Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Remember, we have to get a million signatures to put
the California Voter ID Initiative on the ballot in twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Can't do this alone.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I need you to go to the website voter idpetition
dot org. That's voter ID petition dot org and sign
the petition. We need everybody off the couch into the fight.
We absolutely can take this state back. People are hurting.
A lot of people are waking up. They just don't know. Okay,
(00:37):
now that I've woken up, what do I do? How
do I fight back? That's where the movement comes in
that we're leading at reform California and the voter ID
initiative is our top priority. Got to get that done
because that then lays the groundwork for fraud free and
fair elections. It restores public trust and confidence so that
people return their ballots saying, look, at least it's a
(01:00):
fair election because they have voter ID. Too many people
give gave up, and we got to get them back
into our democracy. So go to the website voter ID
Petition dot org voter idpetition dot org and sign up,
and please share it with all your friends and family,
because we've got to get those signatures using grassroots, grassroots
(01:22):
word of mouth. Okay, we're talking about the insurance crisis,
so let's review the bidding real quick. If you're just
tuning in, we have an insurance crisis. People are seeing
their insurance lost canceled. The rates are skyrocketing. People are
being priced out of their home because they can't afford insurance.
If you're lucky, your insurance is up by forty to
(01:42):
sixty percent. Unlucky, it's up by three hundred percent because
you're in the government insurance program called the Fair Plan.
Politicians profit off of higher rates or do you didn't
know that? That's why you have me. I look through
the budget, figure out how to follow the money, and
(02:02):
then tell you where it leads to. And yes, the
insurance tax is one of the biggest revenue drivers to
the state budget for the politicians to spend money, and
so they like it when rates go up because they
get a bigger share, and so their gross receipts. Insurance
tax is billions of dollars into the state budget every year.
(02:23):
So when the insurance rates double, their revenue doubles, you
understand why they haven't fixed your rates.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Because they're in on the grift. They are in on
the corruption, they are in on the malfeasance. Ah.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yes, why are we having insurance rates go up? Not
because of price gouging or claimate change, which is what
the politicians are trying to divert the attention to distract
people with Nope, it's not claimate change, it's not price gouging.
It is Number one, Biden's inflation has really hit home
(02:58):
replacement costs and that's where the insurance industry actuarial numbers
were way off. And so now they have a bunch
of losses because Biden's inflation made wood and drywall and
carpentry and electricians more expensive.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Boom.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
They have to cover up. They have to make up
for those losses. They've got to cover those losses. So
inflation happened again. I would argue that's the politician's mistakes
and problem. Second, we have had an insurance industry in
California that has been over regulated. We need to go
back to market based insurance so that insurance companies can
(03:37):
offer you a customized insurance policy, let you decide what
you should be covered under. And Third, we have not
had more fires, but we've had more severe fires because
not climate change, but because government has not maintained the
woodshed they haven't trimmed the forests, they haven't allowed private
(04:01):
trut property owners to trim defensive space. I have an
example of that from local government here in southern California
that will just blow your mind away. But let me
just set the stage here. If you own a home
and you try to clear defensive space, you're worried that
you're going to get fined by the environmental agencies, and
they're saying, well, you can't clear that space because there
(04:24):
may be spotted owls or ferry shrimp or some other
thing there, and if you do something wrong, you get
penalized and fined even though you're doing defensive space. That
the fire Marshall said was a good idea. Where do
you think the fires are started in urban settings?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
They come from homeless camps. That's not climate change.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
That is the absolute utter failure of Democrat coddling policies
of having so many homeless out there. I mean, don't
enforce the law anymore. And they're out there with their
George Foreman barbecue grills, and they like these fires. I
(05:07):
talk to fire agencies all the time in urban areas
and they say, in these canyons, a third of the
fires are coming from the homeless camps.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
One third.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Last year, there were a reported fifteen thousand plus homeless
fires homeless related fires in the state of California, fifteen
thousand all across the state. And some of them, some
(05:38):
of them go out of control. That's government's failure. But
if you go to those canyons, we're not seeing any
sort of trimming, no fire reduction, no risk management, no thinning,
no defensive space.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
It's all overgrown. Is a tinderbox.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Do you know why government doesn't trim their landscape, their trees,
their brush because the trees don't pay union dues into
the political fund to give campaign contributions to the politicians.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
It's not like the forests.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Or the.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Canyons are showing up saying hey, mister politician, can you
put some money in the budget for me. If you do,
I'll give you a campaign contribution. No, you know who
does that. A consultant on the high speed rail project
does that. A labor union boss shows up and says.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Hey, I'm with the teachers' union, and you need to
hire more administrative staff and give them salary hikes and
pay hikes and pension spikes, and then I get more
money out of the union trust for you and your
campaign got a deal.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Politicians are only looking for campaign contributions. Let me tell you.
That is the number one driver of their behavior.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
And so you don't have the canyon behind your house
that's overgrown giving a campaign contribution. That's why it's not cleared,
it's not maintained. No money in the budget for that.
And so again the bill I've offered, says Assembly Bill
five to sixty seven. Until government fixes the problem, then
(07:32):
the homeowners shouldn't be the one paying the price. The
government should pay the price. The government should provide insurance
rate rebates to every homeowner to shield them for any
increase that's above the national average on insurance price. We
should only be paying what the national average is, not
a penny more. And if government can't manage its policy
(07:56):
on fire management, or on construction costs or insurance regulations
out here, then you know what, then government ought to
pay that price from the state budget. Because you've been
benefiting politicians for years on your insurance tax. You've taken
billions of dollars, You've enjoyed the benefit. Now it's time
to give back, give us our money back. You screwed
(08:17):
up the insurance industry. You don't deserve a piece of
the pie. That's what Assembly BILLT five sixty seven said.
