1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:00,960 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 2: I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel 3 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 2: podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: All right, I have been taught. 5 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 2: I've been saying longingly, I wish we had a doze 6 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 2: here in California, in Sacramento, in Los Angeles, because I 7 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 2: think the waste, the fraud, the criminal activity on the 8 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 2: part of the legislature and the city council here in 9 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 2: LA and just all of it. I think the criminality, 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: the theft, the fraud is overwhelming. So Carl the Mile, 11 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 2: the Republican assemblyman from San Diego County, all by himself, 12 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: is trying to chip away at it. And late last 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 2: week at a budget hearing, he started talking about twenty 14 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: five million dollars for some COVID nineteen workplace outreach program. 15 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: And of course COVID is long gone years ago. What's 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: this money for. Wow, it turns out it's going to 17 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 2: seventy six far left political organizations. 18 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: It's a slushbud. It's a huge slushbud. 19 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: And he started talking about it publicly at the committee hearing, 20 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: and Robert Reevis, the Assembly speaker, a Democrat, got so 21 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: pissed that this had been unmasked that he kicked Demaya 22 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: off the committee by Friday afternoon, and now we have 23 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: Karl Demaya with us to talk about it. 24 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 3: Carl, how are you, hey, John, How are you doing? 25 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: I am good. 26 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: Well, tell us the story from the beginning. How did 27 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 2: you discover just this twenty five million dollar COVID workplace 28 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: outreach program? 29 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 3: Oh, here's the story from the very beginning. Your longtime 30 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 3: listeners know from my various appearances on your show that 31 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 3: in a previous life, before I got into politics, I 32 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 3: had started one of the largest good government groups in 33 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: the nation in the nineteen nineties and we audit government programs. 34 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 3: We looked for cost efficiencies. We were a dozing government 35 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 3: before doze existed. And I love what Trump and Elon 36 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 3: Musk are doing. It's exactly what we need. And so 37 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: when I was elected to the Assembly, one of my 38 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: priorities was I want to take a fine tooth comb 39 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 3: go through the state budget, asked tough questions, audit programs 40 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 3: because we're in a budget crisis. We need to balance 41 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 3: the budget without cutting services. And you know, frankly, I 42 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 3: don't think the legislature has done a very good job 43 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 3: for twenty years looking at the budget, and so this 44 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 3: was very important to me. I think it's very important 45 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: to my constituents and all Californians. So I got put 46 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 3: on the budget committee, and I was excited. I showed 47 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 3: up to my first meeting two weeks ago, and the 48 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 3: first thing I did is I called out Governor Newsom 49 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 3: for lying to the public about the budget. He said, 50 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: we had a quote modest surplus, but we did an 51 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 3: audit and went through the actual transfers in the budget 52 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: and show that we were looking at, you know, seven 53 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: eight billion dollars easily using their numbers, but I don't 54 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 3: even trust their numbers. But we are looking at multi 55 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 3: billion dollars of red ink for the following several years. 56 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 3: But then on top of that, I said, let's look 57 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: at where some of this money's going. I asked about 58 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 3: the illegal immigrant health care because Newsom said a year ago, 59 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: when you put this program in place to give free 60 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 3: healthcare to illegal immigrants at taxpayer expense, that oh, it's 61 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: only going to cost six billion, and most of this 62 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 3: money will be reimbursed by the federal government because they're refugees, 63 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 3: and so tax beyers really aren't in the California state 64 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: tax bearers wouldn't really be shouldering the boat burden. Well, 65 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: my whistleblowers, who actually have inside knowledge and we work 66 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 3: with people inside and outside government, said it's much more 67 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 3: than that. But you know, you know, here's here's where 68 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 3: you can look into various accounts, and it looked to 69 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 3: me like it was not six billion, but substantially more. 70 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 3: So I asked, on record, how much is it, because 71 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 3: I know it's more than six and I've got my information, 72 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: but I'm gonna give you a chance to give the 73 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: public an answer, and to their credit, at least, you know, 74 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 3: at the beginning, they said, yeah, you're right, it's nine 75 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 3: point five billion, and it's eight billion dollars in the 76 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: general fund, which means that is one out of four 77 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 3: medical dollars in the general fund of the State of 78 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 3: California budget goes to an illegal immigrant. Those are all 79 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 3: costs that are not reimbursed by the federal government. They 80 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 3: are born entirely by taxpayers. Gavin Newsom lied to the public. 