Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can'tf I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
This is Carl Demayo filling in for John Cobelt. I
gotta say I love being back on radio. Those of
you who know may know I spent eight years hosting
my own radio show. Now I'm inside the belly the
Beast as a California State Legislature legislator. I've been in
office for a little over one hundred days. But it's
(00:28):
wonderful being back because we get to have a conversation
about what's going on in this state, the real problems
that people are facing, and the fact that our politicians
are not delivering solutions. The system is corrupt, it's broken.
I went through all the ways Sacramento, the Sacramento Swamp
(00:51):
is corrupt, serving its own interest, not your interest. During
the one o'clock hour. If you missed it, check out
the iHeartRadio app and get the one o'clock podcast when
it's posted. But then we laid out a plan because
I don't want to just get your blood pressure up. No, no, no,
that wouldn't be healthy. Before you say, okay, it's so
(01:12):
bad in California. Carl told me it's corrupt and all
these problems, the highest cost of living, this homelessness crisis,
this crime wave, the schools are are are failing our kids.
The roads are falling apart. Boy, it's really bad out here.
I got to pack my bags. I gotta flee. Nope,
you can stay, stay and fight. You just haven't had
(01:33):
a real opposition party in California in about twenty to
thirty years. We've had a uniparty, the Democrats and the
special interests and whatever few handful of Republicans we had.
With rare exception, there have been some good ones Kevin
Kylie Bill A. Saley, But with rare exception, most Republicans
(01:56):
have been well part of the problem. Collaborators. They are
willing to accept scraps. They're only interested in their own
political careers. So they go to the master and they say,
I won't rock the boat. Just don't come after me.
(02:19):
Let me stay in office. I don't present a threat
to you. And as a result, most people have given
a pope because they don't see anyone fighting. That's where
reform California comes in the movement. I'm leading, sure, I'm
a legislator. But basically the reason why I decided to
(02:39):
run for office was I wanted to go inside the
belly the beast. I knew it would really tick them off,
but I knew that getting inside that corrupt culture would
allow us to bring in a different energy to agitate
from within the system, like a virus. And what we're
(03:00):
being as a major shift amongst Republicans in Sacramento, and
we need more. We need more fighters elected to the
California State Assembly and State Senate. We need to get
good candidates running for all the state wide offices like governor.
We just heard from Steve Hilton, but we've got eight
statewide offices Attorney General, Secretary of State, Lieutenant governor, California
(03:24):
Superintendent of Schools, all of these statewide offices that I
believe are actually winnable with the right team of candidates.
So at Reform California, we have our five point plan.
Number One, make the case to voters by educating them
on how bad things are. Number two, provide solutions and
candidates they can vote for to get those solutions implemented.
Don't let any office go with a pass. Don't forfeit
(03:47):
a single office, whether it's a judge office, a school
board race, city council, mayor's race, state assembly, US Congress, governor.
Don't give a pass. Put a good candidate in every
race with a common set of reforms. Third, build a
statewide movement of grassroots activists willing to support these candidates. Fourth,
(04:14):
turn out the vote. Go to the Republican voters, the
independent voters, the Democrats who are disgruntled, and tell them
their vote matters. I'll tell you right now. The liberal media,
the broken political system, the Democrats. They love it when
people move out of the state or decide not to
return their ballot, because that's when they win. When you
(04:35):
give up hope their system wins. They don't want you
to know how powerful you really are. And you are powerful.
I'm serious. If everyone did just a little bit, this
movement can take back our state. And then fifth, raise
the resources to do the first four things. You want
(04:57):
to be part of that. Go to the website reform
California dot org. Reform California dot org. The first thing
I need you to do is sign the voter ID petition.
We need a million signatures to put voter ID on
the ballot in twenty twenty six voter ID petition dot org.
Voter ID Petition dot org can also sign it directly
(05:18):
at Reform California dot org. But we need you to
be part of this growing statewide movement. No one is
coming to save us but ourselves. There's no White Night
billionaire galloping in. Who's gonna save California not gonna happen.
It's going to be you and me, our neighbors, our
family members, our friends, co workers, people we know at church,
(05:43):
all of us coming together. Because once we start working
together under a common strategy, focusing on flipping a limited
set of seats, focusing on one's slate of candidates statewide,
all for one, one for all, that's when we absolutely
(06:07):
move the needle. And like I said, if every Republican
who voted for Donald Trump, not just Republican, let me
correct myself, every California voter who voted for Donald Trump
in the twenty twenty four election, which includes a lot
of disgruntled Democrats, a lot of Independents, a lot of
registered Republicans, if all of them show up to vote
(06:29):
in the midterm election in twenty twenty six and vote
for a reform slate, the eight statewide candidates, including our
candidate for governor and all of our candidates for state Assembly,
state Senate, Congress, school Board, Mosquito Abatement District. Every race
(06:51):
we're going to flip a whole bunch of seats, and
in fact, the governor's race becomes a coin toss fifty
to fifty. Midterm elections have a big drop off and
turnout in some areas. Turnout will be twenty percent of
registered voters will vote in the twenty twenty six election,
which means that the people who actually show up, even
(07:12):
if they are less as a percentage of registered voters,
if they are the ones that give a damn, if
they have hope, if they're motivated, and they show up
and they vote, they will flip the seats. And so
I'm on a mission. My mission in the next eighteen
months is to build this movement. But the way we're
(07:32):
going to use this movement in the twenty twenty six
election is to try to flip some statewide races, including governor.
But I'm on a mission to break the Democrats supermajority
in Sacramento. The supermajority is anytime a political party has
two thirds of the seats in the legislature, they get
(07:54):
to do whatever the hell they want without any consultation
with the minority party. So in order for us to
be relevant and then restore political balance in our state,
we need number one, to pick up seats, enough seats
to break the super majority. But number two, we need
fighters in those seats. I don't want to elect a
sellout Republican. We've had enough of those. I want to
(08:18):
elect a fighter to every seat, someone who's not willing
to just go along to get along, someone who's going
to say my job is to speak truth to power.
My job is to present the solution, not watered down.
And if that means the Democrats vote me down, so
be it. I did the right thing. I stood my ground.
(08:42):
And if you have people who are willing to speak
up in a broken system people here, it does impact.
