Speaker 2: missed John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app.

9
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: That's the podcast. Today's a big day because Prop thirty

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: six is now in effect. Prop thirty six repealed Prop

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: forty seven. Almost seventy percent of the state voted for

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: it back in November.

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: And thank you.

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: And it means that thieves are now going to prison again,

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: and drug addicts are going to prison.

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: They're going to get a.

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: Shot at rehab, but if they don't go for treatment,

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: then they go to prison. And fentonyel dealers are going

19
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: to be going to prison. Potentially they can only murder

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: one person. Now when the second person dies, now they're

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: gonna they can they can go and be locked up.

22
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: So a lot of progress was made, no thanks to

23
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: the legislature and Governor Newsom who spent the entire year

24
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: trying to block it. We're going to talk now with

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: the Bill of Saley. He's a Republican assemblyman out in

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: the Inland Empire. What town said, does your district?

27
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: I've got Corona, Narco, Lake, Elson or Niffee and Park

28
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: of Riverside, all right.

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: And Bill's been on the show many times because he

30
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: is one of a dwindling number of sane legislators left.

31
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: And what I like about you is you come. You

32
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: always tell the.

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: Truth right to their face, even if they cut your

34
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: microphone off, I keep talking. You just keep talking right,

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: and you tell them off. How many years you've been

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: in the Assembly too?

37
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Just too.

38
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: Talk to his general overview about how hard they blocked

39
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: these kinds of reforms the last few years, how they

40
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: try to poison pill Prop thirty six. I mean, what

41
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: is the mentality that wants to keep criminals out free

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: so they could steal from us, so they could live

43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: in public addicted to drugs, so they can self fent

44
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 2: andyl to unsuspecting young people. What's the mentality among the

45
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: legislators to allow freedom for all these terrible criminals.

46
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: You know, surprisingly, it's difficult to articulate exactly, but they're

47
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: the worst of two combinations. They're arrogant and incompetent. It

48
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: really is those two things together, and they're so detached

49
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: from reality and their policies. They really don't believe their

50
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: policies are causing all these problems. They think these are

51
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: national trends. I mean, you hear new some say of

52
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: this crap all the time. Oh, California is right in

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: line with the Red States. It's just not true. Well,

54
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: he just makes stuff up with lives, like health. He

55
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: lies like health. But the Democrats, they especially the progressives,

56
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: have really gone all in on this criminal justice reform,

57
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: soft on crime crap. Oh yeah, So they cannot admit

58
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: they're wrong and so any and there. That's what that

59
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: really scares him. If you start reversing one policy and

60
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: might unravel the whole thing. That's what really I hope

61
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: so yeah the beginning, I hope so too. So they

62
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: really think they can control everything, and that's how they

63
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: approach everything. They have a supermajority, they can pass any

64
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: law they want, and they really believe they can control things.

65
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: But Prop thirty six they lost control because it was

66
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: so overwhelmingly supported by the public. Newsom even saw those

67
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: polls and he finally backed off at the end. Is

68
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: he a true believer in that. No, he's a survival.

69
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: He's a political survivals. I mean, so he has he's

70
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: the leader of their party, so he has to toe

71
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: the line and keep them happy. But at some point

72
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: he does deal with reality. I mean he's not he's

73
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: a lot of things, but he's not an idiot.

74
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: I want to contest that, but I understand what you're

75
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: saying here, because there are true believers and it's as

76
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: if they're in like some kind of religious cult, and

77
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: then Newsom seems to either you know, to jump on

78
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: the bandwagon whichever way it's going.

79
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's an oppermonists, he's a opportunist.

80
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: We had met to Cappellato on yes earlier a show

81
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: and Matt's daughter Alexandria died fentanyl overdose.

82
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: She thought it was a purpose that she.

83
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: Was taking and he tried, he tried for several years, yep,

84
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: to get Alexander's law passed, where if a fentanyl dealer

85
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: murders someone, that's apparently not a crime. You know, it's

86
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: not a crime. If you sold the fentomyl that killed

87
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: your customers.

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: Well they say we didn't know what had sentel in it, right,

89
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: So you have to prove the intent.