81 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: Either he was ignorant or he was dishonest, But we 82 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 3: got that out there. So that was two weeks ago. 83 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 3: Then last week I showed up and I found this 84 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 3: COVID program in the budget. So that was what I 85 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 3: decided to ask about. I had my staff pull the 86 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 3: grantees and contractors that were getting money from this program, 87 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 3: because they said, look, we shouldn't even have a COVID 88 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: program in twenty twenty five. Nobody needs to be told 89 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: about the dangers of COVID in the workplace in twenty 90 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 3: twenty five. That is so twenty twenty. You know, you 91 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 3: know what we're gonna do, lockdowns, force everyone to wear masks. 92 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 3: So I said, first, the program looks on the face 93 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 3: of it to be absolutely redundant and not necessary. But 94 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 3: when we followed the money, we figured out why they 95 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,119 Speaker 3: still have this program. Twenty five million dollars. Seventy three 96 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 3: organizations got this money, all of whom are political groups, 97 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 3: left wing political groups. They are engaging in ballot harvesting, 98 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 3: candidate training and recruitment, voter education, lobbying, ballot measures, tax increases. 99 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 3: I mean, these people look and there's nothing wrong with 100 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 3: groups engaging that behavior as long as they use their 101 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 3: own money, not our taxpair money. So I said, how 102 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 3: is this not money laundering? Because the best way I 103 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 3: could describe this is putting together a program with a 104 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 3: stated purpose and then suddenly using that as the veil 105 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 3: or the conduit to transfer money for the real purpose 106 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 3: of the program. None of these programs, these these left 107 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 3: wing groups, john have any experience in healthcare or workplace safety. 108 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 3: All of them are political groups. So to a reasonable 109 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 3: person looking at this, this is a money, money laundering scheme. 110 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 3: There's no other way to describe it. And that's how 111 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: we described it. That went viral last week. Well after 112 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 3: that hearing, that was it. The Democrats said, we can't 113 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 3: have this guy going after the budget and doing this. 114 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 3: He has to be silenced for taking h off the committee. 115 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 3: It's abusive power. It's abusive power. But you know shows 116 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 3: that we're over the target. 117 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know you. I mean you hit the target. 118 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: So Robert read this the Assembly speaker. Does he call 119 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 2: you and kick you off the committee or do you 120 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 2: get a Twitter. 121 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: Message or what? 122 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 3: No? No, no, no, no, there's no such courtesy. It 123 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 3: just you know, might makes right. He just did it. 124 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 3: And let me just also point out, you know, how 125 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 3: how illegitimate this is from the standpoint of our democracy. 126 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 3: I understand that California Republicans are a minority party. We 127 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 3: didn't win as many seats as the Democrats, and so 128 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 3: they have a right to run the Assembly, they have 129 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 3: a right to more vote, more seats on each of 130 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 3: the committees, and most committees have nine Democrats and three Republicans. 131 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 3: I'm not asking to change that. That is just simply math. However, 132 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 3: I'll be damned if the Democrats get to choose who 133 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 3: they square off with on those committees. This would be 134 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 3: like saying, all right, we're in a football league and 135 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 3: we're gonna have fair competitions and fair games. But you 136 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 3: know what, at every game, the chosen team gets to 137 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 3: pick the players of the other teams and gets to 138 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 3: decide who gets to play and what positions they get 139 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 3: to play in, and the best players get to the sidelighted. 140 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 3: That's not a fair competition. That's rigging the process. And 141 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: so what what the Democrats have done in Sacramento by 142 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 3: saying we get to choose which Republicans we square off with. 143 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 3: They're trying to rig our democracy once again. They're stripping 144 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 3: us of our minority rights. And it's all because they 145 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: don't want the public to know what scams and scenes 146 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 3: they've been engaging in with our dollars. 147 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 2: I mean, Reavis is basically admitting that you're right, but 148 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: I don't did he offer any evidence that you were 149 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 2: uh mistaken in your charges or you just no shut 150 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: you just shut you down, which means you're you actually 151 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: you were telling the truth that this has nothing This 152 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: has nothing to do with COVID, that's a cover story. 153 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 2: It has to do with funding these left wing activist 154 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 2: organizations with our tax dollars. 