I'm taking

31
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: out of credit card and putting the rest on my

32
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: credit card, maxing it out thirty grand in credit card debt.

33
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: See I'm balanced. No, oh, you're going bankrupt real quick.

34
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: You're in debt. You're spending more than you're taking in.

35
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 1: So they didn't like the fact that we just walk

36
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: through line by line the budget and started shining a light.

37
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: At my first hearing, I also exposed the fact that

38
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom was, well, let's just say what it is.

39
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: He lied to the taxpayers. This isn't just one of

40
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: those oops I got it wrong, because there's a lot

41
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: of the oops I got it wrong with Gavin Newsom,

42
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: but it never admits that he's wrong. He always sits

43
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: there there with that cheshire cat grin. You like my hair,

44
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: that's right. It takes a lot of gel, not a

45
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: combing in the morning, man, to look this, to look

46
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: this hot, look this attractive. Yeah, that's right, that's right. Man.

47
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: Like the gray Yeah, yeah, I figured it makes me

48
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: look distinguished and wise. Now it makes you look like

49
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: a tool. So Newsom lied to the public a year

50
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: ago when he said, Hey, let's cover illegal immigrants and

51
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: give him free health care at taxpayer expense. It's gonna

52
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: save us money. You see, it's only gonna cost six

53
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: point five billion. Okay, wait, it's gonna save us money.

54
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: It's only going to cost us six point five billion.

55
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: How do you square that, mister governor. Of course the

56
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: liberal media doesn't ask that sort of question, But that's

57
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: a sort of question I ask as again as a

58
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: new representative coming in, kicking the tires, looking at the books.

59
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, I spent thirty years as

60
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: a government watchdog analyzing federal, state, and local government financial statements,

61
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: so I kind of know where the bodies are buried. Yeah,

62
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: they made a real bad error in putting me on

63
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: the budget committee. Guess they didn't look at my CV

64
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: or my resume or my background anyway. So I said, wait, wait, wait,

65
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: you said we're going to save money a year ago

66
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: it would only cost six point three billion. Oh, he

67
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: said that the federal government would reimburse because all of

68
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: these illegal immigrants would be covered under Medicaid, or in

69
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: California we call it medical it's the program for low

70
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: income families that can't afford healthcare. Taxpayers say, look, you know,

71
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: we don't want anyone to go without. We want to

72
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: get basic health coverage when they're poor. So we have

73
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: a Medicaid medical program, and a lot of those programs

74
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: expenses are reimbursed by the federal government. Oh but there's

75
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: this little thing called federal law, and the federal law

76
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,559
Speaker 1: says you can't get a Medicaid reimbursement for someone who

77
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: is quote ineligible to receive the federal benefit. And funny

78
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: thing about federal law, there's this provision in the federal

79
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: Medicaid Maid Statute that says you have to be a

80
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: US citizen to receive the coverage. And so California put

81
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: in for all these reimbursements with the federal government in

82
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: the Joe Biden administration, and even Joe Biden's administration did

83
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: not approve the reimbursement, and so all that money hit

84
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: the books of the state budget to be paid for

85
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: by California taxpayers. And nobody asked the question. Nobody knew,

86
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: nobody knew that this was happening until I showed up

87
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: at the budget committee hearing on day one and said,

88
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: how much are we actually spending on illegal immigrant health care?

89
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: And how much of that is in the general fund?

90
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: The general fund being how much are we having to

91
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: pay because the federal government won't reimburse answer? Not six

92
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: point five billion. Nine point five billion, and all of

93
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: that except for a small percentage. And I would argue

94
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: that that small percentage ultimately will be put back in

95
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: the general fund. It's being put on the backs of

96
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: California state taxpayers. Get this because it costs US nine

97
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: point five billion to cover illegal immigrants for free health

98
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: care at your expense, taxpayer expense, One out of four

99
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: dollars in the State of California budget general fund for

100
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: medical goes to an illegal immigrant. Let me repeat that, one

101
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: out of four general fund medical dollars in our state

102
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: budget is handed to an illegal immigrant. Not a poor kid,

103
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: not a poor family, not someone who's disabled, but to

104
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: an illegal immigrant, free taxpayer funded healthcare. In my Assembly district,

105
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: a family of four going to covered California has to

106
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: spend sixteen thousand dollars of their own money to get

107
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: the Bronze Plan health coverage. But an illegal immigrant is

108
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: getting it done for free, and one out of four

109
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: of our general fund medical dollars is being handed to

110
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: it an illegal immigrant. Now it's not just the cost

111
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: to taxpayers that is crushing. But recognize if any of

112
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: you've been waiting in line to get an appointment in

113
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: any doctor's office in the state of California, and I

114
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: know the lines are long, recognize that an illegal immigrant,

115
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: not just one, many are in front of you in

116
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: line because of what Gavin Newsom has decided to do. Again,

117
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: let me just tell you, I'm not a mean guy.