They killed it.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Coming up.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I'm gonna give you this example right in my hometown
of San Diego. And this is a story that appeared
in uh data is this Oh? It appeared yesterday in
the Union Tribune, San Diego Union Tribune with the headline
san Diego city is still failing to manage brush to
prevent fires. Yeah you think, but wait till you hear
(08:52):
some of the things that an auditor recommended and what
they're not doing. I mean, you're gonna read this and
you're gonna hear about this, and you're gonna be like,
what they're not doing that Again, when I tell you
it's government's fault for the fires, it's government's fault for
your insurance spikes. This is just one of many examples.
It's happening all throughout California, including in La with Karen
Bass guarantee she's not doing her job. Coming up, we'll
(09:17):
walk you through some of those negligent behaviors by your
local government on fire.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Continue to submit your questions to me or any topic
you want me to cover. Remember, I'm inside the belly
of the beast. I see all the corruption behind the scenes.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I know what's really going on on virtually any of
these issues. So ask any question, raise any issue.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Go to the iHeartRadio app, use the talkback feature and
we'll have producer Ray and director Eric get the best
ones and we'll go through them together. We're talking about
insurance and why it's so expensive in California.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Well dime version short short answer.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
The politicians they have screwed up the insurance industry so
bad and they're not going to fix it because they
profit off of higher insurance rates. They have enacted years ago,
decades ago, something called a gross receipts tax on insurance policies.
So when the insurance rate goes up, they get more money.
(10:26):
They get billions of dollars in insurance taxes. It's one
of the biggest revenue streams to the state budget.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
So when your insurance doubles.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
They smile ear to ear because they just got double
the money from you, and they're not interested in giving
you rate relief or reducing it. So I offered a
bill saying, let's not charge the insurance tax anymore. Clearly
government has screwed up insurance people are hurting. The least
politicians can do is not take their cut of the pie.
(10:56):
They're piece of the largess. Of course, the politicians said, nope,
it's our money.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
We're keeping it.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
The local government, the state government, yes, even the federal government.
But state and local government here in California have utterly
screwed up not only insurance but brush management. So now
we have all the brush building up in our canyons
with homeless camps that we don't manage anymore and don't
enforce they light fires. Those fires go out of control.
(11:32):
Big wild land fires can easily go out of control
because we don't manage our lands properly. So both state
and local government have been negligent neighbors. But they don't
care because, hey, the damage is going to be on
your property, not theirs. You know, it's just something burns
down that the government owns. They just raise your taxes.
(11:56):
You get devastated. City of San Diego is in the
middle of the wildland urban interface down here. We've had
two catastrophic fires in just the last twenty years, the
Cedar Fire and the Witch Fire. Lots of forests and
canyons that either are next to our communities or within
our communities. And an audit was done two years ago saying, hey,
(12:20):
the city's not doing good at brush management, and here
are things you should be doing.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
So let me read you what's going on.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
In the Union Tribune, one of the recommendations was to
have the city's fire department begin to monitor and inspect
brush on city owned land in high risk areas. That
was a recommendation. Now you might say, well, Carl, this
(12:50):
is twenty twenty five. They had their first major catastrophic
fire decades ago, two thousand and three, big fire two
thousand and seven, another big fire.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
You're telling me the fire department.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
In the City of San Diego doesn't monitor and inspect
brush on its own land.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
You can't get more negligent than this. They say it's
climate change. They say the insurance companies are to blame.
They tell you that if you don't clear your land,
you're gonna get fined. But then they tell you the
environmental side of the spectrum says, you can't clear your land,
so you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
(13:29):
But these people aren't even doing it themselves on their
own land that they manage. They don't even know how
bad their brush problem is, let alone reducing it. The
deputy fire chief of the City of San Diego, Tony Tosca, said,
I can't do it. I can't go out and monitor
and inspect. Why, he says, quote, the city's chief operating
(13:55):
officer needs to drop an administrative rule so that he
can tell me how I can do my work and
how I can collaborate with other departments.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Let me get this right.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
You're the deputy fire chief, so you know a little
bit about fire risk. Right, that's your job. We pay
you a massive salary to do that. You get a
big pension when you retire at age forty eight, age fifty, Okay, whatever.
So I need to have administrative regulations given to me
as to how to do my job, not only how
(14:28):
to do his job, but how to dialogue with other departments. Here,
I'll explain how you do it, mister Tosca. You pick
up the damn phone and you call. Or maybe maybe
in the middle of you playing your video games at
the firehouse, maybe you can invite some of these other
city departments over play a game on your little play
(14:51):
station and then say, you know, after we're done playing
our game, let's go ahead and talk about how we
can do inspections on city land to make sure that
we are properly maintaining fire risk reducing it.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
So he says, I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Know how to do my job. Well, you know what,
then you should quit. Let's go get someone else who
can do your job. You're in the damn fire department
and you don't know how to do fire risk assessments
on public land.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Here's another one.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Fire officials say that they need more workers to handle
the responsibility of overseeing inspections for fire risk and brush
management on city lands.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
This fire chief said the.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Department will need quote five new workers, including a newly
created position wildfire prevention specialist.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Oh wait, wait, hold on. City of San Diego has
been hit.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
With catastrophic wildland fire multiple times in the past decade,
and you don't have a wildland fire prevention specialist, and
you are a fire department. Let me guess you don't
have a fire truck either.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Huh. Five workers.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You can't find five workers out of a thousand that
can go out and do brush inspections to reduce fire risk.
He then said, no one now working in the department
has quote particular expertise in brush management.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
You can't make this crap up. This is another day
at the office.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
You are paying your property taxes and your sales taxes
all for this nonsense. This is why you have catastrophic fires.
You don't blame climate change on this. This incompetence and negligence.
That's why you have catastrophic fires. And that's why you're
paying higher insurance. And it's happening in LA. I'm telling
(16:56):
you this right now. You need to go and have
the auditors look at LA Fire apartment. It's happening in
Long Beach, is happening all in southern California. These people
have gotten away with it here after year after year.
