Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can'tf I Am six forty you're listening to the John
Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You can always get the podcast after four o'clock every
day and listen on demand. We're talking about the top
ten new laws in California, the worst new laws that
Gavin Newsom has signed into effect. You can get the
full list at Reform California dot org. Coming up, we're
going to talk about Trump vowing to send the National
Guard to San Francisco and what Gavin Newsom is trying
(00:29):
to do to politicize and push back rather than do
his job. But first we went through six out of
the ten bad bills. Let's pick it up with number
seven again. You can get the full list at Reform
California dot org. It's one of our top stories there.
Share it so all your friends know how bad these
(00:50):
laws are. SB seventy nine. This is particularly bad for
neighborhoods because SB seventy nine allows a developer to buy
us single family home, bulldoze it, and build are you
ready for it? A six story apartment tower without any
(01:11):
ability of the local city council or residents locally to
stop them. Developers basically are buying their way around common
sense regulations that are designed to protect the caliber the
character of a neighborhood. You see what's happening in Pacific palisades,
(01:33):
the places that were ravaged by fire due to in
large part, the negligence of politicians. Now the politicians are
adding insult injury by making it impossible for people to
rebuild so that then developers can scoop up the land
bargain basement price and instead of a single family home
being rebuilt, it's going to be massive, dense government subsidized
(01:58):
housing projects, and the developers, of course kick back contributions
to the politicians. It's a money laundering scheme. I mean,
she's look at why politicians are willing to bend over
backwards and make it easy for developers to do this
stuff and to subsidize it with the government subsidies. They
get a piece of the action in the form of
(02:19):
a campaign contribution. SB seventy nine is insane, coming in
at number eight aby three sixty one. It wastes taxpayer
money and once again gives special interests a you know,
basically a gift. It's project labor agreements. These are where
(02:40):
union construction companies are able to lock out the non
union workers and construction companies non union so that the
union companies get the monopoly. Remember eighty six percent of
construction company are non union, and the ones that are
(03:02):
non union are minority owned, veteran owned, women own small businesses.
The big boys are the union union firms. Now I'm again,
I'm not against union workers. If they win a bid, great, wonderful,
good for you. I want to build as much as
we can. I want to put people to work. But no, no, No.
(03:24):
AB three sixty one eliminates the notion of fair and
open competition and discriminates against non union firms and their workers.
It's wrong, and it drives up costs for taxpayers by
a factor of thirty to forty percent. Imagine that reducing
the competitive bidding for a project increases the top the
cost to taxpayers. Who who would have thought that. SB
(03:49):
forty two is the ninth bill that we have on
our list of the top ten craziest worst bills that
Newsom just signed into effect. SP forty two lets politicians
dip into taxpayer money to fund their own campaigns. It's
taxpayer funded campaigns. This is despite the fact that voters
(04:11):
in California have repeatedly said no, we don't want taxpayer
funded campaigns. SP forty two is another way that politicians
are trying to get around that previous set of votes.
They don't care what the voters say. They'll keep manipulating
ballot titles and ballot measures until they get what they want.
(04:32):
When they want is your money, and they want the
money for their political careers and advancement, not anything having
to do with you. And finally, AB two eighty eight,
it comes in at number ten the ten worst bills
Newsome assigned. It gives state bureaucrats control over private labor disputes. Basically,
(04:55):
the federal government has the National Labor Relations Board NL
they're supposed to enforce labor law, but not in California.
ABY two eighty eight says, we don't like what the
federal government's doing, so we're going to take federal law
and enforce it through a state agency. It literally is
(05:18):
declaring war on employers. And all these laws, these top
ten are again, I'm sure you know of a couple
laws that are not on this list that are equally bad.
But I had to just come up with ten because
I always do a top ten list. I do a
top ten worst new laws. It's hard to put this
list together. Do you understand how many bad bills there
(05:39):
are in Sacramento? I have voted no more than any
other legislator because there are that many bad bills. Thirty
four percent of my votes have been no votes. I
just don't vote. I vote no, and it's because I
believe that if it's a bad bill, you vote know,
and there are a lot of bad bills. Sound off
(06:02):
on the iHeartRadio app. Tell me if there's a bill
that you don't like that I might not have missed,
bring it up, ask the question about it so I
can address it with the audience. Chances are I'll give
you a ninety nine point nine nine nine ninety nine
that I voted no on the bill that you don't like,
but it didn't quite make it on our top ten list.
Share the list by going to Reform California dot org
(06:26):
and sharing the story on all your social media platforms.
You can sound off on the talkback feature by the
way of the iHeartRadio app. Coming up. In San Francisco,
crime has been at a record high. Politicians haven't done
anything about it, and the voters in San Francisco are
(06:48):
finally waking up, saying our lives are at risk. We
want a crackdown on crime. So along comes their unlikely hero,
Donald Trump, saying, if the politicians in the state of
and locally in San Francisco won't do their job, I
will by sending in the National Guard. And he's done
this in Washington, DC with great results, Chicago, Portland. Coming up,
(07:14):
Gavin Newsom is trying to now seize the California National
Guard and deploy them to food banks. All of that,
I'll sort it all out coming up, and why Donald
Trump is winning this battle. As Carl Demo fills in
(07:35):
for John co Belt on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You're listening to John coblt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Carl Demo sitting in for John Cobelt on KFI AM
six forty. We're talking about San Francisco and the crime
and grime in San Francisco, the fact that Gavin Newsom
as mayor and now as governor has completely neglected his job,
the other politicians in San Francisco completely neglected their jobs
(08:07):
and what has been the result, crime and crime, and
even Democrat Rich San Francisco. They're fed up and frustrated.