90
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so now the fentanyl dealers are going to

91
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: get a warning, and if there's a second victim, they

92
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: will potentially go to prison.

93
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: It's a fantastic law. It's modeled after the laws we

94
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: have for guy drunk driving, because if you just the

95
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: first time you drive drunk and you kill someone, it's

96
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: very hard to charge him with murder. But anyone who's

97
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: ever been charged and convicted of drunk driving, they get

98
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: what's called a Watson advicement saying, hey, we're telling you

99
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: there's an inherent risk in driving drunk. So if you

100
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: do it again you kill someone, you now know you

101
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: will be charged with murder. So it's the same thing.

102
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: Now anyone who deals drug is going to get this admonishment.

103
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: So if they ever deal drugs again and it kills someone,

104
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: they will be charged with murder.

105
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: What was the resistance to trying to save wives of

106
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: young people who inadvertently were taking the fentanyl? Why would

107
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: you want to protect those dealers.

108
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: So guys like Scott Wiener said, well, it's not fair

109
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: if someone gave some gave someone a drug and they

110
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: didn't know it had it. But we kept saying there's

111
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: one free chance. You could do it once and if

112
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: you get caught and convicted, now you're unnoticed. But there

113
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: just cannot They're like, well, someone could potentially go to

114
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: prison and they didn't mean to kill.

115
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 2: Somebody, And there's not the same kind of sympathy for

116
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 2: the dead victims.

117
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: No, they don't care about the victims. They don't care

118
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: about their criminals are the victims. To them, the.

119
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: Criminals are the victims. I always say, it seems they're

120
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: they're the hierarchy. They seem to care about three constituencies,

121
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: illegal aliens, criminals, and homeless people.

122
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: Yes, and that that's it and themselves And all right.

123
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,559
Speaker 2: One of the stories we saw today, you have filed

124
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: an ethics complaint. There's apparently a legislator in Sacramento right

125
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: now who's been charged with bribery.

126
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: They have not been charged. What happened is the city

127
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: of Baldwin Park there's rampant corruption where they're selling these

128
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: marijuana dispensary licenses, so if you want one, you have

129
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: to pay the right council members to get it. So

130
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: as part of that investigation, the FBI has convicted some

131
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: of these council members in the city attorney, and in

132
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: that person's plea agreement where they're now cooperating with the government,

133
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: it details this scheme, this bribery scheme, and in that

134
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: plea agreement it says there's a legislator, the person twenty

135
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: who was involved in this solicited a bribe for two

136
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars to help get a dispensary permit. Apparently

137
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: the people backed out at the last minute, but they

138
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: also got thirty thousand dollars in cash. So it's in

139
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: the filing by the US Attorney's office details legislator their

140
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: criminal involvement. But they haven't been named yet. And my

141
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: point is we don't need to wait for them to

142
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: name them that we have enough information here to try

143
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: to figure out who it is.

144
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: But he hasn't been charged yet, he or she He

145
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: or she hasn't been charged.

146
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: Right, there hasn't been charged yet. Are they going to

147
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: get charged? Oh, that's up to the US Attorney's office.

148
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: But you generally these cases they work their way up.

149
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: You start with the lower right, the small fish, and

150
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: you work way up.

151
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: To the big So they're they're they're sitting in office

152
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: now in Sacramento. Yes, they're sitting who it is, Yes,

153
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: you do, No, don't. I don't want to see you

154
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: can't say. Well, I mean it's it's in the I'll

155
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: tell you on the break. Okay, you tell me. I'm

156
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: not going to I don't want to get the La

157
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: Times reports.

158
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: Enough defamation lawsuits going aroung. I'll give you the La

159
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: Times article they reported the name. Oh yeah, they said

160
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: there's only one legislator who fit the description of this person.

161
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: So you suspect that that is going on, uh, every day,

162
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: all day long, involving maybe you know, dozens hundreds of legislators.

163
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: I mean, is this normal business and this person just

164
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: got caught.

165
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Well, I've said I'm not surprised by the allegations. I'm

166
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: surprised they've been so little investigations and convictions. It's not

167
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: that blatant usually, John. I mean, there's other things. It's, hey,

168
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: you do what we want, and we'll give you these

169
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: big campaign contributions, or we'll hire a family member. You know,

170
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: there's other ways you can get people financially compensated. You

171
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: know what really bothers me in Sacramento are these trips.

