1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Can'tf I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 2: This is Carl Demayo filling in for John Cobelt. I 4 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 2: gotta say I love being back on radio. Those of 5 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 2: you who know may know I spent eight years hosting 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 2: my own radio show. Now I'm inside the belly the 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 2: Beast as a California State Legislature legislator. I've been in 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 2: office for a little over one hundred days. But it's 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 2: wonderful being back because we get to have a conversation 10 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 2: about what's going on in this state, the real problems 11 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 2: that people are facing, and the fact that our politicians 12 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: are not delivering solutions. The system is corrupt, it's broken. 13 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: I went through all the ways Sacramento, the Sacramento Swamp 14 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: is corrupt, serving its own interest, not your interest. During 15 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: the one o'clock hour. If you missed it, check out 16 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app and get the one o'clock podcast when 17 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,199 Speaker 2: it's posted. But then we laid out a plan because 18 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 2: I don't want to just get your blood pressure up. No, no, no, 19 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: that wouldn't be healthy. Before you say, okay, it's so 20 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: bad in California. Carl told me it's corrupt and all 21 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: these problems, the highest cost of living, this homelessness crisis, 22 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 2: this crime wave, the schools are are are failing our kids. 23 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: The roads are falling apart. Boy, it's really bad out here. 24 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 2: I got to pack my bags. I gotta flee. Nope, 25 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 2: you can stay, stay and fight. You just haven't had 26 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: a real opposition party in California in about twenty to 27 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: thirty years. We've had a uniparty, the Democrats and the 28 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: special interests and whatever few handful of Republicans we had. 29 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: With rare exception, there have been some good ones Kevin 30 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: Kylie Bill A. Saley, But with rare exception, most Republicans 31 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: have been well part of the problem. Collaborators. They are 32 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 2: willing to accept scraps. They're only interested in their own 33 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 2: political careers. So they go to the master and they say, 34 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: I won't rock the boat. Just don't come after me. 35 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 2: Let me stay in office. I don't present a threat 36 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: to you. And as a result, most people have given 37 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: a pope because they don't see anyone fighting. That's where 38 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 2: reform California comes in the movement. I'm leading, sure, I'm 39 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: a legislator. But basically the reason why I decided to 40 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 2: run for office was I wanted to go inside the 41 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: belly the beast. I knew it would really tick them off, 42 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 2: but I knew that getting inside that corrupt culture would 43 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 2: allow us to bring in a different energy to agitate 44 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,839 Speaker 2: from within the system, like a virus. And what we're 45 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: being as a major shift amongst Republicans in Sacramento, and 46 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: we need more. We need more fighters elected to the 47 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 2: California State Assembly and State Senate. We need to get 48 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: good candidates running for all the state wide offices like governor. 49 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 2: We just heard from Steve Hilton, but we've got eight 50 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 2: statewide offices Attorney General, Secretary of State, Lieutenant governor, California 51 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: Superintendent of Schools, all of these statewide offices that I 52 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 2: believe are actually winnable with the right team of candidates. 53 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: So at Reform California, we have our five point plan. 54 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 2: Number One, make the case to voters by educating them 55 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: on how bad things are. Number two, provide solutions and 56 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: candidates they can vote for to get those solutions implemented. 57 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: Don't let any office go with a pass. Don't forfeit 58 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: a single office, whether it's a judge office, a school 59 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: board race, city council, mayor's race, state assembly, US Congress, governor. 60 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: Don't give a pass. Put a good candidate in every 61 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 2: race with a common set of reforms. Third, build a 62 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: statewide movement of grassroots activists willing to support these candidates. Fourth, 63 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 2: turn out the vote. Go to the Republican voters, the 64 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: independent voters, the Democrats who are disgruntled, and tell them 65 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 2: their vote matters. I'll tell you right now. The liberal media, 66 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: the broken political system, the Democrats. They love it when 67 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: people move out of the state or decide not to 68 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 2: return their ballot, because that's when they win. When you 69 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: give up hope their system wins. They don't want you 70 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 2: to know how powerful you really are. And you are powerful. 