They cannot handle it anymore. You know, in the last election,
we had Proposition thirty six that make crime illegal again
initiative in California. It passed statewide with sixty eight point
(08:33):
seven percent of the vote, and it passed every county,
including San Francisco. So the liberals in San Francisco said,
enough coddling criminals. We need to have law and order.
And so they said, let's give Prop thirty six the
yes vote. Restore the tools to police and prosecutors to
(08:56):
keep us safe. But then Gavin Newsom said, I don't
care what the voters had to say. We're just going
to defund it. We're not going to put the money
in Prop thirty six in the budget. You knew that right.
Voters overwhelmingly approved Prop thirty six. And then Newsom said,
I'm going to overturn the result of the election by
not funding Prop thirty six in my budget. And of course,
(09:18):
in San Francisco, proper or improper as the case may be,
the politicians up there are not doing their job and
crime is still off the charts. So Donald Trump has
been going into blue cities Washington, DC, Chicago, Portland and
sending in the National Guard to do the job that
(09:42):
the Democrat politicians refused to do. And it's been working marvelously.
Crime is way down. So he said last week he's
looking at San Francisco, and once again he's saying he's
going to do it in San Francisco. So the Democrats
are all clutching their pearls.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh, this is terrible.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Trump is going to send the National Guard into San
Francisco to deal with crime and protect people.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
This is so awful.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Do you know how just authoritarian this is. This is undemocratic.
It's terrible. Meanwhile, the voters in San Francisco's are saying
it's about time. Here's a guy that posted something that's
gone way viral on the internet. He's a San Francisco resident.
He's a Democrat, Adam Nathan with a group called Blaze
(10:29):
AI listen.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
I'm a life on Democrat. I worked for President Obama.
I've never voted for our public and in my life,
but I feel radicalized about what's happening on our streets.
It's absolutely insane to see the street conditions in San Francisco,
to see what families and children and working professionals have
to deal with every single day in our city. And
it's because a couple of far left Democrats have become
radicalized and empowered themselves to take advantage of our compassion
(10:53):
and our leniency to prioritize the rights of a couple
people over the rights of the rest of the city.
It is not compassionate in San Francisco to not hold
people accountable for their actions. That is exactly what is happening.
That is a state of our homelessness and addiction policy
in San Francisco and in California, and it.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Has to change. A Democrat in San Francisco thanking President Trump.
He did not vote for Trump, but now he's happy
that Trump is doing this to protect his safety and
his family safety. And there are so many others. When
you look at the polling, voters across the country are
(11:31):
thrilled with what Trump is doing to restore law and
order in blue cities where politicians, Democrat politicians refuse to
save people's lives. And so this is a losing battle
for Gavin Newsom and the Democrats, but they don't care
because they hate police, they hate law enforcement. It was
a losing battle for them to oppose Prop thirty six,
(11:52):
but they don't care. They hate police, they hate law enforcement.
They're pro criminal. They were willing to oppose sixty eight
percent of Californians because they are that radical, they're that
out of touch. So Trump wins when he says I
(12:19):
think I should send the National Guard into these blue cities.
He's winning even Democrats who say, I'm not going to
admit this publicly. This guy obviously on social media did
he posted the video and went viral. But I think
he speaks for a whole bunch of other people. I
think that Trump might actually do it in LA because
(12:39):
Karen Bass is a diversity higher she certainly hasn't done
her job now newso he's not only opposing it, but
he said will sue. That's what he said a couple
days ago. Well you know what happened today, Dema Mark
told us about it in the last update on news.
(13:00):
A three judge panel at the federal level at the
appellate court level ruled against Portland city officials Democrats who
sued Trump because Trump sent the National Guard into Portland,
and the three judge panel said the president has a
right to do this. Now Portland is saying, well, we
(13:21):
don't like what those three judges said, we want all
twenty nine judges to hear it. So and that's, by
the way, that's a right in the federal court system
that if the subcommittee of judges says one thing, you
can always ask for a full review and consideration by
the full court, and that probably will be granted because
(13:41):
this is a case of national importance. But I'll tell
you where he's headed. It's headed to the US Supreme Court,
and they're going to uphold Trump's ability to do this.
They've done it repeatedly. But of course Newsom says, we're
gonna sue. We're fighting Trump even though he knows it's
a waste of money and he shouldn't be doing this.
He should actually just be doing his job. You know,
Gavin Newsom, Trump would not be sending in the National
Guard if you and the mayor and the city council
(14:04):
members in San francisci SCO would just do your damn jobs.
Just do your job. That's all people are asking for.
But no, Orange man is bad. Trump is bad because
because he cares about Blue voters. So knowing that he
can't win against Trump in court, Newsom is now trying
(14:30):
to seize the California National Guard before Trump can seize them,
and he's just announced today he's deploying them to food
banks around the state. Coming up, I'll explain why he
is doing this, what he says as to why he's
(14:51):
doing it, but I'll tell you the real reason why
why it again is a fraud. It's a diversion, dishonest
dist action. And I'll let you know kind of where
I think this is gonna end up in California, because
I don't think Trump's backing down, and I'm so grateful
he's not all that and more coming up as Carl
(15:13):
Demo sits in for John coe Belt on KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You can hear the show live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app,
and if you miss anything, you can always get the podcast.
They are always posted shortly after four o'clock each day.
We're talking about Trump, who last week said he wants
to send the National Guard into San Francisco to restore
law and order, and then he reiterated that commitment just yesterday.