All right, a little late check out the iHeartRadio app
talkback feature.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Coming up.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
We're going to talk to the state Senator Tony Strickland.
He's up there trying to fix some of these issues
with me. We're going to check in with him on
what his priorities are to reduce the cost of living
in California, how he can use your help.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Carl Tomyo sitting in for John Cobelt. Coming up. We're
going to talk about your topics, your questions.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app to send
me any question, any complaint, any issue, and we're going
to go through rapid fire all the things that you
want to talk about. Again, I'm inside the belly of
the beast, so I know where the bodies are buried.
We've been dozing California. I'll try to explain some things
(17:59):
that maybe frustrating you about government. Ask the question, hopefully
I'll come up with an answer for you the talkback
feature on the iHeartRadio app and we'll play some of
those submissions coming up in the three o'clock hour plus
be part of the effort to get California Voter ID
in California. The initiative requires a million signatures to put
(18:20):
it on the ballot. We can't do it without your help.
So go to the website voter idpetition dot org, voterdpetition
dot org. Sign up, and more importantly, get five of
your friends to sign up as well. Now I'm inside
the belly of the beast, and there's not a whole
lot of fighters up in Sacramento doing the right thing,
(18:40):
and so we're trying to get more of them elected.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
I do have some.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Really good fellow fighters, and one of them has just
joined our campaign as the statewide co chair of California
Voter ID. State Senator Tony Strickland, who has only been
in office for a few weeks and already he's hitting
the ground running by taking this leadership position with me
(19:05):
statewide in the California Voter I D initiative campaign. He
joins us right now. On Tony, thanks for stopping by.
So you've been up there for just a few weeks
prior to this, you were in this state Assembly for
many years, six years, and you were in the state
Senate for one term back in the early two thousands.
Coming back, what has surprised you about the difference between
(19:30):
your earlier service and.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Now how bad California is deteriorated in terms of leadership
and government and common sense. It is incredibly bad. There's
a reason why more people are leaving the state of
California today than ever before. In fact, at the first
time in history, more people are leaving than coming in
(19:53):
since the gold Rush. And that's all lack of leadership
and common sense in the basics of governments, governance, you know,
a big failure for Governor Newsom, but also the two
thirds majority. And Carl, we're gonna get this voter ID done.
I passed voter I D in Huntington Beach, as you know,
and we were just went in court, so we will
(20:15):
have voter ID in Huntington Beach. But this needs has
spread across the state of California and to make sure
we have voter integrity. But before I came on, you
talked about Dojing California. The first thing we need to
do is look as this high speed rail, the amount
of billions of dollars that are being wasted on a
project that everybody knows will never be built.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Oh yeah, and everyone knows it's never gonna be built,
even Gavin Newsom, even the contractors on the project, all
the consultants, they know it's never gonna be built because
if they actually built it, then they wouldn't have something
to builk, they wouldn't have something to grift off of.
This project has been designed to never get built, but
allow these campaign contributors, let's call it what it is,
(20:58):
campaign contributors to the governor, to California Democrats, to continue
to get billions of dollars in sweetheart contracts at taxpayer expense.
That that project is nothing but corrupt, and you know, frankly,
people should be going to jail over it, but they've
made it all legal because hey, you know, they're telling
people how long it's going to take, how much money,
(21:20):
and everyone says, well, that's what an election's for, So let's.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Talk about And the cost keeps spiraling.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
I mean, now they project one hundred and twenty eight
billion dollars and put down perspective, Carl. The last year
I was in the state Senate when this actually proposed
as a nine point nine to five billion dollar project,
the whole entire state budget was ninety eight billion dollars.
So you're talking about this project, one project, being more
expensive than the whole interlat of spending everything we did
(21:48):
in the state of California just a decade ago, and
they sold it to the people of California that it
was already going to be done at nine point nine
five billion dollars, and now it's one hundred and twenty
eight billion dollars. I mean, and you're actually right, Carl.
If any project needs to look at waste brought in abuse,
it's this bullet train the brain to nowhere that everybody
(22:09):
knows is not gonna be built. And these are valuable
dollars we're taking out of hard working California families.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Yeah, and the price tag is up to one hundred
and thirty billion as of this year, and it's just
gonna get worse. Let's talk about the Republicans. They were
in a sorry state. They weren't really fighting. They were
disorganized and not really putting up too much effort. Now
(22:35):
we have some fighters up there. I'm so thrilled that
you're up there, because when you got elected and got
sworn in just a couple of weeks ago, I'm like, oh,
finally I got a wingman over in the state Senate
that's going to be able to agitate. So it's been
wonderful having you up there. It's breadth of fresh air.
But in this upcoming election, you and I've been talking
about breaking the Democrats super majority.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
How possible is that? Explained?
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Well, I mean legally possible. In fact, the most recent
poll shows that those growing dissatisfaction and with the Democratic leadership,
and it doesn't mean they're going to turn to Republicans.
We have to show our ideas and how we govern better.
And I always talked about what we did in Huntington Beach.
We in Huntington Beach, we dropped homelessness down sixty five percent,
(23:19):
and we didn't have to spend billions of dollars that
Gyvin Newsom tried to spend, and we made our city
safe again, made crime illegal again. And so we have
an opportunity.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
And we started last cycle by passing.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Prop thirty six, the anti crime initiative that make crime
illegal again. But now I'm going to make sure I
hold the feet to the fire the legislature and the
governor that they fully fund Pop thirty six and make
public safety a top priority, which right now, as you know, Carl,
the first budget that came out, there was not one dollar,
not one dollar put in the budget. The fund top
(23:53):
thirty six and a proposition that passed. Every every county
in California vote in the firmative this initiative and got
over seventy percent of the vote. And currently the legislature
hasn't put a dollar into implementing top thirty six. So
I know you're doing it on the smily side, but
on the Senate side, I'm going to hold the feet
to the fire, to the supermajority as well as the governor,
(24:16):
and they keep voting the wrong way and they're totally
out of touch, and it gives us the opportunity to.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Pick up seats, and I know we're going to break.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
That super majority because they don't represent common sense and
they don't represent everyday, hardworking Californian families.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Now, no, they don't, and people are waking up to that.