So we need the fighters. So we're up and down
the state of California recruiting candidates. We've identified sixteen legislative
(09:03):
seats that we believe we can flip in the twenty
twenty sixth election to break the super majority. All we
need are seven seats out of sixteen. By the way,
seven out of sixteen that's less than a fifty percent
batting average. We have twenty six seats that we're targeting
when you include the House seats, but there are a
(09:25):
bunch of winnable seats and chances are in Southern California
you live in one of these seats. You can get
the full list online at Reform California dot org click
under flip target seats. That's our whole campaign of recruiting
candidates to our fighters, vetting them, endorsing them, training them,
mentoring them, supporting them. Because it's not like the Republican
(09:46):
Party of California is doing this. We are going to
build a team of fighters and of course a movement
to support them. Plus we're going to get voter idea
on the ballot in twenty twenty six if you get
to that website and share it at voteridpetition dot org
voteridpetition dot org. Now, one of the candidates who's a
(10:10):
fighter that I need to get elected, not just in
twenty twenty six. Her election is sixty three days from
today and it's in Southern California. It's in the Inland
Empire Area Assembly District sixty three, which is a seat
that Bill Is Saley vacated earlier this month when he
(10:31):
was appointed by President Trump to be the federal prosecutor
for Los Angeles in southern California. Well, now that that's
a vacant seat, we have a great candidate running to
fill that vacancy, Lake Elson or City council member Natasha Johnson.
She's a fighter, she's got my endorsement, and you need
to help her. Her election is June, I think twenty fourth,
(10:55):
sixty three days from now. Coming up, we'll hear from
her and how you can help break the Democrats supermajority
in California and restore some political balance to our state.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
It's Carl de Mayo, California State representative from San Diego
County as well as chairman of Reform California. We're talking
about how do we take back our state from the
insanity of far left politics and fixed problems? How do
(11:32):
we reform a corrupt and broken political system. Well, you
do it, one good leader at a time. Our top
priority at Reform California is to recruit, train, endorse mentor
and support reform minded candidates for office, most importantly to
break the supermajority in the state legislature so that we
(11:55):
have balance again. And we're not going to be able
to do that unless we win a special election coming
up in Inland Empire in the Riverside County area Assembly
District District sixty three, which is Corona, Norco all the
way down the fifteen Freeway to right above Murieta. That's
(12:16):
the district Good district formerly represented by Bill is Sale.
He resigned to become the special prosecutor, the US Attorney
for Southern California. And we're all backing Natasha Johnson, a
city council member from that area. She's running for state
Assembly and she joins us right now on KFI. Natasha,
(12:38):
thanks for stopping by so first and foremost, tell us
why you've lost your mind and want to come to
the corrupt swamp of Sacramento.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Well, thanks for having me, Carl. I am, I'm not insane,
I am very I'm very clear on this direction. And
I think I think the question I asked myself was
did I want to run? No? Was I asked to run? Yes?
And when someone tells you they want to versus you
want to versus you. They need you. I think that
(13:11):
that just hits a little bit different. Bill A. Salley
represented our district incredibly well, and when he called and
asked if I would continue the crazy fight in Sacramento
as a minority and continue to be a strong voice
that with our conservative values and fight for California and
(13:33):
specifically the sixty three, that's hard to say no to
because I'm tired of Sacramento getting it wrong. Our communities
are hurting, Families can't afford to live here. You know,
crime is rising. People who created this mess are making
the rules. And you know, as a woman of face,
a mom, a business owner, you can't say no. You
(13:54):
can't complain and not do something about it. So I couldn't.
I couldn't say no when I was called. And I'm
stepping up because I believe we need leaders who are
in it for the right reasons. I'm not looking for
a job. I've got plenty of those. I know that
we're not in the majority in Sacramento, but that doesn't
mean that we're not going to just stand down. As
a matter of fact, I think it means we have
(14:14):
to speak louder, We have to stand firmer, and we
have to fight harder. So I don't know that I
wanted to do this, but I know I needed to
do this, So I want to be that voice.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Well, I'm thrilled that you were willing to run. I
know it's a sacrifice. It's not going to be easy
to win the election. It's also not going to be
easy to fight for what is right up in Sacramento.
Give us one or two things, three things that you
really hope to achieve in Sacramento. What's going to be
your approach to try to bring new energy into what
(14:48):
is really a broken political system up here.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Yeah. Well, I think what makes me qualified to serve
is that I b's on the ground and serving at
the law local level gives you a lot of gives
you your training wheels, right, and the things that I've
been advocate an advocate for and very passionate about in
creating change and having impact our public safety. Basically, we
need to hold violent criminals accountable and restore respects for
(15:15):
law enforcement. I come from a law enforcement family. I
know the challenges they face on a daily basis, and
I know that they do not have the correct tools
to do their jobs. So we need to reverse some
of those decisions so that our streets are more safe
and we give law enforcement the economy to do what
they needed to do to protect our communities. So that's
(15:35):
first and foremost. Public safety will be one of my
number one priorities as well as good God. We have
to help with the cost of living, the crushing cost
of living in California. My husband and I are small
business owners, and as a counsel woman, I push backs
on different different fees and all these hikes and all
these hiking regulations. I know that in Sacramento that's not
(15:57):
an easy task. But the one thing that's very important
and that's been said to me over and over as
we have to eliminate this gas tax, and that's extremely
important to me. Lowering taxes and creating some breathing room
for working families just like mine and yours. And I
would say, you know, not last, but definitely top of
the list. The list could go on and on. Is
(16:19):
I'm a mom, so parental rights and education is important
to me. I don't want the government telling me how
to raise my children. I think parents deserve a say period.
I want to fight for school choice, greater transparency, and
truly just an education system that partners with parents, doesn't
shut them out of the conversation. So to be real,
(16:39):
I've raising or have raised three boys, and I know
firsthand what it's like to not be invited to that
conversation or be told you're not allowed. So I think
I want to fight on behalf of every parent. I've
been Sacramento as well well.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I love those three top priorities. And as you just mentioned,
there's a whole, longry list of other problems that we
have to tackle. But the reason why I'm supporting you
is that you're a fighter. Not only you write on
the issues, You're willing to speak truth to power. You're
willing to put the effort in to fight for all
of us, give voice to the voiceless. What's your website?