(15:46):
Gavin Newsom says, you send in the National Guard and
we will sue. Well, today a federal court rendered a
ruling in a similar lawsuit that Portland officials brought again Trump,
and that federal court said Trump has the right to
do it. Sorry, Gavin, you can't sue to stop Trump
(16:11):
from doing your job. So now Newsom has decided to
just divert the attention. Divert the deployment of National Guard troops,
the California National Guard to food banks. Oh, you can't
(16:31):
make this crap up. There's no problem at our food
bank banks. People are able to get food. But Newsom
knows that Trump wants to deal with crime, so he
wants the National Guard to be too busy to go
deal with crime. And he is now saying that the
real need is at the food bank because no one
(16:51):
is getting food assistants in the state of California, which
is a lie. He cites the government shutdown, the fact
that we don't have a federal budget as to why
people on food stamps won't get money. They won't get money. Well,
hold on a second, why won't they get money, Gavin?
(17:15):
The state of California is reimbursed for food stamps as
long as they are for real eligible people. You have
your budget, you seem to have three hundred million dollars
extra lying around for an unnecessary, wasteful special election to
advance the political careers of politicians with Prop fifty. You
(17:36):
mean you don't have any money for poor people who
are hungry. See, that's what Newsom is claiming. He's claiming
that because we don't have a federal budget, there's no
money is left for food banks. It's a lie. And
the media won't challenge Newsom on his lies because they're
part of the lie. They carry his water. They want
(17:57):
him to be able to gaslight the public. He says,
the National Guard has to be at the food banks
to do What is anyone attacking the food bank? Are
there breaking into the food bank? No, if he deploys
a National Guard to the food banks, they're just going
(18:18):
to sit in front of him for a photo op.
But that's what this is all about. It's not about
really helping people. It's about diverting attention a political stunt.
There is no question in Washington about the funding for
(18:38):
eligible recipients of food assistants food stamps, but Democrats shut
down the government because they want more spending. Let's be
very clear about that. Republicans presented a budget and voted
for the budget. Democrats voted against the budget, depriving us
(18:59):
of the six votes in the Senate for the budget
to pass. Because Democrats want more money to be spent,
which means we have to borrow more money to spend
that money and waste that money. And where's the money going.
It's not going to pour people on food stamps. That's
not in question. The funding levels on food stamps not
in question. No, Democrats want subsidies for billionaires in the
(19:24):
Green New Deal. Democrats don't want work requirements on welfare.
They don't want anti fraud requirements on welfare. That's why
they're opposing the budget. There's no question, there's no debate,
there's no disagreement about people who are hungry should get food.
(19:49):
But the liberal media refuses to tell you that the
government shutdown has nothing to do with the food bank.
Davin Newsom runs the SNAP program for the state of California.
He gets reimbursed from the federal government, and you know
that eventually the Democrats are going to cry uncle and
they're going to open the government and he will get
(20:09):
reimbursed for every penny that he's spent in the interim.
He'll say, but I don't have that money on hand. Well,
you have three hundred million dollars for a special election
that wasn't necessary. Seem to have money for things that
you want, Gavin, that advance the political career of corrupt politicians,
that shield them from real accountability by rigging the election.
(20:35):
My friends, this is not hard. You don't hear this
from the media. What you'll hear is Donald Trump wants
to send the National Guard into San Francisco, and Newsom
says that he's a big old bully. Instead, Newsom wants
people who are poor to have food, and he's going
to use the National Guard to give them food by
(20:56):
sending them to the food banks that were shut down
because the government shut down in Washington. Back to you
in the studio to talk about climate change, honey, I mean,
that's basically the coverage you're going to hear tonight on
all the local TV newscasts and read about in the
La Slimes tomorrow. But it's all lies. Gavin Newsom doesn't
(21:18):
care about poor people getting food. If he did, he
wouldn't have the highest fraud rate of any state in
the Union for food stamps. Sixteen percent is the fraud
rate for the state of California. The federal reforms that
I mentioned earlier are trying to tell California to crack
(21:41):
down on fraud. Do your damn job, do it right.
Only let people who are eligible for food stamps get
the money, because otherwise you're taking food literally out of
the hands and the mouths of poor people. And so
California is being told they have to keep their fraud
rate to five percent. Again, think about five percent. That's
one out of twenty recipients being fraudulent, one out of twenty.
(22:05):
Governments saying yeah, one out of twenty, we will screw
up and waste money on. No other industry in the
world or service sector in the world allows a one
out of twenty error rate. It's like Delta Airlines saying
one out of twenty of our flights will crash, or
(22:26):
Bank of America one out of twenty checking accounts will
be defrauded. You wouldn't bank with them. But here in
the state of California, we're not just one out of twenty,
we're three out of twenty. Three out of twenty payments
(22:49):
made or one and a half out of ten made
for welfare food stamp assistants is fraudulent. Why are you surprised?
Gavin Newsom presided over thirty billion dollars of unemployment fraud
during the pandemic shut down the economy, then gave thirty
billion dollars to a bunch of fraudsters, and now he's
(23:12):
raising the unemployment tax on small businesses per worker to
pay for his mistakes. You don't hear about that on
the local TV news or in the La slimes because
they don't want to criticize him or hold him accountable.
He can do no wrong. He's not Trump. He's fighting Trump.
(23:34):
Let's reward him by protecting him. Can't do the job
or you have right now? Gavin, Why would we want
to give you a promotion to Washington. So what you're
going to see tonight is a diversion from the crime
crackdown that Trump is proposing with the National Guard to
a very clever diversion to poor people not getting food.
(23:58):
And that's why the National Guard needs to do. What
stand in front of a food bank. It's not like
they're showing up with palettes of food. At least when
they're deployed to San Francisco. They're armed and they can
stop bad people from doing bad things. Criminals coming up.