71 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 2: I'm serious. If everyone did just a little bit, this 72 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: movement can take back our state. And then fifth, raise 73 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 2: the resources to do the first four things. You want 74 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 2: to be part of that. Go to the website reform 75 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: California dot org. Reform California dot org. The first thing 76 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: I need you to do is sign the voter ID petition. 77 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: We need a million signatures to put voter ID on 78 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: the ballot in twenty twenty six voter ID petition dot org. 79 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: Voter ID Petition dot org can also sign it directly 80 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 2: at Reform California dot org. But we need you to 81 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: be part of this growing statewide movement. No one is 82 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 2: coming to save us but ourselves. There's no White Night 83 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:34,239 Speaker 2: billionaire galloping in. Who's gonna save California not gonna happen. 84 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 2: It's going to be you and me, our neighbors, our 85 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: family members, our friends, co workers, people we know at church, 86 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: all of us coming together. Because once we start working 87 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: together under a common strategy, focusing on flipping a limited 88 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: set of seats, focusing on one's slate of candidates statewide, 89 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 2: all for one, one for all, that's when we absolutely 90 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: move the needle. And like I said, if every Republican 91 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: who voted for Donald Trump, not just Republican, let me 92 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 2: correct myself, every California voter who voted for Donald Trump 93 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty four election, which includes a lot 94 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: of disgruntled Democrats, a lot of Independents, a lot of 95 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: registered Republicans, if all of them show up to vote 96 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: in the midterm election in twenty twenty six and vote 97 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 2: for a reform slate, the eight statewide candidates, including our 98 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: candidate for governor and all of our candidates for state Assembly, 99 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 2: state Senate, Congress, school Board, Mosquito Abatement District. Every race 100 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 2: we're going to flip a whole bunch of seats, and 101 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,559 Speaker 2: in fact, the governor's race becomes a coin toss fifty 102 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 2: to fifty. Midterm elections have a big drop off and 103 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 2: turnout in some areas. Turnout will be twenty percent of 104 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 2: registered voters will vote in the twenty twenty six election, 105 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: which means that the people who actually show up, even 106 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: if they are less as a percentage of registered voters, 107 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 2: if they are the ones that give a damn, if 108 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: they have hope, if they're motivated, and they show up 109 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: and they vote, they will flip the seats. And so 110 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,679 Speaker 2: I'm on a mission. My mission in the next eighteen 111 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: months is to build this movement. But the way we're 112 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 2: going to use this movement in the twenty twenty six 113 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 2: election is to try to flip some statewide races, including governor. 114 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: But I'm on a mission to break the Democrats supermajority 115 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 2: in Sacramento. The supermajority is anytime a political party has 116 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 2: two thirds of the seats in the legislature, they get 117 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: to do whatever the hell they want without any consultation 118 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: with the minority party. So in order for us to 119 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,239 Speaker 2: be relevant and then restore political balance in our state, 120 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: we need number one, to pick up seats, enough seats 121 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: to break the super majority. But number two, we need 122 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: fighters in those seats. I don't want to elect a 123 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: sellout Republican. We've had enough of those. I want to 124 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:24,239 Speaker 2: elect a fighter to every seat, someone who's not willing 125 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 2: to just go along to get along, someone who's going 126 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 2: to say my job is to speak truth to power. 127 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 2: My job is to present the solution, not watered down. 128 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 2: And if that means the Democrats vote me down, so 129 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 2: be it. I did the right thing. I stood my ground. 130 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: And if you have people who are willing to speak 131 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 2: up in a broken system people here, it does impact. 132 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: So we need the fighters. So we're up and down 133 00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 2: the state of California recruiting candidates. We've identified sixteen legislative 134 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: seats that we believe we can flip in the twenty 135 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 2: twenty sixth election to break the super majority. All we 136 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 2: need are seven seats out of sixteen. By the way, 137 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: seven out of sixteen that's less than a fifty percent 138 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 2: batting average. We have twenty six seats that we're targeting 139 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 2: when you include the House seats, but there are a 140 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 2: bunch of winnable seats and chances are in Southern California 141 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 2: you live in one of these seats.

