DeMaio vs. Newsom on Redistricting

 John Kobylt opens the show with Assemblyman Carl DeMaio (R-CA) to take aim at Governor Newsom’s costly and “whacky” redistricting scheme—calling it a blatant power grab to gerrymander California’s political maps. DeMaio urges listeners to join the fight at reformcalifornia.org, stressing the need for voter ID and warning of the political damage this could cause before a likely November vote. John then pivots to the problem of emotion-driven news coverage, citing a case involving a man who died while fleeing a Home Depot during an ICE raid. The hour wraps with a jaw-dropping bust in San Bernardino, where authorities seized 3,500 birds bred for cockfighting—an unprecedented number even for John.
