You're listening to the 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio apps. 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 2: I want to make sure that you know that if 4 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 2: you missed one of the episodes, you can always go 5 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 2: back and listen on the iHeartRadio app through the podcasts. 6 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 2: But this week we talked about how California politicians get 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 2: all sorts of perks at your expense goodies. They're lining 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: their pockets, They do insider trading on stocks, They take 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 2: campaign funds and go on lavish trips, tens of thousands 10 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: of dollars a year in travel expenses, five star resorts 11 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: all around the world. Last year, the California legislature took 12 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: one point four million in gifts one hundred and twenty members. 13 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: That's eleven thousand and six, one hundred and sixty dollars 14 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: in free gifts per legislator. I did a self imposed 15 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: gift ban. I don't do gifts. Has anyone given you 16 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: eleven thousand, six hundred and sixty dollars in gifts in 17 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 2: the last twelve months? In San Diego, Mayor Todd Gloria 18 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: has taken more than half a million dollars in gifts 19 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: since he was sworn in in two thousand and eight. 20 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: Half a million lobbyists spend over a billion dollars per 21 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: cycle lobbying the legislature. That's more than eight million dollars 22 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 2: eight point three million dollars per legislator, or twenty seven 23 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: lobbyists per legislator. The politicians get to line up jobs, 24 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: lucrative jobs, usually lobbying jobs, for when they leave office. 25 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: They're voting on bills for the very employers that they're 26 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: trying to seek employment with. And of course they vote 27 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 2: themselves all sorts of pension and salary benefits that no 28 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: one else gets. That same Mayor Todd Gloria, he is 29 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 2: going to retire at age forty seven when his term ends. Yeah, 30 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 2: retirement age was set to zero for the politicians at 31 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 2: the local level in California. At age forty seven, he's 32 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: going to get one hundred and forty eight thousand dollars 33 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: a year, indexed for inflation. Every day thereafter. Every year, 34 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 2: he's gonna get a hundred forty eight thousand. It's going 35 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: to go up every single year indexed for inflation. It 36 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 2: should be called public enrichment, not public service, because that's 37 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: what they're doing. I introduced a bill that was entitled 38 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: Ban the Perks for Politicians. They voted it down. We 39 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: talked about doge California, the initiative I'm leading to shine 40 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: a light on the waste, fraud, and abuse and corruption 41 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 2: in the California state budget. Your taxpayer money being stolen, 42 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: money laundered to political groups, wasted and it's not just 43 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: high speed rail, it's all sorts of other wasteful programs 44 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 2: that are in there. We're going to continue our doge 45 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: California efforts, even though the Democrats threw me off the 46 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: Budget Committee after only two hearings. When we were revealing 47 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: all this stuff, they got real upset. They thought throwing 48 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: me off the Budget Committee would shut me up. No, guys, 49 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: I can do press conferences, I can go on social media. 50 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: So we continue our efforts on doge California. More bombshell 51 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: revelations are coming up. We talked about their money grab. Oh, 52 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: I know that doesn't narrow it down. Let me narrow 53 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 2: it down to the my Lidge tax tax money grab. 54 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: They want to impose a mileage tax on all drivers 55 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: on top of the highest gas tax in the country, 56 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: on top of the highest car tax in the country. 57 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: They now want a mileage tax nine cents a mile, 58 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: or twelve hundred dollars for the average driver in California, 59 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: the average driver. If this mileage tax is approved and 60 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: they're going to get it, they're going to move forward 61 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 2: on it. Okay, it's not a question of if they 62 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 2: do it, but one the average driver will be spending 63 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 2: forty five hundred dollars a year just in state taxes 64 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: to drive a car. Car tax, gas tax, mileage tax 65 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 2: forty five hundred dollars. That means you have to earn 66 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 2: like fifty five hundred dollars of earnings just to pay 67 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 2: your car tax. The insurance crisis we just talked about 68 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 2: that today. They blame it on climate change, not it's 69 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: negligence by government at state and local levels who aren't 70 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: properly maintaining the lands, imposing a higher fire risk on 71 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 2: all of us. They won't let private homeowners defend their 72 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 2: land by clearing defensive space. They allow homeless camps in 73 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: the canyons to start the fires. And of course they 74 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 2: have completely destroyed insurance in California through crazy regulations, and 75 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: they're profiting off of the rate increases. They get a 76 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 2: gross receipts tax on premiums for insurance policies, which means 77 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,559 Speaker 2: when the premium goes up by double, they get double 78 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 2: the revenue. And you wonder why they're not fixing the problem. 