Senator Tony Strickland, thank you so much. Wonderful working with you.
We're gonna have a lot of fun getting the California
Voter ID Initiative qualified in twenty twenty six and making
that law. Appreciate everything. What's your website for people to
learn more and help you.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Out, tonystruggling dot com? Very simple? And then Carl We're
going to do this together. I'm excited about us turning
in this state back around, making California golden again. And
I'm looking forward to working with you in the years
to come to bring common sense back to California.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
That state Senator Tony Strickland and our co chair of
the statewide campaign to make California Voter ID a reality
in our state. Coming up, we got to get more
people elected in Sacramento who are fighters. I'm going to
introduce you to one of my priority candidates, Christy Bruce Lane,
running for state Senate in the San Diego area. It's
all coming up as Carldonmo sits in for John Cobelt.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am six.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Please do go on that website voter idpetition dot org.
Voter idpetition dot org. We need signatures and to put
the voter ide initiative on the ballot. We cannot do
this without your help. So if you want a better
state government, do you want things to change in California,
be part of the rebellion. You've got to actively be
(25:57):
part of the rebellion. Go to that website. That's the
best way to do it right now voter idpetition dot org.
One of my top challenges is a candidate recruitment because
nobody wants to go to Sacramento because they're part of
a permanent minority.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
It's no fun.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
But when we can get a fighter to run for office,
we need to go all in to support them because
we do need more fighters up in Sacramento. That's why
I am proudly in support of a state Senate candidate
in San Diego County.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
This is an important seat the fortieth district.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
It will help us break the Democrats supermajority in Sacramento,
and that candidate, Christy Bruce Lane joins me on KFI. Christy,
thanks for stopping by. So why are you willing to
go inside the Sacramento swamp?
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Hey, Carl, thanks for having me on your show today. Yeah,
you know, I'm a fighter, I'm a principal fighter, and
you know, somebody's got to do it. I'm tired of
seeing our families being hurt by high taxes. Our business
is being destroyed, We're losing jobs. I have the experience
of mynd a former elected official. I'm you know, you know,
(27:05):
uh navigating state law and regulations has been a part
of my career and my experiences. I'm willing and able
to go up to the state and fight right alongside
of you to get the job done.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
So what do you think if you if you had
set your top two or three issues, what would they be?
Speaker 8 (27:23):
So top three, I'll talk about top three. Cost of
living is definitely number one. You know, securing our border
and addressing and restoring public safety. And I think we
really need to get the voter id on the ballot,
get that pass to restore election integrity. You know, a
lot of Californians have lost their faith and confidence and elections,
and we need to do that. You know, for cost
(27:43):
of living, we are getting hammered by taxes. Businesses are
getting hammered by taxes. We could talk about property tax,
payroll tax, which are killing our businesses. We have income tax,
mileage tax, and California politicians are still trying to repeal
Prop thirteen. I'll tell you California working families. You know,
(28:05):
they're already struggling with high cost of living and the
state and local politicians are making it worse by constantly
trying to raise taxes. I'll tell you, Carl I'm the
only one in this race who has not raised taxes.
We have got to go, you know, get back to
a common sense policies and Sacramento and you know, allow
(28:26):
our families and businesses to thrive again. For border security,
you know it is there's overwhelming data that shows there's
a crisis that our border and we need to secure
our border. We need to repeal the sanctuary state law.
I don't know if a lot of people know this.
Besides human trafficking, we have coming across the border, we
(28:47):
have fentanyl coming across the border. But our fentanyl overdose
has increased by eight hundred and sixty nine percent. You know,
our families deserve better. I personally have lost family members
to fentanyl overdose overdose. But we need to make our
neighborhoods safe again and our community safe again. And I
know Carl, you are a part of initiatives fighting as
(29:07):
sexually violent predators as alongside you, I worked alongside you
with that. There's a lot to address in public safety
to protect our families and communities. And I will say
coming up to Sacramento, we need to fight to repill
Prop fifty seven, you know, and that Prop fifty seven
removed law enforcement pools and allowed the release of those
(29:30):
violent criminals back on our streets. And again we have
to oppose a placement as sexually violent predators. Now I'm
endorsed by law enforcement. Lastly, voter ID, which I just
talked about briefly. We have to restore that. We have
to have, you know, faith and confidence in our elections.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
What is your website? Because we're up against a break.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
But I got to tell you, if we can get
Christy Bruce Lane elected, and knowing that Tony Stricklands already
up there, I will have two partners in the State Senate.
There's not a whole lot of people on the Republican
side I can count on to throw the ball and fight.
But if we can get Tony and Christy up there
in that chamber, it totally changed changes the dynamics. It
(30:13):
gives me partners on the other side of the capital
to work with Christy. What is your website for people
to learn more and to chip into contribution.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
So it's www.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
Christybrucelane dot com. And I would like to invite people
to our Take Back San Diego reception in town Hall
coming up on the Legacy International Center from six to
seven thirty on the twenty ninth, So reach out to
me my event. That event is on my events page.
It's Christybruce Lane dot com and help us restore California.
(30:45):
Looking forward to getting up there and representing District forty
Senate District forty.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
All right, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Christy Bruce Lane is Christy with the k Christibruce Lane
dot com. Go to the website. Help get more fighters
up in Sacramento. Coming up your issues, plas, I gotta
go through the recap. A lot of you been asking
me how many gifts are politicians getting, how much money's
been spent on lobbying, how are they getting perks. For
(31:11):
those of you who missed our Tuesday show, I'll give
you a real quick run through of the grift and
corruption that the politicians are engaging in in Sacramento behind
closed doors.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
But first check on news with Debora Mark.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast.