118
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't want someone to go without health insurance. But

119
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it is not California

120
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: taxpayers burden obligation duty to pay for free health care

121
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: for everyone else in the world who comes here illegally

122
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: looking for handouts. That's not our obligation, it's not our duty,

123
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: it's not our responsibility, particularly when we are charging our

124
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: own citizens sixteen thousand dollars a year for crappy coverage. No,

125
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: not doing it, not acceptable, No bueno. And then in

126
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: the next hearing, I asked about a program that was

127
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: funding COVID nineteen workplace education. Let me repeat that. In

128
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: the budget, I found a program that said we give

129
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: education to California employees in the workplace to look out

130
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: for the dangers of COVID nineteen. You realize it's twenty

131
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: twenty five, right, COVID is so I don't know twenty twenty.

132
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,239
Speaker 1: This is like saying we have a wagon wheel program

133
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: in California. We're regulating the production of wagon wheels. We've

134
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: got bureaucrats that go and inspect wagon wheels. We haven't

135
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: made a wagon wheel in one hundred and fifty years,

136
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: So why do we have that program? Oh, it's still around,

137
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: But we still have a COVID nineteen program educating employees

138
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: on the dangers of COVID nineteen. Wash your hands and

139
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: keep social distance and put up those plastic barriers or whatever.

140
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: The lord, they're out there educating employees on But then

141
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: I found out it was really not about COVID. That

142
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: was the name of the program coming up. What the

143
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen workplace education program was really about, let me

144
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: just say it involves money laundering and politicians. And this

145
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: revelation is what got me kicked off the Budget Committee

146
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: after my second hearing. It's all coming up as Carl

147
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: Demo sits in today for John c Belt.

148
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

149
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: six forty.

150
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: Coming up at two o'clock. California politicians want to ban

151
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: gas appliances. They're going to force their way into your

152
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: home and remove your gas stove, your gas furnace, your

153
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: gas water heater. Obviously they don't want you to be

154
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: driving a gas powered car either. What we're doing to

155
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: fight back. That's at two o'clock, and then three o'clock

156
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about this absurd judges order suspending

157
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's executive order that requires that we only allow

158
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: citizens to vote in American elections. These people are insane.

159
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: These judges have to be removed from the bench. They're

160
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: revealing just how derelict and duty they are, how extreme

161
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:06,479
Speaker 1: they are. When you suspend an order that requires citizenship

162
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: verification to vote, you know that you've got something really wrong.

163
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: If you want, though, to make a difference on voter

164
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: ID in California, we have a bill that would require

165
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: citizenship verification in California and voter ID. We need to

166
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: get a million signatures to put this on the ballot

167
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six and have a public vote. Go

168
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: to voter idpetition dot org and sign up voter idpetition

169
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: dot org voter idpetition dot org. At three o'clock, we're

170
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:41,239
Speaker 1: going to talk about that judge's derelict decision on citizenship

171
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: verification on voting and what we're doing to fight back.

172
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 1: But go to that website voter idpetition dot org and

173
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: share it with your friends and sign up. Okay, we're

174
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: talking about dose California. This is the effort I launched

175
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: when I got sworn in a little over one hundred

176
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: days ago to the California yet State Legislature. I'm a

177
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: budget watchdog, a government reformer. I said, Okay, I've been dozing,

178
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: dozing government for thirty years. I'm gonna doze California. I

179
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: love what Elon Musk and Donald Trump's doing. Let's look

180
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: at where the waste, fraud, abuse and corruption is in

181
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: the state budget. My oh my, All you have to

182
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: do is literally throw a dart and you're going to

183
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: hit something good. So I was put on the budget

184
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: committee started my doze efforts. My first hearing, I exposed

185
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: the medical fraud of illegal immigrants getting all this free

186
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: health care. It all comes back to you, the taxpayer.