155 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 3: Oh and and and John. This is not the only 156 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 3: program where this money laundering is occurring. It is occurring 157 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 3: across the board. They're funding all sorts of uh political 158 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 3: groups with your taxpayer money in all sorts of accounts, 159 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 3: and we have a list of those accounts. By the way, 160 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 3: we have a whole char target list in my office. 161 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 3: And when I said I was going to doze California 162 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 3: and then it now, I don't have the resources that 163 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 3: Elon Musk has in the federal government because he has 164 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 3: a full on government team that President Trump has entrusted 165 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 3: him with. What we're doing is working with outside whistleblowers, 166 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: outside resources, outside investigators, and the very hard working but 167 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 3: limited staff I have in my Assembly office to do 168 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 3: this work. And I'll tell you we have other bombshells 169 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 3: coming down the road. I do not need to be 170 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 3: on the Budget Committee, although it'd be easier. I do 171 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 3: not need to be on the Budget Committee to do 172 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 3: this work. And if Robert Reeves, the Democrat speaker, thought 173 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 3: he was going to shut me up by taking me 174 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 3: off of this committee, oh honey, We've got a whole 175 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 3: different story coming down the pike. We are not going 176 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 3: to be bullied into silence. We're not going to be deterred. 177 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 3: We're on a mission, and I think the public has 178 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 3: a right to know what's going on with their money. 179 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 3: That's important for us to get o. 180 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: There is there anyone on the Republican side willing to 181 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 2: take up the mantle for you. 182 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: I mean he can't. 183 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 2: He can't kick off all the Republicans. You're entitled to 184 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: three seats, right, I mean, I mean all the Republicans 185 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 2: really ought to be doing what you're doing here. 186 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 3: I think every legislator, whether they're a Democrat or Republican, 187 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 3: should be doing oversight and scrutinizing the numbers. But here's 188 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 3: the deal. I built a career out of this for 189 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 3: thirty years, and so I will admit I'm a geek. 190 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 3: I'm an accountant, I'm an auditor, I'm a forensic investigator. 191 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 3: That's my mindset, and that's why I was very successful 192 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 3: for thirty years in doing that and helping troubled financial 193 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 3: financially troubled government programs balance. 194 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not No. 195 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 2: I know maybe others have different talents, and you you're 196 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 2: the best at this. But I'm saying I think all 197 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: the other Republicans ought to say, no, you can't do this. 198 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: I mean that because. 199 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: This is wrong well, and this is proving corruption, this 200 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 2: is proving money laundering here. 201 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 3: I'll let my colleagues do what they feel comfortable doing. 202 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 3: I do know that this is a very punitive culture 203 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 3: up here, where might makes right the abuse of power. 204 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 3: And they have threatened other Republicans that if they rock 205 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 3: the boat, they'll be taken off committees. If they rock 206 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 3: the boat, their bills would be killed. 207 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 2: They can't take everybody off all the committees, right, you're 208 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 2: entitled to certain number of seats. 209 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 3: Sure, you know I could, but we'll see every time 210 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 3: I think they've done something horrible, and they'll never never 211 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 3: sink lower. Oh they always surprise me. So look, the 212 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 3: reality is that instead of worrying about how do we 213 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 3: get the information out there. Let's get the information out there. 214 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 3: What they did by removing us from the Budget Committee. 215 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 3: It was wrong, it was thubbery. There's no other way 216 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 3: to describe it. It's corruption, it's a cover up whatever. 217 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 3: But it's not going to deter us. And my hope 218 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 3: is that the public will support us and have my back. 219 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 3: If people are interested in supporting us outside, we are 220 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: hiring resource researchers. They can go to reform California dot org. 221 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 3: That's our mothership. We even have a Doge page up there. 222 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 3: Now reform California dot org and join the fight, plus 223 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 3: share the videos that we're putting out. What I like 224 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 3: to do is put our findings in a video format 225 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 3: because things are very viral these days, and people like 226 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 3: to see charts and grabs, and so we make it 227 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 3: really simple. But we've got to get the word out 228 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 3: there because what we're seeing with Elon must and Doge 229 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 3: is the latest polling shows about sixty five percent approval 230 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 3: of the Doze effort. I believe in California, even Democrat 231 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 3: voters want to see this sort of forensic accounting and 232 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 3: auditing of state government, and they're interested in what the 233 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 3: findings are. 234 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 2: Carl, keep doing it and anything you've got, you got 235 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 2: a home here, like I always tell you. 236 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 3: Oh, we are very appreciative of that, because while the 237 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 3: speaker wants to muzzle us, we're appreciative of John that 238 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 3: you do not want people to be left in the dark. 239 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 3: And we will show up anytime we have interesting information 240 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 3: to share. 