That's our whole campaign of recruiting 144 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 2: candidates to our fighters, vetting them, endorsing them, training them, 145 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: mentoring them, supporting them. Because it's not like the Republican 146 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 2: Party of California is doing this. We are going to 147 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 2: build a team of fighters and of course a movement 148 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: to support them. Plus we're going to get voter idea 149 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 2: on the ballot in twenty twenty six if you get 150 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: to that website and share it at voteridpetition dot org 151 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 2: voteridpetition dot org.

Well, now that that's 159 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 2: a vacant seat, we have a great candidate running to 160 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 2: fill that vacancy, Lake Elson or City council member Natasha Johnson. 161 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 2: She's a fighter, she's got my endorsement, and you need 162 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: to help her.

We're talking 170 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: about how do we take back our state from the 171 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: insanity of far left politics and fixed problems? How do 172 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: we reform a corrupt and broken political system. Well, you 173 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 2: do it, one good leader at a time. Our top 174 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 2: priority at Reform California is to recruit, train, endorse mentor 175 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: and support reform minded candidates for office, most importantly to 176 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 2: break the supermajority in the state legislature so that we 177 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 2: have balance again. And we're not going to be able 178 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: to do that unless we win a special election coming 179 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 2: up in Inland Empire in the Riverside County area Assembly 180 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 2: District District sixty three, which is Corona, Norco all the 181 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 2: way down the fifteen Freeway to right above Murieta. That's 182 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 2: the district Good district formerly represented by Bill is Sale. 183 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 2: He resigned to become the special prosecutor, the US Attorney 184 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: for Southern California. And we're all backing Natasha Johnson, a 185 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: city council member from that area. She's running for state 186 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: Assembly and she joins us right now on KFI. Natasha, 187 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 2: thanks for stopping by so first and foremost, tell us 188 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 2: why you've lost your mind and want to come to 189 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 2: the corrupt swamp of Sacramento. 190 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 4: Well, thanks for having me, Carl. I am, I'm not insane, 191 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 4: I am very I'm very clear on this direction. And 192 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 4: I think I think the question I asked myself was 193 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 4: did I want to run? No? Was I asked to run? Yes? 194 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 4: And when someone tells you they want to versus you 195 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 4: want to versus you. They need you. I think that 196 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 4: that just hits a little bit different. Bill A. Salley 197 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 4: represented our district incredibly well, and when he called and 198 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 4: asked if I would continue the crazy fight in Sacramento 199 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 4: as a minority and continue to be a strong voice 200 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 4: that with our conservative values and fight for California and 201 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 4: specifically the sixty three, that's hard to say no to 202 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,359 Speaker 4: because I'm tired of Sacramento getting it wrong. Our communities 203 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 4: are hurting, Families can't afford to live here. You know, 204 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 4: crime is rising. People who created this mess are making 205 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 4: the rules. And you know, as a woman of face, 206 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 4: a mom, a business owner, you can't say no. You 207 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 4: can't complain and not do something about it. So I couldn't. 208 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 4: I couldn't say no when I was called. And I'm 209 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 4: stepping up because I believe we need leaders who are 210 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 4: in it for the right reasons. I'm not looking for 211 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 4: a job. I've got plenty of those. I know that 212 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 4: we're not in the majority in Sacramento, but that doesn't 213 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 4: mean that we're not going to just stand down. As 214 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 4: a matter of fact, I think it means we have 215 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 4: to speak louder, We have to stand firmer, and we 216 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 4: have to fight harder. So I don't know that I 217 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 4: wanted to do this, but I know I needed to 218 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,479 Speaker 4: do this, So I want to be that voice. 