172
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know about them. But the junkets.

173
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 2: Yes, there was a story in the Times about the

174
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: junkets to Hawaii.

175
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: Hawaii, they go to Ireland, they travel the world. Anytime

176
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: we're in break, there's these junket trips, fully paid. We're

177
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: talking luxury trips. They stayed at the Four Seasons in Hawaii. Yeah,

178
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of dollars. And they don't have to

179
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: they just have to report it, but they accept it.

180
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is and they reward members who play

181
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: the game. I've never been invited by the way I

182
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: would go, but I don't get invited on these trips,

183
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: so that's fine with me. But that's correupt.

184
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: What do they really do is it hookers and booze

185
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: and I don't know, great food, John.

186
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: I think you have to really, most of these people

187
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: are really they're they're nobody's they're nobody's there. They were staffers,

188
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: they were interns, they weren't popular in high school, and

189
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, they're elected, they're called honorable,

190
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: they get invited to these trips. It's just ego stroking,

191
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: and it just keeps them in line for when the

192
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: swamp the lobbyists need them to do something.

193
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the lobbyists control, they write the bills, they

194
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: pay off all the legislators to vote a certain way.

195
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 2: So there's no, it's not it's not a real democracy.

196
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: It's not hard to raise money up there.

197
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: They hold these lunches or receptions, and you hold one

198
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: every couple of months and the lobby you show up

199
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: and you get about fifty sixty thousand dollars in checks

200
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: and then you, you know, you go back to your

201
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: office and that's how it's done. They have a list

202
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: of suggested votes waiting for you. I know those are

203
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: separate meetings, so that's what they do this or separate

204
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: so they could be in the same day, but they're separate,

205
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: right right, So you can't say, oh, this bride was

206
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: in exchange for this is not a direct quid pro quo.

207
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: It's not technically illegal. All right, we come back.

208
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: I know you've got a bunch of bills that you've introduced,

209
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: and I'm sure they're all going to get through. Let's

210
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: talk about him, because I think you've got a sharp

211
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: eye for what needs to be done. Bill Sale's assemblyman

212
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: from the Inland Empire. He's going to be with us

213
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: for a while.

214
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: Here you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI

215
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 3: AM six forty.

216
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: We got Bill a Sale in the studio. He's the

217
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: Inland Empire Republican Assemblyman. We've talked about him frequently. Has

218
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 2: he gets see it makes a lot of news because

219
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: he tells everybody what he thinks up in Sacramento, which

220
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: is really a disgusting cesspool. Just to follow up on

221
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: the conversation we had, we don't want to leave you hanging.

222
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: The La Times does have a story in the past week.

223
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: An unsealed plea agreement suggests that State Senator Susan Ruby

224
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 2: was part of a sprawling cannabis bribery scheme when she

225
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 2: served on the Baldwin Park City Council in twenty eighteen.

226
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: Rubio denies wrongdoing.

227
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: So that's the mystery State Senator we were referring to

228
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 2: a few minutes ago. I want to I want to

229
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: ask you. There's a there's a there's a tax increase coming.

230
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: Newsom has blown billions of dollars like the well, part

231
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: of it was the Employment Development Department. The Unemployment Office

232
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: is what it is, and they blew I don't know,

233
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: fifty billion dollars during COVID and eighty five percent of

234
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: that money went to overseas fraudsters. And now there's there's

235
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: a tax resulting from all the problems in that agency.

236
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 2: Can you talk about it because people are going to

237
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: get hit with a tax in their paychecks come the

238
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: first week of January.

239
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: Yes. So we're twenty billion dollars in debt in the

240
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: fund that funds the unemployment benefits and we're in debt

241
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: to the federal government. And the way the federal government

242
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: recoups its money is every year they will increase the

243
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: payroll tax on employers. For every employee, it will go

244
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: up exponentially over the years until the money's repaid. And

245
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: what the business community has been demanding is that Gavin

246
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: Newsom take money out of the budget to pay down

247
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: this debt so it's not incurred by the employers. But

248
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: he refuses to do it. Instead, he spent five billion

249
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: dollars on illegal immigrant healthcare or the stupid bullet train.