(17:15):
Because you your special election is going to be very difficult.
We need to make sure we win the seat and
keep it in order to break the supermajority. How can
people help by going to what website?
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Yes, thank you so much, Carl. The website is Natasha
Johnson for Assembly dot com. And today is a really
special day and I heard you mentioned it earlier in
your broadcast. Today is sixty three days until our special election,
which is June twenty fourth. But this is District sixty three,
So today we're launching very powerful I believe in the
(17:48):
power of grassroots efforts, a powerful campaign. Sixty three to
win sixty three, So sixty three dollars support to win
Assembly to six sixty and if six people do that
same and you challenge them, I know that we can
raise the money to bring awareness so that people actually
know that there is a vote coming up, a very
important vote. So sixty three to win sixty three. Natasha
(18:11):
Johnson for Assembly dot Com.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
All right, Natasha Johnson, You've got my full support. We
need to get people on that website. Natasha Johnson for
Assembly dot Com sixty three, District sixty three. Please chip
in a contribution, whatever you can do for her. Natasha
will connect with you as your campaign progresses. All right,
coming up, Mexico dumping billions of gallons of raw sewage
(18:34):
on California beaches and bays, contaminating our environment. Democrats don't
seem to be willing to address this environmental issue. We've
got a plan to fix it.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
This is Carl DeMaio filling in for John Cobelt. You
can follow our efforts at Reform California on our website
Reform California dot org. You can be part of the
effort to get voter ID qualified for the twenty twenty
sixth election by signing the petition at voter idpetition dot
(19:09):
org voter idpetition dot org. You also can check out
my daily podcast on YouTube at five o'clock every day
on Reform California, Carl Demo sitting in for John All.
This week, we're going to be talking about a bunch
of topics relating to California state local government, how crazy
it is, how corrupt it is, the problems. But if
(19:30):
there's a topic you want me to address, check out
our talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app and let me
know what your question is, what topic you want me
to address, And we are going to be using all
of that input for our shows. This week. I want
to talk about sewage. You know, in California we're all environmentalists.
I mean, when you think about California's DNA, what voters
(19:54):
all agree on, There's not a lot we agree on
but we're pretty darn proud of our environment, our beaches,
our bays, the strongest suit we have when it comes
to the environment. We want to make sure we protect
that Democrats who are running the show, because Democrats run
every level of power out here, state and local government.
(20:14):
They always say that they're the ones saving the planet
from destruction, that the environment is being destroyed by these
darn Republicans. Well, hold on a second, California, they're running
the show, and they're allowing probably one of the biggest
environmental calamities, a real environmental calamity, and that is the
(20:37):
dumping of raw sewage by Mexico on California beaches. EPA
administrator Lee Zelden was in town today on this issue
to call out the Mexican government for negligence, for darre
(21:00):
of duty for environmental bad behavior. Now, this is an
issue that's been going on for forty fifty years. So
when people do a press conference and beat their chest,
I'm not terribly impressed. Yeah, I'm happy to see that
they're standing up. Governor Gavin Newsom won't even do that.
I've asked Newsom to declare an environmental emergency about all
(21:22):
the sewage that Mexico dumps on our beaches in our bays,
and he won't do it. He ignores the issue, pretends
like that's not happening. But let me tell you, representing
this district, it's happening. One hundred and fifty billion gallons
of untreated sewage industrial waste has been dumped by Mexico
(21:48):
since October twenty eighteen into Southern California beaches and bays.
They basically have inadequate wastewater infrastructure in Tijuana. Tijuana is
growing fast, but the Mexican government doesn't want to spend
money on proper wastewater infrastructure. Do you want to know
(22:11):
why they don't spend money on wastewater infrastructure in Tijuana?
Do you know why they don't give a dam? Because
the water flows north, it doesn't flow south. I guarantee
you that if the water flowed south, they would fix
their potty water problem. They wouldn't dare allow the sewage
(22:36):
to flow south and hurt Baja California. No, no, no,
But because the gringoes the Americans get to deal with
the consequences, the environmental and public health hazards, they go
ahead and just let it happen. One hundred and fifty
billion gallons of untreated sewage water being released because they
(22:58):
don't want to put the money in to their wastewater system.
And this has happened every single year for forty years.
I'll tell you this. The beaches in San Diego County,
at least one beach is closed at least half the year.
(23:21):
Usually it's Imperial Beach, sometimes it's Coronado Beach. Sometimes it's
even farther north than that. But they monitor water quality
in San Diego and they're closing the beaches half the year.
The Centers for Disease Control came out with a report
(23:41):
that basically said the airborne pathogens and toxic gases in
South San Diego County impacting Imperial Beach, Tulivista Nestor Santa
Sedro are at hazardous and dangerous levels. Instead of fixing
sewage problem, California Democrat politicians are handing out are you
(24:05):
ready for this, ten thousand air purifiers. I'm not making
this crap up, literally crap, I'm not making this up.
The Democrats don't want to go and say stop dumping
the sewage. Instead, they say, if you need an air purifier,
contact our office. And we'll give you a taxpayer funded
(24:25):
air purifier. I don't need your damn air purifier. I
need you to stop the sewage water from flowing from
your counterparts in Mexico. So EPA chief Lee Zelden comes
to town today. He held a press conference and he
(24:46):
basically said, this is an environmental disaster. We need to
clean it up. And I scratch my head, though, what
is this WII thing? This is None of this stuff
is our sewage. If this were from US toilets, US
(25:08):
households flushing the toilet and this was their wastewater, I
would say, hey, this is a WII issue. It's not now,
this is Mexican sewage. This is a they issue, not
a WI issue, not an US issue. It's a Theay issue.
What would you do with your neighbor every day, every
(25:32):
day of the year, dumped five gallons of raw sewage
in your pool, on your backyard, on your front doorstep.
What would you do? You would immediately call government and say,
I need a code compliance officer out here. You need
to give this guy a ticket. I'm gonna sue him.
(25:53):
It's ruining my property. But Democrat politics, they're sweeping this
under the rug oh, and the ones that are talking
about it are saying we need taxpayer money in the
United States to fund wastewater treatment in Mexico. No we don't.