219 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 2: Well, I'm thrilled that you were willing to run. I 220 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 2: know it's a sacrifice. It's not going to be easy 221 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: to win the election. It's also not going to be 222 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 2: easy to fight for what is right up in Sacramento. 223 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: Give us one or two things, three things that you 224 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 2: really hope to achieve in Sacramento. What's going to be 225 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 2: your approach to try to bring new energy into what 226 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 2: is really a broken political system up here. 227 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I think what makes me qualified to serve 228 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 4: is that I b's on the ground and serving at 229 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 4: the law local level gives you a lot of gives 230 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 4: you your training wheels, right, and the things that I've 231 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 4: been advocate an advocate for and very passionate about in 232 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 4: creating change and having impact our public safety. Basically, we 233 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 4: need to hold violent criminals accountable and restore respects for 234 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 4: law enforcement. I come from a law enforcement family. I 235 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 4: know the challenges they face on a daily basis, and 236 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 4: I know that they do not have the correct tools 237 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 4: to do their jobs. So we need to reverse some 238 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 4: of those decisions so that our streets are more safe 239 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 4: and we give law enforcement the economy to do what 240 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 4: they needed to do to protect our communities. So that's 241 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 4: first and foremost. Public safety will be one of my 242 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 4: number one priorities as well as good God. We have 243 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 4: to help with the cost of living, the crushing cost 244 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 4: of living in California. My husband and I are small 245 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 4: business owners, and as a counsel woman, I push backs 246 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 4: on different different fees and all these hikes and all 247 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 4: these hiking regulations. I know that in Sacramento that's not 248 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 4: an easy task. But the one thing that's very important 249 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 4: and that's been said to me over and over as 250 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 4: we have to eliminate this gas tax, and that's extremely 251 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 4: important to me. Lowering taxes and creating some breathing room 252 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 4: for working families just like mine and yours. And I 253 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 4: would say, you know, not last, but definitely top of 254 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 4: the list. The list could go on and on. Is 255 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 4: I'm a mom, so parental rights and education is important 256 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 4: to me. I don't want the government telling me how 257 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 4: to raise my children. I think parents deserve a say period. 258 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 4: I want to fight for school choice, greater transparency, and 259 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 4: truly just an education system that partners with parents, doesn't 260 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 4: shut them out of the conversation. So to be real, 261 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 4: I've raising or have raised three boys, and I know 262 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 4: firsthand what it's like to not be invited to that 263 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 4: conversation or be told you're not allowed. So I think 264 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 4: I want to fight on behalf of every parent. I've 265 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 4: been Sacramento as well well. 266 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 2: I love those three top priorities. And as you just mentioned, 267 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: there's a whole, longry list of other problems that we 268 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 2: have to tackle. But the reason why I'm supporting you 269 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 2: is that you're a fighter. Not only you write on 270 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 2: the issues, You're willing to speak truth to power. You're 271 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 2: willing to put the effort in to fight for all 272 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 2: of us, give voice to the voiceless. What's your website? 273 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 2: Because you your special election is going to be very difficult. 274 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 2: We need to make sure we win the seat and 275 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 2: keep it in order to break the supermajority.