250
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they spend money like crazy, but never to

251
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: help the average voter or business owner.

252
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 2: Now is it going to come out of the employers

253
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: or the employees? Because I saw a story that people

254
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: are going to have to pay an extra eight dollars

255
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: a month.

256
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: So that's separate. That's the disability fund. Oh, that's the

257
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: disability touch. What's that scam? The employer pays the edd one,

258
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: the disability one. They say, now they're going to add

259
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: more benefits so people can have more time off or something.

260
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: But it's going to cost you about one hundred dollars extra.

261
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: They snuck this tax in. It's not even a tax.

262
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: They empower these bureaucrats to just assess these these assessment

263
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: it's like an assessment, and this is what they do.

264
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: They have the utility companies raise our prices. They have

265
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, all the CARB, they have all the they

266
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: have all these bureaucrats empowered, so the politicians don't have

267
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: to be the ones, you know on the hook.

268
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: We have talked a lot about CARB and there's four

269
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: laws well, including CARBS mandate. It's gonna raise gas prices

270
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 2: up to ninety cents next year. I don't think people

271
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 2: know this is coming. The CARB has a low carbon

272
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: fuel standard that's gonna be mandated. That's gonna add maybe

273
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: sixty five cents a gallon. It was voted in by

274
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: the board and eleven out of the twelve yes's where

275
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom appointees, so this is his baby. And then

276
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: Newsom saying that the oil refineries have to have a

277
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: reserve of gasoline, and then two oil refineries are closing

278
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: up and the Carson area. And then you have the

279
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: annual gas tax increase the first of July. It's going

280
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: to add up potentially to ninety cents. If that happens,

281
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: surely then the public is going to start rebelling against

282
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: this nonsense.

283
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: Well, I would hope. I mean, the public had a

284
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: chance to repeal the gas tax and they didn't do it.

285
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it was kind of confusing at

286
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: the time. They made it confused. They made it confusing,

287
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: But I think the real agenda is they want the

288
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: gas prices to go up because they think that's the

289
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: only way you can get people out of gas cars.

290
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: They want it to be so expensive to drive a

291
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: gas car that you just give it up.

292
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: Are you shocked because this is not going on in

293
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: most of the other states. No, I mean be.

294
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: Shocked that California is so agreeable to all this. What

295
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: bothers me more because these crazy politicians are getting detached

296
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: from reality. It's the industry. I have the car makers

297
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: in my office and I said, why are you going

298
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: along with this? Because they put out these statements all

299
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: we're working with California. Go you know this isn't doable.

300
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: They say, yeah, we know that, but we can't say why.

301
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: They don't want to offend the Democrats and the governor,

302
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: so they pretend they go along with this dance.

303
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: They're destroying the auto industry here in California, the oil

304
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 2: industry too.

305
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: What more damage can they do? They know it's not

306
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: going to be implemented by twenty thirty. This this band,

307
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: they just know it's not going to happen. They all

308
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: know it's fake, but it sounds good, so they go,

309
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: what do you think is going to happen? Like when

310
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: when do they fight? Well, they'll just say, oh, we're

311
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: standing it to twenty thirty five. They'll just keep kicking

312
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: it down the road. They do it all the time.

313
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: The bullet train was supposed to be done ten years ago.

314
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: So Lusham knows this is this thing. No, he just

315
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: wants the headline that he's the one that banned gas cars.

316
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: And where does he think this is playing if he's

317
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: running for president? I don't know what state electoral votes

318
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: is he's getting. Is he going to get for banning

319
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: gas powered cars? I really hope he runs for president. Oh,

320
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: I don't think he's electable. No, it would give us

321
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: so much material for two years and he's not electable.

322
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: It's going to be funny, it would be comical. I mean,

323
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: all the other Democrats are going to carve him up

324
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 2: into pieces.

325
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: Okay, he's a joke.

326
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: He's the worst poster boy for democratic policies and politics.

327
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: And I can't believe the other candidates are going to

328
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: want him representing them.