79 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: They're profiting off the problem. And the liberal media doesn't 80 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 2: ask the tough questions. They don't follow the money. They're 81 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: either too stupid or too disinterested. They want to cover 82 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 2: up for these politicians. Now you know why the insurance 83 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: crisis has happened and why it's going to keep getting worse. Oh, 84 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: don't get me started on homelessness. We have a homeless 85 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 2: crisis in California because we don't enforce the law. We 86 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: coddle homeless people. We give them keys to million dollars 87 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 2: per pop units, subsidized condo towers that are drug dens. 88 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 2: We give them needles to shoot up, but no treatment mandates, 89 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 2: no mental health mandates, no work requirements. They get a condo, 90 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 2: not a shelter bed. If this, if the military gets 91 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 2: to you know, is forced to sleep in bunk beds 92 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: shelter style. Why is it that a hobo, the bum 93 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 2: gets a million dollar condo tower or these motel vouchers 94 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 2: are giving out of the at sixty five hundred dollars 95 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: a month. All the prostitutes are real angry because they 96 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: can't find a motel, a motel room. They're all taken 97 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 2: up by the homeless people with all these hotel vouchers. 98 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: And why are we spending money million dollars per unit 99 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: condo towers for homeless because the developers give campaign contributions 100 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: to the politicians and the labor union workers have their 101 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,119 Speaker 2: paychecks when they're building these towers. The paychecks pay union 102 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: dues that also goes to politicians. Do you see the 103 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: money laundering scheme that they put together here? And finally, 104 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 2: yesterday we talked about their effort to ban gas cars 105 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 2: and do all these natural gas appliance bands in your home. 106 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 2: No gas stove, no gas furnace, no gas water heater. Oh, 107 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: it has nothing to do with protecting the environment. No, no, no, 108 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 2: it actually hurts the environment. All that stuff will hurt 109 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 2: the environment. Document it hurts the environment. It's bad for 110 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 2: the environment. Costume a whole bunch more money. But they're 111 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 2: doing it because they have this religious zelotry, this fanaticism, 112 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: that's the best way to describe it. They're fanatics and 113 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 2: they think, oh, natural gas is bad, Well, aren't you 114 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: the same yahoos that we're telling us thirty years ago 115 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 2: that natural gas clean natural gas buses were the way 116 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: to go. Can't even keep your own rhetoric straight. So 117 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: we've covered a lot, plus obviously the voter ID initiative 118 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: that I'm leading, which you can help out with by 119 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: going online and signing up at voter id petition dot org. 120 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: That's where you signed the petition voter id petition dot org. 121 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 2: But coming up, you've been giving me some questions and 122 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 2: raising some issues using the talk feature on the iHeartRadio app. 123 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 2: And we've got producer Ray and director Eric. They are 124 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 2: ready with the best selections. We're going to do rapid fire. 125 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 2: And I'm also going to let you know what the 126 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: cost of living penalty is in California, because we actually 127 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 2: have a group that has added up all of the regulations, 128 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: all the taxes, all the higher costs in California. I 129 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 2: want you to take a guess how much more expensive 130 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 2: does it cost to live in California than an average 131 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 2: cost across the country for a middle class family. Afore 132 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 2: you think it's like five thousand dollars more, could it 133 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: possibly be even ten thousand dollars more well coming up, 134 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: I'll tell you how much higher than even ten thousand 135 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: it is. That's all coming up. As Carl Demyo me 136 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: fills in for John Coblt. 137 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Coblt on demand from KFI Am 138 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 3: six forty. 139 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: We're talking about the the mess in California, and I've 140 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: been listening to Deborah Mark talk about Mayor Karen Bass 141 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 2: asking all LA residents to go out tomorrow and sweep 142 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 2: up the litter and the dirt in the city of 143 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 2: La and make the city look so much more beautiful. 