(24:22):
Will Nancy Pelosi announce her retirement in two weeks? And
as bad as you think she is, You're like, yeah,
I hope she leaves. As bad as you think Nancy
Pelosi is, it's about to get worse because I'll tell
you who the leading candidate is to take her spot.
All that and more is Carl Demio fills in on
the John co Belt Show on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Carl Demyo filling in from John co Belt on KFI
AM six forty. So, San Francisco politicians, they haven't done
their job. Trump's got to come in clean up the mess.
He says he'll use a national god if necessary. Newsom's
lost in court, so now he's just trying to like
divert the National Guards. So they're too busy standing in
front of food banks. Uh, for what reason? Just to
(25:14):
use his props. Okay, let's just be clear. It's it's
it's it's a political theater prop to divert attention from
Newsom's failures. Orangebun bad. No Gavin Newsom bad. San Francisco
politicians bad. Speaking of which, Nancy Pelosi, that's right, skeletor herself.
(25:38):
She's pretty old. You know, she was on the Mayflower,
and she was there for the First Continental Congress, and
she is getting to the point where her body is
starting to break down literally, and some people have been
speculating that she's going to retire. I actually don't think
(26:01):
she's going anywhere. I don't think she is going anywhere.
I think she's going to run for reelection. But anyway,
she has said I'm going to announce whether I am
running for reelection after November fourth Prop fifty battle. So
into the mix comes a possible successor, and this guy,
(26:25):
it's like going from the frying pan into the fire.
As bad as you know Nancy Pelosi is, it gets
worse because today State Senator Scott Wiener announced he wants
to run for Pelosi's seat, theoretically running against her, but
if she retires, then you know, he would be running
for the seat against someone that she probably is going
(26:46):
to back if she steps down. And I have that
name in just a moment. But Scott Wiener, if you
have not heard of this creep, and he deserves the
word creep, He is the patron saint of sex predators.
Every bill he authors is pro sex predator. This guy
authored SB one that allows someone to molest a child
(27:10):
as young as fourteen and avoid mandatory sex offender registry.
This guy passed a bill legalizing loitering and solicitation for prostitution,
allowing basically child traffickers and human traffickers to have free
rein to prey on these kids and sell them for sex.
(27:35):
He also got a bill pass that allowed for the
penalties on prosecuting someone if they buy a minor sixteen
or seventeen year olds for sex, that that's no longer
a crime. And then this year when we reversed his
bill with AB three seventy nine and made it a
crime if you buy a minor sixteen or seventeen year
(27:57):
old for sex, it's a crime again. Scott Wiener said
it was anti gay to try to pass that legislation. Yeah,
Scott Wiener, who would you like now? If it was
a choice between Nancy Pelosi, skeletor and Scott Wiener, which
(28:19):
predator do you pick the sex predator or just the
overall predator when it comes to our freedoms or cost
of living, your safety. So it's a tough choice. But
that's the core downtown San Francisco seat. That's what Pelosi represents.
(28:40):
It's insane. Here's Scott Wiener's launch video today.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Listen in my family escaped fascism in Europe. I never
thought the United States would slip into fascism like we're
seeing today.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Right there is he talking about the modern day Democrat
Party because you can't get more fascist than the Democrats
with their might. Makes right. Let's judge people based on
their skin color and their religion. People think fascism is
a right wing concept. No, fascism is Anyone who wants
to weaponize government against someone else is a fascist. They
(29:18):
are left wing fascists. There are right wing fascists. And
by the way, Nazi stood for national socialist. So she's like,
we're a fascist country, yes, and you helped make San
Francisco a fascist country. Everywhere else is a free country,
(29:39):
but San Francisco, I would say, yeah, San Francisco is
governed as a fascist country. Let's pick it up.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
San Francisco has always been on the right side of history.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Oh, I would beg to differ, and I think most
San Francisco's would beg to San Franciscans who've left that
hellhole would beg to differ. We're on the right side
of history. No, you are a hellhole. You are to
be mocked deservedly, so.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Pick it up, standing up for democracy and civil rights
even when it's hard. I'm Scott Weener. I'm running for
Congress to defend San Francisco, our values, our people, and
the Constitution of the United States. With everything I have,
I've stood up to violence and hate my entire life.
Trump and his maggot extremists don't scare me. They won't
(30:31):
stop me or the people of our great city from
fighting back and doing what's right. Now in Congress, I'll
continue holding insurance companies accountable so families.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Dogs, and protection. It's the same old nonsense, Scott Wiener.
I know Nancy Pelosi. Scott Wiener, You're known Nancy Pelosi.
If Nancy Pelosi decides to run, Scott Wiener will get crushed,
absolutely crush. Even the sex predators will say, Scott, you've
(31:02):
done everything for us, You've protected us, You've given us
the ability to do things that are illegal in other states.
But Nancy Pelosi gets my vote. I mean, come on,
who's able to do that much insider trading and make
that much money for herself?
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Boy?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
That is that's the American dream. Do you know how
many young children you could buy with that amount of
money from Pelosi? No, Scott Wiener, if he runs against Pelosi,
he loses. So him announcing early is him trying to
step on Nancy Pelosi. But more importantly, he doesn't want
(31:42):
Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Christine Pelosi, to get the seat or
another person that people are rumored to see as her successor,
Connie chan So pick your poison, Wiener or Pelosi. Coming up,
(32:03):
I'm gonna take your talkback questions because again, if I'm here,
you get to ask me, a state legislator, what's it
really like in Sacramento behind closed doors. I will tell
you the truth I always do, and it's as bad
as you can possibly imagine. So use the talkback feature
on the iHeartRadio app to give us your questions. We'll
answer them in the next hour. I'll also talk about
(32:23):
the fight against Prop fifty and our efforts to get
a million signatures for the California Voter I D Initiative.