329
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: I say, he's like a Batman villain. And Sacramento is

330
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: Gotham City. Yeah, take a look at it. How long

331
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: are you going to be able to stick in this business?

332
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I remember when I was running and

333
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: I saw you and Ken and you guys looked at

334
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: me and said, why do you want to do this?

335
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: You're going to lose your mind because you're too smart

336
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: and rational. Why are you doing this? I don't know.

337
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: Do I really look at it as a public service?

338
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: People like, do you love it? I go, well, I

339
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: mean does our military love being deployed? I really look

340
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: at it as if I'm not up there and doing it,

341
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: who's going to do it? That really worries me because

342
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: a lot of the other Republicans have become very agreeable. Agreeables. Yeah,

343
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: it's a polite word. All right.

344
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: I want to get to your agenda, so we'll do

345
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: one more segment. Okay, yeah, all right. Coming up, we

346
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: have BILLT. Sale and he is the assemblyman from I

347
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: called the Estate senator before. Sorry, I gave you a promotion,

348
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 2: but I do think you ought to be governor. Actually,

349
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 2: he's the assemblement from an Inland Empire, and we're going

350
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: to talk about his agenda that he is going to

351
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: propose to the good legislators up in Sacramento.

352
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI A.

353
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: Six forty, and we have Bill A. Sale in with us.

354
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: He's in studio.

355
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 2: He's the Republican Assemblyman from the Inland Empire, and we

356
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: were talking about just everything that's going on in Sacramento

357
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 2: and the bizarre culture and the just the stupidity and stubbornness,

358
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: the arrogance of the legislators. You paint quite a picture.

359
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: It's really horrifying. Now you have some legislation that you're proposing.

360
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: I want to talk about a few of these things,

361
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: and one is really obvious. It's repealing rolling back the

362
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 2: same wharrey state laws, which I think Trump is going

363
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: to bull doze over by himself anyway, him and Tom Holman.

364
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 2: But talk about what you would like to do if

365
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: you could find other sane people in Sacramento to talk

366
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 2: about this.

367
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: Well, I have the bill drafted, I haven't introduced it yet,

368
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: but essentially what I want to do is, can we

369
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: agree that if you've been convicted of a felony, you

370
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: should be deported? I mean that seems like can we

371
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: just get to that baseline? So my bill would repeal

372
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: sanctuary state as applies to convicted felons. So right now,

373
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: even if the sheriff wanted to hand them over directly

374
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: to Ice, the law doesn't allow them to, which is

375
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: as crazy to me.

376
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: So why protect these people? They're let's say they're Venezuelan

377
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: gang members, right, Trent Deoruagua gang members, and they have

378
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 2: been committed, they have committed and been convicted of felonies,

379
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 2: violent felonies. Why can't we deport these guys.

380
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: Because you said they're the protected constituency of the Democrat Party.

381
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: Illegal immigrants. Legal immigrants are a protective class in the

382
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: California legislature. You cannot touch them. Are the gang members

383
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: donating money to the campaign? I don't obvious. I mean,

384
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. But let me tell you this last election,

385
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: you saw Latino's turn on the Democrat Party. Yeah, so

386
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: maybe their position will change. I don't know this. It's

387
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: not working out for them, well, except not enough in California.

388
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: It's not enough. Yeah. Yeah.

389
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 2: Why is progressivism still have taken such root here while

390
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: we've seen the place go to hell over the last

391
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 2: ten years, and even in New Jersey, right, Trump came

392
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: within six points of winning New Jersey. Every county, every

393
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 2: district in New York City moved towards Trump and the Republicans.

394
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: And that's two election cycles in a row that that

395
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: has happened. Why is California so resistant to even just

396
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 2: have moderate Democrats run things?

397
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: You know, I say they're like teflon because the consequences

398
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: of their policies never stick to them. They do all

399
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: these crazy things. They burn the place down, and then

400
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: they stand on the street corner they say, look at

401
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: that building burning and you need to give me more

402
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: money so I can put it out. You're the one

403
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: that burnt the building. And so we had the speaker

404
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: lecturing us on affordability when we got sworn in on

405
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: the second Like, what are you people talking about. You're

406
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: the one who drove up the taxes and the regulations

407
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: and drove out the businesses, and they're sitting there complaining

408
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: about how unaffordable California is. Look at the fast food

409
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: what they did the fast food. I got to spend

410
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: fifteen bucks at in and out now I used to

411
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: tell one hundred and ten bucks.