You can always hear the show live on KFI AM
six forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Remember, we have to get a million signatures to put
the California Voter ID Initiative on the ballot in twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Can't do this alone.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I need you to go to the website voter idpetition
dot org. That's voter ID petition dot org and sign
the petition. We need everybody off the couch into the fight.
We absolutely can take this state back. People are hurting.
A lot of people are waking up. They just don't know. Okay,
(00:37):
now that I've woken up, what do I do? How
do I fight back? That's where the movement comes in
that we're leading at reform California and the voter ID
initiative is our top priority. Got to get that done
because that then lays the groundwork for fraud free and
fair elections. It restores public trust and confidence so that
people return their ballots saying, look, at least it's a
(01:00):
fair election because they have voter ID. Too many people
give gave up, and we got to get them back
into our democracy. So go to the website voter ID
Petition dot org voter idpetition dot org and sign up,
and please share it with all your friends and family,
because we've got to get those signatures using grassroots, grassroots
(01:22):
word of mouth. Okay, we're talking about the insurance crisis,
so let's review the bidding real quick. If you're just
tuning in, we have an insurance crisis. People are seeing
their insurance lost canceled. The rates are skyrocketing. People are
being priced out of their home because they can't afford insurance.
If you're lucky, your insurance is up by forty to
(01:42):
sixty percent. Unlucky, it's up by three hundred percent because
you're in the government insurance program called the Fair Plan.
Politicians profit off of higher rates or do you didn't
know that? That's why you have me. I look through
the budget, figure out how to follow the money, and
(02:02):
then tell you where it leads to. And yes, the
insurance tax is one of the biggest revenue drivers to
the state budget for the politicians to spend money, and
so they like it when rates go up because they
get a bigger share, and so their gross receipts. Insurance
tax is billions of dollars into the state budget every year.
(02:23):
So when the insurance rates double, their revenue doubles, you
understand why they haven't fixed your rates.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Because they're in on the grift. They are in on
the corruption, they are in on the malfeasance. Ah.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yes, why are we having insurance rates go up? Not
because of price gouging or claimate change, which is what
the politicians are trying to divert the attention to distract
people with Nope, it's not claimate change, it's not price gouging.
It is Number one, Biden's inflation has really hit home
(02:58):
replacement costs and that's where the insurance industry actuarial numbers
were way off. And so now they have a bunch
of losses because Biden's inflation made wood and drywall and
carpentry and electricians more expensive.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Boom.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
They have to cover up. They have to make up
for those losses. They've got to cover those losses. So
inflation happened again. I would argue that's the politician's mistakes
and problem. Second, we have had an insurance industry in
California that has been over regulated. We need to go
back to market based insurance so that insurance companies can
(03:37):
offer you a customized insurance policy, let you decide what
you should be covered under. And Third, we have not
had more fires, but we've had more severe fires because
not climate change, but because government has not maintained the
woodshed they haven't trimmed the forests, they haven't allowed private
(04:01):
trut property owners to trim defensive space. I have an
example of that from local government here in southern California
that will just blow your mind away. But let me
just set the stage here. If you own a home
and you try to clear defensive space, you're worried that
you're going to get fined by the environmental agencies, and
they're saying, well, you can't clear that space because there
(04:24):
may be spotted owls or ferry shrimp or some other
thing there, and if you do something wrong, you get
penalized and fined even though you're doing defensive space. That
the fire Marshall said was a good idea. Where do
you think the fires are started in urban settings?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
They come from homeless camps. That's not climate change.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
That is the absolute utter failure of Democrat coddling policies
of having so many homeless out there. I mean, don't
enforce the law anymore. And they're out there with their
George Foreman barbecue grills, and they like these fires. I
(05:07):
talk to fire agencies all the time in urban areas
and they say, in these canyons, a third of the
fires are coming from the homeless camps.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
One third.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Last year, there were a reported fifteen thousand plus homeless
fires homeless related fires in the state of California, fifteen
thousand all across the state. And some of them, some
(05:38):
of them go out of control. That's government's failure. But
if you go to those canyons, we're not seeing any
sort of trimming, no fire reduction, no risk management, no thinning,
no defensive space.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
It's all overgrown. Is a tinderbox.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Do you know why government doesn't trim their landscape, their trees,
their brush because the trees don't pay union dues into
the political fund to give campaign contributions to the politicians.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
It's not like the forests.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Or the.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Canyons are showing up saying hey, mister politician, can you
put some money in the budget for me. If you do,
I'll give you a campaign contribution. No, you know who
does that. A consultant on the high speed rail project
does that. A labor union boss shows up and says.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Hey, I'm with the teachers' union, and you need to
hire more administrative staff and give them salary hikes and
pay hikes and pension spikes, and then I get more
money out of the union trust for you and your
campaign got a deal.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Politicians are only looking for campaign contributions. Let me tell you.
That is the number one driver of their behavior.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
And so you don't have the canyon behind your house
that's overgrown giving a campaign contribution. That's why it's not cleared,
it's not maintained. No money in the budget for that.
And so again the bill I've offered, says Assembly Bill
five to sixty seven. Until government fixes the problem, then
(07:32):
the homeowners shouldn't be the one paying the price. The
government should pay the price. The government should provide insurance
rate rebates to every homeowner to shield them for any
increase that's above the national average on insurance price. We
should only be paying what the national average is, not
a penny more. And if government can't manage its policy
(07:56):
on fire management, or on construction costs or insurance regulations
out here, then you know what, then government ought to
pay that price from the state budget. Because you've been
benefiting politicians for years on your insurance tax. You've taken
billions of dollars, You've enjoyed the benefit. Now it's time
to give back, give us our money back. You screwed
(08:17):
up the insurance industry. You don't deserve a piece of
the pie. That's what Assembly BILLT five sixty seven said.