187
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: You're footing the bill for all this we werelied to.

188
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: Now medical is insolvent. Gavin Newsom is now having to

189
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: take out emergency loans because it's run out of money.

190
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: They can't pay doctors, nurses, hospitals, other healthcare providers. For

191
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: the poor people that rely on medical all of their

192
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: health coverage is now put at risk because we have

193
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: over extended our financial cap ability to cover all the

194
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants in the state of California and give them

195
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: free health care, even though working class Californians have to

196
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: pay sixteen thousand dollars for a family of four on

197
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: the covered California Exchange for a bronze plan. Do you

198
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: understand just how insane this is? This is criminal, but hey,

199
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: it's another day at the office in Sacramento for these

200
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: politicians giving away your money. Well, my next hearing. Okay,

201
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: so I was told after the first hearing, you better

202
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: knock that off or we're gonna throw you off the committee.

203
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: And of course my response, see my hand, pick a finger,

204
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna back down. I'm having too much fun

205
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: here baby shining a light, watching the cockroaches in the

206
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: greasy kitchen run from the spotlight. I love it. People

207
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: deserve to know what's going on with this budget, the corruption,

208
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: the wasteful spending. So second hearing, I found this COVID

209
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: nineteen program. It's called the Workplace Education Program for COVID nineteen.

210
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm wondering, what the hell are we doing

211
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: with a workplace education program on something that's again not

212
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: even happening anymore. It's basically your common cold. But then

213
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: I dug deeper because I said, well, how many staff

214
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 1: are in this program? Like, oh, well, there's not a

215
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: lot of staff. We just give out grants and contracts.

216
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, who gets the money. Seventy three community

217
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: based organizations get the money. I'm like, okay, give me

218
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: a list of the organizations. Give me a list of

219
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: everyone who gets the money got the list. Then we

220
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: pulled the irs nine to ninety filings for all of them.

221
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: We went to their websites. We kind of investigated each

222
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: of the organizations, and before very long, we realized the

223
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: money wasn't going to healthcare groups. They're not going to

224
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: you know, workplace safety groups. No, No, They're going to

225
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: political groups. Political groups that do ballot harvesting, political groups

226
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: that lobby on tax increases and other left wing policy proposals,

227
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: Political groups that recruit and so port left wing candidates.

228
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: This is the money laundering scam, one of many, by

229
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: the way, this is just one program of many programs

230
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: that politicians use your taxpayer dollars to fund their political

231
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: groups on their side. And so I showed up to

232
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: the hearing exposed it. The Democrat members were flipping out.

233
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: At five o'clock that day, I was taken off the

234
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: Budget committee. Apparently I made him feel too uncomfortable by

235
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: shining a spotlight on what they were doing with your money.

236
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: Oh it hasn't stopped me. I'm still doj in California.

237
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: We have a whole list of waste, fraud and abuse

238
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: to share with you. Now, what are the other things

239
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: that they did is they threw me off the committee

240
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: and they said you'd better stop or we're gonna kill

241
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: all of your bills. We're gonna we're not gonna let

242
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: We're not gonna pass any of your bills. And again

243
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: I turned to them, I'm like, do you think that

244
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: that threat actually works with me? I don't. I don't

245
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: expect you to pass my bills. My bills are about reform,

246
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: and if you are passing my bills, there must be

247
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: something really wrong with my bill. It must be inconsequential

248
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: at the best, or it's actually bad at the worst.

249
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: You're not threatening me by saying that you're gonna kill

250
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: all my bills. I expected that as as much as

251
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: I expect the sun to come up in the morning.

252
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: If people are untethered from reality, you're not interested in reform.

253
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm introducing these bills to show that you're willing to

254
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: vote down a popular idea because you're that extreme. So

255
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: coming up, let me tell you what other things we're

256
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: finding at DOGE California. And I'm gonna give you a

257
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: list of ten common sense bills that Democrats have killed

258
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: in my first hundred days in office. All that coming

259
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: up as Carl Demyo me fills in for John Cobelt.

260
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM

261
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 3: six forty.