144 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 2: But by golly, that is that's gonna be a challenge, 145 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 2: you know. Karen Bass said, yes, go out there and 146 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 2: trim some trees and clean up some litter. Do you 147 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 2: think that's all that needs to happen out here? About 148 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 2: getting some clorox bleach and a scrub brush and washing 149 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 2: down the excrement lined sidewalks? You know, what do you 150 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: do about the homeless folks just laying there the hypodermic 151 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 2: needles in the playgrounds. Has this woman even been out 152 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 2: at about in La? This is nothing more than virtue, 153 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: single line. This is her saying, I care about LA 154 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: being cleaned up. If you really cared about La being 155 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 2: cleaned up, you'd actually do your damn job as mayor. 156 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 2: You would actually prioritize clean and safe neighborhoods over trips 157 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 2: to Africa. This is all politicians, you know, pontificating and 158 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 2: show voting and pretending they actually care when they're absolutely 159 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 2: the root cause of the problem. Okay, let's get to 160 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 2: our talkback features. Some of you have been submitting questions 161 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: and raising issues that you want me to respond to. 162 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 2: I've not heard these in advance, so maybe I'll get stumped. 163 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 2: I don't know, so go ahead and fire the first 164 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 2: one off.

Yes, I can. 166 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: I You know, by the way, when people say tell 167 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 2: me about ABE five seven, seventy seven to two, and 168 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know what the numbers are, you know, 169 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: what is it? What is it about? So I don't 170 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 2: know all the bills because they introduce comes. You know, 171 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 2: like four thousand bills a year are introduced in Sacramento, 172 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 2: and a thousand of them masks actually pass and the 173 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 2: governor signs most of them, so it's like eight hundred 174 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: new laws every year. My view is we should always 175 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 2: get rid of three laws before you enact another law. 176 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 2: So anyway, Leno's law is named after Jay Leno, and 177 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 2: what it basically does is it says that classic cars 178 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: should be indexed each year. I think the last classic 179 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 2: car cut off was like the nineteen sixties in state law. 180 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 2: And look, there's a lot of classic cars that are 181 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 2: from the seventies, eighties, nineties, even and so Leno's law says, 182 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 2: instead of having a fixed date for the definition of 183 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: a classic car, and if you have a classic car 184 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 2: you get certain advantages you don't pay the car tax, 185 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 2: that we should index the date and move it forward 186 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: each year. I support Leno's law. If people want to 187 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: have a classic car, they should get a little bit 188 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 2: of a benefit. It's a hobby and it's a common 189 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 2: sense law. I actually met Jay Leno up in Sacramento 190 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 2: when he was up promoting the bill. He did a 191 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 2: press conference and it's got a lot of bipars and support, 192 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 2: so hopefully we can pass it. The Democrats don't want 193 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 2: it because they don't want to give up the tax revenue. 194 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 2: That's why they don't want to index it because when 195 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 2: you give people a tax break, well it's less money 196 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: for them. Oh. The horror that we actually let people 197 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 2: keep their own money. Oh my goodness. Okay, do you 198 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: got one more? And we'll play it, but i'll answer it. 199 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 4: On the other side, John Colebelt has talked about this 200 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 4: nuclear power and water desalination, and I'm wondering, what's the 201 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 4: realistic possibility that within the next five to ten years 202 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 4: California get nuclear power, which is much safer and water 203 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 4: desalination for the state. 204 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 2: Ah, two good topics. I'll tease it. We don't. We 205 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: don't need desalination. We don't. We don't need desalination, and 206 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: I'll tell you why. And on nuclear power, I'll give 207 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 2: you the bad news. It ain't coming back, even though 208 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: I support it. That's all coming up. As Carl Tomyo 209 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 2: fills in for John Cobelt. 210 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Coebelt on demand from KFI AM 211 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 3: six forty. 212 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 2: Carl de Mayo filling in for John Cobelt. You'll be 213 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 2: back on Monday. We're taking your questions and issues on 214 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: the talk back feature on the iHeart Radio app. And 215 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 2: let's replay that last one, and I'll give the answer. 216 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 4: John Colebelt has talked about this nuclear power and water desalination, 217 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 4: and I'm I'm wondering, what's the realistic possibility that within 218 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 4: the next five to ten years California get nuclear power, 219 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 4: which is much safer, and water desalination for the state. 