They killed it.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Coming up.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I'm gonna give you this example right in my hometown
of San Diego. And this is a story that appeared
in uh data is this Oh? It appeared yesterday in
the Union Tribune, San Diego Union Tribune with the headline
san Diego city is still failing to manage brush to
prevent fires. Yeah you think, but wait till you hear
(08:52):
some of the things that an auditor recommended and what
they're not doing. I mean, you're gonna read this and
you're gonna hear about this, and you're gonna be like,
what they're not doing that Again, when I tell you
it's government's fault for the fires, it's government's fault for
your insurance spikes. This is just one of many examples.
It's happening all throughout California, including in La with Karen
Bass guarantee she's not doing her job. Coming up, we'll
(09:17):
walk you through some of those negligent behaviors by your
local government on fire.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Continue to submit your questions to me or any topic
you want me to cover. Remember, I'm inside the belly
of the beast. I see all the corruption behind the scenes.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I know what's really going on on virtually any of
these issues. So ask any question, raise any issue.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Go to the iHeartRadio app, use the talkback feature and
we'll have producer Ray and director Eric get the best
ones and we'll go through them together. We're talking about
insurance and why it's so expensive in California.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Well dime version short short answer.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
The politicians they have screwed up the insurance industry so
bad and they're not going to fix it because they
profit off of higher insurance rates. They have enacted years ago,
decades ago, something called a gross receipts tax on insurance policies.
So when the insurance rate goes up, they get more money.
(10:26):
They get billions of dollars in insurance taxes. It's one
of the biggest revenue streams to the state budget.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
So when your insurance doubles.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
They smile ear to ear because they just got double
the money from you, and they're not interested in giving
you rate relief or reducing it. So I offered a
bill saying, let's not charge the insurance tax anymore. Clearly
government has screwed up insurance people are hurting. The least
politicians can do is not take their cut of the pie.
(10:56):
They're piece of the largess. Of course, the politicians said, nope,
it's our money.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
We're keeping it.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
The local government, the state government, yes, even the federal government.
But state and local government here in California have utterly
screwed up not only insurance but brush management. So now
we have all the brush building up in our canyons
with homeless camps that we don't manage anymore and don't
enforce they light fires. Those fires go out of control.
(11:32):
Big wild land fires can easily go out of control
because we don't manage our lands properly. So both state
and local government have been negligent neighbors. But they don't
care because, hey, the damage is going to be on
your property, not theirs. You know, it's just something burns
down that the government owns. They just raise your taxes.
(11:56):
You get devastated. City of San Diego is in the
middle of the wildland urban interface down here. We've had
two catastrophic fires in just the last twenty years, the
Cedar Fire and the Witch Fire. Lots of forests and
canyons that either are next to our communities or within
our communities. And an audit was done two years ago saying, hey,
(12:20):
the city's not doing good at brush management, and here
are things you should be doing.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
So let me read you what's going on.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
In the Union Tribune, one of the recommendations was to
have the city's fire department begin to monitor and inspect
brush on city owned land in high risk areas. That
was a recommendation. Now you might say, well, Carl, this
(12:50):
is twenty twenty five. They had their first major catastrophic
fire decades ago, two thousand and three, big fire two
thousand and seven, another big fire.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
You're telling me the fire department.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
In the City of San Diego doesn't monitor and inspect
brush on its own land.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
You can't get more negligent than this. They say it's
climate change. They say the insurance companies are to blame.
They tell you that if you don't clear your land,
you're gonna get fined. But then they tell you the
environmental side of the spectrum says, you can't clear your land,
so you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
(13:29):
But these people aren't even doing it themselves on their
own land that they manage. They don't even know how
bad their brush problem is, let alone reducing it. The
deputy fire chief of the City of San Diego, Tony Tosca, said,
I can't do it. I can't go out and monitor
and inspect. Why, he says, quote, the city's chief operating
(13:55):
officer needs to drop an administrative rule so that he
can tell me how I can do my work and
how I can collaborate with other departments.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Let me get this right.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
You're the deputy fire chief, so you know a little
bit about fire risk. Right, that's your job. We pay
you a massive salary to do that. You get a
big pension when you retire at age forty eight, age fifty, Okay, whatever.
So I need to have administrative regulations given to me
as to how to do my job, not only how
(14:28):
to do his job, but how to dialogue with other departments. Here,
I'll explain how you do it, mister Tosca. You pick
up the damn phone and you call. Or maybe maybe
in the middle of you playing your video games at
the firehouse, maybe you can invite some of these other
city departments over play a game on your little play
(14:51):
station and then say, you know, after we're done playing
our game, let's go ahead and talk about how we
can do inspections on city land to make sure that
we are properly maintaining fire risk reducing it.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
So he says, I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Know how to do my job. Well, you know what,
then you should quit. Let's go get someone else who
can do your job. You're in the damn fire department
and you don't know how to do fire risk assessments
on public land.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Here's another one.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Fire officials say that they need more workers to handle
the responsibility of overseeing inspections for fire risk and brush
management on city lands.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
This fire chief said the.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Department will need quote five new workers, including a newly
created position wildfire prevention specialist.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Oh wait, wait, hold on. City of San Diego has
been hit.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
With catastrophic wildland fire multiple times in the past decade,
and you don't have a wildland fire prevention specialist, and
you are a fire department. Let me guess you don't
have a fire truck either.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Huh. Five workers.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You can't find five workers out of a thousand that
can go out and do brush inspections to reduce fire risk.
He then said, no one now working in the department
has quote particular expertise in brush management.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
You can't make this crap up. This is another day
at the office.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
You are paying your property taxes and your sales taxes
all for this nonsense. This is why you have catastrophic fires.
You don't blame climate change on this. This incompetence and negligence.