262
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: A very highlight list of waste, fraud and abuse that

263
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: we found through our DOGE California project, and we're continuing

264
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: to find more and more and more. I mean, I'm

265
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: just giving you some samplings, all right. We've got over

266
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty thousand, three hundred and sixty thousand

267
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: state government employees and retirees who earned more than one

268
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars in the state budget, three hundred and

269
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: sixty thousand, over one hundred thousand. We have a dentist

270
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 1: who just retired. He's going to get three hundred thousand

271
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: dollars in pension per year, indexed for inflation free healthcare.

272
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: On top of that, and he just got paid out

273
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: one point four million dollars because he led his vacation

274
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: build up, because there's no cap on his vacation. Oh,

275
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: you don't get me started on all the state holidays

276
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: that we have the most generous state holiday package you

277
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: can imagine. Last week we voted to give on top

278
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: of all this personal leave and vacation leave fourteen weeks.

279
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: I didn't vote for this. Fourteen weeks of paid, paid

280
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: family time off. Fourteen weeks paid family time off for

281
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: state workers. The mandate also will be applied to school districts.

282
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: You know who get three months off during the summer

283
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: because schools shut down. Nope, they're still going to get

284
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: fourteen weeks paid. Oh, that's an unfunded mandate. They have

285
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: to fund that, and they get no money from the

286
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: state budget. It's always nice when you give away goodies

287
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: and force someone else to pay for it, which is

288
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: what they usually do. The private sector high speed rail

289
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: project originally built as eight billion dollars. It would go

290
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: from La all the way up to San Francisco. That

291
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: was two thousand and eight. They lied. This is a

292
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: big scam. It's a boondoggle. It's only being used to

293
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: allow political contributors to drift. They get kicked by backs contracts,

294
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: then they give donations to the politicians that keep the

295
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: high speed rail boondoggle, phony belonging project going. Anyway, it's

296
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: now one hundred and thirty eight billion dollars in counting. Oh,

297
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: and no end in sight. Now. The governor the other

298
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: day said, oh, we already are laying rail in the

299
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: high speed rail. Our doge California did an investigation on

300
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: that and we found out that he's a liar. Oh sure,

301
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: they've got a small segment of rail that's less than

302
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: a quarter mile. But guess what, it's not high speed rail.

303
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: It is a service track to bring equipment and materials

304
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: into a site. So they built. You can't make this

305
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: crap up. He's like, oh, high speed rail, it's already underway.

306
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: We're laying the first track. You are a liar. The

307
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: track is not high speed rail. It's a service trail

308
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: rail to bring stuff into the construction site and just

309
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: let it sit there as more people get to bill

310
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: their time and consulting contracts to build tax payers, this

311
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: is insane. The state budget is absolutely filled with all

312
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: sorts of wasteful spending. But they're trying to raise your taxes.

313
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: They're out there saying they don't have enough money for this,

314
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: that or the other thing. They're giving away the store

315
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: to illegal immigrants. They're raising taxes, but they're cutting the

316
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: essential things. And so it's my obligation to shine a

317
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: light on this and to bring it to you. That's

318
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: why I'm sitting in for John today. I said, hey,

319
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: we'll just go through all the DOGE California findings. You know,

320
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: three hours a day. We'll definitely be able to absolutely

321
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: use three hours a day for the entire week. So

322
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: I got threatened by the Democrats shut up or we're

323
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 1: taking you off the committee. I didn't shut up. Then

324
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: they said, shut up and stop doing press conferences about

325
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: your findings, or we'll kill your bills. And of course

326
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: I said, bring it on. You're not going to vote

327
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: for my bills anyway. This is not a real threat.

328
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: And so here are the bills that they have killed

329
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 1: thus far. And my view is this, always give someone

330
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: who's doing something wrong, Always give them an opportunity to

331
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: do the right thing. That's why I introduce these bills.

332
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: And you can check out my bill package at demayoassembly

333
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: dot org, Demyoassembly dot org, d e m AIO Assembly

334
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: dot org. We cover a lot of it on my

335
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: other website, Reform California dot org as well. Here are

336
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: the ten bills that they've killed. Number one, I proposed

337
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: that we repeal the sanctuary state law, allow law enforcement

338
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: to actually work with the federal government, and end funding

339
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: for illegal immigrant criminals, no funds to help them fight deportation.