220 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 2: Okay, So first, I'm going to break my answer into two. 221 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: Under California's current politics, We're not going to get another 222 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: nuclear power plant period, end of story. And we won't 223 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 2: even get a desalidation plant, even though the Democrats have 224 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 2: choked us off of all of our water and said 225 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 2: that we need water because it's scarce and it needs 226 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: to go to the fishies, which is a lie approvable lie. 227 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 2: They won't allow us to approve a desal plant because 228 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 2: they say it it chews up fish in the ocean, 229 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 2: it's bad for the environment. So politically, you're never going 230 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 2: to see those two things in California. Oh but guess what, 231 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 2: we don't need the dsal plant. We have more than 232 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: an enough water. There is no scarcity of water in California. 233 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. There are years where we have 234 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: a drought and years where we have a lot of water. 235 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 2: Too much water. What we need are two things. We 236 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: need storage, We need more reservoirs. We need storage, and 237 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 2: we also need to let the water flow. Only five 238 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 2: percent of water is consumed by human beings in the 239 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 2: state of California. That's for all of our parks, all 240 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 2: of our homes, all of our restaurants, all of our 241 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: hotels and golf courses, all of our industry. Five percent 242 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 2: of water is by humanity. About forty percent of our 243 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: water is for food agriculture. But fifty five percent of 244 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 2: our water now is wasted. It's flushed out to the 245 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 2: Pacific Ocean by mandate. That's the big change. We waste 246 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 2: more than half of our water. We are also more 247 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 2: water efficient than we've ever been. Ourgriculture in California has 248 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 2: reduced its water by twenty five percent since nineteen eighty 249 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: but increased its production of food by forty percent. They 250 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 2: should be given a Green Star, an environmental award, for 251 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: doing more with us. The same is true for human beings. 252 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 2: We are far more water efficient. In San Diego. We 253 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 2: went from one hundred and sixty gallons per capita in 254 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety to about fifty gallons per capita per day today, 255 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 2: we are more water efficient. That's great. It's not that 256 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 2: the population has grown, no, no, no, we've had a 257 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 2: higher population, but we have saved a whole lot more water. 258 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 2: We've reduced human consumption. Now, this is a man made 259 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 2: water crisis, so we don't need the water deesel plants. 260 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 2: Just let it flow and store it in years where 261 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 2: we have plenty nuclear power. I'd love to have nuclear 262 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: power because that would be a great way to have 263 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 2: zero carbon emissions, a reliable energy source, very cheap energy source. 264 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 2: But Carl, what about the nuclear meltdowns? When was the 265 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 2: last nuclear meltdown? This is a very safe industry, and 266 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 2: there's a lot more other environmental impacts that might happen 267 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 2: with other forms of energy. But again, in the political 268 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 2: system out here, it won't happen. Let's you our next talkback. 269 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 4: What are the chances of a Republican winning the governorship 270 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 4: in California in twenty twenty eight. 271 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 2: Oh, it's possible. Not in twenty twenty eight, it's going 272 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 2: to be in twenty twenty six. So the governor's not 273 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 2: up in twenty eight, it's up in twenty six first, 274 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 2: but it is possible in twenty twenty six, and this 275 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 2: is the battle I'm fighting as chairman of Reform California. 276 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 2: I am not your ordinary of republic Can people say, well, 277 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 2: you know, because you're the gay Republican whatever. There's a 278 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 2: lot of adjectives that describe me. Gay is one of them, 279 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 2: but irrelevant. My opponents have a lot of choice adjectives 280 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 2: that they use to describe me. No, I'm a fighter, 281 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 2: I'm conservative, I'm a populist. I actually think Republicans are 282 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 2: to blame as much as Democrats are to blame for 283 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 2: the sorry state of our, of our of our of California, 284 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 2: because I can blame Democrats for lousy ideas and corruption 285 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 2: and lousy uh uh management because they're in charge and 286 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 2: it's their ideas that are causing damage. But I also 287 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 2: have to blame California Republicans for doing nothing but surrendering, 288 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: going along to get along. They're as bad as the Democrats, 289 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 2: and so at Reform California, the group by lead, we 290 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 2: actually are recruiting fighters to go in the report looking 291 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 2: party to basically replace the sellout Republicans. And that's why 292 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 2: in the governor's race, we are very focused on recruiting 293 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 2: and supporting the best fighter for the job. So the 294 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 2: first thing is we have to give Californians someone who's genuine, authentic, 295 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 2: a fighter with a plan, and all of the Republicans 296 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: need to run under the same platform. Like the contract 297 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 2: with America in nineteen ninety four, we need a contract 298 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 2: with California. We've got a contract on our website, Reform 299 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 2: California dot org. It's called the Contract or Reform California. 