(26:15):
That's as absurd as saying that we need to I
don't know, fun drag shows in some African country through
the USAID. No we don't. We don't need to take
our taxpayer money and give it to Mexico and say
would you pretty please, you know, clean up your wastewater.
(26:35):
Now you turn to your bad neighbor and say you
dump more crap on my lawn, and I'm coming for you.
There will be consequence. You hit them where it hurts.
Now again, I want to say, I'm always happy when
anyone comes to southern California to do a press conference
to highlight the issue. President Trump highlighted the issue last
(26:56):
week on Air Force One, said that's unacceptable problem. He
wants action. Yesterday, President Trump fired the Democrat appointee to
the International Border Infrastructure Agency. I know you're like, we
(27:16):
have an International Border Infrastructure bater Agency. Yes we do.
And uh the lady that was in charge of it,
a dual citizen, wasn't doing her job. So Trumps sactor
brought in a new appointee. So we're now starting to
see some action by Trump, but no one in the
media is giving Trump any credit for this. In Southern California.
(27:40):
These are wonderful steps, but not aggressive enough in my book.
So coming up, let me tell you what I think
we should do. You gotta you gotta force Mexico to
pay a price, and I have plan. It involves international sanctions,
(28:05):
but of the right kind. We're gonna build a toilet bowl,
make Mexico pay for it, and we're going to close
our border. Every day that one of our beaches has
to close because of sewage water. Coming up a plan
to deal with Mexico's sewage dumping in southern California beaches
(28:27):
and bays. Carl Demyo sitting in for John Coblt.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI SI.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
This is Carl Demyo sitting in for John Cobelt. We've
got the remainder of the week to talk about all
the issues, all the questions about how government has failed us,
the dirty little secrets. We're gonna be talking about voter
ID the campaign I'm leading to put an initiative on
the ballot in twenty twenty six to require voter ID
(28:58):
and citizenship verification in order to register to vote. If
you want to sign the petition, we need a million signatures,
go to voter idpetition dot org voter ID petition dot org. Tomorrow,
we're gonna talk about the mileage tax. Did you hear
about this? Galafonia politicians want to on top of the
existing sky high gas taxes and car tax now they
(29:23):
want to gouge again with the mileage tax. Yeah, they're
going to charge you six to nine cents per mile.
It's going to cost the average driver who does fifteen
thousand miles you know, a year, which is about average.
Some of you might drive more than that, about nine
hundred to twelve hundred dollars per driver per year. It's
(29:48):
just insane. We're going to talk about how the homeless
projects that they're building million dollars per unit home homeless
projects are not about helping homeless, but rather their grift
and boondoggle operations to give kickbacks to political contributors. Campaign
contributors and the politicians are in on the action as well.
(30:11):
We're going to talk about school reform, how we get
the wokeness out of the classrooms. So a lot of
great topics. If you want me to tag an additional
topic on or tack an additional topic onto our list
for this week, use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio
app and let me know what you want me to address.
Happy to do that. We're talking about Mexico dumping sewage
(30:34):
on southern California beaches and bays half of the year.
Half of the year we have at least one beach
closed in San Diego County because Mexico dumps sewage. They've
dumped over one hundred and fifty billion, one hundred and
fifty billion gallons of untreated sewage onto southern California beaches
(30:55):
and bays since October twenty eighteen. That's up eighty million
gallons of sewage day. Again, you want to talk about
climate change, you know, destroying the environment. You know this
is a real environmental calamity and a real public health hazard.
(31:16):
So here's the plan I've got. You go to the
Mexican government and you say, you know, we have this treaty.
It's called the nineteen forty four US Mexico Water Treaty.
And in this treaty, we deliver fresh water to you.
In fact, we've been giving them four hundred and eighty
(31:38):
eight billion gallons of water a year. That's one point
five million acre feet of fresh water to Mexico every
year under the treaty. Four hundred and eighty eight billion
gallons of fresh water. What do they do? They turn
around and they give us billions tens of billions of
gallons of untreated sewage every year in return. So my
(32:02):
proposal is, first, we are going to take that water
and shut it off. So I'm gonna say, but Carl,
it's part of an international treaty. We made the commitment. Aha,
And so did they. They made a commitment. Clearly they
have too much water because well, they've got a whole
lot of waste water that they're not able to manage.
(32:23):
So if you can't what manage your wastewater, we shouldn't
be giving you more gallons of fresh water. We don't
want to give you the fresh water and then you
send us back your crap water. That does not a
good transaction. That's not a good deal. So since they're
not adhering to their treaty obligations, I don't think we
should be sending them the water, but they're gonna come
and take it. I'd love to see that happen. But
(32:46):
we're willing to send that water to you if you
fix the sewage issue. In the meantime, we're not gonna wait.
We're gonna build the sewage treatment. We're just gonna go
ahead and build it. But you're gonna pay for it
if you want the water. Oh and by the way,
for every day that we have to shut one of
our beaches and bays, we're also going to shut one
(33:07):
of the border crossings so your residents can't come to
this country, earn their wages and take the jobs, and
then take the money back to Baja California every night. Look,
this is called consequence management. You learned it growing up.
You put your hand on the stove, it's hot. You'll
(33:28):
never do that again. Consequence management. So build the toilet bowl,
make Mexico pay for it, and put a penalty of
the water and the closure of the border onto the
table to force them to do their part. It's not
really that hard. I mean, cleaning wastewater is an engineering challenge.
(33:49):
It's not like it's magic. But no, we don't have
political willingness, not in California to do this. But I
think Donald Trump has started to saber rattle on this issue.
I'm very pleased by it, and I like to see more.
But that would be my plan, and that's what we're
going to try. We've been offering this to Trump. A
lot of people are now getting on board this plan.
(34:12):
But these are the sorts of solutions that we're offering.