412
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: And they cost a lot of fast food workers their jobs.

413
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: Yes, they're automating now so, but for some it's because

414
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: they have the media. They've got the public education at institutions.

415
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: They're a doctor eating the kids, all right, but that

416
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: was a disaster. They shut down the schools here in

417
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: LA mostly for minority kids, for a year and a half,

418
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: and then they're going to complain about the racial gaps

419
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: in education. Well, yeah, you shut down their skull. They

420
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: just point at the boogeyman, Donald Trump. Yeah, crazy, that's

421
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: the answer to everything. That's emotional reasoning. And you know,

422
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: I talked to some psychologists said, emotion overrides logic every time,

423
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: and the Democrats are very good at tapping into that.

424
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: And we're very good, John at writing a ten point

425
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: policy plan, which it's not going to get you anywhere. No,

426
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: and they just run on one thing, abortion, you know,

427
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: and so's that's how they run elections. All right, let

428
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: me ask you about another one of these things.

429
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: You've got here, armed school yes resource officers. We just

430
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: had another shooting in Wisconsin yesterday, So what's your idea.

431
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: This is a big deal. Look, I think you know,

432
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: people ask me why I ran for office. I want

433
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: to help lead the Republican Party out of a relevancy

434
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: because really they're irrelevant up there and they just sit

435
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: and they winded to complain about things. So I'm tired

436
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: of these school shootings. I think everyone should be tired

437
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: of them, and the Republicans have to offer a solution.

438
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: So my solution is I would require every school campus

439
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: to have an armed school resource officer present at all

440
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: times period. The only way you're going to stop a

441
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: crazy person with a gun is to have a good

442
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: guy or girl with a gun there to neutralize them. Yeah,

443
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: in the moment, it's it. You're not going to reason

444
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: with them. They're not going to comply with some crazy

445
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: gun law. You got to kill them right there, right

446
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: And why should the politicians and Sacramento have better security

447
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: than our kids? Why are their lives more important? Okay,

448
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: what's the objection to this? There's no this is this

449
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: drives me crazy. They have studies John that show that

450
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: police officers on campus do not make school safer.

451
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that means, Like, it's not

452
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: a provable study.

453
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: They have all these leftist studies they cite and they're like,

454
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: there's no evidence that makes it safer. And then they

455
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: point to Uvaldi, which was obviously a failure.

456
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: There which a disaster because the cops didn't do their jobs.

457
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: Had they done their jobs, you wouldn't have had that situation. Correct,

458
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 2: You should put.

459
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: That in the bill. And the cops have to do

460
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: their jobs. Yes, those cops there were cowards and so,

461
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: but most cops would do their jobs. They walk up

462
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: the opportunity I had. LA unified school district has its

463
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: own police department. You know, they're not even allowed to

464
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: be on campus right now. They told me.

465
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 2: With all the woke stuff they did on banned the

466
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: police or the LA LA unified as a police department.

467
00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 2: That's not allowed on camp.

468
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: Correct. So I asked them, what do you guys do?

469
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: They said, we sit down the street waiting for them

470
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: to call us if there is an emergency. But it's

471
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: really bad. Kids are getting stabbed and on fights and

472
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: then they have to just wait for a call to

473
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: be welcomed on camp. No.

474
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 2: Yes, so they can't be on campus to break up

475
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 2: the stabbing of the fighting.

476
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: No, because the police are dangerous to minority kids.

477
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm going insane listening to you tell

478
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 2: me all these things. All right, here's another one, another

479
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 2: thing you're presenting. Uh oh, and this one, this one

480
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: makes me crazy. It takes a month in California to

481
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: count all the votes after an election.

482
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: In Florida, they had it all done in two hours. Yes,

483
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: what what? What goes on here? It's because everyone's voting

484
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: by mail. And then the way they check your that

485
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: it's you is they compare your signature to your file.