300 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 2: So the first thing you need to do to win 301 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 2: is you need fighters who are genuine and authentic and 302 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,959 Speaker 2: have a plan. Second, we need all of you, and 303 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 2: I'm looking at you, yeah, you, We need you in 304 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 2: the fight because we're never going to compete with the 305 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 2: media or the money that the Democrats have, But we 306 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 2: can compete with a movement. Friend telling friend, neighbor telling neighbor, 307 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 2: coworker telling coworker. And the ace in the hole that 308 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: we have is the Reform California Voter Guide, which spells 309 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 2: out all the problems and then has a slate of 310 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 2: candidates who are committing to a simple program a contract 311 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 2: to solve things. We also need your help to put 312 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 2: ideas on the ballot, because when you put ideas directly 313 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: on the ballot. Voters like our ideas like they do 314 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 2: with Prop thirty six or Prop thirteen. We're going to 315 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 2: need your help to put voter idea on the ballot. 316 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 2: And so if you want to be part of this, 317 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 2: go to the website voter idpetition dot org and sign up. 318 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 2: If you want to be a volunteer to share the 319 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: voter guide, go to Reform California dot org and sign up. 320 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 2: But we need you to be part of the effort 321 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 2: because we're not gonna have the money or the media. 322 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 2: We need a movement and you are the movement. And 323 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 2: you say, well, no one, no one is going to 324 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 2: miss me. I can't be effective. I guarantee you that 325 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 2: you can influence the vote of five people in your 326 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 2: circle of friends. I guarantee your friends, your family, your neighbors. 327 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 2: Just give them the darn voter guide. A lot of 328 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 2: times people vote our way just because we give them 329 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 2: a simple, plain English voter guide that makes it all 330 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 2: easy for them. They agree with us on the issues, 331 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 2: they don't agree with the Democrats. They agree with us 332 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 2: on issues. They don't like our label, but they like 333 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 2: our ideas. That's where the nonpartisan, plain English Voter Guide 334 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 2: really moves the needle, especially on school board, city council, 335 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 2: county board, sheriffs races. And so in the twenty twenty 336 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 2: sixth election, do I believe you can get a governor? Yes, 337 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 2: I do. I think we can win a lot of seats, 338 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 2: including the governor. Fifty eight percent, sorry, forty eight percent 339 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 2: of Californians say that they are willing to vote for 340 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 2: a Republican for governor. That's the latest poll, which means 341 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 2: that there's an appetite for change, but it's going to 342 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 2: take everyone working together. And I do not have any 343 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 2: faith in the California Republican Party to get it done. 344 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 2: I would not donate to them if my last penny 345 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 2: were on the table. Nope, do not donate to them. 346 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 2: You go find a candidate that you support. You go 347 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 2: find a ballot measure that you support. You only you 348 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 2: should never give to the party. You should only give 349 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 2: to causes and candidates that you believe in, that you 350 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 2: know are credible, are doing the right stuff. Because all 351 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 2: those campaign consultants are going to profit on failure. They 352 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 2: have for twenty five years. They're going to continue to 353 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 2: do it until we cut off the money supply. All Right, 354 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: coming up. We got one more that we can probably 355 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 2: get to, maybe two plus I need to pay off 356 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: on how much more to Californians pay versus the national average. 357 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 2: We got people saying, is it five grand for a 358 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 2: middle class family? Is it ten grand? No? No, no, no, no, 359 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 2: much higher than that? And I got the number and 360 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 2: where you can check out more as to wire costs 361 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 2: are so high. 362 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A six. 363 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 2: We might fail to get to one or two more 364 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: of the talkback features, but I want to give you 365 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 2: this number. The Transparency Foundation, a nonpartisan nonprofit, did a 366 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 2: study in two thousand and twenty four and it's doing 367 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 2: it every year now going forward, where they built a 368 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 2: household budget for the typical middle class family in California. 369 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 2: They first had to figure out how much does it 370 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 2: cost to live in California for a typical middle class family. 