going to talk about Trump vowing to send the National
Guard to San Francisco and what Gavin Newsom is trying
(00:29):
to do to politicize and push back rather than do
his job. But first we went through six out of
the ten bad bills. Let's pick it up with number
seven again. You can get the full list at Reform
California dot org. It's one of our top stories there.
Share it so all your friends know how bad these
(00:50):
laws are. SB seventy nine. This is particularly bad for
neighborhoods because SB seventy nine allows a developer to buy
us single family home, bulldoze it, and build are you
ready for it? A six story apartment tower without any
(01:11):
ability of the local city council or residents locally to
stop them. Developers basically are buying their way around common
sense regulations that are designed to protect the caliber the
character of a neighborhood. You see what's happening in Pacific palisades,
(01:33):
the places that were ravaged by fire due to in
large part, the negligence of politicians. Now the politicians are
adding insult injury by making it impossible for people to
rebuild so that then developers can scoop up the land
bargain basement price and instead of a single family home
being rebuilt, it's going to be massive, dense government subsidized
(01:58):
housing projects, and the developers, of course kick back contributions
to the politicians. It's a money laundering scheme. I mean,
she's look at why politicians are willing to bend over
backwards and make it easy for developers to do this
stuff and to subsidize it with the government subsidies. They
get a piece of the action in the form of
(02:19):
a campaign contribution. SB seventy nine is insane, coming in
at number eight aby three sixty one. It wastes taxpayer
money and once again gives special interests a you know,
basically a gift. It's project labor agreements. These are where
(02:40):
union construction companies are able to lock out the non
union workers and construction companies non union so that the
union companies get the monopoly. Remember eighty six percent of
construction company are non union, and the ones that are
(03:02):
non union are minority owned, veteran owned, women own small businesses.
The big boys are the union union firms. Now I'm again,
I'm not against union workers. If they win a bid, great, wonderful,
good for you. I want to build as much as
we can. I want to put people to work. But no, no, No.
(03:24):
AB three sixty one eliminates the notion of fair and
open competition and discriminates against non union firms and their workers.
It's wrong, and it drives up costs for taxpayers by
a factor of thirty to forty percent. Imagine that reducing
the competitive bidding for a project increases the top the
cost to taxpayers. Who who would have thought that. SB
(03:49):
forty two is the ninth bill that we have on
our list of the top ten craziest worst bills that
Newsom just signed into effect. SP forty two lets politicians
dip into taxpayer money to fund their own campaigns. It's
taxpayer funded campaigns. This is despite the fact that voters
(04:11):
in California have repeatedly said no, we don't want taxpayer
funded campaigns. SP forty two is another way that politicians
are trying to get around that previous set of votes.
They don't care what the voters say. They'll keep manipulating
ballot titles and ballot measures until they get what they want.
(04:32):
When they want is your money, and they want the
money for their political careers and advancement, not anything having
to do with you. And finally, AB two eighty eight,
it comes in at number ten the ten worst bills
Newsome assigned. It gives state bureaucrats control over private labor disputes. Basically,
(04:55):
the federal government has the National Labor Relations Board NL
they're supposed to enforce labor law, but not in California.
ABY two eighty eight says, we don't like what the
federal government's doing, so we're going to take federal law
and enforce it through a state agency. It literally is
(05:18):
declaring war on employers. And all these laws, these top
ten are again, I'm sure you know of a couple
laws that are not on this list that are equally bad.
But I had to just come up with ten because
I always do a top ten list. I do a
top ten worst new laws. It's hard to put this
list together. Do you understand how many bad bills there
(05:39):
are in Sacramento? I have voted no more than any
other legislator because there are that many bad bills. Thirty
four percent of my votes have been no votes. I
just don't vote. I vote no, and it's because I
believe that if it's a bad bill, you vote know,
and there are a lot of bad bills. Sound off
(06:02):
on the iHeartRadio app. Tell me if there's a bill
that you don't like that I might not have missed,
bring it up, ask the question about it so I
can address it with the audience. Chances are I'll give
you a ninety nine point nine nine nine ninety nine
that I voted no on the bill that you don't like,
but it didn't quite make it on our top ten list.
Share the list by going to Reform California dot org
(06:26):
and sharing the story on all your social media platforms.
You can sound off on the talkback feature by the
way of the iHeartRadio app. Coming up. In San Francisco,
crime has been at a record high. Politicians haven't done
anything about it, and the voters in San Francisco are
(06:48):
finally waking up, saying our lives are at risk. We
want a crackdown on crime. So along comes their unlikely hero,
Donald Trump, saying, if the politicians in the state of
and locally in San Francisco won't do their job, I
will by sending in the National Guard. And he's done
this in Washington, DC with great results, Chicago, Portland. Coming up,
(07:14):
Gavin Newsom is trying to now seize the California National
Guard and deploy them to food banks. All of that,
I'll sort it all out coming up, and why Donald
Trump is winning this battle. As Carl Demo fills in
(07:35):
for John co Belt on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You're listening to John coblt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Carl Demo sitting in for John Cobelt on KFI AM
six forty. We're talking about San Francisco and the crime
and grime in San Francisco, the fact that Gavin Newsom
as mayor and now as governor has completely neglected his job,
the other politicians in San Francisco completely neglected their jobs
(08:07):
and what has been the result, crime and crime, and
even Democrat Rich San Francisco. They're fed up and frustrated.