241 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: All right, Carl Demye, California Assemblymen, we'll talk more about this. 242 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM 243 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 4: six forty. 244 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: Did you just hear Carl Demaya? Oh? 245 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 2: Man, I hope you didn't miss this. That's why you 246 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 2: go to the podcast after four o'clock on the iHeart app. 247 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 2: Because Carl told the story of exposing twenty five million 248 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: dollars worth of fraud from Gavin Newsom the California Legislature, 249 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 2: twenty five million dollars that they're laundering through a program 250 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 2: called COVID nineteen workplace Outreach. And it's nonsense. The whole 251 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 2: thing has nothing to do with workplace outreach for COVID. 252 00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: It was seventy three politically political activist groups, left wing 253 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: activist groups who are getting money to do all sorts 254 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 2: of political agitation, like Carl said, which is fine, it's legal, 255 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 2: but not to be funded with tax money. And something 256 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: Carl touched on, is there any well, however you vote, 257 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 2: Is there anybody who thinks this should be allowed? Are 258 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: are there Democratic voters who think our tax money twenty 259 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 2: five million dollars should be spent on political activism? Whether 260 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 2: you agree with the the messages or not, these are 261 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 2: alleged nonprofit organization's political activism that should be funded by 262 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 2: the donors. For these groups, however, they raise their money 263 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: not funded by the tax beyers twenty five million dollars. 264 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 2: And this is just one program. And the reason Carl 265 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: Demio came on and he's the assemblyman out of San Diego, 266 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: is he's starts talking about it and the Assembly speaker 267 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 2: kicks him off the budget committee Friday afternoon at five o'clock. 268 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 2: This is not something he wants discussed. This is criminal behavior. 269 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: If you have a budget item that says COVID nineteen 270 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 2: workplace outreach and it turns out it goes to political 271 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: activities seventy three left wing groups, Clearly that's fraud. Clearly 272 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 2: that should be illegal. Clearly people ought to go to 273 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 2: jail for this. That's a lot of money, twenty five 274 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 2: million dollars, and so Reavis wants this covered up because 275 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 2: the videos go viral. But are there any I mean, 276 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 2: people who support the mile obviously are gonna agree, But 277 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 2: independent and Democrat voters don't you agree? 278 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: Doesn't everyone? Isn't this like a shouldn't be one hundred 279 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: It should be one hundred percent? Right? 280 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: Tax money should not go to political activity, and then 281 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 2: the money shouldn't be laundered, covered up. 282 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: We shouldn't be lied to about it because how much? 283 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 2: How many times do you how how many times are 284 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 2: we gonna hear about they don't have funding to help 285 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 2: the fire victims? 286 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: How many times do we hear about. 287 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 2: Schools not having enough funding, the road's not having enough funding. 288 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,119 Speaker 2: You know, I don't have enough money to clean the forests, 289 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 2: to keep the beaches clear. How you constantly hear we 290 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 2: all have enough money? You won't to have twenty five 291 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:43,479 Speaker 2: million dollars? I mean, this is fraud. These guys are snakes, 292 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 2: the criminals, these legislators are criminals. The NEWSOB administration is 293 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 2: filled with a bunch of criminals siphoning off money. This 294 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 2: is just one little tiny sliver, one little tiny sliver. 295 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 2: It's like the crap that they're finding in Washington, and 296 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: it's been going on for many years both parties, and 297 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 2: if legislators are not part of it, and a lot 298 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 2: of more part of the scam, then they're too cowardly 299 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 2: to make a ruckus about it. And Carl Demles seems 300 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 2: to be the only guy. How could it be. We've 301 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 2: got eighty assembly people, forty states senators, thousands of people 302 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 2: in government and Carl de Myles the only guy in 303 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 2: the whole state. 304 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: But I guess it is like Washington too, right there. 