They're common sense. They're not Republican or Democrat, they're just
common sense. Look, I can't do this work to reform
California alone. We're building a movement here and I'm inviting
you to be part of it. So check out the

And I'll be sitting in all this week, so give
(34:52):
me your ideas for topics you want me to talk
about using the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Carl Demayo,
Hope you enjoy today's shows filling in for John Coblt,
Let's check out news with Michael Krozer in the twenty
four hour Newsroom KFI.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
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'tf I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
This is Carl Demayo filling in for John Cobelt. I
gotta say I love being back on radio. Those of
you who know may know I spent eight years hosting
my own radio show. Now I'm inside the belly the
Beast as a California State Legislature legislator. I've been in
office for a little over one hundred days. But it's
(00:28):
wonderful being back because we get to have a conversation
about what's going on in this state, the real problems
that people are facing, and the fact that our politicians
are not delivering solutions. The system is corrupt, it's broken.
I went through all the ways Sacramento, the Sacramento Swamp
(00:51):
is corrupt, serving its own interest, not your interest. During
the one o'clock hour. If you missed it, check out
the iHeartRadio app and get the one o'clock podcast when
it's posted. But then we laid out a plan because
I don't want to just get your blood pressure up. No, no, no,
that wouldn't be healthy. Before you say, okay, it's so
(01:12):
bad in California. Carl told me it's corrupt and all
these problems, the highest cost of living, this homelessness crisis,
this crime wave, the schools are are are failing our kids.
The roads are falling apart. Boy, it's really bad out here.
I got to pack my bags. I gotta flee. Nope,
you can stay, stay and fight. You just haven't had
(01:33):
a real opposition party in California in about twenty to
thirty years. We've had a uniparty, the Democrats and the
special interests and whatever few handful of Republicans we had.
With rare exception, there have been some good ones Kevin
Kylie Bill A. Saley, But with rare exception, most Republicans
(01:56):
have been well part of the problem. Collaborators. They are
willing to accept scraps. They're only interested in their own
political careers. So they go to the master and they say,
I won't rock the boat. Just don't come after me.
(02:19):
Let me stay in office. I don't present a threat
to you. And as a result, most people have given
a pope because they don't see anyone fighting. That's where
reform California comes in the movement. I'm leading, sure, I'm
a legislator. But basically the reason why I decided to
(02:39):
run for office was I wanted to go inside the
belly the beast. I knew it would really tick them off,
but I knew that getting inside that corrupt culture would
allow us to bring in a different energy to agitate
from within the system, like a virus. And what we're
(03:00):
being as a major shift amongst Republicans in Sacramento, and
we need more. We need more fighters elected to the
California State Assembly and State Senate. We need to get
good candidates running for all the state wide offices like governor.
We just heard from Steve Hilton, but we've got eight
statewide offices Attorney General, Secretary of State, Lieutenant governor, California
(03:24):
Superintendent of Schools, all of these statewide offices that I
believe are actually winnable with the right team of candidates.
So at Reform California, we have our five point plan.
Number One, make the case to voters by educating them
on how bad things are. Number two, provide solutions and
candidates they can vote for to get those solutions implemented.
Don't let any office go with a pass. Don't forfeit
(03:47):
a single office, whether it's a judge office, a school
board race, city council, mayor's race, state assembly, US Congress, governor.
Don't give a pass. Put a good candidate in every
race with a common set of reforms. Third, build a
statewide movement of grassroots activists willing to support these candidates. Fourth,
(04:14):
turn out the vote. Go to the Republican voters, the
independent voters, the Democrats who are disgruntled, and tell them
their vote matters. I'll tell you right now. The liberal media,
the broken political system, the Democrats. They love it when
people move out of the state or decide not to
return their ballot, because that's when they win. When you
(04:35):
give up hope their system wins. They don't want you
to know how powerful you really are. And you are powerful.
I'm serious. If everyone did just a little bit, this
movement can take back our state. And then fifth, raise
the resources to do the first four things. You want
(04:57):
to be part of that. Go to the website reform
California dot org. Reform California dot org. The first thing
I need you to do is sign the voter ID petition.
We need a million signatures to put voter ID on
the ballot in twenty twenty six voter ID petition dot org.
Voter ID Petition dot org can also sign it directly
(05:18):
at Reform California dot org. But we need you to
be part of this growing statewide movement. No one is
coming to save us but ourselves. There's no White Night
billionaire galloping in. Who's gonna save California not gonna happen.
It's going to be you and me, our neighbors, our
family members, our friends, co workers, people we know at church,
(05:43):
all of us coming together. Because once we start working
together under a common strategy, focusing on flipping a limited
set of seats, focusing on one's slate of candidates statewide,
all for one, one for all, that's when we absolutely
(06:07):
move the needle. And like I said, if every Republican
who voted for Donald Trump, not just Republican, let me
correct myself, every California voter who voted for Donald Trump
in the twenty twenty four election, which includes a lot
of disgruntled Democrats, a lot of Independents, a lot of
registered Republicans, if all of them show up to vote
(06:29):
in the midterm election in twenty twenty six and vote
for a reform slate, the eight statewide candidates, including our
candidate for governor and all of our candidates for state Assembly,
state Senate, Congress, school Board, Mosquito Abatement District. Every race
(06:51):
we're going to flip a whole bunch of seats, and
in fact, the governor's race becomes a coin toss fifty
to fifty. Midterm elections have a big drop off and
turnout in some areas. Turnout will be twenty percent of
registered voters will vote in the twenty twenty six election,
which means that the people who actually show up, even
(07:12):
if they are less as a percentage of registered voters,
if they are the ones that give a damn, if
they have hope, if they're motivated, and they show up
and they vote, they will flip the seats. And so
I'm on a mission. My mission in the next eighteen
months is to build this movement. But the way we're
(07:32):
going to use this movement in the twenty twenty six
election is to try to flip some statewide races, including governor.
But I'm on a mission to break the Democrats supermajority
in Sacramento. The supermajority is anytime a political party has
two thirds of the seats in the legislature, they get
(07:54):
to do whatever the hell they want without any consultation
with the minority party. So in order for us to
be relevant and then restore political balance in our state,
we need number one, to pick up seats, enough seats
to break the super majority. But number two, we need
fighters in those seats. I don't want to elect a
sellout Republican. We've had enough of those. I want to
(08:18):
elect a fighter to every seat, someone who's not willing
to just go along to get along, someone who's going
to say my job is to speak truth to power.
My job is to present the solution, not watered down.