371 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: And they did the basics, you know, rent versus mortgage, 372 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: health insurance, daycare, food, gas, car, auto insurance, all that stuff. 373 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 2: They went through every single line item of the budget. 374 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: They even had taxes, and in this report they took 375 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 2: the cost in California for those items. And these are 376 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 2: all publicly available databases, by the way, and compared it 377 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 2: to what would be the average nationwide. The average family 378 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 2: of four in California, that's middle class, are you ready for? 379 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 2: It has to earn one hundred and forty six thousand 380 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 2: dollars to be middle class one hundred and forty six 381 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 2: thousand to be middle class. Unfortunately, the average middle class 382 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 2: household in California is about one so they're already underwater. 383 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 2: And the budget, the household budget that this group calculated, 384 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 2: showed that that middle class family would still have an 385 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 2: annual deficit of twenty eight thousand, eight hundred and thirty 386 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 2: three dollars and seventy two cents. That's a deficit. That's 387 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 2: because in order to live here in California, they have 388 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 2: to pay a cost of living penalty of twenty eight 389 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 2: thousand and thirty seven dollars and twenty eight cents versus 390 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 2: what they would have to pay if they were just 391 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: paying the averages across the country, the average cost of 392 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 2: gas versus California, the average cost of healthcare versus California, 393 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 2: the average cost of food versus California in all the 394 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 2: other states versus California. When you add it all up 395 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 2: twenty eight thousand and thirty seven dollars in twenty eight cents. 396 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 2: And then you might say, well, it's the housing caral. 397 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 2: Housing is a big piece of it, no doubt. It's 398 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty one hundred and eight percent higher 399 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 2: for homeowners, forty seven percent higher than renters national average. 400 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 2: But everywhere else, every category, not a single category, were 401 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 2: things cheaper in California than the national average. Oh wait, wait, 402 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 2: there was one area that they didn't study that is 403 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 2: cheaper the street price of illegal drugs. Everything else, I'm 404 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:23,719 Speaker 2: hearing music in my ear. Everything else is completely higher. 405 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 2: And again, we need to reduce costs if you want 406 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 2: to have a better state. If California is going to 407 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 2: get fixed, the first thing you can do, the most 408 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 2: important thing you can do, cut the cost of living here. 409 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 2: The politicians are completely out of control when it comes 410 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 2: to mandates, taxes, fees, charges and whatnot. Let's go with 411 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 2: another talk back real quick and then we'll close it out. Coral. 412 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 2: Why are California state prisoners being released early? Ah? Good question. Well, 413 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: California state prisoners are being released early because California Democrat 414 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 2: politicians believe that prisoners are victims. Criminals are victims, not 415 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 2: the crime victims themselves. No, no, no, the criminals are victims. 416 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 2: They're victimized by society and racism and income inequality. We 417 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 2: failed them. No, they had the same system of everyone else. 418 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 2: But when all these other people can live by the rules, 419 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 2: play by the rules, not break the law, not kill people, 420 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 2: not steal from people, and they had the same quote 421 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 2: unquote racism or income inequality or bad luck, then maybe 422 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 2: it's the criminal making the bad decision. So there's a 423 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 2: perversion that democrats have when it comes to criminal justice, 424 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: where they literally think that they should exist to serve 425 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 2: the criminal's interest versus punish the criminal and have some 426 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 2: sort of rehabilitation. So in twenty sixteen Prop. Fifty seven 427 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 2: past with a phony title of fake title, a dishonest title. 428 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: Voters were duped into it that allowed for a quote 429 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 2: early release for good behavior. But these people don't behave well. 430 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 2: They can get in fights and break the rules and 431 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 2: still get out early. Gavin Newsom is released Are You 432 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 2: Ready for It? Ninety thousand criminals on early release since 433 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 2: he took office, ninety thousand on the streets, many of 434 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 2: them recommitting crimes and you wonder why we have a 435 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 2: crime way that does it for me. Look, if you 436 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 2: want to continue the journey, just so you know, I've 437 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 2: got my own show on YouTube every day at five o'clock. 438 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 2: We do a new episode every day at five.

The problem is that you've never 467 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 2: been given a plan, and there's never been an overall 468 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 2: statewide effort for all of us to fight together.