486
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: So it takes a lot of time and a lot

487
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: of people to do that. And that's not even a

488
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: secure way, that's not even a it's like, it's not

489
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: a real science comparing signatures there they accept almost everything, so.

490
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 2: Because who's going to stare at millions of signatures.

491
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: Temporary workers, that's who they have doing this. But it's

492
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: very time consuming. So we're actually looking at a ballot

493
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: initiative to have voter ID be the law of the

494
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: land in California. It is an eighty twenty issue. We

495
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: have the national polling. We got to get some California polling.

496
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: The only people that don't like it are Democrat politicians.

497
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: The public wants voter ID. And how it would work

498
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: in the context of mail in elections. Yes, so you'd

499
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: have a secure envelope. You got to put your ballot

500
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: in and you have to write your driver's license number

501
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: on the envelope and sign it, and then that number

502
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: will be checked to make sure it matches to authenticate you.

503
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: And that could be done with machines, and that's actually

504
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: what Florida does. You got to write your driver's license

505
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: number and that's how they validate you.

506
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: There's got to be a lot of fraud in California

507
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: over ballot harvesting. I cannot accept that ballot harvesting does

508
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: not produce thousands and thousands of fraudulent vote.

509
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: It's either fraud or it's corrosive, because you know, there's

510
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: a lot of idiots out there who just don't vote,

511
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: and I know that they should vote. Your adiots voting

512
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: the better. But when you're sending people out to their

513
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: homes to harass them for their ballot, you know they

514
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: don't care. Fine, just leave me alone, take the ballot.

515
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: That's not a good system. And I think that's really

516
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: the bigger problem with ballot harvesting is they're going after

517
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: those low propensity, low informed voters and they're taking their ballots.

518
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: I got one more, okay, because I was just talking

519
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: about him last hour and I didn't even realize this

520
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 2: was going to be on your list.

521
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: It's my first bill.

522
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: Elon Musk wants to use Vandenberg Space Force Space to

523
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: launch more SpaceX rocket launches, and the California Coastal Commission

524
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 2: wants to stop him.

525
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: They voted against it. And the reason they voted against

526
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: him is they said he's helping Trump and they didn't

527
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: like his politics. So they were just overtly political about

528
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: the reason for denying his request and space rockets. That's

529
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: not political, no, but Elon is. So they don't like him,

530
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: so they don't want to approve his request. Newsom actually

531
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: said he disagreed with the Coastal Commission. He's appointee on there,

532
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: actually voted with Elon Musk. So my bill is to

533
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: call out mister Newsom. He says, he agrees that this

534
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: should have been granted. So I'm introducing a bill to

535
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: override the Coastal Commission's decision, and I welcome the Governor's support.

536
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: This is crazy. He's also Elon's also suing the Coastal Commission.

537
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 2: So you know, these these commissions and boards, they cause

538
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 2: a lot of trouble. In fact, can can can there

539
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: be a referendum to disband the CARB the California resources

540
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: for it.

541
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: They were put on by the voters, and the voters

542
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: can take him out.

543
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: So all we need is somebody to want to fund

544
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: that particular referendum. Yes, that's something, boy I, because we

545
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 2: can get rid of all those taxes and fees in

546
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 2: global warming credit nonsense that drive. We're paying two bucks

547
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 2: more than most of the other states.

548
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.

549
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 2: Did you ever look at a state by state analysis?

550
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: What's worse than the gas? But I think it's the

551
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: electricity prices. Oh, the electricity prices, Yeah, that are like

552
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: seventy percent higher than the rest of the country. Huh yeah.

553
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: And it's a scam. And I don't think public utilities

554
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: give campaign donations. Why are public utilities using our money

555
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: to pay politicians so they get left on. It's another

556
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: thing I can't believe people put up with.

557
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 2: I mean, the high inflation prices brought down Biden's presidency

558
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 2: more than anything. Why we've got in some cases we

559
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 2: have double the gas prices of other states, and we've

560
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 2: got seventy percent higher electricity prices. And much of this

561
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 2: comes from Newsom and the California legislature, and again nothing

562
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 2: happens to them.

563
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: Well, we did win two seats in the Assembly this year,

564
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: so we went from eighteen to twenty out of eighty.