And if that means the Democrats vote me down, so
be it. I did the right thing. I stood my ground.
(08:42):
And if you have people who are willing to speak
up in a broken system people here, it does impact.
So we need the fighters. So we're up and down
the state of California recruiting candidates. We've identified sixteen legislative
(09:03):
seats that we believe we can flip in the twenty
twenty sixth election to break the super majority. All we
need are seven seats out of sixteen. By the way,
seven out of sixteen that's less than a fifty percent
batting average. We have twenty six seats that we're targeting
when you include the House seats, but there are a
(09:25):
bunch of winnable seats and chances are in Southern California
you live in one of these seats. You can get
the full list online at Reform California dot org click
under flip target seats. That's our whole campaign of recruiting
candidates to our fighters, vetting them, endorsing them, training them,
mentoring them, supporting them. Because it's not like the Republican
(09:46):
Party of California is doing this. We are going to
build a team of fighters and of course a movement
to support them. Plus we're going to get voter idea
on the ballot in twenty twenty six if you get
to that website and share it at voteridpetition dot org
voteridpetition dot org. Now, one of the candidates who's a
(10:10):
fighter that I need to get elected, not just in
twenty twenty six. Her election is sixty three days from
today and it's in Southern California. It's in the Inland
Empire Area Assembly District sixty three, which is a seat
that Bill Is Saley vacated earlier this month when he
(10:31):
was appointed by President Trump to be the federal prosecutor
for Los Angeles in southern California. Well, now that that's
a vacant seat, we have a great candidate running to
fill that vacancy, Lake Elson or City council member Natasha Johnson.
She's a fighter, she's got my endorsement, and you need
to help her. Her election is June, I think twenty fourth,
(10:55):
sixty three days from now. Coming up, we'll hear from
her and how you can help break the Democrats supermajority
in California and restore some political balance to our state.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
It's Carl de Mayo, California State representative from San Diego
County as well as chairman of Reform California. We're talking
about how do we take back our state from the
insanity of far left politics and fixed problems? How do
(11:32):
we reform a corrupt and broken political system. Well, you
do it, one good leader at a time. Our top
priority at Reform California is to recruit, train, endorse mentor
and support reform minded candidates for office, most importantly to
break the supermajority in the state legislature so that we
(11:55):
have balance again. And we're not going to be able
to do that unless we win a special election coming
up in Inland Empire in the Riverside County area Assembly
District District sixty three, which is Corona, Norco all the
way down the fifteen Freeway to right above Murieta. That's
(12:16):
the district Good district formerly represented by Bill is Sale.
He resigned to become the special prosecutor, the US Attorney
for Southern California. And we're all backing Natasha Johnson, a
city council member from that area. She's running for state
Assembly and she joins us right now on KFI. Natasha,
(12:38):
thanks for stopping by so first and foremost, tell us
why you've lost your mind and want to come to
the corrupt swamp of Sacramento.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Well, thanks for having me, Carl. I am, I'm not insane,
I am very I'm very clear on this direction. And
I think I think the question I asked myself was
did I want to run? No? Was I asked to run? Yes?
And when someone tells you they want to versus you
want to versus you. They need you. I think that
(13:11):
that just hits a little bit different. Bill A. Salley
represented our district incredibly well, and when he called and
asked if I would continue the crazy fight in Sacramento
as a minority and continue to be a strong voice
that with our conservative values and fight for California and
(13:33):
specifically the sixty three, that's hard to say no to
because I'm tired of Sacramento getting it wrong. Our communities
are hurting, Families can't afford to live here. You know,
crime is rising. People who created this mess are making
the rules. And you know, as a woman of face,
a mom, a business owner, you can't say no. You
(13:54):
can't complain and not do something about it. So I couldn't.
I couldn't say no when I was called. And I'm
stepping up because I believe we need leaders who are
in it for the right reasons. I'm not looking for
a job. I've got plenty of those. I know that
we're not in the majority in Sacramento, but that doesn't
mean that we're not going to just stand down. As
a matter of fact, I think it means we have
(14:14):
to speak louder, We have to stand firmer, and we
have to fight harder. So I don't know that I
wanted to do this, but I know I needed to
do this, So I want to be that voice.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Well, I'm thrilled that you were willing to run. I
know it's a sacrifice. It's not going to be easy
to win the election. It's also not going to be
easy to fight for what is right up in Sacramento.
Give us one or two things, three things that you
really hope to achieve in Sacramento. What's going to be
your approach to try to bring new energy into what
(14:48):
is really a broken political system up here.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Yeah. Well, I think what makes me qualified to serve
is that I b's on the ground and serving at
the law local level gives you a lot of gives
you your training wheels, right, and the things that I've
been advocate an advocate for and very passionate about in
creating change and having impact our public safety. Basically, we
need to hold violent criminals accountable and restore respects for
(15:15):
law enforcement. I come from a law enforcement family. I
know the challenges they face on a daily basis, and
I know that they do not have the correct tools
to do their jobs. So we need to reverse some
of those decisions so that our streets are more safe
and we give law enforcement the economy to do what
they needed to do to protect our communities. So that's
(15:35):
first and foremost. Public safety will be one of my
number one priorities as well as good God. We have
to help with the cost of living, the crushing cost
of living in California. My husband and I are small
business owners, and as a counsel woman, I push backs
on different different fees and all these hikes and all
these hiking regulations. I know that in Sacramento that's not
(15:57):
an easy task. But the one thing that's very important
and that's been said to me over and over as
we have to eliminate this gas tax, and that's extremely
important to me. Lowering taxes and creating some breathing room
for working families just like mine and yours. And I
would say, you know, not last, but definitely top of
the list. The list could go on and on. Is
(16:19):
I'm a mom, so parental rights and education is important
to me. I don't want the government telling me how
to raise my children. I think parents deserve a say period.
I want to fight for school choice, greater transparency, and
truly just an education system that partners with parents, doesn't
shut them out of the conversation. So to be real,
(16:39):
I've raising or have raised three boys, and I know
firsthand what it's like to not be invited to that
conversation or be told you're not allowed. So I think
I want to fight on behalf of every parent. I've
been Sacramento as well well.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I love those three top priorities. And as you just mentioned,
there's a whole, longry list of other problems that we
have to tackle. But the reason why I'm supporting you
is that you're a fighter. Not only you write on
the issues, You're willing to speak truth to power. You're
willing to put the effort in to fight for all
of us, give voice to the voiceless. What's your website?