340
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: We shouldn't be hiring them free lawyers. We don't hire

341
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: you a free lawyer if you're audited by the IRS,

342
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: or if the state of California comes in and says, oh,

343
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: you're a small business, we're going to what we're going

344
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: to do right here is we're going to investigate you

345
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: for regulatory code compliance violations. They don't say, oh, by

346
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: the way, here's a free lawyer to defend you. No,

347
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: you got to get your own lawyer. You're hit with

348
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: a frivolous lawsuit, the PAGA lawsuits. Again, you're told to

349
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: hire your own lawyer. I also in this bill AB

350
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: eighteen Assembly Bill eighteen said we would not give any

351
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: welfare to illegal immigrants. We're not going to give them

352
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: any medical, free health care at taxpayer's expense. Democrats killed

353
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: the bill. Second, I introduced an amendment to the budget

354
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: to cancel the high speed rail project. Democrats unanimously voted

355
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: down the amendment to kill the high speed rail project. Again,

356
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: the project that will never get built, that is only

357
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: designed to be a conduit for money laundering. Call it

358
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: what it is, just like that COVID nineteen program I

359
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: just told you about, that was funding seventy three political

360
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: groups of the Democrat Party with your taxpayer money to

361
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: do ballot harvesting and candidate recruitment and lobbying on left

362
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: wing policies. That's money laundering. High speed rail is money laundering.

363
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: Billions of dollars going to campaign supporters who then write

364
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: checks the labor unions, and the contractors write checks to

365
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: the politicians campaign funds. We covered this yesterday in the

366
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: form of these housing first Towers projects. The LA project

367
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: I talked about that was six hundred thousand dollars per

368
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: unit for quote, affordable housing for homeless people, or the

369
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: million dollars per unit projects that we're seeing up and

370
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: down the state. It built with labor unions, so the

371
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: union dues are taken out and given to the politicians

372
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: and the forms of campaign contributions. But more importantly, the

373
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: rich developers who get these government subsidies to build these

374
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: public housing welfare projects, they're giving massive campaign contributions to

375
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: the politicians. That's why they're doing these programs. That's why

376
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: they have high speed rail, that's why they have that

377
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen program. That's why they have the Homeless Forever program.

378
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: It's about them laundering money, your taxpayer money into their

379
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: campaign accounts. I gave him an opportunity to kill high

380
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: speed rail. They voted it down unanimously. Coming up the

381
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: other seven bills that they killed, I mean, one of

382
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: which had to deal with stopping the placement of sexually

383
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: violent predators in residential communities next to schools and kids.

384
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: Democrats in California killed that bill this past week. Assembly

385
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: Bill twenty two coming up, the ten common sense ideas

386
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: Democrats couldn't bring themselves to even vote for that are

387
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: supported by seventy eighty percent of Californians.

388
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.

389
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: Coming up at three o'clock, we're going to talk about

390
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: the judges striking down a bunch of Trump executive order

391
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: what we can do about. At two o'clock, we're talking

392
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: about California politicians wanting to ban your gas stove in

393
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: your kitchen, along with a whole bunch of other gas appliances,

394
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: including gas cars. What we're doing to stop that. But

395
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm going down some of the findings we have uncovered

396
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: and exposed as part of my Doge California efforts. This

397
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: is Carl to Mayo. I am Chairman of Reform California.

398
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm a California state representative representing District seventy five in

399
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: the State Assembly, and I'm sitting in today for John

400
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: Clavelt while he's out on vacation. So Democrats, when I

401
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: started my Doge California started basically punishing me. They took

402
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: me off the Budget Committee after just two hearings. Then

403
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: they said if I kept doing press conferences exposing what

404
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: was going on, that they would just simply kill all

405
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: my bills. And I said, bring it on, baby, because again,

406
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: my job is to make sure the public knows what's

407
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: going on because they haven't had a media to hold

408
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: these politicians accountable in our state for decades. I think

409
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: the media is in on the scam as long as

410
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 1: they get taxpayer funding. And they do get taxpayer funding.

411
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: That's not just for them philosophical. They're not just left

412
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: wing reporters. They also are in on the grift. So

413
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: here are the ten bills that I offered that Democrats

414
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: have already killed in the first hundred days. The first

415
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: one is repealing sanctuary state and ending welfare for legal immigrants.