That's why you have catastrophic fires. And that's why you're
paying higher insurance. And it's happening in LA. I'm telling
(16:56):
you this right now. You need to go and have
the auditors look at LA Fire apartment. It's happening in
Long Beach, is happening all in southern California. These people
have gotten away with it here after year after year.
All right, a little late check out the iHeartRadio app
talkback feature.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Coming up.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
We're going to talk to the state Senator Tony Strickland.
He's up there trying to fix some of these issues
with me. We're going to check in with him on
what his priorities are to reduce the cost of living
in California, how he can use your help.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Carl Tomyo sitting in for John Cobelt. Coming up. We're
going to talk about your topics, your questions.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app to send
me any question, any complaint, any issue, and we're going
to go through rapid fire all the things that you
want to talk about. Again, I'm inside the belly of
the beast, so I know where the bodies are buried.
We've been dozing California. I'll try to explain some things
(17:59):
that maybe frustrating you about government. Ask the question, hopefully
I'll come up with an answer for you the talkback
feature on the iHeartRadio app and we'll play some of
those submissions coming up in the three o'clock hour plus
be part of the effort to get California Voter ID
in California. The initiative requires a million signatures to put
(18:20):
it on the ballot. We can't do it without your help.
So go to the website voter idpetition dot org, voterdpetition
dot org. Sign up, and more importantly, get five of
your friends to sign up as well. Now I'm inside
the belly of the beast, and there's not a whole
lot of fighters up in Sacramento doing the right thing,
(18:40):
and so we're trying to get more of them elected.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
I do have some.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Really good fellow fighters, and one of them has just
joined our campaign as the statewide co chair of California
Voter ID. State Senator Tony Strickland, who has only been
in office for a few weeks and already he's hitting
the ground running by taking this leadership position with me
(19:05):
statewide in the California Voter I D initiative campaign. He
joins us right now. On Tony, thanks for stopping by.
So you've been up there for just a few weeks
prior to this, you were in this state Assembly for
many years, six years, and you were in the state
Senate for one term back in the early two thousands.
Coming back, what has surprised you about the difference between
(19:30):
your earlier service and.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Now how bad California is deteriorated in terms of leadership
and government and common sense. It is incredibly bad. There's
a reason why more people are leaving the state of
California today than ever before. In fact, at the first
time in history, more people are leaving than coming in
(19:53):
since the gold Rush. And that's all lack of leadership
and common sense in the basics of governments, governance, you know,
a big failure for Governor Newsom, but also the two
thirds majority. And Carl, we're gonna get this voter ID done.
I passed voter I D in Huntington Beach, as you know,
and we were just went in court, so we will
(20:15):
have voter ID in Huntington Beach. But this needs has
spread across the state of California and to make sure
we have voter integrity. But before I came on, you
talked about Dojing California. The first thing we need to
do is look as this high speed rail, the amount
of billions of dollars that are being wasted on a
project that everybody knows will never be built.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Oh yeah, and everyone knows it's never gonna be built,
even Gavin Newsom, even the contractors on the project, all
the consultants, they know it's never gonna be built because
if they actually built it, then they wouldn't have something
to builk, they wouldn't have something to grift off of.
This project has been designed to never get built, but
allow these campaign contributors, let's call it what it is,
(20:58):
campaign contributors to the governor, to California Democrats, to continue
to get billions of dollars in sweetheart contracts at taxpayer expense.
That that project is nothing but corrupt, and you know, frankly,
people should be going to jail over it, but they've
made it all legal because hey, you know, they're telling
people how long it's going to take, how much money,
(21:20):
and everyone says, well, that's what an election's for, So let's.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Talk about And the cost keeps spiraling.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
I mean, now they project one hundred and twenty eight
billion dollars and put down perspective, Carl. The last year
I was in the state Senate when this actually proposed
as a nine point nine to five billion dollar project,
the whole entire state budget was ninety eight billion dollars.
So you're talking about this project, one project, being more
expensive than the whole interlat of spending everything we did
(21:48):
in the state of California just a decade ago, and
they sold it to the people of California that it
was already going to be done at nine point nine
five billion dollars, and now it's one hundred and twenty
eight billion dollars. I mean, and you're actually right, Carl.
If any project needs to look at waste brought in abuse,
it's this bullet train the brain to nowhere that everybody
(22:09):
knows is not gonna be built. And these are valuable
dollars we're taking out of hard working California families.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Yeah, and the price tag is up to one hundred
and thirty billion as of this year, and it's just
gonna get worse. Let's talk about the Republicans. They were
in a sorry state. They weren't really fighting. They were
disorganized and not really putting up too much effort. Now
(22:35):
we have some fighters up there. I'm so thrilled that
you're up there, because when you got elected and got
sworn in just a couple of weeks ago, I'm like, oh,
finally I got a wingman over in the state Senate
that's going to be able to agitate. So it's been
wonderful having you up there. It's breadth of fresh air.
But in this upcoming election, you and I've been talking
about breaking the Democrats super majority.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
How possible is that? Explained?
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Well, I mean legally possible. In fact, the most recent
poll shows that those growing dissatisfaction and with the Democratic leadership,
and it doesn't mean they're going to turn to Republicans.
We have to show our ideas and how we govern better.
And I always talked about what we did in Huntington Beach.