(17:15):
Because you your special election is going to be very difficult.
We need to make sure we win the seat and
keep it in order to break the supermajority. How can
people help by going to what website?
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Yes, thank you so much, Carl. The website is Natasha
Johnson for Assembly dot com. And today is a really
special day and I heard you mentioned it earlier in
your broadcast. Today is sixty three days until our special election,
which is June twenty fourth. But this is District sixty three,
So today we're launching very powerful I believe in the
(17:48):
power of grassroots efforts, a powerful campaign. Sixty three to
win sixty three, So sixty three dollars support to win
Assembly to six sixty and if six people do that
same and you challenge them, I know that we can
raise the money to bring awareness so that people actually
know that there is a vote coming up, a very
important vote. So sixty three to win sixty three. Natasha
(18:11):
Johnson for Assembly dot Com.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
All right, Natasha Johnson, You've got my full support. We
need to get people on that website. Natasha Johnson for
Assembly dot Com sixty three, District sixty three. Please chip
in a contribution, whatever you can do for her. Natasha
will connect with you as your campaign progresses. All right,
coming up, Mexico dumping billions of gallons of raw sewage
(18:34):
on California beaches and bays, contaminating our environment. Democrats don't
seem to be willing to address this environmental issue. We've
got a plan to fix it.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
This is Carl DeMaio filling in for John Cobelt. You
can follow our efforts at Reform California on our website
Reform California dot org. You can be part of the
effort to get voter ID qualified for the twenty twenty
sixth election by signing the petition at voter idpetition dot
(19:09):
org voter idpetition dot org. You also can check out
my daily podcast on YouTube at five o'clock every day
on Reform California, Carl Demo sitting in for John All.
This week, we're going to be talking about a bunch
of topics relating to California state local government, how crazy
it is, how corrupt it is, the problems. But if
(19:30):
there's a topic you want me to address, check out
our talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app and let me
know what your question is, what topic you want me
to address, And we are going to be using all
of that input for our shows. This week. I want
to talk about sewage. You know, in California we're all environmentalists.
I mean, when you think about California's DNA, what voters
(19:54):
all agree on, There's not a lot we agree on
but we're pretty darn proud of our environment, our beaches,
our bays, the strongest suit we have when it comes
to the environment. We want to make sure we protect
that Democrats who are running the show, because Democrats run
every level of power out here, state and local government.
(20:14):
They always say that they're the ones saving the planet
from destruction, that the environment is being destroyed by these
darn Republicans. Well, hold on a second, California, they're running
the show, and they're allowing probably one of the biggest
environmental calamities, a real environmental calamity, and that is the
(20:37):
dumping of raw sewage by Mexico on California beaches. EPA
administrator Lee Zelden was in town today on this issue
to call out the Mexican government for negligence, for darre
(21:00):
of duty for environmental bad behavior. Now, this is an
issue that's been going on for forty fifty years. So
when people do a press conference and beat their chest,
I'm not terribly impressed. Yeah, I'm happy to see that
they're standing up. Governor Gavin Newsom won't even do that.
I've asked Newsom to declare an environmental emergency about all
(21:22):
the sewage that Mexico dumps on our beaches in our bays,
and he won't do it. He ignores the issue, pretends
like that's not happening. But let me tell you, representing
this district, it's happening. One hundred and fifty billion gallons
of untreated sewage industrial waste has been dumped by Mexico
(21:48):
since October twenty eighteen into Southern California beaches and bays.
They basically have inadequate wastewater infrastructure in Tijuana. Tijuana is
growing fast, but the Mexican government doesn't want to spend
money on proper wastewater infrastructure. Do you want to know
(22:11):
why they don't spend money on wastewater infrastructure in Tijuana?
Do you know why they don't give a dam? Because
the water flows north, it doesn't flow south. I guarantee
you that if the water flowed south, they would fix
their potty water problem. They wouldn't dare allow the sewage
(22:36):
to flow south and hurt Baja California. No, no, no,
But because the gringoes the Americans get to deal with
the consequences, the environmental and public health hazards, they go
ahead and just let it happen. One hundred and fifty
billion gallons of untreated sewage water being released because they
(22:58):
don't want to put the money in to their wastewater system.
And this has happened every single year for forty years.
I'll tell you this. The beaches in San Diego County,
at least one beach is closed at least half the year.
(23:21):
Usually it's Imperial Beach, sometimes it's Coronado Beach. Sometimes it's
even farther north than that. But they monitor water quality
in San Diego and they're closing the beaches half the year.
The Centers for Disease Control came out with a report
(23:41):
that basically said the airborne pathogens and toxic gases in
South San Diego County impacting Imperial Beach, Tulivista Nestor Santa
Sedro are at hazardous and dangerous levels. Instead of fixing
sewage problem, California Democrat politicians are handing out are you
(24:05):
ready for this, ten thousand air purifiers. I'm not making
this crap up, literally crap, I'm not making this up.
The Democrats don't want to go and say stop dumping
the sewage. Instead, they say, if you need an air purifier,
contact our office. And we'll give you a taxpayer funded
(24:25):
air purifier. I don't need your damn air purifier. I
need you to stop the sewage water from flowing from
your counterparts in Mexico. So EPA chief Lee Zelden comes
to town today. He held a press conference and he
(24:46):
basically said, this is an environmental disaster. We need to
clean it up. And I scratch my head, though, what
is this WII thing? This is None of this stuff
is our sewage. If this were from US toilets, US
(25:08):
households flushing the toilet and this was their wastewater, I
would say, hey, this is a WII issue. It's not now,
this is Mexican sewage. This is a they issue, not
a WI issue, not an US issue. It's a Theay issue.
What would you do with your neighbor every day, every
(25:32):
day of the year, dumped five gallons of raw sewage
in your pool, on your backyard, on your front doorstep.
What would you do? You would immediately call government and say,
I need a code compliance officer out here. You need
to give this guy a ticket. I'm gonna sue him.