416
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: Assembly Bill eighteen killed by Democrats. Second is an amendment

417
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: to the Budget Act that I offered canceling high speed

418
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: rail killed by Democrats unanimously. Number three California Voter ID

419
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: a citizen's initiative, a statutory initiative at this point. Assembly

420
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: Bill twenty five to require voter ID to return ballots

421
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: and citizenship verification in order to REDGI to vote in California.

422
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: Killed by Democrats. So now we're taking that to the

423
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: ballot using a citizen initiative. You can sign to get

424
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: that on the ballot at the website voter idpetition dot org.

425
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: That's voteridpetition dot org. But Democrats killed Assembly Bill twenty

426
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: five unanimously. Fourth bill they killed Assembly Bill twenty two

427
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: Stop the Reckless Release Act. It would have stopped the

428
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: release of sexually violent predators into residential communities near children.

429
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: Democrats killed the bill. They said that these individuals have

430
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: served their time and they deserve to be released anywhere

431
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: they choose. I disagree. Most common sense Californians vehemently disagree.

432
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: The mom who has to be worried about her children

433
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: when an SVP is placed down the street. I'm sure disagrees,

434
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: but not California Democrat politicians who put the rights of

435
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: sexually violent predators first over our communities. They killed Assembly

436
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: Bill twenty two unanimously. Number five, we said the schools

437
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: are failing, so let's give parents education savings accounts. That's

438
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: Assembly Bill nineteen. This week they killed that bill. Can

439
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: have the teachers' union have any sort of accountability or competition?

440
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: Can't have parents have a choice because all those rich

441
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: liberal billionaire kids they get to go to private schools.

442
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: But no, no, not poor kids. Number six, how about

443
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: we allow police to remove squatters when they break into

444
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: people's homes and refuse to leave. That's Assembly Bill eight

445
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: ninety sevenimous defeated by Democrats that I authored. Number seven,

446
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: the Cap and Cut Insurance Reform Act, Assembly Bill five

447
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: six seven unanimously killed by Democrats party line vote. It

448
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: would have shielded homeowners from having to pay double digit,

449
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: triple digit insurance rate increases. It would have suspended the

450
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: state's insurance premium tax because they're profiting when your insurance

451
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: premium increases. When it goes up by twenty percent, their

452
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: tax revenue goes up by twenty percent. Do you understand

453
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: why these politicians aren't going to solve this problem? Why

454
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: they benefit from the rate increases, they get more money.

455
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: Why would they change anything about that deal? They won't.

456
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: Somebody Bill five to sixty seven, Somebody Bill five six

457
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: seven killed by Democrats. Number eight Balanced Budget Accountability Act.

458
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: This would implement a permanent doze California process. It's AC threeeen,

459
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: not even given a hearing by Democrats. They don't even

460
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: want to vote that one down. They just didn't even

461
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: schedule it for a voter or a hearing. They killed

462
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: that just simply by burying the bill Number nine and

463
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: the Politician Perks Act Assembly built twenty six, also not

464
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: given a hearing because politicians don't want to have to

465
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: vote against banning gifts. They don't want to vote against

466
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: banning's insider trading that they've been engaging in, banning them

467
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: from becoming lobbyists after they leave office, banning their pensions. No, no, no,

468
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: no no. They killed Assembly Bill twenty six that I authored,

469
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: the end the Politician's Perks Act. They killed it by

470
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: just simply not bringing it up for a vote and

471
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: coming in at number ten. Assembly Bill one two three eight.

472
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: I authored this to ban the bans on natural gas

473
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: appliances and gas powered cars. My view is that unelected

474
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: bureaucrats at the California Air Resources Board should not be

475
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: the ones to decide what car you drive, what stove

476
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: you have in your kitchen, what water heater you get

477
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: to use. That we shouldn't be banning these appliances. We

478
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: should let consumers decide. And if we are going to

479
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: ban something, then the legislature better be the one voting

480
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: on it and being held accountable at the ballot box.

481
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: Democrats killed Assembly built one two three eight. They won't

482
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: even give it a hearing. Coming up, let's talk about

483
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: those natural gas appliances. Do you know that this is

484
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: not even good for the environment to ban natural gas appliances.

485
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: It's not practical, it's not affordable, and we've got a

486
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: plan to ban the bans. Coming up, We're going to

487
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: talk about natural gas and why apparently environmentalists and Democrats

488
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: hate it. It's all coming up with Carl Demio filling