They cannot handle it anymore. You know, in the last election,
we had Proposition thirty six that make crime illegal again
initiative in California. It passed statewide with sixty eight point
(08:33):
seven percent of the vote, and it passed every county,
including San Francisco. So the liberals in San Francisco said,
enough coddling criminals. We need to have law and order.
And so they said, let's give Prop thirty six the
yes vote. Restore the tools to police and prosecutors to
(08:56):
keep us safe. But then Gavin Newsom said, I don't
care what the voters had to say. We're just going
to defund it. We're not going to put the money
in Prop thirty six in the budget. You knew that right.
Voters overwhelmingly approved Prop thirty six. And then Newsom said,
I'm going to overturn the result of the election by
not funding Prop thirty six in my budget. And of course,
(09:18):
in San Francisco, proper or improper as the case may be,
the politicians up there are not doing their job and
crime is still off the charts. So Donald Trump has
been going into blue cities Washington, DC, Chicago, Portland and
sending in the National Guard to do the job that
(09:42):
the Democrat politicians refused to do. And it's been working marvelously.
Crime is way down. So he said last week he's
looking at San Francisco, and once again he's saying he's
going to do it in San Francisco. So the Democrats
are all clutching their pearls.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh, this is terrible.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Trump is going to send the National Guard into San
Francisco to deal with crime and protect people.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
This is so awful.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Do you know how just authoritarian this is. This is undemocratic.
It's terrible. Meanwhile, the voters in San Francisco's are saying
it's about time. Here's a guy that posted something that's
gone way viral on the internet. He's a San Francisco resident.
He's a Democrat, Adam Nathan with a group called Blaze
(10:29):
AI listen.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
I'm a life on Democrat. I worked for President Obama.
I've never voted for our public and in my life,
but I feel radicalized about what's happening on our streets.
It's absolutely insane to see the street conditions in San Francisco,
to see what families and children and working professionals have
to deal with every single day in our city. And
it's because a couple of far left Democrats have become
radicalized and empowered themselves to take advantage of our compassion
(10:53):
and our leniency to prioritize the rights of a couple
people over the rights of the rest of the city.
It is not compassionate in San Francisco to not hold
people accountable for their actions. That is exactly what is happening.
That is a state of our homelessness and addiction policy
in San Francisco and in California, and it.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Has to change. A Democrat in San Francisco thanking President Trump.
He did not vote for Trump, but now he's happy
that Trump is doing this to protect his safety and
his family safety. And there are so many others. When
you look at the polling, voters across the country are
(11:31):
thrilled with what Trump is doing to restore law and
order in blue cities where politicians, Democrat politicians refuse to
save people's lives. And so this is a losing battle
for Gavin Newsom and the Democrats, but they don't care
because they hate police, they hate law enforcement. It was
a losing battle for them to oppose Prop thirty six,
(11:52):
but they don't care. They hate police, they hate law enforcement.
They're pro criminal. They were willing to oppose sixty eight
percent of Californians because they are that radical, they're that
out of touch. So Trump wins when he says I
(12:19):
think I should send the National Guard into these blue cities.
He's winning even Democrats who say, I'm not going to
admit this publicly. This guy obviously on social media did
he posted the video and went viral. But I think
he speaks for a whole bunch of other people. I
think that Trump might actually do it in LA because
(12:39):
Karen Bass is a diversity higher she certainly hasn't done
her job now newso he's not only opposing it, but
he said will sue. That's what he said a couple
days ago. Well you know what happened today, Dema Mark
told us about it in the last update on news.
(13:00):
A three judge panel at the federal level at the
appellate court level ruled against Portland city officials Democrats who
sued Trump because Trump sent the National Guard into Portland,
and the three judge panel said the president has a
right to do this. Now Portland is saying, well, we
(13:21):
don't like what those three judges said, we want all
twenty nine judges to hear it. So and that's, by
the way, that's a right in the federal court system
that if the subcommittee of judges says one thing, you
can always ask for a full review and consideration by
the full court, and that probably will be granted because
(13:41):
this is a case of national importance. But I'll tell
you where he's headed. It's headed to the US Supreme Court,
and they're going to uphold Trump's ability to do this.
They've done it repeatedly. But of course Newsom says, we're
gonna sue. We're fighting Trump even though he knows it's
a waste of money and he shouldn't be doing this.
He should actually just be doing his job. You know,
Gavin Newsom, Trump would not be sending in the National
Guard if you and the mayor and the city council
(14:04):
members in San francisci SCO would just do your damn jobs.
Just do your job. That's all people are asking for.
But no, Orange man is bad. Trump is bad because
because he cares about Blue voters. So knowing that he
can't win against Trump in court, Newsom is now trying
(14:30):
to seize the California National Guard before Trump can seize them,
and he's just announced today he's deploying them to food
banks around the state. Coming up, I'll explain why he
is doing this, what he says as to why he's
(14:51):
doing it, but I'll tell you the real reason why
why it again is a fraud. It's a diversion, dishonest
dist action. And I'll let you know kind of where
I think this is gonna end up in California, because
I don't think Trump's backing down, and I'm so grateful
he's not all that and more coming up as Carl
(15:13):
Demo sits in for John coe Belt on KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You can hear the show live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app,
and if you miss anything, you can always get the podcast.
They are always posted shortly after four o'clock each day.
We're talking about Trump, who last week said he wants
to send the National Guard into San Francisco to restore
law and order, and then he reiterated that commitment just yesterday.