This week. I want 318 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 2: to talk about sewage. You know, in California we're all environmentalists. 319 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 2: I mean, when you think about California's DNA, what voters 320 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 2: all agree on, There's not a lot we agree on 321 00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: but we're pretty darn proud of our environment, our beaches, 322 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 2: our bays, the strongest suit we have when it comes 323 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 2: to the environment. We want to make sure we protect 324 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 2: that Democrats who are running the show, because Democrats run 325 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: every level of power out here, state and local government. 326 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 2: They always say that they're the ones saving the planet 327 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 2: from destruction, that the environment is being destroyed by these 328 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 2: darn Republicans. Well, hold on a second, California, they're running 329 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 2: the show, and they're allowing probably one of the biggest 330 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 2: environmental calamities, a real environmental calamity, and that is the 331 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 2: dumping of raw sewage by Mexico on California beaches. EPA 332 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 2: administrator Lee Zelden was in town today on this issue 333 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 2: to call out the Mexican government for negligence, for darre 334 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 2: of duty for environmental bad behavior. Now, this is an 335 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 2: issue that's been going on for forty fifty years. So 336 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 2: when people do a press conference and beat their chest, 337 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 2: I'm not terribly impressed. Yeah, I'm happy to see that 338 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 2: they're standing up. Governor Gavin Newsom won't even do that. 339 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 2: I've asked Newsom to declare an environmental emergency about all 340 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 2: the sewage that Mexico dumps on our beaches in our bays, 341 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 2: and he won't do it. He ignores the issue, pretends 342 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 2: like that's not happening. But let me tell you, representing 343 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 2: this district, it's happening. One hundred and fifty billion gallons 344 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 2: of untreated sewage industrial waste has been dumped by Mexico 345 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 2: since October twenty eighteen into Southern California beaches and bays. 346 00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 2: They basically have inadequate wastewater infrastructure in Tijuana. Tijuana is 347 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 2: growing fast, but the Mexican government doesn't want to spend 348 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 2: money on proper wastewater infrastructure. Do you want to know 349 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 2: why they don't spend money on wastewater infrastructure in Tijuana? 350 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 2: Do you know why they don't give a dam? Because 351 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 2: the water flows north, it doesn't flow south. I guarantee 352 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 2: you that if the water flowed south, they would fix 353 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 2: their potty water problem. They wouldn't dare allow the sewage 354 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 2: to flow south and hurt Baja California. No, no, no, 355 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 2: But because the gringoes the Americans get to deal with 356 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 2: the consequences, the environmental and public health hazards, they go 357 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 2: ahead and just let it happen. One hundred and fifty 358 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 2: billion gallons of untreated sewage water being released because they 359 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 2: don't want to put the money in to their wastewater system. 360 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 2: And this has happened every single year for forty years. 361 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. The beaches in San Diego County, 362 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 2: at least one beach is closed at least half the year. 363 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 2: Usually it's Imperial Beach, sometimes it's Coronado Beach. Sometimes it's 364 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 2: even farther north than that. But they monitor water quality 365 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 2: in San Diego and they're closing the beaches half the year. 366 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 2: The Centers for Disease Control came out with a report 367 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 2: that basically said the airborne pathogens and toxic gases in 368 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 2: South San Diego County impacting Imperial Beach, Tulivista Nestor Santa 369 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 2: Sedro are at hazardous and dangerous levels. Instead of fixing 370 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 2: sewage problem, California Democrat politicians are handing out are you 371 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 2: ready for this, ten thousand air purifiers. I'm not making 372 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 2: this crap up, literally crap, I'm not making this up. 373 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 2: The Democrats don't want to go and say stop dumping 374 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 2: the sewage. Instead, they say, if you need an air purifier, 375 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 2: contact our office. And we'll give you a taxpayer funded 376 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 2: air purifier. I don't need your damn air purifier. I 377 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 2: need you to stop the sewage water from flowing from 378 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 2: your counterparts in Mexico. So EPA chief Lee Zelden comes 379 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 2: to town today. He held a press conference and he 380 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 2: basically said, this is an environmental disaster. We need to 381 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 2: clean it up. And I scratch my head, though, what 382 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 2: is this WII thing? This is None of this stuff 383 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 2: is our sewage. If this were from US toilets, US 384 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 2: households flushing the toilet and this was their wastewater, I 385 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 2: would say, hey, this is a WII issue. It's not now, 386 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 2: this is Mexican sewage. This is a they issue, not 387 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 2: a WI issue, not an US issue. It's a Theay issue. 