(25:53):
It's ruining my property. But Democrat politics, they're sweeping this
under the rug oh, and the ones that are talking
about it are saying we need taxpayer money in the
United States to fund wastewater treatment in Mexico. No we don't.
(26:15):
That's as absurd as saying that we need to I
don't know, fun drag shows in some African country through
the USAID. No we don't. We don't need to take
our taxpayer money and give it to Mexico and say
would you pretty please, you know, clean up your wastewater.
(26:35):
Now you turn to your bad neighbor and say you
dump more crap on my lawn, and I'm coming for you.
There will be consequence. You hit them where it hurts.
Now again, I want to say, I'm always happy when
anyone comes to southern California to do a press conference
to highlight the issue. President Trump highlighted the issue last
(26:56):
week on Air Force One, said that's unacceptable problem. He
wants action. Yesterday, President Trump fired the Democrat appointee to
the International Border Infrastructure Agency. I know you're like, we
(27:16):
have an International Border Infrastructure bater Agency. Yes we do.
And uh the lady that was in charge of it,
a dual citizen, wasn't doing her job. So Trumps sactor
brought in a new appointee. So we're now starting to
see some action by Trump, but no one in the
media is giving Trump any credit for this. In Southern California.
(27:40):
These are wonderful steps, but not aggressive enough in my book.
So coming up, let me tell you what I think
we should do. You gotta you gotta force Mexico to
pay a price, and I have plan. It involves international sanctions,
(28:05):
but of the right kind. We're gonna build a toilet bowl,
make Mexico pay for it, and we're going to close
our border. Every day that one of our beaches has
to close because of sewage water. Coming up a plan
to deal with Mexico's sewage dumping in southern California beaches
(28:27):
and bays. Carl Demyo sitting in for John Coblt.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI SI.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
This is Carl Demyo sitting in for John Cobelt. We've
got the remainder of the week to talk about all
the issues, all the questions about how government has failed us,
the dirty little secrets. We're gonna be talking about voter
ID the campaign I'm leading to put an initiative on
the ballot in twenty twenty six to require voter ID
(28:58):
and citizenship verification in order to register to vote. If
you want to sign the petition, we need a million signatures,
go to voter idpetition dot org voter ID petition dot org. Tomorrow,
we're gonna talk about the mileage tax. Did you hear
about this? Galafonia politicians want to on top of the
existing sky high gas taxes and car tax now they
(29:23):
want to gouge again with the mileage tax. Yeah, they're
going to charge you six to nine cents per mile.
It's going to cost the average driver who does fifteen
thousand miles you know, a year, which is about average.
Some of you might drive more than that, about nine
hundred to twelve hundred dollars per driver per year. It's
(29:48):
just insane. We're going to talk about how the homeless
projects that they're building million dollars per unit home homeless
projects are not about helping homeless, but rather their grift
and boondoggle operations to give kickbacks to political contributors. Campaign
contributors and the politicians are in on the action as well.
(30:11):
We're going to talk about school reform, how we get
the wokeness out of the classrooms. So a lot of
great topics. If you want me to tag an additional
topic on or tack an additional topic onto our list
for this week, use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio
app and let me know what you want me to address.
Happy to do that. We're talking about Mexico dumping sewage
(30:34):
on southern California beaches and bays half of the year.
Half of the year we have at least one beach
closed in San Diego County because Mexico dumps sewage. They've
dumped over one hundred and fifty billion, one hundred and
fifty billion gallons of untreated sewage onto southern California beaches
(30:55):
and bays since October twenty eighteen. That's up eighty million
gallons of sewage day. Again, you want to talk about
climate change, you know, destroying the environment. You know this
is a real environmental calamity and a real public health hazard.
(31:16):
So here's the plan I've got. You go to the
Mexican government and you say, you know, we have this treaty.
It's called the nineteen forty four US Mexico Water Treaty.
And in this treaty, we deliver fresh water to you.
In fact, we've been giving them four hundred and eighty
(31:38):
eight billion gallons of water a year. That's one point
five million acre feet of fresh water to Mexico every
year under the treaty. Four hundred and eighty eight billion
gallons of fresh water. What do they do? They turn
around and they give us billions tens of billions of
gallons of untreated sewage every year in return. So my
(32:02):
proposal is, first, we are going to take that water
and shut it off. So I'm gonna say, but Carl,
it's part of an international treaty. We made the commitment. Aha,
And so did they. They made a commitment. Clearly they
have too much water because well, they've got a whole
lot of waste water that they're not able to manage.
(32:23):
So if you can't what manage your wastewater, we shouldn't
be giving you more gallons of fresh water. We don't
want to give you the fresh water and then you
send us back your crap water. That does not a
good transaction. That's not a good deal. So since they're
not adhering to their treaty obligations, I don't think we
should be sending them the water, but they're gonna come
and take it. I'd love to see that happen. But
(32:46):
we're willing to send that water to you if you
fix the sewage issue. In the meantime, we're not gonna wait.
We're gonna build the sewage treatment. We're just gonna go
ahead and build it. But you're gonna pay for it
if you want the water. Oh and by the way,
for every day that we have to shut one of
our beaches and bays, we're also going to shut one
(33:07):
of the border crossings so your residents can't come to
this country, earn their wages and take the jobs, and
then take the money back to Baja California every night. Look,
this is called consequence management. You learned it growing up.
You put your hand on the stove, it's hot. You'll
(33:28):
never do that again. Consequence management. So build the toilet bowl,
make Mexico pay for it, and put a penalty of
the water and the closure of the border onto the
table to force them to do their part. It's not
really that hard. I mean, cleaning wastewater is an engineering challenge.
(33:49):
It's not like it's magic. But no, we don't have
political willingness, not in California to do this. But I
think Donald Trump has started to saber rattle on this issue.
I'm very pleased by it, and I like to see more.
But that would be my plan, and that's what we're
going to try. We've been offering this to Trump. A
lot of people are now getting on board this plan.
(34:12):
But these are the sorts of solutions that we're offering.
They're common sense. They're not Republican or Democrat, they're just
common sense. Look, I can't do this work to reform
California alone. We're building a movement here and I'm inviting
you to be part of it. So check out the