565
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: We don't need a majority. If we could just get

566
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: to twenty seven, we could break the supermajority, you know,

567
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: which we have had since you know days of Arnold

568
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: when they pass that tax increase and that you know that, right.

569
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: But you know the hardest part of this job, John,

570
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: as I show up there every day, it's so much

571
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: it's so many things they're doing and throwing in so

572
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: many issues, so I know we just.

573
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 2: Crammed in about fifteen different things in the last forty

574
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 2: five minutes.

575
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: All Right, thank you for coming. Thank you, Bill A. Saley.

576
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: When we come back. You're not going to believe this.

577
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: There's a Los Angeles deputy mayor getting investigated for calling

578
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: in a bomb thread against city hall, one of Karen

579
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 2: Bess's deputy mayors.

580
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that coming up.

581
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am

582
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 3: six forty.

583
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: Mark Thompson is coming in for Conway and he'll be

584
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: here in just a couple of minutes. All Right, this story,

585
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: you're not going to believe this, but of course you'll

586
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: believe this. This is just came across LA Times and

587
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: New York Times in the last few minutes. FBI agents

588
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 2: searched the home of a Los Angeles deputy mayor, one

589
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: of Karen Bass's deputy mayors, as part of an investigation

590
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: into a bomb threat. Brian Williams is the guy's name.

591
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: Get this.

592
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 2: He's deputy mayor for Public Safety and they say he

593
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 2: made a bomb threat against city Hall earlier this year.

594
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: L APD identified Williams as the likely source of the

595
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: bomb threat. The guy who helps oversee the police department

596
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 2: for Karen Bass is accused by the police department for

597
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 2: making a bomb threat to city Hall. LPD says earlier

598
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: this year, we responded to a bomb threat. Our initial

599
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: investigation revealed the source of the threat was likely Brian Williams,

600
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 2: Deputy Mayor for Public Safety. Due to the department's working

601
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: relationship with Williams, the investigation was referred to the FBI.

602
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: Can you believe this? He has been deputy mayor for

603
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: two years. In Bass's office, he works on issues such

604
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: as police hiring, public safety spending, and the search for

605
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: a new police chief. He was helping find the new

606
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,959
Speaker 2: police chief and he's calling in bomb threats. He was

607
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: also a deputy mayor for James Hahn, who was the

608
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: mayor twenty years ago. He was an assistant city attorney

609
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: in La He was the executive director for seven years

610
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 2: of La County's Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission, and in Bass's

611
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 2: office the last two years, he oversaw the police department,

612
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 2: the fire Department, the Port Police, the Airport Police, and

613
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: the city's Emergency Management Agency. He's overseeing all that for

614
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: Karen Bass and he's calling in bomb threats to city hall.

615
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: The funniest part of this story they quote a neighbor,

616
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: Peggy Names, who lives next door in Pasadena. He's not

617
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: capable of that. It's ridiculous. They must have the wrong

618
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: Brian Williams. Yeah, maybe it's the TV anchor. I'm positive

619
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: they're a wonderful family. They go to church every Sunday.

620
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: They're upstanding pillars of the community and we've enjoyed having

621
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: them as our neighbors over for over twenty years.

622
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: That's just.

623
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: Well, the FBI has raided the guy's home and they

624
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: say he's calling in bomb threats. What a day today was?

625
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: We got Mark Thompson. I don't trust anybody who's in

626
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 2: church every Sunday, to be honest. I'm glad they're read it.

627
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: The guys. That's right, all churchgoers don't have their home.

628
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: I think it's a bit it's too big a cover.

629
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 2: Well, you know what I know, Actually I agree with you.

630
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 2: That's always been my theory is, watch the pillars of

631
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: the community go to church. They're teaching Bible study, they

632
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 2: belonged to all the civic organizations, you know, they're a

633
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: boy Scout leader, especially the boy Scout leader.

634
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 4: I mean, well, my pal Jimmy, he went to church

635
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 4: every Sunday. And the guy went to church every Sunday.

636
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 4: Alongside him was the priest. And I'll tell you the

637
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 4: priest molested my pal Jimmy.

638
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: Okay, one of those two, Yeah, yeah, I had one

639
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:26,320