We in Huntington Beach, we dropped homelessness down sixty five percent,
(23:19):
and we didn't have to spend billions of dollars that
Gyvin Newsom tried to spend, and we made our city
safe again, made crime illegal again. And so we have
an opportunity.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
And we started last cycle by passing.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Prop thirty six, the anti crime initiative that make crime
illegal again. But now I'm going to make sure I
hold the feet to the fire the legislature and the
governor that they fully fund Pop thirty six and make
public safety a top priority, which right now, as you know, Carl,
the first budget that came out, there was not one dollar,
not one dollar put in the budget. The fund top
(23:53):
thirty six and a proposition that passed. Every every county
in California vote in the firmative this initiative and got
over seventy percent of the vote. And currently the legislature
hasn't put a dollar into implementing top thirty six. So
I know you're doing it on the smily side, but
on the Senate side, I'm going to hold the feet
to the fire, to the supermajority as well as the governor,
(24:16):
and they keep voting the wrong way and they're totally
out of touch, and it gives us the opportunity to.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Pick up seats, and I know we're going to break.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
That super majority because they don't represent common sense and
they don't represent everyday, hardworking Californian families.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Now, no, they don't, and people are waking up to that.
Senator Tony Strickland, thank you so much. Wonderful working with you.
We're gonna have a lot of fun getting the California
Voter ID Initiative qualified in twenty twenty six and making
that law. Appreciate everything. What's your website for people to
learn more and help you.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Out, tonystruggling dot com? Very simple? And then Carl We're
going to do this together. I'm excited about us turning
in this state back around, making California golden again. And
I'm looking forward to working with you in the years
to come to bring common sense back to California.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
That state Senator Tony Strickland and our co chair of
the statewide campaign to make California Voter ID a reality
in our state. Coming up, we got to get more
people elected in Sacramento who are fighters. I'm going to
introduce you to one of my priority candidates, Christy Bruce Lane,
running for state Senate in the San Diego area. It's
all coming up as Carldonmo sits in for John Cobelt.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am six.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Please do go on that website voter idpetition dot org.
Voter idpetition dot org. We need signatures and to put
the voter ide initiative on the ballot. We cannot do
this without your help. So if you want a better
state government, do you want things to change in California,
be part of the rebellion. You've got to actively be
(25:57):
part of the rebellion. Go to that website. That's the
best way to do it right now voter idpetition dot org.
One of my top challenges is a candidate recruitment because
nobody wants to go to Sacramento because they're part of
a permanent minority.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
It's no fun.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
But when we can get a fighter to run for office,
we need to go all in to support them because
we do need more fighters up in Sacramento. That's why
I am proudly in support of a state Senate candidate
in San Diego County.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
This is an important seat the fortieth district.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
It will help us break the Democrats supermajority in Sacramento,
and that candidate, Christy Bruce Lane joins me on KFI. Christy,
thanks for stopping by. So why are you willing to
go inside the Sacramento swamp?
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Hey, Carl, thanks for having me on your show today. Yeah,
you know, I'm a fighter, I'm a principal fighter, and
you know, somebody's got to do it. I'm tired of
seeing our families being hurt by high taxes. Our business
is being destroyed, We're losing jobs. I have the experience
of mynd a former elected official. I'm you know, you know,
(27:05):
uh navigating state law and regulations has been a part
of my career and my experiences. I'm willing and able
to go up to the state and fight right alongside
of you to get the job done.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
So what do you think if you if you had
set your top two or three issues, what would they be?
Speaker 8 (27:23):
So top three, I'll talk about top three. Cost of
living is definitely number one. You know, securing our border
and addressing and restoring public safety. And I think we
really need to get the voter id on the ballot,
get that pass to restore election integrity. You know, a
lot of Californians have lost their faith and confidence and elections,
and we need to do that. You know, for cost
(27:43):
of living, we are getting hammered by taxes. Businesses are
getting hammered by taxes. We could talk about property tax,
payroll tax, which are killing our businesses. We have income tax,
mileage tax, and California politicians are still trying to repeal
Prop thirteen. I'll tell you California working families. You know,
(28:05):
they're already struggling with high cost of living and the
state and local politicians are making it worse by constantly
trying to raise taxes. I'll tell you, Carl I'm the
only one in this race who has not raised taxes.
We have got to go, you know, get back to
a common sense policies and Sacramento and you know, allow
(28:26):
our families and businesses to thrive again. For border security,
you know it is there's overwhelming data that shows there's
a crisis that our border and we need to secure
our border. We need to repeal the sanctuary state law.
I don't know if a lot of people know this.
Besides human trafficking, we have coming across the border, we
(28:47):
have fentanyl coming across the border. But our fentanyl overdose
has increased by eight hundred and sixty nine percent. You know,
our families deserve better. I personally have lost family members
to fentanyl overdose overdose. But we need to make our
neighborhoods safe again and our community safe again. And I
know Carl, you are a part of initiatives fighting as
(29:07):
sexually violent predators as alongside you, I worked alongside you
with that. There's a lot to address in public safety
to protect our families and communities. And I will say
coming up to Sacramento, we need to fight to repill
Prop fifty seven, you know, and that Prop fifty seven
removed law enforcement pools and allowed the release of those
(29:30):
violent criminals back on our streets. And again we have
to oppose a placement as sexually violent predators. Now I'm
endorsed by law enforcement. Lastly, voter ID, which I just
talked about briefly. We have to restore that. We have
to have, you know, faith and confidence in our elections.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
What is your website? Because we're up against a break.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
But I got to tell you, if we can get
Christy Bruce Lane elected, and knowing that Tony Stricklands already
up there, I will have two partners in the State Senate.
There's not a whole lot of people on the Republican
side I can count on to throw the ball and fight.
But if we can get Tony and Christy up there
in that chamber, it totally changed changes the dynamics. It
(30:13):
gives me partners on the other side of the capital
to work with Christy. What is your website for people
to learn more and to chip into contribution.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
So it's www.
Speaker 8 (30:24):

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Christy Bruce Lane is Christy with the k Christibruce Lane

up in Sacramento. Coming up your issues, plas, I gotta
go through the recap. A lot of you been asking
me how many gifts are politicians getting, how much money's
been spent on lobbying, how are they getting perks. For
(31:11):
those of you who missed our Tuesday show, I'll give
you a real quick run through of the grift and
corruption that the politicians are engaging in in Sacramento behind
closed doors.