305 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 2: We've got five hundred and thirty five senators in congressman 306 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 2: hundreds of millions really when it comes to government workers, 307 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 2: and nobody ever blew the whistle on all the ways 308 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 2: that Musk is finding. You know, every five minutes that 309 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 2: there has to be a complete sea change. And I'm 310 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 2: just asking you who cares who found it? Every Democratic 311 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 2: legislator ought to be digging this stuff out. Unless again, 312 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 2: two things, they're part of the racket. They're one of 313 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 2: the criminals laundering the money somehow they're getting the proceeds, 314 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 2: or they're that cowardly that they're willing to spend millions 315 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 2: of dollars of your money just to reward political activist lunatics. 316 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 2: In case you wonder where the people come for these protests, 317 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 2: they come from these kinds of organizations. You're paying for 318 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 2: these protests. Just as one example, the the UH one 319 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 2: of these UH one of these the congregations organized for 320 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 2: prophetic engagement. It's a weird name, makes it sound like 321 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: it's religious. I guess that's part of the scam. Oh 322 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: congregations fetic engagement. Now, it's not a religion. They're engaged 323 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 2: in ballot harvesting during elections. So when you see some 324 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 2: of these candidates with a big surge when they start 325 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 2: counting the mail in ballots, they're fake ballots, really, and 326 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 2: you're paying for them with your tax money, and maybe 327 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 2: that's why your guy can't win.

You just say, hey, you you 446 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 2: fly back your illegal aliens, or you lose all the 447 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 2: federal money we give you all the USA. It's not 448 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 2: that difficult. Now here's the other story. Maybe this would 449 00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 2: be more interesting. So everybody. Some people freaked out very 450 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 2: angry when Trump and JD. Vance be rated Zelensky, and 451 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 2: they were upset that he wasn't appreciative, wouldn't sign the 452 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 2: minerals deal that everybody had worked out behind the scenes. 453 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: I mean that that little Oval Office meeting was just 454 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 2: supposed to be a performance. It was supposed to be 455 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 2: just a formality, and then they were all they were 456 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 2: going to sign the documents and have lunch and everybody 457 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 2: was going to be happy. And then Zolensky, for whatever reason, 458 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 2: backed out, demanded more money and made comments that enraged Trump. Well, 459 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 2: and everybody said that that was that was disastrous for Trump. 460 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 2: It made America look terrible. That's not the way a 461 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 2: president should act. And my first reaction was, this stuff 462 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 2: goes on all the time. We just happened to see it, 463 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 2: and I'm glad I saw it. I want to know 464 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 2: what they're really doing behind closed doors. It's our lives 465 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 2: that they are playing with, it's our money that they're spending. Yeah, 466 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 2: I want to see what really happens. Why do people 467 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 2: not want to see reality? World leaders yell at each 468 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 2: other all the time. Here's some proof. Took three days, 469 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 2: but there was a story in October thirty first, twenty 470 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 2: twenty two. It took three days before somebody dug it up. 471 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 2: Joe Biden and Voldemir Zelensky speak by phone whenever the 472 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 2: US announces a new package of military assistants for Ukraine. 473 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 2: By this time, the war was what seven months old, 474 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 2: but according to NBC News, a phone call between Zelensky 475 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 2: and Biden over the summer played out differently. According to 476 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 2: four people familiar with the call, Biden had barely finished 477 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 2: telling Zelensky that he had just approved another billion dollars 478 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 2: in military assistance for Ukraine when Zelensky started listing all 479 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 2: the additional help that he needed and wasn't getting. 480 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: In other words, there wasn't a thank you. 481 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 2: It's like, wait, I need this and this and this 482 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 2: and this, and Biden lost his temper. He started yelling 483 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 2: at Zelensky that the American people were being quite generous 484 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 2: and his administration and the US military were working hard 485 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 2: to help Ukraine. 486 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: Started raising his. 487 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 2: Voice and said Zelensky could show a little more gratitude, 488 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 2: which is exactly what Trump advanced told him, because I 489 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 2: think Zelensky turns out to be an annoying little jerk, 490 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 2: and no matter how much you give him, he always 491 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 2: wants more. We get three hundred and fifty billion dollars. 492 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 2: You know what Trump said today. I don't know if 493 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 2: it's true, but you'll get the idea. He said, we 494 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 2: could have rebuilt our entire US Navy with three hundred 495 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 2: and fifty billion dollars, Like at some point, there's got 496 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 2: to be a limit here, right, there's got to be 497 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 2: a limit. Three hundred and fifty billion Jesus, and we 498 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 2: got nothing out of it. And uh so, anyway, this 499 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 2: goes on all the time.