(15:46):
Gavin Newsom says, you send in the National Guard and
we will sue. Well, today a federal court rendered a
ruling in a similar lawsuit that Portland officials brought again Trump,
and that federal court said Trump has the right to
do it. Sorry, Gavin, you can't sue to stop Trump
(16:11):
from doing your job. So now Newsom has decided to
just divert the attention. Divert the deployment of National Guard troops,
the California National Guard to food banks. Oh, you can't
(16:31):
make this crap up. There's no problem at our food
bank banks. People are able to get food. But Newsom
knows that Trump wants to deal with crime, so he
wants the National Guard to be too busy to go
deal with crime. And he is now saying that the
real need is at the food bank because no one
(16:51):
is getting food assistants in the state of California, which
is a lie. He cites the government shutdown, the fact
that we don't have a federal budget as to why
people on food stamps won't get money. They won't get money. Well,
hold on a second, why won't they get money, Gavin?
(17:15):
The state of California is reimbursed for food stamps as
long as they are for real eligible people. You have
your budget, you seem to have three hundred million dollars
extra lying around for an unnecessary, wasteful special election to
advance the political careers of politicians with Prop fifty. You
(17:36):
mean you don't have any money for poor people who
are hungry. See, that's what Newsom is claiming. He's claiming
that because we don't have a federal budget, there's no
money is left for food banks. It's a lie. And
the media won't challenge Newsom on his lies because they're
part of the lie. They carry his water. They want
(17:57):
him to be able to gaslight the public. He says,
the National Guard has to be at the food banks
to do What is anyone attacking the food bank? Are
there breaking into the food bank? No, if he deploys
a National Guard to the food banks, they're just going
(18:18):
to sit in front of him for a photo op.
But that's what this is all about. It's not about
really helping people. It's about diverting attention a political stunt.
There is no question in Washington about the funding for
(18:38):
eligible recipients of food assistants food stamps, but Democrats shut
down the government because they want more spending. Let's be
very clear about that. Republicans presented a budget and voted
for the budget. Democrats voted against the budget, depriving us
(18:59):
of the six votes in the Senate for the budget
to pass. Because Democrats want more money to be spent,
which means we have to borrow more money to spend
that money and waste that money. And where's the money going.
It's not going to pour people on food stamps. That's
not in question. The funding levels on food stamps not
in question. No, Democrats want subsidies for billionaires in the
(19:24):
Green New Deal. Democrats don't want work requirements on welfare.
They don't want anti fraud requirements on welfare. That's why
they're opposing the budget. There's no question, there's no debate,
there's no disagreement about people who are hungry should get food.
(19:49):
But the liberal media refuses to tell you that the
government shutdown has nothing to do with the food bank.
Davin Newsom runs the SNAP program for the state of California.
He gets reimbursed from the federal government, and you know
that eventually the Democrats are going to cry uncle and
they're going to open the government and he will get
(20:09):
reimbursed for every penny that he's spent in the interim.
He'll say, but I don't have that money on hand. Well,
you have three hundred million dollars for a special election
that wasn't necessary. Seem to have money for things that
you want, Gavin, that advance the political career of corrupt politicians,
that shield them from real accountability by rigging the election.
(20:35):
My friends, this is not hard. You don't hear this
from the media. What you'll hear is Donald Trump wants
to send the National Guard into San Francisco, and Newsom
says that he's a big old bully. Instead, Newsom wants
people who are poor to have food, and he's going
to use the National Guard to give them food by
(20:56):
sending them to the food banks that were shut down
because the government shut down in Washington. Back to you
in the studio to talk about climate change, honey, I mean,
that's basically the coverage you're going to hear tonight on
all the local TV newscasts and read about in the
La Slimes tomorrow. But it's all lies. Gavin Newsom doesn't
(21:18):
care about poor people getting food. If he did, he
wouldn't have the highest fraud rate of any state in
the Union for food stamps. Sixteen percent is the fraud
rate for the state of California. The federal reforms that
I mentioned earlier are trying to tell California to crack
(21:41):
down on fraud. Do your damn job, do it right.
Only let people who are eligible for food stamps get
the money, because otherwise you're taking food literally out of
the hands and the mouths of poor people. And so
California is being told they have to keep their fraud
rate to five percent. Again, think about five percent. That's
one out of twenty recipients being fraudulent, one out of twenty.
(22:05):
Governments saying yeah, one out of twenty, we will screw
up and waste money on. No other industry in the
world or service sector in the world allows a one
out of twenty error rate. It's like Delta Airlines saying
one out of twenty of our flights will crash, or
(22:26):
Bank of America one out of twenty checking accounts will
be defrauded. You wouldn't bank with them. But here in
the state of California, we're not just one out of twenty,
we're three out of twenty. Three out of twenty payments
(22:49):
made or one and a half out of ten made
for welfare food stamp assistants is fraudulent. Why are you surprised?
Gavin Newsom presided over thirty billion dollars of unemployment fraud
during the pandemic shut down the economy, then gave thirty
billion dollars to a bunch of fraudsters, and now he's
(23:12):
raising the unemployment tax on small businesses per worker to
pay for his mistakes. You don't hear about that on
the local TV news or in the La slimes because
they don't want to criticize him or hold him accountable.
He can do no wrong. He's not Trump. He's fighting Trump.
(23:34):
Let's reward him by protecting him. Can't do the job
or you have right now? Gavin, Why would we want
to give you a promotion to Washington. So what you're
going to see tonight is a diversion from the crime
crackdown that Trump is proposing with the National Guard to
a very clever diversion to poor people not getting food.
(23:58):
And that's why the National Guard needs to do. What
stand in front of a food bank. It's not like
they're showing up with palettes of food. At least when
they're deployed to San Francisco. They're armed and they can
stop bad people from doing bad things. Criminals coming up.
(24:22):
Will Nancy Pelosi announce her retirement in two weeks? And
as bad as you think she is, You're like, yeah,
I hope she leaves. As bad as you think Nancy
Pelosi is, it's about to get worse because I'll tell
you who the leading candidate is to take her spot.