388 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 2: What would you do with your neighbor every day, every 389 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 2: day of the year, dumped five gallons of raw sewage 390 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 2: in your pool, on your backyard, on your front doorstep. 391 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 2: What would you do? You would immediately call government and say, 392 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 2: I need a code compliance officer out here. You need 393 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 2: to give this guy a ticket. I'm gonna sue him. 394 00:25:53,119 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 2: It's ruining my property. But Democrat politics, they're sweeping this 395 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 2: under the rug oh, and the ones that are talking 396 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 2: about it are saying we need taxpayer money in the 397 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 2: United States to fund wastewater treatment in Mexico. No we don't. 398 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 2: That's as absurd as saying that we need to I 399 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 2: don't know, fun drag shows in some African country through 400 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 2: the USAID. No we don't. We don't need to take 401 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 2: our taxpayer money and give it to Mexico and say 402 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 2: would you pretty please, you know, clean up your wastewater. 403 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 2: Now you turn to your bad neighbor and say you 404 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 2: dump more crap on my lawn, and I'm coming for you. 405 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 2: There will be consequence. You hit them where it hurts. 406 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 2: Now again, I want to say, I'm always happy when 407 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 2: anyone comes to southern California to do a press conference 408 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 2: to highlight the issue. President Trump highlighted the issue last 409 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 2: week on Air Force One, said that's unacceptable problem. He 410 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 2: wants action. Yesterday, President Trump fired the Democrat appointee to 411 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 2: the International Border Infrastructure Agency. I know you're like, we 412 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 2: have an International Border Infrastructure bater Agency. Yes we do. 413 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 2: And uh the lady that was in charge of it, 414 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 2: a dual citizen, wasn't doing her job. So Trumps sactor 415 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 2: brought in a new appointee. So we're now starting to 416 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 2: see some action by Trump, but no one in the 417 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 2: media is giving Trump any credit for this. In Southern California. 418 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 2: These are wonderful steps, but not aggressive enough in my book. 419 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 2: So coming up, let me tell you what I think 420 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 2: we should do. You gotta you gotta force Mexico to 421 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 2: pay a price, and I have plan. It involves international sanctions, 422 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 2: but of the right kind. We're gonna build a toilet bowl, 423 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 2: make Mexico pay for it, and we're going to close 424 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 2: our border. Every day that one of our beaches has 425 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 2: to close because of sewage water. Coming up a plan 426 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 2: to deal with Mexico's sewage dumping in southern California beaches 427 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 2: and bays. Carl Demyo sitting in for John Coblt. 428 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI SI. 429 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 2: This is Carl Demyo sitting in for John Cobelt. We've 430 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 2: got the remainder of the week to talk about all 431 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 2: the issues, all the questions about how government has failed us, 432 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 2: the dirty little secrets. We're gonna be talking about voter 433 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 2: ID the campaign I'm leading to put an initiative on 434 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 2: the ballot in twenty twenty six to require voter ID 435 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 2: and citizenship verification in order to register to vote. If 436 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 2: you want to sign the petition, we need a million signatures, 437 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 2: go to voter idpetition dot org voter ID petition dot org. Tomorrow, 438 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about the mileage tax. Did you hear 439 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: about this? Galafonia politicians want to on top of the 440 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 2: existing sky high gas taxes and car tax now they 441 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: want to gouge again with the mileage tax. Yeah, they're 442 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 2: going to charge you six to nine cents per mile. 443 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 2: It's going to cost the average driver who does fifteen 444 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 2: thousand miles you know, a year, which is about average. 445 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 2: Some of you might drive more than that, about nine 446 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 2: hundred to twelve hundred dollars per driver per year. It's 447 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 2: just insane. We're going to talk about how the homeless 448 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 2: projects that they're building million dollars per unit home homeless 449 00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 2: projects are not about helping homeless, but rather their grift 450 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 2: and boondoggle operations to give kickbacks to political contributors. Campaign 451 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 2: contributors and the politicians are in on the action as well. 452 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 2: We're going to talk about school reform, how we get 453 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 2: the wokeness out of the classrooms. So a lot of 454 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 2: great topics. If you want me to tag an additional 455 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 2: topic on or tack an additional topic onto our list 456 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 2: for this week, use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio 457 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 2: app and let me know what you want me to address. 