All that and more is Carl Demio fills in on
the John co Belt Show on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Carl Demyo filling in from John co Belt on KFI
AM six forty. So, San Francisco politicians, they haven't done
their job. Trump's got to come in clean up the mess.
He says he'll use a national god if necessary. Newsom's
lost in court, so now he's just trying to like
divert the National Guards. So they're too busy standing in
front of food banks. Uh, for what reason? Just to
(25:14):
use his props. Okay, let's just be clear. It's it's
it's it's a political theater prop to divert attention from
Newsom's failures. Orangebun bad. No Gavin Newsom bad. San Francisco
politicians bad. Speaking of which, Nancy Pelosi, that's right, skeletor herself.
(25:38):
She's pretty old. You know, she was on the Mayflower,
and she was there for the First Continental Congress, and
she is getting to the point where her body is
starting to break down literally, and some people have been
speculating that she's going to retire. I actually don't think
(26:01):
she's going anywhere. I don't think she is going anywhere.
I think she's going to run for reelection. But anyway,
she has said I'm going to announce whether I am
running for reelection after November fourth Prop fifty battle. So
into the mix comes a possible successor, and this guy,
(26:25):
it's like going from the frying pan into the fire.
As bad as you know Nancy Pelosi is, it gets
worse because today State Senator Scott Wiener announced he wants
to run for Pelosi's seat, theoretically running against her, but
if she retires, then you know, he would be running
for the seat against someone that she probably is going
(26:46):
to back if she steps down. And I have that
name in just a moment. But Scott Wiener, if you
have not heard of this creep, and he deserves the
word creep, He is the patron saint of sex predators.
Every bill he authors is pro sex predator. This guy
authored SB one that allows someone to molest a child
(27:10):
as young as fourteen and avoid mandatory sex offender registry.
This guy passed a bill legalizing loitering and solicitation for prostitution,
allowing basically child traffickers and human traffickers to have free
rein to prey on these kids and sell them for sex.
(27:35):
He also got a bill pass that allowed for the
penalties on prosecuting someone if they buy a minor sixteen
or seventeen year olds for sex, that that's no longer
a crime. And then this year when we reversed his
bill with AB three seventy nine and made it a
crime if you buy a minor sixteen or seventeen year
(27:57):
old for sex, it's a crime again. Scott Wiener said
it was anti gay to try to pass that legislation. Yeah,
Scott Wiener, who would you like now? If it was
a choice between Nancy Pelosi, skeletor and Scott Wiener, which
(28:19):
predator do you pick the sex predator or just the
overall predator when it comes to our freedoms or cost
of living, your safety. So it's a tough choice. But
that's the core downtown San Francisco seat. That's what Pelosi represents.
(28:40):
It's insane. Here's Scott Wiener's launch video today.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Listen in my family escaped fascism in Europe. I never
thought the United States would slip into fascism like we're
seeing today.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Right there is he talking about the modern day Democrat
Party because you can't get more fascist than the Democrats
with their might. Makes right. Let's judge people based on
their skin color and their religion. People think fascism is
a right wing concept. No, fascism is Anyone who wants
to weaponize government against someone else is a fascist. They
(29:18):
are left wing fascists. There are right wing fascists. And
by the way, Nazi stood for national socialist. So she's like,
we're a fascist country, yes, and you helped make San
Francisco a fascist country. Everywhere else is a free country,
(29:39):
but San Francisco, I would say, yeah, San Francisco is
governed as a fascist country. Let's pick it up.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
San Francisco has always been on the right side of history.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Oh, I would beg to differ, and I think most
San Francisco's would beg to San Franciscans who've left that
hellhole would beg to differ. We're on the right side
of history. No, you are a hellhole. You are to
be mocked deservedly, so.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Pick it up, standing up for democracy and civil rights
even when it's hard. I'm Scott Weener. I'm running for
Congress to defend San Francisco, our values, our people, and
the Constitution of the United States. With everything I have,
I've stood up to violence and hate my entire life.
Trump and his maggot extremists don't scare me. They won't
(30:31):
stop me or the people of our great city from
fighting back and doing what's right. Now in Congress, I'll
continue holding insurance companies accountable so families.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Dogs, and protection. It's the same old nonsense, Scott Wiener.
I know Nancy Pelosi. Scott Wiener, You're known Nancy Pelosi.
If Nancy Pelosi decides to run, Scott Wiener will get crushed,
absolutely crush. Even the sex predators will say, Scott, you've
(31:02):
done everything for us, You've protected us, You've given us
the ability to do things that are illegal in other states.
But Nancy Pelosi gets my vote. I mean, come on,
who's able to do that much insider trading and make
that much money for herself?
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Boy?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
That is that's the American dream. Do you know how
many young children you could buy with that amount of
money from Pelosi? No, Scott Wiener, if he runs against Pelosi,
he loses. So him announcing early is him trying to
step on Nancy Pelosi. But more importantly, he doesn't want
(31:42):
Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Christine Pelosi, to get the seat or
another person that people are rumored to see as her successor,
Connie chan So pick your poison, Wiener or Pelosi. Coming up,
(32:03):
I'm gonna take your talkback questions because again, if I'm here,
you get to ask me, a state legislator, what's it
really like in Sacramento behind closed doors. I will tell
you the truth I always do, and it's as bad
as you can possibly imagine. So use the talkback feature
on the iHeartRadio app to give us your questions. We'll
answer them in the next hour. I'll also talk about
(32:23):
the fight against Prop fifty and our efforts to get
a million signatures for the California Voter I D Initiative.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