458 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 2: Happy to do that. We're talking about Mexico dumping sewage 459 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 2: on southern California beaches and bays half of the year. 460 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 2: Half of the year we have at least one beach 461 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 2: closed in San Diego County because Mexico dumps sewage. They've 462 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 2: dumped over one hundred and fifty billion, one hundred and 463 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 2: fifty billion gallons of untreated sewage onto southern California beaches 464 00:30:55,160 --> 00:31:01,719 Speaker 2: and bays since October twenty eighteen. That's up eighty million 465 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 2: gallons of sewage day. Again, you want to talk about 466 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 2: climate change, you know, destroying the environment. You know this 467 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 2: is a real environmental calamity and a real public health hazard. 468 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 2: So here's the plan I've got. You go to the 469 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 2: Mexican government and you say, you know, we have this treaty. 470 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 2: It's called the nineteen forty four US Mexico Water Treaty. 471 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 2: And in this treaty, we deliver fresh water to you. 472 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 2: In fact, we've been giving them four hundred and eighty 473 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 2: eight billion gallons of water a year. That's one point 474 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 2: five million acre feet of fresh water to Mexico every 475 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 2: year under the treaty. Four hundred and eighty eight billion 476 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 2: gallons of fresh water. What do they do? They turn 477 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 2: around and they give us billions tens of billions of 478 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 2: gallons of untreated sewage every year in return. So my 479 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 2: proposal is, first, we are going to take that water 480 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 2: and shut it off. So I'm gonna say, but Carl, 481 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 2: it's part of an international treaty. We made the commitment. Aha, 482 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 2: And so did they. They made a commitment. Clearly they 483 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 2: have too much water because well, they've got a whole 484 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 2: lot of waste water that they're not able to manage. 485 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 2: So if you can't what manage your wastewater, we shouldn't 486 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 2: be giving you more gallons of fresh water. We don't 487 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 2: want to give you the fresh water and then you 488 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 2: send us back your crap water. That does not a 489 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 2: good transaction. That's not a good deal. So since they're 490 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 2: not adhering to their treaty obligations, I don't think we 491 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,239 Speaker 2: should be sending them the water, but they're gonna come 492 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 2: and take it. I'd love to see that happen. But 493 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: we're willing to send that water to you if you 494 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 2: fix the sewage issue. In the meantime, we're not gonna wait. 495 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 2: We're gonna build the sewage treatment. We're just gonna go 496 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 2: ahead and build it. But you're gonna pay for it 497 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 2: if you want the water. Oh and by the way, 498 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 2: for every day that we have to shut one of 499 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 2: our beaches and bays, we're also going to shut one 500 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 2: of the border crossings so your residents can't come to 501 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 2: this country, earn their wages and take the jobs, and 502 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 2: then take the money back to Baja California every night. Look, 503 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 2: this is called consequence management. You learned it growing up. 504 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 2: You put your hand on the stove, it's hot. You'll 505 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 2: never do that again. Consequence management. So build the toilet bowl, 506 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 2: make Mexico pay for it, and put a penalty of 507 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 2: the water and the closure of the border onto the 508 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 2: table to force them to do their part. It's not 509 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 2: really that hard. I mean, cleaning wastewater is an engineering challenge. 510 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 2: It's not like it's magic. But no, we don't have 511 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 2: political willingness, not in California to do this. But I 512 00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 2: think Donald Trump has started to saber rattle on this issue. 513 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 2: I'm very pleased by it, and I like to see more. 514 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 2: But that would be my plan, and that's what we're 515 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 2: going to try. We've been offering this to Trump. A 516 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 2: lot of people are now getting on board this plan. 517 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 2: But these are the sorts of solutions that we're offering. 518 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 2: They're common sense. They're not Republican or Democrat, they're just 519 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 2: common sense. Look, I can't do this work to reform 520 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 2: California alone.
